Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"Well……"

Accompanied by a painful groan, Silk clenched his teeth unconsciously and slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he only felt that a large area of ​​skin on his body was not painful, and only a few places were painless. The uncomfortable feeling made Silk's face turn pale.

For a brief moment, he remembered that he seemed to have fallen into the snow before losing consciousness.

At that moment, he really felt that he was dead.

Now looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar roof in front of him, Hilke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a hint of joy after escaping from death appeared on his face unconsciously.

The whole mood after that was really a bit complicated.

Needless to say, he owed the other party another life.

"woke up?"

Hearing the noise, the medical staff who was standing by and taking a nap with his hands on his chest stood up, walked up to him, stretched out a finger, and waved it in front of his eyes.

"What's this?"

"finger?"

The medical staff who received this answer nodded.

"It looks like you're awake. Just lie down and I'll call the minister over."

The entire medical department and even the entire village knew about Hilke's previous quarrel about leaving.

Now that he was picked up in such an embarrassing state, they had to waste energy and time on treating him. The people in the medical department were so jealous of him that they had a good attitude towards him. Their attitudes were completely gone from the politeness they had at the beginning.

But Hilke had just woken up at this moment, and his mind was in a mess. He didn't think too much. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he quickly shouted...

"I want to see your leader."

"The leader is not here."

As he spoke, the medical staff left without looking back, leaving only a confused Silke lying on the hospital bed.

When he left before, Zhou Xu didn't tell him that he was leaving too, so Hilke didn't even know that Zhou Xu was not in the village at the moment.

Not to mention that according to his thoughts, the wind and snow on the grassland were getting stronger and stronger, and the blizzard was about to sweep over. If Zhou Xu was not in the village at the moment, where could he go?

Or is it just that the other party is perfunctory?

It was impossible for him to figure out the answer to this question himself.

During this period, after receiving the news that Silke had woken up, the Medical Minister did not deliberately delay. He was unhappy, but he was still not ambiguous when doing things, not to mention that he was very busy all day long. , and I don’t have the time to take my time.

He came quickly, checked Silk's wound quickly, and after giving instructions on how to apply the medicine, was about to turn around and leave quickly. What stood out was that he didn't want to offend him.

But he couldn't resist Hilke's shamelessness and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Wait a minute, please wait a minute!"

"What's up?"

The medical director frowned, a little impatient.

"I want to see your leader."

"The leader is not here."

After the medical minister finished speaking, he was about to leave. Silk, who had no time to think about it, hurriedly spoke again.

"Then who has the final say in the village now? I want to see him!"

"I know, I'll ask someone to inform you."

After that, the medical minister left.

Hilke's request was quickly reported to Ye Jinghong.

The Minister of Medical Care has always only cared about treating the injured. He basically doesn't think much about other things, and he doesn't have the energy to think about it. But Ye Jinghong is different.

After learning that the other party wanted to see the leader first, but the leader was not there, and then wanted to see him again, Ye Jinghong subconsciously came up with a conjecture in his mind.

[Could it be that he discovered something when he went out this time? 】

If there is any important information, it obviously cannot be delayed.

Thinking of this, Ye Jinghong quickly dealt with the work at hand, and then came to Silke.

The appearance of Ye Jinghong surprised Hilke. He did not expect that the person in charge of the village now was Ye Jinghong. After all, in his impression, Li Ce's status was probably higher.

Of course, he didn't care about any of this, so he quickly told Ye Jinghong about the matter.

"In other words, do you think you and other members of your tribe survived?"

"That's right!"

Silke became obviously excited when he talked about this incident. During the incident, he suffered a large area of ​​frostbite on his body, and he grinned in pain.

Ye Jinghong pressed his hand to signal the other party to calm down.

"The wind and snow outside are really strong right now. A blizzard is coming. You must have experienced how dangerous it is outside. You are lucky to be picked up."

"..."

Seeing Hilke who had calmed down a bit and fell silent, Ye Jinghong continued to speak expressionlessly...

"Even if some of your tribe did survive the lizard invasion, I can't possibly let my men go out to look for them at this juncture."

Considering the existence of the lizardmen, there are still more steppe elves alive, which is definitely a good thing for them.

But if you go out at this time, what is the difference between that and sending yourself to death?

For this result, Hilke was mentally prepared in advance.

Ye Jinghong, on the other hand, continued to talk...

"Of course, considering our alliance, I can send a team of people to assist you in the search after the blizzard passes."

As allies, Zhou Xu's performance so far can be said to be almost impeccable.

This made Silk feel as if he would be shameless if he made any demands.

"Thank you."

After a simple thank you, Hilke seemed to have thought of something again and couldn't help but ask.

"By the way, why isn't your leader in the village at this time?"

"Our leader has something to do and is currently in the village on the other side."

"..."

Ye Jinghong's casual reply caused a brief short-circuit in Hilke's brain, and the expression on his face could be fully summarized with the word 'confused'.

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming all of a sudden, and his brain, which had just woken up from a coma and was not yet fully awake, was a little overwhelmed.

"The other village?"

Regarding this matter, Ye Jinghong and the others did not deliberately hide it, but they did not intend to explain it specifically.

"Anyway, just take good care of yourself here. If you run around again, you may not be so lucky to be picked up next time."

Hearing this, Hilke suddenly came back to his senses and quickly asked.

"Who saved me?"

"You were picked up by Chitose-sama."

After speaking, Ye Jinghong waved his hand and left without looking back.

Here in Prairie Village, when many people are still lying on hospital beds, no one with mobility is not busy.

Looking at Ye Jinghong who turned around and disappeared from his field of vision, Hilke, who was lying on the hospital bed, silently wrote down the name.

"Chitose-sama."
