Year 9988, Day 26 of the Month of the Rain.
At dawn, Don Armando along with Luciel went to Doctor Aris' clinic, the reason why Don Armando came to visit Doctor Aris was to thank him, so when they entered and saw him it was the first thing he did.
"Thank you very much doctor, thanks to you I am already well." - Don Armando said.
"Don Armando, you don't have to thank me."
"How? Why shouldn't I? "
"Because the young man next to you is the one who deserves your thanks.
"Luciel?" - Don Armando asked who looked at Luciel.
"Of course not." - The young man replied. - "If you Doctor Aris were not here, if you had not done the cure, who knows what would have happened."
"Ha, yes Luciel, but if you hadn't found the Thousand Year Grass, who knows how many days it would have taken for the adventurers to find it." - said Aris. - "As I said Don Armando, yesterday Luciel left for the Great Dark Forest to look for the grass, seriously that you are very important to Luciel for him to do such a crazy thing."
"Yes." - Don Armando said. - "Luciel."
"Yes?" - asked Luciel, who noticed that Don Armando's face was angry.
"You didn't promise me that you wouldn't leave town again, that you wouldn't do something crazy like the one you just did yesterday."
"I ..." - Luciel got nervous, not knowing what to say.
"Why Luciel? You could have lost your life. "
"I…"
"I know you were worried, but I will not be happy if something happens to you because of me."
"It wasn't your fault Don Armando… I… it's just that I couldn't bear to see you suffer, to see you so badly because of the Hundred Days Plague… you have helped me so much since I worked at the Crimson, and… I wanted to help you… "
"..."
"I'm sorry."
"Come on, you two don't get like that." - said Aris. - "It is true that Luciel committed a foolish thing, but in the end, everything ended well, and that is what matters, let's not think about what could happened, let's just think about now."
"..." – Luciel did not say anything.
"You're right Doctor Aris, even so, I can't help but get a little angry with Luciel, after all, what he did was something very dangerous, something risky." - Don Armando said as he approached Luciel.
"Don Armando?"
"Thank you." - Don Armando said, moving Luciel's hair. - "Seriously Luciel, thank you very much."
"No problem." - Luciel said. - "It's something I had to do."
"Hm, even so, seriously Luciel, don't play with destiny, I don't know how you managed to get out of the Great Dark Forest, or find the Thousand Year Grass without getting hurt, even so, don't do it again."
"About that ..." - Aris was going to tell him what happened.
"Luck." - Luciel said quickly, asking Aris with his eyes not to say what happened to the monster that attacked him.
"Yes…. Hm, it was very brave and stupid what Luciel did, but at least everything has passed, and you Don Armando, you are now healthy again. "
"So is."
"Well then I think this is it."
"Yes." - Don Armando said.
"See you doctor." - Luciel said.
When Luciel and Don Armando left, Don Armando stopped.
"Ah."
"What's wrong Don Armando?"
"I forgot to ask Doctor Aris something, you can go back to Crimson to check today's documents."
"Clear." - Luciel said that he left there, while Don Armando re-entered the clinic.
"Don Armando? What's going on?"
"Doctor Aris, I had forgotten something very important, something that I asked of you a long time ago."
Don Armando had asked Aris for something long ago. It all started when once he accompanied Luciel who had broken a bone while "playing" with the children of the town as Luciel called him, although Billy later told him the truth angrily, about how an eight-year-old brat was jealous because Luciel has beat all the children in a game, he gave him a blow that would almost break Luciel's bone.
Due to what he heard and everything that happened, Don Armando would go with Aris to ask him for something.
"Is it possible to cure Luciel?" - Don Armando asked.
"Ah." - Aris finally remembered when Don Armando came to talk to him. - "Have a seat." - Aris said that, he invited Don Armando to sit down.
"..." - Don Armando sat down, waiting to hear what Dr. Aris had to say.
"Well, for months I was checking on Luciel whenever he came here to help him with something, or, rather, to heal him for a fracture or a little cold." - said Aris.
"Yes?"
"I've been looking into all the books I have about what Luciel has."
"That's what I don't understand doctor, I've never heard of something like what happens to Luciel."
