Immediately afterwards, Li Ang repeated the same operation on the girl's right eye corner.
This treatment method was clearly unexpected by everyone, and some apprentices couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
However, the effects of the medicine were almost immediate. The moment Li Ang pulled out the needle, pink granulation tissue began to wriggle, grow, and intertwine at a speed visible to the naked eye deep in the girl's originally empty eye socket!
Inside the eye socket, a pale blue base gradually forms, followed by the pupil and iris.
A few minutes later, a pair of clear eyes with a faint blue luster began to grow back little by little, to everyone's disbelief!
Throughout the workshop, gasps of astonishment filled the air. Everyone was speechless, stunned by what seemed like a miracle. It completely overturned their understanding of pharmacology!
Just then, the effects of the sleeping potion wore off, and the girl's eyelids twitched a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.
At first, her brand-new light blue eyes seemed somewhat confused and empty, but soon, information about light and color began to flood into her brain.
She blinked unconsciously, seemingly unaccustomed to the long-lost light.
The boy, who had been anxiously watching over her, rushed to his sister's side, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Nanali? Are you...are you alright? Can...can you see your brother?"
The girl's gaze slowly focused, landing on the boy's face, which was contorted with excitement.
She froze for a few seconds, as if confirming that this was not a dream, and then, a huge surprise and an unbelievable light burst forth in her newborn eyes!
"Brother—brother!" Her voice was choked with sobs, yet filled with unprecedented joy.
"I—I can see! I really can see! Brother, you look—just like I imagined!"
She reached out her trembling hand, wanting to touch her brother's cheek.
The boy hugged his sister tightly, and the two siblings burst into tears of joy. Their cries and laughter mingled together and lingered for a long time.
Inside the workshop, a dwarf apprentice murmured, "The Titan of Life—this is a gift from the Titan of Life!"
Immediately afterwards, the apprentice knelt down devoutly in Li Ang's direction.
Then he crossed his hands over his chest and prayed in the dwarven language: "Thank you, breath of life, for granting my people eternal life. May your mercy shine like the sun on my people's future."
This action was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
The other dwarven apprentices, including Nanali, who had just regained her sight and whose eyes were still filled with tears, followed suit. They all knelt down and chanted in unison, "Thank you, Breath of Life, for granting our people eternal life—"
However, Li Ang did not understand the dwarven language. In his eyes, the dwarves suddenly knelt down in front of him, muttering something, which was very strange.
Seeing this, Master White quickly stepped forward and explained to the bewildered Leon with utmost respect, "My lord, please don't blame them for their rudeness. They—they were awestruck by the miracles you displayed, and believe that you—you might be the incarnation of the Titan of Life, or a messenger bearing His grace."
Upon hearing the explanation and looking at the dwarves kneeling before him, Li Ang felt a sense of helplessness. He waved his hand and said, "Get up, and go about your business. I'm just an ordinary apothecary, not some Titan incarnation."
Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the apprentices reluctantly stood up, but their gazes toward Li Ang were already filled with fervor and admiration.
Leon turned to White and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Wizard White, what is a Life Titan? Aren't the Titans worshipped by the dwarves only three: Strength, Wisdom, and Courage?"
White stroked his beard, a look of reminiscence on his face, and explained, "My lord, you may not know this, but there are actually far more than three Titans in the world. Legend has it that there are many Titans who wield different powers. However, only four Titans answered the dwarves' prayers. In addition to the three you know, the fourth is the Life Titan, who holds the power of life and healing."
He paused, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of melancholy, "According to ancient epics, in the distant past, the dwarves were blessed by the Titan of Life. At that time, they were strong and healthy, immune to all diseases, and could almost live as long as heaven and earth. However, for some unknown reason, the sacred tree, which symbolized the source of life, withered, and the Titan of Life departed, no longer answering the dwarves' prayers."
From that time on, dwarves, like other mortal races, began to experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, becoming mortals.
After listening, Li Ang nodded, indicating that he understood. He was not very interested in this kind of mythical legend, but only understood it as a mythical projection of some ancient history in the racial memory.
Seeing that White had nothing more to add, he didn't press the matter further. He left the still lively workshop with the remaining bottle of [Targeted Tissue Regeneration Agent] and the injection kit.
Back at the Honey and Wine Inn, Li Ang first sent a text message to Elisa via the Enforcement Team badge: "Elisa, come to my room when you have time."
He didn't explain the specific reason, wanting to give her a surprise.
While waiting for Elisa in the room, he enjoyed a perfectly pan-fried lamb rib and a piece of soft bread, brought by Nelson.
Not long after, a gentle knock sounded on the door, and Elisa arrived as promised.
"Captain Li Ang, you wanted to see me?" Elisa asked with some confusion, her one intact eye looking inquiring.
Li Ang helped her sit down in a chair, looking at this comrade who had fought alongside him and lost an eye in the process but never complained. He stated his purpose directly: "Elisa, I have recently developed a new medicine called the [Targeted Tissue Regeneration Agent]. Theoretically, it can repair necrotic body tissue—including, the eyeball."
Upon hearing this, Elisa's body stiffened abruptly, her single eye widening instantly as she stared at Li Ang in disbelief.
Although she always appeared strong and open-minded, what young girl wouldn't really care about her disfigurement?
Moreover, losing an eye is not only a physical injury, but also brings many inconveniences to combat and daily life.
Overwhelmed with joy and anticipation, her voice trembled slightly: "Li—Li Ang? You mean—my eyes—may—?"
Li Ang nodded and continued, "But there's only one successful case of this medicine so far, so it might not be effective for you, but at least it shouldn't be dangerous. Are you willing—"
"I'm willing to try! Even if it's dangerous, I'm willing!"
Before Li Ang could finish speaking, Elisa excitedly gave her answer.
Li Ang nodded, took out the assembled syringe, carefully removed the needle, and then extended his left hand, his fingertips twitching slightly as he simultaneously cast [Water Creation] and [Fireworks] spells.
