Feeling deeply guilty, Enleco pulled the girl into his room.
The girl was baffled by this. She really didn't understand what the underage traveler was planning to do. Just now I pushed myself out so mercilessly, and now I am pulling myself back into the room impatiently. What does this mean? Could it be that this guy suddenly changed his mind and wanted to have fun with him
Thinking of this, the girl gently took off her clothes, leaving only a pair of translucent thin underwear. She was not going to let go of the prey in front of her again. The half-grown baby in front of her had not yet matured. The boy is obviously a young boy who has never experienced such a scene. Moreover, the person who works in this hotel and delivers the news to him has told him that the boy is quite rich and is probably a nobleman, so he can definitely learn from this boy. I got a lot of money, maybe my life can be guaranteed this month.
Thinking of this, the little girl became even more eager to make some sin-inducing actions, hoping to seduce the young nobleman in front of her. But to her surprise, the little noble turned a blind eye to this. He kept busy there, looking around.
The little girl was puzzled by this, but fortunately she soon knew what the boy was doing in the dark room. I saw that as the boy raised his hand slightly, a soft but bright fire light floated from his palm. The light from the fire flickered in the oil lamp hanging high on the ceiling of the room.
All this surprised the little girl. She did not expect that the half-grown boy in front of her was actually a magician. The girl secretly rejoiced that she had found a good prey this time. A magician had a much higher status than those ordinary nobles. These people may not be very rich, but they often bring others with them. They are extremely valuable treasures in their eyes. I heard that all magicians use those priceless gems as magic raw materials. If you can get one or two such gems, then you and your family will not have to worry about their lives.
Thinking of this, the girl became even more excited. After the oil lamp was lit, the girl saw Enleco holding a long white gauze scarf and two fluffy and soft cotton balls in his hands.
The girl didn't know, what exactly was this magician planning to do? Could it be that this guy saw that he was injured and therefore planned to bandage his own wound? The little girl fell into great confusion.
But Enleco's next move obviously dispelled all the girl's doubts. I saw him half-crouching in front of the girl, gently holding up the girl's injured left hand, using one of the wet cotton balls to slowly and gently clean the broken wound. Not only did that gentle movement not touch It hurt the girl's broken wound and calmed the girl's fluctuating heart.
After Enleco used the cotton ball to clean the wound, he immediately pulled off a tampon from another cotton ball. Enleco took the tampon and gently and carefully attached it to the girl. above the wound, and then tied the noodles tightly to the girl's hand with a gauze scarf.
Immediately afterwards, Enleco carefully cleaned up the other two wounds on the girl's body. When he had treated all these wounds properly, he realized that the girl in front of him had too few clothes. This appearance was not suitable for him. To be honest, it was a bit too exciting. Enleco quickly turned around and said: "You, you are wearing too little. Can you put your clothes on? I think you must have some difficulties in doing this job. Maybe I can do something to you." help."
When Enleco said this, he wanted to ask the girl to leave his room, but when the words came to his lips, Enleco couldn't help but feel that speaking like this was a little too ruthless. Therefore, this sentence has not been uttered for a long time.
However, the girl knew quite well what Enleco was thinking. She said, "Are you planning to kick me out of the room?"
The girl's calm and emotionless words once again shocked Enleco's heart. He didn't know what that girl's life was like, why she would choose such a profession at her age, and the young magic apprentice knew nothing about it.
"If you promise not to cause trouble, you can stay here overnight. If you have any requests, you can also ask for them. I will try my best to do it. If you need my help, I will have something to do tomorrow. So I can help you by the way, and tomorrow morning, I will ask my companion to treat your injuries, her treatment methods are much better than mine," Enleco said.
The girl listened quietly to everything Enleco said. She didn't feel anything about the other words, but she secretly felt an inexplicable feeling about the companion, the "she" that Enleco said. The feeling of jealousy is an unspeakable feeling, a touch of jealousy, a hint of sadness and a feeling of inferiority regarding one's own life experience.
