Chapter 126 Lathel... Which option will you choose?
Lathel was startled awake when he heard the sound of lightning. He raised his head and looked outside his window.
It was raining heavily outside, as if someone had placed an entire lake in the clouds.
Lathel sighed, he felt an incomprehensible sense of peace in his heart.
He was lying in bed and covering himself with a warm blanket while holding a lovely little girl in his arms.
These things made the heavy rain outside even more romantic.
Lathel stretched and wanted to go back to sleep when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Knock! Knock!
"Young master, are you still awake?"
Lathel recognized the voice as Akna\'s. He found it difficult to understand why she was looking for him at this late hour.
However, he still replied: "Is something wrong?"
"Sorry, Young Master, for bothering you at such a late hour, but there is a problem that needs your attention."
"Heh?!" Listening to Akna, he felt that something was wrong, but he still put on a cotton robe and went out.
The door opened, and Akna stood in front of him, wearing an alternating white and black nightgown with a large white bow on her chest that made her look extremely adorable.
Lathel was surprised when he saw Akna like this. He thought that Akna was the type of person who would never use cute things.
But maybe he was wrong. Akna was still like other girls, who like cute things.
Akna looked at Lathel, and her face turned red. But she immediately came to her senses, bowed her head, and said: "Master, I\'m sorry to bother you at such a late hour, but there is something you need to deal with."
Lathel nodded: "Did something happen?"
Akna took Lathel with her and spoke as she walked: "It\'s not really an important matter, but... I think you should meet her to understand."
"She?" Although Lathel was confused, he still followed Akna.
Arriving at the entrance of the castle, Lathel saw Claire carrying Malina on her back, both of them were wet and covered in wounds.
Especially Malina, whose condition was even more dire; her face was completely deformed. If it weren\'t for her dress, he would have thought it was someone else.
"You…"
Lathel was about to say something when Claire immediately knelt on the ground. She cried and said: "Lathel… please… please… save my master."
"As long as you save my master, I\'ll do anything you want . Even if you want me dead, I won\'t refuse."
Lathel was so surprised that he could only stay silent for a few seconds. Then, as his brain also began to become more alert, he immediately spoke up.
"Alright! Come inside, it\'s raining so hard outside. Why did you leave her outside?
Lathel felt a bit uncomfortable about this so he questioned Akna.
Akna shook her head and said, "Sorry master, I also asked her to come in, but no matter what I said, she just wanted to see you first."
Lathel sighed: "Okay! Bring her into the house."
"No! Lathel, please… save my master."
Lathel frowned, he could only signal Akna to get to work. Akna, of course, knew what Lathel wanted; she clapped her hands, and immediately two other maids appeared.
They brought Claire and Malina into the house and took them to another room.
Claire was also too tired, she had carried Malina for too long, almost an entire night without resting.
Combined with the heavy rain and her injuries, Claire was almost completely exhausted. That\'s why she could only let the two maids carry her away.
Malina and Claire were placed on a bed in an empty room.
Lathel had now finished listening to Claire\'s story. He didn\'t think that Alec would be so cold.
In his mind, the main characters must be people who love justice, are brave, and are willing to help others at any cost.
But Alec is the complete opposite.
Wait! Lathel seems to have in mind a different type of protagonist, one that has become more popular as online literature develops.
That\'s right, that kind of petty, murderous, cold and cool main character.
It seems like everyone doesn\'t like a main character who is a good person or who treats people well.
Lathel once heard netizens say that it was a \'Dark Protagonist\' style. Even though this is a dark and petty male protagonist, many people like it.
Why?
Because that type of main character is more similar to normal people. And story readers often seek comfort, and that comfort can only come from the \'Dark Protagonist\' type.
But Lathel thought that Alec will save Malina. One must know that Malina is very beautiful, and smart, moreover she will be of great help to him.
Even her maid, Claire, is beautiful. If he had saved Malina, then he would have had two beauties who were absolutely loyal to him.
So… why didn\'t Alec save Malina?
\'Could it be... in his heart, only benefits can help him save Malina?\'
Lathel had already listened to Malina\'s story. It can be said that Malina is really pitiful.
Although he didn\'t know exactly why Mardian did this, after all, Malina was his daughter, but this was clearly an opportunity for Alec to harvest two beauties.
