Unspoken Family Matters

"Young man, come in quickly!"

Granny Asha glanced at Ailin with a smile.

In another perspective.

The elf "Grandma Asha" lowered her gaze to look at the mirage on Ailin's chest. She put her long and smooth index finger against her mouth and made a gentle gesture to stop the sound.

Ailin was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Francesca and nodded.

Grandma Asha smiled even more, took Ailin's arm, and welcomed him into the room.

Entering the room, Ailin immediately saw the old man lying on the bed.

He was as skinny as a stick and looked sluggish, but his eyes were exceptionally clear, as if the pure eyes of a young man were on the face of an old man.

He was looking at Granny Asha with loving eyes, watching her come back step by step.

And unlike Granny Asha, this old man is real, not an illusion.

He is an old human male.

What surprised Ailin even more.

From Wolf Emblem's magic perspective, although the end point of the black magic point was obscured by the quilt, it seemed to be on the person's chest.

Who are these two people?

No!

Should I say who are this human and the elf named Granny Asha?

Ailin is confused.

[Ada Emin: Find a human couple in the village near Ban Ad and help them leave Kedwen safely!]

[Ailin: There are human couples everywhere here. Where to find them?]

[Ada Emin: You'll know when you meet them!]

Red-haired Elf's words suddenly appeared in my mind.

Ailin looked at the old man and Granny Asha.

He had a strong hunch that the "human" couple he was looking for were the two people in front of him.

Especially Granny Asha, who has the ability to simulate the illusion of the entire Hundred Fruit Garden, and her status in the elves must be very prominent, so it makes sense for Ada Emin to come to the rescue.

Just...

Can Hundred Fruit Garden in the fantasy world also be considered a village near Ben Ad?

If he hadn't possessed the ability of Wolf Emblem, who would have thought that the village where the "human couple" was hiding was actually in an abandoned mine.

[Ailin: Who are you? What commission? Why are you looking for me?]

[Ada Emin: Destiny chose you.]

Destiny chose me...

Destiny...

Ailin couldn't help but sigh.

Is Ada Emin a prophet?

In the original book, although she is Aine Savini, Ailin seems to have never seen her show the ability to predict.

And if Ada Emin is really that powerful, how could the elves of Valley of Flowers be abandoned after being wantonly used by Nilfgaard?

Ailin shook his head in his mind, no longer thinking about these questions for which he could not figure out the answers for the time being.

The key now is to send these two people out Kedwen.

Ailin glanced at the old man who was seriously ill in bed and seemed unable to even get up, and thought to himself:

"You are so weak, can you leave here through the portal?"

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well, so I won't get up to greet you."

Seeing Ailin and Francesca walking in, he smiled kindly.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Ailin and Francesca shook their heads.

"Asha, I remember that Viscount gave us two pieces of cake this morning. Take them out quickly and invite the two distinguished guests to try them."

"Okay, okay."

Grandma Asha patted the quilt on the old man's body as if coddling a child, and smiled kindly at the two people who looked at a loss.

Then he took out two pieces of cream cake from the cabinet next to him, put them on the table, and greeted Ailin and Francesca warmly.

Grandma Asha looks like a kind grandmother from an ordinary family now.

It was a rare visit to the house for a little guest, so I happily took out all the snacks and food that I usually couldn't bear to eat.

Just from the mirage perspective of Ailin,

The role of "grandma" has changed from the appearance of an old lady to a young and beautiful female elf, which seems a bit inconsistent.

"No need, Ah...Granny Asha."

"We came here to..."

"Eat the cake first!" Granny Asha interrupted Francesca's hurried words.

The tone is gentle but cannot be refuted.

Francesca's tone was stagnant. After looking at the expressionless Ailin, he could only do as he was told.

The cake is not an illusion, it is very fragrant and sweet.

It's true that the witchers and elves haven't eaten all day.

Therefore, under the kind eyes of the two old people, it only took them three minutes to finish the whole cake.

"Granny Asha, are you the master of this illusion?"

Francesca asked nervously, clutching the corner of his clothes.

Granny Asha smiled and nodded.

