Pannis's hand shook, unconsciously stopped what he was doing, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he remained silent and couldn't say anything.

"It's ridiculous. Vivian curled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, and said leisurely: "People who think they are rare geniuses, but suddenly one day they become crippled, and they can only lie in bed every day, unable to move, unable to speak, and can only make movements in the blink of an eye." ”

"My parents are both residents of the City of Knowledge, and both are professionals, but they are only low-level professionals in the Bronze. Soon after I was born, someone discovered my magical affinity and instinct for magic, and since then, they have pinned all their hopes on me, and they have done everything they can to train me to become a great high-ranking magician. ”

"I didn't disappoint them, and by the time I was two years old, while other children were still learning to speak, I could already recite all the magical elemental tables. When I was three years old, other children were still learning how to eat on their own, but I had broken through the limitations and become a professional and used my first spell. By the time I was four years old, I had already learned a lot under the guidance of my mentor, and for the first time I completed a repetitive alchemy experiment on my own. When I was five years old, I broke through the threshold of black iron without any difficulty and became a professional at the same level as my parents. By the time I was six years old, I had mastered most of the low-level magic, and for the first time in theory, I submitted my first research report to the Mage Guild as an independent mage. Haha, I still remember very well that the content of my report was about the non-linear impact of the change in the configuration of the spell framework on the fire attribute auxiliary magic, although the content of the discussion was still relatively immature, but because of the particularity of my age, it caused a strong sensation in the guild, and even the president came to my home laboratory several times to look for me. At that time, everyone knew that the daughter of the Flamel family, Vivien Flamel, was a promising girl who would one day become the most prestigious professional that everyone would look up to. ”

"But alas, it all turned into a joke in a very short time. ”

"In the late autumn of the year I was six years old, one afternoon, I suddenly passed out. Since then, I haven't been able to get back up. ”

"When I woke up from a coma, I was horrified to find that I couldn't control my body, and I couldn't feel any feedback from my body, not my eyes but my body, and I was afraid that I would think that I only had a head left. ”

"Mom and Dad anxiously took me to the medical clinics of countless shrines, but no one knew the cause of my sudden onset of strange illness, and they could only conclude that I was completely paralyzed after examining my body over and over again, and the possibility of a cure was almost zero. ”

"Many priests, mages, and doctors have studied my illness, even Master Antoin, the head minister, many times, but in the end they have been unable to do anything but watch me, a genius in their eyes, lie in bed every day, consuming their life little by little. ”

"It is said that most of the nerves in my body were completely damaged due to unknown reasons, I could not control any part of my neck down, and I did not have any sensation in those parts, and even because of the higher position of the loss of control, I lost even the ability to speak, I did not even have the ability to control my vocal cords, I could only lie like that, and decay day by day. So, I went from being a genius to a poor Vivian, to a paralyzed Vivian, to a forgotten Vivian. ”

"That time, haha, it wasn't a period of time, it lasted thirteen years, and I was in bed in pain for thirteen years. Thankfully, Mom and Dad didn't give up on me, and they spent all their savings to treat me, so they had to return to their former mercenary team, which led to their deaths in a battle a few years later. ”

"So, for thirteen years, I have been lying alone in a house, with only a hired maid who takes care of my physical needs at regular intervals every day. ”

"Can I see through people's hearts and perceive their emotions? It was just a joke, it was the experience of that time, I could only analyze their emotions through every subtle expression and subconscious movement of the maid, and slowly, these analytical abilities became my instincts, so it seemed as if I could perceive emotions, but in fact it was just a by-product of pain. ”

"If it weren't for the eldest sister, maybe I would have died a long time ago. ”

"I have known my eldest sister since I was very young, she is two years older than me, after I got sick, when my parents left home on a mission, she supervised the maid to take care of me, and she often came to chat with me and give me encouragement, otherwise, I would never be able to support it. ”

"After five years in bed, one day, with the encouragement of my eldest sister, I began to practice magic again. I can't chant or seal, so I have to build a model of spells in my brain over and over again in order to cast a silent spell. It wasn't until two years of building the same model that I managed to complete my first silent spell, the simplest of mage's hands. ”

"With this magic, it's a lot easier for me to continue learning magic. I can use the hand of a mage to flip through books and exchange books, and I no longer need someone to read to me like before. ”

"In this way, I spent every day in all kinds of magical theories. Originally, I thought that I would continue like this, a scholar who simply delves into the theory of magic, a scholar who is paralyzed. However, I suddenly discovered a magic. ”

"Whew, no wonder, that makes sense, I think I already know what magic you've discovered. Pannis sighed, "magic, right?"

"Yes, puppet manipulation. Vivien smiled and said, "I found this magic that had been swept into the trash. ”

"So to speak. Pannis's tone was full of disbelief: "You control yourself with puppet manipulation?"

