It rained heavily all night, and the water on the coast rose a lot.

With the help of the natives, Cecil docked the boat on the sea and carried many wild fruits and herbs. When everything was ready, she looked back and saw the native standing beside the boat without getting on it.

"What's wrong? Come up here, we have to go."

Although the time they spent together was short, Cecile liked this naughty and cute native very much. Whether it was yesterday or today, it made a lot of jokes. She wanted to observe this native more in the future and study what was thinking in its head.

"It can't live without the island."

It's a pity that this native was made from the sand of this island, and its range of activities is destined to be inseparable from this island. If it is far away, the elf magic on it will lose its effectiveness and it will turn into a puddle of sand again.

If Seth's power is restored, it can make up for the shortcomings of magic and allow the natives to go anywhere freely. But now that his power is almost exhausted, he can barely try the magic of summoning the earth element.

After listening to Seth's explanation, Cecile looked at the native with regret. Thinking of not knowing whether we would see each other again after this farewell, she reached out her hand and gently touched the native's head.

"Thank you."

It stands to reason that natives cannot understand human language. But this time, before Seth could translate for it, it understood that Cecile was thanking it. Similarly, it is logical that a native who cannot fall in love with a human being looked at her gentle sky-blue eyes and felt his face heat up.

The aesthetics of the natives are different from that of humans. To them, human beauties are like stones in human eyes. No matter how beautiful they are, they are just a glance. However, this time, the native shyly handed the boat rope to Cecile, covered his face, turned around and ran into the forest.

Cecile held the boat rope in her hand and looked at the direction it was leaving, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Just like in the comics, pink circles appear on his face... This native is really cute.

He had never seen an elemental creature so humane before, and Seth looked at the direction in which the natives were leaving, dumbfounded. This action did not require him to explain anything. Cecile already fully understood that the native was running away shyly.

"Are all the ones you summon so cute?"

cute...

Recalling the huge water element summoned during the battle, Seth shook his head firmly. The water element is so reliable in battle, it is definitely different from this earth element. He vaguely wondered if it was the water element that used its last strength to bring him here.

If it were a Neptune type, it would definitely stay nearby to protect him after bringing him here. But he hadn't heard any movement from the Neptune type these days, so he guessed it was the water element.

The boat slowly left the island and drifted toward the sea along the current. The native who was hiding behind the tree watched the two people gradually go away. He didn't know what he thought of, and slowly raised his hand to wave to them.

It seemed like it had seen this move before, and it meant goodbye.

About half a day after leaving the island, Cecile sat on the boat, sorting out the herbs, and slowly packed them into categories. Then he took out the blue-black pills that he had prepared a long time ago and put them into a bowl. He dissolved them with water and gave them to Seth.

Ignoring Seth's painful trembling, Cecile took the medicine spoonful after spoonful. She is completely different from the person she is when she treats patients. She is usually such a gentle and kind person, but she will not compromise when treating patients. Even if they are forced, they will make the patients take medicine, and if they don't obey, they will use strong methods to achieve their goals.

Compared with other disobedient patients, Seth is very obedient. She has never seen anyone so afraid of drinking bitter medicine, let alone someone who would drink medicine obediently even if they were so afraid.

Does she look terrible?

Cecile, who was clearing away the dishes, couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong.

That evening, Cecile, who was preparing dinner, saw a small boat ahead of her from a distance. Although it was a small boat, it was two times larger than theirs. But there was no sign of anyone in the boat, and it was just floating on the sea.

"Set, look, there is a boat."

Hearing this, Seth, who was originally drowsy, opened his eyes and looked in that direction. There is indeed a boat, but... why is there a small boat in the middle of such a sea?

Before he could have any doubts, the sea breeze blew gently by his ears and told him what was going on on the small boat.

"There is a girl on board and she has a fever."

"What? Let's go and take a look!"

The sea breeze gently pushed their boat, allowing them to successfully catch up with the boat in front. Cecile grabbed the coaming of the small boat and took a look. Sure enough, as Seth said, there was a girl lying on the board. Seeing her flushed face and delirious state, Cecile knew that she was seriously ill now.

"I'll go take a look."

After saying that, Cecile picked up the boat rope and fixed the two boats, then stood up and stepped to the girl's side.

After a simple examination, Cecile already knew why the girl fell ill. It was because the heating facilities were not installed and I caught a cold. Moreover, it seemed that the illness was so sudden that by the time she noticed the discomfort and put on warmer clothes, it was already too late.

After skillfully giving her fever-reducing medicine, moistening a handkerchief and putting it on her forehead, Cecile took the medical kit and returned to their boat.

Her medicine is very good, and the fever will probably go away in a while.

"She just has a fever and will be fine after a while."

Fortunately, it's not a serious disease, otherwise there would be nothing that can be done with the few medicinal materials on hand.

Hearing this, Seth nodded and said nothing more. It was just one more person, and he had no objections.

From the beginning, Seth has been listening to some surrounding information from Hai Feng, such as there is an uninhabited island in a certain direction, and there are Neptunes in a certain direction. But no information about the village was ever heard.

Maybe their route was wrong and they had to go around for a long time to find an inhabited village.

Although he does predict the weather and can read the currents to avoid dangerous sea areas. But it is really difficult to move without a navigation chart in hand.

The most important thing is that he will not die even if he doesn't eat or drink. At most, his recovery will be slower. But not Cecile. She is a human being and will definitely fall ill if she cannot eat nutritious food for a long time.

And...Cecile cared more about his patients than he imagined. If he doesn't eat, he will use force to force him to eat, no matter how he explains, it will be useless.

Alas... what to do?

Two hours later, the girl with high fever finally woke up.

"Um...I'm..."

