In many places, magicians are still regarded as an unlucky symbol, and the girl lives her life as she wishes.

The only problem is that after the age of 16, time seems to have forgotten her. From then on, at the age of 20, 30, 40... until her parents looked at her like a monster, she understood that it was time. Left my hometown.

Not only is she immortal, she will not be troubled by any disease, and all injuries she suffers will be healed in an instant. If there is such a thing as "the grace of the world", Matryshka is undoubtedly the one who is loved.

But she felt that this was the worst curse, and she began to commit suicide constantly, drowning, hanging, and taking poison... to no avail. She even jumped into the crater of a volcano, but found nothing but pain. It was so painful that her skin, flesh and bones were constantly being burned. , but couldn't keep up with the speed of rebirth, so in the end she had to swim up.

It has been 60 years since then.

In the past 60 years, she has been to too many countries that she can't remember. Doctors, witches, and wizards all wanted to solve her illness.

Those people removed her limbs and head, studied the blood and bone marrow, and made almost crazy efforts to understand the secret of immortality.

Of course, nothing was gained.

How much pain and suffering has passed?I can't remember it now.

Nowadays, when talking about this kind of thing to others, the girl still has a lively smile on her face, as if she is telling a ridiculous story.

Xidi glanced at her clothes, and she said that they were remade according to the style she liked in her hometown. According to the book, that style was indeed popular nearly 70 years ago.

What's important is that he felt the breath of time, just like when he first met Lucela, no, it was the first time he met Natasha, the four-hundred-year-old witch from the Walled Country, who said The past tense is like seeing it with your own eyes, like dead leaves witnessing autumn.

As a result, because the topic was too heavy, even Irena didn't know what to say, so she looked at her senior brother for help.

So young people...

"I don't know why, but after the first death, my body felt a lot heavier and I couldn't use magic anymore. Thank you for this time."

The undead looked at Irena with longing eyes.

"Also, can Miss Irena turn into a cat again? I haven't seen them in a long time."

After talking about such a heavy past, she seemed not to be affected at all. She seemed to have given up on herself and had no hope for the future. Her smile did not change at all.

——What can a person like me do? It’s useless.

That's probably how it feels.

Usually people with this kind of thinking have either been buried, or are on the way to find opportunities to be buried. It is difficult to meet normal people. For Irena, this is the first time.

"No, I'm not a cat. By the way, aren't you allergic to cats?"

"It doesn't work anymore. You can hug and knead it casually. This is rare good news. I even touched a tiger. Although it was eaten a little, it's not a big problem."

"Really, haha, that's really great..."

He is obviously a guy who is always smiling, but he seems to be exuding a negative atmosphere all the time, and the topic keeps going in a heavy direction.

Fortunately, Xidi once again used the all-purpose weather discussion method to discuss the weather issues for the coming week with her.

Just when it was said that it would rain on Thursday, a group of buildings appeared in the field of vision.

It's a place called the Republic of Anruni. There seems to be an epidemic of some kind of epidemic recently. Until now, it still seems to be unable to do anything. It can only be suppressed with some drugs. Xidi accepted the commission from the association branch in a nearby country.

It doesn't look very serious at the moment.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Matryshka is a strange person.

But this is understandable. There are some differences between people who live to live and people who live to die.

……

For various complicated reasons, after arriving in this place called the Republic of Anruni, the coral-colored girl still chose to follow them, using the excuse that she was "interested in death from illness."

This reminded Xidi of a saying from the East, "If you hit a snake, follow it with a stick." This guy seemed to be a carefree and careless character, but he seemed to have an instinctive and vague sense of human hearts during his long journey.

Just like Natasha and Lucela, one can judge a person's general style with just one glance.

It's a pity, maybe in her opinion, the two travelers in front of her are both good people.

"Miss Mary, I can't afford to travel with one more person," the junior sister couldn't say it, but Xidi didn't shy away from it. "Even if you travel with us, it will only be in this country at most."

"Yeah," she said with the same smile, "Don't worry, Matlishka won't do anything annoying."

"I feel like it is now."

She blinked and leaned over, "Do you hate it?"

"Meow meow."

Irena, who turned into a cat again, slapped her on the head with her paw, and Mary immediately pretended to be weak.

Xidi shook her head helplessly, "Don't reward her, this guy is a cat slave."

"It's not that far yet, although I like it very much." Matricika chuckled.

"Okay, I'm going to go and find out the situation with the officials of this country. Mary, do you want to go with Irena?"

"No, I want to see what's going on in this country."

"Irena?"

"Meow."

So one person, one cat and an undead man walked into the official's office.

……

"The thing is like this. Since last month, residents in our country have been falling ill. After careful investigation, it was discovered that the most famous sight in our country - the Witch Elise Fountain is related to it, and the infected people have drank the water from it. "

The official looked helpless, while the other one, who also looked worried, made the necessary explanations.

"Our country is a place without any special features. We are only proud of the fountain built by the great witch, Lady Elise. In the past, the spring water that could cure many diseases continued to flow in the fountain pool until some time ago..."

"Meow meow meow."

"Meow~meow~"

Xidi roughly understood the situation, "In other words, is the current epidemic in your country caused by problems with the substances in the spring water?"

"Maybe, maybe."

"Now it seems that there is a high probability that it is."

Both officials had heavy expressions. What they were proud of in their hometowns has now become like this, as well as those citizens who cannot afford to fall ill. These are all things that make people particularly troubled.

