#120 - Section 120
Anastasia's face showed a genuine smile, with no trace of her former savagery and brutality.
Mrs. Temani opened her mouth, her eyes slightly red-rimmed.
After a long while, she only managed to say one sentence.
"It's good that you're alright!"
Having been invaded by evil spirits for two or three years, Anastasia and Tresiria both suffered severe mental damage.
If it had been another two years, those evil spirits would probably have started to devour the souls of these two girls.
The soul is the most fundamental power of human beings. Once it is damaged, even a slight injury is extremely difficult to heal.
If the soul is truly damaged, the price to pay for a complete recovery would be ten or even dozens of times more than it is now.
After all, things that can repair the power of the soul are extremely rare in the entire fairy tale world.
It's not something that can be obtained with money.
Although their souls were not damaged, the area of mental damage was too large, so even using healing magic did not completely cure them.
There is still about one-tenth of the mental damage remaining, which needs to be slowly healed with magic potions.
"Mr. Rhode, as long as you can cure my daughters, I can give you any reward."
Mrs. Temani looked at Rhode and pleaded in a low voice.
There is no free lunch in the world, but as long as she can cure her two daughters, she can accept any price.
"Reward? Didn't you already give it just now?"
Rhode glanced at Mrs. Temani indifferently.
"However, treating the two young ladies' illnesses requires a lot of energy and precious materials, so just one time is not enough. I need to be able to enter at any time in the future."
Faced with the harsh conditions proposed by Rhode, Mrs. Temani struggled, hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded in agreement.
She naturally knew what Rhode was referring to.
After all, what else could 'enter' be besides the 'enter' from just now?
Enter the room?
Although the sacrifice was a bit big, she had no choice but to accept it for the sake of her daughters.
As for what she herself was thinking, only she knew.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Rhode left with satisfaction.
The magic potions needed to treat Anastasia and Tresiria were not difficult to concoct.
It's just that some of the required materials were a bit rare. Fortunately, he had stored a lot of magic potion materials in his personal space, otherwise it would have been a bit troublesome for a while.
He spent half an hour concocting two bottles of magic potion.
He diluted the two bottles of magic potion with water into fourteen bottles, and then handed them to Mrs. Temani.
"One dose of potion per day, and they should both be completely recovered in about a week."
Looking at Mrs. Temani, who was full of gratitude, Rhode thought for a while and suddenly asked a question.
"Have you ever experienced anything special when you are angry or emotionally agitated?"
When he was 'pulling the radish' with Mrs. Temani just now, at the peak of her emotions, he keenly noticed a very familiar power from Mrs. Temani.
That power was inadvertently emitted, quite subtle, but he felt it very strongly.
He originally thought he was just imagining things. After all, if Mrs. Temani really had any special power.
With his mental power, it was impossible not to feel it.
However, in a normal state, no matter how he sensed it, Mrs. Temani was just an ordinary person.
But just now, he suddenly remembered where he had felt a similar power before.
Dwarves!
He had felt a similar power in the Dwarf Home when he was blessed by the three dwarves.
A power unique to fairies and elves!
And in Mrs. Temani, he felt a similar power.
It was not from blessings or curses, but a power that inherently belonged to her.
"Special circumstances... I don't seem to remember."
Mrs. Temani frowned, unable to think of anything related for a moment.
After all, she rarely gets angry or has intense emotional fluctuations in her memory.
Suddenly thinking of something, Mrs. Temani paused and continued.
"However, on the day my husband passed away, I fainted for a few days due to excessive grief. After waking up, something did happen. Many animals in the forest next to the manor ran out and surrounded the manor from a distance."
"It took several days for them to disperse."
Husband's death, all the animals in the forest ran out.
Rhode frowned, noting all these details.
Although he didn't understand this kind of thing, he did know a few people who should understand it.
Or rather, dwarves.
Letting the overworked and somewhat exhausted Mrs. Temani rest well, Rhode came alone to a forest not far from the manor.
He took out a whistle from his personal space and blew it gently.
"Why is there no sound?"
Rhode looked at the silent whistle, his face full of speechless expression.
