86 A heart in the dark
With the help of the flotation technique, Shia easily moved North outside the cave.
Outside the cave, Sia took a closer look again, and after making sure that the cave was free of any creatures or undead creatures, Thea carried Noth on his back and walked towards the cave.
The black hole in the cave was like a giant beast's narrow throat, and when the last bit of external light in front of her was gone, Xia opened her hand, and her fingertips danced a little holy light, illuminating the road ahead.
It's really strange that the ground inside is surprisingly flat and the walls on both sides of the cave look extremely smooth and neat.
Thea looked forward at the holy light at her fingertips, and the road ahead was still dark and deep, and she didn't know how deep it was. Thea stopped at a slightly larger hole and placed North on the ground.
She really can't do anything with North. How could she not be angry with North for treating her like that, but at least, she still didn't want North to die.
"It's like this every time I meet you, it's really ......" Shia grumbled as she unbuttoned North's shirt.
Unbuttoned his coat, he was wet and greasy. Xia's heart sank, North had always been hippie and smiling, but she took it for granted that his injuries were not serious. It turns out that it has reached this level.
Thea unbuttoned his shirt, dark red blood gushing out of the wool bandage that soaked through his chest. She couldn't help but gasp. Although it is known that the Forsaken have a strong tolerance for physical pain, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that someone like North is.
Is it because of this that he has to tie her up to treat him?
Thea shook her head, gathered her mind and closed her eyes, and put her hand over North's wound, feeling the faint flow of magic on the wound with her spirit.
Dark spells...... But it doesn't feel like a curse.
Xia couldn't help frowning.
If you can't analyze this magic, I'm afraid you won't be able to eradicate the damage effect of the spell, so let's try to stop the bleeding first and wait for North to wake up.
Golden light flowed slowly from Shia's hands. When the light entered North's body, North's body twitched visibly, and then he didn't react at all. If it hadn't been for the gradual cessation of the bleeding, Thea wondered if North was dead.
Thea hugged her knees and guarded North, who was still asleep beside her.
Something happened so much today, too fast, and it turned her world upside down all at once. She wasn't even ready yet, and everything was back to square one.
Xia's heart was full of thoughts, and in the dead space, emotions that had not had time to think about it before suddenly came flooding in.
Well, the identity was revealed by North. Marlan already hated her to death. Even Marlan is like this, and the rest of the population will probably react more violently.
She didn't have the face to return to the Silver Dawn, although Uncle Ferding and Commander Maxwell would definitely accept her, but what about the others?
Commander Maxwell, in particular, was struggling to win the cooperation of the Scarlet Crusade at this time...... Forget it, or when she's dead. She didn't want to trouble them anymore.
Thinking of this, Xia suddenly remembered the culprit who caused all this, and was still unconscious beside her.
"Hey...... North! Thea kicked him lightly, but North still didn't react at all, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. In the darkness, two forsaken people with no breath, no heartbeat, no body temperature were in this hidden cave, as if they were isolated from the world.
"North, you bastard! Bastard! I kindly want to save you, will you repay me like this? As she spoke, Xia only felt that the tears of grievance fell desperately, and she wiped it with her backhand, but the more she wiped it, the more she wiped: "It bothered me so much...... Do you want to leave me alone irresponsibly now? We won't let you die, we haven't settled our accounts yet! β
Thea's hand was on North's wound again. The Holy Light flowed, and flowed into North's body in a steady stream.
"You've hurt me so much, don't hurt me again this time and lose my qualifications as a priest, right?" Xia muttered, but her voice grew weaker.
Her mental strength finally couldn't support it anymore. She was really overloaded with spells today, and her mental power was already overdrawn. Boundless tiredness enveloped her body and mind, and Thea collapsed.
When I woke up again, I don't know how many days had passed. In the dream and when she woke up again, it was dark, and Xia couldn't tell if she was dreaming or not.
"Are you awake?"
The abrupt voice startled her. Thea looked up, and in the darkness, a pair of blue eyes looked at her faintly.
Sia turned her head a little uncomfortably: "How are you?" β
There was always a smile on North's lips: "Hmm! Much better, thanks to you, Thea. β
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. North's attitude really made Xia's stomach angry, and he wanted to suffocate himself to death. She stood up and straightened the folds in her lower skirt. "Then let's go. I didn't heal your wounds, I just made it stop getting worse, and you better go back to the Undercity. β
"Okay......" North replied gently, "as long as you don't get angry, it's fine." β
"You!" Thea was angry. "Please don't be like this, aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand you like this?"
"Misunderstanding? What is the misunderstanding? North asked with a smile, and he seemed to regain his usual agility and suddenly pressed in front of Thea.
Xia couldn't help but staggered back a few steps and leaned against the cave wall.
She took a few steps back, and North followed. As Thea's back rested against the cold cave wall, North's hand pressed against the stone wall next to her face.
North's turquoise eyes were full of tenderness, and his face was almost on Thea's face, and the tip of his nose had rubbed against the tip of Thea's nose. Two people face each other in such a ** posture.
"I like you, is that a misunderstanding?" North's low, soft voice was as intoxicating as a pool of spring water.
Thea pursed her lips and turned her face away without saying a word.
"Hey...... It really makes me sad, Xia, don't you believe me at all? North chuckled and reached for her face.
"I ...... Don't believe it. Thea slapped his hand away and laughed angrily. I'm not naΓ―ve enough to think that I have any charm to attract the golden bachelor of the Undercity, General Nathanos. Trouble Nathanos, don't play such a nasty joke with me! β
"Oh? That...... What about Simon? North put away his smile and asked earnestly. Why do you think he loves you? β
Thea stammered. "Please, don't talk nonsense! Simon is not like you, what do you like when you open and close your mouth, the most important thing...... Something like that, he didn't say anything, okay? Please don't think of others as you do! β
Enraged, Thea pushed North away and walked away on her own.
"Didn't say that...... "North muttered to himself, touching his chin, and a smile crept up his face again. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is very special to you, very special...... Hey, Thea, wait for me! β
With excellent eyesight, North barely saw Thea's figure and chased after him.
