After taking a bite of the sweet potato, no matter what Fei Yaran said, Yin was determined not to take a second bite. In this regard, Fei Yaran deeply regretted that he could only eat all the remaining sweet potatoes by himself.

The village chief Raul went and didn't come back for half a day. Xiao Yaka woke up from a nap and saw that only Aunt Mary was guarding by the bedside, and immediately knew that it must be Emma's condition that was not good again, so Grandpa was nowhere to be seen.

"Aunt Mary, how is Emma?" Getting up from the bed, little Yakalla asked urgently, tapping Mary's cuffs.

Mary sighed and touched Xiao Yaka's anxious face lovingly, but she still told the truth, "...... Not so good. ”

"I'm going to see Emma!" Hearing Mary's words, Little Yaka quickly jumped out of bed, put on her shoes and ran out the door.

"Yaka! You wait for me! Seeing this, Mary also ran out of the house, intending to go back with Yaka.

But I didn't want to, as soon as I went out, I saw two adults standing side by side in the courtyard, and my footsteps paused suddenly.

Fei Yaran had already heard the conversation between Yaka and Mary in the house before, so she knew that Yaka and the woman named Mary were going to the house of the little girl named "Emma" at this time.

However, after seeing Mary's footsteps stop and a look of embarrassment and hesitation on her face, Fei Yaran's mind turned and she understood the scruples in her heart—probably she was not at ease to leave the two strangers alone at the village chief's house.

Thinking of this, Fei Yaran glanced at Yin, smiled and said to Mary, "If you don't mind, can we go over together?" ”

Mary hesitated, then looked at Xiao Yaka, who had already opened the bamboo fence and ran out of the long way away, and finally nodded to Fei Yaran, and quickly walked out of the village chief's house.

"Let's go over and have a look." After saying goodbye to Yin, Fei Yaran also followed out the door, and Yin naturally followed.

There are only about thirty households in Nameless Village, which is a very small village, and you can see the other end of the village from the entrance of the village, so Fei Yaran and Silver have arrived at Emma's house not long after they walk out.

At this time, there were already a lot of people around here, almost all of them were old and weak, women and children. Seeing Fei Yaran and Yin, who had followed Mary, their eyes were suddenly full of surprise and vigilance.

Such two looks, which should not have appeared at the same time, have been seen several times in less than half a day, and they are not strangers.

Sensing that the crowd suddenly tensed up because of the arrival of himself and Silver, Fei Yaran paused and stopped outside Emma's house with Silver.

Are the people of this village too wary of outsiders?

Many doubts flashed in his heart, and seeing that Mary, who had already entered the courtyard, was looking back at him and Yin, Fei Yaran smiled comfortingly, shook his head and signaled that he and Silver were waiting outside, and did not plan to go in again. Mary breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out an embarrassed smile, and then turned around and entered Emma's house.

The air nearby was a little cloudy, mixed with a faint hint of blood.

The people here do not use cleansing magic like elves, and have plenty of water, and do not have the deep-rooted cleanliness habits of elves, so bathing seems to be a very luxurious thing, and the smell of the body is mostly not very good, plus the smell of livestock excrement has been wafting in the air, although it has long been used to it for humans, but for elves with keen five senses, it is full of torture.

And now, in this torture, the smell of blood oozes again.

Looking at Emma's house, which was surrounded by a crowd, Fei Yaran groaned for a moment, then called out the system panel, clicked on the focus list, and sure enough, he saw a little girl named Emma among the people nearby, and the blood bar was almost bottoming out, and it was still slowly draining.

From the system panel, Fei Yaran could clearly see the purple-black "poisoned" debuff on the little girl's head. This "poisoned" debuff doesn't drop a lot of health, what really makes Emma's HP plummet is the "tearing" debuff on her body.

It is clear that in addition to being poisoned, the little girl was also injured.

If this continues, it won't be long before Emma can go back to camp.

Of course, for humans without a system, returning to camp means complete death.

Fei Yaran's brow furrowed slightly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Emma's house to suddenly hear a noisy cry and the screams of children.

