CHAPTER 726: NO WONDER THE LITTLE PRINCESS OF MOONLIGHT WANTS TO PLAY WITH YOU!

The main entrance of the Mage Tower stood wide open, welcoming the esteemed teacher and his guests inside. Garrett walked alongside, occasionally glancing at his teacher’s expression, feeling a sense of dread:

Teacher, please don’t be angry!

I’m really not into necromancy—ah, no, I mean to say, I’m not studying necromancy... I just used it to make a 3D model...

Who’s that person beside the teacher, stirring up trouble right away!

He silently cursed, not daring to show any expression. However, the blond man glanced at him twice, then suddenly grinned:

"Kid, what bad things are you thinking about me?"

Garrett: !!!

I remember the [Endless Ink Pen] is immune to mental spells!

No, wait, it’s immune to mental control spells, not detection spells. And that guy might just be guessing...

Garrett’s mind raced, but he maintained a slight smile. He drew upon the calm demeanor he had learned during his residency when being questioned by the head director, despite feeling extremely nervous, and looked directly at the other person, showing no change in expression. Just as he was about to speak, the Lord of Thunder suddenly coughed:

"Don’t throw around your [Detect Lie] spell carelessly!"

Garrett: ???

These days, people even chat while throwing detection spells around?

He quickly collected his thoughts, stopping his wild imagination. The arrival of the legendary mage caused everyone in the Mage Tower to come out and pay their respects. The Lord of Thunder gave them a casual glance, then dismissed them, sitting down in the lounge with the blond man, and casually asked:

"What have you been studying lately?"

"I’ve already mastered the [Sanctuary] spell, and I’m currently dissecting the [Arcane Eye]..."

Even without the threat of [Detect Lie], Garrett answered honestly.

When he had just returned, his teacher had given him a list of fifteen or sixteen spells to master, some needing to be cast instantly. Fortunately, the teacher had not specified the order of learning, so his current progress should satisfy the teacher, right?

"And what were you studying just now?"

The blond man asked with interest. Garrett glanced at him again: judging by his physique, this guest looked more like a high-ranking warrior, with bulging chest and arm muscles almost bursting through his clothes;

From his attire, he wore a traditional mage robe, the kind that reached the ankles and would only be worn by spellcasters. The cuffs and hem of the purple robe were adorned with large patches of pearls and small gems, looking exceptionally luxurious.

The blond man leaned lazily against the back of the chair, crossing his legs. His hand reached to the hem of his robe, plucked off a gem, and casually threw it into his mouth:

"Crunch!"

Garrett froze. A gem! That was a gem! Biting into it like that, your teeth might not be as hard as the gem!

And your esophagus!

Your stomach!

Your intestines!

Are you sure you can really handle the shards of a gem?

Ah... no...

If he can chew gems like that, he must not be human, right?

Starting from the trait of "eating gems," thinking about his teacher’s circle of friends, and considering high-level intelligent creatures that can transform into human form, this one must be a dragon, right? 𝘳₳ℕȫΒĘś

Which dragon race is not the point. No, no, that’s not the important thing. The important thing is, what’s his relationship with Cirella?!

Garrett composed himself and respectfully answered:

"A few days ago, a severe case of scoliosis was brought to me. It was a child, and I hope to cure him, so I’m researching treatment options."

He displayed a holographic projection, showing the image of the child with uneven shoulders and a hunched chest that he had seen at Mrs. Alva’s place. As soon as the projection appeared, the blond man’s eyes fixed on it, examining it closely:

"Can this be treated?"

The hologram peeled away layer by layer, from the skin to the muscles, and then to the bones. Garrett pointed at the twisted spine, explaining:

"Maybe it can be treated. Maybe, with my abilities, it can’t be treated yet. With such severe deformity, the condition of the spinal cord and internal organs is unpredictable. I just want to research it first..."

The blond man fell silent for a moment. He put down his crossed legs, squinting his eyes, carefully observing Garrett from top to bottom. After staring at Garrett for a while, he finally asked:

"How would you treat it?"

"If it’s the bones, then osteotomy, elongation, and magic-induced growth to make them grow into the correct shape," Garrett replied promptly. He guided the [Silent Phantom] to continuously change, revealing the details of the spine:

"Each bone deforms when it grows like this. For instance, this bone should be flat, but it has grown into a triangular shape, so it needs to be grown back to its original shape;"

Pointing to another bone:

"This one has been compressed and bulged outward. It needs to be shaved down with bone pliers or magic, piece by piece, aligning and straightening it, possibly even rotating it back to its original position."

The blond man’s eyes grew more and more amazed. He blurted out:

"Then what about the muscles and ligaments attached to the bones?"

"They have to be calculated for stress in advance." Garrett shook his head:

"After fixing the bones, we make a corrective device—a kind of frame to fit around the patient’s torso, forcing him to maintain the correct posture. Then, we wait for the muscles and ligaments to slowly stretch. Over a year or two, they will grow correctly."

Compared to these, the spinal cord, nerves, and internal organs were even more troublesome and required extra patience and meticulous handling.

The blond man stared intently at the [Silent Phantom], as if trying to bore a hole through the hologram. After a long time, he sighed deeply and enthusiastically extended his hand to Garrett:

"You, little mage, are interesting! Nice to meet you. I’m Diamond Perrysmartin Skylate, Gold Dragon, very pleased to meet you."

So, he really was a dragon.

And a Gold Dragon.

No wonder you munch on gems like they’re sunflower seeds—do you usually snack on these gems?

—If rubies can be eaten, can pure alumina be eaten? If not, if someone pointed out artificial ruby skills, would you eat artificial gems? And pearls, would you eat cultured pearls, or would you dislike them for getting stuck in your teeth?

Garrett’s mind wandered aimlessly as he extended his hand to shake:

"Garrett Nordmark."

As soon as they shook hands, he tried to withdraw, but the Gold Dragon Diamond didn’t let go. Instead, he tightened his grip and shook Garrett’s hand vigorously up and down:

"I finally understand why the little princess of Moonlight wants to play with you. —Hey, if the little ones at home knew that curing diseases could bring the princess back, they would all come out to travel, wouldn’t they?"

Garrett shuddered on the spot.

Please, no!

I don’t want the Oak Grove Clinic to be filled with Gold Dragons!
