They fell ill.

Felix carried a wooden bucket filled with hot water to the master bedroom. The curtains were all drawn in broad daylight, but it didn't seem stuffy or turbid at all. The fresh air system was running at full capacity. Ash helped Sonia up and took off her clothes as gently as possible. While Felix was drying himself, he quickly removed the sheets, bedsheets and pillowcases and replaced them with a fluffy three-piece suit that had just been washed and dried to ensure comfort while lying in bed.

Sonia had her eyes closed, her face flushed, her breathing shallow and rapid, her body covered in sweat, but her body was shaking. After Felix dried her body and put on new pajamas, Ash held her head and let her lie down slowly. Sonia suddenly opened her eyes and asked softly, "How do I look...?"

"Very weak, just like Lala Fei." Yaxiu covered her with a blanket and chuckled, "I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I still remember the first time we met in the virtual world, you wanted to chop me with a wooden sword... Revenge is needed, grievances are needed, now is the time for reckoning, I will list all your past deeds and punish you!"

"Small-minded, how can you still remember such a small thing..." Sonia pulled the quilt to cover her mouth, her eyebrows curved, and a sickly smile flashed in the corners of her eyes: "Get out."

Ash dimmed the lights, and went to the second and third bedrooms with Felix, helping Diya and Vichy wipe their bodies one after another. The witch was in a more serious state, and was in a coma the whole time, while Vichy looked very painful, breathing heavily and frowning, but this actually showed that she was in the best condition, at least she could maintain consciousness to fight against the abnormal state of the soul body.

But Vichy was the most noisy, twisting and turning, struggling, saying that she didn't need to be wiped and that she didn't need to change clothes, but she just didn't want to accept their service. Ash knew that she felt it was too embarrassing to need someone to take care of her because she was sick. Perhaps because the illness consumed too much of her thinking resources, she subconsciously wanted to maintain her dignity as a ghost prophet, but she didn't realize how childish her behavior was, just like a kitten who had just entered the rebellious period.

Ash had a plan for this: "Vichy, do you still remember your name?"

"Remember."

“Are there any obvious pain abnormalities?”

"No."

“How do you feel now?”

"I'm very cold and tired. My head feels heavy and my limbs feel weak. My whole body feels as heavy as if it were filled with lead..."

Although her mind was still not clear, Vichy immediately calmed down and tried to clearly state her specific situation, but she forgot that this conversation had happened several times last night. Ash took the opportunity to hug her from behind and let Felix help her wipe the sweat off her body. After her body became clean, Vichy's brows were obviously relaxed, and her spirit that had been holding on for a long time also relaxed, and she fell asleep in Ash's arms.

Felix looked at this venomous woman, curled up in Ash's arms, restrained all malicious vigilance, and even began to hum like an ordinary person, completely showing her powerlessness and weakness. This might be normal for the Sword Witch, but it was very difficult for Vichy - Vichy was the one who woke up the fastest last night, and was also the one who immediately got angry, and almost regarded Visser, who was taking care of her, as an enemy.

Perhaps because of their affinity, Felix always thought that she had a good relationship with Vichy, and could even say that she was the only female friend Vichy had in the team. However, when she wanted to help Vichy back to the room, Vichy pushed her away without hesitation... The sick and confused Ghost Prophet regarded the whole world as an enemy.

In the end, after Ash had hugged Sword Lady and Witch, he came back and held Vichy's hand, and very patiently comforted the Ghost Prophet for more than ten minutes, before the venomous snake, which still had the strength to resist, retracted its fangs and obediently let him lead it back to the room to rest.

Unexpectedly, this trash can is not completely useless... He has not rested since last night, and has been paying attention to their conditions, trying to use various wonders or miracles to heal or weaken their illnesses... If someone calls him, he will rush over immediately, not to mention if there is something, and he will observe for more than ten minutes if there is nothing... And he seems to be able to listen to their voices and needs. Sometimes, Sword Princess and the others just make meaningless hums, but Ash can understand what they want.

The care was boring and tiring, and Felix fell asleep in the middle of the night. A few hours later, she found herself sleeping on the sofa with a blanket covering her. Ash stayed up all night without getting impatient. He checked on the three people every ten minutes of watching the movie. Felix didn't know if he was anxious, but she thought that Sword Princess and the others would be relieved when they opened their eyes and saw Ash as usual.

