Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat
Chapter 119 Suicide Prevention Circle
"I only said I'd give you a piece of dried sweet potato, but I didn't say what it would taste like." Roy smiled, revealing his villainous charm.
"What an amazing trick!" Teresa exclaimed in amazement, and suddenly threw the sour potato chips away.
"How about it? If you come with me, I'll give you some sweet potato chips, they'll be sweet!"
Faced with such tempting words, Teresa did not immediately believe them. Although she had forgotten the deception she had experienced, a sense of vigilance arose subconsciously.
"No way!" she refused righteously. "I still need to save that uncle who committed suicide. How could mere dried sweet potatoes possibly sway me!"
"It's not just dried sweet potato," Roy began to describe. "Pinching an ostomone between your fingertips, its soft texture gently bounces back. Bite into the thin outer skin, and the sweet juice bursts on your tongue. The chewy, smooth gel bounces lightly between your teeth, its fruity sweetness neither cloying nor greasy, and the cool sensation slides down your throat..."
As he spoke, he wore an expression of rapture, which made Teresa stare wide-eyed.
What is Ottom? It sounds delicious!
"What a pity, I only gave it to Ottom, the first kid who came with me." Roy waved his hand, looking helpless. "Teresa, if you hesitated for a few more seconds, you would have missed your chance."
"Ah, three seconds left."
"three……"
"one……"
"Wow, it went straight to one!"
It has to be said that TVG did a really good job in the past. People who see this kind of format for the first time are always agitated by the pressure of the countdown numbers jumping second by second, and their fingers will uncontrollably follow suit and place an order.
And Teresa also experienced the effects of this game.
"But...but..." she poked at her finger, "food, human lives..."
Her expression gradually hardened.
"Human life is definitely more important!"
Seeing the change in Teresa's expression, Roy sighed.
From Eloi's account, it is clear that Teresa was kind-hearted during her childhood and often used her special bloodline abilities to help other injured people.
Such a person would not abandon their integrity in saving lives for the sake of a small amount of food.
"You'd be perfect as a doctor or a nurse..." Roy murmured, then put on his helmet.
"Teresa, what if my brother said that food would be provided and lives would be saved?"
With the helmet on, Roy's demeanor changed drastically, suddenly revealing a cold and aloof expression, while his entire being exuded an unparalleled sharpness.
Theresa was stunned.
Only now has she begun to pay attention to Roy's appearance.
This armor, and the sword in her hand, reminded her of a profession she deeply admired!
A career that countless children dream of!
"Brother, I am actually a knight." The firm words flowed from between the nails.
He turned and pointed to Flame, introducing him: "This is my attendant, Flame, he is a..."
Roy's lips curled slightly as he uttered a fantastical term.
"A magician."
In his memory, magicians and knights were the most longed-for combination for the children of Lanxi Town, and Roy believed that other towns were much the same!
Sure enough, Theresa's eyes lit up!
After she finished eating, she became even more interested in both of them!
"Want to see the knight's moves?" Roy asked suddenly.
"think!"
"Just you wait and see!"
At this moment, Roy seemed to transform into a sharp sword, his body flying up and down, and the first thing he did was to use the basic swordsmanship he had learned from Delock and Gerald!
Thrust, horizontal slash, block, chop!
The sword light ripped through the night sky, fleeting like a shooting star, but its dazzling brilliance caused Teresa to open her eyes wide!
Immediately afterwards, as if Roy had some kind of hidden mechanism at his waist, he slammed his right hand down to his waist!
"Knight, awaken!"
A short, powerful shout rang out, and his entire suit of armor seemed to hum, while the sword in his hand trembled violently, like thunder!
"Rider Form, here we come!"
Despite his unchanged appearance, every move Roy made was transformed from basic swordsmanship into a sword technique, making it even more fierce. The rapid winds generated by the sword strikes highlighted its violent destructive power!
Whirlwind Slash!
A straight thrust!
Parry the upward chop!
A heavy chop!
Iaijutsu!
First came the standard version, then the enhanced sword technique was activated, the white streak seemingly trying to devour the air!
"Flame!" Roy commanded Flame after finishing his sword dance, "Use Fireball on that door!"
Yan responded blankly, raised one hand, and tilted her head.
A scorching heat burst forth from his palms!
A bewitching red glint flashed in Teresa's eyes as she watched the fireball slam into the metal door, scorching it black.
The remaining sparks drifted in the air, and a faint light flickered in front of the door.
Although it was short-lived, Teresa was still astonished, her mouth agape.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"Whether it's the knight's various moves or the fireball technique, they're all amazing!"
She looked intently at the two of them.
Teresa had heard the stories in fairy tale books before, and of course, she had read every chapter of the long-renowned "Holy Knight Roland." Now that she had met the knight and the magician in reality, she suddenly felt an urge to go on an adventure with them!
"So you're not a bad person after all!" she exclaimed in surprise.
"I am a knight of justice!" Roy said, head held high.
"I believe that no matter what the problem is, my companions and I can help you solve it, even the one you mentioned, wanting to kill your own uncle!" He stretched out his hand, and the cold iron glove seemed to be warm at this moment.
Would you be willing to lend us a hand?
Teresa immediately became solemn.
She thought for a moment, then solemnly made the sign of the cross on her chest.
"Teresa, swear to help knights and magicians, punish evil and eliminate all enemies in the way."
That was a vow style heavily influenced by the church.
"Well done, little girl, I knew you could tell right from wrong!" Roy patted her head, then suddenly said seriously, "Before that, I need to deal with something on you."
While Teresa was puzzled, Roy had already turned his gaze to the metal choker around her neck. The choker was smooth and delicate, clearly a product of high technology.
The Eye of True Vision also describes its name and function in due course.
[Anti-Suicide Circle]
[Category: Technology Products]
[Features: The device can be worn around the neck to establish a binding, simultaneously taking over the user's tactile senses. When the intensity of tactile stimulation on a certain part of the body exceeds a preset threshold, the device will instantly release a precise electrical current, forcibly immobilizing all muscles and preventing any self-harming behavior.]
[Description: A technological product created by the alchemist Phaethon, often used in places of imprisonment and torture.]
To be honest, if you want to prevent suicide, you only need to tie up the prisoners, because it is very difficult to commit suicide by biting your tongue, so there is no need to make a suicide prevention circle.
But Phaethon may have thought that this was too restrictive of prisoners' freedom, so he invented this product.
Roy didn't really understand how it worked.
If you want to commit suicide, quickly insert a razor blade into your artery. Even if the suicide prevention circle notices, it will be too late to release the electric current.
Unless the force with which the blade is inserted into the wind exceeds the set sensory threshold, it is impossible to prevent suicide.
However, this setup presents another problem: even slightly vigorous actions in a prisoner's daily life might be considered suicidal, thus triggering an electric shock to stop them.
Is this also a method to prevent prison break?
Roy didn't know, but he had an idea.
Perhaps the threshold for each part of the body is preset. The threshold for fatal parts is extremely low, such as the throat and heart, where a gust of wind can trigger the suicide prevention zone. Conversely, the threshold is higher.
