Li Aili readily agreed, saying, "May the god of magic bless us."
Lord Jupiter of the Red Tower was carried into a detached house in the forest on the west side of the castle.
Li Aili, who came from the back garden, happened to see Jupiter lying on the bed like a corpse.
Edward Martin anxiously stayed by his bedside.
It must be said that in just five days, Knight Edward had unilaterally cultivated a solid foundation of friendship with this future 'colleague'.
Li Ai Li was taken aback by the old man's behavior and whispered for Edward Martin to inquire about the situation.
Edward replied, "At the end of the first day, Jupiter was greatly distressed. He refused to leave the wall of ice and fire, and refused to eat or drink."
"I kept repeating 'This is impossible,' 'Why hasn't it melted yet,' and 'I must be dreaming.'"
Li Aili nodded, analyzing in her mind that this was a refusal to accept reality.
"On the second day, I was very worried about his mental state, so I tried to talk him out of it."
"As a result, he got very angry with me. But I can understand him. If it weren't for your potion, even if I had survived by chance, I would probably have become this annoying person," Edward said understandingly.
"On the third day, he would ask me for water, but he still wouldn't close his eyes to rest."
"On the fourth day, he started asking me about you."
"On the fifth day, I felt that Jupiter was hallucinating. He would suddenly jump up and say that the ice was about to melt."
“On the sixth day he started crying,” Edward described as vividly as possible with his meager vocabulary, “the kind of wailing, loud crying.”
Li Aili nodded. She could understand how much someone cried when their faith had collapsed.
"He fainted when the ice melted."
Li Aili exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, you haven't closed your eyes to sleep for seven days?"
Edward shook his head. "He's afraid we'll throw [Frost Potion] into the ice wall while he's asleep."
Li Aili sighed, "That's really something. I've heard of taming eagles, but this is the first time I've heard of taming one's own."
Li Aili entered the room, took out the 'King of Roses' hidden in the flower basket, and carefully placed it in Jupiter's clasped hands.
Joanna, witnessing this scene: "..."
Li Aili asked in a low voice, "Do you think the Duke would believe us if we framed me, his 'founding disciple,' for this?"
Joanna: "..."
Li Aili's voice startled Jupiter awake from his deathbed.
It gave her quite a fright.
Jupiter stared at Li Aili for a long time, then slammed his fist on the bed, as if a hero had severed his own arm, and said, "I, Jupiter, keep my word. From today onwards, you will be my teacher of alchemy!"
"There is no longer Jupiter, the Lord of the Red Tower, in this world! There is only Jupiter, the Apprentice Alchemist!"
Li Aili immediately received a notification from the 'Alchemy House':
[You have successfully promoted alchemy, gaining 100 points of professional reputation.]
[You have abducted a follower from the God of Magic, gaining 200 points of class reputation.]
Li Aili: "..."
After shouting loudly, Jupiter's neck tilted to the side, and he fainted again.
