The Dean Has Arrived

"Mom, I'm back!"

After coaxing away a puppy that was barking at him, Riddle quickly walked into the familiar yard, and at the same time he couldn't help shouting.

Edric College has the opportunity to send letters to his home through the owl twice a week, but in order to surprise his parents, Riddle didn't even disclose the summer vacation in the letter.

At this time before, my father should still be plowing in the fields, while my mother was preparing lunch at home.

Sure enough, not long after he yelled, the door in the yard opened suddenly, and his mother walked out quickly, her face full of surprise.

However, Riddle, who was much more observant, saw an unconcealable sadness on his mother's face.

"Mom, what happened?" He took off his mage hat, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Your father, he..."

Riddle's mother stopped after half a sentence.

Riddle was taken aback, and asked her what happened. Finally, he learned from his mother that his father was sick in bed.

It's just that the villagers raised some money and sent him to the priest in the city to see a doctor, but after receiving the money, the other party told Riddle's mother that his husband had a terminal illness that was difficult to cure.

Immediately, Riddle's mother felt that the sky was falling, so she could only bring her husband back home, and watched him lose weight day by day, but there was nothing she could do.

"Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing!" With a buzzing in his head, Riddle hurriedly ran into the dilapidated house, and then saw his father in the bedroom.

He who used to be extremely strong is now skinny, lying quietly on the bed, if it wasn't for the slight heaving of his chest. I'm afraid they didn't know he was still alive.

"dad……"

As soon as Riddle saw his father become like this, he couldn't stop crying.

"Your father was afraid that the news of his illness would affect your studies, so he didn't tell you...By the way, Riddle, why did you come back suddenly?" His mother followed him into the room and said softly. But after talking about it, her complexion became even worse: "It's hard, could it be..."

"One month from today is a holiday."

Fortunately, Riddle immediately dispelled her doubts.

At this time, probably woken up by their conversation, Riddle's father opened his eyes, looked at Riddle by the bed, and opened his eyes in disbelief.

"You're back?"

"Well. The college is on holiday."

Riddle immediately replied, for fear that he was thinking as wrong as his mother.

"That's great..." His father's eyes were a little moist: "I thought I wouldn't see you before I died..."

"Daddy, you'll be fine!"

At this time, Riddle said loudly.

He reached out and took out a bottle of red potion from the dimension bag in his robe.

Tiny Life Potion. Unlike the diluted version that Xi Wei gave to the students before, this is the genuine miniature life potion.

He carefully fed this bottle of medicine worth several credits, which could save lives at a critical moment, to his father.

For an ordinary person, this bottle of potion can replenish his vitality several times in an instant.

"Is this also a magician's prop? I think it's much better..."

Riddle's father had a smile on his lips. said softly.

But Riddle found that his father's pale sunken cheeks did not improve at all. This is completely different from the immediate results of life potions!

After discovering that even the life potion of Bailing Bailing had no effect, Riddle finally panicked.

It is true that life potions can replenish vitality, and no matter what kind of wounds can be healed quickly, but Riddle's father was not 'injured', but 'sick'.

Obviously, for diseases, life potions are somewhat powerless.

It's like the fairy beans in Dragon Ball Z don't work on Monkey King's heart disease.

"Don't waste your efforts. I am very happy to see you at the end. I have been just a farmer all my life. The proudest thing is to have a son like you who can become a master magician."

Riddle's father was very open-minded.

"If I can't even change the fate of my loved ones, what kind of magician am I!"

Riddle bit his lip tightly, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall, then he stood up resolutely and walked to the door.

"Dad, you must wait. I will definitely make you better!"

After speaking, he opened the door and ran out quickly. By the time his mother chased to the door, Riddle was no longer in sight.

"The child's father... Riddle is also sensible..." Riddle's mother leaned against the door, looking at the empty yard with some ecstasy.

——Edric College——

"I'm showing my masterpiece to the fat workshop owner of that workshop, and let him know what a brilliant genius he drove away, and I'm so regretful that my intestines are green!" Kamiyu yelled at Riddle in dissatisfaction. : "If you have nothing special to do and let me rush back. Your new magic robe will be lost!"

Tanis and Dorothy, who also returned to Edric after receiving an urgent call from Riddle to "assemble at the academy", also looked curiously at Riddle, who was a little bit out of his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Riddle put his right hand across his lower abdomen, and bowed nearly ninety degrees to the three of them.

"Please help me!"

This is the most solemn kind of mage ceremony, which is almost on the same level as the three kneeling and nine knocking in ancient China. Even if an ordinary magician sees an existence of the level of Old Sharman, he will not perform such a gift.

Kamiyu and the three of them were naturally frightened.

After knowing the whole story, the three people suddenly realized.

"It's really strange. If you are a friend, you must help with such a small matter, right?"

Tanis said cheerfully.

"That's right, Professor Franken muttered all day long, 'I want to raise a child, but I don't want to be loved'." Dorothy also nodded: "It is said that this sentence is still from a book written by the dean. So it must be right for us to help !"

"That's it."

Kamiyu patted Riddle's shoulder with a smile.

Although he is an orphan, it is precisely because of this that he can better understand the value of his relatives.

"So what are you going to do?" Kamiyu asked after Riddle calmed down a bit.

Riddle sniffed, wiped away the moved tears with his sleeves at the same time, then raised his face and said: "I want to challenge the fifth floor of the Tower of Endless Sky, and get the fifth floor's reward 'panacea'!"
