After Eureka had left, it was only then that Leon, who had been listening attentively but somewhat confusedly, approached. He had been caring for Jon for several years, yet there were many things that he was hearing for the first time, such as the Lifedrawn Water and the Abyss Rune Card that Angel had revealed earlier.
There was a hint of perplexity in Leon’s eyes, but he chose not to voice his doubts. Instead, he asked Angel, “The method you mentioned just now, could it bring Jon back to life?”
Angel replied, “It can only prolong Jon’s life for a while. However, to truly save him, we need to find another way.”
“Do you have any solutions yet?”
“No,” Angel slowly shook his head, yet there was no surrender in his gaze, “Wizards have myriad ways up their sleeves, I believe there must be a method that can cater to Jon’s condition.”
Leon placed a hand on Angel’s shoulder, “I hope you can succeed.”
“In the next few days, I will spend some time in the Ice Chamber, calculating the various data points of the Three-State Balance,” Angel paused, “When I returned to the Old Land Continent this time, I actually took on a Guide Mission. I found a talent, currently staying with Uncle George, could you arrange his accommodation for me? He could stay in the mansion or in town, either is fine.”
Leon nodded, “Alright.”
After Leon left, Angel remained in the Ice Chamber, constantly monitoring Jon’s condition with his mental power. At the same time, he brought out pen and paper, starting to calculate the data needed to maintain the Three-State Balance.
As Eureka had previously mentioned, once the Abyss Rune Card was used, the balance between the rate of the World Will’s erosion, the rate of physical dissolution, and the rate of consumption of the Lifedrawn Water would be broken. Therefore, he had to address both the issues of the physical body and the Lifedrawn Water simultaneously.
He had the Lifedrawn Water at hand, so all he needed to calculate was the required quantity.
However, restoring the physical body to health was a challenging issue. Firstly, Jon was already on the brink of collapse, so any method used, such as potions, must be gentle and harmless. Secondly, every organ in the human body naturally maintains a relative balance. Jon’s bodily functions have been severely weakened. If Angel was to improve Jon’s physical condition, he must also take into consideration the balance of all major functions.
Therefore, the amount of data that needs to be calculated here is massive and complex.
While Angel was busy calculating the data, Eureka was at that time standing on a stilted wooden building at the southeast corner of the mansion, gazing in the direction of the Ice Chamber.
This stilted building was constructed on a small hillock, suspended on three sides and completely supported by pillars, displaying a clever architectural design. The original owner of this building was Jon, but after Jon moved to the Ice Chamber, it was left vacant. Now, Eureka was using it as a place to recuperate and rest.
“Leon’s younger brother, huh?” Eureka revealed a slight smile, “That’s quite interesting. Don’t you think so, Blaire?”
A snowy owl flapped its wings, alighting at the edge of the window.
“This afternoon, I had a feeling that the boy saw through me… He understands gravity lines, knows that I can’t keep him here, and even dares to probe me by leading me in circles,” Eureka’s fingers gently stroked the owl’s feathers. “And that magical pet, you, Blaire, are also a bird like it, so how can you be so much weaker?”
The owl hooted in dissatisfaction a couple of times.
“Alright, alright, you’re different, you’re different,” Eureka pouted dismissively.
The owl continued to hoot, pointing at its own eyes with its short, stubby wings and calling out with all its might.
“Your glasses, huh… Don’t worry, I’ll help you get justice,” Eureka had originally planned to have the redhead bring back a single-lens glasses for Blaire. However, that Angel seemed quite wealthy, nonchalantly taking out Lifedrawn Water, so perhaps she could swindle him a bit.
Moreover, Angel seemed to have a spatial bracelet. The fact that he could afford spatial items even at the apprentice stage indicated his wealth.
As Eureka was teasing Blaire, footsteps echoed from the courtyard.
A while later, Leon appeared inside the room.
“You’re here quite early?” Eureka wasn’t surprised at Leon’s presence.
“Lady Eureka, can you tell me… What did the words you spoke to my brother today mean? Does Jon have any more secrets?” Leon’s expression was serious. He found Eureka’s timing odd; she usually wouldn’t visit Jon, so he thought she wasn’t interested in him. But now, it seemed he was mistaken.
Eureka flicked the loose hair from her cheeks, “When you enter the Wizarding World, you’ll naturally understand. However, there’s no harm in telling you now.”
“About Jon, we need to start from the origin of humanity…”
By the time Eureka finished speaking, Leon’s expression was one of shock. He had never imagined Jon’s value to be so high. In Eureka’s words, Jon was an existence that could disrupt the norms of the Wizarding World!
No wonder Angel seemed absent-minded at the banquet. If he were in Angel’s position, learning that Jon had been discovered by other wizards, he would probably react the same way.
“Lady Eureka, could Jon be a descendant of humans who migrated to a different dimension?”
