Chapter 46: Giving out sweets?
Master Bocolonch is an old man, he is over 70 years old, with a big white beard, wearing a plain gray robe, looking like Gandalf, but he is bald.
Of course, this master was not as strong as Gandalf. He was just an ordinary skinny old man who would fall down if the wind blew.
"Hocas, you're back. How was the dinner? Those mercenaries didn't give you any trouble, did they?" Master Bocolanchi, who was sitting in the study, saw Viscount Hocas walk into the room. He casually put the book in his hand on the table, pushed the half-moon glasses (the same style as Dumbledore) on the bridge of his nose with his right hand, smiled happily, and opened his mouth to reveal a few teeth.
Although most civilians still use kerosene lamps and other open flames for lighting, Viscount Hocas's home has electricity.
His castle had its own generator, and electric lighting meant a beacon of civilization in that era.
Some hotels will advertise that their rooms are equipped with electric lights, but you have to pay extra for accommodation.
Scholars are using technology to change people's lives. If the emergence of shadow beasts had not impacted the budding development of technology to a certain extent, the farmers would have almost entered the industrial revolution by now.
However, the appearance of the shadow beast represents the revival of mystery. The two seemingly unrelated systems of new science and revived mystery are unexpectedly intertwined by fate...
These are truly changing times.
Viscount Horcas bowed respectfully and said, "Master, I have brought you a guest. I hope I have not disturbed you."
"Are there guests? Welcome, welcome." Master Bokolanchi clapped his hands with a smile. He took off his glasses and looked at Shuichi carefully.
"Hello, sir. My name is Shuichi, and I'm a... well, a mercenary, I guess." Shuichi was still very respectful to the elderly and loved the young. Seeing the old man looking at him, he did not show any fear. He took a step forward with confidence, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly: "It is indeed a bit abrupt to visit you at night. Please forgive me if I disturb you."
"Oh, cute little guy, come here to grandpa, do you want some candy?" The old man was very enthusiastic. Without waiting for Xiuyi to respond, he opened the drawer of the table, took out a handful of beautifully wrapped candies, and stuffed them into Xiuyi's hands.
The old man's enthusiasm made Shuichi a little overwhelmed, but he did not refuse. Instead, he thanked him respectfully and put the candy into his trouser pockets, filling them up.
"Master...how come I didn't know you had hidden so much candy?"
The old man froze for a moment in embarrassment, but he quickly reacted and said with a wry smile, "I didn't eat any. I just took a look. I didn't eat any secretly..."
"..."
Viscount Horcas continued to stare at the old man angrily. Master Bocolanqi then lowered his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong: "I take one pill a day. I have controlled myself well..."
Judging from the interaction between the two, the relationship between Viscount Hocas and Master Bocolanchi is very close, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are family.
And judging from the fact that Viscount Hocas restricted Master Bocolanchi from eating sugar, the old man was most likely suffering from diabetes.
But then again, the old man's teeth are almost all gone, so there probably isn't anything else he can eat except candy.
Speaking of which, dentures seem to have not been invented yet... Well, what we are talking about here are dentures that will not cause too much trouble to patients, not gold teeth that are more decorative than practical.
Shuichi didn't know much about diabetes, but he knew that the typical symptom of diabetes was that the urine had a sweet smell, like rotten apples, and even attracted ants.
In addition, diabetes has many complications that can cause great damage to the human body.
"Excuse me, are you talking about diabetes?"
Shuichi couldn't help but ask.
"Well, the doctor from the society checked it out for me, and it did say so." Master Bokulangqi smiled and touched Shuichi's head: "How did you know about this disease?"
Strictly speaking, diabetes is a disease of affluence, the kind that poor people are unlikely to get.
After all, sugar has been something that only wealthy people can afford since ancient times.
It was only with the development of technology that sugar became common.
In other words, many people in this world don’t even know what diabetes is.
However, Shuichi can see that he has diabetes from the fact that Viscount Hocas does not allow Master Bocolanchi to eat sugar. From this, we can conclude that Shuichi's identity must be extraordinary.