Fei Yaran glanced at the focus list again, and Emma's blood bar was almost only a thin layer of blood, indicating that her life was coming to an end.

With a pursed of her lips, Fei Yaran quickly pushed away the crowd in front of her, and the wind rushed into Emma's house. Squeezing into the villagers gathered around the bed, and while everyone was amazed by his appearance, Fei Yaran whispered to the village chief Raul, who seemed to be a lot older and sitting next to Emma's bed, "I have a way to save her." ”

The crying stopped abruptly, and the old village chief raised his head sharply and looked at Fei Yaran.

His lips trembled, and Village Chief Raul's voice trembled a little, "Lord Jade, you...... What you say, is it true?! ”

"Village Chief!" The other villagers around the bed suddenly shouted in surprise.

There was no need to look, Fei Yaran knew that in the eyes of those villagers looking at him at this time, vigilance and vigilance had completely prevailed, but he just looked at the eyes of Village Chief Raul, and was completely unmoved by the vigilance of those villagers.

When Village Chief Raul heard this, the fatigue in his eyes became a little thicker, but in the end, he still said firmly to Fei Yaran: "My lord, please save her!" ”

Nodding slightly, Fei Yaran thought for a while, and asked the village chief to invite all the villagers gathered around the bed outside the house, and then looked at the little girl lying on the earthen kang with a pale face like a ghost.

Emma didn't look big, she was only eleven or twelve years old, with long blond hair, and her facial features were quite upright, and she could see that she was the embryo of a little beauty, but this child, like all the villagers, was very thin, and her bare/exposed arms were so slender that they seemed to break if they were broken.

And now, on that slender wrist, on a hideous wound, blood is still oozing outward, and under the wrist, in a basin-sized clay basin, most of the blood has been received, and the strong smell of blood in the air comes from this.

Fei Yaran was slightly stunned, because looking at this appearance, the reason for the rapid loss of blood in Emma's body was obviously caused by the villagers, not Emma's accidental injury.

Fei Yaran knew that in ancient times on earth, when medical conditions were backward, people sometimes used this kind of bloodletting therapy when they were sick, and such a treatment would indeed be effective, but it was clear that for Emma, who was already bleeding from all over her body, this treatment would obviously only kill her.

The village chief took away the blood basin that had smoked a headache, Fei Yaran groaned slightly, put his hand into his arms, and took out a bottle of gold sore medicine from the package, sprinkled it on the little girl's wrist, wrapped it with gauze, and then took out a bottle of lower grade to stop bleeding, helped Emma up, and poured half a bottle of small bottle for the little girl.

On the focus list, Emma's health bar skyrocketed at a visible rate, and Fei Yaran didn't stop until he was three-quarters full.

"Then it shouldn't be a problem." After settling Emma back into the kang, Fei Yaran got up and said to the village chief Raul.

Although Emma's "poisoned" debuff has not disappeared yet, there is already a countdown, and it is only a matter of time before it dissipates, and the amount of health lost due to poisoning will only weaken Emma for a while at most, and will not threaten her life. The "Tear" debuff had been eliminated after the Golden Sore Potion had just been applied, and of course, this was a sight that only Fei Yaran himself could see.

In fact, Fei Yaran also decided to use this method to save Emma after careful consideration, because whether it was using Qixiu's Yunshang Mind Method or the healing magic of the light and water system, the movements were too big, and the magic was accompanied by light effects, which was too high-profile for Fei Yaran, who had just appeared on the mainland.

Therefore, he chose the relatively low-key method of directly pouring Xiaohong into the little girl. But even so, for humans, the speed at which Emma's face recovered her blood was too fast, and the original painful and weak look quickly dissipated and became peaceful.

"Oh...... It's a miracle...... "Chief Raul obviously didn't expect Fei Yaran to actually be able to heal Emma's injuries, and the effect was so good.

He looked at Fei Yaran in a daze, as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes were full of panic for a moment, and he almost gasped and said, "Lord 'Jade', you ...... Could it be the priest from Pandora? ”

Except for the priests of the Temple of Light, Raul really couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a miraculous thing.

