Quadruple split.

Chapter 2440 Interlude: Dusk

"That's what it is."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Mo Tan sat at the dining table that had been bustling with activity earlier. He bowed his head to Birger and Klaus, who had never interrupted him, and said in a deep voice, "I... I'm sorry..."

"Brother Mo, you don't have to do this."

Klaus, looking pale, shook his head and looked down at the pile of information in front of him that the Paw Patrol had brought out from the Seventh Research Base. He stretched out his slightly trembling hands and tried to organize these things. He said in a tone as calm as possible: "You just did what you were supposed to do. I believe that if Ms. Pesci were still here, she would definitely agree with your final performance. By the way, isn't your friend..."

Mo Tan turned his head and looked at the wreckage of the ship that was once called 'Cordova'. It was just hastily piled together because Ji Xiaoge was not in the mood to sort it out. He shook his head and said, "His situation is quite special. You... just think of him as an alien like us. Although the loss is not small, he is still alive."

"That would be perfect."

Klaus nodded, then looked at the old man lying on a blanket not far away, surrounded by Ji Xiaoge, Gu Xiaole, Yaya and Lu Jiang, and said hesitantly: "Then Mr. Jadka..."

"He's not doing well."

Mo Tan did not hide anything and said frankly: "As I said just now, it was Lao Jia's credit that we were able to rush out at the last moment, but the opponent was a legend after all. In order to protect everyone, he almost gave his all."

Klaus nodded slightly and said seriously, "Because we often encounter emergencies, our [Archaeologists Association] has medical teams with special allowances in many places. Mr. Jadeka Diesel was injured while completing our commission. Our association is obliged to provide him with all necessary medical assistance in this regard. This is an obligation we should fulfill and has nothing to do with Mr. Diesel's identity. Please don't refuse, Brother Mo."

"I'm sorry, but we have to decline."

At this moment, Ji Xiaoge, who had just been listening to Lu Jiang's analysis beside Jadeka like a little pigeon pecking at rice, fluttered down from the sky, sat next to Mo Tan and explained to Klaus: "It's not that we are pretentious, nor that we don't trust you, but Lao Jia's condition is very bad, so we decided to send him to Tianzhu Mountain for treatment."

Klaus' eyes widened immediately and he exclaimed, "Tianzhu Mountain? Are you talking about the Tianzhu Mountain that is only open to the public and has such a long history that even the elves don't know its true appearance?"

"It's the Tianzhu Mountain."

Ji Xiaoge nodded slightly and continued to explain: "Although Xiaolu, I, and the Cordova group are all from other worlds, we are also half of Tianzhu Mountain's own people. Lao Jia is our friend and he also knows Brother Lujiang and my mentor. It is no problem for him to help with the treatment. So I'm sorry that your kindness will be in vain this time."

Klaus's face turned serious, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Miss Yege, please don't say that. I have just told Brother Mo that although Ms. Pesci... encountered misfortune, it is not the fault of you survivors. On the contrary, you have done a good job of fulfilling her instructions and did not violate the commission until the very end. You also brought out these invaluable materials. It is reasonable for us to thank the [Paw Patrol Adventure Team]."

"You're welcome, Mr. Claus."

Mo Tan said this to the Archaeologist Association Commissioner in front of him, who looked like he had suffered a huge blow but remained decent and sober. He then immediately turned to the winged beauty next to him and asked, "How is Lao Jia doing?"

“The situation is not as bad as it could be, but it is not optimistic either.”

Ji Xiaoge bit her lower lip and said anxiously, "Although Xiaolu was also seriously injured, she still tried her best to check Laojia carefully. The conclusion is that although his life will not be in danger in the short term, there is a huge deficit in his body. The existence of this deficit has greatly reduced the effectiveness of all treatment methods. Lu Jiang tried his best to use life magic once, but it didn't even heal a single fracture."

