Chapter Twenty-Seven: Team Quinn
The Silent Night Forest is an endless sea of forests, as calm as night. Today, however, it has become a bloody battlefield, where countless blood and lives have been buried. In a small col far from the outer edge of the forest, several elves were sitting and resting with their heads down, their faces full of humiliation and reluctance to defeat.
They were all high-ranking magistrates in Sodima City, elite people who had carried out many arrest missions, and they had come to this forest today just to arrest a wandering prisoner. There were almost fourth-order hedron warriors or summoners in their team, and this operation was even supported by summoners sent by the summoning academy.
What started as a round-up turned out to be a disaster, and the sheriffs fell into the trap of the demons.
In Sodimar, the border town of the Elven Kingdom, there has not been a large-scale demonic attack in more than a hundred years. The only case that has anything to do with the devil is that an elf has been lured by the demon to become a spy or spy of the demon.
But this time, the demons gathered a huge team and launched a surprise attack on the sheriffs, and the powerful demons and their minions caused heavy casualties to the pursuing party. Even the team commander and the professor sent by the Summoning Academy are nowhere to be found, and their fate is unknown.
There were a total of twenty-seven people at the time of the attack, and only four people were able to retreat here for the time being, from four different squads. Among them, the oldest sheriff, Ares, was hanging his head and his arms were folded, and he had not yet fully recovered from the accident.
In the Silent Night Forest, he lost all his subordinates, and even he himself relied on a little luck to escape with his half-crippled body. The gray-haired elf with a short beard was blaming himself bitterly, and as the captain, he couldn't save even a single person.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in surprise: "Quinn has withdrawn." The surviving elves stood up one after another, and then looked at the figures that flashed at the foot of the mountain.
Sheriff Quinn walked into the elves with a badly wounded subordinate in his arms, followed by a diminutive summoner.
"What's wrong with Mirto?" asked Ares. Ares is Quinn's old friend and partner who joined the city sheriff's team in the same year, and both have the same strong experience. At a glance, he recognized the elf with the broken leg that Quinn was carrying, and it was Quinn's lieutenant Mirto.
"We encountered a giant scorpion just now, and Hale couldn't get out. Quinn's voice was tired, and the run had almost exhausted his strength.
But all of a sudden everyone was silent. They had all encountered the terrifying giant scorpion, the terrifying killing machine, that destroyed their squad. The men who had managed to escape from under the scorpion's tail could barely believe their eyes, and Quinn's team had lost only one man, and he had escaped from the forest with a wounded man.
Quinn looked at these colleagues in confusion, and then asked loudly, "What are you doing standing, who still has medicine?"
One of the figures reacted and quickly spread his cloak on the ground, and Quinn immediately put Milto, who had fallen into a coma, on the ground. As the only summoner here, Adelia fell to her knees next to Mirto and began to heal.
Quinn looked at Adella anxiously, not even aware that her old acquaintance had crowded closer.
Ares poked Quinn in the shoulder and asked, puzzled, "Old man, how did you escape from that madman and his monster?" ”
Ares was confident that he was no worse than Quinn, but when he encountered the giant scorpion just now, he could only watch his men fall under the giant claws of the giant scorpion one by one. Quinn is the opposite of him, why is that?
Seeing his old friend's expression, Quinn Nunu mouthed and motioned for his old friend to look at the other side.
"Don't look at me, we can come out with her. ”
Ares followed Quinn's direction and walked over to the elven girl who was healing Mirto's wounds. She had rare green pupils, and wore a robe embroidered with only three patterned edges, and her original light-colored robe was almost contaminated with blood and stains to the point where it was impossible to see the undertone.
"Third-Order Summoner, or is it this?" Ares shouted in surprise, then pointed to his eyes. He had realized that Adelia was a rare half-blood elf.
"Be respectful, Ares, or I'll turn against you even if it's you!"
When Quinn heard Ares's words, his face immediately changed. Ever since he and the little girl defeated the demon and avoided the giant scorpion. Quinn's treatment of Adelia is no longer with ordinary respect.
Quinn was already aware of the plight of the other squads. Originally, his fate was no different from that of these miserable comrades, but Quinn was lucky enough to meet this brave and strong little summoner, and her mysterious summoned beast.
She changed the fate of the squad.
Ares looked at his old friend's serious expression and stopped his mouth in amusement. Although he still didn't understand why Quinn would defend that third-order summoner so much, he knew that this little girl must have made an indelible contribution to saving this team.
However, the arrogant warrior did not apologize, but just muttered casually, "Hmph, you are lucky." The summoner in our team, who is also a member of the summoning academy, ran away without permission as soon as he fought, and he died under the stump of a tree for some reason. ”
The two old sheriffs didn't talk anymore, just watched from afar as Adelia was treated. After a long time, Adelia finally finished the emergency treatment, wiped the sweat from her forehead, stood up, and walked in front of Quinn.
