Chapter 29: The Undercurrent That Gradually Swells II
The allure of the Holy Avenger to adventurers is too great, and that kind of priceless treasure is something that every adventurer wants to get their hands on,
Even many adventurers know that only a holy warrior can truly unleash the full power of that treasure.
However, the intrinsic value of the Holy Avenger itself will not change depending on the user, and if the adventurers of the Sideburns Adventure Group can really get a Holy Avenger, then even if no one among them can use it, they can take it to the black market or underground auction house and sell it, and the money earned will be enough for each of them to live the rest of their lives.
Randolph suspected that Fein wanted to steal the rumored treasure, but the young paladin did not have such a small plan in his heart, but simply wanted to get Arya back as soon as possible.
So he didn't think about it, so he went back to the absolute side and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Randolph, but none of you can go with me. ”
"Why?" Randolph's tone was a little unconvinced.
"Because it's an order. The command of your regiment is still in my hands, and don't forget the agreement between us. ”
As the words fell, Finn widened the two brown pupils in his sockets with a serious face, staring at the bald man's eyes at a distance almost face-to-face, as if to tell the other party that he would never compromise on this matter.
Randolph was a little hairy by Finn's gaze.
The leader of the adventuring group was as strong as a bear, and about 190 centimeters taller than the young paladin, but he was so stared at by Finn that he shrunk his neck.
For a moment, he thought about it, and it seemed that tonight's dagger jungle did seem a little strange.
In that case......
"Then according to the agreement, the corpses of these wild wolves will be disposed of by our adventure group, this kind of request is not too much, right?" He looked into Finn's eyes and took a step back, frowning slightly.
The Sideburns Adventure Group is not a big group. But the number of people in the team is more than a dozen people, and all members of this half-sized adventure group have to consume some supplies at a time, and they also risk their lives, if they can't get any benefits in the end, it will be too much of a loss.
With this in mind, before finalizing the cooperation agreement with the Paladin Youth last night, this bald man who was very considerate of his team ran away in vain to prevent a dozen members of the Sideburns Adventure Group from running away in vain in the jungle. Therefore, the young paladins were specially persuaded to give them all the spoils except the Holy Avengers - and in return, they would also send out their entire group to escort the young people through the jungle to the north of the kingdom, and the two sides would not officially part until they went out through the northern entrance of the dagger forest.
Fein didn't care about the animal skins or medicinal herbs in the dagger forest, he only hoped that the sideburns adventure group wouldn't cause trouble for him during the period they were pestering him, so he readily agreed to Randolph's spoils distribution conditions, and also specially explained to Randolph that his group would not deliberately spend more time hunting for treasures.
All in all, the agreement between the two sides does have a seemingly unequal condition that the spoils of war except the Holy Avengers belong to the Sideburns Adventure Band.
So, in the face of this request made to him by Randolph, Finn nodded indifferently. He replied, "That's fine." ”
Then, he lifted his hand away from Randolph's hand on his shoulder, and walked briskly towards Camusha, Lilith, and Leah.
……
The fur of the Grey Sideburn Wolf can be sold for a good price in the hands of a merchant.
The uninjured or very lightly injured adventurers of the Sideburns Adventure Troupe, after Randolph had consulted Finn, quickly collected a large pile of wolf corpses around the camp under the command of their captain, and then orderly divided the corpses of the beasts into several marijuana bags.
After tonight, as soon as they leave the dagger forest and go to a nearby city, they can peel the wolf skins from the carcasses of these gray sideburns and sell them to merchants or tailors for money.
That way, even if they don't find the Holy Avenger in the end. It's not a trip to the dagger jungle for nothing.
The campfire in the camp flickered.
The dagger jungle at night had a gust of wind just now, and the dark woods rustled. The brown-haired young doctor was kneeling on one knee and half-crouching in an improvised tent to tend to the badly injured thief adventurer in the sideburns adventurer.
The doctor with a pair of single-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose used his medical knowledge to take out the alcohol in the toolbox and disinfect the bloody wounds of the adventurer, then applied the medicine and bandages to the latter, comforted the other person to sleep first, and then took out a pamphlet from his clothes and wrote down something with a pen.
"Sheehan."
At that moment, Fein lifted the tent from outside, bent over and poked his head in to look at the young doctor, who had been a pastor for a while.
Sheehan's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Finn. Immediately, he put away the pamphlet in his hand, then turned his head to look at the young knight who suddenly broke in and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
“…… Are you taking medical notes? Fein noticed the pamphlet Sheehan hastily hid in his sleeve.
"It does not conflict with the philosophy of the church."
Sheehan frowned, stammered, and immediately defended his actions. Because he himself knew that the healing effect of Templar was still ahead of medicine, at least in this era.
Instead of putting a better magic spell, but testing the so-called medical skills on the body of the wounded? Also record the results of the test?
Dr. Sheehan, are you planning to blaspheme for a long time?
At that moment, he remembered a past incident in his mind, and he was afraid that Finn would question him like this.
But he naturally thought too much.
Because then, the young doctor found that instead of being criticized by the young paladin, he heard the other person suggest himself: "If you are still recording these in the form of a diary, you can try to make a table of the symptoms you see, it will be more useful." ”
Sheehan was stunned.
After a while, he was sure that he had heard correctly, and then asked again in disbelief: "You don't accuse me?" ”
"What am I accusing you of?" The young man blinked.
He thought to himself, in the future, the war will depend on you, the future field doctors, to support the logistics system of the human alliance.
You must know that the number of paladins and priests is only as large as the one noted on the church roster, and not everyone can learn the magic of the templars.
However, the knowledge of battlefield first aid in medicine, compared to divine arts, is much easier to popularize.
