Millie, the little girl of the Black Elves, and her mother do not seem to be the natives of the island, they do not even have the unique conch house of the Black Elves, but live in an abandoned Nord hut.

Fortunately, although it is an abandoned house, it is not damaged, otherwise in such a northland, the wind and snow alone would be unbearable.

Millie's mother was lying on a simple wooden bed, covered with a thin blanket that was not too thick, even though her body had become a little thin because she had not woken up for a long time, but she could still see her beautiful face, and Millie had inherited her mother's genes well.

On a table next to it were old ceramic clay pots, which contained some of the food that the innkeeper Sadri used to give to his mother and daughter.

In a bowl that had not yet been washed was a paste from crushed bread, which had cooled and looked a little dry and hard, and it was clear that this was the food Millie usually prepared for her mother in the hospital bed, and it was not easy for a young child to support such a family.

Ciel handed the sleeping little one in his arms to Kathia, and then crouched down and began to check on the black elf woman on the bed.

"What about Millie's father?" Zhang Lin asked Sadri who had brought them here.

Sadri scratched his beard and sighed, "A year ago, their settlement was slaughtered by the Argonians, and few people survived the entire settlement, and Karina took Millie to live here. ”

"Then what happened after that, and why did Millie's mother get sick?"

"After all, the mother and daughter fled here, and they didn't have much savings, and after a few months it would be difficult to support them, I originally invited Karina to help in my shop, although the business on the island is not good, and I can't pay much, but she wants Millie to live a better life, so she has other plans......"

According to Sadri, although Southam Island is not prosperous, because of the various rare minerals, even if it is not suitable for farming, because of the investment of the Eastern Empire Company, many residents can make a living from mining.

However, since an accident in the mine more than 100 years ago, the Eastern Imperial Company closed the mine, and most of the island's inhabitants have been reduced, and now Southam has become very depressed.

"Karina, she was told by a few idle guys in the town to go to the abandoned mine to make a fortune, but in the end she was the only one who came back." Sadri paused and continued, "At first we thought she had been poisoned by the Frost Spider, but it wasn't more than that, even though the poison had been lifted she still couldn't wake up, and it had been almost two months, and if it weren't for the signs of life, we would have thought she was dead.

"Although there is still a faint toxin left in her body, it is not the cause of her unconscious, she may have triggered some taboo, and her soul has been entangled by a dark force, so she has not been able to wake up." After examining Millie's mother, Hill came to this conclusion.

"Can you handle it, then?"

"Are you underestimating me, master?" Hill clasped his hands to his chest, raised his eyebrows and glared at Zhang Lin, "It's wrapped up in me." ”

The pure holy light enveloped the black elf on the hospital bed, and she saw a wisp of black and green entangled breath slowly appear on her forehead, as the holy light approached, the wisp of aura seemed to be consciously trying to dodge, but the holy light gathered from all directions locked all the directions it could leave.

The bright light illuminated the room as if it were day, and the faint candlelight did not even qualify for a confrontation, and the innkeeper, who had seen such a scene for the first time, could not help but open his mouth wide.

Serana was uncomfortable with the light, and pulled up her hood and turned away, but she didn't leave.

Millie's eyelids twitched slightly in Kashia's arms, and she buried her head in the broodling's chest, dodging the intense light.

After a while, a faint mournful hiss sounded, and the dark breath seemed to be ignited, and disappeared in a few seconds.

"That's it, this thing isn't too strong, and strong-willed people won't even be affected much," the corners of Ciel's mouth curled, "and soon she'll be awake." ”

Everyone waited around the bedside, and it didn't take long to see the black elf's fingers on the bed move slightly.

"Me, where is this?"

A hoarse voice rang out, and the unconscious black elf slowly opened her eyes, looking at the people around the bed in some confusion, she wanted to sit up, but her weak limbs were not enough to support her movement.

Hill, who had been maintaining a squatting position, hurriedly helped the black elf sit up on the bed, put the pillow on her back, and then took the water cup from Zhang Lin and handed it over.

"Thank you."

Karina, who had adjusted her posture with the help of Hill, took a sip of hot water, and her sickly face regained some blood.

"Thank goodness Karina, you're awake, you've been in a coma for over a month." The innkeeper was also happy to see the black elf wake up, as a friend of the other party, he really didn't want to see Millie lose her mother at such a young age.

"It's you, Sadri, have I been in a coma for so long?" Karina frowned, but in a blink of an eye she became anxious, "What about Millie?" It's been so long, how is she? ”

"Don't worry, she's fine." Kashia bent down and sent the little girl in her arms over.

The little girl, who had some signs of waking up, also woke up now, and looked at her mother in front of her with a pair of big eyes, as if she thought she was still dreaming, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.

The next moment, she was hugged into her arms, and when she opened it again to see the reality in front of her, tears could not help but welled up again.

"Woo-mom, you're awake, I'm not dreaming, you're finally awake, I thought you didn't want me anymore, woo-"

"I'm sorry, it's my mother...... I'm wrong" Feeling the placket of her clothes that was wet with tears in a while, Karina's eyes also turned red, and she couldn't imagine how much pressure her daughter endured and how much suffering she endured during the time she was in a coma.

"Thank you so much, Millie did something wrong, and you are still willing to help our mother and daughter, I really don't know how to repay you."

After appeasing her daughter, Karina took small bites of the hot porridge provided by Zhang Lin and kept saying words of thanks.

"It's nothing," Zhang Lin smiled, and then said seriously, "It's just that you really shouldn't take risks without thinking about the consequences, after all, Millie still needs you." ”

"It's all my fault, I'll never do anything like this again, I thought it was just a mine, and I didn't expect it to connect to that temple...... And that terrible book......" Karina said with a sigh of relief.

Zhang Lin and Kexia glanced at each other.

"The Dark Sutra."
