Chapter 350: The Second Disciple

As a matter of fact.

Wizards and scientists, like scientists, are both specialized in the arts, and the gap and estrangement between schools is even greater than that between disciplines, because it involves not only knowledge but also power!

Formal wizards with specialized studies of biology are not so easy to find, and even if they can be found, Boris is not something that Boris can easily come into contact with.

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

And Aven's presence perfectly solves his above concerns.

They set out near evening, and arrived at their destination the next morning, the far sail of the Aymor peninsula, the southernmost colony of Phaletis.

Boris has served in the New World for so many years, although his military rank has not been high, but he still has savings.

In the capital of Yuanfan Ling, which is also an excellent port city near the sea, there is a stone garden house built in accordance with the standards of Faltitis.

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

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

With Duke Aymor, Marquis of Far Sail, a Grand Knight, at the helm, the city is one of the safest places in all of the Phaletis colonies.

"Hahaha, come and chase me!"

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

"What is the musket, or is my swordsmanship more powerful, suffer death!"

A group of eight or nine-year-old children, armed with wooden muskets and long swords, passed by the somewhat quiet doorway.

In the early morning sun.

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 look up and listen, and the page that was spread out had not been turned for a long time.

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

Beside him, a fat, half-breed woman from Mastizo was guarding him, shushing him and trying to persuade him to return to his room.

Truly.

Although Yuanfan Port is a subtropical region that does not freeze all year round, the temperature in the winter morning is only about 16 degrees, which is not friendly to a "patient".

"It's all right, Aunt Vera, I'm not at the point where I'm weak. ”

"Master Calvin...."

At this time.

Squeak –

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

When he raised his head, he found that it was Boris, who was supposed to go on a mission, and immediately put down the book in his hand and called out in surprise:

"Dad, why are you back?"

Boris, who knew that his son had difficulty moving, hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed his shoulder, and said with concern:

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

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

You see, this is a bookmark I picked up in the yard!

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

Since his illness, picking up a few leaves in the yard has been 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 side face in the sun, Boris felt a burst of bitterness, tilted his head slightly to hide the inexplicable welling up in his eyes, and kept nodding in praise:

"Good-looking, good-looking!"

At this time, Calvin also noticed Aivan, who was following behind Boris, although he was wearing civilian clothes, but his posture was quite good, and asked Boris suspiciously:

"Dad, who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is Captain Evan Garryott, the captain of the battleship 'Stormhorn' that Dad is serving!"

"Evan Galiot... You are the Kingdom's 'Naval Nova' Captain Aven, the nemesis of scurvy, really you?"

Moment.

The young man's face showed the look of a fan seeing an idol, and he waved his arms excitedly.

Since his legs had problems two years ago, reading books and newspapers has become Calvin's rare pastime.

Although it is no longer news that the news from the mainland has arrived in the New World, it does not prevent Calvin from seeing the most dazzling one in the new generation of the Faltis Kingdom Navy in the past two years.

Evan didn't expect that there would be his own "fans" in the New World.

Stomp Tread...

Walked up to the young man, stretched out his right hand and shook it with him, smiling and greeting:

"Hello Calvin!

Mr. Boris is an excellent gunnery expert, and we work together to sail the seas on a battleship.

After all, no matter how powerful a captain is, he can't go to sea alone, can he?"

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

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

And the famous naval officers and adventurers who have completed some kind of unknown exploration in the official propaganda have become the stars they talk about!

That kind of influence is not inferior to the current international superstar.

"Dad is great, but you're even better!

Mr. Captain, my dream since I was a child was to be a great captain like you.

You've been my idol for a long time. ”

After chatting for a while, patiently answering a few of his questions, and satisfying the boy's desire to chase stars, Evan gave Boris a look and walked out first.

During this period.

From the beginning to the end, neither of them said that they were here to treat him.

Because even the wizards of the "Living Chemical School" dare not say that they know the human body well, especially in the transcendent world, there are too many strange diseases, and Evan himself does not dare to say that he has the certainty of curing all diseases.

Fear of giving Calvin undue hope will lead to even greater disappointment.

Get out of the yard.

Boris whispered to Evan about his son's condition again:

Calvin's legs were stiff and weak at first, and he walked with a scissor-like gait.

But now, two years later, he has completely lost the ability to walk. Although he still retains consciousness, his muscles have begun to atrophy and he is unable to react.

And this situation has become more and more serious over time, and it has spread to the waist. If it continues, maybe it will no longer be a question of whether you can walk or not..."

Then he watched Aven's face expectantly.

Evan nodded slightly, then continued his words:

"If this continues, there is a high risk of affecting the upper limbs and even the respiratory system.

Causes weakness of the respiratory muscles, which in turn leads to respiratory failure.

In this process, the various functions of the body seem to be frozen, and you can only watch the whole body paralyzed step by step and finally usher in death!

