Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

"Ahhh... By the way, Masters, how are my mother and Alice doing lately?"

asked Masters at this time, his tone a little relieved.

"Miss is just getting better today, but Mrs. Lusha's symptoms have worsened, and today Master Char will invite a medical expert from Columbi to come and diagnose Mrs. Lusha's illness."

"Alas... The old man is also quite difficult, and he has spent a lot of money for his wife.

Master let out a long sigh, and the wrinkles seemed to have become a lot more.

“...... I know, tonight Masters you help me let the wind go, I'm going to do everything I can to go into Lornes' house to see my mother.

Fick pondered for a moment, his tone becoming categorical.

"Okay, Master Fick, Master Char began to relax a little last night, I will assist you, no matter what, it is too much not to let a son visit his sick mother.

Masters also answered Fick in a decisive tone.

......

And night came as scheduled.

The interior of the Lornes mansion was indeed much more relaxed as Masters said, and Fick returned home with the help of Masters through the shadows in the corners and a series of covers.

"It feels like it's not as warm as it used to be..."

That was the only thing Fick felt, he felt was getting colder and strange than before.

Fika stayed in the library all day and night, Alice was on bed rest most of the time, and Lusha was sick and needed care at all times.

Since when are the days gone forever?

Fick first knocked lightly on Alice's door.

"Is it Grandpa Master?"

came Alice's somewhat fearful voice from inside, but Fick breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

"It's me... Fick.

Alice inside clearly exclaimed in surprise:

"Ah... Quick, come in, or let Dad see it.

Fick quickly pulled the door open and closed it faster, but there was no sound, and at this moment he seemed to be the softest step of Philin or the fastest and most silent Zarak.

"Good evening... Alice.

Fick turned around, and Alice saw for the first time the appearance of Fick, who had been away for a long time—unkempt, long hair that had reached behind his shoulders, a dirty coat, and the smell of soil and humus in it.

"Ah, Fick, how did you get so dirty.

Alice took out her handkerchief from her bedside, wiped the dirt and dust off Fick's face with her own hands, and said to Fick in a somewhat distressed tone:

"Dad recently... Mention you to the fire, and I can't go out most of the time... I'm really worried about you... Fick... Brother.

Fick smiled and said to Alice

, "Thank you for your concern, Alice, and to be honest,

I don't hate my father until now.

His insight was too shallow, and like the so-called teachers and professors in the school, shoddy discarded knowledge filled every groove in his brain.

"But he's still my father, and I'll prove to him my path, sooner or later, it will."

Alice took Fick's hand and said,

"I... Trust you, Brother Fick, I'm waiting for that day. "

Alice... Alice....

That day will come soon, and Fick will no longer hide his nature, and the steel radish mine will be taken to a new peak by him, but then... You are so....

Afraid of this brother of yours, your... Fick.

......

After exchanging pleasantries with Alice for a while, Fick said goodbye to her, and then quietly walked around a few corridors to his mother, Lusha, in front of her mother's room.

"Ahem... Ahem. Just

as he came to the door and was about to knock, Fick could already hear his mother's very violent but muffled cough.

Knock on it....

Fick's hand was in midair, and it took about three seconds before he knocked on Lusha's door.

"Is it

Fick?"

The voice was hoarse and distressing Fick, and this time Fick opened the door without Lusha's permission, and then quickly but quietly closed the door.

"Well, Mom... I'm Fick.

Fick rushed forward and knelt down on one knee by Lusha's bedside.

At

this time, his mother's face was already very pale, this strange disease was not an ore disease, but the pain was like a devil entangled in Lusha's weak body.

"Mom... Your body... How so..."

Fick bit his lip, only felt the pain of his heart tearing, since he was a child, his father Char was harsh and reprimanded most of the time, but Lusha was gentle and caring.

When Fick wavered in her heart about the path she was exploring, it was also Lusha, her mother, who was not strong and not smart, who was the first to stand up for her.

If she can one day make a fortune and make a lot of money, her mother must find someone to serve her like the twin queens of Letania.

Fick secretly made a decision in his heart, and his fists clenched with it.

"Fick... You...... I've lost a lot of weight... Char that... Ahem... Ruthless old stubborn... I really want to... Ahem... Pump hard with a feather duster ... His ass.

