"Lord Ellie, something bad has happened! The team led by Lord Da Di encountered an accident, and there are many injured. Fortunately, no one died." The report to Ellie was from the hunting team that Uncle was in charge of.
"Understood. Tell Uncle I'll go treat the injured later. So, Number Two, do you have anything else to report?" Ellie asked with a yawn.
Many of these people didn't have names, and Ellie was too lazy to name all of them like Rimuru next door, so she just used numbers to call these guys who came to report work.
"There's one more thing: that mother and daughter want to see Lord Bai Xia."
"Oh… Understood. Have them go directly to the hunting team's area later. I'll be heading there directly." Ellie knew immediately who they were referring to.
But after what she did, shouldn't they be avoiding her? Why were they actively seeking her out?
This made Ellie ponder, but since she was bored anyway, she decided to meet them!
After Ellie finished speaking, she sat up and stretched. This irritating role really didn't suit her.
She should be more suited to a role where she hides behind the scenes, pulls back a curtain, watches a group of fools being played in the palm of her hand, and then reveals a sinister smile. That's the kind of role that suited her.
"Then let's get going quickly! It's not good to make the injured wait." Ellie sprang up from the wooden bed. Incidentally, this carefully carved wooden bed was offered by these commoners after they made it.
Because of this, Arute and Uncle even made fun of her for a long time.
Honestly, these commoners really treated her as their ruler. Although when she initially told them to obey, she did say she wanted those commoners as her servants. This is what they call 'trouble from the mouth'!
"But Lord Bai Xia, there's still…" Number Three still wanted to say something, a bit anxious.
"Never mind. You all discuss the rest among yourselves. If you can solve it yourselves, then solve it. If you can't, just leave it there for me to do… That's all."
Ellie didn't care about these things. The original intention of choosing these few was to have them continue to take on management responsibilities after she left.
Although this decision was quite casual, it was their own human business anyway. Didn't the Slane Theocracy, such an infuriating country, come about in the end even without her interference? Let them be!
Ellie finished speaking and immediately darted out of her largest "shack." That's right… even a shack was the largest and most conspicuous among everyone's. Wasn't this intentionally telling people to attack here, signaling that there was an important person?
After their ruler, Lord Bai Xia, ran out, the few people who were at a loss looked at each other, then all laughed.
"On the surface, she looks ruthless, but in reality, Lord Bai Xia is still a good person," one of them said with a sigh.
"Although she usually looks uninterested in everything, as soon as she hears there are injured, she immediately rushes over to treat them…" another one said.
"Why are you still standing here? Didn't you hear what Lord Bai Xia just said? Hurry up and notify that mother and daughter to go see Lord Bai Xia! Do you want to make Lord Bai Xia wait long?!" One of them seemed to remember something and quickly shouted at Number Two.
"I'm going right now!" Number Two also quickly ran out.
"Lord Bai Xia is just such a person, cold on the outside but warm on the inside… And have you all heard? Some time ago, the guards on night watch once saw Lord Bai Xia perform a miracle alone in the forest, and then all the dark clouds in the sky disappeared!" one person whispered mysteriously.
"I've heard that too. This matter is also spreading below. Since Lord Bai Xia can even control life and death, wouldn't controlling the weather be as easy as flipping a hand? But speaking of which, why would Lord Bai Xia want to control the weather?" one of them asked, a bit puzzled.
"You idiots!" The oldest person, who had just given orders to Number Two, roared with an annoyed expression.
"Don't you even know this?! We didn't even have a place to live some time ago! If Lord Bai Xia hadn't controlled the weather to stop the rain, could us old bones have endured it?!" That person shouted at the young people with great dissatisfaction.
"So that's how it is. As expected of Lord Bai Xia… She even considered that…" Then everyone present who was enlightened couldn't help but show expressions of reverence towards Lord Bai Xia.
"Achoo…" Ellie rubbed her nose. Were those commoners talking about her again? After all, she was the great demon lord who rose to power through intimidation, so being talked about was normal, Ellie thought. Then she headed towards the hunting team's gathering place. From a distance, she saw Uncle, looking quite distressed, guarding many injured people.
"Uncle, uh… so serious, and so many? What did you hunt this time?" As soon as Ellie arrived, she saw dozens of injured people lying on the ground. Usually, there were only a few at most.
And most of them were just superficial wounds, but this time it was different. Ellie glanced at the injured people lying on the ground, groaning in pain. A large portion were burned, a few were corroded by something, and some even had their arms severed.
This was not the kind of damage that ordinary monsters could cause. One must know that Uncle was leading them, and Uncle was the most reliable teammate among these companions. Moreover, Uncle was originally skilled in defensive combat, so with him there, it shouldn't have resulted in so many people being injured like this.
"It's a long story. I've also called Arute and the others over. Lord Bai Xia, please trouble you to treat them first." Uncle also said to Ellie with a somewhat nervous expression.
Ellie instinctively understood that something bad must have happened. After all, after she became the "master" of these commoners, Uncle would jokingly call her Lord Bai Xia in situations where commoners were present, but he didn't call her that just now.
This explained a lot, and he had also called the others over… which meant the problem must be very serious.
"I'll treat them right away." Ellie nodded, then began to cast healing magic on these people one by one. For minor injuries, the most basic healing magic was sufficient, but for those with severe burns, a slightly higher level of healing magic had to be used. For those with serious injuries, missing limbs, Holy Healing was necessary.
Just as Ellie was healing the injured, the mother and daughter she had promised earlier also arrived. Seeing Ellie concentrating on casting healing magic on the injured, they very consciously retreated to the side and waited silently.
