Feeling deeply guilty, Enleco pulled the girl into his room.
The girl was baffled by this. She really didn't understand what this underage traveler was planning to do. He had just pushed her out so mercilessly, and now he was pulling her back into the room impatiently. What did 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 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 young nobleman turned a blind eye to this.
I have been busy here and there, looking here and there.
The little girl was puzzled by this, but fortunately she soon knew what the boy was doing in the dark room. As the boy raised his hand slightly, a soft but bright firelight came from him.
The palm of his hand floated up. The firelight flickered and fell on 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 was secretly glad that she had found a good prey this time. A magician is better than those ordinary ones.
The status of the nobility is much higher. These people may not be very rich, but they often carry treasures that are extremely valuable in the eyes of others. 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 the magician was planning to do. Did this guy see that he was injured and was planning to bandage the wound for himself? The little girl fell into great confusion.
But Enleco's next move obviously dispelled all the girl's doubts. He squatted in front of the girl, gently held up the girl's injured left hand, and used one of the wet cotton balls to slowly and gently
He had to clean the broken wound, and his gentle movements not only did not hurt the girl's broken wound, but also calmed the girl's fluctuating mind.
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 be of help to you."
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, he could not say this sentence 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 the girl's life was like and why she would choose such a career at her age.
The magic apprentice knows 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 injury, 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. Only about the companion, the "she" that Enleco said, she secretly had an inexplicable feeling.
The feeling of jealousy is an emotion that cannot be expressed in words, 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 the bed.
Enleco couldn't sleep anymore. He listened to the slight and rapid breathing coming from the darkness, the heavy snort that seemed to be crying silently. He really didn't feel 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 my magic knowledge. Through that magic circle, I can manipulate the magic power that has been stored in it and use some small magic. And all of this comes entirely from my own most powerful magic circle.
The enlightenment of the special magic that he is good at, the dark magic that Most first taught him, which is used to absorb other people's magic attacks. That kind of magic can convert the magic attacks suffered into dark magic and store it in his 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 way of storage
The magic created can only provide some, rather limited uses. Those magicians who can freely use magic at any time will definitely not be interested in this. However, this is like the original Enleco who has no ability to use it.
Magical things that are beyond the reach of ordinary people...
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.
Inspired by His Majesty the Emperor's unique insights into the use of magic, Enleco opened the door to the palace of magic. From then on, 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 originally hoped. And in these studies, Enleco did achieve some results, except for the painting
In addition to the special magic on the carriage, there is the cloth towel placed next to it.
Just as Enleco focused on the cloth in his hand, he suddenly felt a soft body getting into his bed. Apparently, the girl also climbed onto his big bed.
But fortunately, the girl did not do any further inappropriate behavior. Enleco finally let go of some worries about this, but despite this, Enleco still couldn't sleep at all.
He turned his body and slept there with his face facing outward. He maintained such a stiff posture throughout the 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 long.
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 plan to return to the bed outside to face the girl. He planned to spend this long period of time lying in the bathtub.
.
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 deep down she was extremely unwilling 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 Liu himself, that innocent and kind-hearted little nobleman was too unattainable. What's more, it could be heard from his mouth that he was traveling with a girl, and if he didn't understand
If wrong, 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 can I be with that girl with a noble profession?
How about comparing it?
The girl fell into deep helplessness.
Time passed little by little, when the warm water no longer had any temperature, and when Enleco's wet hair began to dry, morning finally came. Enleco got up from the bathtub
Come, he wiped off the water and put on his coat again. Of course, he did not forget to wrap the towel back around his wrist. Enleco opened the bathroom door when everything was ready.
When he opened the door, he saw that the girl had gotten up from the bed and was already 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 the girl.
That girl is pretty good-looking. Although she can't be called a heavenly beauty, she is still pretty. Especially her big black eyes, which always reveal a smart but slightly melancholy look. And this is even more so.
The girl added a touch of charm. 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.
He was only now starting to think about how to help this girl. After all, poor people who suffered misfortunes like this girl were too common in this country where the gap between rich and poor was extremely serious. He had seen enough examples along the way.
