Chapter 49 Leah
Ulu was awakened by another burst of rapid coughing.
He, who had never been grumpy when waking up, really wanted to explode with the world at this moment. He couldn't remember the last time he woke up naturally. Before, he was always woken up by his own cough, but now he was woken up by other people's coughing.
Damn, is this world terminally ill?
Isn't there a healthy person?!
He was so angry that he yelled at the wall: "Can you be quiet?! Can't I sleep?"
Then Ulu was startled by his own roar.
Is his voice that loud?
Before he could think clearly, there was another light sound of footsteps outside the corridor. Wulu could imagine the person walking on tiptoe. Then the footsteps stopped, and he heard the proprietress's apologetic words from outside the door: "Sorry, sir, I accidentally disturbed you."
The proprietress's voice was also very soft. It was not known whether it was because she was weak or because she did not want to disturb Ulu anymore, but Ulu still heard it very clearly, as if the proprietress was speaking in his ear.
This made Ulu realize that the proprietress's cough might not be very loud, it's just that his hearing was stronger than before.
...This is probably what Visas said, an extra bonus, just like the spells he knew. After Visas used his body, he could use those spells fluently and with greater power than before.
But Ulu was not happy because the price of this free gift was his life.
Knowing that the landlady had not woken him up on purpose, Ulu was no longer so angry. He responded casually with a few words and wanted to go back to sleep. However, it was already dawn and after what had happened, he was not very sleepy anymore, so he sighed softly and prepared to get up.
Then he found the "Rhine Covenant" spread out on the bedside table, flipped to the first page and the first chapter, and he immediately became alert.
He had no recollection of having read The Rhine Covenant before going to bed yesterday, and he hadn't even taken it out of his luggage.
Ulu immediately lowered his head and looked at his left hand: "What did you do with my body last night?"
Bai Wei replied calmly: "Don't be nervous, as you can see, I just got up and read a book."
"Read a book?" Ulu naturally didn't believe it. "You need one finger to read a book!?"
"You saw it with your eyes, didn't you?" Bai Wei stood up slowly again, and then gently moved his index and ring fingers, as if shrugging. "It's quite clear. Why, didn't you notice it?"
Ulu stared at his middle finger and said through gritted teeth: "You said you wouldn't control my body..."
"Go and die." Bai Wei interrupted Wu Lu's words, "So I just read a book, don't worry, I'm just reading a book."
Ulu was really angry, especially Bai Wei's indifferent tone.
What Wulu feared most was that Bai Wei would use his body to do something strange while he was asleep, but he had no other options, after all, Bai Wei had never promised anything in this regard. So he could only hope to complete the deal with Bai Wei before Bai Wei could only control half of his body and could not do anything too dangerous, and then completely cut off the relationship (in the physical sense).
In the meantime, his powers must never be used again.
After making up his mind, Ulu forced himself to ignore the matter, snorted coldly and prepared to get up.
But while getting dressed, he unconsciously glanced at the spread-out "Rhine Covenant".
It only turned to the first page, as if it lost interest after just one glance.
But...is it really like that?
Would Visas really do such a meaningless thing?
Wu Lu really wanted to ask Bai Wei directly, but he subconsciously felt that Bai Wei would not tell him the truth, and he did not want to be further controlled by Bai Wei, so he endured it.
But when he was getting dressed, he would still "inadvertently" turn his eyes over. Although he had memorized "The Rhine Covenant" by heart, he still wanted to see what Bai Wei was trying to do and whether there was any special meaning in turning to this page.
The first point in the first chapter is about the origin believers. The images of the four initial believers in the accompanying picture are infinitely close to the God of the Rhine itself. They are perfect people from all angles, but they still kneel before the God of the Rhine. According to the teachings of the Rhine, it is precisely because of this that they share the supreme power of the Rhine.
So what is the meaning of Bai Wei turning the book to this page?
Before Wu Lu could figure it out, there was a knock on the door. He had to temporarily retract his thoughts and said to the door, "Come in."
Then he saw Leah coming in with a tray containing eggs and sausages.
"Sir, please have breakfast." Leah said crisply.
...There is breakfast in this crappy shop?
