Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"Southern elves are born with a small missing piece on their ears. This is one of the reasons why the northern high elves discriminate against the southern elves, believing that the southern elves are born with defects. In fact, it has no effect."

That being said, it was really strange that the southern elves appeared in the territory of the northern elves and fainted after being drained of blood. Although the Elf Island was not divided in a practical sense, under Gwenhwaifer's policy, they should avoid exchanges as much as possible, unless he had some reason to stay in the north of the Elf Island.

Sister Alice placed her hand on the elf's chest and chanted magic to heal the male elf. This is an inherent magic of the human church, used to maintain the functioning of the heart. In the case of excessive blood loss, it can also produce blood in a short period of time without damaging the heart, thus preventing the wounded from dying from excessive blood loss.

Sister Alice tried her best to rescue him, and with Anna's help, it still took the male elf a long time to wake up, and his physical condition seemed to be worse than it looked.

“You guys… ahem…”

“The water is here.”

The elf drank the water to moisten his throat, and a little light began to return to his cloudy eyes.

"who are you?"

"No need to thank me. Brother, it is our duty to help each other."

"brother……?"

The male elves fell into confusion, and Angelica reluctantly pulled the excited Sister Alice aside.

"We are travelers passing by, led by the world's number one genius beautiful magician. You fainted in the middle of the road, and we rescued you. Sister Sister will be the primary doctor, Anna will assist, and I will be responsible for providing you with spiritual encouragement."

There is a beautiful girl waiting for you to wake up outside, so you should not report to the God of the Underworld, Angelica said.

I see, you didn't do anything.

The male elf twitched his lips, but he did not say it clearly. The southern elves also like to keep their distance, but they are far from being as arrogant as the high elves. The ability to communicate normally is the best proof.

Sister Alice persevered and poked her head out from behind Angelica.

“Don’t give thanks to us, give praise to the Lord!”

"My name is Brian. Although I don't really understand, I still want to thank the one called Lord."

302 Miss Witch and Blood Donation

The religion that Sister Alice believed in had a very subtle habit. It always attributed the credit to God rather than individuals. It was fine when she was thanked for helping others, but when she thanked others, she would reserve the words of praise for praising God.

For example, before eating, Sister Alice would not thank the tenant farmers who sowed the fields, but would only thank God for giving her the food.

Just hearing Brian praising God gave Sister Alice great satisfaction. She must have concluded that Brian was a brother of the same faith, so she did not actively preach to Brian.

When asked why he fainted in the middle of the road, Brian did not hide anything.

"I think it's due to too much blood donation."

"Donating blood... is it... is it the treatment method advocated by the famous "black" witch in the past?"

Anna's data contains knowledge about blood. A long time ago, Angelica traveled to the world of swords and magic and used some modern knowledge to show off, including blood transfusion therapy. In the Middle Ages, people knew very little about blood. Even the modern very basic knowledge that blood flows in the body was actually discovered in the 17th century.

By extracting blood and storing it, and then injecting it into the body when needed, Angelica made a lot of money using ideas that were ahead of the Middle Ages, but unfortunately all the money was squandered by Angelica.

Having said that, blood typing and blood storage must rely on magic, and many people do not trust blood transfusions - it is not their fault. In the real world, blood transfusions were not introduced until the 17th century, but due to technical reasons, the survival rate was low. It was not until the 19th century that the survival rate of blood transfusions barely reached 50%. In the early 20th century, with the discovery of human red blood cells by the research institute, blood transfusions finally became a scientific medical method. For all these reasons, blood transfusions are not a common treatment in the world of swords and magic.

"That may be the case. I am not interested in the history of blood donation, but I know that my blood can be exchanged for money."

Brian forced a pale smile. Angelica finally understood. Could it be that Brian was so weak because of selling blood?

In the era before Angelica traveled through time, blood donation was generally free of charge, but blood donation gave rise to an improper black market transaction, illegal blood trading, which is the so-called blood selling. The equipment used in blood selling is not safe, some have not been sterilized, and even worse, they will not care about the life of the other party and force a large amount of blood to be drawn, which may put life safety at risk at any time.

Originally, Angelica wasn't very interested in what happened to Brian, but since she was the one who brought the concept of blood transfusion into this world, she couldn't just sit back and watch when she heard about something like selling blood.

"Exchange for money? Is there a blood trading market on Albion Island?"

"You guys are going to exchange blood for money too? We don't collect human blood."

