By the time Hyde woke up, it was nearly 9 p.m. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thanks to Ling Dan once again taking out the fruit of the World Tree, otherwise his recovery time would probably be extended. After grinding the "Ancient Sacrifice of Essify" into a paste, Ling Dan poured it into Hyde with a bottle of light healing potion and some spring water, which were extremely precious to ordinary people.

Speaking of which, Ling Dan himself rarely had the opportunity to use these potions, but he used them more often to save people! This made Ling Dan a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ling Dan completed a side quest "Mercenary's Blood Romance" and earned 1 Destiny Point.

"Paladin, thank you for saving me! Thank you to your necromancer teammates too, well, why is it just you? ”

"Uh...... I'm a necromancer and my name is ...... It's called Daniel Lim. Ling Dan showed a warm smile and said deliberately, "As for that Holy Light Bullet, it was the last one on my Charge Ring, not because I was a Paladin. ”

Hyde was a little surprised, and asked Ling Dan a lot: "It turns out that you are a lone necromancer turned professional, thank you for saving me!" But I don't think I've heard your name in Canduras? ”

Ling Dan's Oriental face helped him again: "I'm a necromancer from Kurast, it's normal that you haven't heard my name. I traveled to Canduras to gain a free skill point, hoping to receive a bottle of Pure Heart Water from Sister Acala. ”

"I see." Hyde looked clear, "Indeed, many people have come to admire Lord Akara's Pure Heart Holy Water. As a kind reminder, if you want to obtain the Pure Heart Elixir, you may need to serve in the Tymo Fortress for a while, or if you can do something great, you will also be rewarded by the Sisters of the Blind Eyes. Oh hell, what am I making small talk to you about! Those...... What about the 'zombies'? ”

"Wait, you're not completely healed!" Ling Dan hurriedly pressed Hyde who was about to stand up: "Those zombies have been destroyed by me!" In fact, since I found the crawling traces of a mutated zombie in the wasteland, I followed it and found your fight. I also helped you heal your wounds, I don't believe you touched your legs. You're in luck! ”

"Mutant zombies? Am I lucky ......? Hyde touched his injured leg, but only touched the pink new skin in his tattered trousers. The traces of the original scratches by the ghouls are indeed gone. Hyde instinctively realized that the "lone necromancer" in front of him, Mr. Daniel Lim, might have consumed a precious bottle of minor healing potion to pull him back from the gates of hell.

After making sure that he was truly healed, Hyde finally recovered from his rapid breathing. Hyde took the wooden bowl handed by Ling Dan with some numbness, and was subconsciously attracted by the fragrance, and drank a large mouthful of broth.

After all, Ling Danna's cooking skills from China far exceed the world average, and the mutton soup carefully boiled with the addition of expensive spices is not only completely fishy, but also perfectly brings out the umami of the mutton with a small amount of rock salt.

After a bowl of hot mutton soup, Hyde finally came to his senses and said, "What a faux pas!" I haven't even introduced myself! Hello, Dear Lord Daniel, my name is Hyde, thank you so much for saving my life! And also...... That one...... Can you bring me another bowl of soup? ”

"Hyde, is it? Nice to meet you, brave mercenary! Come, you eat more. Ling Dan smiled and filled another bowl for Hyde. The Job-Changing Emblem is so magical, it can hold a lot of items in it. Raw meat like mutton and beef will not spoil if stored for a long time.

Seeing that Hyde's mental state was stable, Ling Dan began to interrogate, "Can you tell me how you encountered these mutant zombies?" ”

"It's a long story...... Hyde's face suddenly showed a sad look, "Our team...... I don't know if they'll survive this battle......"

In Hyde's account, Ling Dan understood what had happened.

Hyde belongs to a mercenary team called "Iron Rose", and today he is on a mission to go to the villages near the stronghold of the Icy Plains to investigate the incident of what is suspected to be a "cult sacrifice ritual". However, on their way to the village, they encountered these mutated "crawling zombies".

Since Iron Rose is a mercenary squad, their strength is rather limited. What's more, the commander of the Icy Plains stronghold was originally a squad selected according to the mission of investigating the cult. If only against some degenerate civilians, then the mercenary squad is more than enough. But if it's dealing with the ghouls of the Scourge Legion, the Iron Rose Squad is simply not enough to see.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, they fought and retreated, retreating to a nearby fort, intending to use the fort to hold on temporarily and wait for reinforcements from the stronghold. However, there are too many ghouls coming to besiege them......

Hyde, as the striker in the team, resolutely chose to break the back for his teammates! If it weren't for Ling Dan's appearance, Hyde would have been a meal in the belly of those ghouls.

Ling Dan didn't dare to tell the truth about the ghoul, he just told Hyde that it was a reptilian zombie called a ghoul.

"This zombie is roughly a variant of the starving dead, with the ability to nibble on corpses to regain life. As for why they have so much health, I think they may have crawled out of some nightmarish area, a cold cave, or a place where bones are buried. I think I'll have to go and explore these two places before I can make a judgment. ”

Since Ling Dan pretended to be a necromancer, he simply pretended to be an expert again, and fooled Hyde with his words.

But Hyde wasn't in the mood to explore the origin of these ghouls with Ling Dan right now, and he still cared deeply about his teammates. Although Hyde made the severed human flesh bait, he couldn't tell if his teammates would be hunted down by the other ghouls.

Hyde hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and seemed to have finally made up his mind, took out a heavy money bag, and muttered to himself, "I originally wanted to finish this ticket and buy Nana a blue-level magic ring...... Hey, it looks like I'm going to have to save a few more years...... However, how can money be compared to Nana's life?! ”

"Oh no, don't listen to me! You can ask for this money, this is to thank you for saving me......" Hyde reacted, Ling Dan was watching him from the sidelines, and quickly explained, "If possible, I hope you can save my teammates again...... Oh no, maybe you can think of it, escorting me to find my teammates? (To be continued.) )