"No, I'm just an ordinary traveler." Shaking his head slightly to deny Raul's frightened question, Fei Yaran made a puzzled look and looked at Raul in confusion: "Why do you think I'm a priest?" ”

The Priest is the collective name given by the human race to all the staff of the Temple of Light scattered across the continent.

Interestingly, although the Temple of Light is a place set up by the Celestial Clan on the mainland to worship the God of Light, except for the central temple located in the center of the continent, which is infested by the priests of the Celestial Clan, the other temples of Light scattered throughout the continent, and the personnel responsible for their operation, including the Bishop of Light, are all composed of humans themselves.

"Because I can't think of anyone other than the priest who can save Emma." Thin fingers gently caressed Emma's little head, and Village Chief Raul said in a hoarse voice.

"Why, isn't there anyone else in the village who can heal?" There was something strange in his heart, Fei Yaran couldn't help but ask.

"No, not to mention our small village without a name, even in a town like Jacob's Town, if you want to heal, you can only ask the priests and adults of the temple." Raul shook his head and said slowly, his old face full of helplessness about the world, "However, in a place like ours, even if someone is really sick, there is no money to invite the priest...... Even if they had money, the priests would not come at all because the distance was too far away. ”

That is, here, once you get sick or injured, you can only resign yourself to fate, or simply bleed and wait for death.

Perceiving such unfinished words on the face of the village chief Raul, Fei Yaran couldn't help but sigh.

And judging from the fact that the human medical system is completely dependent on the Temple of Light, the penetration of the Celestial Race into the human world in the past few hundred years seems to be far more far-reaching than Fei Yaran's analysis from various news.

However, the Celestial Clan did this, and Fei Yaran also understood why.

Mr. Anse once said that the reason why Noras, the Lord of the Celestials, claimed to be the God of Light to save the world, was only to collect faith from humans.

But faith is something that comes into being for the vast majority of human beings only when they have a desire for God.

And for human beings, birth, old age, sickness and death, which hurt the most, are obviously the things that frighten them the most.

The Celestial Race monopolized the medical business in the human race, and changed it to be controlled by all the priests, so that the human race had to rely only on the Temple of Light in the face of illness and death.

And if the entire country, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, has such an attitude towards the Temple of Light, it is no wonder that the power of the Celestial Clan in the human race over the years has grown to what it is today.

After all, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death.

"Village Chief Raul, Emma is fine now, let's go back first and let her rest well." Seeing that the old village chief fell into deep thought after speaking, Fei Yaran reminded.

When the village chief Raul heard this, he came back to his senses, "Yes, yes, I'm going to call Mary to come in and take care of Emma, and she will be very happy to see Emma now." After saying that, the village chief Raul opened the door first and walked out.

Fei Yaran naturally followed.

The chief of Raul was clearly very authoritative in the village, as evidenced by the fact that the villagers were obviously wary of Fei Yaran, but they still left the house under his orders.

And after Raul and Fiaran came out, everyone also kept staring at the village chief Raul, waiting for him to speak, and there was no too chaotic scene.

Raul also seemed to see that Fei Yaran seemed to have something to ask him, so after briefly telling everyone that Emma was fine, he took little Yaka's hand and walked home.

Naturally, Fei Yaran would not stay here. After glancing at Yin, who was alone not far from Emma's house, and motioning for him to follow, Fei Yaran took two quick steps and came to the side of the village chief Raul.

"Lord Jade, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask." When he was about to walk to the house of the village chief of Raul, the old man suddenly said.

"Then you're welcome." After smiling and saying this, Fei Yaran groaned slightly before saying, "I want to know, why is Emma poisoned?" ”

Village Chief Raul's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at Fei Yaran, with obvious surprise in his eyes, "How do you know...... Is Emma poisoned? ”

Not only did I know that she was poisoned, but I also knew that the cause of the poisoning was the miasma that persisted in the Misty Forest all year round.

Although she thought so in her heart, Fei Yaran still had a mysterious look on her face, "Since I can cure her, it is naturally because I know why she became like this." ”

The miasma in the misty forest, Fei Yaran has been familiar with all these years. That miasma is completely immune to elves, and for other races, it is not something that can be easily dealt with, after all, that miasma is more or less a protective line of Azeroth, which can block the vast majority of creatures who want to explore the location of Azeroth.

