Herag looked at Emil seriously and said, "I am a Wizard, you can't conceal it from me. There are multiple hidden injuries in your body, and your internal organs are damaged as well. It must have been from some battle where you sustained severe injuries, relying on the energy of the Life Seed to maintain normal bodily functions."
"But this won't last. If nothing unexpected happens, in another five years, as your bodily functions decline, your injuries will worsen rapidly, and then you won't have much time left."
As soon as Herag said this, Melissa's face turned pale, and she clutched Emil's hand tightly, as if afraid he would leave her in the next second.
"Herag, save him." Melissa began to cry again, her voice slightly choked with sobs.
Emil's expression was complex; he seemed to not have expected Herag to completely see through his internal condition.
As a Great Knight, Emil was naturally very aware of his own body and understood his situation well.
Emil had once fought with an assassin of Great Knight Level in secret to protect his family.
If it were a direct confrontation, that person definitely wouldn't be Emil's match.
But Emil couldn't allow a Great Knight Level assassin to linger in the shadows, as that would pose a huge threat to his family.
He had to eliminate this hidden danger quickly!
As for how to resolve it, it was simple: use himself as bait to lure the opponent into revealing themselves to make a move on him.
Though doing so would put himself in great danger, it was the only viable option.
The opponent indeed took the bait. Even though Emil had prepared in advance, he was still severely injured in battle.
However, he ultimately won, exchanging his grave injuries for the opponent's life, thus removing the potential threat to his family.
Since then, Emil knew he didn't have long to live and began planning his future, subsequently founding the Knight Academy to train talent for himself.
He was also very strict with Eric, because as the eldest son of this generation, Eric would have to bear the family's responsibilities in the future.
Emil had no complaints about his own fate; he felt he had lived long enough, and living a few more years was just a bonus.
The only regret was not being able to spend a few more years with Melissa and see the children grow up, get married, and have children.
To prevent Melissa from worrying, Emil didn't mention this matter to her.
"I... I'm fine." Emil hugged the weeping Melissa, and after a long silence, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head to say.
He seemed to be comforting Melissa, but also seemed to be comforting himself.
Herag broke the atmosphere by saying, "Since I'm here, you won't die. Not only won't you die, but you'll be more vigorous."
For ordinary people, this is an unsolvable problem, but for Herag, it's not an issue at all.
He had many ways to solve the problem Emil faced, he just needed the most suitable one.
Herag thought for a moment and said, "Let me take a closer look at your situation."
After carefully observing and recording Emil's condition, it wasn't long before he developed a magic potion specifically targeting Emil's condition.
He didn't lack Magic Potion Materials; there was a huge pile in the Small Plane, more than he could ever use.
Without delay, Herag went directly to the adjacent room, took out various bottles and jars, and began Alchemy.
For him now, Alchemy posed no difficulty, and each movement could be executed with extreme precision.
A moment later, a sky-blue liquid appeared in Herag's hand.
He came out holding the magic potion and handed it to Emil saying, "Drink it straight."
Emil took the magic potion, and without hesitation, tipped his head back and drank it down in gulps.
Once the potion entered his body, its energy quickly spread throughout Emil's body, converging at the damaged areas of his internal organs, repairing them at an extremely rapid pace.
Not only that, but the hidden injuries Emil had accumulated over the years were also healed in an instant, restored to perfection.
"This..." Emil was very keenly aware of the changes in his body and sensed the entire process clearly.
Experiencing the wonders of the magic potion for the first time, he found it hard to believe.
Herag laughed and said, "The effect is pretty good, isn't it? Your body now is younger and stronger than Eric's."
Emil stood up, moved around a bit, and said joyfully, "I feel like I'm twenty again."
"Really?" Melissa still had traces of tears on her face, and she reached out to feel Emil's muscles, indeed sensing the vitality in Emil's body.
She said, "Let's try it out later."
Herag laughed, took out World Tree Juice, and said, "By the way, each of you gets one, consume it."
"What is this?" Melissa asked curiously, looking at the World Tree Juice that looked like exquisite jewelry.
"This is the World Tree Juice of the Elf Race, eating it grants you a long life of three hundred years," Herag introduced.
"Three hundred years!" In the room were all Emil's family, not a single servant, all exclaiming in shock.
They hurriedly looked at the World Tree Juice in Herag's hand, inspecting it carefully.
They had no doubts about Herag's words, but they were amazed at seeing such a miraculous treasure for the first time.
"This... this is too precious, this is a treasure!" Although Melissa longed for youth, she understood what should and shouldn't be taken.
In her view, an item that could extend one's life by three hundred years must be the most precious treasure in the world; how could ordinary people like themselves be worthy of such a thing?
Herag had already helped them a lot, and they couldn't be greedy.
Emil quickly refused as well, "Herag, put these things away, we don't need them. We're all ordinary people, content to live our lives peacefully. These things are more valuable to you. I know you wizards often spend decades studying a single problem."
Over the years, Emil had naturally heard about wizards from time to time, and because it concerned Herag, he often took the initiative to learn more.
Seeing Emil and the others being so considerate of him, Herag couldn't help but be moved and explained, "This thing can only be taken once; taking it a second time has no effect. I've already taken it. Besides, this is not really a treasure to me. I have a good relationship with the Elf Race; I can just get more from them if needed. You all take it. This stuff has been sitting with me for a long time, it's of no use to me now."
"I wouldn't give it to strangers, it's specially reserved for you."
Herag then took out a piece and handed it to Misu. Misu laughed, picked it up, and ate it directly.
