Chapter 1823 Seeking but Not Obtaining?
"I..." Faced with Kratos's cold and inhuman nature, the eighteen-year-old looked conflicted.
After hesitating for a long time, he slowly nodded and said:
"Alright, I agree to entrust my two offspring to you."
"But... not now."
"Not now?" Kratos's brows furrowed, the coldness in his eyes gradually turning into murderous intent.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you expect me to settle things in the Blue Flame Star Sector before you hand over the hostages to me?"
"No, no, no..." The eighteenth elder shook his head repeatedly, denying it:
"I just need time to recall them both and go through the formalities."
"After all, I don't have the final say on the entire Kro tribe, and this time the target of my deception is the Chosen One, Wushe..."
"If we act rashly and attract the attention of others, our entire plan will be ruined."
"You certainly don't want this to happen, right?"
Kratos frowned even more deeply.
He stared into the eyes of the Eighteenth Elder for a long while before speaking again:
"how long?"
……
The other end.
The junction of the Storm Star Field and the Scorching Star Field.
The Eldar homeworld of Urfo.
In a secluded palace somewhere in the Baiyan Mountains.
King Arthur had already changed out of his magnificent robes and into simple casual clothes.
He also sent his entourage outside to serve as guards.
Only a young general remained, accompanied by an old woman of the Spirit Clan with completely white hair and a face full of wrinkles.
The young spirit race general was his adopted son, whom he had raised since childhood. He was calm and kind, and possessed extraordinary talent in combat.
Arthur felt that this boy was remarkably similar to him when he was young, so he intended to nurture him and kept him by his side for many years.
The other old woman from the Spirit Clan was a royal physician who had lived for nearly four hundred years.
Not only does he possess a diamond-grade 'healing' talent, but he has also devoted his life to medicine.
Her tireless research and practice, coupled with nearly four hundred years of accumulated knowledge, gave Ms. Florence a vast reserve of medical knowledge.
A living medical treasure trove!
There's even a good-natured joke circulating in Elford:
It is said that if Ms. Florence were willing, she could completely take control of the ancient power of life and wrestle with Death!
Unfortunately, Florence was only interested in studying medicine and did not devote any energy to improving his own abilities.
If it weren't for King Arthur's strong insistence and the series of 'force-feeding' methods of feeding him elemental crystals,
Florence might still be a player who hasn't even reached level 30 yet and hasn't changed classes!
The young general was brought along because of Arthur's fondness for him.
The reason why the living medical staff member, Ms. Florence, could take time out of her busy schedule was naturally because there were patients here who needed her treatment.
The old woman from the Spirit Clan walked forward shakily to the bedside, her head bowed.
The thick, crystal-clear glasses slipped off her nose and landed precariously on the tip.
A gentle, healing light emanated from his palm, carrying the body temperature of the spirit race, which was slightly higher than that of humans, and gently covered the small chest that was rising and falling slightly.
Florence tilted her head and felt it for a moment, then the corners of her mouth immediately turned up, revealing a series of wrinkles like waves.
She turned to King Arthur and said:
"My lord, the little one is fine. His vital signs are stable, but he is a little weak. He must be hungry."
"Once he wakes up, just give him some breast milk."
Arthur nodded, then turned his gaze slightly to another person.
Florence understood and was about to move closer when he heard a slightly anxious question from behind:
“Breast milk… but where am I supposed to find breast milk for him? I don’t produce any myself…”
Arthur's composed expression froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Florence, however, reacted quickly and immediately replied:
"Find a breastfeeding mother, or you can simply use hot water to brew Lingzhi instead."
"Oh...so you can use spirit fat, right..." The speaker slowed down slightly, but his tone remained anxious:
"What about the other one?"
"The big one is the important one!"
"I see the little one is fine, he's just a bit too sleepy, he didn't wake up on the way here..."
Upon hearing this, Florence's wrinkled old face twitched, and he retorted in a low voice, somewhat angrily:
He's still a baby!
"In my judgment, he may not have been away from the mother planet for more than twenty universes!"
"If breast milk is not replenished in time, the body will naturally choose to go into a dormant state in order to reduce energy consumption!"
"When you were little, you slept even more than him! And you ate even more!"
"Uh...Grandma Florence, please don't get agitated. I just don't have much experience..." Sun Ying blushed and whispered in defense after being scolded.
"I'll settle the score with you later!" Florence exhaled and looked at the woman lying on the other side of the bed.
His brows gradually furrowed.
This time, instead of using the same method she had used to examine the baby, she took out a number of strangely shaped instruments from her personal storage container.
After a series of complicated actions that left everyone bewildered, Florence removed the crystal glasses from the bridge of her nose, her brows furrowing deeply.
"How is she? Is she not doing well?"
Seeing this, Arthur couldn't help but ask.
“It’s not that it’s bad…” Florence replied slowly.
Seemingly to ensure her expression was precise enough, she subconsciously adopted the rigorous attitude she usually displays in academic research, carefully choosing her words:
"...I just don't understand her situation."
"Can't understand?" Sun Ying was startled, and her anxiety grew even stronger.
"If even you, Grandma Florence, can't understand it, then isn't she doomed?"
"No……"
"I quite like her... I didn't expect it to be another unrequited love..."
Florence: "..."
Arthur: “???”
The young Eldar general scratched his head and muttered something under his breath, in a voice only Arthur could hear:
"Aren't they both women?"
Even if this woman is safe and sound, the love that Sun Ying desires will ultimately remain unfulfilled, won't it?
“Ahem…” Arthur coughed lightly, giving his adopted son a look that signaled him not to dwell on this issue any further.
He then turned to Florence and asked:
Is there no way to cure it?
"I don't even understand it, so of course there's no way to cure it!" Florence sighed heavily, forcibly ignoring Sun Ying's anxious remarks, just like Arthur.
“Her condition is very strange; I’ve never seen her like this before.”
"Moreover... it doesn't correspond to the records of the Spirit Race in the past."
"His rank is very high, and he is full of divinity... He has clearly met all the prerequisites for becoming a god, yet he can still remain in the real world..."
"You could even say that her existence is an incredible miracle..."
