Three days later.
Le Lin took the large bowl of hot black liquid, and there was an indescribable bitter taste on it, which was a disgusting taste. Le Lin tilted her head far to the side in disgust, and said suspiciously: "Why does your medicine smell worse and worse the more you make it? I have no stomach before I put it in my mouth, how can I eat this?"
The druid smiled and took out a thumb-sized ice crystal and said, "It doesn't matter, you won't feel the bitterness with the sugar water." My kind of sugar is still specially refined, which does not hurt the medicinal properties and has a strong sweetness, which can dilute the bitterness of the medicine. After saying that, he put the ice crystal-shaped "sugar" in it and stirred it a few times with the small wooden stick called "chopsticks".
"Drink. He said with a strange smile on his face, "If you drink it in one gulp, you won't feel anything." ”
Le Lin took the bowl and asked reluctantly, "Won't the medicinal properties be wrong again this time?" Last time, you said that you had a pulse in half an hour, but you came back again and again all day! I didn't even sleep all night because I kept coming and going in the middle of the night!"
The druid smiled unhurriedly and said, "This curse has tormented you for several years, why are you afraid of this little trouble now? To cure your illness, you must find out what changes different medicines will cause in people's bodies, and I have been trying to figure out these all day, only in this way can I find a way to get rid of the curse as soon as possible." ”
Le Lin said anxiously: "Then what if your medicine has always been wrong? How many times do I have to take such a?"
"No!" said the druid with certainty, "I have a total of six medicines, at least one of which will cure you, and the worst case is to take the wrong medicine five times in a row." You've already eaten it twice, so don't worry about eating it a few more times. ”
Le Lin sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of taking medicine, I just hope that the curse will leave me as soon as possible." But your medicine always fails, and I feel bad. ”
The druid urged, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely right, you'll find the right one by drinking the wrong medicine three more times." Besides, isn't there a god blessing you? Drink it quickly, and maybe you will succeed this time. Remember, drink it all in one sitting!
Le Lin was helpless, and endured the indescribable bitter smell and went straight through her mouth.
As soon as the medicine was swallowed, an extremely strong bitter taste mixed with an indescribable fishy smell slammed into the entire brain! Le Lin was so uncomfortable that she almost squirted out in one gulp! No wonder this druid repeatedly insisted that she should drink it in one go, it turned out that this medicine was not drunk by people in the first place! The sweet taste of the "sugar" did not ease the uncomfortable breath, but mixed with the bitter taste, forming a strange taste, which made it even more difficult for people to swallow.
"Don't stop!" the druid exclaimed, fearing that she would give up halfway: "This medicine is very troublesome to refine, and if you don't drink it, it won't work!
Le Lin stuffed her head, gritted her teeth and finished pouring the medicine, and immediately shouted: "Sugar! Is there still sugar? I have to run out of tongue!" Seeing that the druid took out another piece of ice crystal-like "candy" of the same size, she immediately snatched it and stuffed it into her mouth, slightly relieving some of the bitter smell of gagging feelings.
"You still say that you can't feel anything?" Le Lin complained loudly and unceremoniously: "This kind of medicine can almost drive away all the zombies! If I wasn't afraid to drink it a second time, I would definitely vomit them all!"
Strange to say, the druids were very tolerant of a "bad-tempered" slave girl like her, and completely ignored her repeated rude words and deeds. He seems to be far more interested in the effects of drugs than in preserving his own dignity.
Soon the power of the drug began to kick in.
Le Lin said nervously: "The heel emits a kind of heat and goes directly to the leg, and it is almost to the waist." ”
"Really?" the druid was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Very good! It seems that this time it may be right! You lie down on the bed, I will cast a spell to assist the power of the drug!"