After saying this, Enleco raised his hand to extinguish the flickering sex in the oil lamp, and got back into his bed, leaving the girl alone in the darkness, lying on her bed Enleco could no longer sleep. He listened to the slight and rapid breathing coming from the darkness, the heavy snort that seemed to be crying silently. He was really not sleepy at all.
Enleco stretched out his arm from the quilt, took off a cloth wrapped around his arm with a magical magic circle on it, and placed it on the low cabinet next to the bed. The cloth was the one that he could use magic. The real reason is also the crystallization of all his magical knowledge. Through that magic circle, I can manipulate the magic power already stored in it and use some small magic. And all of this is completely inspired by the special magic that he is best at, the dark magic that Most first taught him, which is used to absorb other people's magic attacks. That kind of magic can transform the magic attacks suffered into dark magic and store it in one's body.
Inspired by this magic, Enleco thought that since dark magic can be stored in advance, other magic should also be stored, such as lighting magic, which is a process of storing magic and then slowly releasing it. However, this kind of storage The magic that comes up can only provide some, quite limited applications. Magicians who can freely use magic at any time will never be interested in this. However, this is something that ordinary people like the original Enleco who have no ability to use magic can only hope to achieve.
However, now Enleco has gradually figured out some tips on using magic, and this should be entirely attributed to Horkels III who uses magic as a skill rather than a powerful and mysterious force. inspiration. His Majesty the Emperor's unique insights into the use of magic opened the door to the magic palace for Enleco. Since then, Enleco began to conduct magic research in this area.
He began to study how to allow ordinary people to borrow the power of magic, instead of allowing ordinary people to produce magic as he originally hoped. In these studies, Enleco did achieve some results. In addition to the special magic painted on the carriage, it was the cloth towel placed next to him.
Just as Enleco focused on the cloth in his hand, suddenly, he felt a soft body getting into his bed. Apparently, the girl also climbed into her big bed and slept side by side with her. Fortunately, the girl did not do any further inappropriate behavior, and Enleco finally let go of her worries. But despite this, Enleco still couldn't sleep at all. He turned around and slept there with his face facing outward. He maintained this stiff posture all night.
And the girl obviously didn't sleep all night. Enleco could clearly hear her uneven and rapid breathing, as well as the slight turning of her body that didn't stop all night. And this extremely embarrassing situation lasted until the moment when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room at dawn.
Enleco jumped up from the bed in a hurry and quickly put on his clothes. After wrapping the cloth towel next to him tightly around his arm, he put on a coat outside.
After getting up, Enleco rushed into the bathroom quickly. He closed the bathroom door, thinking about it, and opened the copper pipe connected to the bathtub in a hurry, and put warm water into the bathtub. During this long period of time before his companions got up, Enleco did not intend to return to the bed outside to face the girl. He planned to spend this long time lying in the tub.
In the room outside, the girl was staring blankly at the ceiling of the room. She really didn't know how to face the little nobleman. She didn't know why, but she didn't want to see that man again for the first time in her life. She felt the warmth of a stranger, but she was extremely reluctant deep down in her heart to ask her to leave here.
Although the girl kept saying to herself: "I just want to use this simple little nobleman, his self-righteous good heart, and his money and status to get out of the current predicament and seek a better life." But. She knew very well in her heart that all these were just trivial reasons for comforting herself. She absolutely did not have the courage to leave this room, and she also did not have the courage to seek the kind of happiness she hoped for. For me, who is like a ruined flower, that innocent and kind-hearted little nobleman is too unattainable. What's more, it can be heard from his mouth that he is traveling with a girl, and If I understood it correctly, that girl should be a clergyman, a magician and a priest. There is no more perfect match than this. These two professions are simply the most orthodox pairing in the world. How could I be with that girl? How about a girl with a noble career
The girl fell into deep helplessness.
Time passed little by little, when the warm water no longer had any temperature at all, and when Enleco's wet hair began to dry, morning finally came. Enleco got up from the bathtub. After wiping away the water, he put on his coat again. Of course, he did not forget to wrap the towel back around his wrist. Enleco, who was ready, opened the bathroom. door.
