Chapter XXVII: The Death of Selenos
"I said, you've walked all the way with a sad face, can you look better on your face? Kordak said as he looked at Regner, who was looking at him with slanted eyebrows and crooked eyes.
"For no reason, I was dragged out by you for an extra hour, what am I doing with you giving you a good face?" Regner had a bad attitude, he jumped up and down, and the kettle full of pure stream water hanging around his neck was swaying.
"Didn't I want you to work out, and Vera agreed. Kordak gave a reasonable explanation.
"Sister Vera is trying to train me, I believe it, just you ......" Regner pouted: "Don't think I didn't see it, when you saw me when you left, your eyes were green, and the bitter and hateful look was much uglier than I am now." ”
"Hey, forget it, I won't explain it to you, the heart of a villain lives in my belly of a gentleman. Kordak tried to stop there.
"Poke it, blush, hum, you know what shit you pull without pouting your ass. Look at Brother Selenos, honest, down-to-earth and calm, how can it be the same as you?I don't know what Sister Vera likes about you......" Regner took advantage of the victory to pursue, but because he was excited, he slipped his mouth.
"Hah?!" Although Ragner didn't finish speaking, Cordak also guessed the whole sentence, and he came to his senses, put one hand around Regner's shoulder and said affectionately: "So Vera has a crush on me?"
"I didn't say anything!" Regner hurriedly explained, he would rather go to the Red Blood Bear alone and not have the courage to face Vera's anger.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Lei didn't say anything. I don't know anything. Kordak hurriedly cooperated. Then he said proudly: "Hmph, I'll just say, how can this kid Celenos compare to the handsome and dashing Yushu Linfeng and the bohemian and uninhibited Kordak with a sighing stubble?"
"Today I finally see what it means to be stinky......" Regner sighed as he looked at Kordak's bear-like body, fat lips, broad nose bridge and small slitted eyes, and then compared the angular and heroic face of Selenos.
"Besides, Big Brother Selenos has never earned money with you, so what are you proud of here?" Regna didn't forget to fight for Selenos.
Kordak was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed as Regner said, although Selenos was very good to Vera, but he never admitted anything in person, perhaps because he had a preconceived idea.
In fact, Selenos is a silent and careful man, he is actually very good to everyone, is it not good for Regner? is it not good for himself? It's just that sometimes his carefulness is subconsciously regarded as a threat by himself, so he has such a judgment.
"How's it going, speechless?" Regner was about to say something more, but Kordak suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.
"Don't make a sound, do you smell something?" Kordak said with a solemn expression, his voice low.
Regner sniffled slightly, and a faint smell was immediately recognized by him, a smell he was somewhat familiar with, and he had smelled it in the past two days in his memory.
He thought quickly in his mind, not the smell of bread and roasted meat, not the faint scent of Vera's body, not the sweet smell of honey he had eaten before, but a disgusting and disgusting taste. Yes, when the carotid artery of the red blood bear was cut, that smell used to hit his nose and almost made him vomit because it was the smell of blood!
"Boss, Boss......" Regner's face turned pale instantly, because they were only a little more than a hundred meters away from Vera's camp now, and if the smell of blood had nothing to do with Vera, the fool wouldn't believe it.
"Don't worry, don't worry, let's figure out the situation first, let's hide and go slowly. Kordak's face was also ugly, and he forcibly resisted the urge to rush back to the camp at once to see what was going on, and gave Regner the most reasonable order.
The two of them moved gently between the trunks of the trees, and the moonlight could not penetrate their figures under the cover of the shade of the trees. The fire in the camp was getting closer and closer, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, and Regner's heart gradually became cold at the realization of this.
Despite the infinite hope that the camp would be safe, Vera would frown and complain about their friction when the two returned, while Selenos watched them smile silently.
But the strong smell of blood had already told Regner that it could all be a fantasy, and he had prepared for the worst in his heart, but even so, when he saw the hellish scene in the camp, his eyes were black and he almost fainted.
There was no movement in the camp, the campfire had been completely kicked apart, and one or two scattered pieces of firewood were still struggling to emit fire. There was a corpse that had been ignited by a spark and was slowly burning, giving off the aroma of roasted meat, but Regner's smell of it now did not satisfy any appetite at all, as the heavy smell of blood almost obscured everything in the place.
