Chapter 11: Like an Avalanche (2)
There were too many injured people, and there were traces of blood flowing all over the ground, so I wanted to use the elemental clusters to treat them one by one, but now it seems that it is more convenient to directly crush the elemental core and use magic power to urge the elemental fragments.
I try to condense the purest elemental nuclei to maximize the effect of the healing, but ...... The ribbon is just turquoise green.
- Today, I am not at the level of Master Heber, who can easily condense the dark green elemental core.
The man who summoned the mercenary group saw that I was helping these seriously injured people, and began to shout at me, and I glanced at him sideways, and saw that he had already helped the broken traffic station to rise, except for a broken forehead and a small amount of blood, there were no major wounds, so I judged that he only had some skin wounds, and there was no need to treat him immediately.
After all...... There were more people than he needed to be treated who were screaming and moaning in pain. I withdrew my gaze from looking at him, replaced it with another seriously injured person, and did not go to him for a while.
"You unknown fellowβ"
I heard a roar in my ears, and then, suddenly, something heavy pressed on my back, and the elemental core that was condensing in my palm suddenly dispersed, which annoyed me a little.
There was a black head on my shoulder, and when I looked sideways, it was the man with the bleeding forehead just now.
He seemed to be running over with a sigh of relief, trying to fix me. On the way, I tripped over something and fell on top of me.
β¦β¦ What is this called?
Looking at his clenched fists and bruised head, I don't know whether to thank myself for my luck or lament my misfortune.
Forget it, he came by himself, and I'll treat the wound on his forehead by the way, and I'll have to treat it sooner or later anyway.
With that in mind, I gathered the elemental clusters in the palm of my hand, and then approached the place where his forehead had been cracked. The pale green elemental mass covered his bleeding wounds, as if by the way, it also blocked his mouth that had been noisy.
ββ β
It didn't take long for the sound of well-trained footsteps on the avenue that stretched from the city to here.
Soon, three healers walked up quickly, followed by a group of uniformed mercenaries. I glanced at it, but the dress looked familiar.
"βThe Earl of Chelsea!"
The two mercenaries shouted as they ran in my direction, then carefully picked up the man who was leaning against me.
I also took advantage of the momentum to stand up, pinched the spinning elemental mass in my hand, and turned to walk in the direction of the city.
- Now that the mercenary group has come, there are naturally people here to deal with the aftermath and deal with it, plus the man who is obviously in a high position although he travels by transportation car...... I seem to see a steady stream of trouble coming my way.
In addition, my mage's robe is also stained with some blood, and now that I don't have the robe that Master Heber provided for free, it would be better to go back and clean up sooner.
You know, this robe is a symbol of the glory of the mage, grace.
ββ β
After walking a few steps, I heard a voice behind meβ"Bena, take that home quickly...... The mage, please come over. β
β¦β¦ You really shouldn't be nosy.
I quickened my pace, but in vain. In the next second, I had a thick palm on my shoulder.
"This mage ......" The voice in my ears was somewhat familiar, and I turned my head, and the person in front of me ...... It turned out to be a warblade mercenary who had only been separated not long ago, Bena.
"Kolo?!" Seeing that it was me, Bennet's originally calm expression seemed to distort a little, revealing a hint of surprise that resembled surprise.
ββ¦β¦ Meet again. I didn't know what to say, so I could just say hello to him calmly.
"......" Bednar glanced at me, "Please." β
I sighed and turned to walk towards where the Chelsea Earl was standing.
Bednar followed me silently, but I felt very depressed for a short journey, which ...... It should be a lesson - when you start to deal with the first problem, it means that more trouble awaits you.
ββ β
As I approached the Chelsea earl, I saw that the blood had been wiped off his face and he looked much fresher.
He bowed his head slightly at me, looking reserved and noble: "What happened just now...... I'm sorry ......."
...... "Should I say that the aristocracy is changeable?" Before these mercenaries came, he was more irritable than anyone else.
