The serious illness represents the side effects of Sha De swallowing those "dirty things", but now that the side effects have appeared, it means that the power that did not originally belong to Sha De has successfully become a part of him.
Not only could he feel that the upper limit of his spirit and the upper limit of his recovery speed were increasing while he was in a coma, but even the girls who took care of him could also feel this.
"His hair and beard are growing so fast."
The 22nd day of the month of the Wind Rises, Saturday.
When Shade woke up in the new morning, he heard Luvia and Tifa talking.
Before he opened his eyes, he unexpectedly found that he was in particularly good spirits today. Although his body was still a little tired and the headache had not completely disappeared, compared with the pain of the previous few days, which was like a sledgehammer hitting his temple,
It felt almost like little Mia was scratching his skin at this moment.
Based on his understanding of his physical condition, this can almost be considered a recovery.
"Yes, his height has increased by half an inch (about 1.27cm) in more than a week. Although it is not much, it is almost impossible at his age."
Tifa agreed softly.
Shade had no intention of eavesdropping on the conversation. He wanted to open his eyes to show that he was awake, but he felt the quilt on the side was pulled up slightly, and then a hand gently pinched his upper arm:
"Not only his height, Shade's weight has also increased, and his bone density and muscle strength have increased. But the strange thing is that from the appearance, Shade's body shape has not changed at all. There are no exaggerated muscles.
I have gained a lot of weight and my abdominal muscles are at their original level.”
Luvia said softly, then released her grip on his upper arm and tucked the quilt back in:
"Even those magic arts that can permanently enhance physical fitness, such as [Steel Body] [Giant Power] [Falias' Strengthening Technique] [Silver Knight's Ear], do not have such an exaggerated effect. I even
I doubt that Shade can defeat the earth elemental giant spirit with his bare hands just by relying on his physical fitness."
"It shouldn't be that exaggerated. Miss said, the witches think that Shade's physical changes are more similar to...evolution."
It can be heard that the black-haired maid is trying her best to find a suitable way to say:
"The spiritual runes of ring warlocks are different, which causes the physical quality to be very different even if they are in the same ring. Those twisted powers are probably extremely compatible with some of his spiritual runes, which leads to this phenomenon. This is the body
The all-round enhancement of quality is not actually important to the enhancement of unarmed combat ability, what is important is the further evolution of life forms."
"He will probably live longer than all of us."
Luvia said very gently, even if Shade closed his eyes, he could feel those purple eyes looking at him.
"That's great. He won't leave earlier than me."
"Please don't say such things early in the morning."
Hearing this, Shade finally opened his eyes, and neither Luvia nor Tifa were surprised by his awakening.
Tifa gently helped him sit up, and said hello to Shade softly, as if she was worried that too much noise would kill him. Then she got up from the chair beside the bed and arranged for the maids to bring breakfast.
Luvia touched his forehead, then put her hand on his chest to test his heartbeat:
"The body temperature has returned to normal, but the heart rate is still a little fast. But it should be getting better. According to my divination, it will take a few days for your fusion of those powers that we cannot understand to completely end, so your condition is still
It will take a few days to fully recover.”
"Let me raise a possibility. My heartbeat is fast. Maybe it's because you are listening to my heartbeat."
Shade said, looking into those purple eyes. Luvia also looked at him, and after a few seconds she smiled. She smiled beautifully with her eyes squinted.
"When you say such words, I know that your spirit is much better than the past few days."
As she spoke, she took little Mia aside, who was lying on the quilt, to prevent the cat from crushing the "weak" Shade.
Mia's energy has not been very good in the past two weeks. She lies next to Shade's pillow all day long, as if she is worried that Shade will die at any time. The reason why every time Shade opens his eyes, he can see Mia or someone else.
Beside the bed or on the windowsill, that's because the nearly one-year-old cat has never left.
"We prepared daily cat food for it according to your instructions, but its food intake is one-fifth less than what you said."
Luvia said, seeing that Shade said she was fine, she put Mia back on the quilt. Shade leaned against the bed and stroked the cat. Little Mia seemed to be able to notice that Shade's mental state was much better.
His subordinates lay down obediently and did not move:
"I feel like I have been in a dream this week. Now that I have woken up from the dream, I still can't distinguish the memories of the past few weeks, which ones are real and which ones are dreams."
"I still remember one night when I asked you to get up and take medicine. You waved your hands in fear and said you didn't want to take medicine, as if I wanted to murder you."
