Before doing something, you must first consider two consequences.
One is the consequences of doing this thing.
The other is the consequences of not doing it.
As long as you consider these two consequences clearly, the chance of making a mistake will be greatly reduced.
Lying in bed, Reggie was thinking about these two consequences.
First of all, it is certain that Duraka did not lie. He attacked Shattering Snow City but tried his best to avoid hurting anyone. After being released, he still stayed in the dungeon and refused to leave. This shows that he told Reggie the truth. He really was
Came to seek medical treatment from the leader.
So should we treat the leader of the mountain demon?
Their leader Theotitan could not go down the mountain, and it was impossible for Reggie to let Imma go up the mountain to treat him. Even if Imma agreed, Reggie would not allow it. It would be too dangerous.
Moreover, penicillin is not a panacea, especially for an unknown life that has lived for thousands of years. It is difficult to say what kind of effect penicillin can have. Maybe during the skin test, the Troll King died due to allergies.
It may not be that easy to reason with the mountain demons.
Then let’s look at the consequences of not doing this.
According to the records in the books, Diotitan, the king of the mountain demons, defeated the demon Mandesa, but Mandesa did not die. He and his men all fled underground, but they were still living in the Mountain of Death.
Many people have seen the footprints of evil spirits in caves.
If what Laduca said is true, and if Diotitan dies and Mandesa regains control of the Lost Mountains, the consequences will be catastrophic.
There are not many books about evil spirits, but all the texts related to evil spirits have a common characteristic. They are the terminators of all other lives, and killing is the only meaning of their existence in this world.
Demons are the only species among all creatures that Reggie cannot accept. Many countries have perished because of demons, and some countries are still threatened by demons. The frozen demon in Bayer is an example.
If Mandesa takes control of the Lost Mountain, Shattered Snow City will surely become a hell on earth.
After weighing the pros and cons of both parties, before falling asleep, Reggie made the decision that he must treat the Troll Demon King. He could not let Imma take the risk and had to go there himself.
At dawn the next day, Reggie called Jarvan, Batchelor and Erwin. As soon as he announced his decision, Jarvan and Erwin immediately expressed their opposition, especially Jarvan, who even threatened to kill him.
Reggie could understand Jiawen's mood, but he neither wanted to say nor listen to provocative words.
Although Ima taught several assistants how to inject, they have not yet learned the diagnostic techniques.
The only people who can accurately judge the symptoms of infection and use penicillin correctly are Reggie and Irma. There is no other choice.
Before Diotitan dies, other trolls will come one after another in search of doctors and medicine.
After Diotitan dies, the one who comes may not be the mountain monster, and what he wants may no longer be as simple as doctors and medicines.
There has to be someone to solve the problem, not by preaching some spirit, not by implementing some doctrine, not by speaking inspiring words, but by risking one's life to solve the problem personally.
Batchelor is very good at solving problems. He knows that Reggie has made up his mind, and the most important task now is how to ensure Reggie's safety.
"I recommend that you take the pathfinder wizard Doranor with you," Batchelor said. "No matter what the situation, he can find a way to escape for you."
Reggie asked: "Has the wizard recovered?"
Bachelo said: "It's six to seven minutes better, and walking should be no problem."
Reggie thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think his witchcraft is suitable for escape."
Bachelo was surprised: "Why would your Excellency say that?"
Reggie said: "If you let him open a road, he must stay at the entrance of the road and draw a totem or something like that. If he dies or the totem is destroyed, the road will disappear immediately. Not only will his sacrifice be in vain?
I'm afraid we won't be able to escape either."
Batchelor smiled and said: "My lord, he will only use rituals and spells to target the broken snow stones on the broken snow mountain, because each broken snow stone is rooted hundreds of feet underneath, but if it is only aimed at the thorns on the Lost Mountain,
He does not need to draw totems or stay at the entrance of the road. He only needs to concentrate and recite a few spells. After all, he is a wizard under the clouds and can control witchcraft very freely. "
Reggie nodded, and then asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Grand Bachelor, you know a lot about witchcraft, and you are always very excited every time I talk about witchcraft."
Batchelor smiled and said: "Every piece of knowledge excites me. Doranor was once my friend. I feel very gratified to see that he can serve the lord."
Well, this old guy successfully brushed off the problem.
