Chapter 117: Enthusiastic Captain Ximu
Shu Li had previously worried that his journey would take too long and he wouldn't be able to return to Elven Kingdom to purify the Mother Tree. However, by chance, he'd purchased a low-level magic wand and unexpectedly connected with the Mother Tree.
"Onomesis, I don't know how many days it will take before I can return to the Elven Kingdom. I'm afraid the purification will have to be delayed." Shu Li said apologetically.
"It's alright, little Sperian. You can lift the curse first, and then purify me." The mother tree replied.
“But I can’t deliver the herbs to Efit on time. Will he think I’m a liar?” Shu Li was worried.
We negotiated an agreement and received a deposit, but right after we started working together, we broke our promise.
He didn't want to break his promise, but due to irresistible factors, he had to leave the fairy forest and enter the human world early.
"Don't worry, I will help you explain to Ephite," the mother tree said gently.
[Ah? Really?] Shu Li was surprised, [Can you appear in front of Efit?]
The Mother Tree disapproved of the Dark Elves and even resented the Dark Elf King's persecution of her. When I first met her, even though I was unconscious, I still remembered how evil people had cut off her branches and planted them in a filthy place, forcing her to be corrupted by the power of darkness.
After regaining consciousness, the mother tree only wanted to transfer the fruit and turned a blind eye to the dark elves that had already been born and contaminated by darkness.
Because those dark elves are violent and do evil things, they have completely become believers of the God of Darkness.
But Efit was different.
The smell of blood on his body was very faint, and he didn't want the unborn dark elf cub to follow in his footsteps, be contaminated by darkness, and embark on a miserable life.
'Yes, Efit is a good boy.'
Being praised by the mother tree means that Efit has been recognized by the mother tree.
Shu Li felt relieved.
As long as the mother tree helped him explain to Efit, he wouldn't have to worry.
"Thank you, Eunomia." Shu Li was sincerely grateful.
"Little Sperian, grow up quickly! As long as you purify all the roots, I can take you anywhere on the continent."
[Okay, Oenomisis, I'll try my best!]
He made a promise.
Purifying all the roots of the mother tree is a huge project, which may not be completed in ten years.
"Good night, Sperion," the mother tree said goodbye to the elf.
[Good night, Eunomia.]
After the communication ended, Shu Li could no longer resist the strong sleepiness. He fell into a daze in an instant and soon fell into a sweet sleep.
After Ilio lay down, he did not fall asleep immediately.
When you reach the level of a Dharma God, your body doesn’t need too much sleep. Just close your eyes and rest, and your energy will be restored.
Therefore, he clearly noticed that the little goblin who had just said he wanted to sleep in a hurry took more than ten minutes to fall asleep.
Hearing the little guy's even breathing, Ilio opened his eyes, covered him with the quilt, and tilted his head to look at his innocent sleeping face.
Is it because too many things happened today, causing a huge impact on the child's young mind, so he can't fall asleep for a while?
As expected, entering the human world too early will affect the healthy growth of the little goblin.
However, Sperian's performance along the way was quite outstanding. If it were any other goblins, they would have cried because they were not used to eating human food.
You know, when he went to the mainland to gain experience as an adult, he ate bread paste for the first time and vomited on the spot.
Little Sperian was much easier to raise than him. He ate a bowl of bread paste for breakfast obediently without any complaints.
Elio observed for a while, making sure the child was not having a nightmare, then lay down again and continued to sleep.
“De de de…”
The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly outside the window.
Ilio rolled over.
If you go out in the middle of the night, you must be up to no good.
But it has nothing to do with him.
Early the next morning, Shu Li was woken up by Ilio. He got up in a daze, his eyes still closed and unable to open.
I lay down in the middle of the night and chatted with the mother tree for a while. I was seriously sleep deprived.
"Little Amo, wake up quickly. It's too late to catch the chorus' carriage." Ilio patted the little guy's face.
"Oh... I'm awake... awake..." Shu Li said as he woke up, his eyes still closed and his body shaking.
Ilio had no choice but to work harder as his "older brother".
He first went to the bathroom to wring out a wet towel, wiped the little elf's face and hands, then found the magic robe he had bought yesterday and put it on him.
After finishing the cleaning, he easily picked up the child with one hand, picked up his backpack and magic wand with the other, and walked downstairs.
On the first floor of the hotel, members of the chorus were sitting at the dining table eating.
Seeing the black-haired young man carrying little Amo down the stairs, Ximu took the initiative to step forward to help. "Mr. Al, how are you feeling?"
"Drink some herbs and have a night's rest, and everything will be fine." Ilio put down his backpack and magic wand, and then put the half-asleep elf in his arms on the chair.
"Really? That's great." Simu carefully studied the young man's face. Although he was still a little pale, he was no longer as frail and bloodless as he was yesterday. "Is little Amo still asleep?"
She looked down at the little boy with his eyes closed and found that he was wearing a...magic robe?
Um?
Magic robe!
"Little Amo is a magic apprentice?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes, I went to the Magic Association last night and successfully passed the test and got the badge of a magic apprentice." Ilio took out a bag of heavy gold coins from his backpack and handed it to Sim.
Sim looked at the bag of gold coins handed to him, frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Al?"
She gave him all the reward last night, why did he return it today?
Elio said, "The troupe performed for the first half, so we can't go without gaining anything. The box Hobner gave me is more than enough to offset my losses."
