Act 124. Diary (Part 2)
The year 2299 of the Cangyue Calendar, the moon is falling on the fifteenth day, cloudy.
Two things happened today.
The first thing is that I was finally admitted to the Newington Institute and became an intern member. This is an opportunity that many mages dream of!
But this is far less important to me.
That's Teresa is pregnant.
Oh my God, we're going to have children!
In the past, I always thought children were annoying, ignorant and fond of trouble, but now, I think they are so cute and innocent.
We have decided that if it is a boy, it is called Philo and the girl is called Fina.
This is definitely my second precious treasure in this world.
As for the first precious one, of course, theresa.
......
In the year 2299 of the Cang calendar, the moon is falling, the 20th day, the rain.
The doctor said Teresa's situation was not optimistic.
Babies suffer from an extremely rare disease, which is extremely repulsive to all magic. Simply put, as long as they are in a magical environment, the baby is likely to die prematurely.
More importantly, this disease will also affect Teresa, who is now completely unable to use magic.
This disease will continue to survive after the birth of the baby and will not gradually fade away from growth until the age of seven. There is currently no way to treat it in the early stages, so you can only wait for time to repair.
Doctors believe that this may be related to the mining accident that Teresa two years ago. It has been affected by a large number of magic crystals for a long time and can easily lead to lesions in the body. This change may be subtle and completely unpredictable.
If we want Teresa and the baby to survive, we have to go to a place where we can’t get in touch with magic, but then I won’t be able to work at the Newington Institute, and even for years to come, I will not be able to do magic-related jobs.
what do I do?
......
In the year 2299 of the Cang calendar, the moon of the stars falling, the 28th day, the rain.
Today I met Oliver. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for almost two years since I graduated.
I didn't tell him about my own affairs, but he told me a lot about his own situation.
After graduation, he worked as an alchemist in a large alchemist. Recently, he got close to a female colleague who worked in the same year. He came to me to ask about how to get along with girls. He was such a happy guy.
I hate this world a little, why did I lose everything since I was a child, and why I couldn’t have a simple life?
I don’t want to be a high-level mage now, nor do I want my name to be a household name. I just want Teresa and our children to be safe.
But this seems to have become a luxury.
......
The year 2299 of the Cang calendar, the month of frost, the sixth day, the rain.
I searched for information for a long time and found that in the records, there seemed to be some special mineral that could slow down the impact of this disease, but it was just an individual case and there was no data to prove it.
But this is our only hope.
Soon, I found that this special mineral reserve is very small, and in the main plane, only the Sur Mountains have been found.
The Sur Mountains, looking at this familiar name, I felt a little moved, but as a result, the hometown I spent twenty years trying to escape was my only hope now.
It's time to make a decision.
......
The year 2299 of the Cang calendar, the moon of the dragon sleeping, the thirty day, snow.
I eventually quit my job at the Newington Institute. Although all the adults are willing to retain my position for me, I don’t know how long it will take for me to get back here.
The Baron, who is in charge of the town of Sur, has a job as a magic consultant, and I think I can work part-time, and more importantly, I need to find ores in the Sur Mountains that can cure Theresa.
For a mage, my approach is tantamount to cutting off my future. I admit that for a few moments, I also wondered whether to abandon Teresa and her children and continue to move forward alone, but when I saw her wearing an apron and busy back in the kitchen, all these distractions no longer existed.
I will protect her until death. Is there anything more worthy of protection in this world than this?
......
The 2300th year of the Cang calendar, the month of the running wolf, the seventeenth day, the rain.
During this time, I have been searching for minerals in the Sur Mountains, while Theresa is waiting for production.
We built a tower to live in a place far from the town, and fortunately, the Baron allowed me to take care of Teresa at home and work with letters.
Theresa was born in the evening and was a girl.
But at the same time, the strange disease also worsened at the same time. Teresa gave her last power to our daughter, miraculously alleviating the illness on her body, but this also means that she no longer has the power to survive.
Teresa held my hand and told me to protect our children.
Our daughter, Fina.
......
The year 2307 of the Cang calendar, the month of the red leaves, the ninth day, sunny.
Fina was a little unhappy today, and her body was still wet. Maybe the people in the town bullied her again.
If I could, I would burn those bastards to death one by one, but the helpless thing was that I couldn't teach them a lesson. If I used magic at will, not only would Fina lose her father, but it would also likely trigger the strange disease on her. I could only tell Fina not to go out normally.
Although Fina's illness has been relieved a lot, as long as there is a slight magic flow, it will still cause serious backlash. I deceived her and said it was a fever, and did not let Phyllis tell her the real situation because I didn't want her to feel different from others.
In this case, I cannot use magic, and even my research can only stop at the paper stage.
I didn't find that kind of ore in the Sur Mountains, but I had a new idea. Using the theory of Your Excellency Newington, I could deflect charged particles in the magnetic field to screen out specific particles. Different particles have completely different characteristics for different matters. I hope to find a particle that is enough to treat the disease in Fina without harming her body.
......
The year 2310 of the Cang calendar, the month of the gods hidden, the nine days, the snow.
Fina showed her magical talent for the first time yesterday, which means that the disease in her body has been completely cured, but this is not my effort, but it is just a natural healing as time passes.
Phyllis advised me to send Fina to study at the magic school. Indeed, in an environment like Sur Town, she may never be able to get out of the outside world, but I was still a little worried that her condition would recur. Finally, I decided to observe for another year.
The theoretical part of my new idea has been perfected, but the experimental equipment required is a bit troublesome and I need to prepare for a longer time.
......
The year 2311 of the Cang calendar, the month of the Shenyin, the nineteenth day, sunny.
In the past year, Fina had never had any reactions affected by magic. Phyllis checked her body and confirmed that the terrible disease had been completely cured.
I think it's time to send her to the outside world.
Maybe she will resent me and not understand what I do, but that doesn't matter. I just hope she can grow up healthy and have her own life.
As for me, some strange things happened in the Sur Mountains recently, and many creatures died inexplicably. I have to investigate this.
