In the deepest part of the City Hall Prison.
There was a secret door here that isolated the cells outside. It was a different world inside.
With Fowler leading the way, Hayashi River smoothly entered the place. Looking around, he found that the area behind the secret door was not so much a prison cell, but a vacation house.
Looking through the cell door, the area of the cell here was not ordinary spacious. The furnishings inside were also up to the standard of a star hotel.
The only restriction was that they could not go out.
Hayashi River was not surprised about this. Such cells were found in many prisons.
After all, some criminals in this world were always special. Even if they committed crimes, they still had amazing power and needed special treatment.
Such criminals, some had prominent identities, some had monstrous power, and some were as rich as a country … Of course, some deliberately stayed in prison to seek refuge …
"Mr. Chuan, this way …"
Fowler came to a cell. After opening it, he walked in with Hayashi River.
A burly figure was lying on the big bed in the cell. When he heard the door opening, he only raised his head. When he saw that it was Fowler, he closed his eyes again and let out a light snore, continuing his afternoon nap.
"Sir. Sit here and let him sleep. He will wake up soon. "
Fowler asked Hayashi River to sit down. Obviously, he was very familiar with this place. He opened the cabinet and took out a drink to serve to Hayashi River.
Drinking the high-end drink, Hayashi River looked at the person on the bed. To be exact, this was not a human.
This figure was far more burly than a human, nearly three meters tall.
The big bed was obviously custom-made. It was five meters long to accommodate this figure.
This figure's naked arms were covered with thick hair. His head was also covered with hair, and his legs were abnormally developed.
As for his feet, they were a pair of horse hooves.
This was a Centaur!?
A Centaur that lived in the north of the Sea-Ao Empire!
Hayashi River looked at this Centaur and looked at his right thigh. It was full of scars. The scars were like a giant centipede, and some of them even flashed with electromagnetic waves.
Hayashi River secretly thought, "This injury is really strange …"
After a long time …
The centaur stretched himself and sat up from the bed. He squinted his eyes at Fowler and grinned, "Why are you here, Mr. Fowler? I heard that something earth-shattering happened outside. It won't affect you. You're here to say goodbye to me, right? "
This centaur spoke with a unique accent, belonging to the Sea-Ao Empire's northern region.
"Of course not, Mr. Bayern, I'm fine. Although this storm has affected me, but for me, it is a blessing in disguise. "Fowler smiled and shook his head, unexpectedly also using the dialect of the Northern Land to converse with him.
"Oh. Really? Then I shall congratulate you. "Bayern laughed heartily.
The two exchanged a few words in the dialect of the Northern Region. One had to admit that when Fowler said that he was a noble from the Northern Region in the White Arrow Harbor, it was indeed difficult for anyone to doubt his words. Such an accent, coupled with his noble background of the Blood Spirit Race, did not have any flaws at all.
From the conversation, it could be seen that Bayern was a forthright and talkative person.
Of course, this was a characteristic of the Centaur Race. This race was born this way. Not only were they forthright and hospitable, they were also natural warriors, brave and skilled in battle.
The Centaur Legion of the Northern Region of the Sea-Ao Empire was one of the legions that shook the continent.
During the Hundred Years War, the King of the Northern Region obtained the support of the Centaur Legion and formed an invincible legion that swept the continent's battlefield.
At that time, the Eastern and Western Continents had the saying that the Eastern Continent had ten legions and the Western Continent had seven legions. However, if one were to really choose the top three, the Centaur Legion would definitely be among them, tied with the Western Continent's Temple of Sacred Knights and the Dragon Knights.
Of course, that was during the Hundred Years War. With the passage of time, the current Centaur Legion was no longer as prosperous as it was in the past.
However, within the Sea-Ao Empire, the Centaur Legion was still the empire's number one legion. This was an undisputed fact.
Hayashi River even knew a secret. When the Emperor of the Star Ao Empire, who had facilitated the peace talks between the Eastern and Western Continents, passed away, the empire was in a state of panic, and many factions sided with the King of the Northern Region.
In the Sea-Ao Empire at that time, the King of the Northern Region was second only to the Emperor of the Star Ao Empire. The King of the Northern Region, who had the invincible Centaur Legion, was not someone that the princes could control.
In addition, in terms of bloodline, the King of the Northern Region was also a branch of the Star Ao Imperial Family. With an invincible legion, it was not a problem for him to dominate the Star Ao Empire.
If not for the fact that the imperial family had used various means to spread the news that Cromwell had taken in a prince as his student, the King of the Northern Region would have long led his army east to take over the Star Ao Prefecture and seize the throne.
