"Huh?" Rebecca in front of the kitchen door tilted her head, but the casserole for cooking medicine was too hot, she wrapped the handle with a towel and hurriedly brought it to the dining table, "According to the traditional prescription, you have to drink three bowls of medicine at a time, I'm going to take out the bowl, did Your Excellency Xia Zuo say something just now?" ”

"Remember what I told you in the woods? About "Aogasa Mushroom" and "Green Worm Mushroom". ”

Seeing Xia Zuo's serious expression, Rebecca stood in place and thought for a while.

"Yes, I remember...... You said, the two green mushrooms I picked are different, but I'm sorry I was more wary at the time, and finally you said why are the two kinds of mushrooms different? ”

"Using Green Worm Mushroom has a negative effect...... According to your understanding, "green worm mushroom" is poisonous. ”

Rebecca was stunned, and the motivation to go to the kitchen to get the bowl instantly dropped to freezing. Open your mouth slightly to inhale, and stop talking.

Rebecca's father was also so frightened that he forcibly stopped coughing, trying to hear what Xia Zuo had to say.

"In the medicine that your father drank, if there are healing herbs and green worm mushrooms, then the ingredients of green worm mushrooms account for no less than thirty percent, and in the long run, they will be superimposed by various random but non-fatal negative effects, although the deterioration will not be too serious, and his condition will not get better."

"But," Rebecca began, but was momentarily confused, "the people of the village have been eating green mushrooms for generations, and I have never heard of such a thing as poisonous mushrooms...... Even the village chief couldn't cure my father with the healing demon, so he could only maintain it by drinking medicine to prevent the disease from attacking, but Your Excellency is now telling me that green mushrooms can't do it......"

Rebecca said as she looked at Xia Zuo and shook her head mercilessly.

Now, Rebecca believes in Xia Zuo in her heart, but easily choosing to believe him means that her behavior over the years has been wrong......

"The medicine I picked up by myself is fine, my father is gradually getting better with the help of these medicines, but it seems to be slower, but it will always be fine, there must be no mistakes."

Until there is solid evidence, Rebecca prefers to believe the "truth", even if it may make the situation worse, and it is much more reassuring to choose to believe it.

"The mushrooms are fine, but please remove the green worm mushrooms... No," Xia Zuo touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Probably this medicine, now removing the green worm mushroom will not work, because the negative effect of Ling Father is still "Snake Entanglement", and healing herbs and healing magic can't help him." ”

Xia Zuo looked up at Rebecca, who looked frightened, and in order to convince her, he might have to tell more cases.

"Please sit down first, Rebecca, I can name some of the symptoms after eating the green worm mushroom, the medicine you brewed, and then decide whether to give it to Father Ling or not, okay?"

Rebecca nodded silently and sat down worriedly.

"Yes, Your Excellency Xia Zuo must be well-intentioned, let's listen patiently~" Rebecca's father also persuaded at the same time.

"I remember you said that your family was attacked by goblins in the past, and what kind of injuries did that attack cause to your father?"

Rebecca's face was even more uneasy at the mention of the goblin, but she tried to remember what had happened.

“…… That was four years ago, when I was twelve," Rebecca kept her head down, unable to let Xia Zuo see her sad face, "Father is obviously still very young, he shouldn't be what he is now, he turned out to be a traveling merchant, and one day he promised to take the whole family to the royal capital, the family and my mother, and my seventeen-year-old brother... But on the way, we came across seven leaderless goblins, who must have also run down from the north. ”

Rebecca choked up as she spoke, and her father kindly reached out to soothe her shoulder, "Rebecca, let me talk about it." ”

“... No, father, please let me finish, your current state, maybe you don't remember anything clearly, Your Excellency Xia Zuo needs to know more details. Rebecca rejected him, and also put her hand on his arm, forcing a smile, "I also thought about it for a moment, some things have to be faced. ”

"Okay then... Sorry, Rebecca, sorry for you. Father said. At the same time, Xia Zuo also nodded slightly, indicating that he was tired.

"Goblins are very strong, completely different from the storybooks, even my father has never seen them, and then I remembered the warning of the old people in the village, don't underestimate the goblins that can haunt the northern realm, they are not ordinary, but it is too late to realize it......"

Tears welled up in Rebecca's eyes, and she wiped them away with her hands.

"They came to plunder the wagons, and they didn't intend to let us go alive, my father and brother fought with the goblins to protect me and my mother, the vile goblins, with their corrupt blades, killed my brother and seriously injured my father, and when the line of defense was breached, my mother guarded me, and unfortunately fell under the goblin's attack...... In the end, my father, who was seriously injured, cut the rope from the carriage and took me out on horseback ......"

Rebecca choked up for a long time, and she chose to pause, even if she reluctantly spoke, she wouldn't make it clear.

"And what's next? Where did my father hurt? After waiting for a long time, Xia Zuo asked.

But Rebecca still didn't get better, and was about to respond.

"Leave it to me next, I still remember the rest of what happened," my father said, coughing twice, "I was pierced through my lungs by the broken knife of the goblin, because it was poisonous, my wounds did not heal for a long time, and I still suffered from infection, and the healing technique of the village chief's association could not fully help me, saying that I could only wait for the body to heal on its own, and slowly use medicine to recuperate during the period, but now, the wound is healed, but the condition of the body has not improved, it is really strange..."

When Rebecca's father was about to continue, Xia Zuo suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"Let me guess how you're doing, okay?"

Although he didn't know Xia Zuo's intentions, Rebecca's father nodded in agreement.

Xia raised his eyes left, and first looked at the first debuff "Chaos" above Rebecca's father's head, showing 3 in the lower right corner of the icon, which means that only three layers were stacked, which is slight, "Usually you can't tell the direction, you can't find the target, if you use a weapon, you may not be able to hit the enemy, and you will attack yourself, but in such a situation as sir, let alone using weapons, just take the cutlery as an example, it's difficult for you to aim your knife and fork at the food, right?" ”

Rebecca and her father were a little surprised.

"How do you know?" Rebecca's father asked.

"Yes, my father eats, and I often feed him with utensils." Rebecca said that for a moment she forgot to wipe away the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Xia Zuo raised his index finger and looked confident.

"That's just a little bit, and," he continued to look at the second debuff icon "Vertigo" above Rebecca's father's head, and the character will fall into a fainting and temporarily lose the ability to fight after a certain number of actions (using skills, normal attacks, or even walking), "Sir, if you get out of bed and walk, or do something else, every once in a while, you will get dizzy and can't continue the rest of your journey, right?" ”

The two were silent, looking at each other magically.

"Well, so my father doesn't usually move, and even if he wants to get out of bed, I force that he must have my support."

"Rebecca, have you told your Excellency about my usual situation?"

"No, I never said that."

Xia Zuo smiled and raised his index finger again, "In addition, there is a third negative effect - "Labor Pain", a debuff that continues to damage, losing 0.5% blood per second, and the cumulative amount does not exceed 30%, and there is a trigger condition - entering the combat state, even if you do not enter the combat state, it will be triggered once every long time, Mr. Usually, will you feel inexplicable pain, as if you have been attacked by a continuous attack with low damage, and become weak. ”

It is conceivable that the other party has been bleeding and tormenting in the pain of automatic blood return, and the blood is not yet full, and the "labor pain" will start to deduct blood again until 70%.

The father and daughter showed more and more surprised and incomprehensible expressions, especially the father, the intermittent pain, only he deeply experienced, usually deliberately suppressed it, and did not show it to Rebecca, so as not to worry her.