"Yes, someone incapable of cultivating." - said Aris. - "At first one would believe that it is because he is an earthling, but from what I have learned, Luciel is the only one of the earthlings who are here who cannot cultivate, even in the quick trips I made to other nearby towns, I did not find or hear of an Earthling like Luciel who couldn't farm. "
"..."
"And, it was then one day that he came here, that he fell asleep that I could check more s calm your body, or, rather, the currents that we have where the World Energy flows in our bodies. "
"..."
"This is how I found out what happens to Luciel's body."
"What's going on?" - Don Armando asked.
"The World Energy currents of Luciel's are badly damaged, so damaged that it is impossible for World Energy to flow through them." - said Aris. - "That's why Luciel is unable to cultivate."
"!"
"No matter what kind of cultivation method Luciel uses, he will never be able to cultivate."
"And there is no cure?"
"I do not know."
"How?"
"I do not have all the knowledge in the world Don Armando, I am just a simple doctor, a simple traveler who goes from town to town, and, from what I know… there is no cure capable of fixing the World Energy currents in Luciel's body . "
"None?!"
"I have heard of something called the Elixir of Life, but ... that does not exist on this continent."
"Life elixir?"
"Yes, it is something that exists on the Continent of Antigua, and that perhaps may also exist on the Immortal Continent, although well, that's something I heard from a traveler who traveled to the Continent of Antigua." - said Aris.
"..."
"I'm sorry Don Armando, I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but, at the moment, I am unable to cure Luciel, or to know if there is a feasible cure in Skype."
"..."
"Luciel, it is impossible for him to cultivate, he will never be able to do it with a body like his that has currents so shattered and damaged." - Aris said finally.
"I see." - Don Armando said downcast. - "Thank you, Doctor."
"..." - Aris watched as Don Armando went slowly.
As Don Armando was leaving, Liz appeared from another room, bringing with her two glasses of tea, one of which she gave to Aris.
"Thanks Liz." - Aris thanked her for wanting to have something to calm down.
"Is it really impossible?"
"Yes." - said Aris. - "I have never seen World Energy currents so damaged, not even…. The leader of the Green Leaf Division possessed his currents so damaged after being poisoned. "
"... You won't think of going home to get the Elixir to heal Luciel, will you?"
"No, of course not, we cannot return without being able to find what we are looking for, after all, getting there has been very difficult, although I want to return and obtain the Elixir of Life for Luciel, maybe even I couldn't get it, and to return again to this continent will be almost impossible after the reinforced defense measures that that man has make."
"Really? Could it be that more people have come to this continent?"
"Who knows." - said Aris. - "Even so, whatever damaged Luciel's body ... I'm surprised it didn't kill him."
"Really?"
"Yes, with the damage that its currents possess, it surprises me that it is not spread through its veins, its organs and its body."
"Why?"
"Because that is what happened to the Leader of the Green Leaves, although his currents were not as damaged as Luciel, it was a serious situation for him, since even his veins and organs had also been affected by the poison."
"Hm ... maybe that's how Luciel was born."
"It could be ..." - said Aris who finished drinking all the tea. - "Even so, I wish I could have done something more for the boy."
"You have done enough, you know that we have already searched all the towns in the region, and we have not found a clue of her whereabouts."
"Yes, she is not here, I don't even think she has visited this nation." - said Aris.
"You see, so that means it's about time we left."
"I know, just ... just let me get another Thousand Year Herb to make another round of pills."
"You think the adventurers would find, another one?"
"Of course, after all, adventurers are proud, finding out that I got one, and not knowing who gave it to me or how, they will do their best to bring me one more and not be left behind by someone they know nothing about."
"Hm, and to believe that a child unable to cultivate could obtain something that they have not yet."
"Yes, I don't know if it was luck, a coincidence or that the boy has an instinct to find things, but he did." - said Aris, who inside his mask, he smiled at the thought that just as Liz said, someone like Luciel with a body incapable of cultivating, with a mediocre power and physique, could achieve something that rank E adventurers, D and even some C rank failed to do so, and did so on his first entry into the Great Dark Forest.
