56. Company battalion in front of the mine
Down the mine railway, near Holf's blacksmith's shop, there is a vacant lot, and the villagers have set up improvised tents using the cloth materials they have obtained from the blacksmith's shop.
Between the tents and tents, torches are erected on wooden shelves
The air inside the mine is poor, and it is also susceptible to being set on fire by enemies from the hole, creating deadly smoke.
Therefore, before the village chief's clear instructions, everyone temporarily lives outside, which is also convenient for temporary living.
Rebecca, along with the other girls in the village, carried a bucket to fetch water for their lives.
"Your Excellency Xia Zuo..." Rebecca stopped and vaguely saw a corner of the company camp, and Ola, who was carrying an oil lamp, led Xia Zuo past.
The girls around Rebecca covered their mouths and snickered, and then helped Rebecca carry the bucket very interestingly.
"We'll take care of the rest, Rebecca go take a look~"
"Yes~"
"Huh?"
Rebecca didn't know what to say, and before she could refuse, several people had already walked away, still whispering, talking and laughing.
She squirmed and hesitated for a few steps, and then followed in the direction where Xia Zuo and the others disappeared, and the position that Xia Zuo turned seemed to be the village chief's tent.
Outside the camp tent along the way, the people in the village were busy with their own work, and they only occasionally took time to Xia Zuo and nodded politely to the guests, they didn't know what Xia Zuo was doing.
As one of the few people who were looking forward to Xia Zuo's return, the village chief entrusted Ola to wait at the bottom of the hillside to answer from the time he returned.
Ola was also very relieved when he saw Xia Zuo.
On the return trip, he also met the three swordsmen Grim who were guarding the entrance of the company camp, and the other party looked solemn. It seems that he has learned from the village chief that Xia Zuo killed the goblin who broke into the village and saved Ora, whose life was hanging by a thread.
But the humiliation of defeat still lingered in his heart, and the two followers swallowed nervously.
Grim took a step back and moved out of the way, without any superfluous expressions and movements in front of Xia Zuo, indicating that his fighting spirit was still there.
But when Xia Zuo walked away, Grim quietly bowed to his back.
The two attendants smiled with satisfaction.
The trio were assigned to work shifts at night, and when it was dawn, they would remain hidden and go to the outer wall of the village to investigate the goblins' movements, wait and see, and report back to the village chief in time.
"Village Chief, Xia Zuo is back!" Aura looked a little excited, shouting as she arrived at the village chief's tent.
As soon as he lifted the cloth covering the tent, he saw that the village chief was mashing the herbs with the utensils brought by the villagers.
There was only an oil lamp source at the entrance of the tent, and after coming to the villagers' residence, they finally didn't need to turn up the brightness to see the environment clearly, so Xia Zuo restored it to fifty, otherwise there would be flashbangs around the tent.
The stone pot on the side was still boiling something, exuding a strong smell of medicine.
Next to the village chief, Holf lay on the bunk with a displeased expression.
The pain was healed, but he was somewhat anemic due to excessive blood loss, and his face was pale, and he could not exert his strength as usual and pick up his axe.
He was waiting for the village chief to boil the medicine for conditioning.
"Ah, Your Excellency Xia Zuo~" The village chief stood up overjoyed, stepped forward and bent down as if he was in the gesture, "You are finally back." ”
"Guest..."Seeing that it was Xia Zuo's return, Holf reluctantly stood up.
Aura hurriedly helped.
Horf, who stood up straight, bowed decisively to Xia Zuo, "What you did for the village, I have heard from the village chief, thank you for eliminating the tricky goblins for us, and thank you for saving Orah." ”
In fact, except for the Goblin Knights, they don't know that they killed a shaman.
Xia Zuo saw that Ora's HP was not full, and he also found that the blood volume on the top of Horf's head was not full, probably because Ola didn't use it himself, and gave Holf the primary healing potion to drink.
The two vials have a total of 40% HP, but Horf is now only 59%... I guess I heard about it when I was walking with the village chief, and Holf was caused by a battle with a goblin knight at the entrance of the village.
But Xia Zuo didn't know what the father and son were doing at the entrance of the village.
"It's a trivial matter," seeing the village chief's expression when he stood up and was about to say something, Xia Zuo took out the primary healing potion directly from his bag, and handed it to Horf and Ola bottle by bottle, a total of four bottles, "Your injuries are not completely healed, one person drinks two bottles, that's pretty much the same." ”
After collecting enough materials, Xia Zuo has synthesized a lot of early red and blue medicines, which are convenient for NPCs to use, and can also greatly save space in their bags.
Ola took the potion, also a little puzzled. Xia Zuo had obviously given himself a potion before, and now he provided it again, could he see that he hadn't drunk it?
"Ah, is it really okay to give us this precious potion again?" Although Horf wanted to recover his physical strength as soon as possible, considering that the village chief's magic had failed, the red potion that could heal people had become a very valuable thing.
"This is not particularly precious, but it is still a little valuable," he said this, but Xia Zuo felt in his heart that he wanted as much as he wanted, and he could collect forty or fifty bottles of materials when he went out for a walk after dinner, he pretended to emphasize seriously, "However, it's not for nothing, you write it down first, and I will ask you to repay it after the incident." ”
"Whew," Horff responded in a trance.
Ola was embarrassed to reply to anything, he had been saved by Xia Zuo before, and now that he had received the potion provided by others again, any words of gratitude would be pale and weak.
"Drink it, if the goblins attack, the village needs you to kill the enemy to protect it? Are you going to use injuries as an excuse to stay behind? ”
These words stimulated the dwarven father and son, and they looked solemn, uncorked the bottle in sync, and gurgled and drunk.
For the dwarven father and son, even without the request of the village chief, Xia Zuo was happy to help them, and they provided forging resources and tools before, leaving a good impression on Xia Zuo.
As for the village chief, the more Xia Zuo thought about it after the separation, the more wrong it became. The village chief is a person who can "reproduce" magic, and when he first demonstrated the function of the bag, he mistakenly thought it was space magic, and unceremoniously launched the "replica".
In addition to himself, the village chief must have also started from many people, so as to conform to his style of acting.
However, he said that he didn't have much magic in his hands, even though Xia Zuo showed that it would help defend the village... What the hell is the old guy thinking?
"Your Excellency Xia Zuo." At this time, Rebecca also lifted the curtain.
When he found Xia Zuo in the tent, he couldn't stop smiling on his face, but he couldn't keep looking directly at Xia Zuo.
"You... You have returned safely. Rebecca said as she tugged at the corner of her apron.
"Well, it took too much time to go out to collect materials..."
"I heard from Mr. Village Chief that you defeated the terrifying goblins, and you took a risk back to the village chief's house for my father's sake." Rebecca took over with a little excitement, "Thank you very much, Your Excellency has done this, I... I don't know how to say thank you. ”
"I just wanted to ask this, how is your collection of materials over there? I went to the village chief's house and found more than half of the materials on the list. ”
"I put all the things I collected in my father's tent, and you can go and help with other things first......"
During the conversation, Horf and Ola had already drunk the two bottles of potion at the same time, and the green glow and full of vitality surged around them.
"Oh~!"
Their emotions and movements were synchronized again, excited expressions, swinging arms, and moving their bodies without hindrance.
Cheering each other on, the two strong arms collided together, and the dwarven father and son felt like a mountain, as if they had slept for three days and three nights, and they were eager to go to the battlefield and kill the goblins.
"Then Rebecca, take me there now." Xia Zuo urged, "It just so happens that synthesizing many materials into a panacea for buff relief can also save me the precious backpack space I am currently precious." ”