When he opened the door, he saw that the girl had gotten up and was dressed.
Because it was too late last night, Enleco did not take a closer look at the girl. Now, Enleco had time to take a good look at this girl.
The girl is quite good-looking. Although she cannot be called heavenly, she is still pretty, especially her big black eyes, which always reveal a smart but slightly melancholy look. And this added a touch of charm to the girl. The clothes the girl was wearing could only be described as plain and unpretentious, except that they were washed very clean.
When the girl saw Enleco coming out of the bathroom, she quickly stood up and said, "Can I use your towel?" She pointed to the bathroom.
"Of course, of course, no problem," Enleco replied repeatedly.
The girl swept into the bathroom like a breeze. Enleco sat tightly in a piece of brocade placed on one side of the room. Enleco, who had his whole body buried in the soft brocade, stretched gently. Body, he was only now starting to think about how to help this girl. After all, poor people who have suffered misfortunes like this girl are too common in this country where the gap between rich and poor is extremely serious. I have seen enough examples along the way.
Originally, Enleco always maintained a bystander stance on this, trying his best not to get involved in such things. This is not because Enleco is ruthless. Enleco is indeed powerless. He knows that even if he can save a very small number of people, the vast majority of the poor people in Kaochi will not be affected by his actions. He has benefited from this effort, and it is very likely that there will be more people in dire straits and suffering who need him to rescue. At that time, he will have to face another huge problem - how to rescue them. Which people? At that time, I will have to bear to reject those helpless people who place all their hopes on me.
Whenever he thought of this, Enleco couldn't help but cautiously retracted the helping hand he had extended forward. After all, for him, for him, a foreigner, and for him, a troubled person, one thing more is worse than one thing less. After all, Enleco is not that noble, and he only cares about the sufferings of the people in his heart. What's more, those are the people of the Kingdom of Kaoqi, not the people of his motherland, the Kingdom of Sophien.
Therefore, whenever Enleco intends to help the Kaoqi people who are in deep trouble, he will inevitably think about it and think about it again and again. Therefore, he and Bertina are completely different in their attitude towards this kind of thing.
Maybe it’s because Bertina grew up in a clergy family, maybe it’s because Bertina is a girl and Enleco is a boy, maybe it’s because Bertina has far more emotions than Enleco, and she often thinks about problems with a strong The emotion may be because Bertina doesn't need to consider so many issues. Therefore, whenever something like this happens, Bertina is always the first to stand up and play the role of savior.
However, just because Bertina is a girl, and this mission was assigned to Enleco by His Majesty the Emperor, Enleco had to solve it in the end. At this time, Bertina had to do it with both hands. stall, leaving all the responsibilities to Enleco alone. She just stood aside and did some trivial tasks to appease the victims. And Enleco could not refuse because of his responsibilities. Because of this, since Bertina caused a lot of trouble for herself, Enleco no longer dared to go to the places where the poorest people who were the poorest and most in need of help gathered. The place has gone, even if he went to such a place, he would never dare to take Bertina with him. You must know that Bertina's compassion is too rich.
And Bertina is obviously very clear about Enleco's thoughts. She even secretly made up her mind several times not to cause trouble to Enleco because of her sympathy. Working hard to clean up the mess, Bertina also felt quite sorry. However, when those human tragedies happened in front of her eyes, the future saint could not restrain her compassion, and had to step forward again and again to help those in desperate need.
Therefore, along the way, the reputation of the kind pastor lady and the noble imperial minister spread like wildfire. However, all this is not what Enleco needs. Enleco just hopes to return to the ordinary and peaceful life before. Similarly, this is not what Bertina needs. She hopes to never see the poverty and suffering in this world again.
Enleco buried his whole body in the soft brocade cushion. While listening to the sound of rushing water from the bathroom, he thought hard about how to help the girl inside and how to explain this matter to Bertina. Of course, what Enleco thought about most was how to prevent the extremely sympathetic young lady from getting involved in this matter. Enleco knows very well that this place may be the poorest in the entire Kaoqi Kingdom and the place where civilians live the most miserable lives. There may be countless poor people living at the bottom of society. And these people, Enleco cannot save at all.
