Chapter Seventy-Two: The Professor's Request (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Commuter Passes!) )
"Squeaky ......"
The sound that kept coming into the unconscious Tydamir's brain made him slowly wake up, but soon, the hot pain of the bridge of his nose with every breath made the tear ducts secrete tears uncontrollably.
Damn, as a brave and tough barbarian warrior, a titled warrior with the surname of Bear Slayer, how can you hold back tears!!
Barely opening his swollen eyes, the scenery around him was constantly receding, the morning sunlight in the sky was a little dazzling, and he subconsciously moved, but Tedamir was shocked to find that his limbs and even his whole body were fixed by ropes
After a reluctant side look, I realized that I was on a flatbed truck that was constantly moving, and several worn-out and somewhat deformed wooden wheels were rolling, and the sound that made me go crazy was constantly coming out
These few movements consumed a little physical strength that Tedamir had managed to accumulate, and he looked at the sky a little blankly, and his mind slowly returned to last night......
"He's alive, my lord!"
The surrounding fire and noise made the unconscious Tedamir slowly regain consciousness, and before he could think about why he was still alive, as a warrior's instinct, with his eyes closed, Tydamir's hand touched the location of the tomahawk in his memory, and as a result, such a subtle movement caught Case's attention
The steady blade of the sword at his throat without a trace of tremor made him have to stop all attempts, no one wanted to die easily, especially Tedamir, who thought he had died once before, and felt that the blade did not move further, and he opened his eyes carefully
There was a cold light flashing in front of him, and the long sword with a straight spine without any flaws made him a little distracted for a while, this was definitely not a weapon belonging to his own tribe, in Tydamir's impression, even the iron sword that the patriarch gave Celt was like garbage that could be discarded in comparison to the one in front of him
While not touching the sharp blade at the throat, the puzzled Tedamir barely looked up, and the silver full-body armor that caught his eyes, and the figure that was very different from the barbarian, made him understand everything in an instant
"Human !! ~”
Years of conditioned reflex, the moment Tydamir saw Keys, he desperately got up, and even forgot about the longsword that was fatal to him......
"Damn it!"
"No, don't!!"
Seeing that the barbarians under his feet showed signs of resistance, Keith, who was beside Leo, was about to stab the long sword without hesitation in order to prevent the danger from happening, and Professor Pericles, who was resting not far away, suddenly let out a scream, which made his smooth movements a little sluggish
Taking advantage of this gap, Tydamir rolled to the side despite the long bloody streak of blood cut by the blade of his sword, but he could no longer reach the battle axe at hand, and his badly injured body was never able to stand up despite his efforts......
"Bastard~"
Case, who felt insulted by Leo's side, let out a low sigh and raised his sword again, ready to make up for his carelessness
Taking advantage of this gap, the professor had already pounced on him, desperately blocking in front of Tydamir, his outstretched arms like a hen guarding her cubs, but he was panting heavily and could not speak for the time being
"Are you crazy, Professor, Keith get the professor back!"
Seeing this scene, Leo was stunned, he was completely convinced that even if he had no weapons, even if he was seriously injured, the barbarian warrior in front of him would only need a slight twist to break the professor's slender neck, and in shock and anger, he could only pray that Keith would be fast enough......
Frowning, the experienced Keith stretched out his hand, stopped Leo and Finn, who was rushing to find that something was wrong, frowned and took a step forward with a very light step as little as possible not to anger the barbarian, slowly stretched out his hand, and said to the professor in an inaudible voice
"Professor, are you crazy? Before he can react, take my hand, quick! ”
"Nope! My lord, this man saved my life, no matter what the cause was, he saved me, if it weren't for his previous battle, I'm afraid that by the time you came, I would have become the excrement of a barbarian, I beg you, please be merciful to spare him......"
………………
There was silence, stunned, even Tedamir was about to choke the professor's arm and paused in mid-air, and before Leo could speak, Keith had already taken off his helmet and threw it on the ground, shouting hurriedly
"Do you know what you're talking about, professor, look at me, look at the person behind you, he's not the same kind as us, damn it, because of your recklessness and willfulness, in order to save you, my lord, he traveled with us for a day in this humid forest, you, you !!"
For Keys, who was extremely lacking in swearing, he pointed at Professor Pericles and said nothing else
"Hey!"
Tydamir, who finally figured out what was going on, put down his arm with a wry smile, and took a deep look at the thin figure in front of him, his former "prey"
He couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh in his mouth, thinking of the people who slandered him and slashed at his own people, Tedamir lay down directly, no matter what the result was, he was not ready to resist anymore......
As if feeling the murderous aura behind him disappear instantly, Professor Pericles licked his dry lips and looked at Keith's apologetic forehead, but the attitude in his tone was as resolute as ever
"My lord, I beg you once again to forgive him with your kindness, I can guarantee with my life that he will never hurt any of us, I beg you......"
For the first time, from the eyes of the somewhat cowardly professor, Leo saw a clear and unwavering gaze, hesitated, and swept his eyes over the barbarians who were already lying there in a large zigzag shape, giving up all resistance, Leo's throat shook a few times, and finally waved his hand helplessly
"I promised you, Professor, now you can leave your barbarian friends, you know who I am, and I won't cheat you in any way!"
"Thank you, thank you for your respect and kindness, and I, I will write a biography for you in the most beautiful words in the world to express my ......"
"Alright Professor!"
Leo, who was afraid that something would happen again, reached out and unceremoniously pulled the professor who stood up and bowed deeply to his side, and gave Keith a wink and spoke
"Bring the professor's barbarian friends, let's find a place to camp and leave this forest tomorrow morning, I hope Auston doesn't blame us for going back too late!"
Nodding, Keith knew in his heart that Leo was still a little worried, after all, in the history of the continent, there were few accounts of barbarians and humans living in peace
After waiting for a while, after the professor and Leo had left, he walked up to Tedamir, looked at the other man's unyielding eyes as if he had seen through their tricks, raised his sword high and sighed
"You have a good friend, and the professor is a kind person, so it's best not for me to find out that you have failed his kindness!"
With that, in the surprised eyes of Tydamir, who was waiting for death to come, Keith reversed his sword and slammed it down with the hilt......
