"I'm still worried." With a hint of worry in her eyes, Countess Bert looked at Qian Qian, who was standing in the rose under the protection of the nanny in the distance: "Lily's body is too weak, if she continues to be sick like this, I don't dare to imagine the consequences." ”

"Don't worry too much, honey, everything will be fine." Count Bert took his wife's hand and looked at his daughter in the distance with a gentle face: "Trust me! This shows that Lily will be a powerful magician in the future, and she must be extremely talented. The gods are fair, and the powerful gifts he has given Lily are bound to take away her health. ”

"How can I not be worried," the countess saw Qian Qian turn around, and immediately hid the worry on her face, and showed a bright smile from her daughter: "Lily is only three years old this year, and she can't take strong magic potions, but she is too weak, without the support of magic potions, every day is very difficult. Why don't we put up a notice? Ask a passing magician to help our daughter, maybe someone else can do it? ”

"No, we can't take any chances. A gifted child like Lily is easily coveted by necromancers and demons. I've already written to my father, be patient, and wait and see. Count Bert sighed, "I hope he will agree to my request to send a powerful enough magician to our fiefdom." ”

In addition to the Earl and Lady Bert, Qian Qian was also worried about her health, she staggered in front of the rose bushes, bathed in the warm sun, but unfortunately she didn't feel warm at all.

"It's terrible!" She looked at the freshly blooming beautiful roses, and reported to her friends with some dizziness: "7788, it's too bad!" I feel like I'm having a hard time standing for a while! Am I going to die of illness like the original owner? ”

"I don't think you'd better stop wandering outside, hurry back and lie down." 7788 carefully observed Qian Qian's face and suggested: "Go back and lie down!" ”

"Good!" Qian Qian obediently turned around and threw himself into the nanny's generous embrace: "I'm sorry, I think it's better for me to go back and lie down." ”

The sick and weak Qian Qian survived day by day, and finally survived her fifth birthday. The archmage sent by her grandfather, Duke Salson Burt, had done his best to help, but he couldn't take magic potions, and Qian Qian still lived a miserable and difficult life.

Although it was painful, Qian Qian still survived! She and 7788 felt that it was a great achievement to live to the age of five, congratulations!

"Are you alright?" 7788 looked at Qian Qian, who was lying on the bed with his dying breath, and turned in circles helplessly: "It's really not good, I'll give you a one-time medical support for employees who apply for points." ”

"Don't use it yet," Qian said weakly, "I can still hold on for a while." As long as I stay up until I'm six years old, I can start taking magic potions after the age of six. ”

"Hmm!" 7788 was about to cry, it squatted in front of Qian Qian and looked at the face of his little friend for a moment, and said regretfully: "I knew that the physical side effects of a strong talent are so big, we might as well choose an ordinary talent!" ”

"It's fine!" Qian Qian suddenly coughed violently, as if she was about to cough out her lungs, and after a long time, she calmed down again, closed her eyes weakly and replied, "I can still resist." Don't worry, it's going to be fine...... Six-year-old ...... It's only a year to go......"

Outside Qian Qian's room, the countess leaned into her husband's arms with tears streaming down her face, and kept praying to the gods: "My Lily, you must carry it!" I just want her to live healthy, and if I can, it doesn't matter if I can take back her talent, as long as she can live healthy. ”

"One year to go!" Count Bert put his arms around his wife's shoulders with a sad expression, and his usually bright brown eyes seemed to be covered by large dark clouds: "It's only been a year." My Lily will be fine! She is so strong, she will definitely be able to carry it! It must be carried over ......"

Maybe you really don't need to carry it for another year! Probably God thought that she had suffered enough, and one day after Qian Qian's fifth birthday, a man appeared in front of the castle gate and asked for a meeting with Count Bert. He took out a ring and showed it to the guards outside the castle, and the young guard, after taking a look at the ring, hurried in the direction of the castle.

The Count, who had received the report, stood up in astonishment, and while instructing the guards to invite people to the Countess's private drawing-room, he hurried to find his wife himself.

"Charlotte dear," Count Bert pushed open the door to the countess's living room, "the guard said that there was a magician at the gate of the castle who asked for a visit, and he took out King Solomon's seal!" ”

"Could it be him?" The Countess instantly stood up from her chair and asked with some expectation but hesitation, "Could it really be him?" But he hadn't been seen in years! Everyone said he was dead. ”

"It should be him!" Count Bert gave his wife a hopeful smile: "Ivan, the alchemist, the greatest magician in the world!" As long as he is here, our daughter should be saved! ”

"Quick! Hurry up! The Countess didn't even have time to call the maid to help her change her clothes, so she hurriedly pulled her husband out: "Let's hurry to meet her!" Ask him to ......"

"Don't worry!" Count Bert patted his wife's hand: "I have ordered him to be invited to your private drawing-room, you go and prepare it, and treat him well, with the best black tea and snacks." If Lily's body allows, let the babysitter take her out. ”

"No!" The Countess shook her head, "Let's talk to Ivan before deciding whether or not to let Lily out." She was too weak to withstand any slip-ups. ”

"It's good!" The Earl nodded and walked out quickly: "You prepare quickly, you must satisfy Ivan." I'm going to meet him! ”

Accompanying the guards into the countess's parlor was an old man with a white beard, a bald crown and a short haircut, but a long beard. He was wearing the most ordinary gray magician's robe, the kind that everyone from magician apprentices to great magicians could wear, and the collar and chest of the robe were not decorated with patterns representing the status of the great magician like other great magicians, so ordinary and inconspicuous.

"Hello! Dear Ivan, I would like to welcome you to visit us. The Countess did not despise Ivan for his ordinary attire, and respectfully bowed to him with a standard curtsy.

"Countess Bert." Ivan smiled gently at the Countess: "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm sorry to visit! ”