Sim hesitated.
Ilio's lips curled up slightly. "There are five hundred gold coins in the bag."
He knew that Xi Mu would not take all the gold coins, so he gave him half of them in advance.
As expected, Sim accepted the bag and said solemnly, "Mr. Al, I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just give me a command, and the members of the Milia Dance Troupe and I will be at your disposal."
Ilio nodded unceremoniously and said, "Okay."
Although she may not need them, if she refuses, this woman who seems frivolous but is actually affectionate will feel guilty and unable to sleep at night.
When Sim received his answer, he smiled charmingly, regained his usual laziness, and shouted to the innkeeper: "Old Sam, hurry up and serve this table! It's my treat—"
"Okay, Captain Sim, please wait a moment." Old Sam responded loudly.
Shu Li was awakened by the smell of food.
He opened his eyes and found himself sitting at the dining table with delicious food in front of him.
Steaming wheat cakes just out of the pan, warm milk, sweet honey jam, fresh fruits, and boiled eggs.
Looks delicious.
He touched his stomach and licked the corner of his mouth greedily.
"Oh, our little magic apprentice is finally awake?" Sim asked jokingly.
"Huh?" Shu Li looked down at his magic robe and the magic badge on his chest, then looked at Ilio who was eating slowly, and roughly understood the situation.
He touched his hair sheepishly and felt a long braid.
Shu Li: 0.0
Ilio actually braided his hair?
"Eat quickly, then we'll set off." Ilio stuffed a wheat cake into his hand.
"Oh." Shu Li opened her mouth and took a bite. The freshly baked oatmeal pancake was soft and delicious when paired with warm milk.
He was at the age of growing up, so he ate breakfast in big mouthfuls.
Sim sat nearby, watching the children eat with great interest.
As expected, he was a young master from a wealthy family. Even after changing his clothes, his demeanor was completely different. Boone, like the other, ate voraciously, but with a rude manner, while little Amo was very polite, his every move exuding elegance.
Although he wanted to imitate an ordinary civilian child, his temperament could not be concealed.
Shu Li ate half his meal, and when he looked up, he met Ximu's bright eyes, and was filled with questions.
Sim peeled an egg for him considerately: "Eat more eggs, and you will grow taller."
Shu Li stammered, "Thank...thank you."
He was flattered to have the big sister, Captain Ximu, peel the eggs for him personally.
While chewing on the egg, Shu Li looked at Ilio for help.
Why does Captain Ximu want to sit at the same table with them?
Ilio drank his milk calmly, unable to help the goblin.
It was such a hard time to eat the meal. Finally, when he was full, Shu Li refused Ximu's feeding.
Simon put down his knife and fork with regret. He had been meaning to cut steak for the child!
After breakfast, the chorus members set off in formation.
Six carriages were parked neatly on the street in front of the hotel. The first five belonged to the song and dance troupe, while the last one was huge and gorgeous, with four horses pulling side by side and the driver dressed neatly, which seemed out of place.
Whose carriage is this?
It looked out of place when placed next to the chorus's carriage.
Shu Li, magic wand in hand, followed Ilio towards the cart loaded with groceries.
He was going to smell the stench for another day, and he mourned for his nose.
"Mr. Al, little Amo, please wait a moment." Sim called them and pointed to the magnificent carriage with a smile. "Please get in this carriage."
Elio was surprised. "Captain Ximu, you don't have to spend money."
It is obvious that this carriage is of great value. When it moves on the road, it looks like a moving gold brick, attracting robbers.
Sim sighed inwardly, but his smile remained undimmed. "I'd like to spend some money, but unfortunately I don't have the chance. You all get in the carriage first, and I'll explain later."
Shu Li tugged at Ilio's sleeve and looked up at him inquiringly.
Do you want to go up or not?
Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this carriage is ten times better than that grocery carriage, and it must be very comfortable to sit in.
Ilio lowered his head to meet his expectant gaze and curled the corners of his mouth.
What a delicate little goblin.
"Let's get on!" He took Shu Li and got into the carriage with Xi Mu.
As soon as I entered the carriage, three pairs of eyes looked over at me.
Shu Li was stunned when he saw three familiar faces.
What's going on?
Why did I meet an acquaintance again?
The great swordsman Senluo, the little princess of Pedam, and... that annoying Master Most.
Sen Luo sat upright on the carriage seat and said seriously, "Mr. Al, we meet again."
Nasha had a stern face and said nothing.
Sen Luo touched her arm lightly. She pursed her lips and said, "Good morning, Mr. Al."
Elio smiled and replied, "Good morning, both of you."
He pulled Shu Li to sit opposite Moster.
Most snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "This is the carriage of our Hobner family. It is your honor to let you ride in it."
Shu Li clenched his fists and glared at Mostet angrily: "You, the Hobner family, have shortened my brother's lifespan. I don't want to ride in a bad guy's carriage!"
As he said that, he took Ilio's hand and started to get out of the car. "Argo, let's go!"
Most curled his lips in disdain: "Civilians are civilians..."
Before he could finish his words, a fist hit him on the head.
"Ouch!" He was in so much pain that tears came to his eyes.
Sim drew back his fist and blew on it.
Moster, who was beaten, dared not say a word and looked frightened.
Shu Li was confused.
This play...should we continue to perform?