.
Originally, Enleco always maintained a bystander stance on this, trying not to get involved in such things. This was not because Enleco was ruthless. Enleco was indeed powerless about it. He knew that even if
He can save a very small part of them, but the vast majority of the poor people in Kaochi will not benefit from his efforts, and it is very likely that there will be more people in dire straits who need him to rescue.
When that time comes, I have to face another huge problem - which of them should be rescued? At that time, I have to bear to reject those helpless people and give up all hope.
People who rely on themselves.
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, It is said that one thing is worse than one thing less. After all, Enleco is not that noble. He only cares about the suffering of the people in his heart. What's more, those people are the people of the Kingdom of Kaoqi, not the people of his motherland, the Kingdom of Sophie. .
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 have completely different attitudes 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 sense of
The emotional color may be because Bertina does not need to consider so many issues. Therefore, whenever encountering such a thing, Bertina is always the first to stand up and play the role of savior.
However, precisely because Bertina is a girl, and this mission was entrusted to Enleco by His Majesty the Emperor, Enleco ultimately had to solve it himself. At this time, Bertina had both hands.
stall, leaving all the responsibilities to Enleco alone. She just stood aside and did some trivial work to appease the victims. And Enleco could not shirk because of his responsibilities. Because of this, since Bertina
After causing a lot of trouble for himself, Enleco no longer dared to go to the places where the poorest and most needy people gathered. Even if he went to such places, he would never dare to take Bell with him.
Tina. 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. For every time, it was Enleco who ended up
Trying 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 sympathy, and had to step forward again and again to help those in extreme danger.
People who need help.
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 kind life before.
Go to a peaceful life. This is not what Bertina needs either. 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 thinks about most is 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 and most common place in the entire Kaoqi Kingdom.
A place where life is the most miserable, 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 of the bath she had just taken, the girl's originally extremely pale skin became slightly rosy, and her end was wet.
Her hair was tightly held together, 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."
, 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 person,
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 better than when Enleco and they first met.
She has become much more mature and stable, and she will no longer get angry over trivial things like being woken up by her companions. Since most of the members of the envoy returned to the country, this magic trial student who was still in the dreamy girlhood suddenly seemed to have crossed over.
After a long period of experience in life, she suddenly became a mature woman who knows how to tolerate and care for others.
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
It seemed to be a bit hostile. Bertina really didn’t understand what was going on. However, Bertina did not doubt the reliability of what Enleco said. Now Bertina has
Understand that while respecting others, you must respect other people's privacy, and while seeing others clearly, you must see the essence of others. As a companion from birth to death to this day, Bertina is familiar with Enleco's character and character. She is absolutely
I don't think that my companion will do anything extraordinary.
Bertina said: "Call that 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, the 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 already deep sense of inferiority 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 her, 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 maybe I can't 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 he can always communicate with him secretly.
Yes, I just hope to be a mistress without a title, nothing more.
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 was always with the stunningly beautiful princess.
Her Highness stayed together, so Bertina's charm was not revealed. Moreover, compared with Her Highness the Princess, the original Bertina lacked an unforgettable elegance. She looked more like an ordinary person.
She is a little girl, and compared with Enleko who is dressed as a woman, she lacks the 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 the charm of Bertina. However, these people definitely did not include Kate and Enleco. They were so familiar with Bertina that they did not even notice what happened to them.
The changes in a female companion.
However, in the eyes of the girl, all this was definitely not the same thing. Bertina's beauty was like a huge stone weighing on the girl's heart. Therefore, the girl had to put on a look similar to Enleco's.
The relationship is different from the ordinary. This is to stimulate the beautiful woman who makes her very unhappy. At the same time, she also hopes to use this to make the beautiful woman misunderstand the young master. If the two of them have a big fight because of this, it will be even worse.
own thoughts.
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, it also made the girl feel deeply
Desperate and having read countless people, she can clearly see how many false elements are contained in the other party's attitude. But from Bertina's expression, she can only see sincerity, without any false sincerity.
