Chapter Thirty-Two Mermaid

  Quietly following the masked man through the city, Lin Wu soon arrived at a residential area. From afar, he saw the masked man enter a small, secluded house.

  "Lilith, I'm back." Lei Meng walked into the small hut, and suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart. He was just one step away from getting the thing that could save Lilith.

  "Huh? Lilith?" The sound of thunder heard in the quiet house, suddenly a flurry of panic in his heart.

  Suddenly rushing into the inner room, a girl was lying weakly in a large bathtub, surprisingly, below the waist of the girl was a red fish tail.

  Mermaid!! This girl is actually a mermaid from the sea tribe.

  "Lilith, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me like that." Lei Meng rushed to the mermaid girl's side and anxiously asked.

  "Ah, it's brother, you're back." At the sound of thunderous shouting, Nellis' mermaid girl lightly opened her eyes and revealed a deep affection on her face.

  "Lilith, are you ill again?" Lei Meng said, hastily taking out a 1st-level water-elemental magic core and throwing it into the water tank.

  As the magic core was thrown in, the water tank began to emit a faint wave of water element energy, and Nell's complexion also recovered slightly.

  "Brother, you've gone to buy a magic core again." Lilies gazed at her brother in front of her, the only one she could rely on in this world, feeling guilty and thinking that everything was her fault for being a burden to him.

  "It's okay, brother has found a job as a guard for a wealthy family and can earn a lot of money, Lirius doesn't have to worry, brother will definitely cure Lirius' illness." Lei Meng's tone was inexplicably gentle.

  "Really?" Lirien stretched out her hand and gently grasped Raim's hand.

  "Hmm." Lei Meng nodded.

  "That... that's... okay..." Suddenly, Lilith's breathing became rapid, and the magic core that had been thrown into the water tank had somehow exhausted its energy and shattered into several pieces.

  "Lilith, what's wrong with you?" Lei Meng saw Lilith's situation and his heart was anxious, that demon core was his last one.

  Seeing Lirisa's painful expression, Lei Meng's face suddenly flashed with determination. "Lirisa, wait for me, brother will go buy the magic core right away." As he spoke, Lei Meng turned around abruptly, at this moment, he had already made up his mind to get the magic core no matter what.

  Lei Meng rushed out of the house and saw Lin Wu, "It's you." Lei Meng suddenly drew his short sword, staring at Lin Wu intensely.

  "Put down your weapons." Lin Wu said calmly.

  "Hmph, what's the point? It was all you who made me lose my last hope of saving Lilith. I'm going to kill you!" Lei Meng shouted angrily and pounced on Lin Wu.

  "Want to save your sister? Then back off." Lei Meng heard Lin Wu's calm voice as he approached him.

  At this, Lei Meng's footsteps came to a halt, and he said in a deep voice: "This is indeed true."

  "Naturally." Lin Wu had just overheard the conversation between Masked Man and Mermaid Girl outside the house, a situation similar to Alice's reaction after releasing the Frost Dragon's soul.

  "Alright, as long as you can save my sister, I'll let you do whatever you want. But if you deceive me, even if I die, I'll drag you down to hell with me." Lei Meng said, staring at Lin Wu word by word.

  "I'll prove everything with facts." Lin Wu walked into the small hut, looking at the mermaid girl who was in pain. On his hands appeared two bottles of medicine, one red and one blue, which were exactly the life and magic potions from the game.

  Pour the two bottles of medicine directly into the water tank, and the painful expression of the mermaid girl instantly collapsed. As for such a miraculous effect, Lin Wu didn't care about it either. This was originally an instant recovery medicine, and this effect wasn't exaggerated at all.

  And Lin Wu's thunderous roar behind him widened his eyes, and in an instant, Lirien's illness was cured. This is absolutely a miracle.

  However, Lin Wu furrowed his brow at this moment. The two bottles of medicine he had taken down were completely absorbed in no time, and it was clear that these two bottles of medicine could not be completely cured, but only temporarily relieved.

  "For the time being, there's no problem, you and I will discuss the situation." Lin Wu said as he walked out of the small hut.

  Lei Meng now regarded Lin Wu as his last hope, and with a respectful expression, he followed Lin Wu out of the hut. "Thank you for your help, Lei Meng will remember it in his heart. I was wrong before, if you want to punish me, I am willing to accept punishment."

  "I'm not helping you for nothing," said Lin Wu.

  Helping others is not feasible in this world, especially for someone like Lin Wu who doesn't have much power yet. In order to survive better in a world where the strong are numerous, Lin Wu needs some subordinates, and this masked man Lei Ming is a good assistant.

  "If Your Excellency can cure Liriel's illness, I am willing to pledge loyalty to you." Raymundo said in a deep voice.

  Lin Wu's words did not make Lei Meng feel disgusted, but instead felt relieved a lot, because the other party valued his own strength, then he would definitely go all out to save Lili, so Lei Meng made a vow of allegiance to Lin Wu.

  In this world, people attach great importance to oaths and no one will casually break an oath.

  Then, Lin Wu listened to Lei Meng's account of his and the mermaid girl's origins. Lei Meng was not a member of the sea tribe; he had no blood relation with Lili, the mermaid girl. Lei Meng was a half-elf who suffered from the rejection of both elves and humans, wandering alone since childhood.

  Lilith was discovered by Rimuru when he wandered to the beach, where she was just an infant, but had been bitten by a magical leech and was on the verge of death with her life force being sucked out.

  At that time, Lei Meng couldn't bear to save Liru, but Liru's body was extremely weak after being drained of her energy and blood, and she needed to constantly replenish her energy. As a mermaid, Liru had the greatest need for water-based energy, and the sea tribe was not suitable for living on land to begin with, let alone Liru who was so weak.

  And Lei Meng has been working hard to make money for Lilith's magic core to sustain Lilith's life over the past decade or so, but the price of the magic core is very expensive, and Lei Meng's strength can only hunt down some level 1 or at most level 2 magical beasts, which can barely maintain it.

  Lei Meng once heard of a way to cure the bite of the magical leech, which required a level 4 or higher water-elemental magic core and a 500-year-old Heartgrass.

  And the reason why Lei Meng is working hard for Naboxi is for that 500-year-old Heart Grass, this Heart Grass is a top-notch healing medicine, especially those over 500 years old have strong life energy, but this thing must be refined by an alchemist before it can be used.

  Upon hearing the rumble of thunder, Lin Wu felt that it would be somewhat difficult to take down this subordinate. After all, a 4th-grade magic core and a Heartgrass were not ordinary goods.

  "Hmm, in that case, whether it's a 4th-grade magic core or a Heart Grass, they're both rare items. I'll need some time. As for your sister's illness, I'll think of a way to stabilize her condition first." Lin Wu said after some thought.

  "Good." Leiming also knew that these two things were priceless, so he agreed very readily.