This method temporarily intimidated the King of the Northern Region. Later on, with the imperial family's various conciliatory measures, the north was finally stabilized …
Hayashi River's thoughts fluctuated. From the history of the Sea-Ao Empire to the Centaur Legion, the King of the Northern Region's bloodline …
"Is this your nephew?"
Only then did Bayun turn his head and look at Hayashi River, as if he had just noticed this young man.
Fowler's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "No, this mister was invited by me to check on your injuries, Bayun."
"Check on my injuries? Him … "
Bayun frowned and did not hide his disdain. He curled his lips and said, "Fowler, you should know that my injuries have lasted for so many years. I have invited several Master Machinists and doctors, but they were all helpless. Such a young Machinist, looking at his age, I'm afraid he is not a Machinist yet. "
"Which Mechanic master sent this apprentice? Please help me collect the data on my injuries …"
Hearing Bayun's rude words, Fowler shook his head, indicating that this was not the case. He also guaranteed that this mister was not ordinary and would definitely be able to alleviate the symptoms of Bayun's injuries.
"Alright … Since you brought him here, Fowler, then check on me. Who asked me to receive so much care from you?"
Bayun did not say anything. He pulled up his shorts and completely exposed his right thigh, immediately making the scars look even more hideous.
The centipede-like scars extended from his knee all the way to his thigh, pulsing gently and causing one's scalp to go numb.
Hayashi River did not say anything and remained silent from start to finish. He took out a mechanical instrument and first checked Bayun's scars.
Beep beep beep …
The light screen displayed the data. Hayashi River glanced at it, and his brows twitched slightly. He nodded to himself. The frequency of the energy fluctuation in the scars was indeed very similar to that of the [Seventh Armament].
However, the remaining energy in Bayun's scars was much more violent than the energy contained in the [Seventh Armament]. It was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins.
After a while, Hayashi River finished his examination, and Fowler softly asked about Bayun's symptoms.
"Lad, tell me about my injuries. My scars are itching every day. Do you have any way to alleviate them? "Bayun squinted his eyes and grinned.
Hayashi River did not say anything. He lowered his head and looked at the data on the light screen, recording something from time to time. After busying himself for a while, he raised his head and looked at Bayun.
"You feel that your scars are itching? What's the point of saying such ironic words? With your current condition, you should be in so much pain that it should be difficult for you to walk … "
"The endurance of you Centaur Tribesmen is indeed astonishing. In the information I gave you previously, there was not a single mention of your scars being in pain. This pain should have persisted for more than ten years … "
"Since the day you were injured …"
Hayashi River said slowly.
Bayun's eyes widened as he stared at Hayashi River with a look of disbelief on his face.
All these years in prison, he had never mentioned the true symptoms of his scars during every examination, because he felt that if he could find out the true condition of his scars, he would be able to treat his scars.
However, all these years, be it the mechanical masters, the highly-skilled doctors, or the famous Xinyuan Priests, none of them were able to find out anything. This made Bayun very disappointed, and he did not want to mention the true symptoms of his scars.
So what if he told him that his scars hurt to the bone every day? If he could not treat them, then it would be pointless …
Now, such a young mechanic in front of him was able to accurately point out the symptoms of his scars with just a simple examination. Bayun's eyes widened in disbelief.
Turning his head, Bayun looked at Fowler, who smiled and nodded without saying anything.
"Lad, how did you know? Did someone tell you in advance …" Bayun's eyes widened, still doubtful.
Hayashi River glanced at him and said, "This is what the data from the examination told me. Not only do I know that your scars are hurting badly, but I also know that if this goes on, you probably won't live past this year …"
As he said that, Hayashi River looked at the time and corrected him. "Wrong. To be precise, you won't live past ten months. "
As he said that, he passed the light screen over. On it was a model of Bayun's body, and it showed that the residual energy from the scars on his thighs had already begun to corrode his spine.
Pointing at the model, Hayashi River said, "The frequency of the residual energy is very violent. Once it invades your spine, it will be like throwing a torch into a frying pan. The pain in your body will probably be a hundred times worse than it is now …"
As he said that, Hayashi River seemed to have thought of something. He took the light screen and entered some information.
"The bodies of the Centaur Race are really strong. If it were an ordinary human, they probably wouldn't live past ten months due to the corrosion of the residual energy from these scars. It's really amazing that Mister Bayun can live for more than ten years …" Hayashi River said seriously as he raised his head to look at Bayun.
Bayun gritted his teeth and growled, "Don't look at me like you're looking at a test subject. Is what you said true? When the time comes, the pain will be a hundred times stronger? "
"That's a preliminary estimate …" Hayashi River nodded.
When the Centaur Race heard that, his body trembled uncontrollably. He covered the scars on his right thighs, and the muscles there trembled uncontrollably.
The intense emotional fluctuations made it impossible for him to endure the pain in his body. In an instant, Bayun's body was covered in cold sweat due to the pain.