Just when Enleco was in a dilemma about this, the bathroom door opened and the girl walked out. Because she had just taken a bath, the girl's originally extremely pale skin became slightly rosy, and her wet hair was tightly attached, making the girl look even more dewy.
Enleco looked at the girl. When he saw that the wounds he had bandaged for the girl yesterday were all wet because of taking a bath, Enleco quickly said: "Let's go find my companion quickly." Well, if the wound becomes infected, it will leave scars."
Having said this, Enleco stood up, walked out of the room, came to Bertina's door opposite, and knocked hard on the door. He knew that Bertina usually didn't get up very early in the morning, and, as a Companion, Enleco knows very well how difficult it is to wake up the little girl who loves to stay in bed.
Sure enough, Enleco knocked on the door for a long time, and then Bertina opened the door. Bertina was obviously not very energetic when she got up in the morning, but now Bertina is much more mature and stable than when Enleco and the others first met. She will never get angry because of such a trivial matter as being woken up by her companions. . Since most of the members of the mission returned to China, this magic trial student who was still stuck in the dreamy girlhood suddenly seemed to have gone through a long period of experience in her life, and suddenly became a person who knows how to tolerate others and how to care about others. Other people's mature women.
When Enleco saw Bertina finally come out of the room, he quickly said apologetically: "Good morning, Bertina, I'm sorry for waking you up, but I have to ask you for help with something."
Having said this, Enleco pointed to the little girl standing in his room and continued: "Last night, a girl accidentally fell and injured her hands and knees, so I helped her I bandaged it casually, but if I want the wound to heal as quickly as possible, I must ask for your help."
Bertina glanced at the girl standing in Enleco's room. Although the girl posed as if she had a deep relationship with Enleco, at the same time, there was always a look in her expression that made Bertina Na couldn't quite understand it, it seemed like there was a bit of hostility. Bertina really didn't understand what was going on. However, Bertina did not doubt the reliability of Enleco's words. Now Bertina already understands that while respecting others, she must respect the privacy of others. When you see others clearly, you must also see the essence of others. As a companion from birth to death until today, Bertina is familiar with Enleco's character and character, and she will never think that her companion will do anything extraordinary.
Bertina said: "Call the girl to come into my room. I can check her to see if there are any other injuries. My room is always more convenient than your room."
Of course Enleco knew what Bertina meant. He quickly returned to his room and conveyed Bertina's meaning to the girl.
To be honest, that girl still has an inexplicable hostility towards Bertina until now. If she hadn't seen Enleco thinking about herself so much, she would never have been willing to go to Bertina's room.
However, although the girl was extremely jealous in her heart, it was undeniable that she deeply admired Bertina's generous attitude, and naturally she had to compare herself with Bertina.
This kind of private comparison made the girl's inferiority complex that was already lingering in her heart even stronger.
Before the girl saw Bertina, she originally guessed that maybe the young lady was mediocre in appearance and could not be compared with herself, so the young master would take a fancy to her. When she thought so, she couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in her heart. I hope that I may not be able to capture the young master's whole body and mind, but I can always make a deep impression on him. I may not be able to officially live with the young master, but by secretly communicating with him, he I'm willing to do it anyway, I just hope to be a mistress without a title, that's all.
However, when Bertina came out of the room, the girl's hope was completely shattered. In fact, Bertina was quite beautiful, but when she was in the mission, she always stayed with the stunningly beautiful Princess, so she could not show off Bertina's charm. Moreover, compared with Her Royal Highness the Princess, the original Bertina lacked an unforgettable elegance. She looked more like an ordinary little girl. Compared with Enleko, who was dressed as a woman, she lacked that elegance. A feeling of tranquility and purity. Therefore, even Bertina herself has no confidence in her beauty.
And since the mission left the Kaoqi Kingdom, Bertina seemed to have changed into a different person, suddenly showing a mature and peaceful unique temperament. This really made the eyes of Sophie's benefactors who stayed in the Kaoqi Kingdom brighten. They finally officially discovered Bertina's charm. However, these people definitely do not include Kate and Enleko. The two of them were so familiar with Bertina that they didn't even notice the changes that had happened to their female companion.
