Chapter 14: Starfire

"Click———

The scimitar was sheathed, and the flies that were buzzing in their ears just now had turned in half and landed outside the watchtower.

In the silence of the early summer night, the owner of the scimitar clapped his hands and turned over and sat down on the guardrail. To the south, the sparsely lit city of Dre at night is sleeping under the protection of the guards, and to the north, in the misty darkness, the wildness of nature is rushing through the mountains.

"What a surprise......"

Although the female orc who beat half of the street guards during the day did not meet directly, judging from the residual smell at the crime scene and the information integrated by the street guards' verbal descriptions, it is very likely that the tooth wolf clansmen are toothed.

Looking at his tail on the right side of his thigh, the guard sentry shook his head and sighed silently.

It's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've seen a Tooth Wolf Clan......

"Wishing the stars, it's a shift change. ”

The voice of her companion came from under the watchtower, and the half-wolf girl named Wishstar reached out and held down her saber, moving her feet that had been hanging in mid-air to the guardrail.

It was already past five o'clock in the morning, and it was almost dawn.

"This is down. ”

The clouds were about to begin to disperse in the mountains——— closing her eyes, the half-wolf girl gently pushed her hand on the pillar and jumped off the guard tower more than four meters high.

In the process of falling, Wishstar felt the power of affinity, and gently spread his hands below to meet her. Like, mom back then......

"Click-"

The boots came into contact with the dirt, and they didn't even have to kneel down, just bent their knees slightly, and the power of the earth elves had already eliminated the excess falling force. Now, it's the only one who can stay with her all the time.

After taking off the tag from his neck and throwing it to the nearby goat man Ji Jun, and after saying hello to the sheep man who was walking with him, the half-wolf girl who got off work stretched her waist and took a step towards the city that was about to wake up more than a kilometer to the west.

............

"No more......"

When the last shred of strength was squeezed away, the wind laughed past her ears, and the cloudy darkness quickly amplified in front of her eyes—with a sympathetic collision of muscles and bones all over her body, she embraced the strange land in pain.

Despite the pain, death did not come. For a moment, she wished that God, who treated all things equally, could take away her broken soul.

After the pain was relieved by the magic essence that had begun to flow through her body a little, she struggled to get up, only to hear something unpleasant. Someone came over.

"If I had the chance, I would have made you jerky. ”

Muttering, the girl who was under heavy pressure both physically and mentally finally couldn't support it, and "snapped" and fell to the ground again. If it weren't for the chance encounter with that group of well-armed bandits at the end of the expedition, he would not have ended up in such a field.

In order to escape, all kinds of means of pressing the bottom of the box have been used.

Alas, I just hope that this time I met it not too roughly......

The last thing the girl heard before she was confused was a brisk hum.

Click-

"Huh, that's ......."

The sound of humming and footsteps stopped abruptly, and in the fog, the girl felt something poke twice in her back.

"Woo......"

Despite being in a trance, her body was uncomfortable and made sounds in her throat.

"Still alive?" snorted as the "corpse" lay on the side of the road in front of him, and the sentinel's heart sank, knowing that he had another choice to make, "Little girl, can you hear me?"

Despite her concern, the star didn't get too close——— wolf's instinct told her that the little girl in a bad state in front of her might actually be a dangerous being.

She had already left work, this place was not under the jurisdiction of the outpost, and it was the second half of the night, and even if she left it alone, no one could trouble her. But...... It's a fresh life.

"Good...... Hungry ......"

When the girl in front of her cried for help in a very weak voice, the star was silent for a long time. After a brief moment of thought, she untied the bag of dry food that hung from the side of her belt and handed it to the other person at a suitable distance.

"There's food here. ”

"Hungry ......"

Although the bag of dry food was handed over, the other party did not respond.

"Can't you move on your own?"

With the completion of the search for the remaining magic power in the limbs of the body, the girl who has regained some of her blood repair ability gradually became conscious. The dark clouds parted at some point, and she turned her head with difficulty, and in the moonlight, the girl saw a man-wolf soldier in armor, half-kneeling beside her.

This made her realize that she had a good chance of surviving.

"No...... Yes. ”

"What's your name?"

"My name is ...... Essa...... Master Jun. ”

May the star inherit the wolf's eyes from his father, and he has no problem seeing things in the dark. After taking a closer look and making sure that the other party did not have any weapons on him, she reached out and turned the girl named Isa in front of her over.

This Asian girl with horns on her head and a shabby off-the-shoulder dress was covered in bruises and bruises from bruises, and if it weren't for the blessing of the goddess of the earth, she would have been eaten by wandering wild dogs after lying here for so long.

"Goddess bless. Looking at the unfortunate girl named Essa, Wishstar untied the kettle from his belt and approached the other party with a certain vigilance, "You look like you're in a big trouble...... Don't worry, I'm a sergeant of the Guard in Dre City, and if you're not a fugitive or something, I won't hurt you. ”

"Hmm......"

"Can you sit up?"

"It's difficult. ”

Seeing that Isa's body was trembling slightly, Wishstar untied his robe and wrapped it around her. This can not only provide them with a certain amount of warmth, but also serve as a certain degree of restraint to ensure their own safety.

Convinced that Isa would not be able to sit up on her own, Wishstar reached out his hands to help her up, allowing her to lie reclining in her arms, "Drink some water first, don't force yourself to move." I'm a warrior, I can't heal your wounds, you have to persevere. ”

The cool water entrance, and the head, which was still a little dazed, suddenly sobered up.

Feeling the magic essence start to rush in her body with the blood again, Isa opened her mouth and shed tears before she spoke, "Woo...... Thank you...... Woo-"

Looking at the unfortunate Asian girl in front of him who was about the same age as his sister, Yuanxing stretched out his left hand and patted her lightly on the back, "It's okay, it's okay, you're safe." ”

"Whew, everyone...... Everybody......"

"Eat something first, you have to know that surviving is the most important thing. ”

"Uh......h I...... I understand ......"

Looking at the girl who burst into tears and laboriously ate the dry food she brought to her mouth, the heart of the guard sergeant was full of anger and helplessness.

In recent times, the number of attacks on travelers and foot merchants has increased dramatically, and the entire garrison of Dre City has been rebuked by the city lord. Although the City Health Department has increased its patrols to reassure the people, it is clear to those who have personally participated in the operation that this operation has had little effect.

"Whew...... Let's go, I'll take you to the city to find a doctor. ”

"Thank you...... Miss Sergeant......"

Picking up Issa, who was struggling to move, the star walked as gently as she could, towards the city—the girl in her arms fell asleep as her nerves had been tense for a long time.

"I really hope that there will be fewer such unfortunate things. ”

Wishstar knew that she had saved another life, but she didn't know that on this day, a seed of disaster was brought into the city by her.
