I continued my ideas even in the mean time. My coronary heart was pounding prefer it was going to blow up.

Then yet one more query arose. If Gerald’s the regressor, the time traveler I assumed he’d be, why did he assist me make the Nisephor medication?

No. Relatively, those that helped us had information far forward of us.

How might he try this?

Clearly, earlier than I went again, the Nisephor drug had not been developed. My thoughts was far and wide.

Gerald checked out me as if he knew I used to be taking a look at him.

I couldn’t learn any of the solutions I wished from his eyes.

“Lulu?”

The voice calling me was tender.

“Why are you taking a look at me like that? What’s unsuitable with you?”

Gerald grabbed me with a frightened look.

“Lulu!”

He pressed me for a solution. I reached out and grabbed Gerald’s shoulder.

Greater than anything, the one factor I’ve ever wished to ask.

Why did you try this to me?

Why did you flip away from me?

Why did you make me really feel lonely?

My lips quivered. Nevertheless, I used to be conscious that these questions weren’t acceptable to convey up now. This was my dad’s bed room.

And my dad was nonetheless unconscious.

I grabbed Gerald by the wrist. For some purpose, I used to be anticipating to search out out all of the solutions this time.

If my guess was unsuitable, my sudden doubt would have come from ineffective expectations and delusions.

“It’s nothing, Gerald.”

Solely then did Gerald breathe a sigh of aid. I knew that everybody within the bed room was watching me.

“I have to relaxation just a little.”

I wanted time to arrange my ideas, too.

“Effectively, I’ll be right here, so take a relaxation,” my grandaunt mentioned.

“Sure, Grandaunt”

I hugged my grandaunt tightly and kissed her on the cheek. In return, she patted me on the again.

Regardless of the fact was, my grandaunt’s fingers have been nonetheless heat.

Louella left to relaxation for some time. Gerald hesitated then adopted.

Solely Billiers and Louella’s aunt, Unelli, remained within the bed room. The physician was additionally away for some time. Billiers glanced at Unelli.

Unelli had taught Billiers up to now as an advisor to the Nippler Academy.

Billiers remembered all of Unelli’s classes. The category was at all times groundbreaking.

Unelli knew find out how to make particular use of extraordinary grasses that have been simply accessible.

She additionally taught her college students find out how to use toxic weeds as medicinal herbs and vice versa.

Unelli’s class had an awesome affect on Billiers’ preparation of Nisephor medicine.

“It’s been a very long time since I noticed you, trainer.”

“Billiers, it’s been a very long time since we met. I didn’t anticipate to see you want this.”

It was the primary time the 2 had met since Unelli resigned as an adviser.

“Me, too. I didn’t anticipate to see you right here.”

“You probably did a superb job. You’ll save many lives.”

“It’s all due to you, my trainer. With out your instructing, I wouldn’t be who I’m now.”

“Effectively, it’s all of your arduous work, not my instructing.”

Unelli smiled softly.

“However I suppose I nonetheless have a protracted technique to go.”

Billiers turned his head and stared on the Grand Duke of Leander, who had but to get up. Arthur was asleep with a pale face.

Inside him, Nisephor and the medicine can be combating. In Billiers’ eyes, it appeared to be in sight.

“What makes you assume so?”

“……Aftermath. Nisephor leaves a mark.” Billiers spoke in a wretched, wistful voice.

“Aftermath. No medication will be good.”

“Sure…”

“However.” Unelli continued.

“There’s a manner for the drugs to be good.”

Billiers stared at Unelli with a startled look.

“There’s no scarcity of your medication, Billiers. I additionally learn your paper. For my part, there was nothing missing in your medication. Apart from one factor.”

“What’s it?”

His coronary heart began beating quick.

He felt like Unelli would educate him the reply that Billiers couldn’t discover. Unelli was additionally an impressive medical scientist.

There was additionally a historical past of in-depth analysis on the physique.

“Your medication relies on mana stone. However mana stone is just not a substance that may combine properly with the human physique. It doesn’t mix properly with different elements.”

“……That’s proper.”

“I feel that was the explanation behind why it leaves aftereffects.”

“Are you saying that the physique isn’t in a position to take in all the drugs?”

“Sure, that’s it.”

“Then…” He paused. “What technique ought to I take advantage of?”
