Chapter 526: Zoe's Life Story (Page 1/1)

Luckily, that Verium Oni didn't live in the depths of the Sea Forest, and Sherlock flew with Zoe in his arms for less than half an hour before the golden ball flew into a small shipwreck, and it seemed that he had found his destination.

He folded his wings and looked inside the hull for a moment, finding no danger before cautiously following in.

Although it was said that Zoe had asked him, he was still a little worried when he came to an unknown place where an unknown mage lived in it.

It was still dark and dark, except for a faint light in one of the cabins in the depths.

He had barely taken a few steps when a voice came out of it.

"Adventurer, if you continue to drag on like this, if Zoe dies, Fawkes will trouble you, and I won't explain it to her."

can say the names of Zoe and Fawkes so accurately, and know Zoe's current situation, it should be the person he is looking for.

Sherlock's vigilance dropped a little, and he hurried inside.

When he opened the door, a middle-aged man in a white robe was fiddling with the golden ball that flew in first.

"Hello, Elder, do you know anything about Zoe's situation, she asked me to ask for your help before she fell unconscious." He said respectfully.

"Put her on the bed, will?" The man frowned and said, "And don't call me Elder, this title always reminds me of my days in Lesselman." ”

"I'm sorry."

The elder is the common people of Lesserman who use it exclusively to call those who serve witches, and although it is not explicitly stated in the "Witch's Diaries", it can be felt between the lines, and the author obviously does not like this title very much, just like the man in front of him.

"My name is Philida, and as you know, a Verimoni." The man introduced himself.

Then he took out a red bottle of potion from a huge potions cabinet behind him and fed it to Zoe's mouth.

"Philippa......, Philippa Spole?" Sherlock guessed uncertainly.

"Oh?"

Hearing him say the surname Spole, the other party was obviously surprised: "Did Zoe mention me to you?" ”

"No, but I've read your book "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms." Sherlock said in surprise: "The introduction of mushrooms in it is so detailed, have you really been to the dark region?" ”

"Oh, that book, I didn't expect it to be circulating outside." Philida unconsciously showed a smile and said modestly: "I did follow a Drow to visit the mushroom people in the dark region, and this knowledge was all learned from their mouths, I just sorted it out and recorded it, and it is not worth mentioning. ”

It's not worth mentioning, but the expression and the tone that suddenly became kind seem to be very useful.

There's no one who doesn't like to be recognized and complimented by others, and for a non-combat NPC, it's definitely more effective to praise their books than to praise them personally.

Just those two sentences just now, Sherlock dared to pack the ticket, and the other party's favorability with him increased by at least one level.

As soon as this favorability came up, there was the common topic of herbology and the mutual friend of Zoe, and the two immediately became acquainted.

In the continuous communication, he also gradually learned about Zoe's background and the reason for the abnormality of her body.

It was about thirteen years ago, when a skirmish broke out between Agolaron and Serre, and because of the nominal armistice, the Pastoral Mage and the Red Robe Mage, as the high-end combat forces of their respective countries, became the protagonists of this conflict.

At the height of the struggle, the red-robed mages inadvertently, or rather unleashed a terrible plague that directly turned the border city of Gorlada into a dead city, and the epidemic was likely to spread further.

At this juncture, a mysterious mage appears, and he finds the Potions Potions Doctors and his wife, and the herbalist Philida, who is on the run from the Witch of Lesserman.

With the joint efforts of the four of them, it took only six days to develop an antidote and successfully stop the spread of the plague.

However, in the process of researching, the Bensons accidentally contracted the plague, and the mysterious mage and Philida tried their best to save it, but they still couldn't stop fate from making people.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Benson died, but their unborn child, Zoe, who was still in her mother's womb at the time, miraculously survived.

Affected by the plague, Zoe was weak from birth and survived on potions until the age of three.

Until they meet Phoenix Fawkes, the mysterious mage pays for his own freedom to get Fawkes to promise him to protect Zoe for the rest of his life.

Then through a special contract, Zoe finally had the life of a normal person.

"After that, I entrusted Zoe to a forest mage, and I went to all parts of Faeron to find a way to completely expel the virus from the other party's body."

"It's been ten years, and I didn't expect that the little girl who would only sleep on my back has become such a beautiful little girl."

Filida looked at Zoe on the bed, her expression full of concern and guilt.

"Thank you for the compliment." A weak voice suddenly rang out.

As soon as Sherlock looked up, he saw that Zoe had opened his eyes, and said with a little crying and laughing, "You don't let go of this kind of thing." ”

"Hee-hee, I don't know if there will be a next time, of course I can't let it go easily......" As she spoke, Zoe's smile gradually stiffened, and two tears were already rolling in her eyes.

After all, he was only a thirteen-year-old child, how could he really endure so much pain.

The stronger you are, the harder it is to heal the sadness in your heart.

Sherlock has also never seen his parents since he was a child, so he can probably understand each other's feelings at this time.

It's not that I have much affection for those two people I have never met, it's just that I feel my fate, as if I have been abandoned by the whole world.

"Wow, why is such a beautiful little girl crying?"

"I can't stand it, the pretty little girl looks so good when she cries."

"But if you cry on your face, you will no longer be the first beautiful girl in the whole of Faerun."

At this time, general persuasion is useless, it will only exacerbate the sadness in the other party's heart, but praise will be more effective.

Because compliments are always pleasant, even when they are sad, even if they are completely untechnical.

"Poof!" Zoe couldn't help but laugh as soon as her tears flowed, "No, the mermaid princess is much better looking than me." ”

"How old are the mermaid princesses, how can we Yiyi be cute."

"Your beauty is even ashamed of Shannie's red hair covering her face when she sees it."