Therefore, when he realized that the poison in Emma's body actually came from the Misty Forest, Fei Yaran was surprised.

After all, the appearance of Village Chief Raul sternly warning him not to approach the Misty Forest didn't look like he was cheating.

And judging from the attitude of the villagers towards the village chief Raul, it doesn't look like they will go against his words.

So, what is the reason why Emma, a little girl who is only eleven or twelve years old, disobeys the order of the village chief and runs to the misty forest?

Does this have anything to do with the disappearance of the young man in the village?

The village chief Raul looked at Fiaran deeply.

From the moment he saw this "Jade" adult, he knew that neither he nor his friend Silver was a simple character, and the process of "Jade" saving Emma's life before made the village chief Raul affirm that the origin of these two people must be not small.

But since they saved Emma's life, they are the benefactors of their entire village.

Therefore, even if the true identity of "Jade" and Silver is not known, in the face of the problem of the life-saving benefactor, the village chief of Raul cannot do anything to hide.

What's more, he always felt that these two should not have the slightest connection with the magnates of the temple or Jacob's town.

Thinking like this, Village Chief Raul froze down, and then answered Fei Yaran's question, "Emma is actually poisoned in the Misty Forest. ”

Without waiting for Fei Yaran to ask him why the little girl ran to the Misty Forest, Village Chief Raul continued in one breath: "Come to think of it, you and Lord Yin should have noticed that there are no young adults in our village. ”

Hearing this, Fei Yaran nodded.

Village Chief Raul continued: "This matter started more than a hundred years ago. Don't look at our village like it is now, in fact, we have lived here for hundreds of years. More than a hundred years ago, the town of Jacob suddenly discovered the Moon and Half Stone Mine, and after the temple got the news, it soon began to organize mining. Afterward...... Because of the huge amount of mining and the need for more and more miners, every year the temple recruits miners near Jacob's town, but most of them are voluntary......"

Raul paused before continuing: "However, more than twenty years ago, when a new mayor was appointed in Jacob Town, he began to forcibly take young adults from nearby villages and send them to the mining area. ”

"It is because of this that our village has become what it is today."

"Without young adults, the crops in the fields could not be planted in the spring, so the women had to grow more vegetables...... Later, within a few years, the children in the village gradually grew up and were taken away again. Nowadays, when outsiders are seen in the village, they are afraid that they will come to arrest them again...... Yaka's father was also captured by them, and his mother had a serious illness after that, and soon went to see the god of light, leaving Yaka and me alone. ”

Hearing this, Fei Yaran unexpectedly raised his eyebrows.

The so-called Moon Half Stone is a gem that can test the magical attributes that he found from the Celestial Priest when he was in the Dillon Desert. This gemstone is mostly transparent and white, but it is also translucent, and it will emit a faint moonlight-like halo in the light, hence the name Moon Half Stone. Fei Yaran also learned its name after asking Teacher Anse at the beginning.

"So what's going on with Emma, isn't she a girl?"

Hearing Fei Yaran's question, Village Chief Raul showed a trace of embarrassment, mixed with a little anger and injustice, "Emma was favored by the son of the mayor's family before, and the mayor sent someone to take Emma away a few days ago, and the child hid directly in the forest...... When they couldn't find Emma and left, we went to find her near the forest, she was already in a coma. ”

Fei Yaran nodded, but after thinking of Emma's age, he had to be embarrassed by the heavy taste of the second ancestor of the Zhenzhang family.

In fact, this kind of bullying and domineering thing will appear wherever it is, as long as there are people. Although Fei Yaran sympathized with the plight of the villagers of Nameless Village, he wanted to know more about the role of the so-called priests who spread the well-being of the God of Light in this matter.

"The mayor of Jacob is acting so domineeringly, doesn't anyone stand up to stop it?" Since Jacob's Town is a place where the Moon Half Stone is mined, then the Temple of Light will definitely send someone to supervise it. According to the words of the village chief Raul, the mayor seems to be acting quite unscrupulously, and if there are really priests stationed in Jacob's town, then those priests must not be ignorant of this.