In addition to one burning corpse, there were three or four corpses around the camp, they were not human, those corpses were taller and stronger than humans, and their yellow-green skin was covered with thick hair, and Regner recognized them without much thought, they were several orc corpses.
"Selenos!" Kordaq could no longer restrain his urge to rush out of the shadows, as he saw Selenos, who was also lying on the ground.
Regner rushed after him, and when he saw Selenos, his head began to dizzy with a "buzz".
Selenos's stomach had been cut open by the orc's rough stone axe, and his intestines slowly flowed to the grass, looking bloody and hideous. But in addition to the wound on his stomach, he received a strong blunt blow to his left chest, and a large amount of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs stained the ground red, and it seems that the sternum has been completely shattered.
"Regner! Where's the healing potion, quick! give me the healing potion!" Kordak almost snarled.
Ragnar immediately hurriedly took out a bottle of healing potion from his backpack and handed it to Kordak, then he took out another bottle of healing potion and shivered, poured out a small amount mixed with the stimulant, and rubbed it on Selenos's temple.
Selenos woke up slowly, his eyes glazed with consciousness, and it was clear that he was on the verge of dying.
Cordak had blood on his hands, and a bottle of healing potion poured into Selenos's mouth for no money.
Selenos' eyes gradually brightened after drinking a bottle of healing potion, and by this time Kordaq had already snatched the healing potion from Regner's hand and was ready to continue pouring it into Selenos.
"No need to wave...... It's gone, Kordak. Selenus shook his head lightly and said weakly, "My ...... The heart has been ...... by the orcs of stone hammers shattered. ”
"Don't speak, my brother, you won't die. Kordaq stroked Selenos's face with his blood-stained and dirt-stained hand, and his handsome face suddenly turned into a flower face.
Selenos's lips squirmed but he didn't make any sound, but suddenly he became agitated, and he used his last strength to say: "Go and save Vera, she was taken away by a dozen orcs, in the east, get her out!"
"Vera isn't dead, where is she, what the hell is going on here?" Cordak asked a barrage of questions.
But at this time Selenus seemed to have exhausted the last of his life force, and he said intermittently in a weak voice: "We...... The orcs attacked...... Wei ...... Bring...... East...... Save her...... Good ......"
Selenus muttered the last sentence, and then stopped moving.
Kordak felt that his vitality was rapidly fading, but he was desperate to find that he could not do anything about it, the injuries in this situation could no longer be treated, only the legendary priest's ability to resurrect the dead could save Selenos, but now it is still unknown whether there is a legendary priest in the entire eastern continent, and meeting a legendary priest in this wilderness is probably more miraculous than directly curing Selenos with a bottle of healing potion.
So he just hugged his comrades-in-arms, his brothers, and his saviors tightly, and a tear slowly flowed out of the eyes of this hearty and strong man.
Regner was already in tears at this moment, he and Selenos were the least familiar with this mercenary team, but that was only the reason for Selenos's withdrawn personality.
This attentive and silent man doesn't take care of him less than Vera and Kordak on weekdays, he still remembers who worked tirelessly to change his dressing for him when he was injured by the Swift Shadow Dragon for the first time, he still clearly remembers who was quietly watching the patient guidance when he was training with Vera before the trip, and he also clearly remembers who jumped from the tree desperately when Kordak was knocked away by the Red Blood Bear and fought to the death with the Red Blood Bear.
Selenos is a very quiet person, so quiet that people often forget that he exists, but he plays an important role in your life while being quiet, and it is not until you really lose him that you realize that there are so many things in your life that are related to him.
Some people are like a teacup handle, no one will pay attention to it on weekdays, until one day the handle is broken, you have to hold the hot cup directly with your hand, and you realize the importance of the handle when your hand is burned red by the teacup.
So Regner cried, he cried very sadly, because there will never be anyone to guide him patiently in the future, no one will carry his luggage for him when he is tired, and no one will be so patient to heal him and change his dressing.
"May the brightest stars in the night sky guide your soul back to the land of bliss...... My brother ......" Kordak gently closed Selenos' eyes, and he forced himself to pull himself together from his grief, because he still had something to do, and Vera was still waiting for him to save him!
Kordak slowly stood up, he sorted out his equipment, picked up Selenos's bow and arrows, and after making sure everything was ready, he turned to Regner and said, "Don't cry little Ray, we're going to save Vera now." ”
Regner cried even harder, and he said as he cried, "Boss...... I...... I...... I didn't dare to go...... Wow......"