Her own mother was even more distressed to hold Fick's hand, but it was clear that her face was even thinner at this time, and she could even see her cheekbones and sunken eye sockets.

"Father... That's right.

Fick shook his head and said to his mother

, "It's just that he's too short-sighted, and Masters is right, when you have knowledge hundreds of years later,

you will basically tell you as a joke to most people in this land."

"So I'm looking now... Those so-called 'few'.

His mother nodded and said gratifyingly

, "Then go ahead, Fick,

I've always believed you."

"When you were little, you even said that you could put the clouds in the sky... Ahem becomes a real Kuranta knight, and then your sister and you sit on it and charge with him. "

I believe, I firmly believe, I am convinced.

"Because you're ... Fick, Fick Logs, you are my son.

Fick's eyes were unprecedentedly firm, and he said to her:

"Mom, please rest assured, I have asked Master to find a way to get a source stone computer, and I will use it to integrate my series of theories into papers and publish them abroad."

"At that time, there will definitely be people willing to fund me, or even invest in the steel radish mine, and our days will definitely get better, because your son... He is a genius in source stone veinology.

"Please wait, this day will definitely not be far away."

Lusha let out a few violent coughs, but her tone was very calm:

"I will definitely see that day, no matter where I am." "

Fick... There are some still warm tumor milk at the head of the bed, you take it and drink it, this body has no strength... Otherwise, I really want to feed you the same as when I was a child..."

Fick silently picked up the pot of lump milk at the end of the bed, filled it in a small cup, handed it to his mother, and said:

"Come, mother, I feed you, you don't need to raise your hand, you just need to open your mouth slightly."

Lusha didn't speak, but obediently let Fick feed all the remaining tumor milk cup by cup, and after drinking, her cough also eased a lot.

"Fick... Yourself...... Don't drink a little either, the nearby bazaar ... Already closed, you these days... I'm afraid it's not all... Drink the rain..."

said Lusha as she breathed deeply and said to Fick.

"It's all filtered... Clean water, don't worry, my physique is okay, and some ordinary parasites will be killed by my immune system.

Fick said softly to his mother.

"Master Fick.

At this moment, Master's somewhat hurried shout came from the small window on the side of the room.

"What's wrong, Masters?"

said Fick immediately in a low voice but with a steady timbre.

"Master Char led the doctor who came to Brother to arrive, and he was about to diagnose Lady Lusha's condition.

What Master didn't say was that the doctor was frowning the whole time, obviously thinking about something not very good, but he didn't talk to Fick at this time.

Fick frowned and asked Master,

"Can I find a quiet and secluded place around here to listen, I want to know how this doctor judges my mother's condition, so I can make the next decision."

Master's voice hesitated, but said,

"No... Master Fick... As soon as Master Char comes over, this neighborhood will be put on high alert, there is no such place to observe, and I will inform you of Lady Lusha's situation as soon as possible the next day.

Fick sighed, and finally decided to come back the next day, so he said

to Master: "I see, Master, thank you for your help."

Master Master replied:

"This is what I should do, Master Fick, I have purchased the source stone computer in my private name, and now I am going through the logistics channel, and it will probably be delivered tomorrow."

Fick clapped his hands lightly and said to Masters:

"So... My paper is almost ready, and when the time comes, I will publish it abroad, and someone will definitely be willing to sponsor me.

Then, reluctantly leaving a kiss on the back of his mother's hand, Fick said

, "Please wait for me, my mother, it's just a little,

just a little."

Lusha smiled and said to Fick,

"I'll wait for you... Certain.

In the end, Fick said goodbye to Lusha, and then, under Master's direction, climbed over with some raised stones from a low point in the wall of the Lornes mansion.

Subsequently, because of the deep night, Fick also felt a thick fatigue and burnout, and recently because of the high and intensive operation of his mind, Fick has hardly slept a good night's sleep.

After saying goodbye to Masters, he once again came to the forest behind the Lornes mansion, where there was a simple army-green tent that he had built himself.

In the first week, due to lack of experience and rain, I was awakened alive by water.

"Mother... Please also recover as soon as possible... Soon...... Soon you will be able to see your son grow.

Fick lay lightly on his back in the tent and muttered to himself.
