Chapter 114 Awakening
Chapter 114 Awakening
Seeing Isabel's surprised expression, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand and made a hushing gesture, then pulled Isabel to the living room outside.
Isabel shook off Chen Cheng's hand and said with some embarrassment:
"You are so brave."
Chen Cheng sat down on the chair and said unceremoniously:
"What's the matter with being brave or not, I was just passing by an alley and saw her fainted on the ground."
"If that's the case, then you should have carried her to Count Huidun. Why did you carry her to us?"
Isabelle said, sitting across from him.
Chen Cheng rolled his eyes. He couldn't really tell Isabelle that the elf came to Huidun City as a slave, otherwise he couldn't explain why there was no slave collar around her neck.
"Oh, use your brain and think about it carefully. She is an elf. She was seriously injured for no apparent reason, and it happened in Huidun City. If this matter were to be publicized, it would be very detrimental to the reputation of Earl Huidun."
Isabel had also heard that Chen Cheng had been very close to Count Huidun since the alchemist crisis, but she did not expect that Chen Cheng would get involved in Huidun's fight for the throne.
"You kid, you want to die, and you dare to participate in such a thing?"
Ishabel said with a little excitement.
However, Chen Cheng waved his hand and said:
"Don't say so much for now, you should check on her inside first and see if you can save her."
Chen Cheng picked up the cup on the coffee table, saw that there was water in it and drank it in one gulp. Then he stood up and took Isabel to the bedroom.
When Isabel saw Chen Cheng drinking water from her cup, she was about to ask him to put it down, but Chen Cheng had already finished the water.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You're getting bolder and bolder. I told you not to pull me."
But Chen Cheng ignored all this and pushed her into the bedroom and closed the door.
After closing the door, Chen Cheng's face showed fatigue. He rubbed his face vigorously with both hands and encouraged himself: "It doesn't matter, you can definitely solve this problem perfectly."
To be honest, this seems to be just a small matter of elves being sold as slaves and then escaping, but the political trap behind it is a catastrophic pit.
It can be said that as long as this matter is exposed, and coupled with the elf's words that are slightly unfavorable to Huidun, Huidun's path to competing for the throne can be said to be cut off.
Because it doesn't matter if he violates some things, but if he violates some consensus concerning the entire human race, then no matter how talented he is, he will never be able to become one of the rulers of the human race.
And friendly peace with the elves is one of the consensuses.
Humans occupy the central continent, and it can be said that they are surrounded by enemies. The elves can stand on the same path as humans, which is very important for the human race.
Therefore, if the fact that the elves were enslaved and abused were exposed, then Earl Huidun, the lord of Huidun Territory, would be at the center of public attention.
And if this elf said something hateful towards Huidun outside again, then Huidun would be convicted of destroying the friendship and peace between humans and elves.
Although his life would not be taken away in a high probability, it would be absolutely impossible for him to become king.
It can be said that this is the most dangerous political crisis Huidun has encountered.
Chen Cheng, who figured all this out halfway, really thought about whether he should shut up the elf behind him completely, but in the end he gave up the idea.
Because he is not that cold-blooded.
In the bedroom, Isabelle carefully took off Emile's tattered clothes, and she was surprised when she saw her body covered with scars.
Then Isabel began to examine her carefully and meticulously.
However, as she examined her, her brows furrowed more and more, because according to her examination, Emil was not only seriously injured, but her life source was also extremely weak.
And Isabel knew that someone had sucked away her essence recently, otherwise she would not be so weak.
As for her fundamental injuries, she had no way to deal with them now. She could only try her best to heal her external injuries and let her wake up as soon as possible.
Ishabel recited the spell quickly, and the vigorous healing magic enveloped Emile.
This is the only crude method she can use to treat her now.
However, despite its crudeness, the effect is surprisingly good.
The external injuries on Emile's body healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the purple and blue spots on his body quickly faded and disappeared.
More than half an hour later, Emile slowly woke up.
When Isabelle saw Emile open her eyes, she steadied her for a moment and then took back the magic.
At this moment, she was also very tired and exhausted. She didn't originally major in healing, so this crude method consumed a huge amount of magic energy.
"You're awake now. Rest here. The guy who rescued you is outside. I'll go call him in."
Although Isabelle has been troubled these days because of Earl Xiaoton's affairs, she has thought things through while treating Emile. She knows that it would be better to give the credit for saving the elf in front of her to Chen Cheng outside.
Although if she did not give the credit to Chen Cheng, and instead said some bad things about Count Huidun in front of Emile as his savior, then if Emile told others about it, Huidun would be useless.
She believed that after Huidun lost the qualification to compete for the throne, Earl Xiaoton would definitely be transferred away, and then the problems that troubled her would be solved.
But in the end, perhaps because he cared about his best friend Melinda, since Huidun was qualified to compete, he went to see Melinda less frequently, and his best friend smiled more often than before.
Well, it was Ishabel who didn't want her best friend to be sad, so she gave up such a good opportunity.
When Isabel opened the door, she saw Chen Cheng tidying up the living room outside for her.
Seeing Chen Cheng's actions, she immediately asked him to stop, and then said:
"What are you doing? Don't you know I did this on purpose? You cleaned it up so cleanly, and I will have to work hard to mess it up later."
Isabel took the garbage bag from him, then pointed to the bedroom and said:
"Go in. I hope you have a smart brain and can get the elf lady inside to cooperate with you."
Chen Cheng gave Isabel a grateful look, then pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
Looking at Chen Cheng's back, she also shook her head.
At the same time, she also realized that Chen Cheng got involved here in order to turn things around and get rid of his slave status.
Because the greatest achievement from ancient times to the present is to follow the dragon, and if he really helped Huidun to succeed in seizing the throne, then with this great achievement, he might be able to become the first person in ancient and modern times to escape from slavery.
When she thought that Chen Cheng did all this to fulfill his promise with Melinda, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and she suddenly felt a little jealous of her best friend.
