Chapter 208 Medical Miracle
Chapter 208 Medical Miracle
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 chose, 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, even if his own candle is about to go out.
As for what happens after death, as a dying person, I can't care so much.
Mondstadt is now thriving. Hasn't it also put an end to the life of this young patriarch who was once questioned for not having the talent of the Eye of God?
Diluk is so similar to me, except that my son is much luckier than me. With the Eye of God, I believe you will definitely go further.
Just like when I was a teenager, I was full of vigor and ambition, and wanted to change everything in Mondstadt. I showed them how young and ignorant they were.
Flowers may bloom again, but people never stay young. Now that he had created Mondstadt with his own hands, he could consider it as a gift for Diluk's wedding.
At least when they get married, their honeymoon won't be ended because of Mond's justice.
The so-called extension of life seems so illusory. If life could really continue forever, how could there be demons, gods and immortals passing away in the world, and how could there be the pain of separation in the human world?
Cripps was quite open-minded about this matter. He thought he might be extremely panicked and even resort to any means before death. But now he felt that he was much worse than he thought.
He had no interest in pursuing anything. All the hidden dangers were solved by him, so he died with his eyes closed.
"Sir, Mr. Wu Cheng is outside asking to see you. Do you want to see him now?" Charles' knock on the door interrupted Cripps's fantasy of the future.
"Ah? Is that so? Then why is it impossible for me to meet him? Brother Wu Cheng is a distinguished guest of our Leggenfind family. Just bring him directly to my office from now on." Cripps explained to Charles in a gentle tone.
Originally, after completing this diplomatic activity, Cripps should have immediately returned to the senior advisory office specially reserved for him by the Knights of Favonius in Mond.
However, due to Cripps's health condition and his intention to gradually pass on his power to the current acting leader and Diluk, he settled down in the Mondstadt Mansion that he had renovated.
On weekdays, the two young men would only discuss with him the important matters that they were unsure about. The rest of the time, he preferred to bask in the sun on the balcony of the luxury suite that he had decorated for himself.
The warm sun, coupled with the soothing breeze from Mondstadt, seemed to smell the scent of Thousand Winds wine.
Then Charles slowly pushed open the door, lowered his posture, and extended a please gesture with his right hand. He saw Wu Cheng, who had grown from a boy to a young man, and an old man with a candle that was about to go out.
"You're here." Cripps picked up the coffee cup in front of him, poured a cup of still warm coffee for himself and Wu Cheng, and then looked at him friendly.
"You know, Uncle Cripps, I will come sooner or later, it's just a matter of time." Wuchang looked at Cripps's aging appearance and felt inexplicably sad.
But fortunately, he was not here to say goodbye today. He was here to continue this story. Since he had changed the gears of fate, why not change it a little more? As for what would happen in the future, he didn't care.
People, if they do not change their predetermined fate when they have the ability to change everything, but only fear the so-called fate, then they will be slaves to fate.
Since he was at the mercy of fate, why not do nothing and just lie at home and see what fate would arrange for him? But I believe that after this conversation, Diluk would be surprised to see his father.