The same sincerity 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 the fire of her hope that had been extinguished long ago, but she was hit by a basin of cold water.
A place that was destroyed. However, Enleco’s sincerity made the girl unable to refuse it all.
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 time to time in the room made Enleco dispel the doubts that had accumulated in his heart.
I don’t know how long I waited, but Enleko gradually felt a little confused. Does it take such a long time to heal the injury? Moreover, one or two cries came from Bertina’s room from time to time, which also made Enleco
Ke was extremely confused. He didn't know who was crying or what he was crying for. He only knew that a long time had passed.
Enleco gradually became anxious about this. Originally, he had to wait 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 eaten.
After breakfast, he returned to the bedroom and rested for a long time. Originally, the coachman Kaz wanted to stand with him outside Bertina's door, but unexpectedly, he let the old man pull him into the bedroom.
Go, Dad obviously guessed something, but he didn't tell himself, and judging from his attitude towards the coachman Kaz, Enleco guessed that even if he took the initiative to ask, Dad would not tell him
of.
After a long wait, Bertina's door finally opened. To Enleco's surprise, the two girls walked out of the room talking and laughing. Their closeness was really...
There was no hostility hidden in it. 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 promised the girl to help her get out of trouble. Bertina's words were in line with her.
Willingness.
"Thank you, Sister Bertina." The girl whispered.
"Sister? I've already called you sister." Enleco thought to himself, when did these two people 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."
Very 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.
Seeing the girl gobbling down the food, Enleco found it quite interesting. But he immediately thought that he had played the same role in the past at Somilet's house. Presumably at that time, Somilet and Heguet
Duke Luo's view of himself is similar to his current view of that girl.
Thinking of this, Enleco felt lack of interest.
When the three people were enjoying breakfast there, the host was watching closely. He knew the girl very well. This little prostitute often came to his hotel to look for guests. For this kind of behavior, the host was very concerned.
He never stopped him, because he knew that the girl's hands and feet were quite clean. She was only selling her body and had never stolen money from passengers without paying attention. Besides, those businessmen and travelers who traveled from north to south for many years
You are away from home, so you are likely to have such needs, and that girl can provide you with such services. This is one of the reasons why the hotel is popular with customers.
However, the principal never thought that someone would respect the little prostitute so much and treat the little prostitute as an equal. And it would be fine if such a person was the mysterious guest, but it was the beauty of the mysterious guest who treated the little prostitute like a friend.
Female companion, this cannot help but surprise the host.
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 and followed the three minors walking slowly in front of him from a distance.
The clerk who had been entrusted with the important task was quite surprised when he saw such a scene. The clerk had never seen the principal be so interested in things other than hotel management. This was not like the principal's 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 was obviously damaged by countless vehicles over the years.
The current scale was formed by crushing, so as you go to both sides of the road, the gravel particles there are larger and rougher in shape, and the gravel near the center of the road has already been crushed like gravel.
Maybe it's because it's still early, maybe because the first car of ore hasn't 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 in charge of ore screening in the mine. However, after entering the rainy season, the humidity in the soil suddenly increased a lot, coupled with the rising temperature, it was easy to cause corrosion of the support frame in the mine.
Aging caused the mine to 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 for them, the rest of their lives will be extremely difficult. And the families of these miners have to look at other things.
Are people willing to take them in? After all, in this place where people struggle for three meals a day, even having one more mouth is a big burden. And those family members who no one is willing to take in will be driven into slums.
, endure the hellish life there.
There are people who are willing to take in Xiaoyun and her mother, but of course most of them are not well-intentioned. But Xiaoyun's mother is determined not to leave her husband who is already disabled and is dying due to lack of treatment for serious injuries. In the past month
, her mother has been taking care of 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 once, her mother did not pay attention.
Under the circumstances, she embarked on this path that, although it could share some of the life pressure for her mother, destroyed all her own hopes.
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 was not because
The lack of empathy in those around you is not because 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──
Simple and indifferent rules 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, this emotional person
The girl was still crying while listening. Relatively speaking, Xiaoyun, who had personally experienced such a difficult life, was 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 is 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 like ink dyed by the smoke.