“And they don’t sell it.”

Sister Alice was devastated.

"Miss Sister, did you know this all along?"

"No matter where they hide the blood, it can't escape my sense of smell. I noticed that the elves were really happy when they used magic to store blood. If I could buy a blood bag, I wouldn't have to worry about finding food. But they didn't want to give me a blood bag, telling me that humans can't use elves' blood."

In fact, this is logically correct. Humans and elves cannot donate blood to each other, although Sister Alice buys blood for consumption.

Brian continued to explain.

"The high elves in the north value the purity of their bloodline. They advocate that the high elves should use the blood of the high elves, and other elves should use the blood of other elves. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the high elves are responsible for blood transfusion and classification. Elves who are willing to sell their blood can go to Hexham, which is the border between the south and the north, to trade."

"That's it..."

Angelica found that she seemed to have misunderstood. Blood donation was not widely accepted in this world, and no one would donate blood if it was free of charge. Therefore, the only strategy she could adopt was "there will always be brave men under a big reward". In other words, paid donations were the norm here, and Angelica's original common sense could not be used to measure it.

Anna made a suggestion.

"Mr. Brian, the blood you sold has exceeded the load that your body can bear. For the sake of your health, you must take good care of yourself."

"I also want to get well soon, but there's no other way. Hyde needs me, and selling blood is the only way I can get a large sum of money at once."

Brian said as he prepared to stand up, but his body just couldn't support it.

Sister Alice couldn't bear to see her brother suffer, so she offered to help Brian return home. Angelica had no objection. After all, judging from Brian's current condition, he might not be able to recover until tomorrow.

Brian was happy for the help from Angelica and the others. The elves would not thank him easily, but Brian had a lot to talk about during the journey.

"I see, Hyde is your lover."

Brian, sitting in the wheelchair that Anna had built, shook his head.

"No...she is not my lover yet."

"what?"

Brian said he donated blood for a woman named Hyde. Angelica originally thought she was Brian's relative. After a brief chat, she found out that Brian had a good impression of Hyde. For Hyde, Brian was willing to ruin his body.

"I do like Hyde... but we haven't established a clear relationship yet."

Angelica frowned.

"Just one more question, where did the money you earned from donating blood go?"

"All to Hyde."

"Not even a copper coin left?"

"She needs it more than I do."

Brian smiled miserably, and it seemed that because he thought of his beloved Hyde, his complexion actually looked much better.

During the conversation, Angelica and her group arrived at where Brian lived, but the scene in front of them made Angelica and others dumbfounded: Brian did not live in the town at all. He built a very simple tent in the wild and slept on the street.

"Ah, we're home now... Please take whatever you can see."

"I never hesitate to take things from others, but taking your things always feels like robbery."

Angelica's complaints were not without reason. All the materials for the camp where Brian lived came from the wild, because the elves could not destroy trees at will. Brian's rice bowls were made by chiseling a hole in a stone.

How can I put it? If a thief really broke in here, within a minute, he would definitely leave behind all the valuables on his body and leave crying with his face covered. It's really too shabby.

Angelica suddenly thought of Brian's tattered clothes.

"Your clothes are not..."

"I sold them all. Hyde needs the money."

303 Promise me you won’t be a bootlicker

"I don't see Miss Hyde here... doesn't she live here?"

Sister Alice looked around but didn't see anyone else.

Brian smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "Of course. How could Hyde live in such a shabby place? Besides, we are not lovers. Hyde lives in Hexham. Every time I sell blood, I can give the money to her immediately. It's very convenient."

Hexham happened to be the town where Angelica and the others would arrive if they hadn't met Brian. Angelica felt that it might be necessary to meet a woman named Hyde in Hexham.

"Mr. Brian, maybe it's offensive for Anna to ask this? Why does Ms. Hyde need money...?"

Anna's expression was full of concern. In Anna's understanding, Hyde must have encountered something that was worthy of Brian's sacrifice to the point of almost endangering his life. It was most likely a disease that required constant treatment.

But it is not polite to inquire about other people's privacy without permission. If Brian refuses to reveal it, Anna will never pester him.

Fortunately, Brian did not feel unhappy and told Anna very straightforwardly why Hyde needed money.

"Can you help me get the notebook out of the tent?"

"The notebook...is it this one with a brown cover?"

"Yes, I am almost too weak to write now. Please help me record it. First write today's date, and then write: I bought a dress for my beloved Hyde that was sent from afar."

