Soon after Jace left, Victor walked in.

Both of them had come to talk to Luki, but for different purposes.

"You look much better, have you slept well lately?"

Luki asked with a smile as he glanced at Victor's face.

"Yes, thanks to Your Highness." Victor slowly sat down where Jace was sitting and said, "After taking those pills, I rarely lose sleep. The state is indeed different from what it used to be. ”

Lu Qi nodded slightly, and asked again, "So what is the matter with you coming to me this time?" ”

Victor's eyes flashed, and he said, "I want to ask, is there any such medicine His Highness still has?" If I can, I'd like to buy some more, or exchange them for something of equal value. ”

The effects of those pills were better than Victor had expected, and since he had been taking one pill a day for several days, he had no more insomnia, and even the number of coughs he had decreased.

All of a sudden, it felt like it was back in many years ago.

"It's poisonous, Victor."

When Lu Qi heard this, he just said in a calm tone.

"Those pills can really slow you down. But it can't be effective all the time, and sooner or later, your body will adapt to the properties of the medicine. At that time, you will need to take more than one dose, but this will put a burden on your other internal organs. ”

After listening to Lu Qi's words, Victor's face turned a little pale, and a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay, my body won't be able to support it for long anyway." ”

He knew his body, and he wouldn't be able to last long if he continued like this.

But he wanted to live, he still had so many ideals to complete, and he hadn't seen the Hexfly Gate invented by Jace all over the world.

Didn't see their own inventions, change the world.

He also had the same lofty ideals as Jace, but God played a joke on him.

But if he could, Victor wanted to face all of this with a healthy attitude.

Luki's pills gave him a glimmer of hope, even though he knew from the beginning that these pills alone could not change his physical condition.

However, there were not many life-saving straws that he could grasp, and he didn't want to let go of any of them.

Seeing his insistent look, Lu Qi sighed lightly: "I mean, there is more to it than that. There's no need to just take pills to hold on. ”

These words made Victor a little puzzled, and he said bluntly: "I don't really understand what His Highness means. ”

"I'll check your pulse first, and come over the handrail."

Luki raised his hand and motioned for Victor.

Victor raised his right hand and placed it on the table as Luci intended.

Then Luci put his finger on his vein, and after only a few seconds, he said, "It's exactly what I guessed." The pulse is weak, weak, thin and thin. It is a pulse sign that there is a lack of qi and blood, and the root cause is damaged. And it's a more serious one. This means that if the system of normal people is 10 points, then you only have 4 points. ”

Speaking of the latter, Luci described it in a way that Victor could understand.

"This ten points is the root cause, and you are born with a loss of six points of the root, which is also the direct cause of your physical weakness."

Lu Qi looked at Victor, who was a little pale, and continued to speak bluntly, "You yourself have congenital lung disease, coupled with high-intensity work, lack of sleep, improper diet, and overdraft of your liver and kidneys. Three of the five internal organs are seriously depleted, and if nothing else, your body can support it for more than a year at most. This is just an estimate, and with your condition, you may fall to the ground at any time. ”

But if you want to talk about the most fundamental problem, it is still the lung disease.

Because I have been infected since I was a child, it has become more and more serious now.

In fact, what Luqi said, Victor had already guessed, and he also knew that Luqi didn't lie to him, after all, he knew his body.

His lung disease has now reached the stage of vomiting blood, and every time it is like coughing his heart out. In order not to let Jace see it, he kept holding on.

He really felt like he would not be able to hold it up at any time.

It's just that when he learned that he had a year left at most, he still felt that his eyes were shaking and he was a little distracted.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but ask, "What His Highness said is?"

"The pill I gave you is also called the Qi Rejuvenation Pill. To put it bluntly, it is to replenish qi and blood and nourish the spirit. It is used urgently, and the effect does not last long. ”

Lu Qi said unhurriedly, "There are urgent uses, and naturally there are slow uses." Just because you have fewer roots than others doesn't mean you can't make up for it. As long as the internal organs are not completely inoperable, they can naturally be repaired. It's just that this process will be very long, and it must be persistent, and every day of slackening and abandoning all the previous achievements. ”

His words made Victor see hope again, his eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "The slow way is to use it."

Lu Qi smiled slightly and said, "I'll prescribe you a prescription later." You have to strictly follow the ratio on the prescription to catch the medicine, and the time ratio should not be bad. If there is any medicine that you can't find, come back to me. In addition to insisting on drinking the soup boiled by these medicines every day, I will also teach you a set of body cultivation techniques, remember to practice diligently. Finally, there's the medicated bath, and I'll give you another recipe. Depending on your physique, soak it every three or four days. ”

"If you stick to this process for a month, you'll see results."

With that, Luci poured some wine into his glass and took a sip.

The most serious thing in Victor's body is lung disease, and the time is too late, even if Lu Qi is a full-level doctor, he can't completely cure it.