He stood in the open space of the room next to the bed, and began to chant a mantra to Lelin, who was lying down, it was a very strange language, each syllable was quite complex, and sometimes the tone of a syllable had to be turned. At the same time, he began to take a special kind of footwork, which was very large and regular, like a kind of battle dance. However, the pace of the steps is very slow, and each step is very steady, as if it is bearing some force. His eyes were closed, and he shook his head slightly, as if he had entered a state of concentration and trance.
The runes on the four walls emanated four strong spell aura, and the druid suddenly let out a loud shout, and his whole body exuded extremely strong spell fluctuations. Even more so than the priests of Casca!!, Leylin, still in amazement, saw the druid raise his right hand. Shaped like a swirling cloud and as large as a wheel, the blue streamer immediately formed around the palm, and it rotated slowly, and several mist-like blue lights swirled and swirled, as if absorbing the power of heaven and earth. And the druid's palms began to emit dozens of purple electric sparks, flickering and crackling in the air. The sound of his incantation grew louder and louder, and the tone of his reprimand voice sounded like that of a battle-hardened general ordering his subordinates. The swirling cloud-like mist of bright blue light snapped into his palm, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dazzling blue spot the size of a thumb, clinging tightly to his palm, as if it were a blue flash from his palm.
He pressed the hand on Le Lin's head, and suddenly shouted "Heh!", and the sound shook the whole room slightly!
Le Lin only felt that a thunderbolt pierced her, from the top of her head to the center of her feet!
A very soft and warm sensation rises in the heels and quickly spreads to every part of the body, immersing yourself in a feeling of peace and warmth that you have never encountered before.
If Lelin was human, then she immediately knew that this was what it was like to lie in her mother's arms as a baby.
But Lelin is not human, she is the product of the union of male human and female drow, there is no earth-shattering or poignant love story here, only naked sensuality and oppression. She hadn't seen her father since the day she was born. Everyone told her that she was a hybrid of a human and a drow, or a mongrel, and her mother never cared for her, and the cold, damp stone bed was the only memory of her childhood. Mother only represents hypocritical and oppressive power.
At this moment, she was immersed in this strange feeling that she had never encountered before, and slowly forgot about her tiredness.
The next day at noon.
The druid ended with a smile on his face and said, "Very good! Your curse has been removed." Hahahaha-ahha-"
He kept laughing, and seemed to be happier than Lelin next to him.
Is the pain over?, an indescribable excitement enveloped Lelin. She covered her face and sobbed quietly.
Is more than two years of pain and humiliation finally over once and for all?
I'm free!
She shouted in her heart the praises of the great and merciful Eliestria. This must be God's reward for His perseverance!
In an instant, her belief in Elise Emerald became extremely strong!
I am willing to dedicate my will to you!
That's the greatest meaning of my life!
She prayed in her heart repeatedly.
The druid just sat quietly next to her, and when she was steady, he said, "I have to study the medicine seriously on the third floor for the past two days, and it may not come out for a few days." If there's nothing serious, don't bother me. As he spoke, he took out two keys and handed them to Le Lin: "This is the key to the door on the second floor and the key to the dried meat storage room, your body is really starting to recover now, and you need to eat more meat." In the days when I don't come out, you go to the dried meat pantry and get some meat to eat. ”
Le Lin took the key and asked suspiciously: "If I don't go to the third floor to disturb" you, then how can I give you the prepared food?"
"I don't have to eat these days. The druid said casually, "Remember, don't bother me about anything very important!" and I won't hear you knock on the door. As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized piece of parchment with a large rune characteristic of a secret druid, and continued: "If there is something very important, you burn this rune, and I will naturally come out." ”
The four-story stone fort they lived in had a spiral staircase to go up and down, and each floor had a large door at the top of the staircase, which opened to see the walkway on the floor and the large and small rooms on both sides. The druid walked to the door on the third floor, took out a wooden sign and hung it on the door, with two lines written on it in lingua franca: "Work is heavy, idlers are not allowed to enter" and "I am dormant and burn paper"
Then he turned around again and solemnly explained to Le Lin: "Don't break in, I can't control if something happens." Then he went in and closed the door.