Francesca heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked impatiently:

"Then do you know an elf named Sadia? She has the same blue eyes and dark golden hair as me..."

The more Francesca described it, the weirder Ailin's expression became.

Isn't this what Granny Asha looks like under the illusion?

However, the elf who looked very much like Francesca looked at him from time to time, making him afraid to remind him aloud.

At this moment.

"Sorry, I made you laugh!"

A voice like a whisper in the breeze sounded from Ailin's brain.

He was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and met a pair of blue eyes.

At some point, the illusion on Granny Asha was lifted.

Ailin glanced at Francesca instinctively.

"Valley Daisy" is still trying his best to describe the appearance of Sadia to Granny Asha.

"Don't worry, Enid can't see us."

Enid?

Is this the nickname of Francesca?

"No, this is Enid's original name. Her Elder Speech name is Enid·Ann Galina, which means 'Valley Daisy'."

Huh?

Is this how Valley Daisy came about?

He always thought it was describing Francesca's beauty, like the daisies blooming in the valley.

Ailin was stunned for a moment.

It is known that Granny Asha and Francesca have similar looks, Granny Asha also knows Elder Speech's original name of Francesca, and Francesca is looking for an elf.

Push directly...

"So you are the Sadia that Francesca is looking for?"

Grandma Asha smiled meaningfully.

"That's not what you want to ask."

Ailin's face turned red, he cursed in his mind about the damn mind-reading skills, and then he immediately emptied his mind.

"But... yes, I am the elf Enid is looking for, and I am also Enid's biological mother - Sadia Ann Galina."

Sadia held up the hem of his burlap skirt and bowed towards him, like a real Elf Princess.

Enid's biological mother?

Ailin was stunned.

He glanced at Francesca and then at the old man on the bed. The expression on his face was a little complicated for a moment.

Although he thought of this possibility, being admitted by the person involved still made Ailin feel embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

No wonder Francesca only said to find an elf, but not who he was looking for.

"Um... Thank you, madam, for helping me heal my wounds the past few days..." Ailin laughed dryly.

"You're welcome, most of the things were done by Enid, and..."

"Besides..." After scanning his eyes up and down, Sadia continued, "Looking at the status of your reply, maybe we don't need to work there in vain, right?"

"Also... what is your relationship with Enid?"

"Are they really siblings? Why don't I remember having a witcher child?"

Transformed from Granny Asha to Sadia.

Francesca's biological mother even spoke in a more direct tone.

Ailin can't handle it at all.

Under Sadia's playful gaze, the demon hunter's scalp went numb.

Who would have thought that Francesca would come up with such an excuse. The key thing is that the identity of the subject is so... sensitive.

Wrong...

This is what Francesca said. What are you asking me to do?

Ailin could only say haha and change the topic to the right track:

"Ms. Sadia, I am Ailin, the demon hunter of School of the Wolf."

"Elven Sage Ada Emin entrusted me to send you and this... er... gentleman safely out of Kedwen."

"As for Francesca... we just happened to run into each other outside the mine. We were traveling together as teammates due to some... um... accidents."

"Did we just meet by accident?" Sadia seemed to have only heard the last words of the demon hunter, "But the way Enid changed your bandages, boiled medicine, and wiped your body was not as simple as a companion you met by accident."

Ailin Silence.

Francesca probably did this out of guilt.

After all, most of Ailin's injuries were caused by her recklessness.

If it weren't for the "hot bath" that Mountain Stone took, the two of them would have passed through Rock Troll's cave.

But then again.

If he could pass so easily, perhaps it would not be Rock Troll who faced those soldiers, but him and Francesca.

It's not necessarily easier than now.

But there is no need to say it so clearly with Sadia and Ailin.

"Stop joking, Ms. Sadia."

"Kedwen's army has already fought with Rock Troll outside. It won't take long for them to fight back."

"We'd better find a way to evacuate quickly."

With that said, Ailin took out the last bottle of "Veridian Sigh" from the reagent bag and said:

"This bottle of magic potion is called 'Veridian Sigh'. It can quickly repair your injuries. Please give it to this gentleman quickly, and then we will leave through the portal."

