After returning to the backstage from the chaotic press conference, the King of Knights relaxed his muscles and was about to return to his office. But when he was walking in the corridor, a quarrel in the distance attracted his attention.
force.
"Why not!? He has used this facility before!" A young man's voice echoed in the corridor, quite loud.
"That was only given to him after following the correct procedures and with the approval of his superiors. Now that he has not received approval, of course he cannot enter the cryo-sleep chamber." The answer was in an old-fashioned voice, which made people confused.
Want to sleep.
"But he is dying!" the young man's voice shouted angrily: "This is a matter of life and death, you must be accommodating for once!"
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. The Knights have strict rules and regulations that must be abided by. If you can't even abide by the rules, how can you talk about organization and discipline?"
"What happened here?" The King of Knights walked in the direction of the noise and asked in a raised voice before he even got close.
"Long live your Majesty!" The two knights present hurriedly knelt down and saluted King Arthur the moment they saw him.
"Everyone, get up." The King of Knights also took the opportunity to quickly look at the people present.
The gatekeeper is a middle-aged Silver Knight, a kind of old-fashioned bureaucrat;
The person who was arguing with the Silver Knight just now was a young Black Iron Knight, who looked about twenty years old, a little shabby, and seemed to have just returned from a fierce combat mission. He had multiple wounds and tatters on his body.
His armor was still stained with blood;
What concerned King Arthur the most was the stone statue next to the young black iron knight. It was obviously a stone statue made of petrified human beings, and it was originally supposed to be a teenage boy. The boy was wearing slightly fancy civilian clothes, and he was
The shorts and shorts he was wearing looked a bit like a civilian.
"What's your name?" the King of Knights asked the black iron knight.
"My name is Jefferson, Black Iron Knight Jefferson." The young Black Iron Knight said.
"Then, Jefferson, explain what is going on." King Arthur continued to ask without emotion: "Why did you bring a petrified civilian to the restricted area of the Eastern Sky Knights and contradict your superiors?"
?"
"No, Your Majesty!" Jefferson hurriedly explained: "This kid... Daniel is a black iron knight affiliated with the Eastern Sky Knights! He drank dragon's blood during today's battle and became like this.
What a look!"
"Oh, dragon blood?" The King of Knights took another look at the stone statue: "Drinking dragon blood will make him hopeless. His whole body has been petrified, his internal organs have stopped moving and he is completely brain dead. You come back with a corpse,
Is it for a good burial?"
King Arthur turned to look at the door number next to him. This room is neither a mortuary nor a laboratory for preserving corpses. This is a cryo-sleep laboratory that is still under development for knights to quickly recover.
"Hmph. Interesting." The King of Knights snorted: "So are you going to put a petrified dead body into a cryogenic sleep chamber to preserve it? Is there any point in doing so?"
Jefferson quickly reached out to the chest of Daniel's stone statue: "Your Majesty, this child is not dead yet. Touch it and see, he still has a weak heartbeat!"
"Really?" King Arthur stretched out his hand angrily.
Sure enough, there was a faint vibration coming from the stone statue. The heartbeat was extremely weak, as if it would stop at any time - the life of the young man sealed in this stone statue was like a candle in the wind, and it would not be enough to disappear at any time.
Strange.
"Why is this happening? It should be impossible for humans to survive after drinking dragon blood?"
"I just took him to the medical room for a preliminary diagnosis. The doctor said that besides the magic power of dragon blood, there is something else in his body...the poisonous magic power of the succubus." Jefferson replied: "I
I think Daniel was poisoned by a certain succubus before he drank the dragon's blood, and the interaction between these two deadly magic powers in his body led to the child's current situation."
"Oh?" Although he thought it was unlikely, the King of Knights still snorted in response:
"So, since you don't have a way to recover this child from his petrified state, your only way to save him is to refrigerate him to slow down the necrosis of his body. ------I guessed it right.
Bar?"
Black Iron Knight Jefferson nodded quickly: "Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is!"
"And you...what's your name?" The King of Knights turned his head and glanced at the silver knight.
"Silver Knight Didore." The bureaucrat guarding the door replied respectfully.
"Mr. Didore, you think that this child has not applied for the use of a cryo-sleep chamber in advance and cannot use the cryo-sleep chamber according to regulations, right?"
"That's right, Your Majesty is wise!" The Silver Knight also hurriedly replied: "The rules within the Knights are absolute, and he cannot be allowed in without approval."
"Not even if he is about to die?"
"Not even if he's about to die."
King Arthur chuckled softly: "Okay. You did a good job. It is a good thing to stick to the rules."
The King of Great Britain turned to the Black Iron Knight Jefferson and said: "You have a good idea of sending your companion into a cryo chamber to delay his death. But that is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. Even if you freeze him, he will not be able to survive."
You will die in the end. It is really disrespectful to break the rules of the Knights for a meaningless method."
"But, Your Majesty!..."
"I do know a way to save this child." The King of Knights was about to say it, but then he thought, "Oh, by the way. Merlin has turned into stone now, can't he help him?"
King Arthur pressed the communicator next to his ear: "Mr. Li Daoyuan, can you calculate when Merlin will wake up?"
"Well...according to the speed of his recovery, it will take about half a day." The voice of the crab man came from the headset.
"And this child probably won't be able to wait that long." King Arthur turned and glanced at Daniel's stone statue: "There is no absolute relationship between the petrification of the flesh and the temperature. Even if it is sent to the cryogenic chamber, there is no guarantee that it can delay the time."
"Isn't there no other way?" Jefferson said desperately.
"Huh, not necessarily." The King of Knights smiled confidently: "Aside from Merlin, the person in Great Britain who has the most research on removing petrification is my sister Vivian. After all, her husband has been petrified for seven years.
, she has been studying how to remove petrification non-stop for seven years."
"real?!"
"There must be anti-petrification equipment in Vivian's research institute. Even if it can't directly remove the petrification, it can delay the time for us. Those equipment were originally intended for Paramedis, but they are no longer useful now. It's just right.
