Chapter 809 Helen
In the church, Lu Yu came to the table and looked at Helen lying on the table.
Helen was beautiful; her fair and flawless skin had a faint pink tinge. Her perfect oval face had exquisite facial features, with long and thin eyelashes along her deep eyes. Her pink lips were like freshly ripe peaches.
Judging from her age, she was about 15 or 16 years old. However, if one counted the age at which she was asleep, she was much older. Lu Yu could even call her a great-grandmother.
“This is a very effective recovery potion. It can heal most of the diseases and injuries in the human body.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu took out a green potion.
Helen’s father took the bottle, opened it, and took a sip. After confirming there were no problems with it, he gave the potion to Helen.
“My name is Evan. Thank you for saving us. Everyone in our family is indebted to you.”
Lu Yu smiled faintly. “This is a small matter. By the way, can we stay here for a night?”
Evan nodded and said with a smile, “Of course. You are my daughter’s benefactor, so why wouldn’t I agree to such a small matter? The two of you look like a match made in heaven…”
Lu Yu raised his hand to interrupt him. Obviously, this person thought he and Han Xuefei were a couple.
As for Han Xuefei, her usually cold face was now slightly red.
“I have a few questions. Do you know much about Lord Claine?”
Evan frowned and thought momentarily before answering, “Lord Claine is a powerful cultivator, and he is an existence that all of us look up to. His strength has completely exceeded the imagination of any of us, and I doubt anyone would be willing to go up against him.”
“How strong is he? Have you seen him in a battle?”
“No, but he has a terrifying nickname, the God of Space.”
Lu Yu was slightly confused, as this title initially sounded quite ordinary. It wasn’t unusual for people to give themselves nicknames with the titles of emperors or self-proclaimed supreme beings. So, the God of Space…
Perhaps it had something to do with the crystal with the same name. The Claine Crystal could open up the passage between the two worlds, being a power that represented space itself.
“Zena, go and tidy up a room for them and clean it. Those guest rooms have long since become dilapidated after all this time.”
Zena bowed. “Yes.”
After she left, everyone watched as Helen’s condition improved.
She opened her eyes, revealing a pair of crystal-clear blue pupils. She blinked and finally woke up.
“Helen, you finally woke up! I was so scared and thought you would never wake up again!”
Evan exclaimed excitedly as he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.
“What’s wrong with her?” Lu Yu walked over and asked.
“Not all people who are asleep can be revived smoothly. If they are infected with some disease or something, they can easily fall into a coma. After all, when we just woke up, our bodies were weak and frail.”
“As for what illness caused the problem, we don’t know for the time being. We only know that she wasn’t able to wake up.”
“I have to thank you again for helping our family.”
Lu Yu approached Evan and asked carefully, “Do you know of an organization? The Truth Department?”
“Hmm… I’ve heard of it, but this organization is so ancient that I thought they had disappeared.”
“When we were recovering, we seemed to have seen some people operating under the banner of the Truth Department.
Lu Yu nodded. “Yes, it’s them. The Truth Department still exists. Can you tell us about it?”
“The only Truth Department I know of is the one in history. They are an organization under the personal command of the Emperor of the Ember Empire. They only listen to the Emperor and are his pawns.”
“Of course, what they were in charge of were dirty secrets. The Emperor disdained doing it himself, so he arranged for them to deal with it in secret.”
“For example, if any noble has selfish motives, he will send people to secretly take action.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. He now knew more about the Truth Department.
Helen sat up and rubbed her tired eyes.
Someone beside her quickly brought a bowl of nutrient solution and asked her to gulp it down.
“Helen, you almost didn’t wake up. Do you know that?”
She rubbed her eyes and looked at Evan. “Is that so? Did you all wake up earlier than me?”
Evan nodded. “That’s right. If our benefactor hadn’t coincidentally come to Black Rock City, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been easy to save you.”
Although there might be medicine in Black Rock City, it would have been from ancient times and not been as effective. More importantly, they did not know what kind of illness Helen had.
Therefore, Lu Yu’s all-purpose recovery potion helped her recover quickly.
The girl looked at Lu Yu and nodded slightly. “Thank you for saving me…”
“No need to thank me…”
At this moment, Zena walked in and told Lu Yu and Han Xuefei, “Your rooms have been tidied up; you can move in now.”
Lu Yu and Han Xuefei followed Zena immediately.
The two of them left the church under her lead.
In the church, Evan looked at Helen and said, “These are the people of this world. They’ve changed so much.”
“The era where we didn’t even have enough to eat in the past is coming to an end. Fortunately, our leader made a wise decision to let us fall into a long slumber.”
Evan sighed in admiration.
“Dad, the two of them must have a lot of good things from their era. We can barter with him.” Helen’s suggestion enlightened Evan.
“Indeed. Oh, right, I still have a few old antiques around. I’ll see if our two benefactors like them.”
After saying that, he walked towards the cellar…
Lu Yu and Han Xuefei had arrived at a small villa. Although it was called a villa, it was a beautiful stone house. It was pretty spacious and had several rooms.
“The rooms have been tidied up. You can move in directly.”
Lu Yu and Han Xuefei entered the house. The place was simple, with most of the furniture taken away. After all, not much was left of them after a thousand years.
“I feel that we are getting closer and closer to the truth of this empire.” Han Xuefei spoke up.
“Indeed, Lord Claine must be an extraordinary person, and we’re already in his territory.”
“However, I worry about his prowess after he recovers. It will probably be a difficult fight.”
Lu Yu sighed. “No wonder so many people think that we can’t defeat the Ember Empire with the huge gap in our strength. I’m afraid that even the combined forces of our three countries will be difficult to fight against them…”
