(XXXVII) Wish (Elena Joyue, III)

In the days that followed, Elena took care of the young patient while taking time to check on the rest of the town's residents. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Most of the townspeople are healthy, mainly due to the chronic lack of food and the irregular eating time, which has led to a relatively thin body. However, the Thatchi seem to have adapted to the environment, and although they seem to have few muscles, there are many people who have better strength and endurance than the maidens - including those who are nearly 100 years old.

She left some herbs for the townspeople to repel insects and itching, and how to use them - the mosquitoes of the wasteland not only spread diseases, but also the toxins after their bites are unbearable. She also left behind their seeds, which don't need much rain to grow, and when they do, they may be able to generate an extra income for the town in addition to their own use.

The boy's condition gradually improved, the redness and swelling on his body visibly subsided, and his spirit and appetite also recovered a lot. By the time he was able to leave the hut on his own and greet the townspeople, everyone's vague wariness of Elena had completely turned into trust and affection.

They were amazed at how a young girl who had just come of age, at least for the Thatchs, could be so skilled. And when he learned that she would be separated from Hylanthia soon and travel alone, he also expressed reluctance and worry.

"Or, you'll stay here for a while." An old woman with curly silver hair said with some slurred words, "It's not safe in the north, you are alone, and if you don't get it right, something will happen." ”

Elena declined the townspeople's invitation. Rather, their friendliness strengthened the girl's determination to continue traveling. She will surely go to more places, see more luck and misfortune, and bring light to more people, so the girl believes.

She spent a total of ten days in Rubbletown. When the boy had fully recovered from his illness, she gave another order on what to pay attention to, and then said goodbye to Hylanthia and the townspeople.

"Speaking of which, what did Sister Yinyue do?" The two walked side by side on the road again, and the girl asked with some curiosity, "I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

"It's just a little bit of a way to improve the soil around them, so that the next year's harvest can be a little better." The silver-haired woman replied casually, "Of course, I don't know who they will thank for this." ”

The girl tilted her head, as if she understood the reason for what Hylancia had done, but she didn't fully understand. The dirt road in the wasteland split into two sides in front of them, and the two stopped at the fork in the road.

"It's time to say goodbye for a while." The silver-haired woman rubbed Elena's hair again, in exchange for the girl's slightly dissatisfied gaze, "You're ready for the next journey, right?" ”

The girl nodded earnestly.

"I'll leave this pony and luggage to you, use it with care." Patting the bantam on the neck, she took out a silver badge from her bosom - not the one representing the Templars, of course - and handed it to the maiden, "If you are in danger, hold it tight and pray to Leonos." However, it's better to avoid danger as much as possible and not to use it lightly. ”

"Thank you, Sister Yinyue~" Elena took the badge and carefully put it in her close-fitting pocket, "When will we meet again?" ”

"Maybe for a long time, maybe soon." "The future is interesting because it's uncertain. ”

The two waved goodbye. Elena watched the silver-haired woman disappear, her figure gradually melting into the loess of the wasteland. She inhaled softly, and put her hands in front of her mouthβ€”

"I will look forward to meeting next time! Please look forward to it! ”

She didn't know if the other person heard it, but it didn't matter. This mentor friend, who is both like an elder sister and an elder, has given her enough expectations and help. All she should do now is try not to let everything the other party have done and her beliefs go to waste.

She turned and walked down another path.

……

Unfortunately, ideals and reality are often at odds.

Maybe it's bad luck, maybe it's not threatening - in other words, it's bullying, and Elena's journey doesn't go well.

On the fifth day after her separation from Hylancia, she took up residence in the tribe she passed through. As in Rubbletown, she tried to treat the tribe's inhabitants and distributed them herbs and seeds.

However, a group of half-grown teenagers swarmed up and snatched the herbs she was carrying. She tried to reason with them, but the tribesmen only said lightly that the Thatchi people were able to speak, and if they wanted herbs, they would go and grab them themselves.

Naturally, she didn't do that, even if she did fight, those teenagers might not necessarily be her opponents.

On the eleventh day, two passing hunters shot her horses with an arrow, and rightly claimed that all the beasts of the land were their prey.

She was so angry that she overturned the two men directly, and wanted them to compensate, but seeing that they really couldn't find anything of value on them, she could only take a worn-out short sword and give them some food in the package - after all, it was too heavy to carry on her back.

On the eighteenth day, she was discovered by a group of Saatchi warriors who seemed to have just been victorious in the tribal battle, dragging a large amount of loot and a captive population. Greedy for her possibility, or for herself, several warriors grabbed her in a Zaatchi shout and strode after her.

After several pursuits, Elena found that her physical strength was far inferior to that of these wasteland dwellers, so she had to take out the emblem that Highland Cia had given her, hold it on her chest and whisper a prayer. After a bright light, all the warriors who pursued her covered their eyes and fell to the ground with a wail.

Taking advantage of the other party's intimidation, the girl quickly left the scene. However, her package was also discarded during the previous pursuit, leaving only a small amount of items that she was carrying.

Elena continued her travels, only slightly discouraged. She couldn't help but think, is it really possible to change such a person and such a bad environment?

Hunger and thirst were not a problem for her. The Lord of Light's magic can give her plenty of food and water every day, and she can even share it with others. Simple cleansing of the body and protection from damage caused by sun exposure can also be achieved using magic techniques.

However, the interaction between people is not something that any magic can help solve.

The girl reflected on her own experiences from the beginning to the present. She had seen many things she hadn't known before. Some tribes are poorly clothed, and some even eat their weakened and dead people as food. Most of them adhere to the principle of respecting the strong, and perhaps in this environment, only those with sufficient strength can better ensure the continuation of the entire tribe and even the ethnic group.

She knew that her abilities were not enough, but then she remembered what Highlandia had done in her first village, and what she had said.

"As the "light" of the church, you must always let your heart be full of light."

The girl looked at the bright sunshine in the sky, held the silver emblem in her hand, and felt the warmth in her heart rise again.

She will not change her original intention, and from now on, she will not ask for anyone's gratitude. As long as she does what she wants to do, it is happy enough for her.
