Chapter 4: Favor from the mercenary, the Ainstone in hand
In the eyes of the red-haired magician, Charlie is probably a demon.
Because she watched "he" repeatedly "abuse" the dying maid with spirits, and sewed the other party's belly as fine as sewing clothes with a needle and thread.
The mercenaries had already sentenced the civilian maid to the "death penalty", so the sorceress did not clash with an earl because of a dying person with a sense of justice.
Of course, she was not here to see the young aristocratic count's sadistic maid who was about to die.
Charlie didn't care about the female mage's stay, she really didn't expect that she would be so "exciting" after wearing it.
Now even surgical sutures have been done, but I don't know the results.
The young maid fainted in the middle of the process, and Charlie watched her wipe the sweat from her forehead, thinking of calling the mercenaries to carry the maid to his tent.
However, before Charlie could go to find the mercenaries, the mage girl who had been away for a while came over with Scarface from the mercenary team.
With Charlie's knowledge of the sorceress's brief encounter, she must have exaggerated what she had seen here to Scarface.
Charlie, who was unsure of Scarface's intentions for a while, decided to wait and see.
Scarface first saluted Charlie, and then went to inspect the maid's condition with a straight face.
"It's amazing, Kana, that you shouldn't just look at the appearance of vanity and make a judgment. It is precisely because you are always so frizzy and frivolous that your level of erudite person has not been able to rise for a long time. ”
He turned his head again and said to Charlie sincerely, "Searle's condition is very bad, the magic potions used for healing have all been destroyed in the battle of the spellcaster. Now we have no other way but gauze accidents. ”
"Could you please help us heal our teammates in this way?"
Charlie pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not a doctor, and there's no way to guarantee that he'll survive, just as I'm not sure if my maid will survive." ”
The ugly words must be said in front, now she is weak, and she can't fully trust the group of mercenaries found by her friends, although these people have experienced the so-called camp judgment, but Charlie has always been cautious about willfulness.
"Yes, if Searle returns to the arms of death, then it can only be his fate, and we will not anger you with the Earl."
In the end, the road behind was still escorted by these guys, Charlie nodded in agreement, and followed the mercenary leader, the man with a scarface named Lee, to a tent full of the smell of herbs.
That guy named Searle was the unlucky guy who was kicked into Charlie's tent and cut a big hole.
He is still alive because of his extraordinary vitality.
Searle is a ranger and is much stronger than the average person.
Otherwise, by this time, ordinary people would have turned into a cold corpse.
Charlie concocted the same thing, of course, and the liquor she used here was provided by the mercenaries.
She used the liquor to wash away the almost blood-soaked pieces of herbs.
The moment the liquor was poured down, the unconscious person woke up in pain, but fortunately, Scarface held it down.
"Stun him." Charlie said in a suppressed voice.
Scarface's face is also neat, and he directly slashed down with one palm, making the painful Searle's eyes roll and lie down again.
Charlie quickly cleaned the wound and entered the stitching phase.
In the tent, only the unconscious Searle and him and Scarface were there.
Scarface watched as he began to talk to himself.
"I know very little about the Arcanists."
"Arcanists seem to be only interested in learning knowledge and studying magic, oh no, they call their mages arcane, even though they rub fireballs like the usual spellcasters, i.e. mages, they just call their spells arcane."
"The Stone of Ain can only be purchased through the Greenskin Profiteers (Goblins) unless you join the Arcanist's Floating City. If you go for those damn goblins, it's going to be very expensive. ”
Charlie was excited, but on the surface he listened quietly.
"Those magical Aein Stones float above the Arcanists' heads and give them all sorts of abilities."
"As far as I know, there are three main schools of arcanists, who are distinguished by white, red, and black."
"Although I haven't seen it, I've heard from the guild's high-ranking mercenaries that the northern orcs once wanted to invade an island of abundance adjacent to it, but that island was the domain of a great Arcanist, who single-handedly slaughtered an army of 140,000 orcs."
"And ...... It is rumored that the Arcanists have discovered something new, that magical creation can make the city float in the air, and the world's most famous Arcanists now live in the floating city. ”
After chattering about this, Charlie also finished stitching.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and washed away the blood with the clean water on one side.
"Find someone to take care of him, he'll have a fever later, as long as you carry it, it's fine, isn't your spellcaster able to ice spells? Let her make some ice and cool this person when she has a fever. ”
When Charlie leaves, he finds that the maid, who had been discarded at random next to the corpse, had been carried into the tent called Serge.
The members of the mercenary squad take turns to take care of it, but Charlie doesn't have to bother.
This is a forest full of wild beasts, so you can't stay long, and as soon as the morning dawns, the team continues to set off on their way.
The two 'unlucky eggs' who were seriously injured were placed in a crude cart made from makeshift felled trees, pulled by a horse.
Of course, this made their speed not very fast, and the forest, which was expected to leave in two days, walked for an extra day and a half.