50% of patients with this disease die within three years of onset, 20% survive for five years, and 10% survive for 10 years, but it is extremely rare to survive longer than 30 years.

This is also on the premise of careful care with a variety of equipment. ”

Hearing the first half of Aven's words, Boris's face was as dead as ashes, as if he had heard the death sentence pronounced on his son.

But when he heard it, his eyes suddenly bloomed with astonishing brilliance, and he grabbed Aivan's arm:

"Your Excellency, have you seen a lot of people with this disease before, and can Calvin be saved from this situation?"

"I haven't seen it in person, but I've learned a little bit about it through other sources. ”

Apparently Aven had recognized this strange illness that neither the doctors nor the priests could do anything about.

Although it is a rare disease.

However, in his previous life, Evan was widely known as a great physicist, and many people even called public attention to this group through the "Ice Bucket Challenge".

That is the famous "ALS"!

It was also at that time that Evan looked up some information about this rare disease, and when he saw Calvin's symptoms, he turned it over from the depths of his memory.

No wonder the doctor and the priest were helpless.

Even in the modern society where medicine is relatively developed, 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, Evan slowly spat out the words he had always wanted to hear:

"I... Should be able to give it a try. ”

In his memory.

"ALS" is actually a common name for a group of motor neuron diseases.

Because the motor nerve cells in the brain, brainstem and spinal cord are invaded, the patient's muscles gradually atrophy and weakness, so that the body seems to be gradually frozen, so it is commonly known as "ALS".

If you are not a wizard, even if you are not a wizard of the "living chemical school", you may be completely helpless against this disease.

However, whether it is the "Tree of Life School" or the current "Living Chemistry School", the field that they are best at is the activation of plants, animals, and even inorganic substances!

Even in the fourth volume of the inheritance secret scroll, it is recorded that [Revitalizing Dead Things] can arbitrarily create miracles without scientific principles.

For example, activating witchcraft guards, living fossil statues, activating steel golems, etc., they don't say they don't have a nervous system, they don't have a single hair.

Under the influence of the witchcraft of the "living chemical school", you can still be alive.

Lost motor neurons shouldn't be more difficult to activate than those things, right?

No more hesitation.

The two of them returned to the courtyard, and in the face of Calvin's puzzled eyes, Evan took action directly.

No rituals are required, no various spellcasting materials are required.

Evan simply raised his index finger.

A syllable that was so vibrant that it seemed that even a stone came to life:

actiβ€”β€”

The fingertip spell flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it had already hit the boy in the chair.

【Gifted Spells: Activating Aura】

The astonishing energy of the life activity submerged into Calvin's body like a wave of water, and then Evan completely let go of the control of this type of spell, leaving Calvin to take over on his own.

"I'm here..."

In Boris's incredulous gaze, Calvin's leg moved slightly, then a second time.

"My legs... Can you move?"

At this time, the boy had long since ignored the incomprehensible scene just now.

Unable to suppress the surprise in his heart, the boy was about to stand up directly, but because of muscle atrophy, he had no strength to support him to stand, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Whew-

Boris, who was quick-eyed, had already flashed to his side like the wind and held his son up.

It seemed to be even more excited than Calvin, and his lips were trembling vigorously, and he kept repeating:

"Great! Great..."

Smack-

Aven patted his palm and gave a doctor's order:

"'Activating Aura' is really right!

Now Calvin's situation should be the same as disuse muscular atrophy that has not been used for a long time, as long as you adhere to a certain amount of massage, exercise, and recuperation, you should be able to slowly return to the original level.

Then continue the knightly practice.

Perhaps, after completing the transcendent transformation, the power of the body's qualitative transformation may overwhelm this unexplained disease.

Of course, it is possible that even the knight's body is not exempt. ”

Looking at the excited father and son, Ai Wen then poured a basin of cold water on them:

"The only problem now is that the 'Activating Aura' lasts for a limited time, and with my current ability, I can't do it once and for all.

However, there may be another way to give it a try. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a white crystal that had been sorcered from the "magic pocket".

The effect is similar to the props used by the "Bloody Hand Gang" to abduct and sell children, and it can roughly determine whether a person has wizard qualifications.

"Come, Calvin, come on. ”

Syllable!

The boy reached out and grabbed the crystal that Evan had thrown, held it in his palm, and looked suspiciously at the "idol" who had suddenly become a little mysterious.

I saw him smile mysteriously at himself:

"Congratulations, Calvin!

Luckily, you have the potential to become a wizard. ”

My heart pounded.

The boy looked down at the crystal that suddenly emitted a soft white light, and muttered a repetition of the term that seemed to carry mysterious magic:

"Wizard?!"

Smack-

Evan snapped his fingers slightly.

"It's like this. ”

Behind the boy, the empty chair suddenly stood up on its two front legs, and ran like a pony "clicking" in the yard.

Seeing such a scene, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up.

The brilliance was unprecedented!!