However, in the eyes of that girl, all this was definitely not the same thing. Bertina's beauty weighed on the girl's heart like a boulder. Therefore, the girl had to pretend that her relationship with Enleco was unusual. This was to stimulate the beauty who made her very unhappy. At the same time, she also hoped to use this to make the beauty misunderstand the young master. If two people make a big fuss over this, that would be more to their own liking.
But I didn't expect that when the beautiful woman saw her like this, the beautiful woman had no reaction at all. She even made such a suggestion, which really surprised the girl. At the same time, this also made the girl feel deep despair. Having read countless people, she could clearly see how much falsehood there was in the other person's attitude. But from Bertina's expression, she could only see sincerity, without any false sincerity, which was exactly the same as Enleco's attitude towards her.
The girl really had no interest in accepting this sincerity. She wanted to escape from this place that made her extremely sad as soon as possible. This rekindled her long-extinguished hope, but she was hit by a basin of cold water. The place to be doused. However, Enleco's sincerity made the girl unable to refuse all this.
The girl slowly walked into Bertina's room. When she walked past Bertina, her eyes couldn't help showing a hostile look again.
Seeing the girl's hostile eyes, Enleco couldn't help but worry whether the girl would cause any harm to Bertina. After all, Bertina didn't know the identity of the girl, and why did the girl hate Bertina so much? Na, the reason is not something I can understand.
Thinking of this, Enleco felt uneasy. He stood anxiously outside Bertina's door.
Through the thick door, Enleco could vaguely hear the voices inside. At first, the voices were relatively loud, but later, the two people inside didn't know it was because they didn't want others to hear them. They were talking about something, or because what they said was really not suitable to be announced loudly, so the two people simply started whispering in the room.
Originally, Enleco was quite worried about this, but the two chuckles that came from the room from time to time made Enleco dispel the doubts that had accumulated in his heart.
I don't know how long after waiting, Enleco gradually felt a little confused. Does it take so long to heal the injury? Moreover, the occasional cry or two from Bertina's room also puzzled Enleco. He didn't know who was crying or what he was crying for. All he knew was that a long time had passed.
Enleco gradually became anxious about this. Originally, he had been waiting patiently outside the door, but now he couldn't stand it anymore and started to wander outside the door. The coachman Kaz and his father in the next room had already finished breakfast and returned to the bedroom to rest for a long time. Originally, the coachman Kaz wanted to stand with him outside Bertina's door, but unexpectedly, he asked the old man to pull him into the bedroom. The old man obviously guessed something, but he didn't Said to himself, and judging from his attitude towards the coachman Kaz, Enleco guessed that even if he took the initiative to ask, his father would not tell him.
After a long wait, Bertina's door finally opened. To Enleco's expectation, the two girls walked out of the room talking and laughing. There was no hint of any hostility hidden in their intimate appearance. Enleco really couldn't figure out what was going on.
I saw that the girl was holding Bertina's arm tightly from beginning to end, and Bertina comforted her like an amiable big sister.
"Don't worry, I will definitely let him help you. With us here, everything will be solved." Bertina whispered to the girl.
When Enleco heard this, he knew that Bertina had solicited another difficult matter for him. However, he had originally promised the girl to help her get out of trouble. Bertina's words were in line with her own. Will.
"Thank you, Sister Bertina." The girl whispered.
"Sister? I've already called you sister." Enleco wondered when these two people had become so close. They were so tense just now. Hey! Girls are really puzzling creatures.
While Enleco was thinking wildly, Bertina came over with the girl and said to Enleco: "After we have breakfast, Xiaoyun will lead the way to see the situation there. I have promised to help Xiaoyun." Yun's busy."
Having said this, Bertina directly pulled the girl named Xiaoyun towards the restaurant downstairs.
