The group of people arrived at the hotel, and the swordsman hurriedly led the way to the corner room.
This room is relatively remote and separated. It is more like a temporary storage room or other empty house than a hotel room.
"This is it, please wait a moment!" The swordsman came to the door, turned around and said, then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A weak voice sounded in the room.
"Paula, it's me!" the swordsman shouted, "I'm back!"
"Galen?" The person inside seemed relieved, "Wait a moment, I'll get out of bed right away."
It turns out that the swordsman's name is Galen, but I didn't seem to have asked him before.
After a while, the door opened gently, and inside there was a woman wearing a long coarse cloth skirt and a black gauze hat to cover her face, so her appearance could not be seen.
This woman is shorter than the swordsman Galen, and her body is on the thin side.
Xu Shi suddenly saw so many people outside the door and was startled: "Galen, this..."
"Don't be afraid!" The swordsman hurriedly said to her, "Paula, I finally found Master Ryder, and he is also willing to use Geo Flower Leaves to save you! As for these few, they are also big shots, and they have something to do with Master Ryder.
, just dropped by and waited for him. Don’t say so much, and quickly let Master Ryder cure your curse!"
"Really? Master Ryder is really willing to save me?" Paula was happy and worried at the same time.
"What is your identity, Master? You will definitely not lie to me!" Galen turned back and looked at Master Ryder expectantly, "Right, Master?"
"Yeah! I never regret what I say." Ryder nodded and looked at Paula carefully, "Looking at her appearance, could it be that the curse has begun to take effect?"
"Yes, and it has spread all over the body." Galen's eyes showed sadness, "I had no choice but to cover all the skin to avoid scaring others."
"Let me see!" Ryder stepped directly into the room.
Paula retreated subconsciously, still afraid.
"Paula, it's okay!" Galen knew that she was afraid of being seen in her current state, but she needed treatment to recover, so he hurried over and said softly, "You need to let Master Ryder take a look at the situation before he can treat you.
!"
"Don't be afraid, child, take off your hat, then lift up your sleeves and let me see your arms." Ryder said softly, "We should have a rough idea of the extent of your curse before we can decide on the dosage of Geoflower leaves."
"Did you hear that? Paula, it's okay." Galen comforted, "Take off your hat and I'll roll up your sleeves for you."
Paula looked at Ryder, then at Jia Zhengjin and others who did not show their faces behind, and finally focused on Galen. After hesitating for a moment, she finally plucked up the courage, reached out and took off her black gauze hat and put it next to her.
As soon as the hat was taken off, everyone present could not help but frown.
Because under the hat, there was an ugly face covered with pustules, and disgusting pus overflowed from the top of each pustule. Those who didn't know it thought they were looking at a rotting zombie.
Galen didn't care at all, and carefully rolled up Paula's sleeves. There were yellow spots on the surface of the sleeves, and there was even pus sloshing around.
Paula's hands were also full of pustules. This scene made Jia Zhengjin think of toads involuntarily, and felt that the skin was particularly similar.
"What a vicious curse!" Ryder couldn't help but frown when he saw this.
"Master Ryder, can it be cured? Geoflower leaves should be useful, right?" Galen asked worriedly.
Although Paula said nothing, her eyes were equally sincere.
Master Ryder nodded slightly, and even though he didn't feel disgusted, he reached out and gently grabbed Paula's right wrist, pressed his fingers on the pus-covered skin a few times, and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Hey!"
"What's wrong?" Jia Zhengjin, who was eating melons nearby, couldn't help but asked curiously.
"This child has such a strong affinity for magic!" Ryder looked at Paula in surprise, "Have you ever learned magic?"
"No..." Paula shook her head, "I'm just an ordinary country girl. I have no chance or the conditions to learn magic."
"With your affinity for magic, what a pity!" Ryder thought for a moment, "What a fate! What a fate!"
"Master Ryder?" Seeing that he mentioned magic talent inexplicably, Galen said hurriedly, "Can you help Paula treat her first?"
"Hmm~" Ryder let go of Paula's wrist and nodded slightly, "The purpose of my coming here was to cure her. But now I have to add a prerequisite!"
"Why?" Galen suddenly became worried, "What do you want?"
"It's very simple," Ryder smiled and looked at Paula, "When I cure this child's curse, she must become my teacher and learn magic from me!"
"Ah?!" Not only Galen, but also Paula was stunned.
What is going on? At first, I thought it was a miracle among miracles that such a big shot was willing to come together to help with the treatment. Who would have thought that he would even accept Paula as his apprentice? Is this a dream?
Master Ryder is a legendary reclusive powerhouse. How many people have hoped to become his disciple but failed. Why do they take the initiative to accept Paula as a disciple as soon as they see Paula?
Galen and Paula were both stunned, completely unresponsive.
Jia Zhengjin also felt strange. He didn't know how the so-called magic affinity was revealed, and why Master Ryder was so interested in it.
After thinking for a moment, he took out Coius's glasses and put them on, and looked at the ugly girl covered with pustules in front of him again.
Only after seeing this did I realize that although this girl looked very disgusting, her magic aptitude was as high as 94 points, making her a genius.
Although she is much worse than Christina, she still has extremely rare qualifications.
Basically, if any qualification exceeds 90 points, you will have the opportunity to become a strong person in the future. It will be easier if you have the guidance of a famous teacher.
The most important thing is that this Paula's level is very low, which means that she has indeed not learned any magic knowledge. This is equivalent to a blank piece of paper, and she can be made into the ideal magic genius at will!
If Jia Zhengjin were a master of magic himself, he would probably not be able to resist accepting such a jade as his disciple.
"What, you don't want to? Or do you think I'm not qualified to be your teacher?" Seeing that Paula and Galen were still in a daze, Ryder asked softly.
Paula was still in a daze, but Galen reacted, with a look of ecstasy on his face. He quickly reached out and pulled Paula to his knees: "Quick! Quickly say thank you to Master Ryder! No, you should just call the teacher directly.
!Paula, this is a huge opportunity!"
Ryder stroked his beard and looked at the two young people kneeling in front of him with a smile. Of course, his eyes were mainly focused on Paula.
Paula was dizzy and a little confused about the situation. But because of her trust in Galen, she kowtowed directly: "Thank you, teacher..." (To be continued)
