Chapter 25: A Little Determination
Medical Department, Osford College, Ward III.
The walls of the house are whitewashed as white as snow, the four large beds are neatly arranged in the four corners of the room, the white bedding is folded neatly and placed at the head of the bed, there is no smell of disinfectant water in the hospital on the earth, but there is a refreshing floral fragrance, it is the profane flower placed on the balcony, this yellow five-petal flower is exuding a faint fragrance, although it is not rich, but it smells light and good, and the proliflower in addition to the floral fragrance, it also has the effect of purifying the air, and many local residents also like to put it at home.
On one of the four corners of the bed lay a girl, with thick blond hair like a waterfall, her eyes closed on her charming face, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was having a sweet dream.
"Where is this?"
Ellie couldn't help asking, she had just woken up, no, not to be exact, because she couldn't move now, she could feel that her eyes weren't open, but she could "see" everything around her, the white walls and ceiling, the other three beds around, and the little old man sitting on a chair beside his bed.
"Dean Bill?" Ellie said in surprise.
But Bill didn't react to what she said, as if he hadn't heard Ellie's voice.
"What's going on?"
Ellie could hear herself talking, but for some reason she couldn't get it out.
Ellie was a little panicked, the girl couldn't feel her body, although she had a voice when she spoke, she couldn't feel her mouth moving, her voice was clear and ethereal, as if it was an echo, if it wasn't for a person sitting next to her, she would feel like she was alone here, so cold.
The girl became like this after withdrawing from the sea of consciousness, she was a little overwhelmed, this kind of thing never happened, she could "see" her surroundings without her eyes, her mind was active, but her body couldn't move, as if her body wasn't yours, she couldn't be controlled by you, it was as weird as an out-of-body soul, and it couldn't be controlled.
The girl felt as if she had become the air around her, and could "see" everything around her, even the dew drops on the small flowers on the balcony next to her.
"Oh, sir, wait, sir! Please stop! ”
"Let me in, don't stop me."
Just as the girl was still wondering about her state, there was a quarrel outside the door, and one of the voices was familiar, as if it was the dragon Elmoth.
As for the other voice, if Catherine was still here, she would have heard that it was Miss Melina, the priest who had examined Ellie last night.
At this time, Melina looked helpless, a stranger came to break into the ward early in the morning, of course she couldn't let him in, there were still many patients resting here, but the strength of this intruder was not ordinary, she was just a priest, and her strength was not comparable to Elmos as a dragon.
"No, no, this is a ward, you can't just go in."
"I'm Ellie's guardian, why can't I go in?"
"Al?" Ellie is surprised, why is he here? Did Lynka tell him, really, it worried everyone again.
"The patient needs to rest, and you're going to disturb her."
"Then why did you say this bad old man is here?"
"What bad old man can't be here?" Pastor Melina heard what was being said, and she turned her head to meet Bill, who was smiling awkwardly.
"Lord Dean! Why are you here? When did you come in? Melina said angrily, clutching her forehead, looking a little troubled by the fact that the dean was here.
What happened to this academy? The dean of Osford didn't lead by example, and even took the lead in making mistakes.
"Uh, this, haha, I just came, yes, just came."
Actually, I've been here for half an hour! Bill, who was disrespectful to the old man, thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, even if Melina's strength was not enough to deter him, but he was not at fault......
"Lord Dean, how can you sneak in?"
"Uh, I just care about the students"
"El, Dean Bill......"
While the three of them were arguing, Ellie was struggling with how she would "wake up".
Suddenly, the girl's eyes went dark, she felt her body instantly heavier, a heavy feeling hit, as if she had suddenly carried a sandbag on her body, but what made Ellie happy was that the control of her body had finally returned, she could feel the weight of her body exerted by gravity, she could feel the voice in her right ear, not that all-round stereo, and she could feel the little tongue in her mouth protesting, she was really thirsty......
Ellie licked her lips and opened her eyes.
"Ellie~! Are you okay? ”
Al, who was most concerned about Ellie's physical condition, saw Ellie open her eyes, squeezed past Melina and ran to the bed, and asked eagerly.
"I'm fine, I'm worried about you." Ellie said apologetically, obviously saying that she was independent, but she still caused trouble for everyone.
"You're fine."
Elmos breathed a sigh of relief, he was woken up early in the morning by Caroline, saying that Ellie was in danger, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurried over, but when he came to the medical department and was blocked from the door, he was in a hurry, Ellie was not just the purifier of the Ring, but also his friend, and now that the kind girl may be in danger, he can't stand idly by, and others don't know what a terrible thing Ellie has in her body.
But seeing Ellie lying there quietly, his heart was also relieved, and Ellie was fine.
"I'm sorry, Al, for worrying you." Ellie whispered that she couldn't justifiably say "I'm fine, don't worry about you" to these people who cared about her.
"What the hell is going on?" Elmos asked.
"I don't know, someone broke my guard magic shield, and then I don't know anything......" Ellie told the truthful story of the day.
However, the confused girl didn't say any useful information, the only thing that was certain was that the person who came was very powerful, and could instantly break Ellie's second-order magic shield.
There was one more thing Ellie hadn't told Elmos, that is, her life had actually been saved by Elf Horn, and the girl didn't seem to know about it, it was because Linka hadn't told him, and she didn't want her friends to worry about it.
The girl just looked inward and looked at the elven horn on her chest, although the green glimmer was still flowing slowly, it was twice as small as before, and she should have used all her energy to heal herself.
Although the dark aura emitted by the ring did not leak out, the green energy was already powerless, and now it mainly relied on the girl's own light energy to counter the aura of the ring.
She didn't tell them these things, maybe it was dangerous not to say it, but the girl didn't want others to worry about her again, and the girl felt that Linka had something to hide and didn't tell her, just like this time, if it wasn't for Linka telling her about the elf horn, she wouldn't know about it, but she believed in Linka and believed that she wouldn't harm herself, and since Linka didn't say anything about it this time, then there was no danger, this was a small trust between friends.
What the girl didn't know was that if it weren't for the lack of energy of the elven horn this time, Loris's phantom would not have appeared, and even now, the girl didn't know about Loris's existence, and she wouldn't have entered the sea of consciousness to communicate with people by herself.
Maybe it's a lack of cultivation, the girl thought after this incident.