"I heard that the mayor of the town is related to a certain adult in the imperial capital, even if he is a priest, he has to sell him a little face, how can he offend the mayor for the sake of us ordinary people...... Just turn a blind eye. After speaking, Village Chief Raul couldn't help but sigh deeply, his eyes were full of bitterness and powerlessness in the world.

After hearing this, Fei Yaran lowered his eyes and nodded, and did not ask anything more.

Now that he had received the news he wanted, Fiaran soon decided to say goodbye to the village chief Raul and Little Yaka and go to Jacob's town to find out what was going on.

Before leaving, Fei Yaran left a lot of sweet potatoes for the village chief of Raul, and also taught him how to grow sweet potatoes. For this reason, the old village chief was so excited that his eyes were red, and he almost couldn't help crying on the spot when he was old - because he knew that a simple and easy food like sweet potatoes to grow and survive, and could be directly used as a staple food, was like a lifesaver for their entire village.

Therefore, even if Fei Yaran repeatedly stopped him, the old man still kowtowed to him a few times to thank him.

Fei Yaran looked uncomfortable, thought for a while, took out a few grasses from his backpack, pointed them out to Raul, and then told him which grass can stop bleeding, which can treat headache and brain fever, and which can treat diarrhea......

After pointing one by one, the old village chief almost knelt down for him again, and Fei Yaran had no choice but to pull Yin and leave quickly.

"Lady 'Emerald'......" When he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he heard the crisp cry of Yaka behind him.

Fei Yaran let go of Silver's sleeve and looked back at the little guy running up to him. Squatting down and rubbing Xiao Yaka's head, Fei Yaran smiled, "Is there something wrong with Yaka calling uncle?" ”

Hearing Fei Yaran's words, Yaka cautiously stretched out her hand, grabbed Fei Yaran's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency...... Are you a 'heretic'? ”

Fei Yaran was stunned.

The so-called "heresy" is the name of the celestial clan for the humans with magical talents who have been hunted and killed over the years, and they preach that the humans with magical talents are the incarnation of the devil, so human beings always have fear and rejection of "heretics", even if they are relatives, once they find "heretics", they will not hesitate to report to the temple and hand over the "heretics" to the temple for execution.

In human beings, the word "heresy" is almost synonymous with disaster, and everyone talks about it, and the "heresy" that is discovered often ends up extremely tragic.

Therefore, when Yaka asks Fei Yaran if he is a "heretic", Fei Yaran is surprised.

"Why do you ask?" What even the village chief of Raul didn't see, Fei Yaran wanted to know how the child knew.

"When I was in the kitchen at noon, I saw that you suddenly conjured up such a big fireball." Xiao Yaka said this, and did not forget to draw a large circle in his hand to show the size of the fireball.

Fei Yaran was touched by his tone and movements, and pinched the little guy's face with a smile, "If Uncle is really a 'heretic', aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Yaka Koha: "......"

"But, but the Lord saved Emma's life, you are a good person!" After a while, the little guy stared at his round eyes and pouted slightly.

The smile on Fei Yaran's face gradually softened, "Yaka, remember what you said today. Good people and bad people should never be judged by whether they are 'heretics'. ”

"So, you're a heretic, aren't you?" With a light of surprise in his eyes, Xiao Yaka shouted excitedly, but then, he suddenly covered his small mouth, looked around vigilantly, and found that there was no one here except the three of them, so he patted his little chest and whispered: "It's good that you weren't heard by others, otherwise you would be in danger." ”

"Even if anyone hears it, I won't be in any danger." Laughing and pinching the little guy's skinny face with almost no flesh, Fei Yaran smiled and said, "Because there is no one who can hurt me at all." With that, he straightened up and touched little Yaka's head.

"Why?" Xiao Yaka raised her head and asked sneeringly.

"Because my strength is strong enough for me not to be harmed in the face of power and force."

After saying this, Fei Yaran lowered his head and smiled at the little guy again, and then turned around and left with Yin, "Goodbye, little Yaka." ”

As the sun set, the dim light of dusk stretched the shadows of Fei Yaran and Silver for a long, long time.