Actually, Ash is a pretty good guy. It would be even better if he was nice to only one person.

Felix glanced at Vichy who was lying in bed, and suddenly something occurred to him: Although he didn't know why they fell ill, since it was a trial, they probably wouldn't recover for a while. They were no longer the backbone of the team, but Ash had to spend a lot of energy to take care of them...

Now is the most vulnerable juncture of the team, and also the darkest and most difficult moment for Ash. The adventure, which is already full of dangers, has been made worse by the illness of three people. The only lover who can support him is Silver Lantern, and the only people who can help him are Miss Reina and me...

That is to say...if...maybe...

"Felix."

Felix raised his head as if waking from a dream: "Huh?"

"Go wash the quilt and pajamas," Ash took the bucket from her hand, "I'll change the water and apply some on their foreheads."

"Oh, okay."

"And thank you." Ash smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have you and Deda Rose to help me, otherwise I would be in a mess. After all, generally speaking, I am more of a patient who needs care..."

Felix: "This is what I should do. I am also a member of the team."

"But they are not only my teammates, but also my precious treasures." Ash shrugged: "Although you may hate me for saying this, I am thanking them as their lovers."

"I'll have to continue to trouble you. I hope you won't get bored too quickly. In fact, they are quite cute like this... Let's all be a little more patient with them." Ash winked at her and picked up the wooden bucket to prepare ice compress.

Felix went to the bathroom and stuffed all the quilt covers into the washing machine, poured in the detergent beads, selected the preset, and sat down to watch the three-piece suit spinning and bubbling in the drum. She stared blankly for a long time, and suddenly lowered her head in frustration, feeling like the dirty quilt covers in the washing machine, and the despicable thoughts in her heart were being washed away by the strong sense of shame.

…

Ash changed a whole bucket of ice water mixture, made ice packs and applied them on their foreheads, changing them every 15 minutes. He sat beside Sword Princess's bed, watching the red-haired girl lying on the bed more obediently and quietly than ever before, and reached out to pull the hair out of her mouth.

It looked like a fever, and it felt like a fever, but everyone knew it was definitely not a fever. Not to mention demigod magicians, it was difficult for ordinary magicians to get sick. The general view in the academic community was that when a magician communicated with the virtual world, the virtual world would automatically purify the magician's body. Although the effect was not very strong, it was enough to solve all bacteria and viruses in nature.

At the sanctuary level or above, the physical fitness of magicians is basically far superior to that of ordinary people, and they are immune to all diseases. As for the soul body of a demigod magician, although the internal organs still exist, that is just a form of expression, just like the jewels on the crown, which are ornaments used to show one's identity. For example, even if Ash's heart is gone and his head explodes, he will not die. At most, it will take a long time to recover.

The core of a demigod's soul is the soul. As long as the soul is intact, the soul body will be fine. It can be understood that the soul body is a reflection of the soul. No matter how tattered the soul body is, it can be verified that the soul is intact and restored. Therefore, Sword Princess and the others are definitely not sick, but cursed.

But... Ash looked at Sonia, who was sick and confused, as if the person lying in front of him was not a demigod of swordsmanship, but just an ordinary mortal girl.

Did the trial curse make them sick or turn them into mortals?

If this is the Six-Wing Trial, how can Ash help them?

Just as Ash was thinking, he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled. He looked down and saw Sonia's hand stretched out from under the quilt, and her slender fingers hooked around his sleeve.

Ash removed the ice pack from her forehead, wiped the water off with a towel, lifted the back of her head to feed her water, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Sonia shook her head, stretched out her hands and looked at him, her face full of the innocent look of someone who hadn't woken up yet: "Hug me."

Ash smiled lightly, took off his coat and got into bed, holding Sword Princess in his arms. Sword Princess moved around and finally found the most comfortable position, nestling on his chest like a little bear. With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Ash had no lustful thoughts at all, and his thoughts drifted to the days when they were exploring the sea of ​​knowledge.

A stubborn girl full of energy since we first met, a teammate who has been fighting alongside me since the beginning of the ocean of knowledge... You are the light that illuminates the confusion, the color that brightens the world, and the ideal of the world in the scorching galaxy.

I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Ash rubbed Sonia's face affectionately and said, "It's finally my turn to take care of you."