“Impossible. Even if humans migrated from the Wizarding World to another dimension, their descendants would be acknowledged by the Wizarding World through their bloodline and wouldn’t be rejected. It’s certain that Jon is a human not from the Wizarding World.”
“If you have no more questions, you may leave.” Eureka stretched lazily, “After today’s physical exertion, I need to get some good sleep.”
Leon thought for a moment and finally asked, “Lady Eureka, what is your attitude towards Jon?”
“If I tell you, will you inform Angel?”
Leon remained silent, tacitly accepting.
“Actually, it wouldn’t hurt to tell you, but if you relay this to Angel, he might not necessarily believe it,” Eureka stated, “As much as I’d like to study Jon, I have more issues of my own to deal with, plus, I’m not particularly interested in a specimen that’s destined to die.”
“However, while my interest in Jon is quite average… Redhead is a different story.”
The Redhead Eureka referred to was Leon’s self-proclaimed mentor — “Redhead” Suis.
“But Mentor, like you, hasn’t visited Jon much over these years,” Leon hesitated to speak.
“Not visiting the Ice Chamber doesn’t mean he’s not thinking about it. Moreover, Suis’s attitude towards Jon is indifferent to life or death. Even a corpse has high research value.”
When Leon left, he was somewhat bewildered. He wasn’t sure if what Eureka said was true, but whether it was or not, it seemed that Angel’s greatest adversary was not Eureka, but his own mentor.
……
A week later, Angel emerged from the Ice Chamber and arrived at the stilt building.
Looking at this familiar wooden building, a rush of memories flashed through Angel’s mind. The place where he spent the most time in his first fourteen years was right here.
But while the memories remained, the objects were still there, but the people were not.
When he arrived, Eureka was still looking drowsy. Seeing her like this, Angel became even more convinced that there was something wrong with Eureka’s mental strength. Otherwise, with the strength of a formal wizard, she could stay awake indefinitely.
But Angel didn’t voice it out, he buried his speculation in his heart.
“What brings you to me?” Eureka rubbed her sleepy eyes, half-leaning on the table, lazily looking at Angel.
“I’ve finished calculating the data for the Three-State Balance,” Angel pulled out a stack of papers filled with data and handed them to Eureka.
A flicker of surprise passed through Eureka’s eyes. Could it be that she had actually slept for a month this time? Otherwise, how could he possibly have completed such a large amount of data processing so quickly?
According to Eureka’s estimate, with the data processing capability of a common third-level apprentice, it would take at least two months to complete, and there was no guarantee of accuracy. Even though she had a high opinion of Angel, she estimated it would take a month, but in the end, he finished in less than a week?
What Eureka didn’t know was that Angel’s data processing ability had greatly improved when he was calculating with the Universal Axis. Later, he developed the Supercomputing state. When the two are combined, his simple computational power reaches an astonishing level.
When Eureka carefully reviewed the data and the formulas used, with a little backtracking, she could see that there was not a single mistake in this data, it was so neat that it could be used as a model.
She looked Angel up and down, “The surprises you bring me are increasing. I’m beginning to doubt, are you and Leon really blood brothers?”
“Indistinguishable from the genuine article.”
“Why do I get the feeling that Leon, that boy, is just so dense?” Eureka whispered under her breath, “Has he grown muscles in his brain or what?”
Angel: “…”
Eureka handed over the data to Angel and then stood up. “Let’s go. I know what you came to me for. I will help you stabilize the Three-State Balance. After all… I don’t want Jon to die like this either.”
Angel paused, took the data, said nothing more, and walked towards the Ice Chamber.
The reason Angel was in such a rush to achieve this Three-State Balance was because if time continued to drag on, the lifespan that could originally maintain Jon for two years might become shorter and shorter, and even lose its effect.
Upon reaching the Ice Chamber and facing Jon’s body again, Angel’s actions became cautious and meticulous.
Angel’s job was to perform variable substitutions. He had to operate on three lines simultaneously, not only replacing the Lifedrawn Water, but also promptly revitalizing Jon’s depleted body, and affixing the Abyss Rune Card onto Jon.
On the other hand, Eureka had to maintain the basic Three-State Balance. Because during the substitution of variables, there would be a momentary gap, which was when Eureka needed to be careful.
Angel closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then nodded at Eureka, “I’m starting.”
He summoned two Magic Hands at the same time and started the multi-line operation. Replacing the Lifedrawn Water and affixing the Abyss Rune Card did not require too much precision, so he left it to the Magic Hands to complete. He himself took out bottle after bottle of potion from his bracelet, along with his self-prepared suitable solutions, to nourish Jon’s body.
Eureka had already learned from the data what potions Angel was going to use, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional seeing him actually taking them out.
Just the value of these potions that Angel took out was almost equivalent to the Lifedrawn Water. She wondered how Angel made his money, maybe she should learn from him?