Uru was a little surprised, but he didn't show it and let Leah put it on the table.
After Leah put the breakfast away, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she walked up to Uru and handed him a few copper coins: "Sir, this is the room fee."
Ulu frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Aunt said she is not in good health and cannot provide you with a complete service. She even woke you up this morning because of her cough." Leah said seriously, "We shouldn't charge you the full room fee, so we will refund you half."
Ulu took the copper coin with some surprise, rubbed it gently in his hand, and pondered it in his mind.
Is it because the orphan and the widow are worried that they will get into trouble that they make concessions?
Ulu thought about it for a moment, nodded, and put the money in his pocket.
Leah added: "If you want to change hotels, you can also tell us directly and we will refund you all the room fees."
As she said this, Leah's beautiful eyes kept turning around, as if she was a little nervous, as if she was afraid that Uru would check out of the hotel because of this.
Obviously, the woman told her to say that.
After saying this, Leia quickly bowed to Uru and prepared to leave.
When she reached the door, Ulu suddenly asked, "Is she your mother?"
Leah stopped, looked back at Ulu, and said, "No, it's my aunt."
"Where's your mother?"
"Mom is dead."
The corners of Ulu's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly thought of the little boy and his sister.
Damn it, why is there another one without a mother?
Leah noticed the change in Uru's expression and thought that Uru was pitying her, so she waved her hands and said, "It's okay, sir. Although my mother is gone, my aunt is very kind to me and I treat her as my mother, so I don't feel sorry for her."
Who said you were pitiful?
Uru thought this kid was weird, but he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and asked Leah to leave.
So Leia bowed to Uru again before leaving the door.
Then, Ulu walked to the table and squinted at the fried eggs and sausages in front of him.
This is totally burnt.
He picked up the fork, tasted a little reluctantly, and then put it down immediately.
...It tastes so damn bad.
Ulu didn't finish his breakfast in the end. After packing up his things, he went out.
When he walked to the door of the hotel, he saw the proprietress sitting behind the counter. She seemed to be weaker than last night. Her face was pale and her hands were tightly grasping the armrests of the chair, as if she had used up all her strength. But even so, she still had a faint smile on her face, and was looking at the little figure in front of her - Leah was holding a mop that was a head taller than her, mopping the floor with sweat all over her forehead.
When she saw Ulu, Leah immediately stood up straight and bowed to him. Ever since the boss lady said she was impolite yesterday, she seemed to remember this and bowed to Ulu several times a day: "Good morning, sir."
The proprietress next to her seemed to want to get up as well, but because she was too weak, she gave up after trying twice and failed. She just gave Ulu an apologetic smile.
Ulu didn't say anything, just nodded and walked past the two of them.
Then he noticed that the proprietress also had an omelette and a grilled sausage in front of her, but it was even burntier than his, which made his eyelids twitch involuntarily.
In addition, there was a bowl of black sticky liquid on the table, which seemed to be medicine.
"Sir." The proprietress suddenly called Ulu and said softly, "Today, Leah and I have to go to the church to see a doctor. If we come back late..."
"I see." Ulu said expressionlessly, "You already said that yesterday."
The proprietress smiled and nodded, and stopped talking.
So Ulu walked out of the hotel, and then for some unknown reason, he turned back and looked through the window.
"Aunt, I've finished mopping the floor."
"Okay, very good."
"Why don't you take your medicine?"
"Haha, drink it right away."
"Why didn't you have breakfast? Is it because Leah's cooking wasn't tasty?" Leah looked very nervous.
"Of course not." The proprietress put the burnt fried egg into her mouth with a smile, "It's delicious... but it's not very suitable for customers to eat. I need to add more oil."
"…Liya will do her best! Aunt, you can rest assured and leave all the work to me!"
"Haha, Leah is the most sensible."
At this moment, Ulu felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the cottage twenty years ago and heard the familiar yet strange woman talking to him.
"Mom, take your medicine."
"……good."
"There's nothing to eat, but it doesn't matter. I can go to the church, and the priest will definitely help us!"
"Haha, the names are all wrong. Leah is the most sensible one."
Ulu stood in front of the window in silence for a while before turning around and leaving.