Luvia said angrily, reaching out to help Shade tuck his feet. Shade recalled it and realized that before that, he had dreamed about a hundred and five men and three women robbing houses together in his hometown.
story.
"Now that you are finally getting better, we are relieved."
Luvia said, with sad eyes.
"Thank you for taking care of me these two weeks. Without you, I would probably be curled up in the quilt by myself, waiting for the doctor to find out that I didn't go to the meeting."
"Do you still need to say thank you to us? Shade, you yourself know what's going on with this disease. From now on..."
"Luvia, if I don't do that in Randall Valley, what else can I do?"
Shade asked. He looked into those purple eyes, but actually he didn't know who he was seeing at this moment:
"Sacrifice Siris? Or let the guardian swallow the pollution and then explode? That is not the ending we want, especially not the ending you want."
Luvia pursed her lips and said after a moment:
"Then let the church handle it and let the damn madness spread across the world. You yourself said that the end will come when it comes. I don't care about other people, I only care about you."
"This is not what you should say."
Shade said with a smile, then reached out to hug Luvia, and at the same time noticed that he was wearing pajamas that he had never seen before:
"But from the current point of view, the results of my choice are not bad. The story of Randall Valley has been solved relatively satisfactorily. Although I have been seriously ill for more than a week, my life is not in danger, but I have benefited. Even if I still have it in the future,
My resistance to eating weird things is much stronger than it was a week or so ago."
"Do you want another time?"
Luvia raised her voice slightly, and then held Shade's hand:
"Shad Suellen Hamilton, promise me, if you want to take such a risk in the future, you will at least discuss it with me in advance, okay?"
Generally speaking, being called by your full name means that it is a very serious occasion.
"I know you won't lie to me."
Luvia said, and Shade pursed his lips:
"Okay, I promise you that whenever I have the opportunity, I will take the initiative to discuss it with you."
The fortune teller lady had a smile on her face, and it happened that Tifa also came back with the maids at this time. But instead of eating first, she washed up first. Shade could only brush her teeth, but according to the practice of the past few days, Tifa
Fa Yao personally wiped Shade's face with a hot towel.
"I will do it myself today."
Shade, who felt that his body had entered the recovery period, said, and then Tifa looked at him with an angry look, and took action without even discussing with Shade.
After eating, they conducted a simple check-up on Shade, and then confirmed that Shade's physical condition had really improved significantly. This made the girls very happy, so Luvia went to work at the Prophet's Association as usual, while Shade
He was asked to stay in bed and continue to rest.
He originally wanted to read a book to make up for his "laziness" in the past two weeks. But after all, his body was still not recovered. After reading for half an hour to understand the standard process of purifying and processing impurities in potion making, he felt sleepy.
Come up.
Normally, Shade would insist on reading it, but since he was still sick, he simply put down the book and fell asleep again.
When I opened my eyes, it was already noon two hours later.
The house seemed very lively, and Shade heard a lot of people's voices from the living room. He tried to get up with Mia in his arms, and came to the living room in his pajamas, only to find that not only Luvia and Tifa were there, but also Miss Carina and Dora
Rosie has arrived too.
"Good afternoon, ladies. I'm so glad to see you."
Seeing that the girls he could call "family" in this world were all there, Shade felt that his mental state was better.
Luvia wanted to ask Shade to go back and rest quickly, but Dorothy thought that it was just as good to let Shade get out of bed and take a walk, or to let him lie back in bed after lunch.
So after a week, Shade finally gained the right to eat at the table.
At the usually deserted dining table, three more people suddenly appeared to eat with him, which made him feel that No. 6 Saint Teresa Square became more and more cozy.
Tifa still refused to sit down with Carina, and was busy in the kitchen with other maids.
The ladies at the table took advantage of the lunch period to tell Shade about what happened during the week or so when he was seriously ill. There are always various things happening around Shade, but the world will not close to outsiders.
The serious illness of the eyes rests and stagnates.
"You have received your honorary degree."
This was the news that Dorothy brought back. Although Shade had obtained a good paper from Randall Valley, the subsequent co-publication with Professor Manning and other miscellaneous matters were all handled by the writer and Her Royal Highness.
"The degree awarding party happened the day before yesterday. Everyone knew that you were seriously ill, so I helped you get the degree certificate and the Medal of Honor, Honorary Doctorate of Hamilton~"
