25. Indemnification
When the doctor woke up, it was already noon the next day, and he looked left and right, but he didn't see Rohr or Tank, only a young priest waiting by his side.
When the priest saw him awake, he asked with concern:
"How are you, Bishop?"
"Call me a doctor."
The doctor is in the mood to correct other people's names again, and it seems that the state is okay.
"How's it going out there?"
He asked again.
The priest quickly gave him a brief description of the situation, and gave him a preliminary estimate of the number of casualties.
"800 people? Lucky...... Thankfully......"
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief.
The priest went on to ask:
"Master Anheim's disciple has been waiting outside for a long time, do you want to see him?"
The doctor nodded.
A moment later, a burly young man walked in, first stroked his chest, greeted him politely, and then got down to business:
"Teacher, when he was cleaning the battlefield, he was injured by the remnants of monsters, but fortunately there is no major problem, but he needs to recuperate, and he can't come here in person, I hope you will forgive me."
"When I recover, I'll visit the master."
After the doctor said, he asked with some doubts:
"With the level of a master, why would he suddenly get injured?"
The disciple looked ashamed and replied in a low voice:
"The age of the teacher...... You know, he's not in good shape, and the monster is stronger than expected. ”
The doctor seems to have thought of something:
"Son of an evil god with a danger of 9?"
Anheim is a well-known powerhouse, and if he only faces a dangerous 8 person, no matter how old he is, he will not be injured and unable to get out of bed.
What's more, it's just a lump of pieces.
The disciple shook his head vigorously and hurriedly said:
"The teacher specifically told me that according to the latest Decree No. 16, I should not inquire and discuss this matter."
It took a little time for the doctor to remember what Decree 16 was.
It was about two days ago, and a confidential decree signed by the Imperial House and the Scholars Council was quickly airborne onto his desk by urgent telegram.
The content in it was very outrageous, inexplicable, like a mental retard, and the doctor couldn't help but burst into foul language after reading it, scolding the group of tax thieves.
According to the strange rule above, he could not mention the concept of the heir of the evil god, not even these four words.
Although ordinary people don't know much about this, the heir of the evil god is already a widely spread concept in the circle of transcendents, and now they are making a posture of forcibly banning it?
How can this be done?
"Your Excellency, you should have been there, right? Teacher, he would love to know the specific situation of the battle, especially about the mysterious powerhouse. ”
The disciple's words brought back the doctor's thoughts.
A mysterious powerhouse?
He was severely mentally polluted at the time, and his consciousness and vision were blurred, but he still vaguely remembered the powerful coercion.
The temporary loss of concentration caused by that coercion helped him relieve his mental pollution a little, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on for so long.
Is it the country man, the one who exterminated that horrible monster? He hid his strength in front of me and lied that he was only fourth-order?
But why did he hide it and behave so low-key and humble?
The doctor was a little puzzled, but immediately thought of another possibility.
Is it the price of fulfilling the holy relics, and it has to be like this?
Yes, this is the only plausible explanation, and this is not uncommon, and it is not an isolated case.
Having figured out the joint, he opened his mouth and replied:
"I'm sorry, but I was in a terrible condition, and I was almost completely hallucinating and couldn't describe what it was like."
He can't stand in the way of others fulfilling their costs.
A flash of disappointment flashed on the disciple's face, but he could understand it, and after a few casual greetings, he prepared to go back to his life.
But just before he left, the doctor suddenly said behind him:
"I was ...... I saw a light. ”
"Light?"
"Yes, the light that cuts the heavens and the earth."
The disciple's face was full of astonishment and surprise......
When he had gone away, the doctor called the former priest and gave him some explanations.
At the same time, he also said to himself in his heart:
You've saved tens of thousands of lives across the town, but you can't accept applause and worship......
I can't stop you from fulfilling the price, but I can only compensate you as little as I can, as a sign of respect!
------------
Rohr and the tank worked all night, doing their best to save hundreds of lives.
But there are still many people who cannot be saved......
Rohr was sad for a long time, and slept in the tavern all day before he recovered.
He secretly swore that he would never leave his sword again, even if he took a shower and went to the toilet.
Early the next morning, he packed his luggage, picked up the little donkey, and prepared to board the train.
Tank came with his daughter to see him off.
"Is it really two more days? You are the hero who saved the town, and the mayor of the town will definitely award you medals and erect statues. ”
Rohr smiled and shook his head.
"I don't care about that, I just want to see my daughter soon."
Just a monster can cause such a tragedy when it appears in a densely populated area, so what is the grim situation of Newlin, which is currently frequently harassed by monsters?
He was worried about Klee and had to get there as soon as possible.
At this moment, a priest from the Good Life Church came over and interjected into a conversation between the two.
"Sorry to interrupt, Bishop Wesley asked me to leave this to you."
He handed Rohr a badge with a smiling face and a booklet with a black cover.
As he handed over the things, a flash of pain flashed across his face, and it was clear that these two things were worth a lot.
But soon it was back to normal, and he said:
"With this badge, you can enjoy free medical care and room and board at any of the Good Life churches, and you don't have to wait in line."
"And this booklet is a wonderful quasi-holy object, with detailed instructions for its use."
"Your Excellency, I would like to express my respect and gratitude to you."
Quasi-holy relics? Also known as a secondary relic, the legendary pinnacle of human technology and craftsmanship, a man-made masterpiece with slightly weaker power than a relic, but without the cost and side effects, each of which is priceless......
Rohr couldn't help but recall the bull that the fat man had bragged about him.
That guy boasted that he had a ...... before he went bankrupt and fell
Then the whole village burst out laughing.
Rohr was not hypocritical, and accepted it generously.
"Thank you, doctor, for me."
The priest nodded, and then turned to the tank:
"Your Excellency Bishop invites you to breakfast."
Tank couldn't help but smile excitedly.
With the invitation of a bishop, he has seized the opportunity to change the class of society.
But he didn't rush to leave, but put Rohr in the car first, and helped carry the little donkey into the back half of the cargo car.
"I'll make your story into an opera, make sure you come to see it!"
The tank kept waving his big hand on the platform, and the daughter next to him also waved his little hand.