In the early morning of the third day, the clouds in the sky finally cleared completely, and the bright blue sky was covered with a dazzling golden light that covered the endless gray stone wilderness.
Lelin stood in a fighting posture in the large open space under the stone castle, wielding a wooden stick trimmed from branches in each hand. Her body has recovered a lot, the obstacles of her muscles and bones are completely gone, and now she is eager to restore her martial arts.
In the past two days, she not only let go of her belly to eat and drink, but also exercised herself with very strict methods, and she was half tired to death every day. In this way, the physical strength and agility recovered quite quickly, and although the body was still very thin, many unfamiliar martial arts had been basically recalled.
"Maybe I should go. She thought to herself, "I'm not a slave, I'm a warrior of Elisetra, I'm a warrior who stands for the freedom of the Drows! ”
However, she also knew that it was almost impossible to "come back", and once she did leave here, she would go to find Elistra's followers and fight with them for a long and hard fight against Fimulica's minions, and would probably die in another battle. But the dignity of being a warrior and the humiliating experience of more than two years made it difficult for her to be a "slave girl" with peace of mind, and she lived in this remote rocky wilderness all her life.
She stopped practicing and made up her mind while taking a deep breath: "When your body recovers, leave a letter and quietly leave here." ”
Footsteps were heard at the exit of the stone castle, and the tall, burly figure of the druid appeared in the doorway.
A majestic aura emanated from him, as if a strong lion patrolling the territory was arrogant and domineering the beasts. Very different temperament from the previous two days!
What's even more amazing is that a faint prismatic blue light is radiating around his pupils, and it is still slowly rotating in front and back, as if it hides the vast and mysterious power of the stars.
Le Lin was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to take a closer look, he had already walked under the sun, and the blue light in his eyes disappeared.
"Your body is recovering pretty quickly. He sincerely admired: "Come with me to the city, the days with me will be long in the future, first get to know everyone in the city." As he spoke, he handed over a small box and said, "Take this well, it contains the pills for Baron Haril." It took me a long time to refine it, so don't fall to the ground. ”
Le Lin pursed her lips, she was very uncomfortable with the other party calling her as a servant, but now her body has not fully recovered, and she has to bow her head under the eaves. He took the box and followed the druid towards the foot of the hill to the town of Hamonville.
As the two walked through the town, the guards and people passing by bowed respectfully to make way for them. Lelin found that the eyes of these people were full of gratitude, and the guards of the baron's "little castle" greeted them respectfully, bowed to the druids, and then led them into the "castle". It seems that the status of this druid here is equivalent to that of the High Priest of the Queen of God in Casca. It's just that he is revered, and the queen of gods is revered.
But there are also unpleasant things that happen.
As they were about to enter the castle, several of the guards guarding the castle gathered behind them and whispered and laughed.
"Is that the half-elf slave girl that the master bought? I heard that it was Somur and the two of them who carried this woman back that day, and they must have rubbed a lot of oil, I guess they died of it, hahahaha. ”
Indeed, although Le Lin is thin now, her brown skin is smooth and elastic, revealing the vitality of youth everywhere, her facial features are beautiful and exudes heroism, her thin eyebrows are like smooth water, her nose is like a beautiful peak, and her beautiful eyes are full of heroic looks. I don't know how many times more beautiful than this poor country woman!
"Cool fart," said the person next to her, "I heard that when I bought her, she was as thin as a skeleton, and there were layers of black dead skin on her body that fell straight down, and even the smell was like a dead corpse! It made the two of them disgusting! After they came back, they took three showers before falling asleep, and they couldn't even eat for the next two days!"
"That's in the past, I didn't see it anyway, as long as it's pretty now. I don't know if the master 'fucked' her? I heard that the drows are very lewd! Hahahaha," they chuckled quietly.
Lelin glared at them viciously, which caused another lewd laugh.
