31. Wake up
Gladly opening his eyes, feeling the feeling of weakness coming from his body, Qi Wuce felt glad for the good fortune of the rest of his life.
Turning his gaze away from the unfamiliar ceiling, Qi Wubu observed the environment he was in.
Judging from the interior of the house alone, it doesn't look like a place where ordinary English people live, after all, ordinary people can't afford blankets made of monster fur.
Qi Wuce looked out the window, and from the rather energetic Yangguan, he could tell that it was morning.
Although he was a little thirsty and hungry, his extremely weak body did not allow Qi Wuce to get up from the bed.
However, since it is early in the morning, there should be someone who will come to see his injury soon, thinking of this, Qi Wuxuan relaxed, after all, the other party will save him here, how can he be left to fend for himself.
Because of his physical problems, Qi Wuce was unable to communicate with the magic in Da Yuan, but fortunately, Xiao Yuan in his body was able to barely support him to use magic that accelerated his body's healing.
It's a pity that because of the damage to the body, the small source that appeared based on the body has also been greatly affected, so the effect of healing magic is minimal.
However, talking is better than nothing, and Qi Wuce, who has nothing to do at present, can only patiently wait for his body to heal slowly.
With the passage of time, because he was too bored, he was helpless in his contemplation and slowly fell asleep.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the dry mouth seemed to be rejuvenated by the rain.
Because of that comfortable feeling, Qi Wuce, who had taken a nap, slowly opened his eyes.
"Guest, you're finally awake!"
There was a surprise in his voice, the joy of witnessing the stubborn life successfully resist death.
Qi Wuce opened his eyes and took a cursory look at the two people standing in front of his bed, one was an adult woman with a rough palm, and the other was a blonde girl who looked much younger than him.
Then, Qi Wuce's gaze was quickly attracted by the windless and automatic dull hair on the blonde girl's head.
Of course, the sleek Qi Wuce is not an uninteresting person, and it is better not to stare at others when you meet for the first time. His gaze only lingered on the striking gray hair for only two seconds, and then quickly looked away.
Although it was difficult for the body to move, just putting on an expression was something that Qi Wuce could still do.
The bloodless face smiled, and Qi Wuce, who was still a little weak, thanked the person in front of him and said: "Two beautiful young ladies, although I can't do anything now, I must thank you for saving my life, and I will always remember this kindness." ”
"I'm just a servant of the Knight of Ector, and if you want to thank me, thank Altoris, who is the one who brought you all the way back from the river." In response to Qi Wuce's thanks, the woman with rough palms just smiled and gave credit to the girl next to her.
He? Altoris? Listening to the person who claimed to be a servant introducing the person next to him who was obviously a girl in the way of introducing men, Qi Wuting was only slightly puzzled, and did not choose to continue to investigate the root cause of this problem.
Just when Qi Wuce was stunned, the servant glanced at Artoria beside him and left the room.
"I'm sorry, probably because of the injury, my spirit is a little trance."
Qi Wuce, who realized that his thinking had slowed down, apologized as soon as he came back to his senses.
"If you feel a little tired, please take care of yourself, after all, you are a patient, and you can recover faster by resting more."
The soft and gentle voice made Qi Wuce feel like a spring breeze, and at the same time, he once again doubted the true gender of the person in front of him.
"It's just a little sluggish, if it's just a chat, I think I can still do it, by the way, you're called Altoris, right?"
"That's right, guest, Altoris is my name."
How so? Qi Wuce, who was still hesitating whether to hide his real name, all his cautious thoughts vanished after that smile that was so pure that it looked like a lily.
"Thank you Artolis, my words... Just call me helpless. ”
After saying this, Qi Wuce suddenly went into a trance for a while, feeling like this world had changed in an instant.
It feels like it comes and goes quickly. Qi Wuce quickly threw this unwarranted feeling behind him.
"Nothing can be done......
Saying the strange name, Artoria felt a little embarrassed. Artoria wasn't one to dwell on unimportant things, so after jotting down the awkward name, she asked Qi Wuce other questions.
"Speaking of which, Qi Wuce, why are you so seriously injured?"
Just as Qi Wuce was about to answer Artoria's question, the door to the room was pushed open by a middle-aged man.
"It just so happens that the question you want to ask is also the question I want to ask, Altoris, can you answer it for me? Young knights. ”
"Ector, why are you here? What about knights? ”
Artoria looked at her adoptive father suspiciously, and then at Qi Wuru, who was lying on the bed and looked harmless because of his pale face.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was called Ektor by Artolis, Qi Wuce's heart was secretly vigilant.
"Artolis, you go out first, I have something to talk to the young knight."
Without refuting Actor's words, Artoria just glanced curiously at her father-in-law, who had an eternally serious expression, and left the room.
With Artoria gone, only Qi Wuce and Ektor were left in the room.
"As you have just heard, my name is Ektor, but what shall I call you? A knight who is so young that people can't believe it. ”
Although the face that didn't look angry and arrogant was a little terrifying, it didn't cause any psychological burden on Qi Wu, and for him, who had been hovering between life and death since he was a child, no one could scare him with his momentum alone.
"Just call me useless, Lord Actor."
"Isn't there anything you can do...... It's a name that's a bit awkward to pronounce. ”
When Ektor mentioned this, Qi Wuce's face darkened suddenly, and the people in the village just thought that his name was too awkward, so they were only willing to call him Sotfis alive and dead.
"About this...... Actually, I also have a name called Sotfold, which was given to me by the person who raised me, and as for the name Qi Wuce, if you really think it is too embarrassing, then take him as my last name. ”
After saying that, Qi Wuce collapsed on the bed, being called a salted fish, at least it was more comfortable than listening to others mispronounce his name.