Enleco had no choice but to follow them obediently and go downstairs together.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them found a table by the window and sat down. Enleco casually ordered a few dishes. He was not very interested in the bad food here, as long as it could fill his stomach, and Bell Tina's views on these foods are roughly the same as Enleco's, but the girl is obviously very satisfied with this meal, which is already an extremely rich meal for her.
Watching the girl gobble it up, Enleco found it quite interesting. However, he immediately thought that he had played this role in the past at Somilet's house. Presumably, Somilet and Duke Hegeelo thought of him at that time, and how he thinks of the girl now. Pretty much the same.
Thinking of this, Enleco felt lack of interest.
While the three of them were enjoying breakfast there, the host was always watching closely. He knew that girl very well. This little prostitute often came to his hotel looking for customers. The supervisor never stopped this kind of behavior, because he knew that the girl's hands and feet were quite clean. She was only selling her own sex, and no passenger had ever stolen money without paying attention. Besides, those businessmen and travelers who travel north and south are away from home for many years, so they are likely to have needs in this area, and that girl can just provide this service. This is one of the reasons why the hotel is popular among customers.
However, the principal never thought that someone would respect and treat the little prostitute as an equal. And if such a person was the mysterious guest, it would be fine. However, the little prostitute regarded the mysterious guest's beautiful female companion as a friend, which could not help but surprise the principal.
Enleco and the others finished their breakfast quickly. After paying the bill, Enleco and the two little girls walked out of the hotel.
The manager recruited a waiter whom he trusted more, and after giving him a few instructions, he left the hotel business. He followed the three minors walking slowly in front of him from a distance.
The man who had been entrusted with the important task was quite surprised when he saw such a scene. This guy has never seen the boss be so interested in things other than hotel management. This is not like the boss' usual behavior.
Enleco and the three of them walked through the long alley in front of the hotel, turned two corners, and walked onto a road paved with gravel. This road is obviously the size it is today because it has been crushed by countless vehicles for many years. Therefore, as you go to both sides of the road, the gravel particles there are larger and rougher in shape, and those gravels near the center of the road are, It has already been crushed like gravel.
Maybe it’s because it’s still early, maybe it’s because the first car of ore has not been mined yet. Anyway, there are only three of them on the wide avenue, Enleco, and the owner of the hotel far behind them, walking slowly on the road. Not a single vehicle.
As the three of them walked on this road, which became increasingly sparsely populated, the girl began to narrate her tragic experience. Like many tragic stories, her terrible life also ended with a terrible accident. Beginning.
A month ago, Xiaoyun's father was still responsible for screening ore in the mine. However, since the rainy season entered, the humidity in the soil suddenly increased a lot, and the temperature increased, so it was easy to cause corrosion of the support frame in the mine. Aging, causing mine collapse. It was in a mine collapse accident that Xiaoyun's father lost a pair of arms.
In mines, there is a habit that once an accident occurs, miners who are seriously injured or disabled will usually choose to die because the rest of their lives will be extremely difficult for them. The families of these miners have to see if other people are willing to take them in. After all, in a place where they struggle for three meals a day, even having one more mouth to eat is not a small burden. And those family members who no one wants to take in will be driven into slums and endure the hellish life there.
There are people who are willing to take Xiaoyun and her mother in, but of course most of them are unkind. But Xiaoyun's mother was determined not to leave her husband, who was already disabled and was dying due to lack of treatment for his serious injuries. For a month, her mother had been caring for her dying father. In order to maintain her life, this strong woman had to sell her body. And Xiaoyun, who saw her mother living in such pain, finally embarked on this road without her mother paying attention. Although she could share some of the life pressure for her mother, it destroyed all her hopes. path of.
This was the first time that Enleco heard Xiaoyun talk about her tragic experience. He felt really uncomfortable, but he knew that tragedies like this were likely to happen every day in the Kaoqi Kingdom. It’s not that those around you lack empathy, it’s not that everyone is just looking out for themselves, it’s no one’s fault.
