In fact.
Like scientists, wizards had their own specializations. The gap between schools of thought was even bigger than the gap between disciplines because it not only involved knowledge but also power!
It was not easy to find an official wizard who specialized in biological knowledge. Even if he could find one, Boris could not simply come into contact with them.
Even if he could come into contact with them, it was impossible for him to be at ease with these mysterious people.
And Elvin's existence perfectly solved all his concerns.
They set off in the evening and arrived at their destination the next morning – the southernmost colony of Faletis, Aimor Peninsula, Far Sail Territory.
Boris had served in the New World for so many years. Although his military rank was not high, he still had some savings.
In the capital of Far Sail Territory, which was also an excellent port city near the sea, there was a stone garden bungalow built completely according to Faletis standards.
Although the area was not too big, the supporting facilities here were complete, convenient, and most importantly, safe enough!
At least in the frontline colonization of the New World, massacres by the Atreans that came out of nowhere happened every year.
And with the Marquis of Far Sail, Duke Aimor, who was a Grand Knight, in charge, this city was one of the safest places in all of Faletis' colonies.
"Hahaha, come after me!"
"I'll let you have a taste of my firearms! Bang, bang, bang! "
"Firearms are nothing, my swordsmanship is still better, die!"
A group of eight or nine years old children, holding wooden firearms and longswords in their hands, passed by the somewhat quiet door.
Under the morning sun.
Under an orange tree in the courtyard, a young boy with a thin blanket on his legs was sitting on a wooden chair reading a book, but he was obviously a little absent-minded.
Especially when he heard the noise outside the door, he could not help but raise his head to listen, and the pages of the opened book did not turn for a long time.
The young boy's age was about twelve or thirteen years old, and he had the same pale blonde hair and white skin as Boris. There was no sign of illness on his face. He was no different from the lively children outside.
Beside him, a slightly plump mixed-blood Mastizo woman was guarding him closely, trying to persuade him to return to his room.
Indeed.
Although Far Sail Harbor was a subtropical zone that didn't freeze all year round, the temperature in winter mornings was only about 16 degrees Celsius, which wasn't friendly for a "patient."
"It's okay, Aunt Vera. I'm not that weak yet."
"Young Master Calvin …"
At this moment.
Creak — —
The sudden sound of the door opening startled the teenager who was about to argue with the servant.
He raised his head and found that the person who came in was actually Boris, who was supposed to be on a mission. He immediately put down the book in his hand and exclaimed in surprise,
"Dad! Why are you back? "
Boris, who knew that his son had difficulty moving, hurriedly stepped forward and held his shoulders.
"Calvin, why didn't you listen to Vera? What if you get sick while reading outside in winter? "
"It's fine. I don't want to stay in the room all day. The air outside is still fresh.
Look, this is the bookmark I picked up in the yard! What do you think? Pretty, right? "
As he spoke, he flipped open the book on his knees and showed Boris a few dried leaves between the pages as if he was showing off a treasure.
Ever since he got sick, picking up a few leaves in the yard was one of the few exercises he could do now.
Who could tell that he was once an Apprentice Knight who had practiced swordsmanship for four years and was stronger than many adults?
Looking at his son's seemingly happy side profile under the sunlight, Boris felt a wave of bitterness. He tilted his head slightly to hide the inexplicable emotions in his eyes and kept nodding and praising.
"Nice, nice!"
At this moment, Calvin also noticed Elvin who was following behind Boris. Although he was dressed casually, he had a straight posture and an extraordinary temperament.
He asked Boris, "Dad, who is this?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce him to you. This is Colonel Elvin Garriott, the captain of the battleship Storm Cape that Dad is serving on!"
"Elvin Garriott … You are the kingdom's" Rising Star of the Navy ", Captain Elvin! The nemesis of scurvy! Is it really you? "
In an instant.
The teenager's face revealed the expression of a fan meeting his idol. He waved his arms excitedly.
Since his legs had problems two years ago, reading newspapers had become one of Calvin's few pastimes.
Although news from the mainland reaching the New World was no longer news, it did not prevent Calvin from seeing the most dazzling star of the new generation of the Faletis Navy in the past two years.
Elvin did not expect to have his own "fans" in the New World.
Tap tap tap …
He stepped in front of the teenager, reached out his right hand and shook his hand. He smiled and greeted,
"Hello, Calvin!
Mr. Boris is an excellent gunnery expert. We can only sail the battleship on the sea if we work together.
After all, no matter how powerful a captain is, he can't go to sea alone, right? "
Shaking Elvin's hand, the teenager could not suppress his excitement.
For the boys of this era, the brave and romantic life of a sailor was the dream of most of them.
The famous naval officers and adventurers who had completed some kind of unknown exploration became the star characters that they talked about with great relish!
Their influence was not inferior to the current international superstars.
"Dad is amazing, but you are even better!
Captain, ever since I was a child, my dream has always been to become a great captain like you.
You have been my idol since a long time ago. "
After chatting for a while and patiently answering a few questions to satisfy the teenager's wish to chase after stars, Elvin gave Boris a look and walked out first.
In the meantime.
The two of them did not say that they were here to treat him.
Because even the wizards of the "School of Activation" did not dare to say that they knew the human body like the back of their hand, especially in the Transcendent World, there were too many strange diseases. Elvin himself did not dare to say that he could cure all diseases.
He was afraid that after giving Calvin hope that he should not have, he would be greeted with greater disappointment.
He walked out of the courtyard.
Boris explained his son's condition to Elvin in a low voice.
"Calvin's legs were stiff and weak at first, and he walked with a scissor-like gait.
But now, two years later, he has completely lost the ability to walk. Although he still retains consciousness, his muscles have begun to atrophy, and he can't react.