At least Viscount Hocas and Master Bocolangqi felt that Xiuyi was not simple.
Viscount Hocas became more certain of the speculation that Xiuyi was the illegitimate son of a noble noble.
Although illegitimate children cannot be seen in public, but... he is indeed very outstanding and has aristocratic blood... Well, my daughter is exactly 9 years old this year, and her age is about the same...
How do you know you have diabetes?
“……” Xiuyi didn’t know how to answer, so he kept silent.
Many times, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. On the contrary, if you don’t say anything, it will cause others to make up their own ideas.
Seeing that Xiuyi was silent, Viscount Hocas and Master Bocolangqi had no intention of asking further questions.
"So what do you suggest for my illness, kid?"
Although he didn't intend to ask for the reasons, Master Bocolanqi still had a lot of questions.
"Well, you can't eat sugar. As for the diet, you can't eat things that are high in oil, salt, sugar, fatty meat, fried food, etc. As for fruits, you can't eat bananas, grapes, etc. But you can consider eating some eggs, milk, apples... Well, that's all I know."
After hearing what Shuichi said, Viscount Hocas and Bocolanchi were shocked.
Because what he said is all right, but not all right...
It's not entirely correct because some of the dietary taboos that Xiuyi mentioned are unknown to them themselves, including the doctors specially sent by the Boshi Society, and they still need to be verified.
However, judging from the fact that Xiuyi was able to say so much correct information in one breath, the information that has not been verified yet is most likely true.
Are there people or organizations in this world who are more scientific than the Academy of Scientific Studies?
Viscount Hocas and Master Bocolanchi both felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
“I’m curious, why do you eat sugar every day even though you know you have diabetes?”
Xiuyi didn't quite believe Master Bokolanchi's explanation that he ate a candy every day.
Because he felt that since Master Bocolanchi could put a lot of candy in his drawer, he must be addicted to sugar.
It's really unrealistic for such a person to say that he can only eat one candy a day without supervision.
But judging from the master's physical condition, it doesn't seem like his diabetes is very serious.
Master Bocolangqi smiled proudly: "Well, this disease has indeed caused me a lot of trouble, but I am a scholar after all, and I always have my own way."
"Oh, Master, do you have any secret recipe?"
Xiuyi thought of many things. After all, this old man was a scholar representing the Society of Knowledge, an organization composed of the world's top intellectuals. Judging from his age and personality, he should be the type who is more prestigious in the Society of Knowledge and has a wide range of travel experiences.
It is very normal for a master like him to get some secret recipes from his friends who are also scholars.
"Secret recipe?" The master stroked his goatee and laughed, "I guess so."
Without waiting for Xiuyi to ask, Master Bokolangqi took out a relic card from his pocket and threw it out.
The relic card turned into a ball of black mist entangled in the air, and within two seconds it turned into a white-bearded and white-robed magician who looked somewhat similar to Master Bokolanchi and was about the same age.
As soon as the magician appeared, he glared at Master Bocolanqi unhappily, raised his wooden staff with both hands, and muttered spells that ordinary people could not understand.
After a while, a gem on the top of the staff began to shine, and a ball of white star-like light fell from the sky and landed right on Master Bokolanchi's head.
The master let the rays of light fall on his body as if he was caught in a light rain.
The master was worthy of being a master. While welcoming the baptism of the light spot, he still did not forget to open his drawer, peeled off the candy wrapper of a candy, and put the candy into his mouth with a smile in front of Viscount Hocas.
Seeing Master Bokolanchi eating candy proudly, the Whitebeard Magician cleverly rolled his eyes at the old man, then turned himself back into a relic card and automatically flew back to Master Bokolanchi's hands.
Xiuyi was stunned when he saw this scene.
He was still overthinking in his mind one second, and was stunned by the old man's combination of punches the next second.
Is this the secret recipe?
It’s obviously a mysterious power!!
