It was already a month later when he saw Victor again.
...
At dusk.
Eli had just returned from the potions Department and had just reached the mountain where his house was located. Just as he was near the house, he saw Victor lying outside the door.
"I knew something must have happened." Eli's eyes widened as he quickly walked over.
Victor's eyes were closed, and his lips were dark. He looked dispirited, as if he had suffered a serious injury.
After checking for a few minutes and making sure that there was nothing else on Victor's body, Eli helped him back to his house and fed him a first-Circle Healing potion.
After all, they were still friends, and a little help was nothing.
Of course, his help was limited to this.
After treating him, Eli returned to the yard to water the vines.
Half an hour later, there was a sudden cough from inside the door.
