Chapter 86: Just Listening to You Explain This Process

"You are protected by a certain light force."

Compared to Lin Lin, Caligo and Bru seemed more curious about the so-called "protection of the light force."

A series of potions in various colors was placed in front of Lin Lin.

Lin Lin hesitated as she looked at those things and confirmed with the two potion enthusiasts, "You really want me to die, don’t you?"

"Don’t worry," Caligo said firmly, "none of them are deadly."

"So you really did release poison!" Lin Lin shouted.

Lin Lin quickly splashed the potion on Bru.

A layer of purple smoke rose from Bru, and his skin turned slightly red.

Bru sighed and wiped his face and neck with a wet towel, saying, "It was Caligo who made you angry, so why splash me?"

Lin Lin replied, "Because he looks like he would die on his own without poison."

"That’s right, very objective," Caligo clapped his hands, laughing with a squeaky voice, as his red ponytail shook.

There are very few ways to be blessed by the power of light; most blessings come from priests of the God of Light for injured people, with a few rare blessings from angels, and also the legendary blessings from the God of Light.

After Lin Lin acted so decisively in splashing the potion, Caligo and Bru firmly ruled out the last two possibilities; Lin Lin didn’t seem like the type who would be favored by the gods just for being pure and good.

She seemed to fit the Dark Camp’s way of thinking about revenge.

"Maybe you met a human priest who thought you needed help while you were out?" Caligo didn’t really believe this guess, as most priests were very busy; their own work was tiring enough, so they rarely had the energy to randomly bless someone lucky.

Moreover, the bright power that protects Lin Lin is not a usual blessing. After all, what kind of excellent priest can resist such a strong poison?

Although I am very happy for Lin Lin, I still feel that a priest’s ability is being wasted.

Caligo and Bru exchanged complicated glances.

Lin Lin could not understand the complex feelings of the two; she only felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"No one in the Demon King Castle dares to look at me like that."

Lin Lin reminded them.

The two quickly looked down.

–

Lin Lin was joking. She thought that even though she had some status in the Demon King Castle, it was not to the terrifying extent.

Unfortunately, Caligo and Bru did not have a sense of humor about this and took her words seriously, looking at her as if to say she would be the boss in the future.

Afterward, Lin Lin’s explanation seemed quite weak, "Um, I’m just an office worker, not scary at all."

Caligo said, "There are no purely office workers in Demon King Castle."

Lin Lin thought about the people in Demon King Castle and found it hard to argue; they do not keep idle people, not even the monsters in the nearby forest would spare those who illegally intrude.

The powerful staff of Demon King Castle protected them while Bru changed Caligo’s bones.

Lin Lin always thought there was some special magic in the whole process, but upon reflection, Bru was not a mage, so it should be a very simple and straightforward method.

It was indeed very simple. Cut open the leg, take out the old bone, and put in the new bone.

It was so clear that it made Lin Lin’s head spin.

Bru asked Lin Lin, "Is something unclear?"

Lin Lin replied, "Just hearing you explain this process makes me feel like I have already died once."

It’s too scary.

A person whose body has changed due to illness cannot use anesthesia, to avoid their consciousness being too weak and their mind being controlled by the illness. This idea is the same as Caligo not sleeping.

In the simple operating room, bright lights shone down from above, and Caligo lay on a narrow operating table. Sharp instruments and sewing needles were placed on a nearby shelf.

Even though Lin Lin had never taken part in any surgery, she knew that this environment was not suitable for completing an operation.

"What will we do if Caligo bleeds?" There is no place here to give him a blood transfusion.

"Then just clean him up," Bru said in a rough voice, handing Lin Lin a towel, suggesting that this small task should be left to her.

Lin Lin looked even more dazed than before.

Is there something wrong with her mind? Is her thinking not right?

Two objects that glowed faintly blue, used to replace the bones in his lower leg, were placed there; Lin Lin could not tell what they were made of.

Caligo took off his long pants and changed into loose shorts that were just above his knees, showing his clean and straight young legs.

When Bru picked up the knife, Caligo was already lying on the bed, the red-haired boy looking calmly at the ceiling; the most anxious of the three was Lin Lin, who felt helpless.

"What can I do? What should I do?" Lin Lin asked.

Bru’s attention was fully on how to make the cut; he did not answer Lin Lin, but Caligo focused a bit and reached out his hand to Lin Lin, "Then hold my hand."

Lin Lin took his hand; Caligo’s hands were icy, and Lin Lin realized his condition was worse than he showed.

"Your hand is very warm," Caligo smiled at her.

Lin Lin felt a bit distracted; she heard the sound of the knife cutting skin, and Caligo suddenly tightened his grip on both her hands, causing her pain.

Lin Lin wanted to look at Caligo’s legs, but she was drawn to his words and responded to him.

"Yes," Lin Lin said, "my body temperature is a little higher than most people."

Lin Lin began to try using the Light Spell on Caligo. Even though she was still not very good at praising the God of Light, she softly recited all the healing spells she knew.

If these Light Spells worked, then the places where Caligo was touched would glow with light.

Nothing happened.

Lin Lin softly recited the blessing spell for the God of Light, taught to her by Sharon.

Still, nothing happened.

Lin Lin started to dislike the God of Light.

Caligo should have realized he was holding Lin Lin too tightly; he relaxed his grip a little, then he couldn’t help but bite his lips, making his pale lips look a bit healthier.

"What about the leg bone?" Bru asked.

Lin Lin let go of Caligo’s hands and went to get the new leg bones for Bru.

During this process, Lin Lin saw Caligo’s legs were cut open.

Lin Lin almost forgot that Caligo was the one who made a deal with the devil, and his body had been changed in very unusual ways. He lived in a very unique way.

Caligo’s legs were cut open as easily as slicing bread, with a small amount of blood oozing out.

Bru didn’t care about that; instead, he forcefully "snapped" the new leg bones into place, like connecting a hidden latch, and with a click, it was done. Bru began to sew with needle and thread.

Lin Lin indeed used the towel that Bru gave her to clean the blood from Caligo’s legs.

"It’s done, give it a try?" Bru wiped his hands clean.

After Caligo jumped off the operating table, Lin Lin felt her mind shrink in that instant.

Is this all happening a bit too fast?

Is there really no recovery time at all?

Caligo jumped twice on the ground, and besides the uneven stitches, it was hard to tell that just a few minutes ago, he could not walk on his legs.

Almost as soon as he finished showing his legs, Lin Lin reached out and bent down to touch his wound.

Caligo, "…It hurts."

Oh, it seems he still has the ability to feel pain like a human.

Bru sincerely thought that the accountant in Demon King Castle might also be in charge of executions.

But he did not dare to ask; he was afraid Lin Lin would hit his leg too.
