Chapter 192 Scars
As the same crowbar had predicted, the high priest in front of him did not step forward desperately, but looked at him anxiously, his eyes full of antiquity.
"You...... Know? Really know...... A clue to my daughter? β
Listening to these trembling words, the crowbar knew that his purpose was about to be achieved.
He nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Well...... To show my sincerity, I'll start with a part. After the first war of that year, the troops of the Hunter Empire have set foot near the village where you lived at the time. And your daughter was also taken to the army of the Hunter at this time. Later, with the agreement between the two countries, the Hunter army returned to their country, and your daughter was taken out of the country as a result. β
"I don't know if this can explain the reason why you have been looking for your daughter in the Blue Bay Empire for more than ten years, but there has always been no news?"
The holy bread was already stunned at this time, and it seemed that the shadow that had been clouded in his heart all this time finally showed a ray of light at this moment! His fists were clenched tightly, and his expression was even more excited: "You...... How are you ...... Aware?! This kind of thing...... How could you possibly know?! β
The crowbar smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency the High Priest, as a trade, I naturally need some hole cards. If I tell you everything I know now, how can I be sure that you will keep the deal between us? Well, time is running out, and we won't stop His Excellency the High Priest from continuing to restore the magic. The four of us are wounded now, and it may not be impossible if Your Excellency the High Priest must defeat us. But if His Excellency the High Priest is willing to spare us a life now...... In four days, when the Sanhedrin War has collapsed, we will come back to His Excellency the High Priest and tell us everything we know. β
Now the holy bread has fallen into complete chaos. His hands were stretched out in front of him, and his expression was sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes nervous, and sometimes a little timid.
But when he realized that the four people in front of him were about to leave, he suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Wait a minute! You guys...... You ......"
"Oh, by the way, High Priestess, we almost forgot."
The crowbar turned his head, glanced at the staff of light in his hand, and smiledβ
"If you stop helping the Mermaid Song for no reason, the short man will definitely be suspicious. So we can help you create a reason, you say...... We, the Killer Bee Guild, have attacked you, taken your staff, and prevented you from casting the great magic of the Holy Blessing. Therefore, the staff was entrusted to us for safekeeping. When the Guild War is over, we will return it as soon as possible. β
The holy bread opened its mouth, but for a moment it was not clear what to say. The other empty-handed killer bee member slowly moved behind the Holy Bread, raising the dagger in his hand.
"At the same time, in order to show as much as possible that His Excellency the High Priestess was indeed attacked by us and had to lose his staff, we must inflict some damage on you. So, please bear with me, we will notify the people of Pelican Town to save you as soon as possible. Until then, please bear with me. β
With that, the crowbar, like a noble nobleman, bent down towards the holy bread and bowed to the high priest with a gentlemanly manner. The Huailin on the side and the guild members holding the staff also saluted together.
At this moment, a sharp stabbing pain came from behind him violently. As the blood flowed out of the body, the power quickly disappeared from the body. Sacred Cake gritted his teeth and reached out to press down on the wound to unleash healing magic. At the same time, they could only watch as these people walked away with their staffs.
But he didn't have the slightest emotion to stop......
ββββ
"What? Uncle Holy Cake is injured?! β
Sitting at the table, waiting for dinner to begin, Arrow bounced up from his seat! He could barely believe his ears!
At the same time, the other members who returned to the guild to wait for dinner also stood up at this moment, their faces full of horror and worry.
"Yes! President Arrow! As some of us townsfolk were heading to the Shining Forest, we suddenly saw His Excellency the High Priest lying in the middle of the road, with blood all over his back! You...... Hurry up and take a look! Now Dr. Kora is treating the High Priest! Hurry up...... Hurry up! β
The townsfolk who came to report the news looked panicked, and after saying that, they led the way towards the outside of the guild.
When Brad, Parfay, Cream and Coco heard the news, they also chased them out non-stop. But after rushing out of the door, Coco turned around, only to find that his own president was still standing still?
"Brother President? So what are you waiting for! β
Hearing Coco's voice behind him, Cream in front of him glanced at Brad and Parfay, who had been following the townsfolk to Dr. Kora's clinic, and stopped to look back at Arrow.
