Chapter 218: Deadline
"Something went wrong, but it's all right, Aransale, I'm just reading this book to confirm my physical condition, not to try to treat myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
Aransell stared at him for a moment, then sighed softly.
"Okay, but if there's anything you need to tell me."
"Hmm."
"Then I took the book."
"Huh?"
Without waiting for Gurgbardo to say anything, Aransail walked out of the house with the book. Gulba gave a wry smile that was slightly stiff and shook his head, ready to continue his research.
Suddenly, he saw that there was an extra cup of steaming coffee on the table, which must have been brought by the boy from Aransale......
"Mr. Gurba, I would like to make a pact with you that you are a wizard and I will not tell anyone until I die, so please let me stay here and serve you. There is really nowhere to go out of here. What I hate most is loneliness......"
The words of the childish boy still remain deeply in Gulba's heart.
Just when Aransail was almost certain that Gulba had a severe myocardial infarction, Gulba fainted in his room for the first time.
Aransail hurriedly took him to the infirmary in Ironclad City to seek treatment, but the doctor didn't have a good way, and finally went to the church to spend a lot of money to let the saint cast a healing spell to barely save a life.
"Listen, Aransale, 10 days from now will be the most important time of my life, and it will be a matter of whether or not I will succeed in concluding the research I have devoted my life to.
So, except for helping me make up for the materials I requested, don't say anything superfluous, I know my physical condition better than anyone else, I will survive these 10 days, as long as I survive these 10 days, what happens after that will no longer matter to me. ”
After leaving Aransail with these meaningful words, Gulba dived into the underground research room, where the lights in the windows were never extinguished, day or night.
Aransel had a very bad premonition, but he couldn't stop Gulba more.
For six years, he had never asked what Gurba was studying, but he was sure that it was a great study of special significance.
In his previous life, there was only one thing he really understood, that is, if a person did the same thing for decades, he would eventually wear through the water.
In fact, if it weren't for that, people wouldn't have survived. In addition to praying for the successful conclusion of Gulba's research, all Aransail could do was wait quietly.
Aransell rummaged through the boxes in his room, and under his clothes was a snakeskin money bag with a gold Apollo coin and a dozen silver Bainashi coins.
Aransail took out the money bag and put it in his arms, and went to the warehouse to put all the coffee beans picked in advance into the sack, and prepared to go to the foot of the mountain to make a carriage to the Iron City.
The increasing quantity and quality of the materials demanded by Gurba was a huge drain, and the money that Gurba had left him was no longer enough.
In fact, since a year ago, Gulba has been unable to pay Aransale's salary, and he has been depleting his savings.
Instead of asking him for a salary, Aransell planted some coffee trees in his backyard from the seeds of coffee trees he bought by chance at the plant market, and made money selling coffee beans to Zack.
This time, Aransail plans to use all his savings to buy enough materials for Gulba.
Although it was hard-earned money, Aransell didn't feel sorry at all.
He has a heartfelt admiration for people like Gurba who can stand up for their beliefs and are willing to gamble their lives to give everything.
In Aransale's opinion, there is nothing more proud of him than being a part of this kind of story.
Moreover, even putting aside these factors, the past 6 years of getting along day and night have made Aransail regard Gulba as his family.
However, as soon as Aransell knocked on the door of the material store, he found Zach and Loreso arguing fiercely.
"Don't insult my Jack like that!"
"He's a shit bastard! Which eye the fuck are you blind?! ”
"Phew, he's so much better than a coward like you! What will you be? You'll be bragging about your past! Jack is a brave man who keeps his word! It's a world away from a flamboyant guy like you! ”
"Am I flamboyant? Is he a real man? Oh God, it seems that you are really blind, is he coaxing you with clever words, huh? Pick up something you like to hear?
I'll his real man! What real man in the world would persuade his girlfriend to be a maid for a noble lord! Less gold on yourself! What's in your head! Rancid paste?
Loreso, you stupid girl, I never owe you a day's salary, but what about him?! It's only been a month, a month, and he's cheated you out of all your savings without spending a penny, and now he's fucking asking you to sign that damn deed of sale!
But you're still speaking for him! You tell me, my uncle and aunt gave birth to you just so that you can live that kind of lowly future and a bleak life! ”
Zack's roar almost pierced the roof, but Loresso didn't say anything more.
She trembled all over, her beautiful eyes showed an extremely sad look, and she gritted her teeth hard, trying her best not to let the tears fall.
She whispered, "Yes, lowly, miserable, everything has been decided from birth. Anyway, no matter how I live, I can't escape that kind of ending, so why should I swallow my anger and listen to you? You just treat me as a stupid girl, you don't have to worry about me! Good bye! ”
Aransel silently watched Loreso rush out the door, and he saw Loreso glance at him, but that glance was full of desolation that made Aransale's heart blocked.
Loreso running on the street, she is more mature and moving than 6 years ago, her clothes are more colorful, and her makeup is thicker, but no matter how beautiful her appearance is, she can't hide the immaturity and hesitation revealed in her back.
"Hey."
"Hey dude, you haven't been here in a long time."
The two greeted each other, and Zach looked a little tired, sat down in his chair in despair, and lit himself a cigarette.
"You shouldn't be talking loudly to girls. Even if you're right. ”
Zach waved his hand, "You're right, but I'm not you." ”
Aransell smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just hope you and Loresor get along." I've been thinking for a long time that you two are a good match. ”
Zach took a deep puff of his cigarette and smiled a little tiredly, "If I had gotten married earlier, I guess my daughters would have been about the same age as her." I don't have that kind of affection for Loreso, I guess it's the feeling of being close to my sister. ”
