Chapter 24 Nianta 2
"Please collect it! =w=」
"Li Ou," Lu Yuewu put down the basin in her hand and immediately came to support him. What are you doing? Your injury hasn't healed yet. She complained dissatisfiedly, "How many more days do you want to lie down?"
The alchemist stood well with his help, and his smile looked a little out of shape because of the pain from the wound. If I lie down like this, I will get rusty." He took a breath and forced himself to stand up. The humidity at the seaside is always too heavy. I have to walk around and bask in the sun. He shrugged his shoulders, but didn't want to pull the wound on his shoulder again. The penetrating injury is always difficult to heal.
"Are you all right? You always want to be strong." She helped him sit down again. The strength in her hand made Leo unable to resist.
"I'm not that vulnerable." Li Ou smiled helplessly, "Okay, let me up. I have an appointment with the prince." He grabbed his trousers, but even bending down became extremely difficult. Excuse me, take your pants..." He was embarrassed. Who can't even put on a pair of trousers for himself now?
Lu Yuewu blushed, grabbed the dark blue trousers from his hand, and carefully and slowly put them on him. What's the matter? Do you have to go now? She turned her head and tried to divert her attention.
"You will know if you follow."
"I'll go too? Oh, okay." Lu Yuewu hurriedly tied the belt for him, but she had been sweating for a long time. Even in the face of the enemy, she had never been so panicked. I'll prepare it first." After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait." Li Ou smiled bitterly and stopped Lu Yuewu, who had opened the door. He raised his hand to her. Do you think I can climb downstairs by myself? Unless I roll down like a ball.
"I'll call Rosie." She said and fled in a hurry.
Rosie said little to him. She still seems to be angry about some trifles. Her hands are not heavy, and her strength is amazing. As a mage, Li Ou felt that she was much more powerful than Lu Yuewu. He even thought that she absolutely had the strength to carry him down directly downstairs, and Lu Yuewu could not do this.
He was rudely thrown on the sofa. Every wound is groaning in pain, and every muscle is trembling and howling. Cold sweat soaked my clothes. He clenched his teeth and tried not to make a sound, but the healing wound burst and the blood soaked his shirt.
"Rosie!" Lu Yuewu shouted loudly.
Panic and self-reproach flashed in the female mage's eyes. What are you doing? Do you feel sad?" She quickly withdrew her sight from Leo, but her mouth was still hard. Don't worry, he won't die. Since you are so worried, you can take care of him. I won't hinder your good deeds." The more she spoke, the more angry she became. In the end, she couldn't see any chagrin and left the living room angrily.
Li Ou gasped, and the pain made his face pale. Lu Yuewu carefully lifted him up and sat down. She unbuttoned her shirt and examined his wound. How's it going? How's it going?" Lu Yuewu asked worriedly.
"I can't die."
"How could she do this?"
Li Ou squeezed his mouth tightly and was silent. Change your clothes, and then we will go out." He told the female swordsman.
"No re-drug?"
He grabbed his clothes without Lu Yuewu reaching out and holding them on. When it was his turn to buckle the button, his hands were shaking and trembling, and his fingers were not even stable. But he finally got it dressed. No need." He said firmly and stood up.
"What about Rosie?" Lu Yuewu asked.
The alchemist looked at the closed door and shook his head in silence. He doesn't know what to say. Leave her alone." That's what he decided." Miss Ivira." He quickly turned his head to the silent Miss Bachelor.
Ah? What? I'm here, I'm listening." She suddenly raised her head, with a panicked face and a confused look.
Is she the same as the moon dance? She doesn't know how to deal with herself because of the words of the day? They are still embarrassed, and Rosie's reaction is adding fuel to the flames. But Leo found that he couldn't say anything and couldn't say anything. I can only hope that time can smooth out the waves in my heart as soon as possible and make everything return to normal.
The alchemist turned away and said, "You can join us. We need your knowledge."
"Oh, oh, get out. OK, OK. Get out." Miss Bachelor said in a panic, "I'm going to change my clothes, very quickly. Asha." She called the lame maid, "Find the clothes, sky blue skirt... No, wait, where are we going, Leo? Oh, okay, Asha, I need short clothes..." Miss Bachelor finally chose a white shirt with brown trousers. She pedaled a pair of horse boots, with long blonde hair tied with a ponytail hanging behind her head, looking heroic. All you need is an elegant sword and a good horse to become a real female knight.
"The female knight who can't use swords." Prince Oberon commented.
When he said this, he was standing outside the tall wall of the prison, wrapped in an old numb robe, and a wide-brimmed round hat roughly covered the outline of his face. If you don't look closely, these dark Valians can't tell the difference in their eyes.
"She is a bachelor." Leo told the prince.
"I know, how can I forget it. She swore this on the day of the trial.
His anger is still unsed. The kings are all stingy. Scholars all think so. She can help. Her knowledge can come in handy, and she knows more than me. No one dares to boast that he knows all the curses, but the bachelor is different.
