Chapter Ninety-Eight: Vulnerable
Carefully cut off a piece of steak and stick it with a fork, and the flame that was still burning gradually extinguished. Edwell put it in his mouth without looking at it, it looked like the steak that had just been extinguished would be very hot, but the entrance was not as hot as expected, but after a moment of heat, the first thing it brought was the strong and strong aroma of the flem, and the sweet taste was rich and not dissipated. When you bite into the steak, the crispy skin cracks, the gravy overflows, and the soft meat is extremely delicate, and every time you chew, the mellow and thick gravy spreads in your mouth, and it is fully integrated with the aroma of the spirit, which is simply indescribable delicious.
Edwell was extremely excited, and he didn't know what words to use to describe the deliciousness in his mouth, but he knew that this was not the best flaming steak, because Naranfodo's steak was made from the local unique snow mountain yak meat, but Osford was far away from there, so he could only eat ordinary beef, but even then it was already extremely delicious, and if he could eat that yak meat, he didn't know what the texture would be.
"Delicious! It's so delicious, Merlin, are you sure you don't want one? Edwell said excitedly.
"No, you eat, I'm not hungry." Merlin refused.
"Okay then." Hearing this, Edwell cut off another piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily, his face squinting with pleasure.
Merlin, who was watching from the sidelines, said that no matter what Edwell did, he was very handsome, even if he was such a boring eater. Then she silently nodded a thumbs up in her heart. Turning her head, she realized that it was not only she who was looking at Edwell's eating intently, but Ellie was also looking at Edwell, which slightly caused her dissatisfaction, and the girl seemed to be getting more and more aggressive, looking at Edwell eating steak without blinking.
"You ......"
Just as Merlin was preparing to "crusade" Ellie, something unexpected happened.
"Vomitβ"
Ellie actually threw up on her stomach and vomited, but Ellie, who had not eaten for a day and a morning, couldn't vomit anything, just kept retching.
Edwell, who was eating the last bite of steak, froze, as did Cialis, who was wiping her mouth with a napkin, and Merlin was pointing at Ellie with no one in the direction she was pointing.
Edwell's blow was the hardest, he still remembered that the last time Ellie looked at him, could it be that his image today is very bad, so ugly that it makes people vomit? He looked at the mage dress he was wearing today, it was neat and clean, and there was no major problem, and then he touched Mei Lin on the side with his hand, who looked at him, "I ......"
"You're handsome." Merlin said before Edwell could finish speaking, and then nodded in convincing, leaving Edwell speechless.
"Ellie, what's wrong with you?" On the other side, as Ellie's best friend, Celis patted Ellie's back and asked anxiously.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. After retching for a while, Ellie felt better, but she didn't know what to say to anyone else, and she didn't want to cause trouble to others. But what happened just now was really terrible, originally she just glanced at Edwell eating steak, but in the next blink of an eye, the person in front of her actually changed, and the thing on the plate was no longer steak, but a bloody human hand, the man cut off a piece of finger with a knife, and actually put it in his mouth like that to chew, and the creaking between the teeth and broken bones made people shudder. And Ellie also saw the person's appearance clearly, it was actually John, the beheaded city lord in the illusion, and he chewed his fingers in his mouth and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's so delicious." β
When she came to her senses, she couldn't control the churning in her stomach, and although it was rude and annoying to do so at the dinner table, the girl didn't want such a thing to happen.
Edwell couldn't care so much, he left his seat and came to Ellie's side, he knew that Ellie was a very polite person, even some big aristocratic ladies were not as polite as Ellie, so Ellie would not do such a thing on purpose. He had a guess in his mind, and that was the illusion of yesterday's game. He didn't know what was in the illusion, what the people who were tested saw it, obviously they were all healthy before the game that day, but after leaving the illusion, there were different anomalies, Merlin was one of them, but Ellie was much more serious than Merlin.
"Ellie, are you alright?" Edwell asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry, Ed, I don't want to ...... like that," Ellie's words were full of apologies.
"It's okay, don't talk about me, how are you, Ellie? Is it because of that illusion yesterday? Edwell voiced his conjectures.
Ellie nodded, her pale face full of pain and pity. Not daring to cook meat and even eating some vegetables has become a problem, which is indeed a symptom after coming out of the illusion. The things in the illusion are like shadows, in fact, the girl is very hungry, but if she is forced to eat some food, she will vomit it all. The apple in the girl's hand was made from food magic that she hadn't used for a long time, but she was still hesitant to eat it, because if she spit it out again, her body really couldn't stand that kind of blow.
"Have you asked the pastor to see? I'll take you to the Church of Light. Edwell said anxiously, reaching out to pull Ellie up.
"No, no...... I'm a pastor myself, and I'll be fine in a few days, but I'm just a little sick to my stomach, and it's fine. Ellie waved Edwell's hand without a trace, she didn't want to trouble others, and she was a pastor herself, she knew that this was not a disease that a pastor could cure, because it was a disease of the heart.
Sure enough, I'm still too weak, if I can be a little stronger......
"Don't be pushy." Edwell didn't know how to convince the girl, after all, he was just an outsider. I had to sigh silently.
"Well, I will, then...... I'm so sorry...... I took my leave. β
Seeing that Cialis had finished breakfast, the girl pulled Cialis away after bowing apologetically to Edwell.
At this time, only Merlin and Edwell were left, Merlin looked at Ellie's back when she left, and then looked at Edwell's concerned expression, and said a little gloomy, "What, don't you catch up?" β
"But...... Ellie doesn't seem to need my help. Edwell said hesitantly.
"Ed is such an idiot!" Merlene, who was in a mood for the better, said.
"Why me?" Edwell was depressed.
"It's nothing, it's just an assessment of a stupid person." Merlin said happily, and walked in Ellie's direction.
"Where are you going? You're also in the hallucination, and it's best to have the priest check your body. β
"I'm fine, you go back by yourself, I'll inspect the enemy."
The voice from Merlin, who had already walked away, left Edwell speechless, so he had to walk back by himself.
And Mei Lin just followed the path that Ellie had walked all the way, but it was not sneaky, but followed the two of them in a bright way. Hylis quickly found Merlin with them and told Ellie, but the girl just shook her head, they didn't go to any unsightly places, they just went to the library to look up materials, and by the way, helped Hylise review her homework, even if there was no entrance exam this semester, it didn't mean that she couldn't study hard. Although Cialis didn't seem to want to accept such kindness......
