At the foot of the mountain where the castle is located, a carriage is ready to set off. Ivan stood in front of the carriage and said to the people who came to see him off: "I'll leave the territory to you." The village chief of Fengchou Village replied: "Lord, please rest assured that you will see a thriving Sanggu when you return next time." Five days left before the one-month deadline, Ivan and Jiusiti are preparing to take a carriage back to Flying Fish Port. Now, everything in Sanggu Territory is on the right track. Under Paul's arrangement, the people in the territory have begun to do the preliminary work of planting mulberry trees. Lede has initially formed a guard team. The original Giant Shield Mercenary Group has been transformed into a caravan. The caravan will be led by the pharmacist Jiusiti and will also cooperate with the Hobson family. The prospects are foreseeable. As a knight, Dane chose to stay, and the other deputy leader Gro did the same. Before Ivan left, he summoned the backbone personnel of Sanggu Territory and told them that he was about to go to the Wizard Academy to study, and asked others to assist Lede and the Lord's wife. Today, all these people came to see him off. Ivan looked around and turned to enter the carriage.
The driver was Noah, a former mercenary and now a territory guard. The carriage moved forward slowly, and the roadside was full of people who came to see him off after hearing the news. Ivan had to lift the curtain and wave to the side. After the carriage left Sanggu, Ivan retracted his gaze and said with emotion: "It seems that my position as a lord is not in vain." Jiusiti nodded in agreement: "Of course, you are the great lord who solved the dilemma that has troubled Sanggu for many years. Everyone in Sanggu is grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts." This time, they rushed to Flying Fish Port five days in advance. First, they were afraid of changes and dared not let the wizard wait, and second, they wanted to visit the Gradden family where Jiusiti was, so Jiusiti was also in the carriage. "Tell me about your mother's condition." Hearing his question, Jiusiti's eyebrows were filled with sorrow: "I didn't lie to you on the ship before. My mother's condition is really bad. In fact, she is not sick, but injured. She was seriously injured to save me ten months ago, and she was also poisoned by a strange poison." "Have you found someone to treat her?" "I have found many people, but only Old Orr's potion has some effect." "Can't Old Orr cure it?" Ivan frowned. In his opinion, Old Orr's method is already very good. If it is better, it is estimated that only wizards or special items collected by nobles can cure it. Jiusiti shook her head sadly: "He said there is no way, so I want to find a way myself. After all, my mother ruined her whole face for me. She turned out to be such a beautiful and confident person." After that, she stared at Ivan expectantly. In her opinion, among the people she knew, the only one who was more powerful than Old Orr was the man in front of her. Ivan asked again: "What exactly was the injury?" Jiusiti lowered her head uneasily: "A poisonous weasel, I remember it clearly, there was a tuft of purple hair like an eye between its eyebrows, it had sharp claws, and it could spray poison gas. It was attacking me, and my mother rushed up to stop it. My mother yelled for me to run, and I ran away. I didn't expect that it would cause such a bad result. I really didn't expect that I shouldn't have run away at the beginning. If I didn't run, my mother wouldn't be disfigured----" When she mentioned the past, Jiusi's face was full of regret, and even her body couldn't stop shaking. She grew up in an aristocratic family and was spoiled since she was a child. It is estimated that she had never encountered any difficulties before. When she encountered such a danger for the first time, she might react in a panic. This should be Jiusi's heart knot. No wonder her practice in breathing method is a mess. A person who has lost his sharpness is destined to not go far in the way of knights. Ivan held her in his arms and hugged her tightly, hoping to bring her some warmth.
"I regret it so much, I really regret it. I went to Old Or to learn potions and to Toins to learn spells, just to cure my mother, but I dare not go to the wizard academy again, afraid that no one will take care of my mother if I never come back----" "It has happened. I will try my best to treat Lady Selina, and everything will be fine." Under Ivan's comfort, Jusiti said a lot of words intermittently, and finally fell asleep in his arms. The carriage was much slower than riding a horse, and it arrived at Flying Fish Harbor in the middle of the afternoon. The next day, Ivan came to Gladden Manor to visit Jusiti's father. For his son-in-law, Baron Gladden expressed satisfaction in his words and deeds, but the current Lady Gladden-Lady Nancy, Lady Nancy, was not very friendly. Ivan mentioned that he wanted to visit Lady Selina at the right time, and Baron Gladden did not refuse, but Lady Nancy looked unhappy. Led by Jiusiti, the two came to a remote independent building in the manor. Jiusiti said that her mother had moved here for half a year. "Is it Jiusiti?" "Yes, mother, have you seen my letter? I said I would bring my fiancé to see you, you can call him 'Iven'." On the second floor of the small building, Iven saw a mature woman with a black veil. Seeing this lady, he understood who Jiusiti inherited her figure from. "Mr. Iven, I know you. She often mentioned you before." "I shouldn't have said anything good." "She always said she wanted to surpass you, but now it seems she has failed." Unlike Jiusiti's weak mother who can't leave her, Mrs. Selina's behavior seems decent and generous. She is a capable person at first glance. No wonder she can stand up for her daughter when she is in the most dangerous situation. Jiusiti said coquettishly: "Mom, that was a few months ago. Why are you still talking about this." Lady Selina said: "I want to thank you for bringing my daughter back. She has become more and more disobedient recently and always hides other things from me. Thank you for being willing to take care of her for me." Hearing her words, Ivan really didn't know what to say, after all, he was about to leave the Principality of Xiangmai. Jiusiti came to his rescue: "Mom, Ivan is going to study at the Wizard Academy. This was decided a long time ago. At that time, I had not yet become his fiancée." Lady Selina said: "Then you go to Sanggu and wait for him to come back." "I know." Jiusiti mentioned the treatment: "Mom, Ivan is here to treat you." Lady Selina was unwilling: "Jiusiti, I remember what I said, I don't need treatment." Jiusiti said anxiously: "This time is different. Ivan is not only a powerful pharmacist, but also a mid-level knight and wizard apprentice. He has more powerful means. Mom will treat it as my begging you. Let him take a look, just one look." Seeing that her daughter was holding her arm and not letting go, and she looked like she would not give up until she agreed, Selina reluctantly agreed. The black veil was untied, revealing a face with many deep claw marks. The reddish-brown claw marks crisscrossed and spread all the way to the neck. Due to the influence of unknown toxins, the claw marks healed a little badly, leaving obvious grooves and swelling on both sides. This was an injury caused ten months ago. Lady Selina had suffered so much for it. Ivan frowned slightly, and seemed to be stumped. After waiting for a while, Jiusiti couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
Ivan looked at the two of them separately and said, "Can I talk to Lady Selina alone? I need to ask some questions that will make you sad." Hearing this, Jiusiti couldn't suppress her emotions, and tears came out of the corners of her eyes. At Ivan's request, Jiusiti returned to the first floor.
