Chapter 888: Family Matters (2)

(Unedited)

…

The troublesome situation between Loom and Olley could not be resolved that easily. Hence the elves decided to stay for a while in Central Town to decide what to do next. Olley did not stay with them and has decided to stay with Loom for a while.

The two love birds seem inseparable which gathered a few envious looks from some of the people in the ship.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is in a meeting with the 3rd elder and Phil Mason.

The two elderly men one is human and the other is an elf made Shin Jiao's office exudes an extraordinary aura that made those who would enter this place kneel on the ground because of the strange pressure coming from these three men.

But of course, for the three they did not care about any of this. They just leisurely sip the served tea which the 3rd elder has presented as a gift.

"Ah… I really missed this stuff. The Elven Kingdom is truly a blessed place." Phil Mason said after taking a sip of the tea and savoring it.

"Haha… It's been a long time since you visited us, so since I decided to come to the town, I brought some with me in case we see each other."

"The blend and the aroma of the tea are good. But what is the best about it, is the mana and its effect… If I'm not wrong, this tea is grown in an enchanted plantation, right?" Shin Jiao said after taking a whip of the aroma and a sip of the tea.

"You are right… you have a good eye and great discernment…" the 3rd elder praised with a smile.

"Hahaha… This lad is a bit on the unique side. He has a lot of unique perspectives on things that normal people don't… Just look at the stuff we have inside this ship." Phil Mason added.

"Hmm… I agree. But what interests me are those weapons and the mana battery… As you know, the Dragon's Ridge is now full of danger. With those Scavengers rampaging… sigh… But these days, I find it weird that the group became inactive."

Phil Mason just took a glance at Shin Jiao and decided not to tell what happened. Although the information is good news to many it would also cause great anxiety.

If those who dwell in the Dragon's Ridge would know that a single human who made a type of poison and caused the Scavengers to suffer too much, then they might feel worried. And it would cause the whole denizen of the Dragon's Ridge to be hostile against humans.

And that is not what he wanted to happen. So Phil Mason did not tell his friend about what they have discusses in the meeting.

"So what do you think we should do about those two?" the 3rd elder asked with a slight frown as he too could not make a firm decision on this.

He could clearly feel that the unborn child would turn out to be a pure elf according to the aura inside the child's body. But at this time, he is still unsure because it is too early to conclude. However, if his conjecture is correct, then if that child would be born, although from a Halfling, he would have a greater future in the elven kingdom.

But of course, this is not yet set on stone as the child is still developing inside its mother's womb. And also the child's gender is not yet set.

"I also don't have any idea on how to proceed. All I know is that, if those two decided to be together, it would cause great political upheaval in the elven kingdom, especially in the young council. They would surely kick Olley El'fore out and would cause the El'fore family standing in the kingdom to be affected. And because of this the El'fore family would be angry and might even punish Olley for this… This is really a headache." the 3rd elder said while shaking his head.

"If this is the case, then we can only separate the two. If they would become selfish many people would be affected by their actions. This is a troublesome matter to choose between the greater good and self-interest." Phil Mason said with a frown.

"This is their fate… But… What if the child inside Loom would turn out a pure elf? What then?" Shin Jiao asked as he has already known about the condition of the child in Loom's belly.

In fact, he is more aware that the child is a pure one and only has the genetic semblance of Loom in terms of her ability. It is a bit mysterious how it happened, but it really did, so Shin Jiao just wanted to know from this angle.

"Well, if that is really correct, and I can feel that the child would become extraordinary, then the elves would accept this union. No one in the El'fore family would dare to stop the progress of an extraordinary child." the 3rd elder explained.

"Alright, then so be it… Loom will stay in this place for a while. 2 months later, you can already see the child's potential, right? If I discover the purity of its bloodline, then we will visit the elven kingdom and take Loom with us." Shin Jiao said.

When the 3rd elder heard this he showed a slight confusion in his expression.

"Haha… Old friend, I forgot to tell you. Master Shin is not only the master of this ship; he is also a great doctor." Phil Mason said with a smile.

"Really? That… That is good…" the 3rd elder said.

Suddenly, Phil Mason remembers something.

"Ey… now that we are on this topic, I clearly remember that you have been stuck in the 2nd Grand Magus level because of your injury back then. Why don't you let this lad check your condition?"

Upon hearing this, the 3rd elder showed a hint of hesitation. He has been checked by many doctors and no matter what they could not even diagnose his condition. So how could just any doctor do? But he is also a bit hopeful that this Master Shin could help him.

Although a bit hesitating, he nodded his head and looks at Shin Jiao.

"Master Shin, if I may be presumptuous." He said with an embarrassed smile.

"No worries 3rd elder…" Shin Jiao said.

"Ah, don't call me 3rd elder… my name is Mardox El'fore… You can just call me Mardox." The 3rd elder said.

Shin Jiao nodded his head and just extended his hand.

Phil Mason saw that his friend is not moving so he decided to help.

"Extend your wrist towards him," he said gesturing to his friend.

"Ah…"

Shin Jiao carefully scanned the man's body, but because of his aura, some resistance made it hard for him to see what is happening inside. But if he touches his wrist, then he could easily probe his body without any resistance at all.

And so Shin Jiao closes his eyes and after a minute opens it.

"When you try to exert energy or use your fullest strength, your left chest would hurt, right?" he asked.

Mardox nodded.

"Then one of your eyes would twitch a little when you try to use strong physical force for more than one minute. More than that, your vision would suddenly turn blurry." Shin Jiao said.

When Mardox heard this, his expression turned astonished. How this man did know of those things? That is something that he is trying to hide. If his enemies discover his weakness, then they could use this against him.

"Hmm… Your left brain is infected by a strange microscopic parasite. They are mysterious and it is the first time that I saw them." Shin Jiao explained.

If this is in the immortal land, all this person needed to do is to die and be revived after 3 days and his body would be clear of any of these parasites. However, in this place, it is not that simple. So to help this guy, he needed to use a slightly different approach.

But it would cause this guy to feel a bout of pain if the anesthetic would not affect and only a slight discomfort if the anesthetic would be effective.

But with the level of strength this person has, he is slightly unsure if the anesthetic would have an effect on him.

Shin Jiao began to explain what he needed to do to cure Mardox of his problem. After hearing the explanation, the old elf showed a hint of hesitation in his expression. It is not a problem for him to have the operation, but the danger that Master Shin talks about is not a trivial matter.

The danger of having his body slightly paralyzed is nothing to scoff at. Although it is at around 1%, he still could not let down his guard.

But the allure of him getting back to his full potential and possibly increasing his strength is something that he had wished for a long time.

"I need to talk to my cousin first…" Mardox said as he stood up and walk out of the room.
