Ball of Nothing

Chapter 78 Indifferen

"Please! We’ll do anything, please come with us to our village..."

Hua Tuo listened to the pleas of the blond-haired moontaur and shook his head.

"Please do not force my hand. The plague is caused by a disruption of the magic flow in Endow Hill. There is nothing I can do about it. Do leave, I have patients under my care."

Layla looked at her sister. Kayla shook her head and sighed. It was difficult to convince the old man as expected. The young human boy looked familiar to Kayla but she couldn’t remember where she’d seen him. They came with the intention to do whatever it took to get the medicine man return to the village with them, including poison testing. However, they never expected the medicine man to turn them away so coldly without a chance. The reason he gave them was also not something that they could justify with the chief. How was it possible for so many moontaurs to die to something as silly as magic deficiency? They were half-beasts with magic flowing in their veins. They would never run out of magic!

"Let’s go," Kayla pulled her sister along who looked like she wanted to protest. However, after seeing the serious look in Kayla’s eyes, she followed obediently. Hua Tuo knew that the girls wouldn’t give up so easily. It was a tactical retreat for now and the Sage God wouldn’t put it past them to try something else.

Whatever. He was ready for anything they threw at him. Besides, Merlin was here too. What can two moontaur girls do against two Sage Gods?

"Are they gone?" Merlin asked. He was circulated his magic in the working chakra branches, trying to identify the extent of damage in Truen’s body.

Hua Tuo shook his head. "For now. They’ll try again."

Merlin clicked his tongue in irritation. "For such a gifted tribe, it’s a pity they’re going to be wiped out soon."

"Do you know what’s causing the disturbance?"

The wizard frowned. "Well, I can guess. However, the source of it isn’t on Endow Hill. The culprit for stealing away that source is within this room though. Maybe you should ask him once he wakes up."

Hua Tuo raised a brow and looked at the elf.

"No, not him. The other one. Zeus gave him something really troublesome and even I can’t get to it."

Hua Tuo sighed, feeling tired. Zero was definitely a troublemaker. If only he knew what he was signing up for when Buddha told him about his new students.

"I should have requested for more than 5,000 evil-warding lotuses."

Merlin chuckled. "You should have asked him to give you a mini golden pagoda."

Hua Tuo collapsed onto the ground and shook his head. "Are they really that troublesome?"

The wizard didn’t stop working. He was now running his hands over Truen’s chest with a green glow coming from his hands. Beads of perspiration could be seen on his forehead. While fixing broken chakra channels weren’t something difficult, it required a huge amount of energy and that was something Merlin struggled with. Unfortunately, nobody else was as capable as him when it came to fine magic control. There were millions of branches and fixing every single one of these branches wasn’t something even an archmage could do.

"From what I heard, neither of them are normal. The child there has no common sense because he wasn’t human. This elf here was a sinner who’d been given a second chance. He’s dead set on sacrificing himself for the child there. They have no idea how to be humans is all I can say."

Hua Tuo groaned. "I should have asked for his magic circlet..."

Merlin laughed. "I don’t think he would lend it to you, much less give it to you."

Hua Tuo sighed. "This old man can only blame his luck now. Who asked me to be friends with such a cunning person? No wonder everybody wants Buddha’s face... he’s a first-class conman!"

Merlin could only agree. So many Sage Gods have fallen prey to that innocent looking face. It was the face that could make one feel as if there was no malice or ill-intentions. It was the face that could make anyone trust him easily and they learnt from their mistakes. Buddha was the scariest Sage God in existence. Never anger Buddha, he will stab you from the front with the face that can speak of righteousness.

Back in heaven, Buddha sneezed. Someone was definitely talking behind his back. Sadly, he couldn’t figure out who. He only hoped that Merlin and Hua Tuo were getting along.
