The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 24 Dreams and the Distance, Survival and Bread

The woman in the room in front of her looked young, and she was only a few years older than Cornings by visual inspection.

A call from Cornings later confirmed Mu's conjecture.

"elder sister."

Just when Mu was already thinking seriously about how to fool the kid next to him into calling him brother-in-law, the woman in front of him turned around.

This action finally stopped Mu Yue's blood in time.

"Um, sorry, I didn't know you brought friends back."

As soon as the woman saw Mu, she quickly turned her head away, and turned sideways with a little inferiority, as if she didn't want others to see her face.

But at that moment, Mu still saw it—a cheek that was originally beautiful and delicious was stained with purple spots from the right eye to the corner of the mouth for some reason...

"I... sorry, I really don't know, um, has your friend eaten? I... I didn't know you would be back today, I didn't prepare dinner, I'm going to-"

The panic made Cornings' sister incoherent for a while. She didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to look at the door again.

"No, we've brought bread."

Mu entered the room with the bag in his hand, and at the same time comforted softly: "I've seen it, it doesn't matter, it's not ugly."

Connings' sister was stunned for a moment, and then, as if relieved, her movements finally became natural again.

Then Mu took Cornings into the house.

The house in the shantytown is very narrow. There is almost no space left in the house of the two siblings except for two beds and a table. Clothes can only be hung on the bedside. A positively charged rabbit is squatting on the bed, looking curiously at the new arrivals. There is also a dream monster under the beam, blinking its big eyes, looking down at the people below.

After a brief introduction, Mu learned that Cornings' sister's name was Vanessa.

Afterwards, he pretended to ask casually, and Conings said: "Earlier, my sister was working in a manor, and the orchard was attacked by wild needle bees. The owner of the manor forced them to go forward to drive them away. As a result, my sister was injured by the poisonous needles of the bee."

After hearing this, Mu was silent.

In the real world, elves don't just attack elves, and humans sometimes become victims of skills as well.

The poison produced by elf moves is much more domineering than ordinary drug toxins. Even if they are both elves, they will be tortured for a long time if they eat it.

"Is there no cure?" Mu asked.

"It takes a lot of money to find a trainer for treatment," Cornings replied.

"What about your parents?" Mu asked again.

"Not anymore." Cornings replied very simply.

Then Vanessa helped to add something, "Dad went to sea and encountered a shipwreck, and then my mother suddenly left one day and never came back."

Mu opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Perhaps it was because of his strong initial identity after time travel, since he came to the world, he has never really seen the whole picture of this era.

In the navy, there is not only adventure and pioneering, military exploits and glory, but more is just forced by livelihood.

For him, the sea may symbolize dreams and distant places, but for more seaside boys like Cornings, the sea represents nothing more than survival and bread...

"Then what are you doing now?"

What Mu asked was Vanessa.

"During the day, I work as a servant in a noble's house near the port. At night, I occasionally take the dream monster to the nearby circus to help."

Hearing this, Conings suddenly interjected with a sense of resentment: "Those people in the circus always make my sister dress up as a witch without makeup, they bully people!"

Looking at the somewhat disfigured half of the girl's face in front of him, Mu suddenly felt a little distressed.

Judging from her behavior when the two of them entered the room just now, this girl feels inferior to her current appearance. If she is forced to perform on stage without concealing it, it is indeed a bit of a bully.

However, Vanessa just smiled gently, "They don't pay less every time, and that's enough."

Suddenly Mu had an impulse.

"I also have a house in York Harbor, or you can come to my house as a helper in the future."

He had already dismissed the housekeeper and maid at home, and he planned to dismiss the villa during this trip, but now, he suddenly felt that it might be okay to rent it for a while.

"No, that...Actually, I..."

Vanessa suddenly became a little incoherent again.

However, Mu just looked at her tenderly, dispelling her panic with sincerity.

Then he turned to Cornings aside.

"Do you still need to go back to the barracks today?" he asked
"Yes, sir," Cornings replied.

"Then do you have a day off tomorrow?"

"No, but I have a day off the day after tomorrow, sir."

"Then I'll come back the day after tomorrow."

Mu didn't directly say what he was going to do the day after tomorrow, so as to avoid any accidents and let the siblings down for nothing.

On the third day, he brought Cornings to his house again. Vanessa, who had been notified in advance, also got a day off and waited at home early.

After that, without saying a word, Mu led the two of them to the medical clinic in the city.

It wasn't until she arrived at the place that Vanessa finally realized what Mu was going to do. She waved her hands again and again, stepped back several steps, and refused, "My lord, it's too expensive, we can't afford it."

Mu turned his head to show her a reassuring smile, and said, "Don't worry, I will pay for the first treatment expenses for you."

Then he took the lead and walked in.

But Vanessa stayed in place, in a dilemma, at a loss.

A moment later, it was Conings who made up his mind first, a ray of firm belief flashed in his eyes, he pulled up his sister, and strode to follow Mu who was walking in front.

After entering the medical hall, they met the trainer who was attending the consultation. After a simple inspection, the other party quickly confirmed that it was the trauma caused by the moves of the poisonous elves, and then the other party called a Roseredo beside him to release an "Aroma Healing".

After the skills were over, the doctor quickly urged them to leave quickly, and let the next patient come up quickly. The whole process took less than 30 seconds, which was incredible.

After the treatment, the condition on Vanessa's face has indeed improved a lot. Most of the purple scars have faded away, but there are still many traces left that have not been completely removed.

In the words of the doctor, the poison has been dragging on for too long, and it is impossible to cure it in a short period of time. If it is to be completely eliminated, it can only be treated for a long time in the future.

But even so, the cost of a single treatment on the bill sent afterwards was still shocking, fully worth three or four months of Conings' military pay.

This made Mu immediately think of the long list of skills in Chenglong's second-stage cultivation plan, which seemed to have similar effects of "healing bell" and "water drop of life".

"If you can't get along at sea in the future, it might be a good choice to go back to land and open a medical clinic to grab money."

Holding the bill in his hand, Mu planned angrily!

On the way back, Vanessa remained silent, her eyes evasive, as if she was afraid to look at Mu.

On the contrary, Cornings became inexplicably calm.

After sending Vanessa home, on the way back to the naval base, Conings suddenly said to Mu: "Take me on board with you, my lord. As long as I am alive, I will definitely not put you in danger!"

In the past, Cornings only called him the officer, but today, the boy suddenly changed his name to an adult.

Mu looked into each other's eyes, and in the eyes of each other, he seemed to see some kind of pure and passionate belief.

This made Mu couldn't help smiling slightly, and for a moment, he felt that the wind blowing in front of him seemed to be particularly refreshing.

Originally, he had already thought about it. If the siblings were ungrateful, at worst, he would use the first treatment fee as a placebo to satisfy his kindness.

Sometimes people always need a little such psychological comfort, besides, he can still afford the money at present.

Fortunately, he has a pretty good eye for seeing people, and what he meets is not the kind of greedy white-eyed wolf.

Therefore, this is no longer a one-man show in which he is moved by himself and indulged in himself.

Exchange an investment for a loyal younger brother, this wave is definitely not a loss~
