Chapter 309 Demon Scale Disease
Huachengguo
"Hello, have you seen Collet?" Pamon asked the ranger.
Ranger: "Ke Lai, I just saw her going back to her room."
Paimon was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to find Collet to apologize in person, but now it seems that he can only go to her tomorrow.
...
Early next morning
The traveler and Paimon came outside the house, and Paimon sighed: "Well, I thought about it all night yesterday, but I couldn't figure out what happened to Collet. I wonder if she is in a better mood now... Let's go see her. ."
The two came outside the house and happened to see Tinari.
"It's you. I'm about to go find you."
Paimon asked, "Tinari, why are you here? Where are the Coletans?"
Tinari explained: "I came over to check on Collet. Simply put, she is sick."
"She is sick? How could it be... wait, could it be because of my fault yesterday..." Paimon said blaming himself.
Tinari comforted: "Don't worry, you little guy won't cause such serious consequences. Kelai's illness is an old one. But to be honest, you have only been here for the past few days. Kelai is indeed a little too excited. Ignoring my physical condition.”
"Oh, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, she hasn't seen her friends for a long time."
"Tinari, what exactly is Collet..." Pamon looked at Collet in the room and asked worriedly.
Tinari looked at Kelai who was sleeping soundly and suggested that they talk somewhere else. Kelai needed to be quiet now.
The two followed Tinari to a relatively distant place.
"Actually, it wasn't until Cole told me just now that I realized that you were the honorary knight of Mondstadt. I've also heard about other righteous deeds you and Dao's wife performed in Liyue."
"But I want to make it clear that when I tell you the true situation of Kelai, it has nothing to do with your identity or past experience, but is only based on one reason."
"To be honest, I personally don't recommend that Kelai tell you about his past situations and experiences. But Kelai told me that you treat her as a friend and treat her sincerely, so she should treat you in the same way."
Paimon asked anxiously: "Tinari, what disease does Collet have? You just said it was an old disease. Has she been ill for a long time?"
Tinari nodded and explained: "Actually, Kelai has been suffering from a disease called Demon Scale since he was a child."
Pamon frowned as he listened to Tinari's description. He had never heard of it at all.
Tinari continued: "This is a disease unique to Sumeru. It is named because gray-black scaly tissue appears on the patient's body. At first, the patient only feels some numbness in the area where the skin has changed, but as the disease progresses, As it progresses, there will be loss of strength, occasional loss of feeling in the fingers and toes, and eventually, the patient will lose control of his or her body and become completely incapacitated."
[Paimon: Is this disease contagious? 】
[Tinari: That’s not true. As far as I know, most of the people suffering from magic scale disease are us Sumeru people]
[Xiang Ling: Didn’t I go to Xumi not long ago? I have nothing to do now. It’s delicious to eat.]
[Xingqiu: Ke Lai is so pitiful, and the doctor is really nothing]
[Paimon: If I see him, I will definitely give him an unpleasant nickname]
[Kaia: This is very spiritual]
[Paimon: A doctor cannot be considered a human being]
[Amber: Agree]
...
"Wait a minute, could it be that Kelai felt a little fussy before, but it was actually because of..." Paimon also understood the reason at this moment.
Tinari nodded and said: "Yes, it is the effect of the magic scale disease. So I asked her not to take things as much as possible to avoid hurting herself."
The traveler asked, "Can this disease be cured?"
Tinari: "If the treatment is appropriate, the patient's disease progression can be effectively controlled. Unfortunately, there is still no cure for magic scale. But someone once lied to Kelai's mother that there was a way to eradicate magic scale. Let her He handed his daughter over to an organization called the Fools."
Paimon was also a little surprised that Collet actually had a relationship with the Fools.
Tinari saw Paimon's reaction and roughly understood that they understood this organization, which also saved them the trouble of explaining.
"Anyway, the person who entrusted Kelai to my care said that Kelai was sent to an executive named Doctor. I don't know how the Doctor did it. Her magic scale disease was indeed completely contained in those years. But her days with the Fools were definitely not pleasant memories for her."
"Although she is strong and has always tried to be cheerful, until now, she still occasionally feels afraid of other people's touch."
[Paimon: The one who asked Tinari to take care of Colai should be Kaia and the others]
[Tinari: Well, it was Sino and I who brought Kelai back then]
[Kaia: That’s really a bad memory. If it weren’t for Amber, our statue of the God of Wind would probably collapse]
[Ke Lai: I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble]
[Amber: Kaiya, how can you say that? These are not Kelai's fault. These were all done by the doctor who suffered a thousand cuts. If it hadn't been for him injecting Kelai with demon residue, Kelai wouldn't be like this]
[Doctor: But I did suppress the little girl’s condition]
[Ying: Bah, do you still have any reason to do human experiments? You guys are simply the public enemy of the entire continent]
[Paimon: That’s right! 】
[Doctor: Traveler, traveler, you can only pay lip service and work hard]
[Ying: Just wait, I will come and kill you right away]
[Doctor: Always waiting]
...
Tinari suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, Paimon, Collet asked me to tell you that she was sorry for scaring you yesterday. In addition, she also said: I'm sorry for hiding the illness from you at the beginning."
"It's not Kelai's fault, she doesn't need to apologize!" Paimon shook his head vigorously.
Tinari smiled and said, "Well, I hope you can tell her these words yourself next time you see her."
"She once thought that she was not qualified for friendship. Please don't let my disciples go through a similar path again."
Paimon has repeatedly assured that this will never happen.
The traveler asked anxiously: "How is Kelai doing now?"
Tinari: "Fortunately, it's not too serious. This collapse is mainly due to my physical exhaustion in the past two days. Now that I'm taking medicine, I'll get better after taking some rest."
"But when she first arrived in Huachengguo, the situation was much better than it is now. At that time, because she was interested in the work of a ranger and wanted to learn knowledge, I asked her to join us. Recently, her energy has dropped She has lost a lot of weight. Although she should maintain a moderate amount of exercise, long-distance patrols are no longer suitable for her."
"Okay, I've told you everything about Ke Lai. Now I'm going to give her some medicine before I come back, so I won't chat."
The traveler asked, "Can we go together too?"
Paimon: "Tinari, we also want to do something for Colai."
Tinari thought for a while and agreed to their request, but still said seriously: "Because it is very dangerous in the rainforest and travelers are recovering, so I hope you can follow my instructions on the way."
The traveler and Paimon nodded.
Tinari nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let's go. We are going to collect a plant called moon lotus. She is very helpful for patients with magic scale disease to restore their energy."