However, it is possible to minimize the harm of this lung disease.

There are actually many ways to change your life against the sky in Runeterra, such as Victor in front of him, who will create the famous 'Mechanical Ascension' when he is desperate.

That's why Lu Qi attaches more importance to this talent.

Mechanical Ascension is definitely a shortcut for ordinary humans to gain great power.

And in the Land of Runeterra, in fact, most people are ordinary people.

At this time, Victor, while being flattered, also remained calm: "From the first time we met, His Royal Highness treated me very well. Now, I am also very grateful for His Highness's help. If there is anything Your Highness needs me to do, you may as well tell me directly. ”

He naturally knows that there is never good intentions in the world for no reason.

What's more, it's a big man of Lu Qi's identity.

From the very beginning, he showed a lot of kindness.

He was grateful, but he also knew that the other party must have taken a fancy to something.

For example, Hextech, which is now the most popular in Leather City.

But after thinking about it carefully, now the highness in front of him is only one step away from forming an alliance with Pi Cheng.

There is no need to go through him to obtain Hextech.

"You're smart, but sometimes you're too smart and think too much." Luki didn't mind Victor's statement of poking open the window paper, and smiled faintly, "Helping you, for me, it's just a matter of hand." This is the root cause. What's more, compared to the current Hextech, I value your future more than the current Hextech. ”

Victor's eyes flickered slightly.

Lucci continued: "I've always been very accurate in seeing people. Victor, I didn't mean to arch the fire. You and Jace are very good friends, but I believe that in the future, you may not be less famous than him. ”

"A businessman will invest in a commodity. You're not a commodity, but that doesn't stop me from making some investments because I value your future more than anything else. I don't need you to reciprocate anything now, I just hope that when you have achievements in the future, you can remember this day. ”

After Yun said lightly, Lu Qi didn't say anything more.

At this point, Victor can naturally understand.

He got up from his seat and bowed respectfully in front of Lu Qi: "Your Highness's grace today, I will never forget it in my life." If it is really as His Highness said, I will definitely repay the favor if I have achieved something in the future. ”

For some reason, he felt like tears welled up in his eyes.

As if he was dying, he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw.

He was really afraid of dying, and it was because he knew how wonderful this world was, so he was reluctant to leave.

There are still too many things in the Land of Runeterra, and he hasn't witnessed them, and if he doesn't finish them, how can he leave willingly.

No matter what, he will keep today's events in his heart.

Again, stick to it once you start. A day's slack will be wasted. ”

Luffy gave one last advice.

As he and Victor left the box, the evening outside had come to an end, and it was a sign of darkness.

Heaven and earth were shrouded in a haze.

Jace waited outside while watching Lux and the others play Monopoly, which he thought was quite interesting.

When he saw the two of them coming out, he greeted them: "Disturb Your Highness today, we will leave first." ”

"Well, don't send it if you go slowly." Lu Qi smiled, looked at Victor and said, "I'll send someone to bring you something later." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Victor bowed again.

The two quickly left the store and sat on the carriage, Jace glanced at Victor and said with a smile: "I feel that your complexion has been much better recently, is the medicine given to you by His Highness effective?" ”

"Hmm." Victor nodded, "It works." I prescribed follow-up medicine today, and I will be more relaxed in the future. ”

"That's good." Jace breathed a sigh of relief.

He vaguely felt that Victor's state was not right, and he had already found a way to find it in private.

Now that I see that the problem seems to be solved, it can be regarded as a relief of my heart.

For this confidant, Jace really didn't want to see anything happen to him.

In the store.

The new round of Monopoly was won by Seraphine as the richest man, and her punishment was to be the last one to perform the monkey dance.

The unlucky Jinx was the last one, and after dancing as a monkey with an unconvinced face, he suddenly blushed when he looked at the expressions of others who were smiling and the loud laughter of Lux in his ears.

Seraphine covered her mouth and snickered, looking out, only to realize that it was getting dark.

"Is it already so late?"

She had a feeling in her heart that time was passing so fast.

"It's not too late, let's open another plate!"

Jinx was unconvinced and planned to regain his strength.

The others also looked at Seraphine.

"Okay, I'm going home." Seraphine subconsciously wanted to agree, but her parents' faces suddenly flashed in her mind.

I suddenly remembered that I had been away from home for a day, and my parents were probably worried about it at this time.

"Okay."

Lux hadn't had enough fun yet, and her tone was inevitably a little pity, she said, "It's still here tomorrow, remember to come early, and we'll continue." ”

Seraphine nodded her head vigorously, "Uh-huh." ”

I feel inexplicably happy in my heart, this feeling is like making an appointment with my friends to see you tomorrow when I was a child.

With such a mood blessing, Seraphine was jumping and jumping on the way home, very brisk.