(Shining Forest?) Uncle Saint Cake can understand, after all, it is now sparsely populated, it is a good place to absorb the light element, and at the same time, he is very strong, so there is no need to worry. But no matter how much you say it is still winter, the plants in the Shining Forest have not yet begun to grow, and all the townspeople clearly see that the magician is a forest elemental affinity, and being close to the forest means danger, and I have also specially asked the mayor to tell the townspeople not to leave from the east side of the town as much as possible, how can anyone still walk on the road to the Shining Forest at this time? οΌ
Although Arrow's mind was full of questions for a moment, no amount of doubt could be worth the current situation in which the Holy Bread was indeed injured.
Arrow shook his head, and immediately left his seat and went out with him.
Walking through the streets of the town, the Mermaid Song and the group quickly arrived at Dr. Kola's clinic on the east side of the town. As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the Holy Bread was now lying on his back on the treatment bed, and the priest's robe had been taken off on his back, revealing that terrible wound. Kora was mixing herbs and carefully applying them to the wound.
"Uncle Sacred Cake?! What's going on?! β
Coco was a little nervous, and the little girl rushed to the side of the holy cake faster than anyone else, and asked nervously with her hands on the medical bed.
The Holy Bread was now lying on his stomach, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be in a coma.
"Go, go, go! Go aside, don't bother me with the treatment! β
Dr. Kora blasted the cocoa open and continued to apply the mashed herb to the wound on the back of the holy bread, and said as he healedβ
"Fortunately, it was discovered early, and His Excellency the High Priest was not lightly injured! The person who started it was too ruthless! Oh, by the way, President Arrow, 5 silver coins for healing. It's winter now, and herbs are scarce, so a few neighbors and I used a horse-drawn carriage to bring back His Excellency the High Priest, and five silver coins are not much. β
Even now, Iroh wasn't in the mood to argue with the barefoot doctor about the silver coins. He quickly looked around the clinic, but found that something was still missing here, and immediately asked, "Money is not an issue." Dr. Kora, did you find Uncle Sacred Bread's staff when you brought him back? β
"Staff?"
Kora's face was overjoyed when she heard that the president was not going to be stingy with medical fees, and after thinking about it, she shook her headβ
"Didn't find it. When we saw His Excellency the High Priest, he was lying on the ground, and there was no sign of a staff in the scene. β
Don't have a staff?
Arrow's brow furrowed.
But now that the Holy Breads were in a coma, he didn't have much to ask about himself, so he could only ask the doctor about the condition of the Holy Bread.
"Although His Excellency High Priest was seriously injured, fortunately it was discovered early, and His Excellency seems to have been treating himself with light magic, so it is not life-threatening. When it arrived at me, it seemed that he had finally exhausted his magic and fainted. Yes! Although it is not life-threatening, it does not mean that my medical treatment fee will be discounted! β
After hearing that the holy bread was not in danger of his life, Arrow let out a long breath.
But although there is no danger to life, the current problem has no intention of alleviating at all.
That night, the whole Mermaid Song accompanies the Kola Clinic, taking care of the unconscious Holy Bread.
During this period, both the Giant Mountain Guild and the Soul Flame Guild came to visit, and everyone was surprised and very angry at what happened to the Holy Bread.
Needless to say, at this time, the one who will attack the Mermaid Song will not do anything other than the fleeing Killer Bee Guild. Everyone expressed their condemnation of this shitty and despicable guild, and at the same time unanimously promised Arrow that he would cripple and kill this guild when he returned to Lagoon City!
For the statements of these two guilds, Arrow expressed his great gratitude. After sending off the two guilds, the townsfolk led by Round Cheese came to visit. Airo accompanies the mayor and sends him away after saying that it won't affect the guild wars. This went back and forth, and by the time everything was quiet, it was already late at night.
"Hoo ......"
Stand in front of the clinic window and look out at the brightly lit Pelican Town.
Most residents and visitors to the town certainly don't know what's going on here. They still enjoyed this last revelry, making noise and enjoying life in the thriving streets.
But all this is like an irony for Arrow now.
No, it's more appropriate to say a mockery than sarcasm.
Even through the dark sky, Arrow seemed to be able to hear the Viscount Norris laughing at him. It's so cruel, and it's so harsh.
"Elder Brother ...... President"
Coco was a little worried, and she slowly walked over to Arrow, who was looking out the window with her back to everyone, and called softly.
Hearing Coco call herself, Arrow came back to his senses and looked at her. Although he still tried his best to make a smile appear on his lips now, the situation in front of him obviously could not make him smile so easily.
