Chapter 898 Daruk
Since Princess Shannon won the first battle in Haiyue City, she has successively conquered several provinces, and each time ended with victory.
Jinque turned the disadvantage of Hailan in an instant.
The positive situation gave hope to the leaders of the major provinces. They felt that they would definitely be able to recover the lost territory in the end and victory was in sight. Therefore, after the factors of external enemies were reduced, each province began to focus on solving the problem of internal refugees.
Among them, Watford's method of solving the refugee problem is more inclined to Conia's approach.
Encourage refugees to solve the problem themselves.
During the day, refugees can enter the city to work after registration. At night, refugees rest in the resettlement area outside the city.
Although it is very tiring to run around like this every day. But at least most refugees have a hope.
Daruk is one of these refugees, but he is special in that he not only has to support himself, but also his grandfather.
During the escape, refugees rarely consider the elderly. Many of the older ones either fail to survive due to physical weakness or simply stay in their original villages and do not cause trouble to their families. Therefore, in the refugee area, it is rare to see people who are too old.
Daluk's grandfather is an exception. He is now over 70 years old, but he has walked nearly a thousand miles from the neighboring province to Watford, and this is all thanks to Daluk's care.
The grandfather and grandson depended on each other and finally survived the difficult period. Now Daluk can go to the city to help during the day to improve his life, but at this time, a thunderbolt struck.
Daluk's grandfather suffered from a strange disease. His whole body seemed to be crawling with worms, and he had a lot of red sores and edema, and pus kept flowing every day. This painful disease made it almost impossible for Daluk's grandfather to live a normal life.
Daluk worked every day to earn money and finally raised enough money to see a doctor.
But the doctor was unwilling to see patients, so Daruk could only carry his grandfather into the city. However, he was stopped by the guards at the city gate.
Although refugees can enter the city to work, Daruk's grandfather's condition is too horrifying, and it looks like a skin infection. In order to protect the safety of the people in the city, the guards are naturally unwilling to let Daruk's grandfather enter.
"My grandfather's condition is not contagious. I am by his side every day. You see, I am fine now." Daruk begged bitterly.
The refugees on the side also helped to speak: "Yes, he has been sick for more than a month. If he wanted to be contagious, he would have been contagious long ago. Daruk finally raised enough medical expenses, so let him in."
The guards at the city gate are just small soldiers after all. Most of the people who play tricks are the upper class. They are a little embarrassed to see so many people begging for mercy. They can't help but look at the captain of the city defense. Seeing that the captain is shaking his head, they can only make up their minds to continue to refuse Daruk's request.
Even if Daruk kneels on the ground and begs, he can't be let into the city gate.
Instantly, he was filled with grief. He only had his grandfather as a relative. If he couldn't even save his grandfather, he... Daruk felt so tight in his chest that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Alas, I'm so angry that I spit out blood." The refugees around shook their heads and left. They didn't dare to really point fingers at the guards, but just said a few words to help. What's more, it was daytime work.
When Angell came to the city gate, he saw a boy younger than him kneeling beside an old man sobbing, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
Angell's arrival, from his dress to his temperament, was incompatible with the refugees around him.
When Angell showed his family emblem, the guards didn't dare to stop him at all, and even the captain of the city defense took the initiative to come forward to express his respect.
Daruk learned from the guards that the young man in front of him, who was not much older than him, was actually a noble. He looked at his grandfather lying unconscious on the ground, gritted his teeth, and rushed to the noble young man...
Angel looked at the boy kneeling on the ground, holding his shoes, and was silent.
From the mouth of this young man named Daruk, Angel roughly got his request, that he wanted to enter the city to take his grandfather to see a doctor, but the guards refused him for fear of infection.
The guards on the side saw that there were refugees colliding with nobles, and they immediately stepped forward to arrest Daruk.
Angel glanced at Daruk's grandfather and waved to the guards: "Let him in, his grandfather's illness is not contagious."
The guards were stunned, and looked at each other for a while, not knowing whether to arrest or let him go at this moment.
After a while, the captain of the city defense came over and looked at Daruk: "Since the nobles have given you a chance, then you can go in. However, wrap up your grandfather's exposed skin. Even if there is no infectious disease, if it scares the people and someone complains about you, then I will have to act according to the law."
Daruk didn't expect things to take a turn for the better. He even thought that he would be beaten to death for colliding with nobles, because there were precedents in the past where refugees stared at nobles and were killed.
He quickly kowtowed to Angell, and took off his coat to cover his grandfather's exposed skin.
Angel looked at the excited Daruk and shook his head gently, "Compared to your grandfather, I think you may need to see a doctor more."
