"Um...kid, is it over...?"
The old orc's voice pulled He Wen back from the system prompts.
He took off his mask and gloves, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and said.
"It's over, old gentleman, can you try taking two steps?"
The old orc was shocked at first when he saw such a long scar on his abdomen, but when he slowly got down to the ground, his expression changed.
He found that his legs were no longer lame, and even if he didn't use a stick, he could stand without any difficulty.
Not only that, he felt like he was breathing easier.
More importantly, his eyes can see clearly now.
"Child, kid, what on earth am I...?"
The old orc looked at He Wen in surprise.
In fact, He Wen was quite surprised, because after the old orc woke up, his body had already begun to change. The old hair fell away on its own, and the originally dry skin became radiant again, and he even grew taller. Quite a few.
When the hair on his face fell away, He Wen discovered that the old orc had turned into a tall, middle-aged man in his forties.
"Elder!!"
The orcs outside couldn't bear it anymore. They didn't know what He Wen was doing to their elders, and they all roared inside.
"Be quiet."
Shalia's voice also came from outside the house.
"No, Shalia, let them in."
He Wen shouted towards Shalia.
So the next moment, several orc men rushed into the house.
At first they were a little scared when they saw the blood on the table and the rotten bones on the ground, but when they saw the completely changed old orc, they were all shocked beyond measure.
"You, you...who are you?"
One of the younger orc men pointed at the old orc and said.
"Harika, you kid, you don't even recognize me anymore!?"
The old orc glared at the young man and roared. After roaring, even he was surprised.
His voice was full of energy, and he sounded exactly like a young orc.
"You...are you an elder?"
The older orc said with some difficulty.
"What's the matter, old man, are you so surprised to see me?"
The old orc reached out and patted the elder orc on the shoulder, and then he noticed that he was so much taller than these orcs. Not only that, even his outstretched hand was very strong, not at all like He was so dry and skinny before.
"Elder!? You, are you really an elder!? How did you become like this!?"
"Oh my God, this, is this really you?!"
"What has become of me?!"
The old orc also became anxious.
So an orc brought a basin of water over, and the old orc took a look at his own appearance reflected in the basin.
It was a resolute and handsome face, the way he looked when he was young.
Tears began to blur his eyes, and he raised his hand over and over to touch his cheek, as if to confirm whether this was a dream.
"Oh my God, a miracle, a miracle!!"
After confirming that it was not a dream, the old orc, no, it should be called the tall orc, finally burst into tears.
"This is no miracle."
He Wen took a sip of water on the table and said to the tall orc a little tiredly.
"It's the power of medicine, of course, but also some... magical power."
thump--
The tall orc suddenly knelt at He Wen's feet.
"Child, no! Benefactor!! You are my great benefactor, Hagu!!"
He Wen almost choked because of his sudden move and hurriedly helped him up.
But this guy is now strong enough to go out.
Even if He Wen tried to pull him with both hands, he couldn't move him at all. In the end, Shalliya came over and said softly.
"Get up, Hagu, the master doesn't need you to be like this."
"Lady Shalia..."
Hagu raised his head, his face already covered with tears.
"I never thought that I could regain my life. It was you who brought this god. It was you, Lady Shalia, who saved me again."
"He is not a god, he is my companion."
Shallya hugged He Wen's arm expressionlessly.
The corners of He Wen's mouth twitched. If this witch can't speak, she should shut her mouth quickly.
But at this moment, He Wen seemed to understand.
I am obsessed with medicine just because I want to save more suffering people.
And this behavior should not be limited to humans. In this world, too many lives are suffering, and they do not have the Holy Religion to spread the gospel to them.
If you really want to change the world, you must not sit idly by and ignore these beings.
............
At the same time, deep in the forest.
Eve, who ran out in anger, felt very complicated at this time.
She hated orcs, more than anyone else.
Because she knew that these monsters were always so bloodthirsty and loved killing lives.
They take pleasure in torturing humans, even children, and now I am in their village?
But I can't force Dr. He Wen to have the same idea as me.
"Sure enough, I'd better leave by myself."
Eve slowly stood up and sighed.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of branches being trampled down from behind.
Eve suddenly pulled out her sword and pointed it backward.
"who."
"Woo!"
Behind a big tree, the little elf girl seemed to have no time to hide herself, and was caught by Eve.
"Shireen?"
After finding out it was Shireen, Eve put away her sword.
She asked as she walked up to the elf and looked at her.
"Why did you follow me out?"
"He, Lord He Wen, I, I'm coming, following you, I'm afraid, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
The elf girl explained to Eve in bad language that she knew that Eve was a good person. She had tried her best to protect He Wen before, and was critically injured because of it.
But she still gets scared unconsciously.
The moment Eve pointed the sword at her, she really felt like she was going to be killed.
"...I'm sorry for making you worry."
Eve touched Shireen's hair.
Although she had heard of the practice of selling elves among humans and using them as slaves or even livestock, she had never seen one.
In fact, Eve only saw the elf once, and she had a glimpse of it from a distance in the forest.
Then when she searched again, she only found traces of where the elves once lived.
"So I've always been curious about why you elves are so elusive."
Eve, who sat down with Shireen against the big tree, began to tell the elf girl about the elf she had seen.
"Hazard, fear...because, fear..."
"Fear?"
Eve was a little confused.
"Why should you be afraid? I just want to talk to the elves. After all, you are an ancient and wise race."
"Being, being, seen by humans, would be, would be killed, would be, would be taken away, would...be...slave."
At the end of the story, Shireen's eyes were filled with fear, as if she had returned to that underground prison where no light had ever been seen.
Eating unpalatable food every day and stripping off their clothes, like livestock, humans want to numb their sense of resistance and turn them into tools that can only please themselves.
Eve doesn't quite understand.
She asked looking at Shireen.
"Where did you hear that? Humans don't kill other races casually. This should be a rumor..."
At least when she was on patrol, she would help anyone she met who needed help, including foreigners.
But the elf girl shook her head violently, and then lifted her clothes towards Eve.
Then Eve froze.
Because she saw that the girl's petite and thin body was covered with scars, including marks from whips, bruises, knife wounds, and even... teeth marks.
Eve gasped.
"Are these...made by humans?"
Shireen nodded.
Eve squeezed her hands tightly, why, why would someone do such a thing, why would someone take pleasure in hurting other lives?
No, no, no, maybe not.
Maybe Shirin misunderstood, she saw it wrong, how could humans harm other alien races? Humans are...
Suddenly, she thought of what the orc girl named Hal said before.
I am blindly denying the facts. Isn't this a kind of escape...
