Chapter 26: The Ignorant One
This winter rain washed away the snow piled up in the forest, but it did not wash away the biting cold, and the water and snow blended and completely covered the ground in the forest with a layer of frost.
Towards night, somewhere in the mountains outside the city of Delchimo.
Someone staggered forward, the animal skin cloak on his body had been completely soaked by the cold rain, anyone knew that as long as this cloak was stained with water, and then frozen, it was no different from the stone slab on his back, his palm covered his lower abdomen, blood spilled out from between his fingers, and the wet and cold winter night was gradually depriving him of his life.
After a few dozen more steps, he finally could no longer hold on, and fell forward on the woodland covered with ice and rain, and the sting pain of his body as if he had been pricked by needles made him twitch weakly on the ground, and it took a few minutes to barely climb under a tree.
But he soon realized that this did not help his injuries in any way, but because of his crawling movements, the wound showed signs of cracking.
The scene in front of him was constantly dissipating, and the Grim Reaper seemed to have come to him with the misty blue lantern,
In the fog, after he saw the illusory figure of death, another bright yellow lamp appeared in the forest, and compared to the deep blue light, the light of this color undoubtedly aroused his desire for life.
"Help me...... Help me~"
He was trying to call for help from the men, and his luck proved to be good, the carriage seemed to be on its own way, and it wasn't long before the carriage stopped in front of him, and the tempting smell of meat rushed into his nostrils, and even his spirit, which was almost completely dissipated, was lifted.
Someone was riding a horse in the rain, and it was supposed to be a detriment to the horse or the person in the saddle to do such a thing in this weather, but the man was surrounded by a transparent energy barrier, and all the rain would slide down the shield when it approached his body, and the same was true for the carriage.
He was suddenly a little nervous, because he knew that these people might be a team of outlaws.
If it were an ordinary traveler, it was very likely that someone like him would be able to help, because they didn't think that a seriously injured person could have any bad influence on them, but the aliens were different, and they seemed to him to be a group of selfish fellows who were indifferent to the affairs of others.
How can a person who does not care about others deserve to be called a qualified person?
He thinks so.
But his situation at this time has really reached the point of desperation, if he can't get the help of these people, he may ...... No, not perhaps, he would definitely die here.
So he decided to ask them for their help.
"Are you...... What, this guy looks down on us? Then let him wait here to die. ”
However, before he could speak, Donald, who was sitting in front of the carriage, said in surprise.
Originally, he wanted to get out of the car to save people after asking for his identity, after all, it was just a gesture, and he always had a healing scroll engraved with an inscription on slow recovery, but Stephanie's emotional perception was aware that this person lying under the tree who was about to die at any time actually looked down on them in his heart.
This is really a bit ridiculous, they haven't expressed their position yet, but they have made people despise it in their hearts.
Donald immediately lost the idea of saving people, he was not the kind of person who would help others even if they looked down on them.
"Really don't you want to save him?"
Driving the carriage out of the ten meters, Anthony leaned up and asked.
"What to do to save him, that guy is so blind to the existence of what could be his savior, can you expect him to be a good person?"
Donald, who was using the power of the Rain Demon to control the rain away from them, lay on the wooden plank outside the carriage, on the wooden board of the blanket to be exact, with his right hand supporting his head, and holding a bowl of broth in his left hand and sipping slowly.
Finger was lying next to him, and there was also a plate of broth in front of him, and it was using Donald as a stove in the state of the fire element, so it naturally needed to replenish energy.
It's one thing to save someone, but if you save a bad guy, that's another thing, Donald doesn't like to make choices, so he simply gives up the choice.
"Someone is coming. ”
Before Anthony could speak, Donald suddenly spoke, and immediately closed his eyes, sensing the other party's situation with rain,
"There were about 6 people, on horseback, and it was fast, huh..... This kind of ghost weather is running around in the woods, either to save people or to kill people, do you believe it or not?"
"How?"
Anthony was curious about Donald's idea.
"Hahaha~ Because the rain told me that they all have iron weapons on them, that is to say, even if this is not a team of knights, it is also a team of warriors, you say, these people are running in the rain, what can they do except save people and kill people?"
Shaking his head and drawing his own conclusions, he took the broth in his left hand and touched the plate in front of Finger, who also knew the rules, and drank the broth in a few sips as soon as he lowered his head.
"Look, that guy doesn't know the rules as well as Finger. ”
Donald also drank the broth from his bowl in one gulp, and then looked at the rain outside by the light on the roof of the carriage, and watching the rain in the rain and watching the rain in the place where there was no rain were two different feelings.
"Here they are. ”
In the rain, Anthony's eyesight would be affected, so when he saw those people, they were already more than ten meters away.
Donald sat up and leaned against the carriage, and Lilo came out of it, the weapon still in the carriage, but the hilt of the sword was placed next to the carriage door, ready to be drawn at any time.
Most of the people in this group were dressed in velvet close-fitting leather armor, and the outer side was covered with rainproof cloaks, and their faces under the hood were blurred and invisible because of the light, and they held the reins in one hand, and in the other hand they carried a lighting device like a kerosene lamp or a gas tint, and they had things in both hands, and they were not weapons, so naturally they did not come out to fight.
In that case, it should be to save people.
"There is no killing intent. ”
Stephanie, poking her head out of the carriage, confirms Donald's suspicions, and Lilo returns to the carriage, leaving only Donald and Anthony outside.
"Did the two gentlemen see a man with short hair and a cloak of animal skins to protect him from the cold?"
The leader tightened his reins as he passed by, and asked with some urgency as the horse neighed.
"Lying under the tree over there, you must hurry up if you want to save him. ”
Donald immediately thought of the person before, but he didn't lie to these knights, but he said in his heart that the guy's luck today is really good, he missed a wave of people passing by to save his life, and someone actually came to save him.
It really shouldn't be killed.