"I'm a good puppeteer, aren't I?" Vivien's smile contained a complex meaning, her limbs didn't move, but her whole body slowly stood up straight, her hands and feet like a real puppet, and made a few twisted movements that seemed like a crappy puppet show: "It's not that simple. ”

"First, I used condensed magic threads to run through some of the muscles in my neck, and then I tried to control the muscles through the magic threads. Half a year later, I succeeded, and when I was almost fifteen years old, I finally said my first sentence again. ”

"After that, I regained control of another part of my body. Vivien's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes fluttered, "Let me control myself...... Not...... Well, forget it, I won't talk about it. ”

"If that's the case, I remember how many times you've had ...... before" Pannis's smile suddenly became embarrassed: "There have been a few times when the magic power has gone out of control, because of the magic disorder caused by the backlash of hedron energy, you shouldn't have ...... at that time"

"Hahaha, I've been prepared for a long time. Vivian covered her mouth and replied with a smile: "You must know that for girls, if there is such a problem in front of people, it is better to commit suicide directly." So, in order to prevent me from suddenly having a runaway spell of magic and causing that situation to occur, I have already made several sets of backup control measures, and it will definitely not be like what you think. Besides, you actually thought about that right away, you perverted guy. ”

"Hey, it's obvious that you brought it up first, okay? Pannis rolled his eyes: "However, if you can control your body by simulating nerves through magic threads, why do you still use magic tricks?"

"I also wanted to replace all the nerves in my body with magic threads, but then I found out that it was not possible. Vivien sighed: "It's quite simple to control a few muscles, and it's a few muscles with a single function, but if you want to control the muscles of the limbs and torso to complete an action, even if it is to complete the simplest muscle, it takes hundreds of times more energy to control, and normal people can't do it at all, so I gave up this impossible idea." ”

"Have you turned to magic?" Pannis nodded, "It's easy to control your body with magic, but it's inevitable that most of your muscles will atrophy and degenerate." ”

"yes, just like I am. Vivien took off her gloves for the first time in front of Pannis, and the skin of her hands was pale and loose, and the muscles and fat that should have been supported between skin and bone were negligible: "Like a monster." ”

"It's not easy to control yourself with puppet manipulation. Vivien frowned, as if recalling the hard work of that time: "I didn't tell my eldest sister that I secretly studied this spell every day in my spare time to study magical knowledge, and used it for many years, until I was nineteen years old, and for the first time, I stood on the ground on my legs again without relying on anyone's help. My eldest sister was completely stunned when she saw me that day, but I remember that I looked stupid at the time, like a puppet clown, with exaggerated and twisted movements. But even so, I cried for three whole days. ”

"Then, I spent another whole year trying to be so proficient at manipulating my body that I couldn't see any traces of manipulation when others saw my movements. ”

"No wonder you have a headache, and it's only in the middle of adventures," Pannis said with a wry smile, "It's really a mental overdraft." ”

"Yes, if I only cast the spell for five or six hours a day, it will be no problem for my total mental power, and I will make up for it after a sleep, but if it is more than six hours, it will be difficult to make up for the loss of one night's sleep. Adventures often require dozens of days in a row, and I need to cast spells continuously for eight to ten hours a day, and I will be a little unbearable. So, often after more than fifteen days of adventure without a few days of rest in between, my headaches would frequently occur every night, but I had to get used to it. ”

"However, a disease like yours doesn't affect your life. Pannis suddenly felt a little puzzled: "Then why are Catherine and Lina a little ...... performing?"

"It doesn't affect right now. Vivien sighed and smiled bitterly, "However, the condition is getting worse." ”

"What?" said Pannis, his eyes wide in disbelief, "is it going to get worse?"

"Originally, the nerves that I was damaged by the disease were only the nerves that actively control muscle movements, and some passive movements, such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion, etc., were not affected. However, this is not the case after the deterioration. Can you think about what happens when I fall asleep when my breathing and heartbeat need to be controlled by myself?"

Pannisy clenched his fists and couldn't say a word.

"It's nothing, you don't have to be so sad, I actually want to open it. Vivien took off her soft hat and put it on her face, covering her expression at this time: "During the thirteen years I was in bed, especially after the death of my parents, I was always afraid, afraid that I would be forgotten in the corner, and die silently, even after I died, I was unknown, silently rotting into white bones, until many years later, I was not found. So, in fact, I am not afraid of death, but I am just afraid of being forgotten, as long as you can promise me that even after I die, I will not forget me, I am already very satisfied. ”

"I ...... I don't want to promise that I will find a cure for you, and that promise is unrealistic because I don't have any clue right now. Pannis lowered his eyes, feeling powerless again after a hundred years, just like the feeling he felt when facing the spirit, this familiar feeling made his heart ache: "However, I promise to work hard to find a cure for you, believe me, with my past experience and connections, what Odin and Antuin can't do, I may not be able to do." ”

"Ha, then I'll thank you in advance. Vivian didn't take it seriously, closed her eyes and said, "Your massage is really effective, my head doesn't hurt anymore, I'll sleep for a while." ”

"Sleep. Pannis allowed Vivien to continue to lean sideways on his lap, patting Vivien's back like a child, and causing Vivien to fall asleep peacefully.