Reggie followed Batchelor to the hospital. Seeing Reggie appear, Doranor immediately knelt down on his knees and saluted: "My master."
Reggie quickly helped Doranor up and said: "Kneeling is reserved for the gods. Don't kneel to anyone in the future. In addition, I am not your master. You are already free and do not need any master in the future."
."
Doranor shook his head and said: "Are you going to abandon me, Master?"
Reggie looked at Doranor helplessly, while Batchelor said from the side: "This old guy has been a slave for forty years. He doesn't know how to survive without a master. Please stop being harsh on him."
Already."
"I must be strict with him. Even if he can live one more day, he must make this day meaningful." Reggie took out a gold coin and said to Doranor: "This is your reward, accept it.
"
"I don't need any reward, my master."
Reggie said: "Since you agreed to become a citizen of Broken Snow City, please call me lord and don't call me master anymore. This is the reward you deserve. From today on, you don't have to do anything free for anyone."
matter."
"Master, I..."
"Don't call me master again, do you hear me clearly?"
"As you command, Lord, Lord." The old wizard gingerly accepted Reggie's gold coins. Looking at the nervous Doranor, Reggie couldn't help but laugh: "You accepted my gold coins without asking.
Ask me what I want you to do?”
"I dare not accept your gold coins," Doranor took out the gold coins again, "I can do anything you ask me to do."
Reggie quickly stuffed the gold coins into Dolanor's clothes and warned: "Next time someone asks you to do something, be sure to ask clearly before accepting the money. I wanted you to accompany me to the Mountain of the Lost, but now you regret it.
It’s too late.”
"As you command, Lord Lord, I have no regrets." Doranor answered unusually calmly.
Reggie said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid? There are mountain monsters there."
Doranor shook his head, his expression remained unchanged even after hearing the word mountain demon.
Reggie was surprised by Dolanor's reaction. Batchelor whispered in his ear: "Sir, you still don't understand the slave's thinking. As long as it's a place you are willing to go, it is not dangerous in his opinion."
"I will change his thinking in the future. Okay, it's almost time for us to pack our bags."
Dolanor still didn't ask any more questions. He just asked for some dry food from the guards, and then followed Reggie on the road while waiting for the wizard's backpack.
But Imma was not as talkative as Doranor. She grabbed Reggie's arm and asked: "Why do you want to go to the Mountain of the Lost?"
Reggie was startled and said: "You are so brave. Don't you need to call me Master Tutor? Aren't you afraid of my whip?"
Imma held Reggie's arm tightly, shook her head and said, "Don't change the subject. Please explain clearly why you want to go to the Mountain of the Lost?"
Reggie licked his lips and said, "I'm going to... treat the mountain demon."
"Why do you want to treat the mountain demon? Are you crazy?"
Reggie was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've been crazy many times, right, but every time it proves that I'm right, doesn't it?"
Imma lowered her head, buried her head in Reggie's arms, and hugged Reggie hard for a while.
"It is my duty to treat patients, you should send me there."
"Okay, I'll send you there." Reggie answered simply.
Imma shook and punched Reggie hard. She cried, "But you know I'm scared. I'm sorry, I'm really scared."
"No need to apologize, it's nothing wrong to be afraid," Reggie wiped away Imma's tears and said with a smile, "Prepare two syringes for me. They don't need the best ones. It's hard for me to bring them back anyway.
Prepare me a twenty-day supply of penicillin powder and some disinfectant supplies."
"Do you want to stay in the mountain for twenty days?" Imma wiped away her tears and said, "That's not possible, I want to go with you!"
"Of course I won't stay that long," Reggie said with a smile, "It's just that the mountain demon king has lived for thousands of years. His body must be very special. He may need a larger dose. Trust me, I will be back within three days."
."
After preparing everything, Jiawen wanted to follow Reggie up the mountain, but Reggie rejected his request.
"Leave the affairs in the city to the Grand Master, and leave all the affairs outside the city to you. I have received some news that the country of Bayer is not at peace, and the Golden Light City is not at peace either. During my absence, you must ensure that Sui Xue
The safety of the city.”
Jiawen obeyed Reggie's order, and Erwin stepped forward and said: "At least let me go with you!"
Reggie was startled and said with a look of astonishment: "Of course you have to go with me. You should have gone with me. Do you want me to go up the mountain with only an old wizard? How can I have the pomp of a lord like this?"