Xiao Yaka looked at their backs in a daze, and suddenly pressed her left chest with her hand.

It was the first time since he was born that someone had said such things to him.

As long as it's strong enough, it won't take any damage.

So, if one day, he also becomes as powerful as Lord "Jade", is it not the people of the village who will never be bullied by anyone again?

In a young and simple heart, the idea of wanting to become stronger sprouted for the first time.

Like a spark, young, but indestructible.

"You like humans a lot." Until the nameless village completely disappeared behind him, Yin, who had been following Fei Yaran's side, suddenly said.

It is a declarative sentence with a flat tone, not a question, nor a rhetorical question.

So much so that Fei Yaran was stunned when he heard it.

He didn't really understand why Silver came to such a conclusion, could it be, "Because I saved Emma today?" ”

When Yin heard this, he stopped, and Fei Yaran had no choice but to stop.

He could sense that Silver was looking at him at the moment. Although Yin was a little taller than him, because the other party was wearing a cloak and his eyebrows and eyes were covered by a hat, Fei Yaran couldn't see Yin's expression at this time, and could only see the other party's straight nose bridge and pale pink thin lips.

"Not only the little girl, but also the old man and the little boy, and the other humans, you were gentle and courteous enough, and completely sincere, as if you were dealing with not a human, but an elf."

As an elf for twenty years, Fei Yaran naturally knows that the elves are superior and proud from the soul, but Silver doesn't know that in the past twenty years, he has been a human for nearly thirty years, so he knows very well that human beings, like elves, are also creatures with feelings and thoughts, and will feel pain when they are injured, and happy when they are happy.

What is the difference between humans and elves in terms of soul?

So, even if he intellectually knew that such a statement as silver was normal for the elves, the human part of his soul could not agree with it at all.

Taking a deep breath and trying to shake away the suffocating feeling in his chest, Fei Yaran fixed his eyes on the silver delicate chin, pursed his lips, and then said: "Yes, I admit that human beings are completely incomparable to elves in terms of appearance and strength, but this is a very complex race, and it cannot be summed up in simple words. From the words of the previous village chief Raul, you should also hear that they are greedy, ignorant, bullying, and even evil, but you can't deny that there are also many human beings, who are simple, clean, and creative, and can often burst out with unimaginable power in order to survive. ”

"I don't know if I like them or not, but for sure, I don't want this race to survive like this all the time."

"No one, Celestials or us elves, should interfere in their lives."

Human beings should live more freely.

This is the hope of him, who has a human soul, after learning about the current living conditions of human beings on the mainland.

It's not just for the task of the system, for human beings, Fei Yaran always hopes that these former compatriots can be less cowardly and have been subject to any race, and can live proudly like humans on earth.

"Are you angry?" There was a hint of confusion in Silver's voice.

Fei Yaran couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly, "Elder Yin, Teacher Anse should just let you protect my safety, not analyze my every move!" ”

He didn't like Yin's appearance as if he could see through him at any time, and the most important thing was that the other party said it so lightly after seeing it through.

"Little one, has anyone ever said that you sometimes have emotions that fluctuate like a human being." Slightly curled the corners of his lips, Silver smiled and said, "What a cub who doesn't know how to be polite." ”

"I've never seen an elf like you, more difficult to get along with than Garcia." Glancing at Silver with an expressionless face, Fei Yaran was-for-tat.

"Yes," Silver said, not angry, but tilted his head slightly, facing Azeroth, with a smile on his lips, "The king told me before that his student is a good boy who is humble and reasonable. However, after getting along with each other along the way, I have some doubts about Wang's judgment, and perhaps I should write to him for advice. ”

"Don't think I'll be afraid of you if I move out of Mr. Anse." couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yin, Fei Yaran couldn't help but whisper, but in the end, he couldn't help but blush slightly because he heard Teacher Anse's praise from the other party.

This qiē, Yindu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes that were covered by the cloak.

After a brief casual conversation, the two of them set out again on their way to Jacob's Town.
