Actually.

Wizards, like scientists, have their own specializations. The gaps and barriers between schools of thought are even greater than between disciplines, because it involves not only knowledge but also power!

Official wizards who specialize in biological knowledge are not that easy to find, and even if they can be found, they are not something Boris can easily contact.

Even if he could get in touch with them, he couldn't really feel at ease with these mysterious people who had their own way of doing things.

But the existence of Ivan perfectly solved his above concerns.

They set off near dusk, and early the next morning they had arrived at their destination, the southernmost colony of Phaletis, the Aymore Peninsula.

Boris has served in the New World for so many years. Although his military rank has never been high, he still has savings.

In the "Sail Port", the capital of the Far Sail Territory and an excellent port city by the sea, there is a stone garden house built entirely in accordance with Phaletian standards.

Although the area is not too large, the supporting facilities here are complete, life is convenient, and most importantly, it is safe enough!

At least in the frontline settlements of the New World, massacres by Atrians who appeared out of nowhere occurred every year.

Duke Amore, the Marquis of Far Sail, who holds the rank of Grand Knight, is in charge. This city is one of the safest places among all the Phaletian colonies.

"Hahaha, come and chase me!"

"Let you taste the power of my musket! Bang, bang, bang!"

"What's the point of a musket? My swordsmanship is better. I'll die!"

A group of eight or nine-year-old children, holding wooden muskets and swords in their hands, passed by the somewhat quiet door while playing playfully.

In the morning sunshine.

Under an orange tree in the courtyard, a young man sitting in a wooden chair with a thin blanket on his legs was reading a book, but he looked obviously absent-minded.

Especially when I heard the commotion outside the door, I couldn't help but raise my head and listen attentively. The open page of the book had not been turned for a long time.

The boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, with the same pale blond hair and fair skin as Boris. There was no sign of illness on his face, just like the lively children outside.

Beside him was a plump mulatto Mastizo woman, who was watching over him every step of the way, asking him for help and trying to persuade him to go back to his room.

really.

Although Yuanfan Port belongs to the subtropical zone where it never freezes all year round, the temperature in the morning in winter is only about 16 degrees, which is not friendly to a "patient".

"It's okay, Aunt Vera, I'm not so weak yet."

"Master Calvin"

At this moment.

squeak

The sudden sound of the door opening startled the young man who was still arguing with the servant.

He raised his head and found that the person who came in was Boris who was supposed to be on a mission. He immediately put down the book in his hand and shouted in surprise:

"Dad! Why are you back?"

Knowing that his son had difficulty moving, Boris quickly stepped forward and held his shoulders, saying with concern:

"Calvin, why don't you listen to Vera? What should you do if you get sick while reading outside in the winter?"

"It's okay, I don't want to stay in the room all day, the air outside is fresh.

Look, this is a bookmark I picked up in the yard! What do you think, does it look good?"

As he spoke, he opened the book on his lap and showed Boris a few dried leaves sandwiched in the pages of the book.

Since getting sick, picking up a few leaves in the yard is one of the few exercises he can do now.

And who can tell that he was once a trainee knight who had practiced swordsmanship for four years and was stronger than many adults?

Looking at his son's seemingly happy profile in the sun, Boris felt a sense of bitterness. He tilted his head slightly to cover up the inexplicable surge in his eyes, and kept nodding in praise:

"Good-looking, good-looking!"

At this time, Calvin also noticed Ivan, who was following Boris. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he was upright and elegant, and asked Boris doubtfully:

"Dad, who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is Captain Alvin Garriott, the captain of the battleship 'Storm Horn' where dad is currently serving!"

"Evan Garriott, you are Captain Ivan, the Kingdom's 'Rising Star of the Navy'! The nemesis of scurvy! Is it really you?"

moment.

The young man's face showed the look of a fan meeting his idol, and he waved his arms in excitement.

Ever since he suffered from leg problems two years ago, reading and reading newspapers has become a rare recreational activity for Calvin.

Although it is no longer news that news from the mainland has arrived in the New World, it does not prevent Calvin from seeing from above the most dazzling star of the new generation of the Phaletis Kingdom's navy in the past two years.

Ivan didn't expect that he would have his "fans" as far away as the New World.

Tap tap tap

He walked up to the young man, stretched out his right hand, shook his hand vigorously, and greeted him with a smile:

"Calvin, hello!

Mr. Boris is an excellent gunnery expert. Only by working together can we sail the battleship across the sea.

After all, no matter how powerful a captain is, he cannot go to sea alone, right?"

Holding Alvin's hand, the young man's excitement was still uncontrollable.

For boys of this era, the brave and romantic sailor life is the dream of most of them.

In the official propaganda, the famous naval officer and the great adventurer who completed some unknown exploration have become the celebrities they talk about!

That kind of influence is no less than that of today's international superstars.

"Dad is great, but you are even more powerful!

Mr. Captain, my dream since childhood has been to become a great captain like you.

You have been my idol for a long time."

After chatting for a while, patiently answering a few of his questions, and satisfying the young man's desire to chase stars, Ivan winked at Boris and walked out first.

During this period.

The two of them never said they were here to see him.

Because even the wizards of the "Activation School" dare not say that they know the human body well, especially since there are so many weird diseases in the supernatural world, and Ivan himself dare not say that he can cure all diseases.

I am afraid that after giving Calvin undue hope, he will be greeted with even greater disappointment.

Get out of the yard.

Boris explained his son's condition to Alvin in a low voice:

"Calvin's legs were stiff and weak at first, and he had a scissor-like gait when walking.

But now, two years later, I have completely lost the ability to walk. Although I still retain consciousness, my muscles have begun to atrophy, and I can no longer respond.

And this condition is getting more and more serious as time goes by, and has spread to the waist. If it continues to spread, it may no longer be a question of whether you can walk."

Then he observed Alvin's face expectantly.

Ai Wen nodded slightly, and then continued what he said:

“If this continues, it is very likely to affect the upper limbs and even the respiratory system.

Resulting in respiratory muscle weakness, leading to respiratory failure.

During this process, all the functions of the body seem to be frozen, and one can only watch the whole body become paralyzed step by step and eventually die!

50% of patients with this disease die within three years of onset, 20% can survive for five years, and 10% can survive for ten years, but survival times longer than 30 years are extremely rare.

This is under the premise of careful care using various equipment.”

After hearing the first half of Aiwen's words, Boris's face turned pale, as if he had heard the death sentence pronounced on his son.

But when he heard from behind, his eyes suddenly bloomed with astonishing brilliance, and he grabbed Alvin's arm:

"Your Excellency, Captain! Have you seen many people with this disease before? Can Calvin's situation be saved?"

"Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I have some understanding of this disease through other channels."

Apparently Alvin had identified this strange disease that doctors and priests were helpless to deal with.

Although this is a rare disease.

But in his previous life, Ivan was well-known as a great physicist, and many people even called the public to pay attention to this group through the "Ice Bucket Challenge."

That is the famous "ALS"!

It was also at that time that Ivan checked some information about this rare disease. When he saw Calvin's symptoms, he dug it out from the depths of his memory.

No wonder the doctor and priest were helpless.

Even in modern society where medicine is relatively advanced, the cause of this disease cannot be determined, let alone in this world where medicine is still extremely backward?

However, looking at Boris's eager eyes, Ivan slowly said what he had always wanted to hear:
