Chapter 39 The old man
Although a big reason is because of the cake.

"Yes, your Aunt Lingling's cake is always the most delicious."

Uta sighed helplessly, saw Olvia's surprised eyes, and explained to her.

"Boss Shiji took him to see Charlotte Lingling when he was a child, so he never forgot Cai Cai."

And it’s for a ridiculous reason, but Uta won’t tell Olvia about this because she feels embarrassed.

"..."

Olvia didn't know what to say. She didn't expect Link to have such a relationship, and she didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky to meet them.

It was getting late, and I met no one on the road. As I walked along the road, I saw a village not long after.

Pedestrians are in a hurry, and when they see Link and others, they will look at them twice, and then speed up and leave with some vigilance.

"Except for medical skills, everything else in the Drum Kingdom is average. There is no other prosperous place on this island except the king's castle."

The island is not very large, it is just a kingdom composed of many villages.

"So what's your decision? Eat first or find a ship's doctor first?"

Olvia asked, looking at the restaurant not far away.

"Eat, eat! I want to eat cake!!"

Pulling Uta along, Link walked towards the restaurant. When he just mentioned the cake, he already wanted to eat it.

Uta put his backhand around Link's arm and said helplessly: "Slow down, the restaurant won't run away."

Under Uta's words, Link slowed down, and Olvia behind him covered her mouth and chuckled, then followed.

"Boss, I want to eat cake!"

Pushing open the door and entering, Link said loudly.

The visiting boss was already wiping the tables and chairs and getting ready to close the shop, but he didn’t expect that there would still be business coming to the door.

Looking at Link, he felt a little embarrassed after hearing his order: "Sir, we don't sell cakes here."

Come to think of it, how could an ordinary small restaurant have cakes?

Uta pushed Link to find a seat and sat down. He smiled apologetically at the boss and said, "You don't have to listen to him. Just put some of our store's signs on it."

"That's right. Please wait a moment, you three. The food will be here soon."

The boss nodded and went into the kitchen to get busy.

It seems that the owner wears many hats, both as a chef and as a waiter.

"How can there be cake in the hotel? I'll make it for you when I get back."

Uta ruffled Link's hair and said softly.

"Um... that's fine."

Almost without thinking, Link agreed instantly. He would have it sooner or later anyway, so he was not in a hurry now.

It didn't take long for the food to be served, and the three of them started eating.

"Are the three of you from overseas?"

The boss at the counter was cleaning glasses and asked Link and the others.

"Well, I plan to come here to find a doctor."

Hearing this, the boss couldn't help but pause and gave a wry smile.

"Oh, doctor..." After sighing, he continued to wipe the cup in his hand unhurriedly, even though the cup had been wiped clean and translucent by him.

Olvia heard the boss's strange mood, put down her chopsticks, and asked softly: "Is there any problem?"

The boss waved his hand and said with a smile: "No problem, as long as you bring enough money, almost any disease can be treated here."

The boss didn't think they were pirates, he just thought they were here for medical treatment, and reminded them that medical expenses here are expensive.

"I heard that this is a big medical country, so you should know some medical skills, right? Are you a doctor?"

Link suddenly interrupted and asked. He just thought the food was good. If the boss was a doctor, he could be both a doctor and a chef.

But this question is like when you meet a Xihai person and ask him if he is a gangster.

Normally, he would just laugh it off, but the boss suddenly became nervous, waved his hands quickly, and said at the same time: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

The quick rejection was like a scourge as a doctor.

Uta and Olvia looked at each other and both realized something was wrong. Only Link was a little disappointed after hearing the boss's denial and continued to eat.

"Is there anything wrong with the doctor on this island?"

Olvia asked again, but the boss answered very cautiously this time and said cautiously: "There is no problem. The doctors in the Drum Kingdom are the best doctors in the world. They can cure any disease."

At the same time, he looked at them carefully. Except for Olvia who was wearing a hood, there was nothing unusual about Uta and Link.

Olvia stood up, and the boss immediately stepped back nervously, pressed against the wall behind the counter, and looked at Olvia warily.

But Olvia did not go to the boss immediately. Instead, she walked to the door and looked outside, then closed the door tightly, and then walked towards the boss.

"Dulin, it's me, Olvia, can you tell me what has happened in these years?"

Olvia took off her hood after getting closer. Although her face was burned by the flames, her green eyes and long snow-white hair were unmistakable.

Looking at those familiar eyes, Du Lin's nervousness immediately dissipated. He reluctantly looked into those green eyes and chuckled, "So it's you."

More than 20 years ago, Olvia came to the Kingdom of the Magnetic Drum with an archaeological team and met Dulin while having dinner here.

At that time, Du Lin was the owner of this hotel. His wife died young and he was running the hotel alone with his children.

Dulin, who had long lost his wife, was shocked when he saw Olvia.

Growing up in a small place, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

He courted Olvia no matter what, which made everyone in the archaeological team laugh. However, Dulin was not discouraged until he was rejected by Olvia, or formally rejected.

Olvia told Dulin in a vague way many times, and it wasn't until she made it clear that Dulin gave up completely.

She bluntly told Du Lin that she had a daughter, and that she had no thoughts of remarrying and would never do so in the future.

Dulin's stalking didn't work, and Olvia left with the archaeological team not long after.

Unexpectedly, he would meet Olvia again after so many years.

After looking at Olvia's face, Du Lin was speechless for a long time, and then slowly said after a while: "Well, as long as you want to know, I will tell you everything here."

Although, he didn't think it was of any use.

Previously, I thought that Link and the others were the king's people, so they were extra cautious to avoid getting into trouble.

But since it was Olvia, Dulin was no longer afraid, but this was not the place to talk, so after Link finished eating, Dulin led them back to his home.

After arranging the three people to sit down, Du Lin served them one cup of tea and sighed: "Three years, if you had come three years earlier, the medical expenses would have been reduced by more than half. Now you have to spend more to see a doctor."
