29 The first step in learning independence
"Eletaxia, why do you want to move out? Is Simon Mentor's Mansion bad? Or is there something you're not used to? Mick asked tentatively.
"I ......" Elletahia didn't know what to say.
In all fairness, Simon was a gentleman towards her, and there was not the slightest hint of offensive manners at all. However, she just felt very awkward.
"Maybe I'm not used to being alone with men,...... After all, I can't remember anything. He's just a very gracious man to me...... Friend? ”
Seeing the tangle in Ettaxia's words, Mick continued to work harder. "Then if you're very close, will you be able to accept Mentor Simon?"
Elletahia shook her head.
"We can't be that kind of intimacy." She continued, embarrassed. "I can't remember much, but I can remember that I had a husband before I was alive, and Simon himself admitted it to me."
Mick looked at her with a strange expression. "Would you want to go to your husband? If he were still alive. ”
"I want to go to him." Eletaxia nodded. She remembered that fragment again, the heartache at that time.
"If I find him, I have something to ask him." I want to ask him for my past self. Why didn't he believe her.
"Do you understand the meaning of the Forsaken?" Mick suddenly said, "The forsaken are neither living nor dead. We return to the world we once said goodbye to, but we can never go back to the days when we were alive, and we can never go back to those we once loved. We are both existence and curse, so we forget the past, and are forgotten by the past...... Even if you find him, it's impossible to go back in time, so what's the point of finding him? ”
"Yes!" Eletaxia's eyes looked at Mick steadfastly. "For me, since I've had a past, I have to figure it out before I can decide how I should go with my life after that."
"What does that have to do with you moving out?"
Eletahya was silent.
Just when Mick thought she wouldn't speak, she spoke. "I can't take in peace what I can't reciprocate."
…………
"So, you let her live out alone?" Simon looked at Mick with blazing eyes. "You told her if there was a stake."
Mick felt that she was really not human inside and out, but in the face of Simon's anger, she didn't dare to explain, but 1510 relayed the words of Eretasia.
After saying that, Mick felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a few more points.
"Something that can't be reciprocated?" Simon whispered the words with a fierce look in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled. "Forget it, I'm too impatient. Maybe it's not a good thing to keep her under my wing either. The bird always has to hit its head and break the blood flow before it will obediently know where to stay is the safest place. ”
Mick didn't dare to stand aside, just pretending not to hear.
"Since she wants to be independent, let's give her independence. Anyway, Lin Duen didn't know what she looked like," Simon gently twisted a strand of his hair with his hand and continued to mutter, "What we have now is time...... However, there is still a need to consider the safety issue......"
He whispered. "Ellerel!"
The glamorous succubus with a sweet fragrance is summoned from the different dimensions.
"Master~You haven't found someone to come out for a long time~" Ellerel blinked her wink, her girlish face was a little innocent, and she lay on Simon's body with a happy voice, and her slender black tail swung and wrapped around Simon's calf.
"Go and protect Eletaxia." Simon didn't do anything to tease her.
"Why?" Eellerel was a little surprised and resentful in his heart, but he pretended to be stupid on his face, and put on a coquettish and resentful look. "Succubi only serve their masters~! People want their noses~! ”
"Because your soul stone is with her." Simon looked at her with satisfaction, unable to hide his surprised face. "Soul stones, but they can withstand a fatal damage from the host. If anything happens to her, your Soul Stone will shatter in place of her death. Now, are you still going? ”
………………
In the small room of the Muddy Hotel, Selma, who was suffering from illness, finally fell asleep.
Leo carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her. Then, by the dim candlelight on the table, he began to count the inventory in the herb bag space. Most of the common herbs had been exchanged for money by him.
But if you can't find a pharmacist who can heal Selma, what's the use of extra money? Leo sighed, looking sadly at Selma, who was already asleep.
Cerma must be cured, definitely!
Leo secretly cheered himself on in the bottom of his heart.
At this point, there was a slight knock on the door twice.
"Mr. Leo...... Did you sleep? A small voice asked softly.
Leo hurriedly stood up and ran to the door, only to open it a crack.
"Who are you?" Leo looked warily at the man hiding under his hood and couldn't see his face, "I don't remember any friends I have here. ”
The visitor looked up and smiled at him, "I'm Airetasia, I've been here during the day." ”
Leo suddenly realized. "Hello, Miss Pastor, please come in."
Eletahia flashed through the door. She glanced at the sleeping Selma on the ** and lowered her voice. "I'm sorry to visit you at this time, but there are some things that my friend can't ask you about when he's around."
Leo was a little confused, but asked her to sit down and poured her a glass of water, considering her help for the siblings today. "Miss Pastor, if you have anything to say, just ask, as long as I know, I will tell you."
Elletaxia caught a glimpse of the herbs scattered on the table, which had not yet been put away by Leo.
"Actually......" she bowed her head, a little embarrassed. I would like to ask you to teach me, I would love to learn to gather herbs because I have just studied pharmacy now, and I don't have that much money to buy raw materials. And ......" Eletaxia's face involuntarily turned redder and redder. "I don't know anything, I want to learn something to make some money. Speaking of which, we only met for the first time today, and I am really embarrassed to ask you this, but I will pay your tuition, really! ”
Leo looked at her, then sighed. "It's okay, kind-hearted young lady, I'm willing to teach you, I can see that you are different from your two friends."
"Really?" Eletahia was overjoyed.
