After a while, Eureka sensed Jon's physical condition and nodded slightly: "His decay has slowed down, and his physical quality has shown signs of recovery. This recovery will last for about half a year, and then it will continue to decay.
, until death.”
"In general, your attempt was a great success, but the corresponding losses were also huge." Yurika glanced at the empty potion bottles beside her with some distress. These costs must have cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Magic crystal, right?
"But at least you saved Jon's life. According to his current condition, there is absolutely no problem in holding on for two years."
Eureka's words were full of joy. If Jon could live a few more years, he would bring more data.
However, Angel's expression did not show much joy. His original plan was to extend Jon's life for at least twenty years, and then think of other ways to see if Jon's life span could be extended. But now, the established goal
Not only was it not achieved, it was also reduced tenfold.
How could this make Angel happy?
"You don't look happy. Now that you think about these potions, you feel distressed?" Yurika said.
"The potion itself was bought for Teacher Jon, so why should I feel sorry for it?" Angel paused, "Ms. Eureka, can Teacher Jon only be in a frozen state now?"
"You want Jon to regain his sanity?"
"Yes."
"You can unseal the ice coffin, but once it is unsealed, the erosion of the great will will accelerate. In no more than half a month, he will be completely dead."
In other words, if it is frozen, it can extend its life for two years. If it is unsealed, it can be extended for up to half a month.
"Didn't you say that you would definitely find a way to save him?" Eureka crossed her arms and looked down at Angel.
"I will definitely find a way to save mentor Jon." Angel seemed to be replying to Eureka, but he was more talking to himself.
"Then I'll wait and see." Yurika said, turned and walked outside the ice room.
Before Eureka was about to break the news in the dark corridor, Angel suddenly whispered: "No matter what, Teacher Jon is free."
Eureka paused. She understood the meaning of Angel's words. She did not turn around and said calmly: "Freedom? He has been shackled since he came to the wizarding world. All actions are eroded by the will of the world.
Among them, he has long been unable to control himself. Being imprisoned by the world, being imprisoned by the wizard, or being imprisoned by himself, which one do you think is better?"
"Freedom has been gone long ago. Even you and I can't talk about freedom, let alone him."
Eureka's voice became more and more ethereal, and finally disappeared completely. Angel stayed in the ice room and fell into a long silence.
Eureka's words may contain elements of sophistry, but they are not unreasonable. Even from a certain perspective, Angel may be imprisoning Jon's freedom.
However, without reaching that level, the so-called freedom topic is actually all falsehood.
Angel doesn't want to think too much about the difference between "conceptual freedom" and "relative freedom". His only thought now is to let Jon continue to live.
Angel stayed in the ice chamber for a day and a night, imprinting the withered and pale face in the ice coffin deeply into his mind, and then turned around and left.
…
The sunshine outside is very warm, and the fragrant fragrance lingers throughout the manor.
Angel originally planned to go into seclusion to find a way to save his mentor, but before that, he decided to go to Dulu first. After all, he was his guide. He didn't know how long this retreat would last. At least he wanted to find out these things.
The trivial matters need to be dealt with first.
Angel walked towards the gate of the manor. Not long after walking, he saw maid Olly running over with a red face and a food basket.
"Master, this is the soufflé cake baked by the maid Mana herself. She specially asked me to bring it here." Ollie looked at Angel with a shy look. Angel had been very handsome when he was a child, and now he is swollen.
After the marriage, he was even more elegant and handsome. Even if he was his own young master, Ollie couldn't help but become a nymphomaniac.
"My taste has changed a little compared to before, but I still want to thank the maid, Mana." Angel took the basket with a smile, resisting the desire to take a bite immediately, and said gently.
Angel casually put the basket into the bracelet and continued walking towards the door. When Ollie saw this, he immediately followed.
"Is there anything else?" Angel looked at Ollie in confusion.
Ollie pursed her lips and said a little aggrievedly: "Young master, have you forgotten that I am your personal maid? I couldn't find you a few days ago, so I have to follow you closely now. If you need anything, please just ask me."
.”
Angel was stunned: "Actually, there's no need. I'm used to being alone outside..."
Before Angel could finish speaking, Ollie's eyes turned red.
Angel could only choke on the rest of his words and sighed: "Okay, speaking of which, I really have something that I need you to do now."
Seeing that Ollie was attracted by the topic and stopped twitching, Angel said: "Please help me find Mana, the maid, and ask her to wait for me in the hall. I have some things to discuss with him. Also, it's best to bring brother
Call me too."
After pushing Ollie away, Angel continued to walk out.