The girl stared at the sky blankly, thinking about what had happened to her. She seemed to have been caught in a little rain near an uninhabited island. In order to get out of the rainy area, she had no time to change her clothes and began to change the route in a hurry.

After everything settled, she felt a chill. Thinking of her being exposed to the rain and the sea breeze all night, she quickly changed into warmer clothes and took medicine to sleep.

She had been feeling groggy and uncomfortable in her sleep. Because of the fever, she had no strength all over her body and her head hurt badly.

Later...it seemed like someone gave her a bowl of bitter liquid to drink, and she felt the burning sensation all over her body begin to subside...in other words, someone had been to her ship?

Thinking of this, the girl quickly sat up, looked around and found Cecile and Seth.

"Did you help me treat my illness?"

The answer is obvious, if not them, who else can help her see a doctor and give her medicine in the middle of the ocean?

Unexpectedly, after seeing her, the two men did not throw her into the sea and take away her boat and food. Instead, they treated her and took her with them. She suddenly understood what the great virtuous man the bard said was like.

"My name is Linda Uria, and I am an explorer. Thank you for saving me."

"Explorer? The kind who specializes in going to those ruins or mysterious forests?"

Cecile responded to Linda while making rice cereal for dinner. She could tell from the girl's expression that she was an upright girl. Although she is a bit ignorant like a little girl, overall she does not look like a bad-hearted person.

"But I'm not bold enough to go to that kind of place. At most, I'm a traveler, going to various cities to experience the culture and history there. Well... I'm kind of a traveler."

Indeed, if you just walk around and experience life, you are more suitable to be called a traveler than an explorer. But according to Linda, she doesn't have the courage to go now, but that doesn't mean she won't dare to go in the future. Maybe I will dare to go exploring when I grow up a little.

The two chatted for a while, and Linda saw Cecile stirring rice paste and quietly observing the supplies on their ship. There were only two travel bags, one of which was also filled with herbs. In other words, they are very short of food now.

After making this judgment, Linda opened her pocket and rummaged through to find five or six ready-to-eat cans and two water bags.

"Sister Cecil, this is for you to eat."

"This...is this?"

Seeing the beef, canned fish and two large bags of water Linda handed her, Cecile looked at her pocket in surprise. A can was bigger than her fanny pack, how did she fit it in?

Seeing this, Seth, who had been listening to their conversation quietly, looked over. Seeing Linda take out another instant can from her pocket, she understood.

"A person with the ability to shrink fruit?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

It seems she hasn't said it yet? How did he know?

But this is indeed the ability to shrink the fruit. However, it will not shrink itself, but will make the items touched shrink several times or hundreds of times according to her ideas. Although this ability is convenient, it has several limitations.

For example, she cannot shrink living creatures, which means that living animals or seeds will not be affected by her fruit ability. Dead fish are okay, but live fish are not. Fresh fruit is not acceptable, but canned fruit is.

Moreover, her ability is to shrink objects of their original size, and she has no ability to enlarge them.

After understanding the scope of her abilities, Linda put many essential travel items in her pocket. She has a lot of ready-to-eat cans or grains in her bag, which is enough for her to eat alone for several years.

If it could maintain its quality, it would be a space bag, but it's a pity that the fruit's ability is not that incredible. Even if it shrinks, it will still deteriorate and break one day.

Linda's appearance eased Cecile and Seth's troubles. With her treasure chest, Seth finally knew where they were now through the nautical charts. He adjusted the ship's sailing direction and headed towards the nearest village.

After another three days, the two boats finally arrived at a small island. According to the nautical chart, there is a small village on this island. The fruit trees on the island will bear fruit at this season every year, and people in the villages will pick the fruits and sell them to merchants who pass by here regularly.

However, it seems that the harvest has not started yet. The fruit trees on the island are still full of fruits, and only a few fruit trees have no fruits.

Linda and Cecile helped Seth onto the bed, but Linda still couldn't help but ask.

"Are you serious? Do you really want to live here for a month?"

When the village chief asked them how long they would stay, Cecile said they would stay for a month without even thinking about it, which made her somewhat puzzled. Didn't she say that this village chief looks like a poor village, and he might starve to death with the villagers if he lives here...

Seth has nothing to say about this. Since the day he was picked up by Cecile, he seemed to have lost the qualification to offer opinions. If you want to give advice, you must first become a healthy person. Patients have no personality.

But judging from his current recovery...well, I guess this will be the case for the next two to three years.

"Well, Seth needs a good rest now."

Cecile nodded and explained to Linda.

She also saw the situation in the village. Most of them were old people and did not have much practical ability at all. Now she was a little doubtful about how this village survived until now.

But I finally found a village with people. At least I wasn't afraid of wild beasts invading me when I slept at night, so I could rest peacefully. As for food...she can grow some vegetables in the front yard, so she won't starve to death.

On the other side, several old people gathered in the village chief's room, discussing something with the doors and windows closed.

"Who came to the village today? I thought she said she was a traveling doctor?"

"Yes, it's the person the pirate mentioned."

Hearing this, the old men took a breath and looked hesitant. One of the older men sighed and slowly stroked his beard.

"That doctor looks like a kind-hearted and good boy. If we betray such a person, we will be punished by God."

"But...but if we don't do it, our children will...!"

"...Why did you come to this village...Why..."

This group of old men who had never done anything bad in their lives covered their faces in pain and looked very sad. However, not everyone was as troubled and sad as they were. Three of the old men looked at each other and stroked their beards in silence.

Just because of an outsider, the village suffered this disaster. Their child was beaten and seriously injured for no reason, and you still want them to have a favorable impression of her? They would feel uncomfortable if they didn't capture her and give her to the pirate named Deaver!

But before sending him there, he could make use of this doctor and let her treat their child's injuries.

Anyway, everything happened because of her, so she should be held responsible.
