After a while, Eureka sensed Jon's physical condition and nodded slightly: "His decay has slowed down, and his physical fitness is showing signs of recovery. This recovery lasts for about half a year, and then it continues to decay until it dies. ”

"Overall, your attempt was a great success, but the corresponding losses were also significant. Eureka looked at the empty potion bottle on the side with some distress, these consumption must be at least twenty or thirty thousand magic crystals, right?

"But at least you've saved Jon's life, and with his current state, it's absolutely fine to hold on for two years. ”

There was joy in Eurica's words, Jon would live a few more years and bring more data.

However, Ingres's expression didn't show much joy, his original plan was to let Jon live for at least twenty years, and then think of other ways to see if he could increase Jon's lifespan. But now, the set goal has not been achieved, not to mention, and it has been reduced tenfold.

How could this make Ingres happy.

"You don't look happy, and now you think about the potions?" said Eurica.

"The potion itself was bought for Mentor Jon, so why not be distressed. Angler paused, "Lord Eurica, can Mentor Jon only be frozen now?"

"You want Jon to come to his senses?"

"Yes. ”

"You can unseal the ice coffin, but once it is unsealed, the erosion of the Great Will will will be accelerated, and it will not take more than half a month at most, and he will completely die. ”

In other words, if it is frozen, it can prolong its life for two years. If the lockdown is lifted, it will take up to half a month.

"Didn't you say that you would find a way to save him?" said Eurica, who looked at Angel with her arms crossed.

"I'm sure I'll find a way to save Mentor Jon. Angel seemed to be answering Eurica, but more often than not, talking to herself.

"Then I'll see. With that, Yurika turned and walked outside the ice.

Before Eureka was about to break the news in the dark hallway, Angel suddenly whispered, "No matter what, Mentor Jon is free. ”

Eureka paused, she understood the meaning of Angels's words, she didn't turn around, and said lightly: "Freedom? All actions, in the erosion of the will of the world, have long been involuntary. Which one do you think is better to be imprisoned by the world, or to be imprisoned by a wizard, or to be imprisoned by himself?"

"Freedom has long since been consumed, and even you and I can't talk about freedom, let alone him. ”

Yurika's voice grew more and more ethereal, and finally disappeared completely. Ingres remained in the ice room, falling into a long silence.

There may be an element of sophistry in Yurika's words, but it is not unreasonable, and even from a certain point of view, maybe Angel is also imprisoning Jon's freedom.

However, it has not reached that height, and the so-called topic of freedom is actually all false and empty.

Ingres also didn't want to think much about the difference between "conceptual freedom" and "relative freedom", and his only thought now was to let Jon continue to live.

Ingres spent a day and a night in the ice room, imprinting the withered pale face of the ice coffin into his mind, and then turned away.

......

The sun outside is warm, and the aroma of fragrant flowers permeates the entire estate.

Ingres originally planned to go into retreat to find a way to save his mentor, but before that, he decided to go to Duru first, after all, he was his guide, and he didn't know how long this retreat would last, at least he had to deal with these trivial matters in advance.

Ingres walked in the direction of the manor gate, and after walking for long, he saw Ollie's maid running over with a red face and a food basket.

"Young master, this is a souff pastry baked by the head maid of Mana herself, and I was specially ordered to bring it here. Ollie looked at Angel with a shy face, Angel was meticulous when he was a child, and now after drawing a strip, he is even more elegant and handsome, even if it is his own young master, Ollie can't help but be a nymphomaniac.

"My tastes are a little different now than before, but thank you to Lady Mana. Angel took the basket with a smile, endured the desire to taste it immediately, and said gently.

Angel put the basket in the bracelet and continued walking towards the gate, and Ollie immediately followed.

"Anything else?" said Ingres, looking at Ollie quizzically.

Ollie pursed her lips and said with some grievances: "Didn't the young master forget, I am the young master's personal maid, and I couldn't find the young master a few days ago, so now I naturally have to follow closely." If the young master needs anything, please feel free to ask. ”

Angel was stunned: "Actually, no, I'm used to being alone outside......"

Before Angel could finish speaking, Ollie's eyes turned red.

Angel could only choke on the remaining words and sighed, "Well, I really have something for you to do now. ”

Seeing that Ollie was attracted by the topic and stopped jerking, Angel said, "You help me find the head maid of Mana, and ask her to wait for me in the hall, I have something to discuss with him." Also, it's better to call my brother too. ”

After pulling Ollie away, Angel continued to walk outside.

