There was still a carnival like a mountain roar and a tsunami outside, but inside the carriage it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
"Gaia."
Liu Yu decided to test his guess whether it was mind reading or something else.
She grabbed Gaia's hand at once.
It feels slightly cool to the touch, and even the tip of the nose seems to be filled with the cold air of ice and snow. Her hands trembled slightly, but firmly covered her heart:
"can you hear?"
idiot!
Gaia shook her head:
"Can't hear."
"Listen to it again." Liu Yu played it in a loop like a screaming chicken in his heart, "Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot—"
"Can't hear."
Gaia still shook her head.
His delicate face was filled with bewilderment.
"Belia, what did you say? And... this, what is it?"
The young man shook his cool hand, and the young girl let out a soft cry.
She gritted her teeth and said softly:
"Well, I'm saying, 'Gaia you're beautiful, I, Belia... love it'."
"like?"
Gaia looked towards the sky and asked ravingly, "What is liking?"
Liu Yu ignored him, her attention was still on the previous 'mind reading technique':
"Can Gaia only hear the wishes of those people?"
"It seems so." The boy's slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, with a kind of fragile delicacy, "It's okay if you don't wish, but you... it's very quiet there."
He is very sure.
Liu Yu: ...
Well, she was sure.
It doesn't matter whose voice Gaia can hear, it's not hers anyway.
Maybe it's because her soul is not of this world, maybe it's because she doesn't believe in God.
He couldn't hear it anyway.
This is good.
"Let's go, go to the medical hall."
The coachman recovered from his frenzy and returned to the front of the car.
The carriage started moving again.
———
The large and small medical centers in the Kingdom of Sauron will hang a red cross on the spire of the building, so it is often called the "Red Cross Building".
The Rover Medical Hall is the largest Red Cross building in the city-state of Solo. It is full of traffic and pedestrians all the year round.
But even so, when another old, dusty carriage stopped, the guys still spotted the golden iris logo of the Fergus family on the axle.
"Hey Totai, it's your turn this time."
"No, no, Lev, I don't want to be whipped again. Miss Belia's whip will not be lenient just because of an old acquaintance..."
"Poor Miss Bella, last time the Marchioness of Mobile said, '...no decent man in the world would marry Miss Fergus! No!'" a clerk imitated the lady screaming, "I Look, those respectable gentlemen in the city, though willing to have a little romance with Miss Fergus, would never marry her home. After all, Miss Fergus has neither a rich dowry nor a mother who can't stand …”
The guys in the medical hall pushed and shoved, no one was willing to go.
At this moment, the carriage door of the Fergus family opened from the inside.
The first thing that catches people's eyes is a hand, so white that blue blood vessels can almost be seen in the sun, pointing to a rose ring, and then, a strong rose purple blooms, puffed sleeves, puffed skirt, and then , the whole person came out.
Miss Bellia was standing by the carriage.
Her long golden wavy hair glistened in the sun, her skin was whiter and more delicate than Antuan's milk, and her lips were more pink and delicate than roses.
When she smiled slightly, her azure eyes also began to sparkle, like the boundless sea of Cardonau, pure and affectionate...
The guys were all dumbfounded.
"Ms. Belle, Miss Belia... seems to be different."
"Oh, she's more charming than I saw last time, Totai, I'd like to take a whip, no, three lashes..."
At this moment, Miss Belia, who was standing still, stretched out her hand towards the carriage again.
A slender white hand rested between her palms, with well-defined phalanges, like the finest artwork; lightly shaking both hands, a young man bent over and walked out.
He stood up straight, the sun shone on his pale face, the breeze blew the lace hairband over his eyes, and the fine light and shadow swirled playfully around him...
He was bathed in a golden sun.
Light is clothing, light is shadow.
The guys seemed to see the huge marble statue in the center of the city overlooking them.
Subconsciously crawled down, bent halfway before waking up:
God of light is above! what are they doing? !
But looking at the people around them, regardless of whether they were commoners or nobles, they all bowed and knelt in unison. The only difference lies in one point of rudeness and one point of elegance—
"God, why do we kneel down to a commoner?!"
This was the voice of almost everyone present.
Of course Liu Yu couldn't feel the "magic power" of the incarnation of the God of Light, so she took Gaia's hand very naturally:
"Be careful, there are steps."
The two walked over without anyone else.
Everyone woke up from their dreams.
Totai runs very fast:
"Miss Belia, this... sir."
He looked at the slender and tall young man beside him curiously and in awe. For some reason, when he got close to him, his knees were a little out of order.
"Still looking for Dr. Shinku, right?"
It seemed that the original body was always looking for this person.
Liu Yu nodded:
"Yes, lead the way."
Dr. Xinku is at the corner of the second floor. He is a kind and bearded man, probably overused at ordinary times, and he is middle-aged and bald. When he sees Liu Yu, he happily shows his big white teeth.
"Miss Belia!" the doctor called her, "Are you feeling unwell again?"
Liu Yu carefully led Gaia across the door and sat down by the window.
"It's not me, my friend..." Her voice was urgent and helpless, "Gaia is bleeding a lot, doctor begs you to save him quickly..."
Xinku looked at Belia's red eyes strangely:
This lady has never been such a kind person.
But as soon as his eyes fell on Gaia, his face immediately tightened:
"Eyes hurt?"
"Yes. Doctor, Gaia's eyes...is it still possible to save?"
The pure white lace headband fell to the ground, with blood on one side.
Dr. Shinku lifted the boy's eyelids, and the two empty holes faced him.