Now Mirto is temporarily out of danger, but his leg probably can't be saved, Adelia hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "He's okay for the time being, but his leg is ......"
Quinn knew what Adella meant, and he quickly patted Adella on the shoulder and interrupted her.
"I see, you can get some rest. ”
Adelia nodded tiredly, then walked to a stone in the distance, and sat down alone against the stone, her eyes half-closed.
Ares stared at Adella's figure, and finally couldn't help asking, "You said she saved you?"
"Yes, maybe you won't believe it, old man. She saved the whole team twice, or I would have died at the hands of the demon or been torn to pieces by the giant scorpion. ”
Ares froze, his gray beard shaking. A heavy voice in his heart asked, "Is this true?" can a small third-order summoner do this?
Quinn looked at his old friend's incredulous expression, and knew that he was suffering from the loss of all his men, so he didn't say anything more and walked over to Mirto's side to check on his injuries.
Silence returned to the surroundings, but the calm did not last long, and after a while, the hedron warrior who was in charge of keeping watch on the ridge suddenly raised his bow and arrow, and shouted in a low voice: "I found a strange fellow, he moves strangely, and wears a helmet with a skeletal beast head!"
Hearing this, Adelia and Quinn stood up almost at the same time, and then rushed to the hillside in unison.
"He's our man. As he ran, Quinn motioned to the sentinels not to use force.
When Ares and the other sheriffs came to their senses, they ran with them.
Of all the people rushing to the ridge, Adelia was the first to rush to the ridgeline, standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance.
In front of him is a vast sea of savanna grass.
In the wilderness, a black figure came from the direction of the dense forest in the distance, hurrying forward.
He wore the head of an evil skeletal beast, and his clothes and armor were tattered, but his steps were firm and powerful.
"Who is it?" asked Ares, who had just caught up with Quinn on the ridge, looking at the figure in the distance.
"Her summoned beast. Quinn replied.
"No, it's my partner. Adelia corrected.
"Partner?" Ares narrowed his eyes when he heard the strange word for the first time.
Just as Quinn and Adelia were looking at Given, Govern also spotted Quinn's tall body and Adelia's weak figure, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Luckily, they're all fine.
Givens hurriedly strode towards the ridge, stepping out of a heavy pit with each step, and then rushed directly in front of Adelia and Quinn in one breath.
Quinn was the first to greet him, and he had already recognized the elf in Given's hand, which was his subordinate, Sheriff Hall, who had died at the hands of the giant scorpion. He excitedly took Hall's body from Given's hand and held it in his arms.
Looking at this scene, Ares touched his beard with some envy.
Quinn, your squad is back.
Adelia followed Quinn to Given's face, her eyes swept over the large hole in the armor of Gilvin's abdomen, and her body covered in bruises, and her heart immediately tensed.
But before she could ask how Jiwen had escaped from the giant scorpion's pursuit, she heard Jiwen's anxious inquiry.
"Can you attach this leg?" Givens pulled out the object that had been clipped under his right arm and untied the fabric that covered it.
Adelia immediately realized what it was.
"Come with me. With that, she immediately turned around and hurried down the ridge, and Jivin followed suit.
At this time, the sheriffs gathered around curiously. But when they saw what Givens was holding in his hand, they immediately got out of the way and followed.
Adelia came to the place where she had rested, where Mirto was lying.
Adelia's healing spell had temporarily contained his injuries, but there was no way to completely heal his broken leg. But now everything has changed.
"Jiwen, help me clean up the clothes and armor from my broken leg!"
Adelia's expression was extremely serious, as a third-order summoner, she had to challenge the healing of severed limbs with healing.
This is not an easy spell to deal with, but if you delay even a second now, the more impossible it is for Mirto's severed limb to be rejoined. As the only summoner here, the only one who knows how to heal spells, Adelia bravely took the responsibility.
Givens removed the armor and pants from the severed leg and placed them next to Mirto's right leg, and then Adelia quickly secured the severed limb with magic vines, and then made the severed limb fit tightly with Mirto's thigh.
With all this done, Adella put her hand over the wound and began to recite the incantation.
White flashes of magic erupted from her hands, burying the wound in a blinding white light.
In this world, due to their physique, it is difficult for elves to learn elemental magic like the demon race, and they are more adept at life-based spells, especially summoning and healing using life spells. Now a steady stream of life energy is flowing through Adelia's body, pouring into Mirto's wound, causing it to heal.
The other sheriffs stood silently, nervously looking at Adella, hoping to see a miracle.