On the streets in the evening, many people in Picheng saw a cute pink-haired girl, full of youthful atmosphere.

Back in the familiar neighborhood, I heard a greeting in my ears.

"Why can I see you so late, Seraphine, I seem to be in a good mood today."

"Uh-huh, good evening, Aunt Anetta."

Seraphine smiled a sunny smile at Arnetta.

It made Anetta stunned for a moment, and said with a half-loud smile: "This kid, what's wrong today." ”

Seraphine was the one she grew up watching, and she had always felt pity for the little girl when she had suffered some unfortunate things in her childhood.

When we meet occasionally, the little girl is also very polite, but she has always been like a mosquito.

Today looks full of strength, and she is inexplicably happy for her.

Seraphine had already arrived in front of her shop, and when she opened the door, she suddenly saw the two faces of her parents.

They had worried expressions on their faces, but when they saw her, they immediately smiled thankfully.

"Don't say a word where you girl went."

"Your father and I have searched the surrounding area, and if you come back later, we'll both consider going to the sheriff."

"Not next time."

Even if the two of them accused, they were remarkably gentle.

While Seraphine was warm in her heart, she showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't know I could come back so late." Something happened today."

"Looks like a good thing."

Bria, who knew her, smiled.

"Yes, today I found that music maestro and then I also met a lot of interesting friends. They also invited me to a special lunch, called hot pot, which is a hot pot with a lot of delicious food cooked in it. ”

Seraphine didn't know where to start sharing her journey today.

But both Potter and Bria listened patiently with a soft smile on their faces, and at the same time there was a feeling of tears in their eyes.

's own social fear daughter has finally made new friends.

When she was a child, she was very lively and good at making friends.

But since that happened, I've been locking myself up at home, and I've rarely had contact with outsiders.

"They invited me to go back tomorrow, okay?"

With that, Seraphine looked cautiously at her parents.

"Of course." Briya stepped forward, gently touched her hair, and said with some emotion, "In a blink of an eye, you are taller than me." ”

"You're already an adult, and you can make your own decisions about a lot of things." Potter was also behind, smiling, "We're all glad you're willing to engage with the outside world." ”

With her parents' permission, Seraphine was even happier.

She went back to her room upstairs, turned on the light, and the first thing she did was carefully pasted the precious signature she had obtained today in a conspicuous place on her desk.

Make sure to see it first and foremost at all times.

When everything was done, Seraphine wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly sat down.

With her arms on the window and her chin propped up, the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked up into a smirk.

It feels like a truly fulfilling and special day today.

At this time, she remembered something, reached out and touched the suppressor on her ear.

In those clear eyes, there was a slight glint of luster, and looking at the passing crowd outside the window, I was a little distracted.

On the other side, Heimerdinger's workshop.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Right away."

As there was a knock on the door, there was a rush of footsteps, and the door opened.

Heimerdinger's small figure is revealed, wearing overalls and goggles, as if he is inventing something.

Looking at Jace standing at the door, a smile appeared on his face and he moved out of the way: "Come in." ”

Jace followed Heimerdinger into the room, and respectfully found a place to sit down.

"Relax, it's not a formal occasion."

Heimerdinger looked at him with a slightly reserved look, smiled, put on his goggles, walked to the workbench, jumped on the tailor-made chair, and continued to spell out.

But he continued, "It looks like you've made the decision. ”

"Yes, Professor."

Jace took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "It's just that I want to ask your opinion before making a final decision." ”

Heimerdinger stopped his movements and turned to look at him: "If one day in the future I am gone, will you have to find me and ask when you encounter a choice?" ”

Jace was stunned for a moment.

Heimerdinger laughed, "You never need someone else's opinion in your life. You yourself are the shining sun, so why should you borrow the light of the moon? Don't underestimate yourself too much, Jace, you're important. So important that the council must now take you into account. Now that you've made a decision in your mind, whatever it is, go ahead and execute it. ”

Jace listened silently and took another deep breath, "I see, Professor. I want to support Picheng's alliance with Demacia. ”

"Yes." Heimerdinger nodded, "It's a whole new direction for Pitts. But just like science, we might as well give it a try. ”

As night comes.

Inside Luki's shop.

And they were ready to pack up and go home.

The distance between the two sides is not very far, so it is more convenient to go back and forth.

Before leaving, Lux prepares some 'tributes', all of which are some of her favorite snacks.

What gummies, cakes, cookies. There was one of each, and it was placed in front of the statue of the bluebird she had brought back that day.

Then he folded his hands and said in his mouth: "I hope you can like these tributes, please bless me tomorrow's Monopoly will be killed." ”

After praying earnestly, she called it a day with satisfaction: "Let's go!" ”

Since she took the lead, others naturally prayed in front of the statue.

When it was all over and the door closed, Oryna limped home, while the rest of the group got into the carriage and soon returned home.