And this situation is getting worse over time, and it has spread to his waist. If it continues to spread, it may no longer be a matter of whether he can walk or not … "
Then, he looked expectantly at Elvin's face.
Elvin nodded slightly and said, "You're right.
"If this continues, it is very likely to affect the upper limbs and even the respiratory system.
It will cause the respiratory muscles to be weak, and then respiratory failure.
In this process, the body's various functions seem to be frozen, and one can only watch the whole body become paralyzed step by step and finally usher in death!
50% of patients with this disease die within three years after the onset, 20% can live for five years, and 10% can live for ten years. But it is extremely rare to live for more than 30 years.
This is under the premise of using all kinds of equipment and meticulous care. "
Hearing the first half of Elvin's words, Boris's face was ashen, as if he had heard the death sentence for his son.
But after hearing the last part, his eyes suddenly bloomed with an astonishing brilliance, and he grabbed Elvin's arm.
"Sir Captain! Have you seen many people with this disease before? Can Calvin's situation be saved? "
"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have some understanding of this disease through some other channels."
Obviously, Elvin had identified this strange disease that doctors and priests were helpless against.
Although it was a rare disease.
But in Elvin's previous life, it was widely known because of a great physicist, and many people even called the public to pay attention to this group through the "Ice Bucket Challenge".
That was the famous "Lou Gehrig's Disease"!
It was also at that time that Elvin looked up some information about this rare disease. Now that he saw the symptoms on Calvin's body, he dug it out from the depths of his memory.
It was no wonder that this doctor and priest were helpless.
Even in the modern society with relatively advanced medicine, the cause of this disease could not be determined, let alone in this world where medicine was extremely backward.
However, looking at Boris's eager eyes, Elvin slowly said what he had always wanted to hear.
"I … should be able to give it a try."
In his memory.
"Lou Gehrig's Disease" was actually a common name for a group of motor neuron diseases.
Because the motor neuron cells in the patient's brain, brain stem, and spinal cord were invaded, the patient's muscles gradually atrophied and became weak, to the point of paralysis. The body was gradually frozen, so it was commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease".
If he was not a wizard, even if he was not a wizard of the "School of Revitalization", he might be completely helpless against this disease.
However, whether it was the "School of Life" or the current "School of Revitalization", the field that they were best at was the activation of plants, animals, and even inorganic objects!
Even in the fourth volume of the inheritance scroll, [Revitalization of Dead Objects], could create miracles without the need for scientific principles.
For example, Revitalization of Witchcraft Guards, Revitalization of Stone Statues, Revitalization of Steel Puppets, and so on. Not to mention that they did not have a nervous system, they did not even have a single strand of hair.
Under the effect of the "School of Revitalization" witchcraft, they could still be alive and kicking.
A motor neuron that had lost its function should not be more difficult to activate than those things, right?
No more hesitation.
Both of them returned to the courtyard. Facing Calvin's puzzled gaze, Elvin directly made his move.
There was no need for rituals, no need for various spellcasting materials.
Elvin simply raised his index finger.
He gently spat out a syllable that was so rich in vitality that it seemed like even the stones were about to come alive:
Acti —
The magic light at his fingertips flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it had already hit the young man on the chair.
[Talent Spell- Revitalizing Spirit Light]
The energy of astonishing vitality entered Calvin's body like a wave of water. Then, Elvin completely released the control of this spell-like spell, letting Calvin take over on his own.
"I'm …"
Under Boris's incredulous gaze, Calvin's leg moved slightly, then a second time.
"My leg … can move?"
At this time, the young man had long ignored the incomprehensible scene just now.
Unable to suppress the surprise in his heart, the young man was about to stand up, but because of the atrophy of his muscles, he did not have the strength to support his standing. He was about to fall to the ground.
Whoosh —
The sharp-eyed Boris had already flashed to his side like the wind and supported his son.
He seemed to be even more excited than Calvin. His lips were trembling as he kept repeating:
"That's great! That's great! … "
Clap —
Elvin clapped his hands lightly and gave medical advice:
"'Revitalizing Spirit Light' is indeed very effective!
Calvin's current situation should be similar to long-term muscle atrophy. As long as he persists in a certain amount of massage, exercise, and recuperation, he should be able to slowly recover to his original level.
Then, he can continue to train as a Knight.
Perhaps after completing the extraordinary transformation, the power of the body's qualitative change might be able to cover this unknown illness.
Of course, it's also possible that even a Knight's body is not immune. "
Looking at the extremely excited father and son, Elvin then poured a bucket of cold water on them.
"The only problem now is that the 'Revitalizing Spirit Light' can only last for a limited time. With my current ability, I can't do it once and for all.
But, perhaps there's another way to try. "
As he spoke, he took out a white crystal that had been enchanted with witchcraft from his "Magic Pocket".
The effect was similar to the tool used by "Blood Hand" to abduct children. It could roughly determine whether a person had the potential to become a Wizard.
"Come, Calvin, catch."
Clap!
The youth reached out and caught the crystal thrown by Elvin. Holding it in his palm, he looked doubtfully at his "idol" who had suddenly become somewhat mysterious.
Then, he saw him give him a mysterious smile.
"Congratulations, Calvin!
You're very lucky. You have the potential to become a Wizard. "
His heart skipped a beat.
The youth lowered his head and looked at the crystal that suddenly emitted a gentle white light. He muttered the term that seemed to carry a mysterious magic power:
"Wizard?!"
Clap —
Elvin snapped his fingers lightly.
"Just like this."
The empty chair behind the young man suddenly stood up on its two front legs and began to gallop in the courtyard like a pony.
Seeing this scene, the youth's eyes suddenly lit up.
That kind of brilliance was unprecedented!
