Roddy was also thinking about this. With his first wife's reminder, he sighed softly. "Ah, the situation doesn't look good. I need to observe for a few days."
With that, he sent Kardashian out of the lab. His first wife went to her bedroom to rest. Roddy looked at the time. It was already early in the morning. Sally should be asleep by now. But he still went to the queen's room not far away and asked the servant at the door.
"Her Majesty is not asleep yet."
The servant outside the door reported in a low voice. Roddy froze for a moment and then asked her to go in and report. Soon, he saw the queen in front of the fireplace in the living room.
The High Elf Magic Tower originally had no fireplace, but this place had been remodeled according to the original Lucifron Ducal Palace. It wasn't exactly the same, but the sense of intimacy made Sally like it very much. This was what Roddy had said casually, and Edith had carried it out very thoroughly.
The fireplace didn't need any firewood because the temperature in the Magic Tower was already pleasant. The fireplace here only had a magic circle that emitted heat. Sally sat in an armchair in front of the fireplace, her face pale. Seeing Roddy come in, she wanted to get up but was held down.
"It's so late. Why aren't you sleeping?"
Roddy felt a little sorry for her. He quickly walked to Sally and held her hand. The queen was usually full of energy, but now she looked tired and her hand was unusually cold.
"I couldn't sleep in bed, so I sat for a while." Sally tried to smile. "I heard you've been talking with the Dragons. How is it?"
Although she said that, Rody knew that she must have been worried and had been waiting here all this time.
"It's all within expectations. It's not a big deal."
Talking about these things with the Dragons was a milestone achievement, but Roddy was not interested in boasting with her. He was worried about Sally's condition and asked, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"I wouldn't say that I'm uncomfortable. It's just that I feel weak all over. When I close my eyes, I feel a little dizzy."
Sally told him the truth. She was wearing a loose nightgown and sitting next to him, casually leaning against the back of the chair. This posture was a little lazy, but Roddy knew that she would not be like this in the past. If there was no one around, she would sit on his lap and talk.
This abnormality made Roddy purse his lips slightly. In fact, he had asked her a few times before and knew that the debuff did not cause her any unbearable pain. However, it was obvious that Sally had not been resting well for the past few days. After such a long time, even an iron man would not be able to bear it.
"Is the scepter still not reacting?"
Roddy glanced over. The Viper's Kiss was leaning against Sally's leg, but its aura was now restrained, and it looked like an ordinary wooden stick.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a long time." Sally shook her head and then spoke of her worries. "I even suspect that it can't wake up anymore, because no matter what I do, I can't get any response, not even a sign of improvement."
Because Sally slept late, the bags under her eyes were very obvious. Her sleepy eyes drooped, but she still forced herself to talk to Roddy. This scene made his heart ache, but there was nothing he could do. He reached out and picked up the scepter to take a look. In his vision, the words "Viper's Kiss" had turned gray, which meant that the attributes and writing on it were no longer valid.
The quest panel did not trigger the relevant mission, and he could not find any clues elsewhere. Roddy was a little anxious. He thought for a moment and whispered, "I'll go and ask Lord Morlars. At least it won't be a problem to let you have a good sleep."
Sally pulled him back. "If you want to sleep, there are many ways. There are also divine spells. I just don't feel like sleeping now … "
"Well, then I'll accompany you."
Roddy did not ask anything else. He just asked the maid to bring warm milk tea. The two were silent for a moment, and then Sally said, "Will the kingdom become strong in the future?"
"Yes, the Kingdom of Karen is destined to become the overlord of this world. The standard of living of the people will get higher and higher, and everyone will be able to eat. "
After he finished, Sally looked at the magic circle in the fireplace. "I'm afraid that father never thought of such a future."
In the end, she added in a low voice, "I don't know if I can live to see that day …"
Rody was horrified. These calm words made his back break out in cold sweat. Turning his head, he found that Sally was smiling at him, but her expression was far from her usual cheerful and sunny expression. Instead, it was a stiff smile that she was trying hard to maintain despite her reluctance.
"Roddy, I feel that … this time, we may not be able to make it."
Sally's voice was very calm, but she said the truth that he had been worried about but had been hiding. Roddy suddenly clenched his fists, and then quickly loosened them. He frowned and replied, "Don't talk nonsense!"
His tone was a little heavy. Roddy then tried to ease it. "I have come into contact with the power of the gods. Artifacts and gods are not the same. This problem is not without a solution. You haven't slept well for a few days, and you start to think nonsense? "
Although he said so, Roddy's heart was beating fast. In fact, he was really helpless. Now he could not find a way to solve this problem … But how did Sally know? How did she find out that she had a debuff that could not be dispelled?
Her Majesty stretched out her hand. It seemed that it was a little difficult for her to lift her arm. Only then did Roddy realize that Sally was weaker than she showed. During the day, he only observed Sally's attributes. But now it seemed that a person's "health" was full did not mean that her physical condition was good.
How stubborn was Sally? When she escaped from a certain death situation, her mind could be said to be tough. Later, he became the famous "White Sickle" in the Rose Cross Kingdom. Although he was young, his Majesty was completely different from the children of the royal family who had been pampered since young. He was a ruthless character who had been through real battles.
Such a person suddenly said that she "could not go on", it was often not a joke.
"You don't know magic, how would you know the knack of this."
Sally held his hand as if she wanted to use force, but Roddy felt that she could only gently pinch him. He lowered his eyes and replied softly, "If magic can't cure it, there will always be a way to cure it. In this world, magic is not the only thing that can cure diseases, right? "
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Sally shook her head. "I can feel that … when I first activated this artifact scepter, I had a strange connection with it. In the following days, when my strength increased, it would also become stronger. If I became tired, it would stay the same. "
