Fina sat beside her father's hospital bed, gently holding the bony hand, and she watched her father quietly, the man who used to look tall now seemed so short, fragile, and helpless.

She has mixed feelings about her father, on the one hand, Fina resents her father for allowing her to grow up in Sur Town and suffer humiliation, and on the other hand, her father has raised her for so many years.

If I had grown up in a normal city, I might have had a better relationship with my father, Fina thought.

Reiner watched the father and daughter from the sidelines, he was silent, he really didn't know how to deal with the atmosphere.

But the silence was soon broken by a commotion, coming from the window that made Reiner look out.

He saw dozens of people, men, women and children, holding farm tools and wooden sticks and kitchen knives in their hands, and they were approaching the hospital with a menacing attitude.

"What's wrong?"

It was only then that Fina came to her senses and stood up.

"You stay here, I'll take a look."

Reiner blocked Fina, and he immediately walked out of the room and went downstairs, just in time to see Dr. Phyllis hurrying towards him with a somewhat panicked expression.

"Mr. Ian Gray, no, they should have come for you."

"Looking for me?"

Reiner was a little strange, but the doors of the hospital had been pushed open, and the townspeople, led by a middle-aged man, poured in.

The men saw Dr. Phyllis first, and then Reiner.

"That's him!"

A voice shouted, and Reiner noticed in the crowd that the son of the mayor he had previously taught was pointing at him, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Hearing the call of the mayor's son, the townsfolk were stunned, looking Reiner up and down, but did not dare to take a step forward.

Apparently, they also heard about Reiner's power from the mayor's son.

The middle-aged man who took the lead took a step forward and said with some unconfidence.

"We came to Nabistin, he can't stay in this hospital!"

Reiner glanced at Dr. Phyllis and asked.

"He's sick, why can't he stay in the hospital?"

"He's got the plague, it's a curse of magic, and if he stays in this town, he'll spread it to everyone!"

The man roared, his voice shaking.

"As the mayor of this town, I want to protect my people."

"Plague? The curse of magic? ”

Reiner didn't understand, he had read the pathology report, which detailed Fina's father's symptoms, and there was no text there that said that his disease was contagious, where did these people hear their words?

"Mr. Nabistin's illness is not contagious, so don't panic."

Dr. Phyllis explained, but it was clear that no one believed his words.

"You mages don't have any good things, that guy must have been cursed by God to get such an illness, you must drive him out!"

The mayor shouted, causing the rest of the townsfolk to respond.

"Or another way, burn him to death, burn his daughter to death, only in this way, can the curse be completely eradicated!"

"Yes, his disease is definitely contagious, I saw that Charlie also had red spots on his hands, and like that guy, Charlie had just been to his neighborhood!"

A young man shouted, adding to the mood of the townspeople.

"Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! ”

For a while, everyone was very excited, quite a bit of the posture of a medieval witch trial.

Reiner was a little surprised, he didn't expect that in this era, there would still be such a stupid guy, in the face of the intensifying scene, he raised his hand, a blue flame burst out, burned out in an instant, at the same time, a huge roar sounded, making the entire hospital suddenly quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at Dr. Phyllis, he has been treating Mr. Nabistine for so long, if he is infected, isn't he the first to be infected? Aren't the nurses in this hospital also going to be infected? ”

Reiner's words drew the attention of everyone to Dr. Phyllis, who was unasymptomatic and the nurses at the hospital were unwell.

Reiner himself has the Hohenheim Gold Cup, and while absorbing the surrounding magic power, he can also sense slight changes in magic power, and when he stepped into Fina's home, there was no similar magic interference, so it can also be determined that there are no magic items that can cause damage to people in Fina's home.

The claims of these people are completely nonsense.

"That's because they're mages, and this disease can't affect mages!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, causing Reiner to laugh dumbly.

"Isn't that gentleman, Mr. Nabistin, a mage?"

"This ......"

Suppressed by their intelligence, the townspeople couldn't say anything to refute for a while, and they fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand your fear of the unknown, but Mr. Nabistin's illness is not contagious, so rest assured."

Reiner said that he didn't think his words would change the stupid townspeople, and that it was enough for him to get rid of them without violence as much as possible.

"Not a single good thing has happened in town since that guy came back, it's a curse!"

The mayor cursed, it was clear that this time he was also here for his humiliated son.

"You mages are liars, bastards!"

In order to maintain the authority of the mayor, he tried his best to reject the mage, and at this time, he couldn't reason with Reiner, so he played tricks.

"You give me the right ......"

Reiner couldn't help but want to erupt, but a call from behind him made him turn his head.

"Dr. Phyllis, my father ......"

It was Fina, her face was pale, and her body trembled.

"I'll take a look."

As if sensing something, Dr. Phyllis immediately followed Fina upstairs, and Reiner glanced at the townsfolk who were stunned by the sight, and sighed and followed.

In the ward, Mr. Nabistin, who had been asleep, was struggling violently, looking extremely painful.

Fina squeezed her father's hand and tried to reassure him, but to no avail.

"The heartbeat is accelerating, it's not good, the organs in the body are failing in many places......"

Dr. Phyllis used his magic to probe Fina's father's physical condition, and his face gradually became clouded, and he immediately took out several injections to try to make a final rescue.

But Fina's father suddenly fell silent, and he opened his eyes, his gaze swept around the room, and finally settled on Fina.

At the same time, during Dr. Phyllis's examination, all of the patient's vital signs disappeared at the same time, and in layman's terms, he was gradually losing his life, and he could no longer be treated by any means, and in a matter of seconds, he would be completely dead.

Stunned, Dr. Phyllis pulled out his pocket watch, ready to record the time of death.

"Wait, he's talking."

Reiner sensed the subtle movement of Fina's father's lips, and he spoke up, causing everyone to look at the dying patient.

The whole room fell silent, and even the noise outside seemed to be far away.

Fina leaned in, only to hear her father, whom she had always resented, whispering in a hoarse voice.

"Fina......

The voice called, small, weak, yet so determined.

"I'm sorry...... Fina. ”

He spoke again, hoarsely, as if containing all the memories of this world.