Those three little dwarves wouldn't have given him a fake whistle, would they?
Didn't they say that as long as he blew this whistle in any forest, he could see the Dwarf Home?
As he was thinking, the moment he turned around, a familiar little house appeared before his eyes.
When did it come out?
Rhode widened his eyes, his expression somewhat surprised. He hadn't even noticed the appearance of this Dwarf Home 643 at all.
The abilities of these fairies and elves are really a bit strange.
No wonder the curses and blessings of fairies are things like the law of causality.
Thinking in his mind, Rhode slowly walked forward and knocked on the door of the Dwarf Home.
Knock knock knock!
After the knocking sound, footsteps came from inside the house.
"Who is it?"
Then, the door was opened, and a head cautiously poked out from inside, looking outside.
Shadows loomed, and the dwarf leader looked up and saw a familiar face in his eyes.
"It's you, friend of the dwarves!"
Seeing Rhode, the dwarf leader's expression was somewhat pleasantly surprised, and he quickly invited Rhode into the house.
"Come and see who's here."
Hearing the dwarf leader's movements, two dwarves ran out from the inner room.
Seeing Rhode, both dwarves showed expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Friend, I didn't expect to see you so soon."
The third dwarf warmly greeted Rhode to sit down and poured him a glass of water.
His personality is the most fiery, but once he recognizes someone as a friend, he is also the most enthusiastic.
"I brought you some food, I hope your food reserves can last through this winter."
It doesn't hurt to be courteous. Rhode didn't immediately get down to business.
That would make it seem like he came to ask these dwarves for something.
However, first sending some worthless food and then asking his own questions is like asking a question while visiting a friend.
The matter is still the same matter, but the meaning is completely different.
Looking at the fresh food all over the ground, the faces of the few dwarves really showed surprise, but soon they became a little tangled.
After looking at each other, the dwarf leader came out.
"Friend, we dwarves will not take advantage of our friends, but we have nothing here to exchange with you."
"You should still take this food away."
Although they were a little reluctant, this was the rule of their dwarf brothers.
"In that case, then I'll just take a piece of gold from you as a reward."
Rhode looked at the three dwarf brothers with stubborn faces and shook his head helplessly.
He randomly picked a piece of gold from the dwarf brothers' vault and stuffed it into his personal space.
The dwarf brothers immediately smiled when they saw this.
Although in their eyes, the value of these foods was far from what gold could compare to.
However, Rhode's behavior undoubtedly really regarded them as friends.
After a bit of small talk, Rhode pretended not to care and asked a question.
"When I was traveling in other places, I met a woman. This woman suddenly fainted because of some sad things, but I don't know why, after she fainted, all the animals in the entire forest gathered together."
Listening to Rhode's words, the three dwarves, who hadn't cared much at first, simultaneously showed surprised expressions on their faces, and froze in place.
"You mean, when she fainted, all the animals in the entire forest gathered together?"
The dwarf leader took a deep breath and suddenly asked seriously.
That expression was as if he knew something, his eyes and tone indescribably serious.
Chapter 105: The Temptation of the Succubus!
"You mean, when she fainted, all the animals in the entire forest gathered together?"
The dwarf leader took a deep breath and suddenly asked seriously.
That expression was as if he knew something, his eyes and tone indescribably serious.
Looking at the dwarf leader's serious face, Rhode knew in his heart that he was on the right track.
If he didn't know something about the situation, it was impossible for the dwarf leader to have this kind of reaction.
After receiving Rhode's definite answer, the dwarf leader was silent for a moment, and then slowly said.
"This situation only appears in elves and fairies, but since you said she looks like a human, then she shouldn't be a pure-blooded fairy or elf."
"She should be a hybrid like us."
Fairy and elf bloodline?
Rhode was slightly stunned. This answer was completely beyond his expectations.
After all, Mrs. Temani and her two daughters didn't look like they had elven bloodlines at all.
They were just like ordinary, normal people.
"I see her, she doesn't seem to be much different from a normal person."
Rhode asked doubtfully. The dwarf leader was not surprised to hear this.
