The captain could not believe his eyes when Grimm, who was in his twilight years, appeared on the traveling fleet with his walking stick.
"Hey, who sold the tickets to them? I won't accept an old man who died on the ship halfway. That would bring bad luck to us! Damn you, Thomas, how dare you disobey my orders. I'm going to drown you in the toilet! "
The 1.9-meter-tall burly man roared as he walked against the travelers on the corridor. The travelers made way for the aggressive burly man, and the baby in the woman's arms even started crying. Grimm trembled as he leaned against the railing of the deck. His eyes under his tanned skin looked into the distance, at the lush green grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see.
However, Thomas, who was appointed by the captain to be in charge of the accounts, was a skinny fellow who was only 1.6-meter-tall. He was instructing two odd-job workers to carry a stretcher. On it was a pale old woman who looked like she could die at any moment. She seemed to be the old man's wife. This scene stunned the captain!
"You!"
However, before the captain could say anything, Thomas quickly pulled him to the side.
Thomas fumbled around with his trembling right hand and took out a handkerchief. He opened a few layers of the package, and a level-3 sand crystal appeared. The burly man was immediately shocked. He covered Thomas' hand and calmed himself down.
"This is an order from Grand Duke Peach Blossom. We must send these two nobles to the designated Oasis Kingdom. We have to accept it! Moreover, the cost of this sand crystal is enough for us to make a few trips. We're going to be rich this time! "
The captain, who had calmed down, looked at the two sailors carrying the old woman on the stretcher. He then looked at the few travelers who were peeping at them. When he looked at Grimm, who was leaning on his black walking stick, the latter was also looking at him. He immediately felt that this unassuming old farmer had an indescribable noble temperament. He was like an ant standing at the feet of a giant.
"Send them to room 1 immediately. Thomas, you're in charge of this personally!"
As he spoke, the captain walked up to Grimm. This huge guy bent down slightly and said to Grimm in a low voice, "If there's anything you need, contact Thomas. There might be some chaos along the way, but I've taken care of both sides. Generally, there won't be any problems. If anything happens, your room is the safest."
After that, the captain acted as if nothing had happened and left. Thomas then instructed the two odd-job workers to carry the stretcher forward.
…
Five days later.
The new oasis land between the major oasis kingdoms had a subtropical monsoon climate. During the rainy summer season, it was often covered with short green grass. The roots of these plants were very developed, and they still maintained the characteristics of the vegetation during the Sandstorm World. At this time, it was green summer.
Along the way, the wreckage and corpses of the desert ships kept appearing at the end of the horizon. They could even hear the battle cries in the distance.
The borders of the Oasis Kingdom expanded, and so did their ambitions and desires. The conflicts between the different royal families intensified day by day. The war had already started, but it had yet to fully erupt. However, the sporadic conflicts never stopped.
"Cough, cough, cough. I'm afraid I won't be able to last until then. I don't have much HP left."
Millie said weakly at the head of the bed, not forgetting to crack a joke.
"I didn't clear the game in my second life. I came to this world in a hurry after the exploration. This time, it's finally over, so we must go together. With your body's functions in the natural environment, if you can avoid the dust when you cough, you can last for another year or two. Even with the small amount of dust now, it shouldn't be a problem for you to last two to three months. Once we meet that transmigrator NPC, we'll have cleared the game in this world. How about that? "
Grimm also responded to Millie in a joking manner.
Knowing that nothing could be hidden from Grimm, Millie smiled and did not say anything else. She tried her best to reduce her coughing.
…
A month later.
The Krosas Oasis Kingdom was the most prosperous and powerful of the dozens of oasis kingdoms in the vicinity. It was no exaggeration to say that even if the second most powerful king of the Oasis Kingdom and the third most powerful oasis kingdom joined forces, they would not be as powerful as the Krosas Oasis Kingdom.
Grimm hired two laborers to carry Millie on the stretcher like a local who could predict the future. After passing through the streets and alleys of the main city, he brought the two laborers to a clinic. Business did not seem to be very good. It was a little hot and stuffy, and there were not many customers. A tall and skinny doctor with a mole on his cheek was so bored that he was about to fall asleep.
"Hehe, it's still here. If this guy hadn't followed the Sorcerer and passed by the Buckthorn Village, I wouldn't have been able to detect this guy's abnormality without opening the seal. Now that I've seen it, the third level of the game is over. Let's get ready for the fourth level. I wonder how many levels of worlds we can go through together, and how many Celestial Sovereigns trapped in the Endless World will be like us, bored to death day and night, looking for fun."
Grimm said to Millie in a relaxed manner.
"Oh? So it's this guy? What's his hidden purpose in this world? For wizards? "
Millie coughed on the stretcher, looking as if she could die at any moment. She glanced sideways at the doctor in the clinic. Apart from her rather unique facial features, there was no sign of any abnormality in her disguise. It seemed that she had been hiding in this world for a long time and had only come up with an idea at the last minute.
Grimm smiled secretly, but he pretended to be anxious as soon as he entered the door. He was about to cry and said, "Doctor, please take a look at my old lady. She, she, she's going to die …"
Grimm's voice was trembling, as if he was extremely sad before his death. Millie also kept coughing to cooperate with Grimm.
The doctor was 1.8 meters tall. His face shape was different from that of ordinary people. He had two tufts of mustache. After observing Millie's condition, he stroked his mustache and said calmly, "Birth, aging, illness, and death are the laws of nature. No one can avoid it. Although I'm a little famous here, I'm not those wizards who have the ability to prolong the life of the royal family, so there's nothing I can do. How about this, I'll prescribe a few herbs that can temporarily reduce her pain and let her die peacefully. "
After saying that, the old man walked to the counter and wrote a prescription.
"Sob sob sob, but I heard that some wild magical herbs have the effect of a divine artifact and can save my old lady. It's a pity that the road is too far, and I don't know how to go to the wild worlds. It'll be great if you can help me. Otherwise, if my old lady dies, there'll be no point in me living. "
Grimm's casual words made the old man tremble!
