Todd was so frightened by Alfonso's strange behavior that he fell back.
The knight propped up his body with both hands, and blood gushed out from his back, moistening the ground beneath him. He walked towards the priest step by step, holding his sword straight, always pointing towards the latter's chest: "I'm sorry.
, Father, I don’t know how you became the ‘Successor of Sutherland’… But I know that now that I am here to help you out, your pain will be less…”
Alfonso's words left Todd baffled.
What is "relief"? What is "less pain"?
A stone hit the knight, and the next second, Karin, who was holding a dagger, cut a deep wound on the knight's wrist like a crazy female cat.
Alfonso, who was in pain, could no longer hold the sword in his hand and dropped it to the ground.
Leslie roared angrily, and stood limping in front of the captain, glaring at the girl who had succeeded in the sneak attack, and the flames in his hands rose again.
The situation suddenly became tense, and the four people who had just been fighting side by side suddenly turned into two groups fighting for life and death.
Stopping the furious Karin with his hands, Todd decided to break the deadlock first: "I don't understand, what reason do you have for calling me the 'successor of Sutherland'?"
Pulling off the strip of cloth from his jacket, he wrapped the cut on the knight's wrist. Looking at the huge wound on his back, the helpless Leslie yelled at Todd in a resentful tone: "Do you still want to deny it?! Ordinary
Alien species, there is only one superpower in the body, very few people or
There may be two related abilities. Only monsters that have come into contact with "Sutherland Relics" will have more than three abilities that are not related to each other! You just used "Perspective", "Speed" and "
"Weakness" are three alien skills that have no connection whatsoever!"
So that’s it!
Sutherland Archaea can indeed allow the body to accept a variety of abilities, and this judgment sounds reasonable.
Todd also understood at this time the reason why the two of them looked strange and stood idly by when he and Karin faced the monster just now.
But now he had more questions.
Looking at the knight whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, and remembering the scene where he had pointed his sword at him just now, Todd sighed slightly and decided to put aside the problems in his mind and try to save the other person's life first.
He took out alcohol, needle and thread, medicinal powder and other items from his pocket. Just as he was about to walk towards Alfonso, he saw Leslie raising the slingshot and aiming at him.
"Sutherland monsters! Stay away from us!"
Even the best-tempered person can't stand the constant screaming of monsters.
"If you want to watch him die, I can turn around and leave now." As Todd said this, he showed Leslie the items in his hand one by one.
Karin quietly pulled on Todd's clothes: "No one in the church is a good person! Don't save him, he just wanted to kill you!"
The latter shook his head towards the girl, indicating that he could not do nothing to save her.
The flame boy bit his lip and glanced at Alfonso's back. The wound that was still bleeding made him hesitate and hesitate about Todd's proposal.
At this moment, the knight opened his eyes and whispered: "Let him come over."
Leslie put down the slingshot and moved out of the way.
Todd squatted next to Alfonso and began to check the wounds on the other man's back. His armor cracked with a huge hole. Under the metal armor, a parasite with an iron gray color and a hard shell covered the knight's entire body.
The back. Looking from above, it looks like a layer of gray "hard armor" is put on the bottom of the armor.
Next, after checking his whole body, Todd discovered that the parasites he saw on his back were just the tip of the iceberg. There were actually two similar parasites on the knight's body, and these two parasites were so large.
, covering almost every corner of Alfonso's body. The main part of one parasite is on the back, and the main part of the other is on the chest. These two "looking" similar parasites "connect" through tentacles and joints.
Holding them together, they formed a complete "insect breastplate".
After slowly taking off Alfonso's armor, Todd made a new discovery. It turned out that the parasite on the back of the knight extended out from the knight's head and upper limbs, covering the entire head, back of the neck, arms, and hands.
The parasite on his chest extends from his legs and feet to cover his vulva, thighs, calves and soles.
These limbs are composed of sections of bone that are as hard as steel. When you tap them with your fingers, they can even emit a metallic echo, which shows how strong they are.
These arthropods can not only provide knights with protection comparable to armor, but are also light and retractable, increasing the host's strength, agility and jumping ability in disguise.
Looking at the "parasite armor" in front of him, Todd suddenly remembered the "mechanical exoskeleton" he had seen in science fiction novels in his previous life. The two were really similar, but one was a machine and the other was a machine.
Insect body.
"When are you going to see it? Why don't you hurry up and save the boss?!" Leslie's anxious shouting made Todd wake up.
I was just looking at parasites to satisfy my curiosity and forgot about the serious business of saving people.
The attack of the giant ax broke the joints of the parasite on the back and injured the ribs on Alfonso's back. Fortunately, due to the protection of the parasite armor, the knight's bones were only slightly displaced, but they were just some scary-looking flesh wounds.
.
After disinfecting the wound on the knight's back with alcohol, he burned the copper needle he carried with him in Leslie's hand for a while. Todd sutured the wound stitch by stitch and covered it with medicated powder to help speed up its healing.
Compared with human wounds, the broken limbs of parasites are more troublesome.
In the end, we decided to use bone grafting to connect the cracks in the joints and limbs, then sprinkle with medicinal powder, and finally wrap them with cloth strips. This was all that could be done.
After completing the above treatment procedures, Todd was sweating profusely. He is a researcher, not a doctor. He only has a general understanding of the surgical procedures of suturing wounds and setting bones. In the final analysis, the techniques are really unfamiliar and the effect is doubtful.
.
But what made him a little proud was that at least Leslie and Karin were stunned by his move.
Todd packed up the medicine bottles and materials, looked at Alfonso, whose face was gradually turning a little red, and said angrily: "In addition to that time in the square, you already owe me two favors. About you wanting to kill me.
Please tell me about it, I need an explanation."
The knight, who signaled Leslie to help him sit up, took off his armor but still wore an iron mask, looked into Todd's eyes, and the first words he spoke made the latter's veins jump: "'Sutherland's
Relics are never gifts from sages, they are curses from demons..."