Lathel sighed and said: "I am not a Pharmacist Enchanter, but I will invite the best doctor to treat you."
Claire lay on the bed and shook her head and said: "The doctor at Enchanter Tower has examined her. They said…"
Claire recounted what the doctor said. At this point, Lathel knew why Alec couldn\'t save Malina.
The cost of treatment is so high that Alec currently has no money. He even owes money to many people.
He can\'t even take care of himself, so how can he take care of other people?
Lathel nodded: "I understand, don\'t worry, I will tell my teacher, she will definitely..."
"I also know."
"AAA!!!!" Lathel was startled and shouted: "Teacher! Don\'t startle me, okay?"
He didn\'t know when Lilith appeared next to him, he didn\'t even hear the sound of the door opening.
"Heh?!" Lilith was now wearing an extremely adorable blue nightgown that suited her perfectly.
She tilted her head to look at him: "I\'ve been following you since you left the room."
Lathel was stunned, he then looked at the clothes Lilith was wearing: "Why... are you wearing these clothes?" Why are you here?"
Hearing Lathel\'s question, Lilith pouted and said: "You don\'t care about me. Now that I am here you are not happy, instead you question me like a criminal."
"Huhuhu… Lathel hates me, I don\'t want to be here anymore."
"Are you staying here?" Lathel asked in confusion. He looked towards Akna, hoping to get a reasonable answer.
Seeing that, Akna also nodded and explained: "Master has allowed the Fifth Elder to stay here. After all, this place is very large. More people here will make this castle less empty."
"Besides... Your teacher staying here is more convenient for you to practice, so you don\'t have to go to the Enchanter Tower."
Hearing that, Lilith nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, I\'m just worried that you\'re lazy."
Lathel: (  ̄  ̄ |||)
He sighed, feeling a bit tired. He thoughtthat when he came home, he could escape Lilith, but in the end, she ended up living in the same house with him.
"Heh?! You... what\'s with that disappointed face? Don\'t you like me being here?" Lilith pouted, her eyes were wet as if she was about to cry.
"Okay, wherever you want, we should worry about saving Malina first."
"Huh! In the past, she deceived you many times, and even had bad intentions towards you. why do you want to save her?"
"This…" Lathel wanted to say something but he didn\'t know how to say it.
Hearing this, Claire worriedly said: "Please, what happened before was my master\'s mistake. You can beat me, kill me, but... please, save my master."
"Silence! You have no right to speak up." Lilith said arrogantly.
Lathel sighed and said: "Okay, Lilith, we should save Malina first."
"No! Unless there\'s a good reason." Lilith firmly refused as she did not want to treat Malina.
Lathel glanced at Malina, he saw her miserable appearance, and felt a little pity in her heart.
Lathel shook his head and said: "In fact, although Malina has bad intentions towards me, she hasn\'t succeeded yet."
"Besides… looking at her now, she\'s very pitiful. Not only was she abandoned by her clan, but Alec also abandoned her. Lilith, I still want to save her."
"But her current condition is very bad. Just saving her life requires collecting a lot of medicinal herbs. I can\'t do it in a short time." Lilith sighed and said.
Lathel also felt desperate when he heard that. He also heard what Claire said.
Not to mention other ingredients, just the ingredients to prepare the \'Reborn Bone Pill\' were extremely difficult to find.
No matter how much money you have, it is difficult to gather all those medicinal herbs in a short time.
Claire also started to cry at this time, she didn\'t think that even the Elder of Enchanter Tower would have no way to save Malina.
"However…" Lilith suddenly continued: "I have two options that can save her."
"What?!" Lathel was a bit surprised, he immediately asked: "What are they?"
Lilith glanced at Malina, then looked at Lathel and said: "First option, I will keep her alive until we can gather all the necessary medicinal herbs."
"Of course, this plan can only save her. As for her face, there is still a way to recover, but that way is very difficult, you don\'t need to think about it."
"The second option, which is \'Original Spirit Water\', only two drops are enough to save her and even restore her face."
"However, you should remember that \'Original Spirit Water\' is very rare. One drop has an extremely high value, even masters over level 100 will risk their lives to compete for it."
"Besides, the medicine to help you improve your physical strength also requires \'Original Spirit Water\', but you only have three drops."
"Lathel… Which option will you choose?"