During this period, Charlie's heart was like carrying a litter of kittens, scratching her heart frantically, making her want to receive the two Al Ain Stones for the mission reward all the time.
'Bear with me, wait until you reach the territory, that is your world, you can toss as much as you want! So hard trying to persuade myself.
And so it went on for ten days.
Both the maid and the ranger mercenary named Searle miraculously survived.
Of course, this also has to do with the fact that they arrived at the first town of supplies after leaving the forest, where they bought healing potions.
And what can make the two successfully survive to the town is given by Charlie's bold 'suturing technique'.
Both Serge and the maid sincerely thanked Charlie for saving his life.
Looking at the unpretentious gratitude in the maid's eyes, Charlie secretly thought: Perhaps, the 'little tail' left by the old earl's widow has been solved in this accident.
Ha, that's shooting yourself in the foot.
If she hadn't coveted the title of Countess (the title of the old count's widow, not the current count's wife), and thus changed such a remote territory without demoting the title of nobility, then she would not have been freed from her shackles so easily.
In this Holy Platinum Empire, ungifted heirs like Charlie, who has not become a knight or a spellcaster, must undergo a 'demotion system'.
That is, the marquis descends to the earl, the earl descends to the viscount, and the viscount descends to the baron.
If you don't agree to downgrade, you can also choose to cut or swap fiefdoms.
Obviously, in order to maintain the dignity of the nobility, the Countess chose to remove the fiefdom, even though this greatly harmed the Count's own interests.
But the old earl's 'young wife' maintained her dignity in high society.
Jiang Mianmian was already in this situation when he came over, and the original owner was also upset about this incident and caused him to fall from his horse.
It doesn't help to think too much.
At the hotel, Charlie brought a map of the cowhide scroll with the viewer.
In ten days, they traveled only a third of the way.
And the money he brought out, the gold coins were not touched, but the silver coins had already cost 32.
This is the unfortunate death of the male servant and the serious injury of the female servant, so the cost of very unnecessary expenses is reduced.
Among them, the cost of the maid's healing potions accounts for the lion's share.
A total of 15 silver coins were spent, and the distressed Charlie couldn't breathe.
'You'd better not give me a second heart for this dead girl, or I'll find a trafficker to sell her!' Sell 15 credits! ’
At this rate, it would take about 20 days to reach his territory, and the map was small enough to be seen with a magnifying glass on three sides of the sea, and the ghost knows if it was a village or a small town.
Having collected the map, Charlie walked around the hotel bedroom twice.
Downstairs is the inn's tavern, and it's almost impossible to sleep at this time when it's so noisy.
To protest?
Don't be funny, it's full of adventurers with unknown camps.
In case you don't agree and meet a guy from a chaotic or evil camp, it's basically the rhythm of the dog leash.
As soon as he was free, Charlie couldn't help but tremble his hands and wanted to claim the task reward.
As an obsessive-compulsive disorder, she can ignore the golden [receivable] words that have appeared in front of her eyes for many days, and almost cured the obsessive-compulsive disorder that has plagued her for many years.
It's okay not to look at it, but I'm shocked when I see it.
I don't know why, the big golden characters of [Available] have become flickering and dimming.
When it was dark, the handwriting that appeared in front of me also flickered and changed to [Reward is beyond the range and cannot be claimed].
!!!
What the hell is this?!
Frightened Charlie, he frantically 'entered to receive the reward' with his mind when the handwriting turned into a golden [Claimable].
At this time, Charlie's nervous heartbeat was like a dense drum beat, and the 'dong dong' almost rang out.
Fortunately, the results are gratifying.
The subtitles that emerge disappear.
The left thumb again produced a burning sensation.
The shape of the black jade wrench is outlined, and then it produces an extremely dazzling golden light.
After the golden light, the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground came into the ears of Charlie, who was pierced by the light.
He tentatively opened his eyes, the strong and dazzling light was gone, fortunately he closed the curtains, otherwise at this time I am afraid that someone would rush in to check.
A pair of small velvet gift boxes were seen on the floor of the hotel room with an old wooden floor.
One deep black, one orange yellow.
'Knock, knock, knock'
The heart beats like a drum.
Charlie took a deep breath, then walked over to the two beautiful boxes, bent down to pick them up.
He opened the dark velvet gift box first.
When I lifted the lid of the box, a deep light bloomed inside, and my fingertips immediately felt a cold feeling.
It's the Ironstone!
This is the Ironstone!
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Charlie continued to open the second box.
Children make choices, she is an adult~ she wants it!
Charlie, who immediately forgot that he had planned to sell a piece, opened the second velvet gift box.
The bright orange-yellow glow is matched by the dark black glow.
This time, there is a warm touch at your fingertips!
Taking out two Al Ain Stones, Charlie happily circled around the room, like a little girl who had been waiting for a gift for a long time.
She spun around several times in a row, and finally fell into a daze and fell on the bed in the hotel.
Holding up two beautiful Ayn stones, one black and one yellow, he looked at them for a long time, so the question came......
This thing......
How to use it?!