"I see, then..."

"Meow--"

A soft paw rested on his hair.

Xidi turned around and looked at the two people outside the window who had been noisy since the beginning.

"Don't come near me!"

"Just touch it, the cat is very cute, soft and slippery~"

"It's enough for me to have a senior brother!"

Matryshka was holding a fierce-looking cat in her arms. She let the cat scratch at her wrists and refused to let go. She told Irena her feelings very enthusiastically.

It seems like she really likes cats.

"Are those two your traveling companions?" An official's expression relaxed slightly, "They are people who like cats. We rely on those little cuties to relax in our daily lives... But the hands of your companion are really good. Is it okay? Little Snowball is not very friendly to strangers."

"It's probably okay..."

Looking at the guy whose face was scratched by the cat and still smiling stupidly, several people couldn't get angry.

……

Later, I officially accepted the commission to study spring water.

Orthodox witches rely on their wisdom to make a living, while those who fight for strength are heretics. Solving such matters is usually the responsibility of the national magic advisor.

Unfortunately not here.

As the Anruni Republic just introduced itself, there is nothing unique about it that cannot attract witches, including the surrounding countries. For example, the great witch Elise has overdrawn all her luck.

Without the conditions to solve the problem, finding an association to issue a commission is already the ultimate in flexibility.

The good news is that Elise seemed to have considered the situation when the spring water dried up and needed to be re-prepared. She left a specific recipe in her biography. This book can even be found in bookstores on the market.

After getting the formula, Xidi took two chattering guys to the residence provided by the officials. After all, it was a major issue related to the country. It was necessary to have a safe place to study, and some urgent needs could be dealt with immediately. Proposed.

It turned out that Irena was more active. She was still a little concerned about Matryshka's travels and asked about the past styles of the places they visited.

It's a pity that Matriška traveled only for the sake of traveling and remembered almost nothing.

"Sorry, don't expect anything from Matryshka."

"There is no need to apologize... Sneeze! Put the cat away!" Irena started to sneeze again.

"Hahahaha... I used to be like this too. It's such a pity that I can't enjoy cats."

"They say I have a senior brother!"

"Go back!"

Xi Di, who was blushing slightly, knocked on the junior sister's head.

……

At noon, the three of them returned from Elise's Fountain Pool, a famous scenic spot in this country. The spring water that used to be crystal clear and could be drank directly has now turned into a terrifying deep purple, with bubbles rising from time to time. Even the statues above Dissolved half way.

As it is now, let alone drinking it, people passing by are worried about getting dirty things on it. But unfortunately, a few months ago, it was not so obvious, so drinking the spring water attracted a lot of people.

In the afternoon, it started to rain outside the window. The autumn rain fell in strands, and an uncomfortable cold air poured in from all directions.

The place where she lived had a kitchen, so Xidi found some ingredients and made a simple lunch.

"Has Miss Mary ever seen such a disease in the past?"

He casually asked the girl beside him who was ready to steal some food at any moment.

She still shook her head regretfully, "Sorry, no."

"There's nothing to apologize for, I'm just asking casually. Miss Mary seems to care about these things?"

"Well," Matricika moved back and sat on the ground, her expression downcast, "Matricika lived for a long time, but she may not know as much as modern people who only lived for more than ten years. Pretty useless, right?”

"...The value of each person's existence is not defined by outsiders, I can only say this, Miss Mary."

Xi Di did not answer directly, stirred the chowder in the pot, took out a bowl and handed it over.

"Please use it. It's cold, so don't sit on the ground."

Matricika brought the bowl blankly, the evenly thin porcelain transmitting heat.

"It's so warm."

She seemed to have regained her strength.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Xidi has always felt that watching the rain is a very interesting thing. What is interesting is not the artistic conception, but the ability to sit and enjoy it leisurely, instead of running around and becoming part of the rain scene because of some trouble.

It's a pity that we can't continue to fish like this. After lunch and a bowl of light chowder to warm up, Xidi, who was always used to finishing work at the beginning of holidays, began to study the solution to the country's epidemic.

Although there is no overly professional equipment, it doesn't matter. There is the power of magic. As long as there is a crucible to process the medicine, it will be done. Other observation tools can be solved with magic.

Because it was a rainy day, Irena's mood was a little high. She looked out the window, looking forward to the rain. This residence was a small courtyard. The stone paths in the courtyard were uneven and filled with rainwater. She liked to trample on the rainwater. a feeling of.

If the senior brother didn't have a job, he would probably nag her, which was okay.

Just like when children see their parents playing cards with others, their free time comes.

But Miss Matryshka looked very interested, even if she was just helping Hidi read some information, move some medicines around, or dump the cremated remains of experimental animals into specific trash cans.

She hadn't experienced this feeling of being needed in a long time - not counting being a test subject.

Earlier, she had been surrounded by people who needed her, but only in part: for her immortality.

There is really very little time to spend time with people calmly like this. Almost no one can remain calm after knowing her identity.

But such people appeared.

It's amazing. She is so good at cooking. Unlike her, she won't be able to do anything when she is a hundred years old, because she doesn't need to just fight for the throne like ordinary people.

The feeling of warmth in my stomach was an experience I couldn't get from eating bread and drinking cold water. The seemingly perfunctory chowder turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. It had been a long time coming.
