Chapter 841 It’s a Showdown, Are You Here to Find Me, Gretel?

Grete stood quietly beside him, saying nothing.

He has always been very optimistic about this girl Liya. Self-reliant, self-reliant, and very diligent in working in the hospital - follow-up reports from little Jenny and Cerela.

Now, someone wants to take her away and give her a better life, and Grete has no intention of intervening. No one could take Leah away if she didn't want to, if she wanted to?

Grete thought to herself that there was a way to ensure that she would not be treated too miserably in the future.

For example, can the woman who signed a magical contract and asked to be taken away from her always fulfill her promise?

So he just watched. And Little Leah, standing in front of him and the lady, lowered her head to think for a moment, then smiled brightly:

"Thank you for your kindness, my dear lady."

She lifted up her skirt and curtsied in a decent manner - at least in the eyes of people like Grete, who was very unfamiliar with Western etiquette, it was decent enough - and she didn't know who she learned it from:

"But I don't want to go."

"Why? Are you worried that I won't treat you well?" The female magician looked at her seriously. His green eyes were filled with sincere kindness and compassion. Even if she didn't release [Charming Humans], the effect was close enough:

"I can swear an oath, or sign a magic contract. If you are worried that you don't understand magic and can't understand the contract, I can also sign a contract with the healer you trust——"

She raised her hand and pointed at Gretel. Leah looked up along her fingertips, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled sweetly:

"You're not worried about that, noble lady. I'm already living a good life here, with enough food, warm clothes, and books to read. Moreover, Mr. Master gave me a job—"

She stretched out her hands, flattened her palms, and showed the calluses on her fingers and palms to the female magician:

"Mr. Master promised me that I can work in the hospital no matter whether I am cured or not. I rely on my own work to earn food and clothing, and live a very peaceful life. Compared with you taking me in and treating me like your daughter, I would rather Much more at ease.”

Her body was still stooped, and her back still couldn't straighten. However, the light in the girl's eyes was as bright as the stars, and the spine in her heart was straight.

The female magician laughed unconsciously. She touched Leah's hair, took out a colorful straw bracelet, and put it on her wrist:

"Sorry, I tested you. This is a gadget I made myself, just as an apology to you. Now, can you let me, Mr. Mage, whom you trust, have a chat alone?"

Leia looked at Gretel. Seeing Grete smiling and nodding, she knelt down and saluted again, then left. The female magician took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed deeply to Gretel:

"I'm very sorry for testing you. - Let me introduce you again. My name is Marianne Weil, the wife of the Count of Ostend. The child entrusted to you is my eldest son."

Gretel nodded gently into her green eyes, not showing the slightest hint of surprise. The countess smiled sadly:

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, but that Andre is my eldest son and the only son I have now. As a mother, if I want him to take such a risk, I always want to be more sure... "

Gretel stared at her silently. The countess lowered her head and smiled bitterly, then raised her head again and looked directly at Gretel:

"After all, I will go to war. When the contract is signed, I will return to Ostend and fight alongside my husband. Live together and die together."

Her back was straight, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she emitted a fierce light like a warrior. His eyes dropped slightly but were full of love, and he stretched out his hand to press forward, as if stroking his son's little head:

"I want to be sure - I want to see that even if we both die, Andrei will still be entrusted to a reliable person. That person will treat him carefully and not just because he lost his parents. Neglect or even abandon his treatment."

"You are that person. You will do this to the girl named Leah, and you will do this to my son. I am relieved to entrust Andre to you."

Gretel sighed softly. For the patient's family members, such temptation is considered civilized and polite. He stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with the Countess:

"I am a healer. In my eyes, there are only patients and healthy people. There are no count's sons or children who have lost their parents. If any patient is handed over to me, I will do everything in my power to restore him to health."

The patients I treat, whether they are men or women, nobles or slaves, my only purpose is to seek happiness for the patients, regardless of religion, nationality, race, politics or status...

It's hard to do this. However, I will try my best to do so.

The Countess went away quietly, as if she were merely a member of the embassy visiting one of the stops arranged by the Parliament. Gretel didn't go to send it off, as if he had fulfilled all his obligations and was immersed in medicine again.

On the mission side, the Dutch nobles who were negotiating with the jury had already exploded.

Parliament agrees to aid them?

Very good!

The Council is willing to sell them magic scrolls? Buy buy buy! Anyway, businessmen in the Netherlands don’t have much else but a lot of money! Rather than being blown away by the Glory Holy See, it would be better to hit them on the battlefield and cause them pain!

Is there a level nine scroll? What? Not selling? The eighth-level scrolls are not sold either? Is level seven okay?

"Just kidding, of course not! Do you have strong enough spell casters? - Taking a step back, do you have strong enough professionals with spell casting experience? What do you think the scroll is? Just pull it open and you can ——A bang?"

There is really nothing you can do about the magic scroll. Fortunately, the council is still willing to sell magic equipment? Triggered magic props? Buy buy buy!

What, the number of magic props is not enough, but you see this explosive pack is also very good. With one blast, it can also blow down a wall of the church?

no problem! Let’s try a hundred packs first to try out the effect!

Willing to sell them healing potions? Buy buy buy! Buy as much as you can! What, the amount of healing potion may not be enough? What should I use, penicillin, streptomycin, and the top part of the battlefield first aid kit?

Just support it! Anyway, low-level warriors and knights who have just advanced are not guaranteed to receive treatment. There is no healing potion, there is something else, which is better than nothing!

What, there’s pain relief equipment here? It activates for six hours at a time and comes with a magic chip that can cast the spell ten times? If you run out, there are energy storage chip sets here in the council. Can you get a discount if you buy more?

Buy buy buy! This thing is so useful, even if you don’t use it yourself, you can resell it to the Kingdom of Rhine!

Gretel: Jingle dong, jingle dong, jingle dong——

Hey, when did I get so much extra money?

Do I need to upgrade any equipment? What if, just in case, I have to go to the battlefield?
