Chapter 25: Emma's Decision
Emma was completely stunned, even the monster's blood splashed on her face without realizing it, and for a moment, she brushed shoulders with death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hey, it's okay!"
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard in the distance. Emma turned her head sluggishly and saw that in the distant rain curtain, a man and a woman were slowly walking towards her, and the man's hands were still "crackling" with golden lightning.
Person!
Emma was so happy to see other people of the same kind in such a barren mountain and wilderness that she was almost crying, and her tense body couldn't help but relax, and her legs went limp, and she sat on the cold ground.
As the two approached, Emma finally saw their faces, and she couldn't help but look stunned, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face, for she had never seen such a handsome and beautiful man and woman. The appearance of the man and the woman is very young, the man is tall and straight, with a warm smile like a spring breeze on his face, and the woman is tall and beautiful, but her face is like frost, as if she is losing her temper. Both of them are very brightly dressed and have extraordinary temperaments, just like the nobles described in the book.
Ander and Murphy walked up to Emma, who was still sitting in the cold rain. Ander glanced at the headless monster, the second-level demonic beast black-striped wolf, he kicked away the monster's corpse, and then bent down slightly, facing Emma with a large and broad hand deep in the depths.
"It's all right, little sister. ā
"I ...... I'm fine," Emma said nervously, and the bright red eyes of the other party were like a pair of shiny rubies, and Emma was dizzy. Although Emma didn't know how the other party killed the monster, there was no doubt that the handsome man saved her life.
"Hehe, if it's okay, then stand up. You see, my hands are outstretched, and it's embarrassing for you not to answer me. Ander smiled and playfully moved his five nimble fingers.
"I'm sorry, that'...... I was rude. Emma shyly reached out and was about to grab Ender's hand, but then she suddenly realized that she was an infected person.
As if touching an invisible soldering iron, Emma jerked back her hand with a sad expression on her face. Then, under Ender's surprised gaze, Emma dodged Ender's outstretched hand and stood up on her own.
"Thank you, noble sir, for saving me, but I can't touch you. Emma bent down and bowed gratefully to Ender, then she rolled up the sleeve of her left hand, revealing her arm covered in black lumps. "I'm infected with the plague, I'm an infected. ā
With that, Emma closed her eyes in pain. She thought that the next thing she would hear was a startling or cursing from the other person, and then the other person would run away from her like a ghost. At least they won't hit me, Emma thought to herself, they wouldn't touch this unclean plague body.
However, Emma didn't hear anything, and the person in front of her seemed to have disappeared, and only the overwhelming sound of rain was in her ears. Emma opened her eyes in surprise, and then she was shocked to see the noble young man bent down in front of her, looking curiously at his plague-stained arm.
"Ahh
Ander smiled, "I'm sorry to scare you." ā
Emma looked at the young man in front of her with a look of astonishment, the handsome young man smiled so kindly, and saw that his polluted arm not only did not show the slightest disgust, he seemed... I'm interested. And the big sister next to him kept her face strained, as if she didn't care about the epidemic at all. Emma was confused, there were still such strange people in this world, who were not afraid of epidemics.
"I, I'm infected, aren't you afraid?" asked Emma in surprise.
The big sister finally spoke, and Emma thought her voice was good, but her tone was too cold, like a big snowy mountain towering into the sky on the horizon, arrogant and cold.
"What is there to be afraid of?"
Then Ander said, "Little girl, we are not afraid of the disease, we are doctors, and we are looking for a cure for the disease." ā
"You're doctors!" Emma's face immediately showed a look of ecstasy, but then her face darkened again, and she said in despair. "It's useless, no one can cure this disease. ā
Ander didn't think so, he leaned over to the girl, brought the umbrella in his hand to the girl, blocked the cold rain out, and said with a smile: "If you don't let us try, how do you know that we can't heal?" Ander glanced up at the hut behind him. "It's not convenient here, let's go inside. ā
Emma hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
Walking into the room, Ender's gaze circled around the room, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. There were no windows on the window frames, and the cold wind swished into the house, and there were several large holes in the roof of the shed, the largest of which was the size of a bowl, and the ground was wet and damp, and there was no fire on such a cold day. Not to mention that girls are sick themselves, even good people have to become sick people after living here for a long time.
Finally, Ender's eyes fell on Emma's sister, the poor little girl lying in a wet straw pile, curled up in a ball, shivering.
Ander felt that his heart was pinched hard, he thought that he was not a weak person, but seeing such a little girl lying in such a dilapidated hut without warm clothes and food, Ander couldn't help but be unmoved, and even Murphy, who had been cold-faced, couldn't help but show a little sad look.
"Murphy, make it a little warmer. Ender said.
"Yes, sir. ā
After speaking, Murphy stood still, but the majestic magic had gushed out of her body. "Boom", and then there was a loud sound like ten thousand horses galloping outside the hut. Emma was startled, she went to the window and looked out, and immediately her face changed in astonishment, and she saw that the dirt around the hut seemed to come alive, and they rushed up the walls of the hut like a tide, and "climbed" up the walls quickly, climbed through the windows, climbed over the eaves, and finally covered the entire roof of the hut, blocking all the holes and cracks, leaving only a door, as if a piece of earth armor had been worn on the hut, keeping out all the cold wind and freezing rain.
Then, with a casual flick of his hand, a raging flame immediately ignited in mid-air, and the orange light lit up the gloomy cabin, driving away the cold in the air, and the cabin gradually became warmer.
Emma was dumbfounded, "You! you are noble magicians!"
Ender smiled and nodded.
The girl knelt on the cold ground with a thud, she bowed her head deeply, her forehead slammed into the cold puddle, humble and pitiful: "Please, noble magician, save my sister, she is dying, I am willing to do anything for you, even if I give my life for you!"
Emma's voice was unequivocal, a determination to abandon everything.
Ander couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had no doubt about this girl's determination, even if Ander threw her a knife to die now, Ander believed that she would not hesitate to stab the knife into his chest.
"Stand up, it's cold on the ground. Ender's voice softened, and he turned to look at Murphy. "Murphy, go and take a look. ā
Murphy nodded, she passed by Emma's side, and saw that Emma was still humbly lying on the ground, so she bent down and helped Emma up, although her face was still expressionless, but it was not as cold as just now: "You heard what the adults said, I will cure your sister." ā
Seeing this scene, Ander couldn't help laughing happily, thinking that Murphy's girl is really a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
"Thank you, thank you. Emma exclaimed with joy.
Murphy arrives at his sister Ash, who is already in a deep stupor, unaware of what is happening in the outside world. Ash first stretched out her hand to test Ash's temperature, and then she unbuttoned Ash's clothes, revealing Ash's body, only to see that Ash's chest and stomach were densely covered with black lumps, some of which had been scratched, and black blood was flowing out, and the surrounding skin had begun to fester.
At this time, Ander especially admired Murphy's concentration, she didn't even frown when she saw such a miserable picture, and her face did not change in the slightest, she was like a surgeon who had been practicing medicine for many years, as if she was used to all this.
"Huh?" Murphy observed for a moment, then let out a strange suspicious sound. "No, it's like...... It's not a disease. ā
Ander was taken aback: "It's not an epidemic, so what is it?"
Murphy turned his head, looked at Ander with a serious expression, and spat out two words from his mouth:
"Curse. ā