He did have something to do with Leon and Mana. After all, he was not the only one who came back this time, but also brought the hope of an entire ethnic group.
The servants they met along the way all greeted Angel respectfully. The servant who was in the wheat field also knew Angel's identity at this time. When he saw Angel coming, he asked cautiously.
Sounds good.
No matter who it was, Angel's response was always smiling and polite.
After Angel left, the servant in the wheat field breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the young master was as gentle as the rumors said. He was not blamed for not recognizing him that day. He actually cared about it these days.
Can't sleep.
Angel didn't know what these servants were thinking. He came to the door of the manor, glanced at the owl pretending to be dead on the treetop, and then walked out of the manor without looking back.
His target was the Sheriff's Rolling Log Cabin.
There were no fewer people in Gru Town who knew Angel than in the manor, but compared to the awe-inspiring greetings of the servants in the manor, most of these neighbors thought that Angel had returned from a study tour in the capital. In terms of attitude, they completely dismissed him.
When I was a child, I was a little more affectionate than the servants of the manor.
"Master Pat, have you returned from your studies?" The speaker was an old scholar smoking a cigarette. He was sitting in front of a small wooden house and greeted Angel under the shade of the sunflowers.
Angel was not in a hurry to find Uncle George, he paused and said, "Grandpa Pasha, why did you learn to smoke hookah from Uncle Dim?"
"What do you mean I learned from him? It was Dim who learned from me!" Pasha immediately retorted: "At first, I taught Dim, that country bumpkin, how to smoke hookah, but later I quit and Dim continued.
Just smoke it.”
"Why don't you quit? It's because you were too poor to buy tobacco." The speaker was a burly man named Diem who came out of a wooden house next to Parsha's house.
Pasha is an old scholar in the town. He went out to work when he was young. He is knowledgeable and loves to show off. Dim is Pasha's neighbor and the only blacksmith in the town. In fact, he is also a servant of Pat Manor, but he later got married.
Later, Old Pat allowed him to move to live outside the manor.
These two people are both neighbors and bad friends.
"Master Pat, you are back. The Viscount is always thinking about you." Dim saluted Angel and stretched out his hand to snatch Pasha's pipe: "Master Pat is in front of you, why don't you still think about me?"
He smokes, calls himself an academic, and doesn’t even know how to be polite!”
Pasha coughed twice and said angrily: "You have the nerve to blame me. It's obvious that you have never put down your cigarette when you saw Master Pat before."
"Anyway, I'm doing this for your own good. Smoking less. Let's see how you cough." Dim said.
Parsha couldn't take back the pipe, so he could only stamp his feet helplessly: "Hey, if you don't smoke now, don't stop me from smoking."
Angel looked funny. In the past, Dim smoked the most, but Pasha didn't smoke. Now it's the other way around. Pasha started smoking, but Dim stopped. I don't know what's going on here.
What happened?
"An accident? There is no accident." After hearing Angel's inquiry, Dim helped Parsha and said: "The main reason is that there are too many refugees nearby. They often come to the town to steal things, and sometimes they even catch livestock.
As they were running away, one of the old scholar's cows was stolen and roasted by the refugees. When we arrived, only the huge cow's head was left... Alas, we didn't dare to touch them. If we moved, they would be dead, and they were injured.
If you don’t have anything to gain, even if you are caught by George, you won’t be able to punish him with anything.”
Parsha also sighed: "You just pity my cow."
"I have nothing, so I have nothing to worry about." Angel said after being silent for a while.
"Yes, that's what it means. We can only passively strengthen our defense, but we can't bear the number of refugees." Dim shook his head and blew out a smoke ring: "When will the war end? Besides, we are in Yamei
The province now seems to be in turmoil."
"Dim is right. Maybe one day we will become these refugees. This is also the reason for my anxiety. I am anxious, so I smoke...ah?! Dim!! You are actually holding my pipe.
Smoking!" Halfway through Parsha's words, he suddenly saw Dim's face in the mist, and it took him a long time to react.
The two quarreled again.
The heavy atmosphere originally created was lost because of this.
"Don't worry, even if the entire Golden Bird Empire falls, Gru Town is definitely the safest place." Angel said firmly.
Parsha and Dim didn't know where Angel got his confidence, but seeing that Angel's expression didn't seem to be fake, they were a little convinced.
After Angel left, Pasha suddenly said to Dim: "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel much more comfortable."
Dim also nodded in surprise: "Me too, it seems that after Master Pat comes back, we also feel like we have found our backbone."
"Do you think the Pat Manor will also be unblocked?" The two fell into whispers. As for the smoking issue they had previously argued about, they slowly let it go...