Anna was stunned, and for a moment she couldn't understand what Brian meant.

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute."

Angelica stopped Anna first, with a rare look of surprise on her face.

"You sold your blood to the point of risking your life... just to buy Hyde a dress."

"I wish you wouldn't use the word just, you don't know how happy Hyde was to have that dress."

Brian was intoxicated by Hyde's smile, even though that smile was directed entirely at the new dress rather than Brian, but even so he was quite satisfied.

Angelica asked for Brian's notebook and flipped through it from the blank page.

On X/X/X, I bought a new dressing table for my beloved Hyde.

On X/X/X, I bought a new pair of glass shoes for my beloved Hyde.

On X/X/X, I bought a fragrant rose for my beloved Hyde...

All of them are about buying things for Hyde, and the dates are quite frequent.

Going further back, it is the reason why Brian was so poor. The notebook clearly records that Brian had some property at the beginning. However, in order to pursue Hyde, Brian sold his furniture, clothes, house, and everything of value. In the end, Brian had nothing, but still relied on the blood in his body to support Hyde's decadent life.

erosion.

Judging from the contents of the notebook, Hyde didn't have any terminal illness that required a large amount of money. She loved extravagant consumption, and the things she bought were all expensive consumables. Brian, who had been diligently providing for Hyde's expenses, was simply like...

"Lick...ah, that word might be a bit too strong."

Angelica almost said a word that she had almost forgotten after coming to the world of swords and magic: dog licker.

Generally speaking, a licker is someone who gives up his or her dignity and flatters someone without any bottom line. This is especially common when a boy is pursuing a goddess. After all, this word evolved from "spare tire" to some extent. However, the existence of lickers must be based on an environment where women have a sufficient status. In this world of swords and magic, the status of women in the human world is probably similar to that in the Middle Ages, so there will be no lickers who give up everything to pursue a goddess.

Of course, nothing is absolute. A beautiful girl like Angelica who has excellent magic talent is one of the few women with status. In addition, Angelica does not have the habit of not accepting gifts without merit. She will accept gifts from others if they really want them. Having said that, Angelica will not ask for endlessly from someone. Once she takes too much, she will feel a sense of indebtedness.

But in the world before Angelica traveled through time, the one who was flattered by the dog would often be placed in a very high position, and then lose the ability to recognize himself, and finally kick the dog away mercilessly.

A dog that licks will end up with nothing, this is a truth that Angelica is well aware of.

Apparently, there is no such thing as a bootlicker in the world of swords and magic, and Angelica doesn't think Brian will come to his senses after she tells him.

"By the way... Brian, you've been pursuing Hyde for quite some time. She hasn't established a clear relationship with you for five years. Don't you think she's just using you as a tool for her convenience?"

"How could that be? There are many elves pursuing Hyde, but now besides me, the rest are all high elves. I am the last elf left. What does this prove? In Hyde's heart, I am no less important than those high elves."

No, it's just that the other elves are not as stupid as you, right? Not only did they sell all their property, they even sold their blood, but they still believed that there was still a chance for them and Hyde.

"Then let me ask you again, did she make any promises to you? Did she ever reciprocate your feelings? Your notebook must have recorded fond memories of her...but you and Hyde only communicated for a period of time at the beginning, and then your communication became less and less. She didn't even allow you to enter Hexham casually. She didn't even want to see you. She only ordered you around when she needed money."

"She has her own social circle. How can I disturb her casually?"

"As an elf, how could you not understand? If the high elves knew that they had made friends with the elves in the south, they would be ridiculed by the high elves of the same race. Hyde is completely treating you as a burden."

"You don't understand Hyde... Let's put it this way, she is still in contact with me. Isn't she bearing the huge pressure of being ridiculed alone? How can I just abandon her...?"

"……Hopeless."

Angelica held her forehead with her hand. Brian's purity was too high. To be honest, in the world before she crossed over, few people could sell blood. Hyde was even better at sucking blood than Sister Alice.

Angelica and Brian are not related, and she decided to give advice because she didn't like such unequal efforts. However, Brian was as stupid as if he was cursed... No, it should be said that it is more terrible than a curse. If Hyde really cast a curse on Brian, Angelica dared to guarantee that she could do it in no more than three minutes without any sequelae and completely lift the curse.

But Brian seemed to be really not very smart, and even the witch was helpless.
