Chapter 5 Invitations
In the church's lounge, Biancole lay nervously on a bench. Ella is examining her body, which, according to the mercenaries, is "probing the flow of drugs". Even if Bianco's basic communication didn't have any barriers, she couldn't figure out what Ella was doing, who didn't know anything about it.
But Kyild told her to lie down in peace, and she did so. But Biancole had learned very well how to be a little petty without crossing the line—so she was now lying on Kryd's lap instead of on a hard chair surface.
It didn't take long for Ella to sweep Bianko's body up and down with a blue ball of light, and then she hummed a little tune with a relaxed face.
"It's not serious, don't worry." She smiled and said to Bianco, "Or rather, it's no worse than a minor cold—your guys lock it down very well, and it's like a church trick." ”
Kyild nodded, and he said in a slow tone, "The healers in the Demon King's Palace have learned some unconventional ways to deal with accidents in the church. ”
He gently kneaded Bianko's palm, trying to relax her. Biancole winked at him pitifully, and Kyalde believed that the moment he allowed her to get up, Biancole would tumble and flee from the bench.
However, she can't be blamed for this, they just had a battle a few hours ago, and the other party is still a mercenary from the Goddess Continent. Even with Figilio's guarantee, it was clear that Figilio, who had almost lost his credit, could not be trusted by Bianco.
"It's okay, Biya, I'm here." Kyild gently stroked Bianko's cheek, "Hold on to me if you're afraid, and if you feel dangerous, call for a halt at any time, and I'll help you." ”
The dark-haired girl took a light breath, she nodded, and her nervous gaze fell on Ella, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Looks like it's been discussed?" The older woman wasn't in the slightest bit displeased by Bianko's distrust, "Don't worry, I'm good at this, we've cleaned up some unpleasant things before." I'll tell you up front that most people feel repulsed, but that's within their reach. If you don't feel well, don't be afraid just now and feel it slowly. But...... Honestly, there is so little medicine left in your body that I suspect you won't feel any discomfort. ”
Ella winked playfully at Bianco, who had been briefed on the way to the room. Compared to the situation when they helped Hua Shao remove the toxins, now they have no blood connection with Bianko, and the substances in the girl's body are not so difficult to deal with, so they don't need to use their own blood to help her figure it out.
"But then again, what was going on at the time?" Ella sat down on the edge of the bench, set her cigarette stick aside, and gently lifted Bianko's arm, "It's rare to eat such a small amount." ”
She squeezed the back of Bianko's hand, seemingly nonchalantly, and the girl only watched her movements for a moment before turning her gaze to Ella's face.
"As soon as I ate it, the young master made me vomit."
Bianco's grip on Kyird's hand unconsciously relaxed, and at that moment, Ella's fingers pressed the back of her hand slightly. For a split second he felt his hand clenched vigorously, and Bianko gasped, but she didn't move, just stared down at her hand.
"What a good boy." Ella smiled and touched her face, "Does it hurt?" ”
When her hand was removed from Bianko's arm, the others could see that a needle with a small socket had been inserted into the back of her hand, and that Ella's hand had an extra rubber hose that was only 10 cm long.
"It's fine." Bianko replied quietly, "Yes...... Taken aback. ”
"Haven't had an injection before? I've heard that this is really not very popular on the Demon King Continent. Ella attached the hose to the connector at the end of the needle, "Actually, the mercenaries weren't familiar with it before...... That's what we learned from Murphy. ”
Ella pulled out a small bottle of clear liquid, uncorked the bottle, and whispered something that no one else could understand. The cigarette stick beside her transformed into a short staff as she lifted it, and she gently waved the rod from side to side, and the liquid in the bottle formed a thin stream, sliding out of the mouth of the bottle in a beautiful arc and into the hose.
"There are a lot of things that the family members pay attention to when they do this." Ella wielded her staff like a conductor, and the liquid slowly entered Bianko's body, which made the girl feel a chill from the back of her hand to her body, "They don't use magic, so they need to pay more attention to the environment." But we're different—whatever we're worried about, all we need is a barrier spell to get rid of all the dirt that shouldn't be. ”
"Dirty?" Despite being intimidated by the unfamiliar in front of her, Bianko asked curiously, "What dirty?" ”
"The air is not as clean as you see." Kyild answered her question, "The air is full of germs, and germs make people sick - normal breathing is fine, don't stop breathing because of that, silly girl." It's just that if they go directly into the body through the bloodstream, it will have very serious consequences for you. ”
Biancole blinked, expressing her condemnation with her eyes. She didn't notice that Ella stared at her inquiringly for a few seconds, and by the time she returned her attention to her hand, Ella had already turned her gaze back to the liquid.
