11. Wind.26 (39)
Despite the nightmares, the waking process was smooth. The hazy consciousness felt that the body was surrounded by soft and warm touches, and it was incredible that I felt relieved about it.
After my eyelids twitched for a while, I opened my eyes and saw that the unexpected scenery filled my vision.
"What...... What?"
Lower and cramped than the ceiling...... It was lower than the towering and intricately decorated canopy of the princes and nobles, and the rim was not made of thick brocade, but of deep deep purple silk, and the ivory pillars that supported the four corners of the roof were decorated with delicate golden ivy patterns. The silk quilt covering the body was light and warm, and it seemed to be filled with some kind of fowl feathers.
After waiting for a moment, the focus was on, and the text surrounded by roses in the center of the canopy came into view.
-- Existence precedes essence.
The aphorisms of the 20th-century existentialist philosopher Sartre are the basic propositions of his philosophy, the first principle of existentialism.
I don't know the source of this sentence, and I don't have the energy to delve into its meaning for a while. After realizing that he was in an unfamiliar environment, he tried to move his body without making a sound, and immediately felt pain all over his body, in addition to various contusions, knife wounds, and chemical burns, there were also bursts of burning and stinging pain in the ribs, ulna, flexed bones, and collarbone. Endure the severe pain and confirm the physical condition. If the fractures are fixed and healed without proper continuation, it can cause sequelae such as deformity, abnormal movement, and even damage to internal organs. As I felt the roughness of the splints and bandages, this fear gradually dissipated.
It seems that he was rescued by a well-off family and treated by a very good surgeon. Diana finally reassured a little, and rolled her eyes to take a closer look at the room. Sofas, decorative paintings, bookcases, writing desks, lamps, stoves, mechanical clocks, etc. are all fashionable and high-priced items, which are integrated in a neat layout, which does not make people feel crowded and cluttered at all, but has a fresh style. It can be seen that the owner of the house has good taste and is still a fan of V.E - everything is "made by V.E".
In this era, who can escape the influence of V.E except for the hermit who lives alone in the mountains? How can people who are accustomed to a convenient life be willing to return to the old way of life? Even the old-fashioned Emile cannot do this, shouting for a break from money worship. Running around. Connecting countries to limit the expansion of the chaebols, the priests of the Holy Capital are eager for V.E's latest luxury goods - I have to say, this is really ironic.
With money and interests, he has established a wide range of contacts, and has close ties with the army, the government, and the aristocracy. Tying the national interest to oneself - the V.E consortium is still a behemoth today. It is difficult to restrain its growth with the power of the state such as the law. Not to mention the hidden power of all kinds of monsters under the table, which is enough to eliminate a guy who is in the way for the consortium.
Salome in particular, as long as she's there. Relying on "dark" means to solve the V.E consortium is destined to be a dream.
Thinking about these things, my eyes turned to the left, and my body couldn't help but stiffen.
By the edge of the window, which was like sunlight, sat a teenager.
The side face in the sun is masculine, the chestnut-colored hair reflects the transfigured light, and the purple eyes are staring at him.
He seemed to be just like himself, wondering how to start a conversation, probably he also had a headache about this way of meeting again? For a moment, the two of them just stared at each other in a daze.
"Excuse me......"
Speaking with determination, her eyes fixed on the canopy, Diana whispered:
"Did you save me?"
"Uh-huh......"
Roland lowered his shoulders and replied with a sigh,
"Sort of. ”
It was the flower mantis who did the operation, it was the spider who contacted Stacy and the company headquarters, and it was Li Lin who agreed to make his own claims. Strictly speaking, Roland just gave Diana an emergency and moved her into his dormitory.
"So—"
There was no change in the tone of his voice, but Roland felt that the pace of his speech quickened a little, as if he was being forced to make up his mind by something.
"Dressing and bandaging are also your ......"
"It's not. ”
Shaking his head resolutely, understanding what Diana was trying to say, Roland looked away.
"I let the professionals get it. ”
"That's ...... Uh, I'm sorry, I forgot to thank you. ”
Diana sighed secretly and changed to more formal wording.
"Your company's doctor is quite good, but if it weren't for Brother Roland's correct handling in the first place, it is likely that he would have been called by the grace of the Mother God. It's really appreciated. ”
"To be honest, I'm worried about whether I can make it until the doctor arrives, but luckily, the doctor is fast enough and your body is just right to hold up until that moment. ”
In addition to the world-class torturers in the elven camp, they also have the world's top surgeons, and the medical skills accumulated by various experiences are superb and excellent, but if Diana does not have a strong enough will and body to survive, it will be very difficult to be rescued.
"Don't be modest, Miss Nun. ”
The flower mantis, who appeared in the room at some point, patted the indicator report on his hand and said bitterly:
"I can't simply blame luck for being able to get out of that adult's hands, it's really a very thoroughly trained body. ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about. ”
"As a patient, is it interesting to hide your illness from a doctor? As long as you are not a novice, an experienced doctor can deduce your physical condition, the process and cause of injuries in various parts of your body, not to mention that I have a veterinarian and forensic license. ”
As soon as the words fell, Diana glared at Roland fiercely, and in the face of silent questioning, Roland lowered his head weakly.
Although the matter is urgent, it is really ...... to let the surgeons who are part-time veterinarians and forensic doctors save lives
Diana, who was about to turn her lips back, let out a scream of extreme hunger for nourishment, felt extremely embarrassed, but could not move, and bit her lip tightly.
"Only liquid food can be ingested during the postoperative recovery period, and if the patient has symptoms of anorexia or hunger strike, this can only be used. ”
The flower mantis shook the funnel in his hand, and there was an eager expression on his face.
"A few days ago, a white elephant orc who was tortured to the point that he didn't have a piece of good meat on his body, and still couldn't speak, sent it to me. Fill him with some beef broth with a funnel, and the guy will do everything. ”
Roland and Diana's faces changed, and before they could make any sense of this, the flower mantis took out a terrifying thing from his sleeve.
A tubular object, with mercury poured into the hollow part - this is undoubtedly a thermometer, but much thicker than a regular thermometer, almost like a sausage.
"For bad boys who are disobedient and don't like to eat, I'm always happy to play punishment games with them, today's punishment game is to take body temperature, as you can see, this is an anal thermometer-"
"I made do with some coarse tea and light rice temporarily, and I hope my sister Diana doesn't mind. ”
"Where, where, very rich, thank you. ”
The happy atmosphere instantly overflowed the room, looking at the two of them who were much more affectionate at once, the flower mantis looked at the giant thermometer in his hand, and let out a sigh of disappointment. (To be continued......)
