Chapter 57: Carl in Weakness

"I'll have a child in the future, and I'll never hit him in the head," Vincent grumbled as he entered the room.

Alver and Vincent helped Carl choose the closest bed to the door, Vinson went to fetch water, and the two of them helped Carl scrub briefly and change into pajamas.

No matter how much he tossed, Carl fell asleep softly, like an unfilled rag doll, at the mercy of the two; as the two scrubbed Carl, Elph found that Carl's skin, muscles, and bones seemed to be separated from each other; while rubbing his back, Alph and Vincent took a closer look at the scales on the back of Carl's neck that ran down his spine.

The fiery red scales, like some kind of close-fitting equipment, or the skin of some kind of magical creature, covered Carl's skin, and it was slippery and cold to the touch.

"That's cool!" Vincent praised the scales as he tucked the horns into the quilt, "it looks invulnerable." ”

"It might be okay," said Elver, who had changed into his pajamas and sat on the edge of his bed looking at the sleeping Carl.

"Let's go to sleep," Vincent lifted the quilt and jumped into bed, "and we're going to go to my hometown." ”

"Okay," when Alfer responded to Vincent, he suddenly realized that the demon territory had an unusual meaning to Vincent, "How long does it take to get from Erba City to Beyler City?"

"Well......" Vincent began to get confused when he put his pillow on it, "Three or five days, I can't remember ......" his tone was a little soft, "When Abeli took me to school, he was very ...... gone" Before he finished speaking, Vincent fell asleep.

Abeli Elph had never heard of the name, and judging by Vincent's tone, it was probably not the uncle who killed his mother.

Alfer was soon trapped and invaded, and in the haze he saw the huge white dragon he had seen in his hallucination, lying quietly among the clouds, surrounded by a dense crowd of kneeling people, their figures were very small compared to the white dragon, the white dragon shone brightly in the worship of the crowd, and gradually shrunk into a human form similar to the crowd, and the crowd cheered, although Alph could not see the person of the white dragon incarnation, he knew that the person was happy.

Elph was woken up in advance by the unlucky notice of the angry banshee, he didn't want to pay attention to it, buried his head under the pillow, and when he fell asleep again, the quilt fell to the ground, although it was summer, but he was still cold enough, he forgot to draw the curtains before going to bed last night, Elph saw the sun rising high, it must have been noon.

Alver lay on the bed and pulled the quilt back from the floor to the bed, rolling around himself tightly.

Before they could warm up, there was a knock on the door, and outside the door was Teacher Alesi's gentle voice calling them repeatedly: "Get up for lunch, children!

Elph threw himself out of the quilt roll and opened the door for Mr. Alesi, Vincent rolled over and didn't wake up, Carl remained on his back yesterday, and the quilt was still folded by Vincent.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Alessi. ”

"Can I go in and see how the new kid is doing. Teacher Alessi asked.

"Oh, of course," Alfer let Teacher Alesi in.

Teacher Alessi felt Carl's pulse for a while, breathing, "There is no fever, although the breathing and pulse are not strong, they are stable, not bad." ”

"Do you think he's just physically exhausted?"

"It could have been frightened, or something that would have caused a coma, but it wasn't magic that we knew existed, after all, the Headmaster's life summoning didn't do much. "The majel lizard repeatedly insisted that the child would be fine as long as he rested, so all he could do was wait." She reached out and gently stroked the top of Alver's head, "Let's go to Elba City to solve my own problems, and when we get back, he may wake up, but what we're going to do now is get Vincent up, and then you go to the headmaster's office after lunch and meet up with the others." ”

When Vincent woke up, he complained that he had slept badly last night, and staggered and followed Alver to wash up and go downstairs to the dining room, with a handful of hair on his head that had been curled up, and the water had not been pressed down while washing, and Carl had been covering the top of his head - he didn't want Milan to see it.

The chicken lizard stole the bread from the kitchen, and the kitchen had to work overtime to make it, and the dining room was connected to the kitchen, so it was stuffy and hot, and even if the doors and windows were open, the students were so hot that they could barely eat, and Elph and Vincent ate a loaf of bread and drank a little soup before leaving, but when they stood up, they found Carl standing against the door frame of the cafeteria.

"Did he wake up hungry?" Vincent and Alph looked at each other, and the two trotted to Karl's side.

Carl looked a little edematous, his eyelids were bulging, making his eyes smaller than usual, the flesh on his cheeks drooped slightly as if they had melted a little from the sun, he was sweating profusely, and there were strands of hair stuck to his head, which would make people think he was bleeding if he didn't pay attention.

"Good afternoon, what's lunch?" said Karl with a smile, his voice as light as ever, and there was no weakness to be heard.

"You don't look good," Alver worried, "we'll bring you a meal and take you back to the dorm." ”

Vincent nodded, "Elver is here to accompany him, I'll go eat." ”

"No, I can finish my meal here, and then I'm going to go and catch the chief of Diru," Karl straightened, "I'd like to tell you about my adventures while I eatβ€”but it's hot enough." ”

"Are you crazy?" said Vincent, "Carl, you look like you've been blown up and pressed into the pond to scoop up." ”

"Or butter that is going to be sunburned," said Elver, "and you can eat here, and you can tell us what happened yesterday, but you must not follow us to Erba." ”

Carl bypassed the two men and walked straight to the diner's pick-up area, saying as he went, "Let me eat something, or I'll melt." ”

"I'll go to the headmaster," Vincent said, "and you stare at him." ”

Carl took five loaves of bread, two bowls of soup, two hard-boiled eggs, and a plate of fried chicken breast, and the aunt who cooked for Carl warned Carl that if he couldn't finish eating, he would have to wash the dishes in the restaurant, and he was not allowed to use other means or help others, so he had to do it himself.

"No problem," said Karl, "may not be enough!"

Alver sat down to eat with Carl, and he kept staring at Carl, for fear that Carl would faint under the table in the next second.

Carl asked Alver, "What about Vincent?"

"He'......" Alver hesitated for a moment, deciding to tell a little lie, "to go to the bathroom." ”

"I'm fine," Carl laughed, his swollen face making the smile look a little strange, and Alver noticed that Carl's lower eyelids were a little turned out because of the drooping cheeks, "You're not very good at telling lies".

"I'm sorry...... But you eat first, eat quickly. Alfer was not only a little panicked at this time, he prayed that Vincent would soon return with the headmaster.

"Good. Karl agreed, and began to gobble it up.