The inside of the castle was crowded, and the narrow walkway could only pass one person, and several people walked inside making loud footsteps. The light in the corridor is also very dim, and from time to time there are gusts of cold wind blowing behind her, making Le Lin feel as if she has returned to the damp and dull underground world.
Suddenly, she heard a strange moan, but she couldn't hear it very clearly because her body had not yet fully recovered, and her senses were not as functional as before. When she reached the second floor, the voice became clearer and clearer, and when she heard it closely, it sounded like the groans of a man and a woman in intercourse! She was about to be full of suspicion, when the soldier who led the way had led them to a simple door and said, "The baron is inside." With that, he opened the door and invited the druid in.
The room is spacious and bright, with several large glass windows on the opposite side letting in the bright sunlight and giving the quaint room a warm golden glow. On the right side of the room is a large bookshelf full of books, and on the left is a large floor-to-ceiling painting depicting a battle scene. In the middle of the room was a small round table with low hair, and a frail old man with silver hair was lying on a rocking chair next to him, enjoying the beautiful morning sunshine.
"Master, you're finally here. The old baron smiled, took the initiative to stand up, came over and hugged the druid, he was very happy to pat the druid on the shoulder twice and said, "I haven't seen you for almost a month, you don't come, I don't even have anyone to talk to." He looked at Lelin again, and said to the druid with a smile: "This is your newly bought slave girl, she looks very good, give her more meat to gain weight, she must be more beautiful than the high-class dancers in Wilvach City." Hahaha"
Both of them burst out laughing, and there was a bit of a lewd atmosphere with the characteristics of men.
The druid smiled and said, "I have recently made another breakthrough in drug research, and this time I have brought you some new drugs, and the effect is much better than those in the past." As he spoke, he motioned for Le Lin to bring the small wooden box.
As soon as he opened the wooden box, a fresh aroma diffused. This aroma is a little similar to the smell of osmanthus, but it smells much better than that. It's like the breath of vitality between heaven and earth when winter goes to spring comes.
Several people in the house were instantly fascinated by the aura they had never encountered, and when they came back to their senses, they saw four emerald green pills the size of quail eggs in the wooden box. The old baron excitedly picked up one and sniffed it, and immediately smiled, why not close his mouth.
"This is really good!" he couldn't put it down and carefully studied the green pill: "Although the previous medicine has a good effect, it is bitter and astringent, and sometimes there are other unpleasant smells, I didn't expect you to make such a fragrant new pill, just smelling it makes me feel comfortable." ”
The druid smiled and said, "Your medicine here is very different from what I have learned before. I have only been here for a long time, so my knowledge of the herbs here is limited, and I can't make some of the best medicines, so I can only refine some of the inferior medicines. This time I had the opportunity to study the medicinal properties of several new herbs, which led to the creation of this medium-class pill, which not only has an obvious effect after taking it, but also has the effect of prolonging life and dispelling cold and dampness. Great for your body right now. ”
The baron was surprised and asked, "You mean that this medicine can cure diseases when it smells?"
The druid nodded proudly and said: "That's true, you take one medicine a week, and the rest of the medicine can be opened and placed in this room, so that the aroma fills the room, and you can also be cured by sitting and lying here! Usually eat and rest in the house, read books and games, and unconsciously the body can be recuperated, and the effect of sitting for two weeks is comparable to a previous pill! This is the difference between Chinese medicine." ”
The baron was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "The gods are above! Just smelling incense has such an effect, so what is the miraculous effect of the best medicine?"
The druid shook his head apologetically and said with a smile, "Can't say, can't say." Now I can only barely make some medium-class medicines, and those high-quality medicines can only be refined in the year of the monkey. Now that you have heard the effect, it will increase unnecessary extravagance, and if you can't hope for it, you will feel depressed, which is not good for your health. So it's better not to say it. ”
The baron nodded in understanding, then beckoned him to sit down, and the two began to talk.