Upon hearing this, Mo Tan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. You know, although Lu Jiang is a player, and a druid majoring in transfiguration, his level of healing is very high. This can be seen from the fact that he single-handedly helped those Highlanders who were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea to relieve their physical condition, and won the trust of everyone including the team leader Largo. Even if he is not as good as Yu Chen and Shengguang Lao Wang who specialize in recovery in the field of pure healing, among players, Lu Jiang's healing level is still at the T1 level, which is absolutely rare.

Not only that, Lu Jiang's life magic, which in principle can only be used by druids, has very comprehensive effects. Many difficult and complicated problems that priests, shamans and even pharmacists cannot solve can be solved by him. For example, Largo and others were poisoned before. If Lu Jiang was replaced by Yu Chen, although the Dawn Sect's magic is trustworthy and can even stop their diarrhea on the first day, the time it takes for the Dawn magic to completely eliminate the sequelae of the poison will probably be more than three times that of life magic.

Because he is a doctor outside the game, Yu Chen naturally has to discuss healing methods other than divine magic with Xia Lian or everyone in the convent, including pharmacy, alchemy, elemental magic, shamanic secrets, and druid life magic.

Among the many statements that Mo Tan heard from Yu Chen, the most appropriate description of natural magic is that it is more like the subject outside the game called "Traditional Chinese Medicine".

Unlike divine spells that produce immediate results and do not require the caster to have any professional knowledge, druid's life magic in most cases requires the caster to have a certain understanding of the patient's body and to "prescribe the right medicine" based on this understanding. However, unlike the fixed medicines developed by pharmacists, life magic is particularly good at "response" and "resolution".

To give the simplest example, when a patient has acute trauma, skin swelling, mild to moderate fever and other conditions that require cold compresses, Life Magic can be a cool towel; and when a patient has muscle fatigue, pain and other conditions that require hot compresses, Life Magic can be a hot towel.

Let's use another example for comparison. If life magic is a puzzle game that fights against the negative conditions in the patient, then divine magic is like a wrestling match. If the caster is strong, he can use bricks to kill the problem. If the problem is stronger, he can use bricks to kill the person who caused the problem.

Because of this, Yu Chen has always felt very sorry that she could not learn life magic, but she has always been a good girl who knows how to cheer herself up instead of letting negative emotions infect herself and those around her, so she quickly shifted her attention to the zero-threshold pharmacy. Two months ago, under the guidance of Marina, she passed the intermediate pharmacist qualification certificate and is currently preparing to challenge the advanced qualification certification exam.

It can be seen that although the Druid's life magic has its own advantages over divine magic in terms of direct healing effects, if it is only used to check the status of the injured, it is definitely the well-deserved No. 1 in this field.

It was precisely because of this that, when Lu-chan was helpless, several people decided that sending Jadka to Tianzhu Mountain for treatment was the best option. After all, even Lu Wei had played a decisive role in Yaya's treatment before, and although the treatment resources provided by the Archaeologists Association and the Diesel family would definitely not be bad, there was still a lot of uncertainty.

"Lu Jiang will try his best to find a way to help Lao Jia stabilize the situation."

Ji Xiaoge gently held Mo Tan's hand, drawing on the warmth from him that made her feel a little relieved, and said, "Cordova has contacted Femi after returning. Femi will be here to pick up Lao Jia before dark. Xiaolu will be with him. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Mo Tan gently patted the back of the girl's hand, who was far more nervous than himself, and then turned to look at the Highland boy who had been silent since a while ago. Although he seemed to have lost his soul at first, his eyes quickly regained clarity: "Berg, I..."

"Thank you, Brother Mo, Sister Ye Ge."

But Birger suddenly stood up, bowed solemnly to the two, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Of course, there are also Grandpa Jadeka, Sister Yaya, Sister Xiaolu, Sister Xiaole, Mr. Klaus and Brother Turtle. You are the benefactors of [Loya]."

