The dwarven king's laughter stopped instantly, like a closed faucet, and the hall was silent for a moment, even Zack and the others, who were talking in a whisper, were silent.

"Why?" This was the sentence that the dwarf king hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

I said lightly: "Because my godfather's waist is a big deal, I can't delay it for a moment." ”

The Dwarf King and the Goblin King were silent, they looked at each other, and suddenly burst out laughing, and the Dwarf King said, "Go, since you have said so, then go." ”

The goblin king patted me on the back and said, "Go and come back quickly, or my brother will start talking about you again." ”

"Okay," I saluted the two kings, turned and walked away quickly.

I didn't go straight to the airship base, but to the adventurer's base, because I had to find out through Harold what kind of hobbies Raphael had.

I vaguely remember that he seemed to like smoking a kind of grass, the name of which I don't remember, but the effect should be similar to that of a cigarette on earth.

The call crystal was quickly connected, and I explained the situation to the staff on the other end, and after another hour or so, Harold's voice came from the other end of the microphone: "It's Xiao Yi, what's the matter with me in such a hurry?" ”

"I'd like to ask you about Raphael......"

Before I could finish speaking, Harold suddenly interrupted: "About Raphael, Xiao Yi, I also have something to say to you." ”

"What?"

"Actually, Raphael, he's no longer in Ari City."

"Not in Ari City anymore?" My heart was cold, was my first plan going to ruin so soon?

Depressed, Harold said, "He and his daughter have been picked up by me, and now they live in the guild dormitory, I wanted to talk to you at first......"

"Well done!"

"What?" As if he didn't hear me, Harold asked again.

"I said you did a good job, very good" I said, "By the way, I'll take the magic airship over now, and we'll talk about it in detail when we get to the place,"

"Oh...... Good ......"

......

......

It took the magic airship a whole day to reach Dasai City.

It was already afternoon, and after getting off the airship, I headed straight for the New Valor Guild.

Jin Siqi was already waiting at the door, and when she saw me coming, she hurriedly greeted me: "Sweaty all over, how anxious are you?" ”

"Of course I'm in a hurry, I can't wait to fly over directly."

Jin Siqi was puzzled: "You are so anxious to see Raphael, is there something wrong at home, someone is sick?" ”

"I guessed it," I said, "my godfather is sick, and I need a personal doctor to take care of him." ”

"Who is your godfather?" Jin Siqi asked.

"Dewey."

"Dewey?" Jin Siqi frowned: "Why does this name sound so familiar?" ”

"Surely he is familiar," I said, "but you don't usually call him by his first name, but 'Master Dewey.'" ”

"What!" Jin Siqi was shocked: "You said that Master Dewey is your ......"

"Shhhh ”

"Good...... Okay," Jin Siqi nodded sluggishly.

When I entered the office, Harold was leaning against the window and looking out, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly came over and saluted me, and I waved my hand and refused: "We are friends, so don't stick to these etiquette, tell me about the situation, why was he brought here by you?" ”

Harold sighed and said, "It's not because of the fact that the Yorkhan Guild settled in Ari City, there is a large guild called the Knights of the Round Table, the president is an addict, he can't do without purple heart grass for a day, in order to satisfy his selfish desires, he forcibly occupied Raphael's villa, as well as all his property, and now Raphael is just a poor doctor who is destitute." ”

"Isn't he the number one doctor in Ari City, with this title, it shouldn't be difficult for him to make a comeback."

"How can it be so easy" Harold said: "Don't forget, he is an addict, he relies on purple heart grass very much, and the price of purple heart grass is very expensive, now he can say that he has nothing but his daughter, fortunately he still has human nature, he didn't exchange little Betty for purple heart grass, otherwise, I wouldn't have taken him over." ”

I nodded and said, "Where is he now, take me to meet him." ”

"What are you going to do?" Harold asked.

"Of course, I'm going to find him a place to stay," I smiled, "after all, your friend is my friend." ”

......

......

I always thought that purple heart grass was just something like cigarettes, but when I met Raphael, my mind changed.

In the room, on the bed, Raphael leaned motionless against the corner, described as withered.

His body was thin to the point of skin, his face was sallow, and his godless eyes twitched from time to time, as if to tell us that his master was still sane.

Compared with Raphael, who has been thin to the point of being out of phase, his daughter, little Betty, is much more normal, but this normality is limited to the body, and her spirit seems to be more sluggish than her father's.

I nodded at Harold and Kim, walked into the room, and closed the door casually.

As the door clicked shut, Raphael turned stiffly to me, his eyes moved twice, his lips opened, and he let out a dry voice: "Yes...... You. ”

"It's me," I said, "An Xiaoyi." ”

Little Betty also raised her head and glanced at me, but her eyes no longer had the disgust she had seen when they first met, but instead became pitiful.

I walked in with them, pulled up a chair, sat down, and said, "Long time no see, Raphael, I am amazed at the way you look now. ”

“...... Raphael laughed as if self-deprecating, he moved his lips vigorously, and uttered a few words again: "If you want to laugh, laugh." ”

"No, I'm not here to laugh at you," I said, "on the contrary, after knowing your situation, I intend to come and help you." ”

"Help...... Help me? Raphael squeezed out the words with all his might, and there was a rare expression of surprise on his dry face.

"Yes," I said, "because you're a doctor, and I need a doctor." ”

"Yes...... Is it? Raphael's eyes lit up again, he sat up with difficulty, and said slowly and dryly: "You, who do you want me to save?" ”

"Save yourself first," I said, "I need a doctor, but I need to be healthy, not dying." ”

"I, I'm not sick" Raphael swallowed, and his voice suddenly became urgent: "I, I just need to take a sip, purple heart grass, just take a sip." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have purple heartgrass," I spread my hands, "Besides, I'm not interested in that thing at all, and besides, you don't seem to have figured out where we both are now, and it's me helping you, not me, so it's me who makes the offer, not you." ”
