Of course, Wood couldn’t know what was happening inside the temple. At this moment, he was sent back by his co-workers to the small house which was specially prepared for the single craftsmen among the pioneers. Although it was not big, it had all the things that he needed.
After a while, a grandmother came to the house and told Wood that she was the captain of the medical team in the town. She was responsible for caring for the injured and the sick. Every morning and evening, people from the medical team would come to his house to take care of him and check his wound to make sure that it wouldn’t get worse.
Wood felt warm in his heart. He said, smiling, “It’s just a scratch on my leg. It doesn’t affect my actions. No need to bother.”
“Don’t say that! Do you know how to care for the wound? Trauma needs fresh bandages to be re-wrapped regularly. Even if you have learned a little bit of bandaging, how can you compare with the people in our medical team!” The old grandmother was not tall, but she was vigorous with a pair of bright eyes. The kindness and concern in her eyes made Wood feel warm in his heart, so he couldn’t say anything to refuse her.
The grandmother checked his wound and nodded. “The priest in the temple wrapped this, right? I smell the healing potion. But to be honest, his technology is not as good as ours.”
Wood couldn’t help but smile. “Of course, you are professional!”
“Ha ha, young man, you are a sweet talker!” The old grandmother laughed happily. “But I am old. I’m not the one who has the best skill of wrapping wounds in the medical team. Next time I’ll bring her to help you change your bandages and wrap your wound, then you’ll know how good her skill is!”
Wood nodded repeatedly; he couldn’t help but be curious.
It was just a medical team in a town. To be honest, they were just some civilians who knew a little about bandaging. How did they have the confidence that they were greater than the priests who specialized in medical treatment?
The old grandmother might be bragging, but it was always better for the elder to be proud than to be frustrated.
Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled one thing, so he curiously asked, “May I know your name? My name is Wood, and I am a carpenter.”
“I know that you are Carpenter Wood. It is written on your door plate, Carpenter Wood’s Home,” the grandmother said, smiling. “I’m Stinna. I used to be a maid. Now I am the captain of the medical team.”
“Maid?” Wood stunned, and he got more curious. Pyroxene Town was located in the Ashes Woods which was a really remote place. Even if a few rich people lived here, it was impossible to train a professional maid, let alone Grandma Stinna who knew how to read. The level was so high that he felt it was literally incredible.
If she was the wife of the former mayor or a high-level believer in a temple, then it would be normal. However, how could she be just a maid?
Stinna felt his astonishment, so she said with a smile, “That was a long time ago… When I was a maid of a big aristocratic family, whose name can’t be told because it may be troublesome if I say it, my young master read too many knight novels. Therefore, he wanted to be an adventurer. After learning some skills for a few years, he got a set of luxury equipment, and then he came out to adventure the world with a few recruits and me.”
“It was quite smooth at the beginning. He did a lot of famous things. Later, he got too confident and went to kill a dragon, and the result can be imagined… I was lucky enough to survive, but I dared not stay in the inland any more. I fled to the border area of the Ashes Woods, and suddenly it has been a few decades since then.”
Wood nodded repeatedly. He had even guessed the identity of the grandmother. An aristocratic son ran out, became an adventurer and finally died. After all, although the world was very big, and such examples were few. Taking the age of the grandmother into account, only one or two names were left.
Of course, he wouldn’t say it, so he just asked, smiling, “So… over the years, you have been a maid in this town?”
“No! I used to work in a temple of the Royal Crown (the Goddess of Wealth). Well, I was kind of a maid. Later, when Her Majesty joined hands with the Void Mask’s Majesty, I came to the Void Mask Land. Later, Town Mayor Felix recruited professionals, and I was very curious about her words ‘to build a town that achieves people’s ideals.’ So I began to work here.”
Grandma Stinna began to smile. “I’m afraid of leaking information, so I have not gotten married. I only adopted a few children. Now they are either priests or knights of the temple. They didn’t want me to work. They said that they wanted to provide me with the most stable and comfortable life in my old age, but after they came here to take a look, they were convinced.”
Wood was respectful. This grandmother was really extraordinary!
Her children were either priests or knights of the temple—how excellent this mother was!
Not to mention ordinary children, even in the aristocratic families, it was difficult to teach their children so well!
No wonder her temperament was very different from others! No wonder he always felt that he was controlled by her temperament when he was in front of her.
Thinking of this, he was shocked. He was afraid that he would show himself away carelessly. He hurriedly lied that he was dizzy. It was very common to feel dizzy when people lost too much blood. Grandma Stinna did not doubt that. She told him to have a good rest and stay in bed, and then she left.
