Wren sat on horseback, looking back from time to time, for fear that the strange monster just now would reappear.

He knew that it was no ordinary beast, and from its reddened and fiery eyes, and its poisonous claws, it was clear that the black monster was anything but simple.

However, at this time, he didn't have much energy to think about it anymore. He just wanted to get out of here with the convoy as quickly as possible and wait until it was safe to do so.

However, Wren could feel that the wound on his chest was deteriorating, and the toxins that were originally only concentrated in the wound had now begun to spread around. But there is nothing he can do about it, so he can only find a village or town as soon as possible, and then find an alchemist to heal him.

Wren had always wanted to persevere, but the speed of the toxin's spread had far exceeded his expectations, and he only felt dizzy and nauseous for a while, and soon his eyes went black and he fainted.

There was a "bang" sound, and everyone looked at it, only to see that Wren had already fallen off his horse and was lying on the ground.

The knights immediately stopped, and one of Wren's cronies hurriedly ran over to check on Wren's situation.

When the knight named Jim saw Wren's darkened face, he couldn't help but say anxiously, "The captain has been poisoned!

The "antidote" he refers to is an ordinary antidote prepared by the warrior regiment and the knights in case of accidental poisoning during the march.

In other words, this antidote can cure some very common toxins, such as poisonous snakes and spiders that are not very toxic. It can also inhibit the continued spread of toxins.

Soon, a knight brought in to understand the poison. Jim hurriedly sprinkled the antidote powder on Wren's wound. I only heard the sound of "bang", and the medicine powder instantly fused with the black blood, and a fine foam bubbled.

But I heard Stephen say: "This ordinary antidote can only temporarily slow down the expansion of toxins, and the effect is not obvious." ”

Jim said with some irritation, "What can we do? We don't have a great alchemist here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Stephen. But soon, most people shook their heads helplessly, after all, he was only an eleven-year-old child!

Stephen took a deep breath and said, "I'm willing to try!"

Captain Jim hesitated and looked at the other companions.

At this moment, Rosen spoke: "Let's not waste time, let's get out of here quickly!"

When Jim heard this, he instantly became furious, and came to Rosen's side in three big strides, pressed him to the carriage, and roared: "If it weren't for escorting you to the imperial capital, how could our team have lost two knights?

Rosen was pressed to the planks of the carriage and cried out in fear, "You can't do this, I'm a magician of the Empire!"

Jim sneered: "Hmph, a magician who died halfway before he grows, how can the empire care?"

Frightened by Jim, Rosen suddenly panicked, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Please don't kill me, don't kill me!"

At this time, Stephen urged: "It's better to save people quickly, it's really too late to be too late!"

Jim let go of Lawson, then walked back to Wren and asked Stephen, "What do we do now?"

Although it was the first time for Stephen to face such an urgent situation, he was not flustered at all.

"You take off all his armor, and I'm going to check on the spread of the toxin. ”

Soon, the knights took off all of Wren's steel armor. At this time, everyone realized that the blood vessels near Wren's wound had completely turned black, and the toxin was about to spread to his neck.

Stephen pulled a sharp knife out of his pocket and reached for Wren's chest.

"What are you going to do!" Jim asked, grabbing Stephen's hand holding the knife.

"The blood near the wound has been completely eroded by the toxin, and it must be drained as soon as possible. Otherwise, the toxin will spread throughout the body with the help of blood flow, and then there will be no help!" said Stephen unhurriedly.

Jim slowly let go, watching as Stephen sliced a knife through a piece of skin next to Wren's wound. Black blood flowed out at once, almost staining Wren's chest black.

Seeing that the black blood was almost gone, Stephen sprinkled some mysterious powder on the cut wound, and the wound began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jim didn't expect that such an eleven-year-old boy would be able to deal with everything in front of him so calmly, as if this was not the first time he had faced the current situation.

Dylan was even more dumbfounded, and Stephen was too composed to look like his peers at all.

At the same time, Dylan felt a little guilty in his heart, he couldn't become a magician in any of the five series, and he couldn't save people as calmly as Stephen, how should he grow?

If he was already a magician, wouldn't Captain Wren be injured, and wouldn't the two knights who disappeared into the woods be dead?

After a long time, Stephen finally helped Wren bandage the wound, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Okay, the toxin has been controlled for the time being." However, we still have to find a real alchemist as soon as possible, so that he can completely remove the toxins. ”

Jim exhaled, "Stephen, thank you so much. If the captain really is...", as if he felt that his assumption was unlucky, Jim did not continue.

And just like that, the convoy arrived in a slightly dilapidated town before dawn. Luckily, though, there happened to be an elderly mid-level alchemist in the town. He helped Wren treat his wounds and cleanse Wren of the remaining toxins with medicine.

"Obviously, someone has pre-treated the wound before this, I wonder who that person is?" asked Jim the old alchemist.

Jim smiled and said, "It's a little boy named Stephen, who is only eleven years old this year. It's just that he's about to go to the Imperial Capital to learn earth magic, and he will become a great magician in the future!"

When the alchemist heard that it was an eleven-year-old child, he was very surprised and excited, and wanted to take the child as an apprentice. But when he heard that the boy was about to become a magician, he could only express his pity in frustration.

After all, in the Garneman Empire, magicians, warriors, and paladins are the most respected professions. Alchemists are nothing at all in front of these three professions. Thinking about it, the boy named Stephen would not choose to stay.

Because Rennes' injury had to be further recuperated, the team decided to stay in the town for two days.

During these two days, Dylan did not let up at all, he had been studying the mysterious code left by his mother and learning a new spell. It's just that he doesn't understand the effect of the three spells he's learned so far.

The last time I saved Stephen, the spell I recited, it was also because the situation was urgent, and I subconsciously cast a magic that I didn't understand.

In response, Dylan decided to find an opportunity to test out what the three magic spells he had learned so far did.
