Wizard Immortal

Chapter 621 Women

The azure rain fell slowly from the sky, gently landing on the earth, making a soft, pattering sound as the raindrops pattered down.

It was springtime, and because the weather was still quite cold and it was raining, there were very few pedestrians on the streets. Even those who were there were carrying simple umbrellas and hurrying away.

As I walked through it, a young girl slowly emerged from the end, gazing at the scene before her, somewhat stunned.

"I wonder if the knight has returned yet..."

Looking at the sparse figures on the street, Wendy had this thought in her mind, recalling the figure of that young knight, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy at this moment.

Seemingly sensing her melancholy, a guard beside her spoke up: "Rest assured, the Baron sent word two days ago that he will arrive in the city in three days..."

"That's good." Wendy smiled, and her anxiety eased slightly, no longer as tense as before.

She continued looking ahead, her gaze reaching the horizon: "The master will be back tonight. I should think about what I should find to prepare a sumptuous dinner for him."

This was the purpose of her trip.

After being rescued by Adir, the girl still tried her best to do something for him, even though Adir never asked her to do anything.

Therefore, even now, girls often go out to buy rare ingredients to prepare a delicious meal.

This time is no different.

Walking along the market street, the number of pedestrians became increasingly sparse due to the heavy rain, while the rainwater on the ground accumulated thicker and thicker, becoming more and more rampant due to the underdeveloped urban drainage system.

Having grown accustomed to this environment, the girl didn't find it unusual. However, this time was still somewhat unexpected.

In a corner of the market, the girl saw a ragged figure lying there, covered in blood, looking like a corpse.

"She's still alive."

After a quick glance, the girl looked at the fallen figure with some hesitation.

It was raining heavily. In this kind of weather, without help, this woman would most likely die here, her body turning into a pile of rotten flesh, devoured by wild dogs everywhere, leaving only bones scattered on the ground.

In the days since arriving in Tam City, the girl had witnessed this kind of thing more than once.

In the past, although the girl was reluctant, she was able to suppress her thoughts and not do anything unnecessary.

Compared to the noble ladies who are unaware of the hardships of life, the girl from the scavenger community understands better how hard-won her current life is and does not want to cause her knight any more trouble.

But at this moment, upon seeing the girl, the girl couldn't help but waver, remembering her uncle who had died at the hands of ghouls.

That night, when her uncle turned into a ghoul, she felt an unbelievable despair and the suffocating feeling of being on the verge of death.

"Miss, shall we take her back?"

Beside her, two guards from the Bakuru family asked a question. They had clearly noticed the hesitation in the girl's heart.

In recent years, due to war and famine, there have been many displaced people around. They have seen many similar situations and do not find them particularly novel.

"Well... thank you for your help..."

After hesitating for a moment, the girl finally nodded and did not refuse the guard's words.

·····················

Tick-tock...

The slow ticking of the clock echoed continuously in the small room.

On a fairly warm bed, a woman slowly opened her eyes.

If anyone were to see her at this moment, they would surely be drawn to her eyes.

Those were a pair of purple eyes, two purple eyes that looked pure and beautiful, like a pair of purple gems, irresistibly attracting the attention of those around them.

But beneath those purple eyes, the girl's appearance was enough to make one sigh with regret.

A long, narrow face was revealed, with fairly fair skin. However, on what was originally a pretty and delicate face, dense wrinkles appeared, making it look like the aged lines of an old person.

Among these dense folds, tiny blood vessels can be seen emerging.

Although her figure is not bad, her appearance alone is enough to make more than 90% of men give up all desire for her.

"Judging from this... I was rescued, right...?"

Quietly, she got out of bed, gently stretched out her hand, and looked at the clothes she was wearing that had been changed and the wounds on her body that had been clearly cleaned. The woman smiled, and the smile on her face seemed a little mysterious.

"Zamana... I will remember the lesson you taught me..."

A fleeting thought crossed her mind, and a name quickly came to mind, firmly etched into her heart.

"You're awake?" A voice came from outside the door.

Following the sound, the woman looked towards the door, but couldn't help but pause in surprise.

Outside the door, Wendy, dressed in a gray dress and with exquisite makeup, walked in carrying some things and just happened to see the woman getting out of bed.

She was somewhat surprised and delighted. She didn't pay much attention to the woman's stunned expression, assuming that the woman had just woken up and wasn't fully awake yet, which was why she seemed a little dazed.

But that was clearly not the reason the woman was stunned.

Sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, the woman quietly raised her head and looked at the girl who had walked into the room.

In her vision, the girl in front of her looked ordinary, her body was weak, and her soul was dim and dull. She seemed unremarkable, but she was shrouded in a deep power.

Those were purple threads of fate, intertwining and spreading across the girl's body, gradually deepening and extending outwards, seemingly converging in a certain direction, leading to a certain end.

Along with these densely packed threads of fate, a profound force of destiny also enveloped the girl, gradually transforming her originally ordinary nature.

If the girl's original destiny was simply to live as an ordinary person, then after being infected by this force of fate, she has deviated from her original trajectory, gradually spreading outwards and becoming immeasurable.

"The favor of fate...this girl is under the watchful eye of destiny..."

Looking at Wendy as she entered the room, the woman was somewhat surprised: "No! This favor from fate isn't her own, but rather the favor of those around her!"

"There must be a chosen one by the side of this girl, who is deeply favored by fate. Because of their close relationship, she has received his or her favor and influence in various ways."

In an instant, her eyes lit up, and countless thoughts raced through her mind, ultimately deducing the most likely outcome from the endless possibilities.

"Are you alright?"

Feeling the woman's gaze in front of her, Wendy couldn't help but speak first.

From the moment she arrived until now, the woman in front of her had been staring at her blankly, and that gaze made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hello there."

The woman came to her senses, a stiff smile appearing on her rigid face: "Sorry, I just woke up, my mind is a little foggy..."

"Did you save me?"

"You were lying on the road with wounds all over your body, and it was raining outside, so I had someone bring you back." Wendy nodded, acknowledging that she had rescued the woman, and then put down what she was holding, revealing the steaming broth inside.

"You've slept for a long time. Now that you're awake, eat something first. We can talk about other things later."

She put down the broth and some dried meat she had brought, looked at the woman's pale and weak face, and smiled as she spoke. Then she got up and slowly walked out.