Here, everyone's life is quite difficult. They have nothing extra to use to help others. If they want to help others, then they must save their own share, maybe just this. It is already a huge sacrifice for the people living in this place, and because everyone knows very well that once they suffer such a fate, they cannot hope for help from others except for self-liberation. Therefore, when When they see others in need of help, everyone becomes quite indifferent. In this way, when they need help from others, no one will stand up to help them. This is the rule of life here - a simple and indifferent rule of life.
※※※
Completely different from Enleco, Bertina has endless sympathy, but only lacks rational thinking, although this is not the first time she has heard Xiaoyun talk about the tragic experience. However, the emotional girl still cried while listening. Relatively speaking, Xiaoyun, who has personally experienced such a difficult life, is much calmer than Bertina.
When Xiaoyun finished telling her tragic experience again, the mine was already in front of her.
Stepping onto the mining area that was full of debris and stones and with uneven roads, Enleco immediately felt a hot breath coming towards him. On the edge of the mining area near the road, ten tall blast furnaces burning with blazing fire stood there. From the tall chimney on the top of the furnace, black smoke was constantly spraying out.
Everything around, including mountains, land, shrubs, weeds, houses, and even the blast furnaces themselves, were covered with a layer of pitch-black color as if dyed with ink because of the smoke.
There is a tall mountain of coal stacked next to the blast furnace, and the moist air turns a small part of the dark fuel into a dark river flowing everywhere. In some low-lying places, these rivers merge into pools of black water.
Enleco and Bertina tiptoed very carefully as they walked among the dark gravel piles. They tried to avoid letting the black stain their clothes. Xiaoyun was obviously used to the environment here. She walked straight forward.
Finally, Enleco and Bertina gave up their futile efforts, and their trouser legs were already stained with dots of ink.
The appearance of Enleco and Bertina, two people who are incompatible with the environment of this place, makes the people around them feel quite strange. Although strangers often come to this mine, those people either come here Anyone looking for a job here is either a foreman who comes here to supervise the work of the miners. However, those two children obviously did not belong to these two types of people.
Although the miners have never seen any big market, they also know how to judge a person's status through his behavior and clothing. Of course, their knowledge is far from being comparable to that of the hotel owner, but the status of the person coming here can always be distinguished. Especially the appearance of a beautiful girl like Bertina in this place cannot help but make the miners feel strange. You must know that Xiaoyun and her mother are already famous beauties in this place, but they are compared with Bertina. , and much inferior. Moreover, the ridiculous actions shown by Bertina and Enleco just now also show that these two people will definitely not live here, or even be said to be people living in this class. What's more, there are a few people among the miners who have seen a little bit of the market. They told the miners around them that Bertina and Enleco were obviously a pair of nobles, because they saw Bertina and Enleco. All of them can walk on their toes quite smoothly. People who are used to this strenuous walking style can only be aristocratic gentlemen who think this way of walking is more elegant. I heard that this walking style of tiptoeing and walking in a straight line is called "aristocratic elegance" step".
However, those miners really didn't understand what the two little nobles were doing here. Therefore, more and more miners stopped what they were doing and moved closer in this direction. Among the people who came closer, there were also two supervisors responsible for supervising the work of the mine. However, the two supervisors did not express any dissatisfaction with the miners putting down their work. They just told them that those jobs were very important and they would never allow the miners who left their posts to go back to work quickly. They just let the others go as they were. Don't interfere. Moreover, one of the supervisors can be regarded as the most common and senior guy in the market here. He kept explaining to the people around him what the aristocratic steps are, what the aristocratic temperament is, and how the aristocrats live.
Enleco and the others, followed by the large group of miners, arrived at Xiaoyun's home.
This is obviously where the miners live. There are more than a dozen rows of identical low-rise houses built against the hillside. In each row of low-rise houses, there is a well drilled farthest from the mining area. That is the only source of water for the miners. In order to keep this precious water source clean, the wells are covered with thick covers.
Every house here, like the rest of the mining area, is covered with a thick layer of black ash. Xiaoyun led Enleco and the others into a row of low houses, and walked to the door of a low house near the middle. Xiaoyun stood still, and she gently pushed the door open. Enleco and Berti Na followed Xiaoyun into the room.