Angel left this sentence and turned to go into the city.
After Angell entered the city, he seemed to be strolling leisurely along the way, but when he saw some shops selling tools or raw materials, he would stop and move the entire shop into the dream wilderness through the dream conch.
Originally he planned to be the first city in the Wilderness of Dreams, and every building must have its own characteristics. But later he discovered that he could be aesthetically pleasing to a single building. But after he put in a bunch of beautiful buildings, they ended up not being beautiful because of various incompatibility.
So now he doesn't have to be picky about the building and just moves the shop in. Even if it doesn't look good, since Flood is inside, he can renovate it.
After completing his promise to Flood, Angel walked up to a building that was blue in color and looked like a surging ocean tide.
This is the Ocean Theater.
Angel used to admire this place very much because Megeve, the music master he admired as a child, would perform at the Ocean Theater every time he went on a national tour as long as there was a stop in Waterford.
This is a dream place of his childhood.
In the whole of Waterford, only the Ocean Theater is the most distinctive. Angel plans to move the Ocean Theater into the Wilderness of Dreams. Even if the Ocean Theater is now of no use in the Wilderness of Dreams, it can be regarded as fulfilling a vision he had when he was a child.
When Angel was about to take out the Dream Conch, he suddenly saw a young man sitting at the door of the Ocean Theater.
It was the young man named Daluk that he had seen at the door before.
He was shirtless and sitting on the steps in front of the theater with a dull look on his face. His grandfather, who had also woken up from a coma, sat next to him.
Daluk's grandfather was weeping silently, while Daluk was leaning against the flower bed, lost in thought.
Neither of them spoke, until Daluk heard footsteps coming from behind, and then he slowly came back to his senses: "Sorry, I'll leave right away... Hey, is it your noble lord?"
Daluk originally thought it was the guards of the Ocean Theater who came to drive them away, but when he turned around, he saw that it was the young nobleman who had helped him enter the city before.
Daluk bowed respectfully.
Angel looked at him quietly: "Looking at you, you don't seem to be satisfied with the doctor's diagnosis?"
"No, the doctor said that there is no big problem with my grandfather..." Daluk didn't expect that a noble would care about low-level people like them, and he was a little trembling in reply.
"I know your grandpa is not sick. The person I'm asking about is you." Angel glanced at Grandpa Daluk. Even though his whole body was covered with abscesses and red swellings, his mental energy swept away and he found Daluk. Grandpa Ke’s body is basically normal.
His symptoms are a bit like mental hallucinations, because he suddenly encountered a change in environment, from a clean and regular life to a refugee area with shabby shanties. So, when I saw a few bugs crawling on my body, I imagined that my whole body was bitten by bugs. Finally, I had the illusion of parasites, and my body actively responded to stress.
The bottom line is that there is nothing wrong with it, I just think too much. However, patients generally don't think so. They think that they must have a physical disease, and they may even end up with unbearable itching and pus discharge until they die.
On the contrary, it was Daluk. Angel had felt before that the blood in Daluk's body was floating and his body functions were slowly declining. It's a bit similar to Jon's situation, but Daluk is not corrupted by the will of the great will, he should be suffering from some kind of disease.
Daluk smiled sadly: "The doctor said that I have twilight syndrome, a medically terminal disease, and said that I would not survive a week."
Twilight syndrome? Angel had never heard of this symptom. All he knew about medicine was from Jon's professor when he was a child, and most of it was about the names of diseases on Earth.
"Sir, are you a doctor?" The person asking the question was Grandpa Daluk who was scratching at the side. With tears in his eyes: "Sir, can you tell that there is something wrong with Daluk's body because you are a doctor? Then...can you save Daluk? If you can save Daluk, I am willing to die immediately."
Angel paused and looked at Daluk: "I'm not a doctor, I can't save you, but I can let you live in another way, but from now on you will completely leave the Old Continent, are you willing? ?”
When Angel felt that Daruk's symptoms were inexplicably similar to Jon's, he decided to include him in the list of experimental samples.
What's more, Daluk himself is indeed suffering from an incurable disease.
Daruk was stunned and didn't understand what Angel meant, but Angel didn't continue to explain. He just put the choice in front of him and let him make his own choice.
"If I leave, what will happen to my grandfather..." Daluk looked at his only relative worriedly.
"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself alone." Grandpa Daluk hurriedly expressed his opinion, but Daluk didn't believe it at all when he saw the abscesses and redness all over his grandfather's body.
Daluk was worried about his grandfather, but if Angel didn't save him, he would eventually die.
For a moment, Daluk was entangled.