Seeing that I didn't answer, he straightened out the new clothes he had just put on, and asked Bernar, "You know each other?" β
"Yes, Chelsea, my last assignment was to escort him from Lusail City in the north to the University of Eastern 6."
"Yes......" Earl Chelsea muttered for a moment, then suddenly raised his left hand slightly, and the mercenary standing nearby handed him a roll of parchment.
"Don't mind, do you?" He held up the parchment roll at Bena.
After seeing Bednar shake his head, he reached out and handed me the parchment scroll, "This healing mage, I am really amazed by the healing spell you just cast...... Because I didn't see the mercenary group logo on you, ...... I would like to ask if you can accept the invitation to join my 'Blade' mercenary group? β
I'm a little confused, is he trying to solicit me?
"For all the tasks you receive and participate in, I can guarantee that the minimum reward will be two thousand marks."
Before I could speak, he offered extremely generous terms.
β¦β¦ There seems to be no reason to refuse, and I am indeed waiting for a mercenary group to live in.
"I don't care." Taking the parchment roll handed to me by the Earl of Chelsea, I simply branded it with healing magic.
He seemed pleased with what I was doing, pulled out a slight smile, and then pointed to the chaotic traffic and said to me and Bena, "So...... Please. β
This...... Is it considered to take effect immediately, and take office immediately?
ββ β
I glanced at Bednar, and he grinned at me, "Finish the mission first, and I'll give you a good explanation of the rules of the blade." I nodded and followed him to the bus. Most of the wounded here have been properly treated, and mercenaries are dragging the bodies of the victims out of transport vehicles.
"Damn...... Ellerna Kid...... It's insane...... He did it on purpose! It was deliberately controlled that the traffic car crashed into it! β
The old woman's babbling and complaining voice seemed to be very familiar with the man driving the traffic car.
I looked at the driver's position, which had been knocked and twisted, and the mercenary unloaded the front of the car and dragged the driver out of it. It was a young man with a light brown head, and he was dead. Because of the closeness, I could see his face clearly.
That's a ...... Because it is very thin, it looks unhealthy, but its eyebrows and eyes are extremely delicate - not the masculine handsomeness of men, but more feminine and feminine.
He was dressed in an earthy yellow mage robe, which was already stained with blood. When the mercenary was moving, he accidentally scratched the traffic car, and a sleeve of his right hand was torn off.
On the bare arms are tattoos of some shapes, and staggered and hideous scars.
The scars looked shocking, as if they had healed and then been cut repeatedly.
"The situation here has been dealt with almost completely, you follow them back to the city first, and I will investigate the cause of the accident." Bednar looked left and right,
He turned his head to me and said, "That's right, that...... In the evening, at the Tavern Eudulla, I invite you to have a drink. β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
ββ β
Soon, the mercenary group who came to the scene of the accident split into two teams, one team followed Bednar to another place, and I followed the other team and followed the Earl of Chelsea towards the city.
On the way back, the mercenaries showed a very strong curiosity about me.
From the last name to the past, they asked them all.
Fortunately, for the sake of the more than 2,000 marks, Darcy not only gave me proof of identity, but also fabricated a false experience for "Kolo", a person who did not have zΓ i, and now he used it to deal with them.
What makes me weird, though, is that these mercenaries only ask for my last name......
Yes, last name. It's not a name.
I even noticed that these people who seemed familiar and could talk to each other were only called by their last names.
I don't understand, is this a mercenary tradition?
ββ β
When it was getting dark, I arrived at the Tavern of Eudulla. It's a clean and low-key place that offers a grenache that is mellow and fragrant without getting drunk.
The melodious sound of bagpipes was heard in the tavern, and I saw a girl in a crimson dress dancing, with a sweet smile on her young face.
Bednar sat in the middle of the room, where the light was not very good.
I walked slowly through the gap between the tables and chairs.
