Chapter 1826 Your Name?
Chapter 1826 Your Name?
"I……"
The woman's face was blank, and her eyes were full of confusion.
After a long wait, she finally spoke hesitantly:
"I...I don't know either..."
"But this child is definitely related to me, and I must protect him!"
Florence raised an eyebrow, revealing layers of wrinkles on her forehead, a testament to the vicissitudes of time.
She changed to a gentler tone and slowly began to speak:
"If you can tell us your identity, I think we should help you and work together to protect this child."
Sensing the kindness emanating from the old woman of the spirit race, the woman gradually lowered her guard.
It seems they believed Florence's story.
However, Arthur and his companions waited for quite a while but still didn't get the information they wanted.
All that followed was a woman's incredibly painful words:
"I forgot……"
"Forgot?" Florence suppressed her surprise and continued to gently comfort her:
"It's okay, don't worry."
"Think slowly, tell us what you can think of, and maybe we can help you recall it."
"Don't worry, our Eldar are recognized as a neutral race in the universe and rarely antagonize other races."
"I know you are the Spirit Race..." The woman's thoughts drifted, as if she was trying hard to recall:
"But besides this, I can't seem to remember anything else..."
"You haven't even forgotten your own name, have you?" Sun Ying blinked, looking surprised.
"I...I think I really forgot..." The woman hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Arthur hissed and turned to look at Sun Ying, saying:
"You said before that you found her in the Extreme Starfield?"
"Was she the only one at that time?"
"Yes, just her." Sun Ying nodded in confirmation.
"Holding a child in her arms, her body was completely wrapped in white thorns made of pure energy."
"At first I thought it was some kind of alien creature... I observed it for quite a while before daring to get closer."
"No pursuers or anything?" Arthur pressed on.
"No." Sun Ying spoke rapidly:
"Not only were there no pursuers, but there wasn't even a large meteorite to be found within a radius of ten thousand miles; it was completely empty."
"Can't even find a large piece of meteorite?" Arthur frowned slightly.
"Are you sure you're going to the Extreme Star Region? It doesn't seem as desolate as you described..."
"I had something to do, so I took this back path on purpose..." Sun Ying avoided eye contact with Arthur, appearing somewhat evasive.
"Is it a task given to you by that powerful race that has taken care of you for twenty years?" Arthur realized in his heart and asked casually, not expecting Sun Ying to provide any more information.
As expected, Sun Ying's answer directly confirmed his conjecture and brought the topic to a close.
"Yes……"
"Oh, Your Majesty, please don't ask any more questions. That powerful race has no ill intentions towards our Spirit Race."
"On the contrary, what they do can, to some extent, ensure the survival of the Eldar."
“Understood, I won’t ask any more questions.” Arthur nodded, then looked back at the woman on the bed, steer the conversation back on track:
"It seems that to learn more about your situation, we will need to investigate further in the Extreme Star Region."
"But don't worry, before we fully understand your situation, our Spirit Clan will do our best to take care of you and this child."
Upon hearing this, the woman's face showed gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you..."
"However, there's something I must say upfront." King Arthur changed the subject:
“We Eldar can provide care for you and your children, but we cannot provide you with absolute protection.”
"In other words, if a powerful enemy comes knocking, we may not be able to protect you."
"After all, you are already a god."
“If you have enemies, they must be gods. I can’t possibly drag the entire Spirit Race to fight to the death for you.”
“Hmm…I understand.” The woman nodded, then added:
"But I shouldn't have any enemies..."
"How can you be so sure you don't have any enemies?" Sun Ying interjected from the side.
"It's quite possible you've forgotten?"
"When I met you, I didn't see any serious injuries on your head. How did you manage to lose your memory?"
"Besides, Grandma Florence, you were clearly capable of curing her, but you were so hesitant and said you couldn't..."
"Excessive modesty is also a form of showing off!"
Florence's smirk, combined with the loose skin on her cheeks, made her look exactly like a speechless lapdog.
"I haven't even started treating her yet."
"She woke up on her own after we had a full check-up and gave her some energy."
“I’ve emphasized this from the beginning: I don’t understand Nizi’s condition and I have absolutely no ability to cure her.”
"Still being modest even now, Grandma Florence..." Sun Ying's lips curled slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"You were able to tell she was a virgin, which means you're quite capable!"
"Just accept this praise from a junior!"
Arthur glanced sideways at Sun Ying, silently complaining to himself:
"Are you praising Ms. Florence's superb medical skills?"
"You're praising this woman for being a virgin, aren't you? You jealous fool!!"
"Before, when I heard people say the child was their biological child, I looked as ashen-faced as if I'd eaten shit; now that I know she's a virgin, I'm so happy I could practically snot bubble from my nose!"
"Sigh... A broken family of origin is truly harmful. It not only changed a perfectly good girl's orientation, but also made her personality so strange..."
As an old man who had lived for nearly four hundred years, Florence naturally understood the fundamental reason for the drastic change in attitude of Sun Ying, a junior of the Spirit Clan.
He rolled his eyes, ignored him, and continued to speak softly to the woman on the bed:
"There is no need to worry too much. My king is just informing you of the worst-case scenario in advance."
“We will do our best to conceal your whereabouts. You can rest and recuperate in Elford and slowly recall your origins.”
“That’s right!” Sun Ying echoed immediately.
"Even if the Spirit Clan doesn't protect you, I, Sun Ying, will still protect you!"
"After all, I was the one who picked you up, so I'll definitely take responsibility for you to the end!"
Florence: "..."
Arthur: "..."
The woman on the bed seemed not to have caught up with the conversation; her thoughts were still lingering on Florence's first words, and she murmured to herself:
"To inform them in advance... the worst-case scenario...?"
"I feel like I've heard those words somewhere before... they sound familiar..."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously held their breath, waiting for what was to come.
as predicted,
After a not-so-brief moment of thought, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said:
"Those words remind me of a person's name!"
"A name that is very important to me!"