Klaus smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

Before Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge could even open their mouths, they were interrupted by the young Highlander. "I know that you, Brother Mo, accepted our [Loya] commission as an adventurer team, but I think this should be viewed separately from your insistence on completing the mission after encountering a legendary monster. Although I am not a mature and experienced mercenary, I am also very clear that everything you have done is by no means something that can be dismissed as 'part of your job'."

Bilger kept bending at 90 degrees and said seriously, "So in my opinion, you are the benefactors who sacrificed yourself to protect [Loya] from being affected by the monster even though you had already escaped."

"Uh……"

Ji Xiaoge coughed lightly and said softly to the Highland boy in front of him, "If you mean the robot brother who was teleported by me to block the door and accidentally died at the door, he is actually used to this kind of thing. But thank you, Little Bill, thank you for thanking us."

Mo Tan stood up and walked to Birger. After he straightened his body, he patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Your uncle said that if you have a promising future, he will let me tell you that he loves you very much and you are his pride."

Bilger was stunned for a moment, and said confusedly: "But I..."

"Your uncle also said that you can't be a failure, so I think he won't mind even if I tell you directly."

Mo Tan interrupted Bilge with a smile, looking into the boy's clear but still slightly red eyes: "When he left, he didn't seem to have any regrets."

"I know."

Bilge, with a red nose, forced a smile that was not pretty, but not forced. "I think my uncle is very lucky. You all know that the life span of us Highlanders is only forty years at most, and my uncle has done things in the past thirty years that are enough to make the entire [Loya] proud. Ms. Pesci... is his only regret."

Ji Xiaoge, whose eyes were also red, sniffed and said seriously, "They are in love!"

"Ah."

Bilger turned his head and looked at the old site of the Seventh Research Base, which had turned into a shallow pit and even the entrance had disappeared. He quickly wiped away his tears: "So uncle... uncle..."

The next moment, the boy knelt on the ground as if all his strength had been drained away. Although he clenched his teeth and did not utter a single sob, his large tears still wet the blurred and hazy ground in his field of vision.

"Leave him alone for a while."

Mo Tan lowered his head and said this to his online girlfriend who was lying on his chest and crying quietly. Then he nodded to Klaus again, turned and walked towards Lu Jiang and Gu Xiaole, leaving the boy who looked like a wounded cub behind.

On the blanket, the old man's breathing was steady and long, just like a normal wizard of this age, with a pale face, loose muscles and a thin body.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After giving the old man a wry smile, Mo Tan turned his gaze to the tired-looking Lu Jiang and Gu Xiaole beside him: "Xiao Lu and Sister Xiaole have worked hard too."

"nothing."

Lu-chan sighed, hugged her knees a little listlessly and muttered, "I wish I could be more useful."

"That's not the case."

Mo Tan shook his head and brought up the other party's idol to comfort him: "Even if you are as useful as Xinglong, the result will probably not be better than it is now."

Gu Xiaole fanned himself with [Black Hatchling: Divination] and said briskly, "Anyway, Grandpa Jadeka hasn't shown any signs of his body and soul being separated, so his life is definitely not in danger. But to be on the safe side, I won't go with you guys for a while. I'll chase you after my dragon friend named Fimi takes him and the deer away."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said gratefully, "Okay, thank you Sister Xiaole."

"It's just a small matter~"

The beautiful Onmyoji, who was used to seeing the separation of life and death, was not too depressed. She grinned and pointed to a place not far away: "So you two should go over and take a look at that little turtle. You both care about it, so why don't you go over and show your appreciation."

“Who cares about it anymore.”

Mo Tan snorted, and was then pulled hard by Ji Xiaoge. He seemed reluctant to walk towards Wang Badan who was curled up in his shell and pretending to be dead not far away.

"That's great."

Gu Xiaole, on the other hand, looked at the backs of the two people bathing in the sunset, narrowed his eyes slightly, and habitually covered half of his face with the fan in his hand——

"very nice……"
