"Mom, I'm back!"

After coaxing away a puppy barking at him, Riddle hurried into the familiar yard, shouting uncontrollably.

Twice a week, the Adric Academy had the opportunity to send the letter to his home through Guò Owl, but to surprise his parents, Riddle didn't even reveal the summer vacation in the letter.

At this time, my father was supposed to be working in the fields while my mother was preparing lunch at home.

Sure enough, not long after he shouted, the door in the courtyard slammed open, and his mother walked out briskly, her face full of surprise.

However, Riddle, who was much more observant, saw an unconcealed sadness on his mother's face.

"Mom, what's going on?" He took off his mage hat, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.

"Your father is ......"

Riddle's mother was only halfway to the point of talking.

Riddle was startled and quickly asked her what was going on. Finally, he learned from his mother that his father was sick in bed.

It's just that the villagers pooled some money and sent him to the city priest to see a doctor, but after receiving the money, they told Riddle's mother that her husband was terminally ill and could not be treated.

Immediately, Riddle's mother felt that the sky was falling, so she had to take her husband back home, watching him lose weight day by day, but there was nothing she could do.

"Why don't you sue me for this kind of thing!" Riddle's head buzzed, and he quickly ran into the dilapidated house. Then I saw my father in the bedroom.

He was originally extremely strong, but now he has become skinny, lying quietly on the bed, if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, I'm afraid he wouldn't know that he was still alive.

"Daddy......"

As soon as Riddle saw his father become like this, tears began to fall.

"Your father was afraid that the news of his illness would affect your studies, so he didn't sue you...... By the way, Riddle, why did you come back all of a sudden? His mother followed into the room and whispered, but when she said the back, her face became even worse: "Difficult, isn't it ......?"

"A month from today is a holiday."

Fortunately, Riddle immediately dispelled her doubts.

This time. Probably woken up by their conversation. Riddle's father opened his eyes and looked at Riddle next to Chuang, his eyes wide in disbelief.

"You're back?"

"Well, the academy is on vacation."

Riddle replied immediately. I'm afraid that he will want to be crooked like his mother.

"That's wonderful......" The corners of his father's eyes moistened, "I thought I wouldn't see you until I breathed......"

"Dad, you're going to be fine!"

This time. Riddle said loudly.

He reached out and pulled out a red bottle of potion from the dimensional pouch in his robe.

Micro Life Elixirs. It's different from the diluted version that Syvi gave to the students before. This is the genuine miniature life potion.

He carefully fed his father the vial, which was worth several credits and could save his life at a critical moment.

For ordinary people, this bottle of potion was able to replenish his life force several times in an instant.

"Is this also a magician's prop? I feel so much better......"

Riddle's father had a smile on his lips. Said softly.

But Riddle noticed that his father's pale and sunken cheeks did not get any better. This is completely different from the usual immediate results of life elixirs!

After discovering that even the life potion of a hundred trials and tried-and-hundreds of spirits had failed, Riddle finally panicked.

It is true that life potions can replenish life force and heal quickly no matter what kind of wounds, but Riddle's father is not 'injured', but 'sick'.

Apparently there is some powerlessness in the life medicine for the disease.

It's like the fairy beans in Dragon Ball Z don't work on Son Goku's heart disease.

"Don't waste your efforts, I'm already happy to see you at the end. I've been just a farmer all my life, and the proudest thing is to have a son like you who can become a magician. ”

Riddle's father was very open-minded.

"If I can't even change the fate of my relatives, what kind of magician am I!"

Riddle bit his lip and held back the tears that were about to fall, and then he stood up and walked to the door.

"Dad, you have to wait. I'm sure you'll get better! ”

With that, he opened the door and ran out quickly, and by the time his mother chased him to the door, Riddle was nowhere to be seen.

"The kid's father...... Riddle is sensible too......" Riddle's mother leaned against the door, looking at the empty courtyard with some distraction.

-- Adric College --

"I'm showing my masterpiece to the fat master of that workshop, and let him know what a brilliant genius he drove away in the first place, and regret it until his intestines are green!" Kamiyu yelled at Riddle in displeasure, "If you let me come back if you don't have anything special, you won't be able to keep your new magic robe!" ”

Tannis and Dorothy, who had also returned to Edric after receiving an urgent call from Riddle to 'meet at the academy', also looked curiously at Riddle, who was a little lost.

Immediately afterward, Riddle placed his right hand across his lower abdomen and bowed nearly ninety degrees to the three of them.

"Please help me!"

This is the most solemn of the mage ceremony, and it is about the same level as the three kneeling and nine bowing in ancient Celestial Empire. Ordinary magicians would not make such a great gift even if they saw a person of Lao Shaman's level.

The three of them were rightly frightened.

After understanding the whole story, the three of them suddenly realized.

"It's so out-of-the-box, friend, you must help with such a small thing, right?"

Tannis said cheerfully.

"That's right, Professor Franconian mutters all day long, 'I want to raise my son but I don't want to treat my family' or something." Dorothy also nodded: "It is said that this sentence is still from the book written by the dean. So we must be right to help! ”

"That's it."

Kamiyu smiled and patted Riddle on the shoulder.

Although he is an orphan, it is precisely because of this that he can better understand the value of his relatives.

"So what are you going to do?" It wasn't until Riddle's mood calmed down a little that Kamiyu asked.

Riddle sniffed, wiped away the tears of emotion with his sleeve at the same time, and then raised his face and said, "I want to challenge the fifth layer of the Endless Sky Tower and get the fifth layer of the reward 'Panacea'!" (To be continued......)