"Death is nothing … Dying a hundred times more painful than this is too painful … Why don't I …" Bayun muttered to himself, his face twitching uncontrollably.
At this moment, Fowler softly asked Hayashi River if there was a way to treat it.
"If Mister Bayun is willing to cooperate, I have some confidence that I can treat this injury. At the very least, I can alleviate the pain," Hayashi River said with a nod.
Hearing this, Bayun immediately came back to his senses. He stared straight at Lin Chuan with a look of astonishment. "Can you really heal this injury and relieve my pain?"
"Of course … However, it's not for free. Mister Bayun, you're a good research subject …"
"I've always wanted to research the Centaur Race's innate gift of Endurance and create a device that can increase the endurance of other races. If you're willing to cooperate …"
Hayashi River was interrupted by Bayun halfway. The latter nodded profusely, indicating that there was no problem, as long as Hayashi River could alleviate the pain of his scars.
"Alright. Let's begin … "
Hayashi River nodded, took out several mechanical instruments, and placed them on the table.
"You're starting now? So fast … "Bayun was momentarily stunned.
Hayashi River did not say anything. He let Bayun lie on the bed, took out a long needle, and inserted it into a scar on the Centaur Race's right thigh.
Wu …
Bayun's eyes widened. Even with his extraordinary endurance, he almost bounced up from the bed in pain.
"You …"
Bayun glared at Hayashi River. Just as he was about to scold him, Hayashi River glanced at him. For some reason, his heart tightened, and he could not say a word.
He did not notice that the remaining energy in the wound was flowing through the long needle into the [Seventh Armor] under Hayashi River's robe …
The pain in his thigh had unknowingly lessened. When Bayun woke up, he realized that the pain in his right thigh had lessened significantly.
That was not the main point. The main point was that one of the scars on his thigh had shrunk significantly, like a centipede that had been stripped of its flesh, and was lying limply on his thigh.
At the table, Hayashi River sat there, recording some things on the holographic screen, and began to pack up the mechanical instruments.
"This is the first treatment. This should be enough …" Hayashi River said to Fowler as he packed up.
"Alright. Mister, when is the next treatment? "Fowler asked.
"Hmm … When I'm free …" Hayashi River pretended to ponder for a moment, and said vaguely.
"Erm … Mister, can you give me a definite reply? Mister Bayun is a very good friend of mine, "Fowler pleaded with him in a low voice.
"When I'm free …"
Bayun was dumbfounded. He knew that a Mechanic's time was always packed. Even the most ordinary Mechanic would spend most of his time in the laboratory.
Furthermore, this young Mechanic had such outstanding skills. If he were to really be free, it would probably be next month. How could he allow that?
Immediately, Bayun rolled off the bed and knelt on one knee in apology.
"Respected Mister Mechanic, I was too slow just now. Please don't take it to heart!"
"I beg you, mister, to treat my injury. I, Bayun, will pay you handsomely."
"I am the descendant of the leader of the Northern Centaur Army in the Sea-Ao Empire. My family is very wealthy, and we can pay you enough …"
Hayashi River lowered his head and continued to pack up the mechanical instruments. He had no intention of staying any longer. "I'm here because of Mister Fowler's repeated invitations. Of course, I don't think that Mister Bayun has been neglectful in the past. However, my schedule is indeed very packed, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make time just to treat you. "
"Furthermore, your injury should be able to be alleviated for a period of time after this treatment. I'll come once a month, and it should be healed in about ten months …"
Ten … Ten months …
Bayun was instantly anxious. How could he endure it? This was the weakness of living beings.
Indeed, the Centaur Race had the innate talent of Tenacity, and could endure such pain for more than ten years. However, once the pain was alleviated, and knowing that there was hope for recovery, waiting for another ten months immediately felt as long as a lifetime.
Furthermore, if something were to happen during this period and his injury worsened, or if this Mister Mechanic had something to do and was not in the Fauka Tower, wouldn't that be a huge problem?
At this moment, Fowler looked at Bayun, gave him a look, and pointed to the mechanical instruments on the table.
The latter was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. That's right! This young man was a Mechanic, how could he be moved by a monetary reward?
Bayun's thoughts spun rapidly. He suddenly lifted his shirt, turned around, and pointed at his back. "Mister, take a look at this. My injury is actually related to this thing. I think you will definitely be very interested … "
In the middle of Bayun's broad back, there was a strange pattern that resembled a dagger, and there seemed to be blood vessels squirming within it.
At the tip of the dagger, there were cracks, as though it had been damaged …
"Uh … This is …"
Hayashi River frowned, but he was secretly delighted. The reason why he and Fowler came here was because of this mark on Bayun's body.
