Candy Wizard and Travel

"Oh, the teacher held back too much. The wind would have hit me on the head if it had been faster, and so had the water polo. In fact, you just let me get close to you at the beginning, right?"

From such a long distance, Fran can kill him with a kite. If he takes the initiative, it will definitely be a barrage.

Xidi is very self-aware. It is normal for an adult to slap a child twice when playing with a child, but it would be very funny if a child thinks that two slaps can knock an adult over.

"Hahaha……"

——Actually, she just wants to show off her skills. It doesn't matter. This doesn't stop her from doing it.

"Xiao Xidi is also very powerful. If the teacher hadn't cheated by attaching protective clothing to her clothes before starting, she would have lost directly. She is very skilled and decisive in using magic. The teacher was at your age... Oh, I was still at that time I haven’t learned magic yet.”

She laughed, rubbed her disciple's smooth white hair, and concluded.

"I see that you are very good at operating magic with high precision. I probably can't teach you in this aspect, but it seems that you have never used attack and transformation magic. Is it because of insufficient magic power?"

She makes judgments based on experience.

"Yeah, I have very little magic at my disposal-"

His words came to an abrupt end.

Those vague feelings of swelling and pain gathered at this moment, like the roots of a plant growing in the body, trying to break through the constraints of flesh and blood. Under such pain, it was impossible to even keep standing.

There had been warnings a few nights ago, but he didn't pay attention.

Most of the places I passed these days were in the wilderness, and the forest was even more lethal for a few days. It had only been more than half a month since the last bloodletting, and the magic power was already full!

"Xidi!" Fran was startled, and immediately rushed forward and half-knelt down to catch the disciple's body, "What happened?"

"It's...my body...please wait a moment."

He raised his wand with difficulty and released the weak wind blade.

The wrist split open, and bright red droplets rushed out and fell to the ground, even with the brilliance of magic.

"What are you doing!"

Fran grabbed Xi Di's hand and looked directly at him with stern and worried eyes. She suspected that there was some kind of psychological trauma and she was going to use self-harm to get rid of it. She absolutely couldn't sit back and ignore it.

The blood flowed out, and the violent and active magic also overflowed. After the position was vacated, the tearing feeling eased a lot, probably from cutting flesh to punching and kicking.

Only then was Xidi able to speak, "I have been ill for a long time, and the magic power in my body cannot be released. It can only be relieved through bloodletting."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a serious matter earlier?"

The teacher was half dissatisfied and half blaming herself, blaming herself for not seeing anything.

"The past two days... I have been so happy that I forgot about it."

——Exactly the same reason why Fran forgot to bring her broom when she went out yesterday.

Xidi showed a happy smile. Even the pain could not make her mood fluctuate. She felt like she was cared for by Teacher Fran.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

The flowing blood spread into a dark red puddle. Xi Di felt the limit and raised the wand, but the teacher helped cure it first.

"Is it better?"

"much better."

"Go back and study this first, and we'll talk about other things later."

With rare toughness, Fran didn't ask her disciple's opinion at all. After cleaning up the scene, she hugged her disciple and sat on the broom and flew up.

……

The witch flips through the book.

Combined with the notebook brought by Xidi, Fran confirmed that her lovely disciple had a strange disease, which manifested as a huge amount of magic power that could not be released. After close inspection...

Her hands were shaking.

To put it simply, the accumulated magic power can blow up a third of the West District into the sky when released. Thinking about it this way, you will feel like a bomb disposal expert.

But there is good news, and there are two: first, it is not a physical defect; second, the disease will be named after Siddi.

"……found it."

Fran dug out an old manuscript. This was the book she read when she started. It introduced some basic common sense in the magic world. Because many theories seemed backward now, she only briefly read it at the time.

But ancient books are like this. I don’t know when the theory will go back in circles and draw analogies.

She found such a record in the book.

In classical theory, the way people use magic power is: absorption-storage-circulation-release. Magic power not only exists in the body, but also in the soul. It is the cycle of body and soul that allows magic power to remain in the human body and enable people to use various magic.

Fran frowned and put down the book.

"There is nothing wrong with the body. There is a high probability that there is a problem with the soul... I don't have much research on the soul."

Preliminary inference is that there is something wrong with the soul, and the magic power cannot enter and can only be roughly accumulated in the body.

Using the metaphor of a bucket, Xi Di's body is a huge sealed bucket. The water pipe is connected to the bucket to fill it with water (absorbing free magic power). The magic power he uses daily is just a small amount in the water pipe, which is completely unable to prevent the water from continuing to flow in. Finally, it is full. It has to explode.

At this time, you need to drill a hole in the bucket to drain the water, then fill it up, which is bleeding.

Magic power is fluid, and blood has the effect of absorbing magic power. A single blood drain can clear out most of the magic power.

And people with normal souls are not sealed at all.

Currently, Fran has two ideas to solve this problem: treating the symptoms and treating the root cause.

The former is to find a way to replenish blood. If the blood production speed can keep up, he can survive. However, combined with the magic growth curve of known monsters and a rough calculation using Xidi's data, as an adult, he will need a knife to bleed every day and a bathtub a month. Donating to the association, the medical department had to change the logo to him overnight to show respect.

Unfortunately, there is currently no method that can restore it to that level. Let alone people, dragons will turn around and fly away after looking at it.

