The cold light behind it is getting stronger and stronger, is that the vicious arrow turned into the cold eyes of the female orc?

"Beware of !! behind your back"

Florella was anxious to warn me, but the victory had completely relaxed my body, and I couldn't react to the killing intent behind me in time.

A muffled grunt was heard, and the girl's face fell limply on my shoulder, as a sharp object pierced my back.

The defeated enemy took advantage of the fact that he still had the last breath, took off the bow and arrow from his back, and made a blow before he died. When I turned back in shock at the stinging pain in my back, the orc was lying in a pool of blood, no longer lifeless.

The arrow hit me at the end of its power, leaving only a deep and shallow wound in my back. Not because of the attacker's weakness, but because Flotra's body blocked most of the strength for me.

"Flotra! How are you? ”

Florella behind her was so angry that she couldn't respond to my anxious call. I don't know what her injuries were, but I'm sure things will take a turn for the worst if they don't get helped!

I need help.

Holding Flotra up from behind me, I knocked on every door I met along the road. Rather, it was the sound of a knock on the metal door with my forehead: the arrow pinned her body to my back, and I did not dare to let go of my hands, lest the change of posture would press on the arrow and make her injury worse.

The forehead was probably bruised by the frequent tapping, but still no one was willing to open the door to help.

Looking inside the house through the detection spell, some of the residents were lying asleep on their beds, and they had no idea what had happened outside the house; Some people, perhaps aware of the chaos in the city, hid in the innermost part of the room, not daring to open the door or answer.

The hysterical yelling didn't help. The sleeping man rolled over, the hiding man curled up more restrainedly, and I had no choice but to continue walking towards the tightly closed door.

On the other side of the city, the fire grew stronger and stronger, until it rose and waned, and the noise of the turmoil gradually subsided. I knocked on door by door, and finally I found a kind person who was willing to open the door for me.

I recognized the familiar attire of an Imperial male, dressed in khaki sacrificial robes and a bright yellow hood, and the person in front of him was Akai's priest. This place must be the Hall of the Dead in Marcus City, and the faint smell of preservatives also confirmed my suspicion from the side.

"Priest of Akai, can you help us?" I turned around and let Flotra's injuries be fully displayed in front of him, "She's very badly injured and needs urgent treatment!" ”

"Did the oathbreaker do it? Hurry up and bring her in! ”

The zealous priest Akai welcomed me into the Hall of the Dead.

……

With the help of Verulus, the name of the priest of Akai, the arrow that pierced Florella's body was first pulled out of my back.

"Don't rush to bandage me, I don't have a big problem, you can take a look at her injuries!"

Priest Akai nodded, casting his gaze on Flotra.

"Although you have slightly soothed her injuries with a life spell, the arrow left in her body is still a huge hidden danger."

"That's what bothered me, I didn't dare to pull the arrow out for fear of implicating her organs. Do you have any good ideas? ”

"Hmm...... Bring her with me. ”

Verulus led me to his workshop. He tossed aside the tools, bottles, jars, and linen scraps from the workbench and motioned for me to place Flotra in my arms on the table.

"As a priest of Akai, I'm often tasked with making dried corpses, so I'm familiar with the structure of the human body. But this is my first attempt at surgically treating a patient, are you willing to take the risk? ”

It's hard to be reassuring that an undertaker is doing the work of a surgeon. But how can you manage so much now? I had to choose to trust him.

"Let's get started!"

……

"What's the sound outside?"

Verulus, who was sterilizing the instruments, asked casually. Alerted by Verulus, I turned my attention away from Flotra's injuries and turned my head to look in the direction of the street outside the door.

Neat steps, well-equipped, dignified aura, this information is visible through the walls under my detection spell, they are the regular army of Marcus City. It appears that the unrest has subsided, the oathbreakers have been transferred, and the army has begun to search for suspicious people from house to house.

"Verulus, is there any place to hide here?"

"What do you mean?" Verulus asked, puzzled.

"There's someone in the city...... Hunting us. ”

"In the city? After? You are...... Oathbreaker?! Hearing my words, Verulus was shocked and retreated, and pointed the scissors in his hand at me.

I put my hands up, "Don't worry, I'm not an oathbreaker, I'm just caught up in a storm caused by an oathbreaker." ”

"Get out of here, Oathbreakers and anyone associated with Oathbreakers are not welcome here!" Verulus was very firm, and it seemed that there was nothing good in his mind about the oathbreakers.

As a last resort, I pulled out the Akai amulet that hung on my chest, "Please, trust me, I'm really not an oathbreaker!" ”

Verulus cautiously took the Akai amulet from my hand and looked at it carefully.

"Well, for the sake of fellow Akai believers, I'll trust you for once. Follow me. ”

……

Verulus led me to a metal door.

"Behind the door is the tomb of the city of Marcas, which has been a bit strange lately, and I have been afraid to enter it. But there is no other place for you to hide. ”

"Thank you!" I bowed to Verulus and thanked him, "After the guards leave, remember to call me out, Flora still needs your healing." ”

"It's good."

The door to the tomb was locked. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the Hall of the Dead, and I crouched behind the door and eavesdropped on the movement outside.

"Your Majesty Verulus, a group of oathbreakers have just rioted, and we have been ordered to hunt down suspicious persons."

"I'm fine here, you guys go straight to the next location."

"We hope you will cooperate with our investigation," the soldier persuaded in a slightly lowered voice after hearing Verulus's eviction order, "An important figure in the Silverblood family is in this riot...... Ahem, you get the idea. ”

"Is it Tonal? Well, I understand the pressure on you from above, so please do it. ”

"By the way, can you open the door to the tomb, Your Majesty Verulus?"

"Letting you enter the hall to search is already an exception, do you still want to disturb the long sleep of your ancestors?" Verulus retorted, "Even if Tonal Silverblood is still alive, he will have to put on a respectful appearance when he comes to the sleeping place of his ancestors!" ”

"No, no, no, I'm just worried that someone is secretly ......"

"Do you take me for a fool? Didn't you see that the door had been locked from the outside? ”

……

Hopefully, Verulus will be able to stop them from entering the tomb. However, I can't pin all my hopes on him, and to be on the safe side, I have to continue to move deeper into the tomb.
