Chapter Seventy-Three: Ten Years

"Mom, look what I've hit today!" shouted a stout boy in an animal skin coat as soon as he entered the door, and although he was called a teenager, in fact he was only an eight or nine-year-old child, and he had not even left the category of children.

"Claudes, you're so nice!" the plump and tall woman also looked very happy: "I'll give you a venison soup to drink tonight!"

"Hey...... "The boy named Claudes laughed happily. He placed the dead bighorn deer in the middle of the courtyard and began to deal with it with a knife, and after a while, his mother came out to help.

Although they refer to each other as mother and son, in fact, they are not related by any blood at all. The woman, Flanda Torremia, was a half-breed barbarian whose true son had been expelled from the pack after his real son had been bitten off the neck by wolves during a hunt by the barbarians. And the young Claudes is the son of the barbarian king Rego, but because the child has been thin since he was a child, he has also become the object of the barbarians' abandonment.

At that time, Regner saw that the two of them were really pitiful, so he used his own strength to settle them in human society. But later, an unexpected orc shatters their lives. Flanda and Claudes were forced to live in the woods, where they relied on hunting and trading to survive.

"It's been almost a month since the teacher was out, haven't you?" asked Claudes casually as he skinned the bighorn deer.

"Yes, should be back soon. Flanda replied, and the two of them were not in the least worried about the danger of the orc whom Claudes called his teacher wandering the human world. In fact, it was a humanoid dragon at all, and who would worry about the dragon being harmed by humans?

"Oh, the bighorn deer can barely be regarded as a mid-level magical beast, I haven't seen you for a month, and you have grown a lot. While the two of them were busy, the wild and rough voice of the orc rang out in the courtyard.

"Teacher!" Claudes was overjoyed when he saw the orc, and he didn't care about the blood on his hand that he had washed and skinned the bighorn deer, and directly put down the skinning knife in his hand and threw himself at the orc's side.

Although Claudes is already more than 1.7 meters tall, he is still a small point in front of Clayton, who is 2.5 meters tall.

"You're back, Lord Clayton. Flanda was also very happy to see the orc, she looked up, and then asked a little puzzled, "Are you holding ......?"

"Why, you don't know him in just a few years?" Clayton cracked and smiled, then turned the face of the man in his arms to Flanda.

"This is ......" Flanda was stunned for a moment, then cried out in a lost voice, "Lord Regner?!"

......

"I didn't expect this to happen......" After settling Regner, Clayton asked Flanda and they briefly told them what had happened to Regner in recent days. When Franda heard this, tears immediately flowed out, and she stroked Regner's cheek with her trembling right hand and said, "It's really hard for this child, those human beings, they really did it......"

"Kid?" Clayton smiled nonchalantly, "I remember Claudes saying that you almost slept naked in this kid's bed one night." ”

"......" Flanda couldn't help but blush when she heard Clayton's teasing, but at this time she was not in the mood to joke with Clayton, just sighed and said, "What should I do next?"

"His life is his own, what to do next? Of course. Clayton grabbed a piece of roasted venison from the fire, took a bite of it, and continued, "First of all, wait until he wakes up." ”

"Wake up......" Flanda muttered.

Clayton couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Flanda's expression, and he asked tentatively, "I said, you don't like him living here, do you?"

"Where are you talking about this?" Flanda couldn't help but be a little angry when she heard Clayton say this: "Lord Ragnar is the lifesaver of me and Claudes, and now that he is in trouble, Claudes and I will naturally not sit idly by! From now on, Lord Regner will not bother you, and his life will be taken care of by me and Claudes!"

"Why are you so angry?" Clayton said, grabbing his head and muttering, "I see you just asked casually in a daze." ”

"Stunned?" said Flanda, brushing Regner's hair, "I just thought it would be best for Lord Regner to sleep like this forever." After all...... Reality is hell for him......"

"Hell...... Clayton gave Regner a deep look and whispered, "If reality is really hell, you have to face it." No matter how heavenly the dream is, it is still fake after all. ”

In this way, the unconscious Ragner settled deep in the mountains where Flanda and Claudes lived. In fact, according to Clayton's estimate, even if Regner is seriously injured, he should wake up after being in a coma for ten days and half a month at most. But perhaps Frenda was right, and the mental trauma was perhaps more serious to Regner than the physical trauma. I don't know if it's been escaping reality or what, Regner has been in a half-dead coma.

When he was unconscious, Flanda and Claudes took care of him meticulously, feeding him fluid food three times a day, regularly asking Claudes to wash his body, and Flanda had to go out every week to collect medicine for Regner and prepare ointment. That's the ointment formula given by Clayton, because a prolonged coma can lead to a large decrease in bodily functions, and the ointment formula given by Clayton can avoid this kind of thing. Therefore, Claudes and Flanda regularly went into the mountains to collect the medicinal herbs needed for the ointment, rain or shine.

"Isn't it enough to keep him alive?, why do you have to do such a trouble?" Clayton once asked Flanda in confusion.

And Flanda replied at the time: "I don't know when he will wake up, but I know that when he wakes up, he will need enough strength to face all kinds of difficulties in reality." So I have to make sure that when he wakes up, he's still the same strong man, and that's my responsibility. ”

Clayton saw that both Flanda and Claudes were so stubborn, so he didn't bother to persuade him anymore. He came to the Chino continent this time, originally guided by the prophecy of Olgarok. At that time, Olgarok foresaw this fate for Regner in the future, so he sent Clayton to the continent of Chino in advance, in case the worst happened to Regner. And in the end, Clayton really saved Regner's life.

But after saving Regner, Clayton has no reason to stay on the Chino continent. Eventually, he said goodbye to Mother and Son and returned to Orgrimmar on the continent of Reims. And Flanda's mother and son also have the capital to return to human society after losing the conspicuous alien race of orcs by their side. Soon after Clayton's departure, they returned to the human town where they had once lived, and although life had changed, the care and thoughtfulness with which they cared for Regna remained the same.

And so, day after day, year after year, Regner never woke up. Flanda just felt that in the blink of an eye, Claudes, who was originally of average height among the human races, had become a tall and muscular teenager who was nearly two meters tall. The little girl in the town that Claudes had been talking about has also become a slim and beautiful girl. It was only when she compared the changes in these children that Flanda realized the passage of time.

"Before I knew it, it had been ten years. While feeding Regner, Flanda said to him, "My lord, a lot has happened in the past ten years. ”