"They go through your veins and into your body, taking away those annoying drug residues." Ella briefly explained to Bianko, then shifted the subject in a different direction, "According to Ranorda's previous statement, was this pill forced to be taken by someone else?" Your husband wasn't around at that time? ”
"Hmm......" Bianko's mood dropped significantly, "the man said that the medicine can help me become stronger very quickly, and it can help others......"
"Did you know him before?" Ella placed her hand on Bianko's wrist, her fingers resting on Bianko's veins, as if sensing the flow of fluid, "He must have your deep trust." ”
The coolness of the liquid flowed through every corner of her body, giving Bianko a subtle feeling of soreness, but as Ella said, within the limits of what she could bear. Ella's words made her feel a little frightened, and her body trembled slightly. To her relief, Kyild immediately sensed her panic, and he gently stroked her cheek, his warmth slowly calming her flustered heart.
“…… He said, he won't hurt me......" she said softly, "The man said that even though we hadn't met before, he was still my father, so he wouldn't hurt me......"
Ella looked a little surprised, and Bianco's face puffed up, reluctantly turning her gaze elsewhere.
"I didn't think of him as a father, so he didn't look like him." "But I don't know why, I feel like my head is full of confusion, and I think what he said makes sense...... After the young master came, he felt that his head was sober for a moment. Although Figgy is always angry compared to that person, Figgy is more like a father. ”
Figilio, who was talking to Smofa on the sidelines, did not miss Bianco's words, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and even Smofa, who had met him for the first time, could see his obvious joy. But he consciously did not step forward to interfere with the mercenary's actions, but just looked at Bianko dotingly.
"Well......," Ella pondered, propping her chin up, "maybe he's using some dastardly tricks to confuse your mind when he speaks—it's one of Roses's common tactics." You haven't been trained or anything, have you? People who have trained their mental powers are able to resist this, but for most people, it's not easy to do, and they will make you feel like it's your own thoughts. But I guess you resisted anyway, or you'd have swallowed that pill while putting it in your mouth. ”
“…… Well. Bianko didn't look very happy, "But I've still caused trouble for the young master......"
Kyild curled his finger and tapped Bianko's forehead, causing the girl to quickly shut her mouth.
"I warned you, Biankop." "If you say such things again," said Kyild, "until you don't think like that again." ”
"Oh!" Biancol glared at him in annoyance, "Not this time!" I don't usually say it. ”
But Kylde did not accept her reason, and gave her a very shallow smirk.
"Since you can still say it, it means that you still have this in your head." He said lightly, "It's okay, I'm not going to do anything to you in front of anyone else - anyway, you're a big kid too, and I have to save some face for you." ”
"I'm not a child!"
Bianko's protest was not met with the slightest seriousness, and she pouted in displeasure and slapped Kyalde's hand aside.
"Alright." Ella's relaxed voice came over at this point, "That's the end of it." ”
When Ella pulled the needle out of her hand, Biancole sat up neatly. She watched in amazement as the needle in her hand disappeared from the back of her hand in the blink of an eye, and she flipped her wrist back and forth without feeling any discomfort.
Figilio used his powers to examine Bianko's body, and finally confirmed that there was no longer anything in her body that was not hers. Ella just smiled and looked at the changed cigarette stick, not worried about what would happen to her job.
"Thank you very much." Kyild bowed earnestly to Ella, "It's really, really important to us. ”
"I understand." The cigarette stick in Ella's hand shook up and down little by little, "But, since we've shown kindness on our side, would you like to cooperate with us?" ”
A silver-gray magic circle appeared behind Ella, and she took a few steps back happily.
"We're going back to Molfi next." She explained to the people of the Demon King Continent, "Actually, I very much hope that you will come with us. I believe you didn't just come to the Goddess Continent to do it alone, right? We'll be waiting for you over there. ”
Rhines and Aphaya walked into the magic circle after she finished speaking, and Ella waved at them and walked in. The figures of the three people disappeared into the magic array one after another, and the people of the Demon King Continent glanced at each other, and they found the doubt in each other's eyes, as well as helplessness.
"Do we have any other choice?" Wokan shrugged, "Come on, at least Figilio can give us the bottom." ”
Figilio rolled his eyes, but he acquiesced to Wokan's statement and joined the four of them in the magic circle.