To cure the root cause, we must study the soul, and come up with a soul project to unblock the blocked soul once and for all.

Compared with a bathtub of blood every month, studying the soul is obviously more reliable.

Following the teacher's request, Xidi drank the blood-replenishing medicine and lay on the bed obediently. Only after listening to Fran's analysis did she realize how serious her problem was.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"What are you talking about?" Fran tapped his head. "The only thing I'm angry about is that you kid doesn't care about your body at all. You can forget such a serious illness! You didn't notice anything. The teacher is also incompetent." teacher……"

She regretted not realizing it sooner.

"..."

Xi Di moved her eyes away, trying to change the subject.

"Teacher, isn't it a bit silly for two people to apologize to each other?"

"Well, that's right. People who can forget their own illness are simply Alzheimer's disease."

"Sorry……"

"Then I also say, I'm sorry."

……

Chapter 49:Research

Xi Di lay down on the teacher's bed and rested for half the afternoon, while Fran rummaged through information in the study until sunset.

Before dinner, Hidi stood up insistently.

In order to confirm his physical condition, Frant specially took the dusty magic props and checked him three times. In the end, he only came to the conclusion that he was anemic. Judging from the physical condition, there was no other major problem except lack of blood.

"I won't show off, don't worry, teacher." Xidi behaved normally.

He has a very good say in anemia. As long as it is not a short-term and large amount of blood loss, a magician's physique can survive it. Even if he wakes up and dreams, it will be a little harder, and there will be no major problems without strenuous activities.

"Really? Children can't lie."

"Please also ask the teacher not to treat me like that kind of child."

……

Dinner was a little simpler. Xidi heated up the remaining soup at noon, added water, vegetables and meat. Because there were too many spices at noon, this meal seemed just right.

Dessert was fruit cake with raisins in it.

But until Xidi finished his portion, the teacher still stayed in the study.

When he passed by, he saw Fran writing and drawing something. From time to time, he rolled up the paper and threw it aside. He was very focused.

The table was covered with thumbed books and some strange materials.

"Take a rest, teacher."

The sound of walking and the sweet smell of cake made Fran wake up.

Her posture when doing research was very problematic. She was used to holding her face with her left hand and writing and drawing with her right hand. Now she felt numbness in her left shoulder.

Before she could relax, a plate of cake was placed in front of her, and two cold little hands were placed on her shoulders, kneading it gently.

"The teacher's sitting posture is very irregular. My shoulders may be tired."

The pleasant feeling made the witch narrow her eyes and make a lazy sound in her throat.

"Hmm~ I often feel very sore. I have considered studying the magic of massage for a while..."

Xidi guessed that it must have been nothing in the end. She studied magic because she was lazy, and gave up because of laziness.

His master Mal also studied the technique of using dolls for massage, but he never used it after he studied it. First, he was too lazy to move, and second, he had a disciple who was obedient and had better hands.

"——Then I gave up because it was too troublesome."

really.

"Xiao Xidi knows so many things..."

"It's just trivial matters. My illness bothers the teacher."

Fran sighed, opened her eyes, raised her head slightly and looked up at Hidi's eyes, with a serious meaning.

"Isn't this a matter of course? Well, Xiao Xidi, I found that you really don't like to cause trouble to others. You are not like a child. To outsiders, this is an excellent quality, but treating the people around you like this is... It will create a sense of distance.

Relationships are created when each other is in trouble but not troublesome. When Xidi cooks, boils water, tidies the room, makes desserts, and massages for the teacher, does she have to listen to the teacher say "Sorry to trouble you" many times? "

Her tone suddenly became erratic, a little guilty.

Think about it carefully, hasn't she been taken care of by this child like a useless person in the past two days?

"I understand……"

"So don't worry about this, just leave it to the teacher, just like a few years ago."

Fran shook her head with satisfaction and began to enjoy it.

"Move up a little, it's so comfortable~"

However, Xidi remembered the question Fran asked him at that time.

【Do you believe me? 】

"Well, I believe it, teacher...thank you."

"I've said it all~ You don't need to be so polite, the teacher has to say it too," Fran half-closed her eyes, pinched her throat, and imitated Xidi's serious tone: "Thank you, little Xidi."

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the disciple's plain face gradually turning into the color of his eyes, like the last touch of maple color on the horizon.

After a while, the disciple resigned.

Listening to Xi Di's pace that was much faster than before, Fran picked up a piece of cake and was thoughtful.

Could it be that this kid is not good at handling straight balls?

The sweetness of silky cream and fruit bloomed on the tip of the tongue, and the witch narrowed her eyes in pleasure.

"It's so sweet."

……

Xidi tossed and turned in bed for a long time that night before falling asleep. The next day, she woke up with a familiar dizziness. Her head was buzzing and her ears were buzzing. It took a long time for her to return to normal.

About half an hour later than yesterday, we could already hear birds chirping, rustling on the roof, as if squirrels were running by, and the cabin was quiet.

Fran's door was open.

After a pause, Xi Di walked to the study room and opened the door. The smell of wax oil mixed with old book pages came out, followed by the bitter smell of some kind of herbal medicine, which was not strong because the window facing the door was open. The morning breeze gently blows the curtains, blocking the light from time to time, and the light behind the bookshelf flickers.

The witch with gorgeous black hair just lay on the table, her entire upper body almost buried in the pile of books, frowning slightly in the changing light, sleeping very restlessly.