There is a tall mountain of coal stacked next to the blast furnace. The moist air turns a small part of the dark fuel into a dark river flowing everywhere. In some low-lying places, these rivers converge into pools of black
pond.
Enleco and Bertina tiptoed very carefully as they walked among the dark gravel piles. They tried their best 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 seeking a job here is either a foreman who comes here to supervise the work of the miners. However, the two children obviously do not belong to these two types of people.
Although the miners have never seen any big markets, 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 who comes here is
, can always be distinguished. Especially when a beautiful girl like Bertina appears in this place, this cannot help but make the miners feel strange. You must know that Xiaoyun and her mother are already famous beauties in this place.
But compared with Bertina, they are much inferior. Moreover, the ridiculous actions Bertina and Enleco just showed also show that these two people will definitely not live here, and it can even be said that
They cannot 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 that both Bertina and Enleco could tip their toes and walk quite smoothly. And the people who are used to this strenuous walking method can only be those nobles who think that walking like this is more elegant. I heard that
This walking style of tiptoeing and walking in a straight line is called the "noble graceful step".
However, those miners really didn't quite 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 two A supervisor 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 said that some of the tasks were very important and the miners who left their posts were absolutely not allowed to go back to work. For other people, they just let it go and did not interfere. Moreover, one of the supervisors can be regarded as the most familiar and senior guy in the market. He also kept explaining to the people around him what a noble step is and what a nobleman is. Temperament, how nobles live.
Enleco and the others, followed by the large group of miners, arrived at Xiaoyun's home.
This is obviously a place where 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, farthest from the mining area, there is a well, which is the daily water for the miners. The only source of water. In order to keep this precious water source clean, all wells are covered with thick lids.
Every house here, like other places in 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, she gently pushed open the door, Enleco and Bertina followed Xiaoyun into the room.
As soon as he walked into the room, a stench hit his nostrils. On the ground at the far end of the room lay a huddled, pale man. His hands were wrapped in thick coarse cloth. There were some blood stains on the coarse cloth. Look. 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 was full of stench. Even if he was far away from that patient The patient, the stronger stench that came out after unbandaging made Enleco take two steps back again. He really didn't understand how Bertina had the courage to check that terrible wound.
Enleco didn't even have the courage to stay in the 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 talk to the miners While saying hello, a woman who was not too old but looked quite haggard emerged from the group of miners.
The woman was wearing a colorful dress, with her hair hanging loosely 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 home At that time, I saw a large number of people surrounding it. It seemed that the person who delivered the letter to me was right. Someone had indeed come to her home. When the mother had difficulty getting through the crowd to the door of her home, , she immediately saw the rumored noble 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, so 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 saw the Sheriff of Stryer County with a guest. 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 Here comes 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 her the letter had not told her that the young master was accompanied by a stunning beauty, this Mothers may also think that the aristocratic young master has fallen in love with their daughter. If this is the case, then they are really lucky, at least they will not have to worry about their lives in the future. However, the messenger Everyone 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 have much hope in repaying her sweet dream. Now, she I just want 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 noble girl and her daughter walked out of the room. The girl walked extremely lightly. He went to the noble young master and said: "Enleco, I am sure that the patient's injury will be cured. But there is no way for me to restore the two broken arms to their original state."
When Xiaoyun's mother heard the news, she couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. For her husband's injury, she even consulted a number of well-known doctors. However, after the doctor saw her husband's condition, she told her that the medicine for her husband's injury was There was no hope of cure, so I could only seek the help of divine magic. However, after trying every possible means to find a priest of the Earth Goddess who traveled around the world with a compassionate heart, the priest actually told me that my husband's serious injury could not be cured unless he found a higher priest. Otherwise, it would be useless. However, in this place, even the Bishop of Stryer County is just a mid-level clergy, and such noble clergy will never come in person. Since then, Xiaoyun's mother has lost all hope. She just tried 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, he does not accept the treatment of superior sacred magic. , death is only a matter of time.
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.