This was the only way he could think of to let the frail old man leave through the portal.

Although Veridian Sigh is precious, it is obviously not as important as the friendship of the elves.

"Veridian Sigh can indeed heal Hodon physically, allowing him to pass through the portal."

After pondering for a moment, she shook the delicate crystal bottle slightly and asked:

"What is your relationship with Vesemir?"

"I learned alchemy and ritual from Lady Vesemir..." Ailin was stunned for a moment, "But these are not important now. Let him take the potion quickly, and let's leave as soon as possible."

Of course he was curious about the relationship between the elf in front of him and Vesemir.

But now is not the time for small talk or relationship building.

Three days ago, Kedwen's army did not realize that their target was in the mine where they were stationed.

That's not necessarily the case now.

Ailin I'm afraid that the king and the wizard have already reacted and used magic to seal off the area, making it impossible to teleport.

"Let Francesca take you out together." Sadia shook his head and returned Veridian Sigh to Ailin.

"What do you mean?"

The witcher frowned and didn't answer.

"Melekh's Ring of Grudges, this is an evil sacrificial weapon used for tracking," Sadia sighed, "Humans are sacrificed in pain, and demon spirits are reborn in resentment..."

"In order to capture us, King Kedwen teamed up with the wizards of Ben Ad and slaughtered Viscount Hudson's castle."

"Countless humans in the castle died and turned into demon spirits under the wizard's ritual."

"Their resentment has been absorbed by Melekh's Ring of Grudges. As soon as we leave this abandoned mine of Viscount Hudson, we will be tracked by Melesco's resentment ring."

"I can still escape by myself, but Hodon...Hodon can't survive two portals."

"Wait a minute," Ailin captured the key point, "What if all the demon spirits in the castle have passed away?"

"All passed away?" Sadia didn't understand.

"They were all wiped out," Ailin explained. "A few days ago, a Witcher Master from School of the Wolf and I cleaned up all the demon spirits in Viscount Hudson's castle."

Sadia's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he became suspicious:

"Have you all cleaned up?"

"If I remember correctly, as long as more than five demon spirits are eliminated, Melekh's Ring of Grudges will have a violent reaction within a day."

"As soon as Ben Ad's wizard gets the news, he will rush over immediately. You..."

Ailin was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"It only took us half a day to clean up Viscount's castle."

Seeing that the suspicious look on Sadia's face has not faded.

"This is impossible!"

"To eliminate demon spirits, we can only rely on the melting of silver and spirit bodies. There are a total of forty or fifty demon spirits in the castle..."

Ailin did not argue, and immediately recalled the scene where he and Vesemir collected and buried the bones of the victims in the castle.

Sadia's voice stagnated.

Ailin recalled the battle memory of destroying the demon spirit after applying Specter Oil.

"This... what kind of magic potion is this?"

"He actually destroyed the demon spirit with just three swords!"

Sadia is surprised.

"Specter Oil, a small trick of the demon hunter, but these are not important. The most important thing now is that without those demon spirits, can you leave?"

Sadia lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded.

She held "Veridian Sigh" and walked to the old man's side.

"Eh~"

For some reason, Sadia sat down, sighed, then lifted the old man's body and gave him the potion.

At this time.

Francesca also stopped communicating with the illusion of Granny Asha.

She walked to Ailin in despair, lowering her head, as if she did not get a good result.

"What's wrong?" Ailin asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I made a mistake again this time. It seems that what others say about Master of Prophecy is not always effective, right?" Francesca squeezed out a smile.

Ailin couldn't bear it and looked at Sadia instinctively.

But he saw Sadia shaking his head firmly towards him.

"Don't talk about me anymore, have you found your target?" Francesca asked.

After all, this is a family matter.

And Francesca may not be willing to hear news about his mother in this way and in this scenario.

then.

Ailin was silent for a moment, looked at the old man who had gotten up from the bed, and nodded:

"Well, we found them. I will trouble you later to help me escort them away from Kedwen."

Francesca After subconsciously nodding and agreeing, he suddenly realized a problem:

"What about you?"

"Aren't you coming with us?"