He was stunned:
"Unfortunately, this is the domain of God."
"Can-"
"Belia." Gaia interrupted her, "This is my destiny."
When the boy talked about his eyes, his complexion was still pale, as if losing the light was no big deal to him.
Liu Yu stared at him blankly for a while, then turned his head away:
She is very fortunate that she comes from a world that has not been tamed by gods.
Dr. Xinku's chubby body jumped up and down around Gaia for a while, doing examinations, applying medicine to bandage the wound, and finally prescribed a secondary medicine:
"Miss Belia, he's fine, he's fine. Except for excessive blood loss and some weakness, nothing better. I've never seen such a perfect body."
"Oh, that would be great." The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, crying with joy, "Thank you for the blessing of the God of Light."
"Ninety-six rupees." Dr. Shinku happily billed him. "Miss, you know we never pay on credit here."
Liu Yu: ...
There is no place to hide money all over the body.
She took out the golden iris flower and stroked it for a while before reluctantly handing it over:
"I put the badge of the Fergus family here, don't worry that I will renege on the bill."
At the end, the girl's voice was already crying.
"Go to the first floor to get the medicine."
Dr. Shinku put away the badge neatly.
The girl stood up, stepped on her high-heeled shoes and walked out. When she walked out, she turned her head and said, "Dr. Xinku, this is... very important to me. Please keep it carefully. I will definitely come to redeem it tomorrow!"
"Miss Belia, don't worry."
The figure of the girl disappeared behind the corridor.
Xinku looked outside the door and said with emotion:
"I've never seen Miss Belia like this. She regards the badge of the Fergus family as important as her life, but she is willing to mortgage it for you..."
"She must love you very much."
Liu Yu twitched his mouth when he heard this sentence, and went to the first floor to get the medicine without waiting for Gaia's reaction.
When I reached the first floor, I found that everyone had disappeared.
The main hall, which was crowded just now, is now empty, not even the pharmacist who should be on duty in the pharmacy. Turning my head, I realized that everyone was standing at the door, all stretching their necks like giraffes to look out.
She walked over suspiciously, and found a group of people walking by on the long and wide street.
They wore large white robes with golden suns and silver moons embroidered on the hem, and they went on foot in such a procession. Feng Haohao blew their long hair vigorously, and lifted the hem of their robes.
After the white robe passed, it was the golden armor.
Soldiers, holding long swords and riding big horses, passed by in line.
Wherever the team passed by, there were holy lights rising in the air, and softly chanted songs fluttering in the wind.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, and stood solemnly.
Liu Yu just felt that his heart was like wandering in a warm and cheerful ocean, where there was only light, no darkness; only happiness, no sadness.
"I heard that the statue of light in Solo City performed a miracle today. No wonder the angel in white and the golden knight are dispatched together."
"It's such an honor to serve God... It would be great if I could become an envoy or a knight."
"Are you dreaming? Only when the crystal ball lights up and you become a god-favored person are you qualified to be an angel or knight. Speaking of which, the selection of the god-favored person is about to begin..."
The selection of the favored ones
Liu Yu remembered the plot in the book.
If the turning point of Belia's life was to goug out the eyes of the God of Light and be thrown into prison, then the turning point of Nataxi's fate was to become the favored of the gods.
In this world, the division between nobles and commoners is like a gap, but the only thing that can bridge this gap is the power of God.
This kind of power is even more domineering and unpredictable.
The so-called god-favored person refers to a person who is favored by God—
They are born with a physique that can practice divine arts, can serve the gods, and receive divine powers.
Those favored by gods are higher than nobles; nobles are higher than ordinary people.
Nataxi passed the test of the God's favored person and became a nobler existence than the nobles. She was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the royal family, and since then she has been able to enjoy herself like a fish in water. However, the original body fell into the trough of life because she missed the test.
But what if... the original body was not favored by God
Liu Yu clenched the prescription tightly in his hand and told himself that it was okay.
Be patient, just be patient.
The most urgent task is to get through this mortal calamity first, and then consider matters of the favored ones.
It is best to be the one favored by the gods, but it doesn't matter if it is not.
There may be rules in this world, but all the rules are made by God—
God can make people out of bones, and can create and destroy the world.
So, everything, finally boiled down to one point:
To please Gaia.
Liu Yu sorted out the priorities in his mind, went upstairs after dispensing the medicine, and led Gaia downstairs while Dr. Xinku was nagging.
The boy went down the stairs quietly, but the girl chattered and described the situation to him just now.
"...if only I could pass the test, then I could serve the gods forever."
She excitedly and whispered hopefully, "Gaia? Will you go for the test in three days' time?"
"I don't know." The boy shook his head, "Belia, I... don't remember anything."
"Then you go with me." She shook his hand, "Anyway, you don't know what to do now, do you? They all say that the favored one is very good... maybe, there will be magic that can heal you s eyes."
You should bring your big golden legs with you.
Liu Yu admitted that she was very greedy.
She wanted to live again, and she also wanted to live a good life, to become a master.
"it is good."
The light, graceful voice rang out again.
After a while, with some hesitation:
"Belia, your feet... don't hurt anymore?"
"It didn't hurt at all."
The girl seemed to be exhausted, and staggered, "But when I came back after getting the medicine, I felt a little hurt again."
"...the iris was placed at Dr. Xinku's place, I hope my mother can scold me a little bit when I get home..."
"… sorry."
After a long time, Gaia made a soft sound.
The girl leaned on the boy, smiling like a fox:
"It's okay, you are friends."
"Gaia, friends are meant to help each other."
"I'll help you too."
