Chapter 9 Its a doctor! (12)
When Ella woke up, she found herself lying in the girl's cabin. Amy was holding a wet towel and squatting beside the bed and wiping her forehead. Rurik and Hezekiah were sitting in a chair talking about something. The fainting pirates seemed to have just woken up not long ago, sitting against the wall to recover their strength.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Hearing Amy's voice, Liurik and Hezekiah turned their heads together. Liurik beat him and haha: "King of Sweden, you owe me a huge favor this time!"
Although Ella had fainted when Liurik arrived, Ella could still guess what was going on. She held up half of her body from the bed and owed slightly to Liurik to thank him.
She soon discovered that the girl was not inside the house
"Where is Paracelsus?"
Ella gave Amy a questioning look.
Amy replied with some embarrassment: "She was taken away by the magician. Lürik and I chased him far away, and neither of them were found."
A trace of haze floated across Ella's face. Just as she was about to say something, countless footsteps suddenly came from outside the house. Someone heard outside shouting: "The lights are on! The invaders are here! Surround the house immediately!"
"Don't move! Put down your weapons and surrender!"
Several soldiers from the island republic kicked the door and rushed in. But as soon as they saw the Grand Duke Novgorod and the Khan of Khasa Khan were sitting right inside the house, they were so scared that they threw away the weapons in their hands, and obediently left the wooden house again, and closed the door.
This attitude was completely different from when they surrounded Ella before.
"I stripped them naked this afternoon and threw them into the sea." said Lurik. "I went for a walk in their military camp, and they surrounded me and pointed my sword at me!"
"I'm not that rude." Hezekiah shrugged, "just burned the clothes that Rurik had taken off in a fire."
After a while of turmoil outside the house, Giovanni pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Ella, he asked unhappily: "King of Sweden, why are you here? Is this an illegal invasion?"
"I have graduated from Alchemy University and obtained the qualification of a tutor according to regulations, so I can naturally go to and from the university." Ella briefly dismissed Giovanni's question, "And the invaders are not us - you came just right, and you will report to your governor immediately, and say that the magicians of the Tianfang Empire have sneaked into the capital of the Island Republic!"
"The magician of the Tianfang Empire?" Giovanni glanced at Ella and the pirates lying on the wall, and smiled mockingly, "Are you being beaten by the magician of the Tianfang Empire?"
As soon as Giovanni finished speaking, a "boom!" sounded, and a lightning bolt fell very close to the wall, making a huge noise. Liurik pointed at himself, pointed at Amy and Ella, and then shouted at Giovanni who was frightened by the lightning: "We all together, we have repelled that magician! Before laughing, you should first estimate yourself. What would happen if your governor was attacked by the three of us? Then the magician would attack the King of Sweden, and would not attack you? Your relationship with the Tianfang Empire is so good?"
Giovanni's face turned pale: "I will notify the Governor immediately to strengthen the defense of the capital! What does that magician look like?"
"I am a man, so tall, gray robe, with a Tianfang Empire accent. Because he was covered in his face, I only know so much." Ella gestured for Giovanni on the bed, "Please block the port immediately! One of my companions was captured by him!"
After asking for more details, Giovanni hurriedly left with the soldiers.
"I want to try a fight with that magician!" said Lurik. "I'll go around the streets and maybe I'll meet him!"
"Be careful." Amy was still scared, "that magician's power was better than me."
"I think I'm better than you!" Liurik waved his hand behind, "If I can't beat it, I'll put ten or eight thunders into the air at the same time, and you or the King of Sweden will come to save me!"
After saying that, Liurik forced Hezekiah to leave.
"Amy," Ella said on the bed, "just throw me here, and you can also find the whereabouts of the magician and Paracelsus!"
However, Amy shook her head firmly.
"If I leave here, your Majesty's safety will be completely unguaranteed."
"But……"
Ella lowered her head in a little frustrated.
Although she first went to treat Avicenna to save the arrested alchemists, after discovering that the critically ill nobleman was Anna, her purpose quietly changed. The girl was the doctor she hired for Anna. She was arrested, so no one could go to protect Anna's illness.
Amy saw Ella's thoughts and sighed.
"Your Majesty can ignore His Highness Anna's life and death... Let's take a break first. Your Majesty, the Island Republic and Liurik have all been dispatched. You should get news from Paracelsus tomorrow at dawn."
It's dawn.
The magician was still missing.
Ella rushed into the governor's mansion with a team of guards and shouted at Pattisipacchio, who was lying lazily on the balcony and basking in the sun: "Why not carry out a carpet-style search from house to house?"
"That will arouse dissatisfaction among the citizens. The King of Sweden, I am foresightedly, the only one who is attacking that magician is currently attacking, which does not cause any harm to the island republic. And now it is a peaceful time, and we are still in trade with the Tianfang Empire."
Ella had no choice but to walk out of the Governor's mansion.
There was a cloud that lasted for a long time in the sky.
"Amy...I want to go see Anna again and talk to her."
Ella sat next to Anna for a whole day, but her wish was not fulfilled - Anna was unconscious due to a high fever and did not wake up.
Anna's body had swollen, and pus, blood and sweat hairs formed into ugly small pieces, sticking to her body. Ella took a towel soaked in cold water from Amy's hand and wiped Anna's body over and over again. But no matter how many times she wiped it, pus would immediately flow out of the wound, making Anna dirty.
Dust came to Ella with bloodshot eyes open.
"The King of Sweden..."
He shouted in a thirsty voice, and the rest of the words were evaporated like water in the desert
Ella turned her head and glanced at him, and barely smiled on her face: "My sister ran out of Constantinier this time. You have been taking care of her? Look at your face, it should be the type she likes."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Dust "plopped" and knelt in front of Ella. He lowered his head and tried his best to suppress the sadness in his voice:
"I'm just a liar. I used her wallet to get the hotel, hired a chef with her money, and even the money for asking the doctor to treat her was the bounty she received in Azov. I shouldn't have taken her out of Constantinier. After she was injured, I should have taken her back immediately. Then she could find a better doctor to take care of her. I had never taken care of her. I felt that I could protect her, but gradually she became what she is now."
Although Dust was very restrained, the long list of words still made his eyes wet. He wiped his eyes, slowed down for a while, and then continued, "Look, when something happens, I can only cry here. But why am I crying?"
He looked up at Ella with his swollen eyes, like a sinner who longed for God's redemption in the bottomless abyss:
"King of Sweden, since Anna believes in you, I believe in you too. She may not last a few days, but as long as your doctor brings the medicine, she will be cured, right?"
Ella sighed, threw down the towel and closed her eyes.
It was pitch black ahead and there was no road to see.
Ella bit her lip, but she didn't control her strength and even bit out a trace of blood from her lips.
