Seeing off Bailu as she hurriedly left, Welt stood up and patted March 7th on the head.
"General Jing Yuan is unwell, yet the best healer in Alchemy Commission did not accompany him, but instead troubled over Leon first, we cannot demand more."
"...Let's go in and see Leon first."
Inside the ward, Leon lay quietly on the bed.
That face was almost as pale as his hair, without any color.
"Uncle Yang... I, I feel bad..."
Seeing his current appearance, March 7th's eyes rimmed with red once again.
Stelle stepped forward slowly, pulling March 7th's back of the head to lean into her embrace: "If you want to cry, just cry."
"...Wuwu..."
March 7th could no longer hold back, burying herself in Stelle's arms and sobbing.
The crying infected the other three, all feeling bad.
Stelle's reaction now seemed small, because her previous reaction was the biggest.
The once lively and cute little March crying, the players similarly felt extremely bad.
The knife scars left from the previous version had finally faded a bit, now the blade was sliding left and right along the scar's edge again, possibly cutting open at any time.
"Uncle Yang, why would Leon... clearly he didn't make a move against Phantylia, and Phantylia didn't make a move against him either."
"..."
Welt closed his eyes.
He understood, March 7th actually had her own guesses, she just didn't want to believe that kind of result.
But his guesses also couldn't be confirmed.
"Leon's abilities we have always known little about, nor do we know through what means he protected everyone from harm at Phantylia's hands."
"Dan Heng, can you see anything?"
"...No."
Dan Heng's voice was somewhat hoarse, his gaze subconsciously shifting away, afraid to meet his companions' expectant looks.
[I'm dying of anxiety, Dan Heng clearly knows, why doesn't he say!]
[How to say? He promised his father, absolutely no third person would know about father's ability.]
"..."
Ah Xian sighed.
"If Teacher Dan Heng speaks the truth, everyone will definitely fall into deep self-blame, possibly losing confidence in trailblazing."
"Both are dying for everyone, but overconsuming to resist damage and resist death, and transferring the cost to resist death, differ in nature."
"Speaking the truth might make everyone feel that Leon was dragged down by them to death."
"It would make everyone subconsciously imagine, if back then they didn't follow to fight Phantylia, maybe Leon wouldn't have died."
"With Leon's character, he absolutely couldn't say these things."
"And with Teacher Dan Heng's personality, plus he understands Leon, choosing to conceal is also reasonable."
[But, at that time the plot didn't give us, nor Dan Heng the choice not to go.]
[Now no matter how much hindsight, it's useless.]
"Is there really absolutely no way to save Leon? Uncle Yang, you've seen and known much, please think of a way..."
"..."
Welt didn't know how to respond to March 7th's pleading gaze.
He had been thinking all along, but really was at a loss.
The atmosphere was silent for quite a while, before someone spoke.
"Perhaps there is, or perhaps not."
The one who spoke was not Welt, but Dan Heng.
"You have a way?!"
Almost in an instant, three gazes fell on him.
Dan Heng furrowed his brows, shaking his head somewhat uncertainly.
"In my blurry memories, there seem to remain some unverifiable ancient history records."
"Among them includes some abilities of the Sky Haven Clan, and records of their special physique."
"Rumor has it, the Sky Haven Clan possesses an ability called 'Sky Haven Nirvana', achieving the conditions can break through the death barrier, returning on the wind."
"But what the conditions are, I have no clue."
The hope rising in the eyes of Stelle and the others quickly turned to disappointment.
But soon, Stelle rallied.
"No matter if the ancient history is true or false, having a lead is better than no hope, no matter how difficult, Nameless won't abandon companions!"
"The universe is vast, even Akivili has places THEY haven't set foot, right?"
"Maybe, we can find methods to save Leon in those places?"
"Right, March?"
Meeting the expectant gaze, March 7th wiped her eye corner, nodding heavily.
Welt said in a deep voice: "I'll contact the company right now, have them send a coffin that can protect the body for a long time at the fastest speed."
"Aiya, wanting to save him doesn't need to be so troublesome."
An unfamiliar voice appeared extremely abruptly.
The four from the express crew vigilantly looked towards the source of the voice, discovering a girl sitting by the window, constantly swinging her little feet.
The girl wore a red dress, with twin ponytails, casually playing with a kendama in her hand.
Seeing the gazes cast by the few, she raised the corners of her mouth, looking at Leon with a meaningful expression.
Within the charming butterfly pupils, a few traces of inexplicable flashed.
The players were first stunned, curiosity deeply aroused.
So cute, definitely a pool character without doubt.
[So cute!!]
[I seem to have some disrespect towards father, actually wanting to call a stranger wife in this occasion.]
Ah Xian's eyes lit up, immediately sitting straight, her face brimming with excitement.
Of course, not excited because of seeing a cute girl, but because hearing her say there is a method to save Leon.
Stelle: "May I ask who you are, do you know Leon?"
"Know, of course know..."
The girl jumped down from the window, her little feet casually hooking up the wooden clogs.
"I came specially for him, after all, he owes me something not returned yet."
"Oh right, you can call me Sparkle, of course, calling Sparkle-sama is also fine~ Heehee~~"
Stelle and the others exchanged glances, remaining calm.
Welt put away the doubts in his heart, sincerity surging on his face.
"Miss Sparkle, may I ask to inform the method to save him, we Astral Express will definitely send remuneration satisfactory to you."
"Remuneration is not needed, so-called remuneration is mostly very boring."
Sparkle nonchalantly waved her hand, her gaze falling on Leon.
"As long as he wakes up, I naturally can get the remuneration I want, wanting to save him the method is simple, feed him Path power."
"Ah?"
Stelle tilted her head.
Feed Leon Path power?
Each word translated by the synesthesia beacon she understood, but combined, it made one confused.
Any Path power would do?
"May I ask to be more specific?" Dan Heng pursued.
Sparkle little bear spread hands: "I said all I know, even if you continue asking, I have no way to answer more."
Stelle frowned: "Then how dare you confirm, this method can save Leon?"
"...This ah..."
Sparkle's smile on her face stalled, seriously thinking for a moment.
"Can't guarantee, after all the possibility of being tricked is not low."
March 7th's eye corner twitched, her expression becoming somewhat unkind.
"Little girl, our mood now is very bad, teasing people again, watch out for your butt!"
"Ara, little pink hair, don't get angry ma~~"
Seeing March 7th showing signs of red warm, Sparkle giggled as she put her hands behind her waist, body slightly leaning forward looking at her.
"There's an old saying in Luofu how does it go, treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor."
"Anyway you are at a loss, trying won't have any big loss, right?"
"Li-little pink hair?"
Hardened.
March 7th felt her fist hardened.
Even treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor said out, treating Leon as what?
How come this little girl feels so lacking education?
