Carter was only wearing underwear at this time, and all the blood vessels in his body were protruding and bulging, and there were even cracks on the surface of the skin in some places. Ruiwen was constantly using magic to repair these cracks.

Carter's expression with eyes closed is occasionally in a daze, mostly in pain.

He would cough twice from time to time, and red and white blood foam would pour out of the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Ruiwen heard footsteps coming from the door, and she did not raise her head. She just thought that the warlock apprentice Alexander had finished processing some of the children's bodies and came back to transport the other parts of the bodies.

"How about it, Carter, can he insist on going there?" The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally disappeared beside her, and then a man asked.

"Huh? Dick, why are you here?"

"I... just came over to take a look. By the way, why are you the only warlock here? You can't handle so many children by yourself."

Ruiwen increased the intensity of the mana output, and saw a green halo flashing across Carter's body, and the wound slowly healed. She temporarily stopped putting down her hands that were casting spells, and gently wiped the sweat between her brows.

"The situation is very bad. Since Trial of the Grasses last night, all the other children died within an hour.

"Fortunately, Carter himself is in good health. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive.

"You have also experienced Trial of the Grasses. You should know that Carter's feelings at this time are like countless poisonous snakes and scorpions biting inside the body. The muscles seem to be dissolved and then forcibly squeezed. The limbs are in severe pain and cannot move.

"This Trial of the Grasses drug will also cause his nervous system to become disordered, causing hallucinations and making it difficult to stay awake.

"He was only awake for a moment just now, and now he is confused again.

"As for why I am the only one, the reason is very simple. The warlock was unable to guide Trial of the Grasses in the first hour, and except for Carter, all the other children basically died within an hour."

After hearing this, Dick felt very uncomfortable for no reason. When he came to this world, he knew that human life was worthless, and it was understandable that the warlocks or Witcher Order would do what Trial of the Grasses did to ordinary people.

After all, the lives of the horses and cows in the previous life were not valuable, but...

He always felt that those warlocks should do more for this, even a little bit.

"I don't understand." Dick responded in a low tone.

"What?"

"I said I didn't understand. The survival rate of our School of the Lynx Trial of the Grasses is so low, why do we need to start it again?"

"This is what Master means. As the person in charge of School of the Lynx, he has the right to open Trial of the Grasses."

"Where is Master now?"

"I don't know, he hasn't been back since he went out in the morning."

Dick snorted coldly, then looked at Carter who was still twitching on the iron platform. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is there no way to improve his survival rate?"

"Yes, there is. He is still transitioning between an ordinary person and a demon hunter. Logically speaking, he is still an ordinary person. If a magical medicine is applied to his body at this time, it may improve his survival rate."

"Elixir?" Dick murmured.

At this time, Carter suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Dick with blurred eyes, and said weakly, "Ms. Ruiwen, I seem to be hallucinating again. I saw Master Dick."

"I'm here, Carter." Dick replied in a deep voice.

Carter stared at Dick in disbelief for a long time, and then burst into tears. "Master Dick, Master said before that I can help you when I become a demon hunter, but now, I am going to die, I'm sorry!"

"Don't say you're sorry. You've never sorry to anyone. Keep at it."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked directly out of the basement. At the top of the stairs, he met Alexander who had just finished handling the body and was returning with a trolley.

Seeing Dick's frosty face, Alexander didn't want to get into trouble, so he hurriedly found a way out.

Soon, Dick returned to the main castle, and Master, Beier and several warlocks were chatting and laughing.

"Dick, why are you here again?" Beier said with a smile.

Dick did not answer, but came directly to Master, pointed at him and asked:

"Now there is only one little demon hunter left in our School of the Lynx transformation. Why don't you stay by Carter's side? Is this what you are doing to become the leader of School of the Lynx?"

"Dick, what are you talking about?" Master said with a straight face and raised eyebrows, "Do you know who is in charge of School of the Lynx now? How dare you speak to me in this tone?

"Are you so disrespectful to the master who raised you and taught you your skills?"

"Respect?"

Dick sneered, "Which part of your body deserves my respect?"

"Huh?" Beier shouted quickly, "Master, Dick, no matter what conflicts you have, you can discuss them slowly. After all, you are master and disciple. Don't let your feelings get divided because of temporary conflicts."

The two of them stopped talking after hearing this, but the old warlock Aode on the side spoke, "Dick, you came in such a hurry, not just because you want to question Master, right?"

"Not bad." Dick dug into his pocket and took out a Dragon Tear Gem, "I want to ask you to quickly turn this Dragon Tear Gem into a Dragon Tear Potion that can improve the physical fitness of ordinary people."

Aode took the gem and exclaimed:

"You actually have Dragon Tear Gem. By the way, we also have three Witcher Order pills. This Dragon Tear Gem is really a good thing, but it is only effective for ordinary people. We have never been willing to use those pills.

"By the way, what do you want to make Dragon Tear Elixir?"

"Give it to Carter. I don't think he can survive Trial of the Grasses."

"Dick, in the process of transforming into a demon hunter, many children cannot survive Trial of the Grasses every time, but we will not consume Dragon Tear Gem for this, because this thing is really precious.

"Every year whenever a war breaks out on this continent, there will always be homeless orphans, and there will be a constant stream of children who want to transform into demon hunters and change their lives.

"In addition, even if you consume Dragon Tear Gem, it will only slightly increase his probability of survival. You are losing more than you gain!" Warlock Ali on the side reminded.

"... Other people have nothing to do with me, but this child Carter, I... want to save him, at least this time I want to save him."

"Be kind as a woman, those children are just consumables. Dragon Tear Gem The most valuable thing for a demon hunter is making weapons." Master on the side sneered.

"That's better than tricking Carter into repaying my kindness and then letting go. If your purpose was just to disgust me, congratulations, this time - you did it." Dick responded coldly.

"You!" Master was about to scold something, but Beier on the side quickly stopped him. "Forget it."

He looked at Aode again. "Hurry up and help make Dragon Tear Elixir. This Dragon Tear Gem should be able to make 4 bottles of medicine. If you hurry up, give it to the child named Carter. Maybe he can be saved."

"I heard someone say before that it takes 3 days to make this Dragon Tear Elixir, so you guys..." Dick said hesitantly.

"Don't underestimate us two old men. We are noble warlocks. Although we are not very advanced in other attainments except Alchemy, we can also use spells to speed up the preparation time of the potion. Just wait for two hours."

Then, Aode looked at Master: "You are so old, don't think that Dick has offended your face. A young man can be called a young man if he is not arrogant!"

At the end, he quickly muttered, "You hypocritical gentleman, I've been unhappy with you for a long time! Why don't you let your apprentice beat you to death!"

Hearing this, the ugly look on Master's face became even more ugly. He was about to refute, but saw that Aode's usual staggering pace became fast, and he quickly turned around and trotted into the nearby laboratory with the other warlocks.