The word curse seems to have magic. The prince was silent for a moment and sighed, "Ladies, come too." He is like a drooping old man with his back. Since I believe in the alchemist, I naturally won't doubt your loyalty to him.
When he visited the dungeon again after ten days, it was difficult for him to explain how he felt at the moment. However, Lu Yuewu looked around from time to time, as if looking for the cell where he used to live.
In a single room not far from where he lived before, the night witch was sitting in the corner with her knees in her arms and crying in a low voice. She finally looks like a girl. Her hair is messy, but it is no longer a shining purple, but a slightly yellow light brown, and her skin has also faded its magic lines, showing a paleness that has not been seen for a long time. She is finally normal.
The prince motioned the jailer to open the prison door.
Hearing the sound of the iron gate, the girl seemed to be frightened. She curled up in the corner in horror, shrinking tighter and trembling. Don't be afraid, Nianta." The prince stretched out his hand to her. But this only makes the girl hide further. They should be glad that this is a narrow cell, not a wide sea. Otherwise, she will definitely jump into the waves, even if she can't swim.
Although the prince tried his best, the girl always lowered her head, avoiding his hands and resisting his closeness. Why is she still like this, alchemist?" The prince asked distressedly, "Isn't she no different from other girls? Why has she been doing this to me? She doesn't seem to have any memory of the past.
"Teven years have passed, Your Highness. That's been too long." The alchemist's voice seemed to evoke a little memory of the girl. She secretly raised her head and looked at him. You and I can't still remember what happened seven years ago. What's more, she took off the cloak of magic and the disguise of the devil, and now she is like an ordinary 17- or 18-year-old girl. Seven years ago, she was only eleven or twelve years old. What can she remember? Leo has no expectations for this.
"But in this case, we can't ask anything and know nothing." The prince's eyes burned with flames of anger. Who on earth hurt her? I have to figure it out. Who is so vicious that he inflicted the curse on Nianta?
When he calmed down his anger, Li Ou asked doubtfully, "Nianta? Has her identity been confirmed?
"I can't think of anyone else wearing a golden boat." He took out the gold chain from his pocket. She is the daughter of the Count of the Golden Boat, Nianta, and I won't be wrong. Looking at her eyes, she has a pair of sapphire blue eyes, exactly like my little princess, my wife, who is the sister of the Count of the Golden Boat. A pair of unforgettable beautiful eyes. How can I admit my mistake? The prince looked excited. How can I watch her suffer? Seven years, seven years, she has been suffering and is by my side, but I don't know anything about it and even want to kill him. If not, if it weren't for you..." He clenched his fist, "Who is so cruel? Alchemist, who dared to do this, and who cursed her? How did all this happen? How did she become an unknown... Night, Night Witch..."
The girl was frightened by the prince's shouting. She threw herself into Leo's arms and hid her head in his arms. The enemy of life and death a few days ago now regards him as a support. I don't know this, and she won't know." Leo didn't push her away. But spells must have spellers, and they can't do it themselves.
"The curse will not happen for no reason, there are always some reasons." Miss Bachelor agreed softly, "Has anything happened?"
"Everything is calm. Except for the death of the Count and his wife of the Golden Boat.
"Dead violently?"
"But we can't find the cause of death. It seems that we died because of the disease. But now, I'm starting to feel that it's because of magic. The prince said distressedly, "After a long time, I have to reinterrove one by one." He sighed heavily. He looked at the frightened girl and asked softly, "When do you say she will get better... I mean, at least to a normal girl."
"Maybe a few months, maybe years." Miss Bachelor told the prince, "Spiritually, her development level may be relatively low, which is only equivalent to a child about ten years old. You can't ask too much."
"This is taken for granted."
"She will recover slowly, but you can't scare her anymore. She will remember you eventually, but now, her mind is still confused. You also know what she has done in the past seven years, and these memories will not disappear for no reason.
The prince swallowed, "That is to say, she will think of those terrible things?" He asked worriedly, "So will the curse recur?"
Li Ou and Miss Bachelor looked at each other, and they quickly avoided each other's sight.
"I can't explain." The alchemist replied.
"Unless the caster casts a spell for her again. But that's almost impossible. No one can get close to your palace, right? Miss Bachelor's words reassure the prince a little. But just in case, you'd better let her wear a wedge stone - the kind used by Leo - which is very expensive, but it should not be a problem for you.
"Is there anything else?"
"I can't let her live here. The night witch is afraid of the dawn. Let her live in the tower as much as possible, with plenty of light, away from dark rooms and shadows, and the room burns red poplar all the time.
Prince O'Beron's tone suddenly became sad. I will remember your warning, Miss Bachelor. But isn't there a way to do it once and for all?"
"Of course, and it's very simple..." Her words suddenly stopped, because a footstep suddenly came from the cell and was coming towards them.
"Who is it?" Prince Oberon asked loudly.
The man came out of the corner, and the torch on the wall lit up his face.
-Baron Alanbert?
