Chapter 105: Partners and Enemies
(Thank you for the monthly pass!)
These two are so miserable!
It was the first impression of seeing them, and then great doubts followed. That's – how the hell did these two get together?
After defeating the demons, Vivien and Lolita really see the two human warriors. One of them suffered a severe leg injury, and there were three irregular openings twenty centimeters down the crotch of his right leg, oozing blood gushing incessantly, and with an unnatural black and red color.
The other man was no better, he also had three gaps down his left shoulder, and the wounds were deeper than the former, revealing the red and white bones inside.
In addition to this, the most amazing thing is that the man with the leg wound is wearing the leather armor of a low-ranking officer of the lighthouse, while the man with the shoulder injury is wearing the standard military uniform of the San Lorenzo Empire.
"You ...... Are you alright?" Vivien swallowed her doubts, first caring about their injuries.
There were quite a few corpses of human warriors lying on the ground, all of them lighthouse warriors. But the ones who survived to the end were actually two enemies who didn't share the same sky?
The two of them didn't look like they were fine, but they both endured the pain and shook their heads with sweat on their foreheads.
"We're okay, the key is to save my baby!" the San Lorenzo soldier's voice struck with pleading.
"We suspect that the children in our village were taken as sacrifices by demon worshippers. The lighthouse soldier replied much more methodically, but with no less anxiety, "Now is not the time to care about our injuries. ”
Despite this, Vivien cast a toxin-pulling spell for them. In the process, Lolita raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You just mentioned your children, and you just mentioned the children of your village? Are you all villagers on the other side of the mountain?" asked Lolita in a tone of 'It can't be such a coincidence'.
"Yes, we all came from that village. The soldiers at the lighthouse also realized that they were not in a good state, so they suppressed their anxiety and waited for the treatment to be completed, "At that time, Elber called for soldiers, and Will responded to the call for his mother and daughter. And I, I evaded military service and chose to enter the lighthouse. I still remember the night before the draft, I had a big fight with Will, and I wanted to pull him together to fight for people's freedom and happiness, but he chose to fight for the survival of his family. ”
"That's because my family wouldn't be able to survive if I didn't do that! I have to get paid, and I have to find my missing big brother. Will was blushing with excitement as Vivien plucked the toxin, "And what did the lighthouse do? You said that Zenas was a leader of justice, justice, and mercy, but the result?"
Green, the soldier of this lighthouse was silent. After a moment, he sighed, "Yes, we were all wrong, we all failed, and we were defeated, and we were defeated inexplicably. ”
"This world is really hateful! There is no happiness in this world at all, there are mistakes and sorrows everywhere, no matter how you choose, it is wrong!" Will gritted his teeth in hatred, he was so excited that Vivien, who was being treated, had to tell him to relax lest he would die from a massive bleeding from his wounds.
"I joined the army for the sake of my family! I don't want to be involved in this damn war! His Majesty Elbert's victory or the establishment of a lighthouse is not my business! I just want my family to live. For this reason, I continued to work hard, even at the cost of my life, to charge on the battlefield, not for power, but just to be able to get a little more military salary. But what did fate give me?My brother was killed by your lighthouse!My mother was mad!My baby Lena was taken away by a foreigner with a damned flute!Maybe she was sacrificed to the altar by the bastard who deserved a thousand knives!Ahhh
Vivien's reassurance was to no avail, and Will howled like a wounded beast. The girls from Icewind Castle never imagined that men would let out pure, wild cries like irrational beasts.
“…… Wait!'re Lena's father!" Lolita pointed at him and shouted, "Oh! No wonder the old man would say, 'Didn't I tell you?' You have already been to the village and asked about it!"
She suddenly realized, and looked at Green again, "You are also from the village, and you are also from the village, and you are also bringing your soldiers to find the children?"
Green grimaced. Will, who had finally calmed down after being calmed down by Vivien, taunted in a choked voice.
"He's here to follow me, so that I can find traces of His Majesty Elbert. In the end, I had to do my best to save it!"
Green tightened his sword, bowing his head and blushing with shame.
At this time, the treatment of the two has come to an end. Vivien not only removed the toxin from them, but also tied them up with a medicated bandage. Although injuries cannot be removed as easily as the priest's magic, the mage's healing methods do not impair the life potential of the injured. In comparison, it is more mild.
Vivien exchanged information with the two of them, and when they heard that the two mages were also coming for the kidnapped children, Will and Green were excited.
"We can be the vanguard of the two mages!" Will raised three fingers and swore to the heavens, "I swear that as long as I can breathe, I won't let those evil guys hurt the two of you!"
Because he is a bachelor, Green is more rational than him, "Don't look at us as just countrymen, but our skills can be regarded as tempered on the battlefield." Even if he was not lightly injured, he could still do it by dragging the demon for a while. And we also know a little bit about the situation of that demon's lair, and in the process of escaping, we found a fairly hidden path. So, please take us with you!"
Vivien looked deep into the forest, where there was no trace of Charlotte, and she wondered if their teacher had left or was still silently protecting them. In the meantime, Lolita has already made a decision one step ahead.
"Then take you with me!" Lolita said first, "but I will say first, your injuries are not light, not to mention the next crisis, even if you take 10,000 steps back, if everything goes well, your injured arms and legs will probably be useless in the future if they don't rest!
"Since you don't even plan to take your life, do you care about being crippled?" Grimm shook his head with a wry smile.
Will looked at him with a softened gaze, and replied with the same heavy nod, "If I can't save Lena, then my life, no matter how healthy and long I live, will be as meaningless as a ghoul wandering on the battlefield." ”
"Lolita!" Vivien patted her friend on the shoulder, obviously bringing them would not be decisive, but could put the two in mortal danger, she was a little unhappy with Lolita's decision.
The energetic girl showed her cute little tiger teeth and smiled brightly.
"Vivien, if I were in this predicament, I think my stupid dad would have gone berserk. I don't have much contact with your father, but I think if it were Vivien, my uncle would be desperate to save you!"
Vivien felt that as a mage who relied on strict logic, Lolita's way of thinking was really not rational. But what do you say? Maybe it's because it's not rational enough that there's a feeling of being really human.
She, like the teacher, is unexpectedly comfortable because she is not rational enough.