As soon as I walked into the room, a smell hit my nose. Lying on the ground at the far end of the room was a huddled, pale man, his hands wrapped in thick coarse cloth. The coarse cloth was stained with some blood. It seems that this person is Xiaoyun's father.
Bertina and Xiaoyun slowly approached the patient lying on the ground together. Xiaoyun carefully unwrapped the coarse cloth, while Bertina quickly moved up to observe the patient's condition.
Seeing such a scene, Enleco had to admire the two girls for having such a firm will in this regard. If it were him, he would probably not be willing to get close to the patient who exuded a stench. Even if he was far away from the patient, the stronger odor that came out after untying the bandage made Enleco take two steps back again. He really didn't understand how Bertina had the courage to check that kind of smell. Horrible wounds.
Enleco didn't even have the courage to stay in this room. He quickly opened the door and walked out. Outside the door, he saw a circle of miners surrounded by puzzled faces. Just when Enleco wanted to say hello to the miners, a woman who was not too old but looked quite haggard squeezed out from the group of miners.
I saw that the woman was wearing a colorful dress, and her hair was fluffy and hanging behind her back. Enleco took one look at him and knew that she must be Xiaoyun's mother, because they looked very similar.
Xiaoyun's mother had obviously just heard someone say that her daughter had come to her home with two strangers who were obviously nobles, so she hurried home to have a look. When she walked to the door of her house, she saw a lot of people surrounding her. It seemed that the person who delivered the letter to her was right. Someone had indeed come to her house. When the mother struggled to get through the crowd to the door of her house, she immediately saw the rumored aristocratic young master.
Unlike those miners, Xiaoyun's mother had met all kinds of people after all. Among her guests, there were even one or two people who had some connections with the nobles. Therefore, she could tell at a glance that there were people standing in front of her. This young master must be a noble, and he is one of the nobles with a very distinguished background and extremely high status.
Xiaoyun's mother once accompanied a guest to see the Sheriff of Stryer County. Compared with the Sheriff, the underage aristocratic young man standing in front of her was obviously much more elegant and luxurious. Xiaoyun's mother secretly guessed Enleco's identity.
However, compared with Enleco's identity, Xiaoyun's mother was more concerned about the young master's purpose. If the person who sent him the letter hadn't told him that the young master was accompanied by a stunning beauty, the mother might also have thought that the aristocratic young master had fallen in love with her daughter. If that was the case If so, then they are really lucky, at least they won’t have to worry about their lives in the future. However, the person who sent the letter swore that the young master's female companion was definitely the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. Therefore, Xiaoyun's mother did not dare to pay too much in return for her sweet dream. hope. Now, she just wanted to know the purpose of these two little nobles.
Therefore, she hurriedly walked towards Enleco. Just when she was about to ask, the door opened. A beautiful aristocratic girl and her daughter walked out of the room. The girl was so light that she walked up to the aristocratic young master and said: "Enleco, I am sure to cure the patient's injury. But for those two broken arms, I have no way to restore them to their original state."
When Xiaoyun's mother heard the news, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. For her husband's injury, she even consulted a well-known doctor, but after seeing her husband's condition, the doctor told her that the medicine for her husband's injury was There was no hope for a cure, so I could only seek the help of divine magic. However, after trying everything possible to find a priest of the Earth Goddess who traveled around the world with a compassionate heart, the priest actually told me that such a serious injury to my husband would not be possible unless he found a higher priest. It requires personnel to cast the spell, otherwise, it will be useless. However, in this place, even the Bishop of Stryer County is just a mid-level clergy, and noble clergy like them will never come to treat their husbands in person. Therefore, since then, Xiaoyun The mother has lost all hope. She was just doing her best to delay her husband's death.
It is already a miracle that her husband can survive until now. The priest of the Earth Goddess also said that her husband's vitality is extremely tenacious and his desire to survive is extremely strong. However, if one does not receive treatment from superior divine magic, death will only happen sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, a miracle suddenly appeared. The noble lady actually said that she had the ability to cure her husband. No matter how high the possibility was, this was the most exciting news to me so far.
