Chapter 17: A Familiar and Strange Father

At this time, Mueller glanced at the fallen python next to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a look of surprise:

"Alain, did you kill this big snake, did you get the favor of the Lord and awaken the elemental power in the crisis?!"

Alain shook his head when he heard this, and told him about the encounter with the mysterious old man.

"Father, do you know who that person is, why is he obviously not from our Vongus family, but he also has elemental power?"

Mueller was more concerned about inheritance than the identity of the mysterious man, and seeing Alain shake his head and give a negative answer, the last bit of hope in his heart was completely extinguished.

"Sure enough, I don't have any other paths?"

At this moment, Müller seemed to have made some kind of decision, he looked at Alain and said:

"I don't know who saved you, maybe only the omniscient Lord knows all this.

Okay, don't think too much, let's go home. ”

Although Alan was a little surprised by his father's indifference to this matter, he still nodded obediently.

This time he caused a big mess, and his father didn't reprimand him as harshly as usual, and he was already glad that he was glad.

In this way, Alain flew all the way home under the guidance of Müller.

The mother was overjoyed to see that Alain was safe and sound, and took him in her arms.

However, a harsh reprimand followed.

"Alain, you were so playful that you ran into the mushroom forest, and I was almost scared to death when I heard that you were being chased by snakes, you know.

You're so unreassuring, I won't give you a chance to run around in the future. ”

In the face of his mother's reprimand, Alain could only promise to say yes, but fortunately, Mueller, who was his father, helped him out of the siege.

"Don't be harsh on him, I've already reprimanded him all the way back."

"When I encountered a python in the front, the three children must have been frightened, and I cooked a little broth to drink a bowl of soup to suppress the shock.

Alain, all three of you come here. ”

When Alain heard this, he picked up a pair of younger siblings and came to Muller's side in a good way.

At this time, Müller handed the stone bowl in his hand to the three people, and said in an unusually soft voice:

"Quick, drink the soup while it's hot."

As Alain took the bowl, he frowned unconsciously, and a pungent stench instantly rushed into his nostrils.

He glanced at the soup in the bowl that had almost solidified into black jelly, and then at Muller in front of him, he didn't know how the other party had made the broth look like this.

Compared with him who is about to become an adult, his younger siblings who don't understand anything in their childhood speak more bluntly.

"It stinks, I don't want to drink it."

"It stinks to death, it smells bad, and you can't drink it!"

At this time, the expression on Müller's face on the side became a little unnatural, but he still opened his mouth to persuade:

"Good, this is made by Dad himself for you, it's delicious."

Despite Mueller's persuasion, the two children could manage so much, and they were never willing to cooperate.

Seeing this, the mother on the side couldn't help but persuade:

"Muller, if they don't want to drink, forget it, we don't have food at home, so why force them to eat something they don't like."

His mother's words were like stepping on Müller's tail, and he suddenly shouted in anger:

"You don't understand anything, do you think I'm trying to force them?

They are my children, the heirs of the Vongers family, destined to endure things that no ordinary person has ever experienced.

You don't have to worry about the internal affairs of the family, come here, hold the two of them for me. ”

So saying, the guards outside the cave entered, and they held down his youngest son and daughter, as Müller had commanded.

Mueller then picked up the bowl with the broth and began to force it into the child's mouth.

Alain, who was on the side, looked at Mueller's actions and the cold and hard expression on his face, and a sense of strangeness rose from the bottom of his heart.

For a while, he was a little skeptical that the person in front of him was his father.

After a while, the two bowls of broth were fed, and the two children kept crying, not knowing whether they were too scared or the soup was too unpalatable.

On the other hand, Müller did not pay attention to the weeping children, he went straight to Alain's side, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Alain, you are all my children, you must understand that I, as a father, will not mean to harm you."

Looking at Muller, whose eyes were shining with tears, Alain's heart suddenly softened.

He knew that this was the father who loved his community and his family so much.

"Well, I know what to do."

With that, Müller took the bowl and drank the rancid aspic and soup inside.

…………

Three days later, Alain fell ill, and he was very sick.

He felt that his internal organs were being eaten by insects, and there was not a single part of his body that was not in pain, and he felt that he was not far from death.

Thinking back to the strange-tasting bowl of broth he had drunk three days earlier, he felt that his illness had something to do with it.

However, looking at Muller, who was guarding the bedside day and night, describing himself as more and more haggard, he really couldn't bear to blame the other party.

"Forget it, maybe this is fate, I am destined to return to the arms of the Lord at this age, and I can't blame anyone else."

Although his life was in danger, Alan had already thought about it completely at this time.

However, the world is impermanent, and everything in the world often does not develop according to the individual's ideas.

Just when Alain himself had already given up, his illness was miraculously cured quickly.

At the same time, he felt a force appear in his body.

I saw that he opened his palm, and a ball of water began to gather and expand in his hand.

"Lord bless my Vongus family, Alain, it's great that you have finally awakened your elemental power!"

Muller, who had been guarding the side, saw this scene and said with surprise on his face.

Elemental power is the hallmark of a member of the family of gods, something Alain has dreamed of since he was a child.

However, experiencing the line between life and death has given him more insight into life.

Compared to the external object of elemental power, he now cares more about his relatives.

Scattering the surrounding water elementals casually, Alan asked with concern:

"Father, how are the younger brothers and sisters, are the two of them okay?"

"Oh, the two of them are much better, but your younger siblings are young after all, and they are not recovering as quickly as you, I have already arranged for someone to take care of them alone, don't worry."

Mueller didn't say much on the subject, he grabbed Alain's shoulders and said excitedly:

"Child, your awakening of elemental power is a great joy for our Fengus family, which shows that the Lord is still watching over us, and our family of gods will continue for generations."

"Your grandfather once told me that the manifestation of divinity is not only from external forces, but also through wisdom and experience.

Next, I will pass on to you everything I have, just as your grandfather taught me. ”
