Chapter 207 Medical Treatment
Wu Cheng strolled through the current Mond Mansion. With a hint of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, he carefully looked at every decoration in the mansion. He found that the decoration style here seemed to be inextricably linked to Cripps' personal aesthetics.
The entire mansion is filled with a wine-red romantic style, just like the decorations in the rooms of Chenxi Winery, full of the elegance of the old aristocratic era.
There are exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls, and the scenery in the paintings seems to bring people into a dreamlike world; the crystal chandeliers emit soft light, illuminating every corner; the exquisite carpets are soft to step on, as if to make people forget all their worries.
All of these decorations reveal the word "expensive", and each one looks like a carefully selected work of art.
However, for the wealthy Leggenfind family, these things actually didn't cost much if you counted them carefully.
The Legenfind family has a deep foundation and huge industry in Mond City. To them, wealth may be just a number.
What they pursue is not only material luxury, but also a kind of cultural and taste inheritance. It is also a carrier to show the ancient culture of Mond.
The decorations of Mond Mansion are undoubtedly the perfect embodiment of their pursuit. Wu Cheng secretly sighed in his heart that this is the life of the nobility, revealing a kind of refinement and luxury everywhere.
On this sunny day, the leader was walking in the streets of Mondstadt. The breeze was blowing gently, bringing with it the unique freshness of Mondstadt.
He raised his head inadvertently and glanced at everything around him, and instantly felt that Mond was completely different from before.
In the past, in his impression, Mond was like a spoiled child, always lazy and dependent, and the image of a "giant baby" was deeply rooted in his mind. But now, this stereotype has gradually loosened in his mind.
Look, on the streets, the people of Mondstadt come and go, and everyone's face is filled with hope for life. Their smiles are like flowers blooming in spring, bright and full of vitality.
The drunkards and idlers who used to be everywhere seemed to have been blown away by a mysterious wind and were hard to find. Those who were once regarded as "giant babies" also disappeared without a trace without anyone noticing.
In the past, they always relied on others, even for trivial matters. For example, to repair a broken window at home, they might have looked forward to neighbors or church members to help.
Or cleaning up the fallen leaves in front of the door, they always find various excuses to delay. Now, they finally understand how to do these things by themselves.
On the streets, you can often see people sweeping the ground carefully with brooms, and people climbing up ladders to repair roof tiles. Everyone is working hard for their own lives, and that positive energy infects everything around them.
Wu Cheng was not unaware of all these changes. Through the huge and efficient intelligence organization under his brother Hilde, he learned about Cripps, the key figure behind all these changes.
The head of the House of Regenfind was supposed to be a dead person in the past. If he really died as in the original story, then even if Mondstadt solved the dragon plague, the city would still not be able to get rid of the inertia in its people.
At that time, Mondstadt might have regained its peace on the surface, but it was still stagnant inside. People still relied on Barbatos, the god of wind, and waited for the god's blessing when they encountered problems, instead of taking the initiative to think and act.
Take the small drought that Mond encountered as an example. In the past, people would definitely gather in front of the church and pray to the wind god to send down rain.
This shows that oftentimes, what people say cannot be changed is actually just a lack of a person to take the lead. Cripps is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
The Regenfind family has always been an important presence in Mondstadt on the continent of Windyvat. Not to mention that after all the old noble forces appeared, Gunnhild and Regenfind were almost equivalent to the rulers of Mondstadt.
However, in recent years, a different kind of tension and anxiety has permeated the family mansion. The Legenfend family has been trying their best to find a good doctor and a good prescription.
The family's spies traveled to every corner of the continent, from the famous doctors' family in Liyue to the mysterious scholars in Xumi. As long as they heard of a way to cure diseases, save lives, and prolong life, they would explore it at all costs.
The family's study is filled with various ancient books and medical books, which are densely packed with records on how to prolong life and other content. Every word seems to carry the family's hope.
Obviously, all this urgency stems from the physical condition of Cripps, an important figure in the family. Cripps, a once powerful figure in Mondstadt, is now about to reach his physical limit.
His face became paler and his sunny smile was gradually covered by the shadow of illness. He often felt powerless and had to stop and catch his breath every few steps. His once strong body seemed to be eroded by the years and was on the verge of collapse.
Now he can only rely on the advanced wheelchair imported from Fontaine to handle daily affairs.
Once upon a time, a skilled doctor diagnosed Cripps and gave him clear medical advice. If he could really follow the doctor's advice at the time, quietly recuperate at the Morning Light Winery and not worry about anything, he would have no problem living for ten years.
Chenxi Winery is a peaceful and beautiful place. The grapevines all over the hills sway gently in the breeze, exuding a faint fruity fragrance. The houses in the winery are scattered and the stone walls shine warmly under the sun.
Cripps could have been here, waking up every morning to the singing of birds, strolling through the vineyards, feeling the sun shining on him;
In the evening, sitting on the terrace of the winery, watching the sunset gradually set, tasting the fine wine brewed by himself, he no longer had to worry about the political affairs of Mondstadt, no longer worried about the rise and fall of his family, but just quietly enjoying these last moments.
But fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just one year after the incident with the dragon Ursa, Cripps' heart that was concerned about Mondstadt began to be restless again.
After the crisis of the dragon Ursa, Mondstadt fell into an unprecedented crisis due to the snow mountain incident and the emptiness left behind by the Grand Master's expedition.
A strong sense of responsibility surged in Cripps' heart. He could no longer stay at the Dawn Winery to recuperate peacefully, and resolutely returned to Mondstadt's core decision-making circle.
When he stepped into the familiar meeting room again, everyone looked at him with surprise and admiration. Of course, some people also felt embarrassed.
He participated in every discussion and decision-making with his slightly weak but still firm voice. He regained his original status and power, but also paid a heavy price for it.
His health deteriorated due to the high-intensity work, but he never regretted it. He knew that he might not have much time left, but he wanted to use this limited time to pave a more solid path for the future of Mondstadt.
This is the path he has chosen, and it is also the path that the Leggenfend family has always chosen, that is, to be the first person to light the fire and illuminate the darkness before the light comes.