He did have a problem with Leon and Mana, after all, he didn't just come back this time, but also brought the hope of a race.

The servants he met along the way all greeted Angels respectfully. The servant who was in the wheat field also knew Ingres's identity at this time, and when he saw Ingres coming, he cautiously said hello.

Whoever it was, Ingres' response was a polite smile.

After Angel left, the servant in the wheat field breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this young master was really as rumored to be, and his personality was very gentle. I didn't blame him for not recognizing his sin that day, he himself couldn't sleep these days.

Ingres, who did not know what the servants were thinking, went to the gate of the manor, glanced at the owl that was pretending to be dead in the treetops, and walked out of the manor without looking back.

His goal is the sheriff's log cabin.

There were no fewer people in Gru Town who knew Ingres than in the manor, but compared to the awe-inspiring greetings of the servants in the manor, most of the neighbors thought that Ingres had returned from a study tour in the capital, and in terms of attitude, they treated him as if he were a child, but they were a little more affectionate than the servants of the manor.

"Master Pat, are you returning from your studies?" said an old pedant smoking a gun, sitting in front of a log cabin, greeting Ingres in the shade of sunflowers.

Angel didn't rush to find Uncle George, and paused and said, "Grandpa Parsha, why did you learn to smoke hookah from Uncle Diem?"

"What do you want me to learn from him, Dim learned from me!" Parsha immediately retorted: "At the beginning, I taught Diem's hillbilly to smoke hookah, but then I quit, and Dim continued to smoke." ”

"What don't quit, it's clear that you are too poor, and the poor can't afford tobacco. The man who spoke was a burly man named Diem, who had come out of a wooden house next to Parsha's house.

Parsha was an old pedant in the town, who had gone out in his youth, and was very knowledgeable and very fond of showmanship. Tim was Parsha's neighbor and the only blacksmith in town, and he was actually a servant on Pat's manor, but when he got married, he was allowed by the elder Pat to move outside the manor.

These two are both neighbors and friends.

"Young Master Pat, you're back, but Lord Viscount has always been thinking about you. Dim saluted Ingres and stretched out his hand to snatch Parsha's smoking gun: "Young Master Pat is in front of you, you still smoke, and you call yourself a pedant, you can't even be polite!"

Parsha coughed twice and said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say me, obviously you have seen Young Master Pat before, and you have never put down your smoking gun." ”

"Anyway, I'm doing it for your own good, smoke less. Look what you're coughing up all about. Diem said.

Parsha couldn't get the cigarette gun back, so he could only stomp his feet helplessly: "Alas, if you don't smoke now, don't stop me from smoking." ”

Angel looked funny, in the past, Dim smoked the most, but Parsha didn't smoke, but now it's the other way around, Parsha started smoking, but Dim stopped smoking. I don't know what's going on?

"Change, no change. Hearing Angels' inquiry, Dim helped Parsha and said, "The main thing is that there are too many refugees in the neighborhood, who often come to the town to steal something, and sometimes catch the domestic animals, and a cow of the old pedant's family was stolen by the refugees and roasted, and when we arrived, there was only that huge cow's head left...... Alas, we didn't dare to touch them, and they didn't have anything to lose, and even if they were caught by George, they wouldn't be punished for anything. ”

Parsha also sighed, "Just pity my cow." ”

"There is nothing left, so there is nothing to scruple about. Ingres was silent for a long time before saying.

"That's right, that's what it means. We can only passively strengthen our defenses, but we can't tolerate too many refugees. Diem shook his head and spat out a smoke ring: "War, when will it come to an end? ”

"Diem is right, maybe one day we will become these refugees, and that's why I'm anxious. It's anxiety that's why I smoke...... Huh?!Dim!!You're actually smoking with my smoking gun!" Parsha was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly saw Dim's face in the clouds, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

The two quarreled again.

The heavy atmosphere that was originally rendered was also lost.

"Don't worry, even if the entire Gorse Empire falls, Gru Town is definitely the safest place to be. Ingres said firmly.

Parsha and Tim didn't know where Ingre's confidence came from, but looking at Ingres's expression, it didn't seem to be fake, but they were somewhat convinced.

After Angel left, Parsha suddenly said to Diem: "For some reason, I suddenly feel much better. ”

Dimu also nodded suspiciously: "Me too, it seems that after Young Master Pat comes back, we also have a feeling of finding the backbone of the Lord." ”

"You say, will Pat Manor be unsealed because of this?" the two fell into a whisper, and as for the smoking issue they had argued about earlier, they slowly put it down......
