Chapter 204: The Operation Continues
Jack was the first to wake up, and the Wolfwalker's powerful physique allowed him to regain consciousness while his companion was still immersed in nightmares. Awakened, Jack rubbed his neck, his last memory was that his neck seemed to have been hit hard and then he was unconscious. Thinking of the sneak attack that had made him faint, the wolfwalker immediately jumped up from the ground and made a fighting gesture around him.
However, he could not find any enemies in the streets of the royal capital, and instead pointed at him and the passers-by who were still unconscious, making Jack realize that the situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined. At this time, the werewolf saw that everyone around him, including Cheese, was asleep against the wall, looking like a drunk who had drunk all night and then collapsed on the side of the road.
Sensing his gaffe, Jack embarrassedly raised his hands back, and only then did he realize that his wolfification had disappeared without knowing when.
Wait a minute, why did it disappear? When did I become a wolf?The wolfwalker's eyes lit up with confusion, and he struggled to remember what he had experienced before he fainted. But apart from the hazy red color and a vague sense of discomfort, Jack couldn't remember anything in the fog. All he could remember was the group of people starting from Crimson Blood, how they got to the street, and how they were attacked, Wolfwalker couldn't remember at all.
But it doesn't matter if he can't remember, Jack knows who will remember what he has forgotten.
"Wake up, Cheese?" slapped his companion's cheek as the werewolf tried to wake up the mage. Perhaps his slapping did its job, and with a moan, Cheese's eyelids fluttered.
"Blood... Fog... Rainwater... Damn it!Flesh Tower!" The awakened mage was clearly not yet free from his nightmare, and as his eyelids opened, he could see Cheese's eyes red. But it wasn't because of magic or energy, it was just a bloodshot eyeball, which also cast a thick red curtain over the world in the mage's eyes.
"Wow, calm down, calm down, cheese. It's all right, we're safe. Jack's hands pressed on the mage's shoulders, he was really afraid that the panicked cheese would unleash some dangerous magic in his hands. And the mage's reaction also convinced the wolfwalker that the discomfort in his memory was definitely not groundless.
"Safe, are we safe?Is this the royal capital?The real blue lion king?" Cheese could only judge the position of his classmates by touch and hearing, as if to ensure that his companion would not suddenly disappear because he had almost lost his sight.
"Yes. This is the royal capital of the blue lion, the real royal capital. Listen, there are pedestrians all around. The werewolf said that he kept his mouth shut, hoping that Cheese would calm down after hearing the noise around him.
As Jack spoke, Cheese focused all his attention on his own hearing, the footsteps of the pedestrians, the conversations, the shouting...... The voice of life was like sunshine that dispelled the panic in the mage's heart. And the solid touch of the rocks behind and below you proves that this is not a nightmare street of flesh and blood. Thanks to this, Cheese slowly calmed down.
"Jack. The mage tried to call his companion's name.
"I'm here, right next to you. The wolfwalker responded, using the power of his hands to prove his existence.
"What's wrong with my eyes?" the thick red in the field of vision made Cheese speculate badly. Although with the reserves of the Gray Tower, it is not very difficult to cultivate and replace a pair of eyeballs. However, the loss of the most commonly used eyesight will still greatly affect the mage's current activities.
"It's okay, your eyes are just bloodshot. A period of rest is fine. Jack reassured. For the Northlanders living in the north, snow blindness caused by staring at white snow for long periods of time can also cause bloodshot eyes, so he also knows that this symptom is often only temporary. It's just that recuperation is inevitable.
Cheese was visibly relieved to learn that his eyes were only congested and could not be used properly, and such an injury was not counting his eyes. But the mage soon realized that there was no time to restore his over-congested eyeballs.
"What is the status of the others?" asked Cheese. Although he stunned his companions at the first time, the mage was not sure about their current situation.
"It doesn't look worse than you. Jack's hands left Cheese's shoulders and went to a large number of Lothar and Kolanty, and the Count of Montenegro and the Witch seemed to have fainted simply.
"That's good. Wake them up and our mission continues. The mage struggled to adjust his sitting position and sat up against the wall.
"Go on, your eyes are like this. From the reaction just now, it is not difficult to see that even a spellcaster with great powers will not be more calm if he loses his vision, and to say that letting Cheese carry out the mission of assassinating the Baron in this situation is tantamount to death in Jack's eyes.
"It's okay for me, you go wake them up. Cheese said in a tough tone, as he reached into his robe and fumbled for something, "It's a bit wasteful, but I can't care about it so much now." Haha, if anyone knew that I used this thing to treat eye congestion, they would be. ”
Wolfwalker didn't know what the mage meant, but out of trust in Cheese, he turned his head and began to wake up the two remaining companions. And as he turned his head, the mage took out a very delicate small crystal bottle from his robe, pointed it to his eyes, and turned it upside down slightly. The little liquid left in the vial flowed into Cheese's eyes.
When Lothar and Colandy also woke up, Cheese's eyes had been restored by the raindrops of the first rain. In fact, the current mage feels that his vision has never been clearer.
"Ah...... In the name of Montenegro, what the hell is going on. The Earl, who wanted to come, said as he rubbed his temples vigorously.
In contrast, Colante's reaction was better. The witch struggled as hard as the werewolf to recall her previous experience, and after realizing that she was also unable to find a clear image, she set her eyes on the ring of thorns on her hand. This ring has the ability to allow both parties to see what the other person sees. However, before she could press the spell on the ring, Cheese's hand was already on hers.
"Believe me, there are some things that are better than never seen before. The mage shook his head slightly, motioning for Kolandi not to do anything stupid.
"But I always want to know what's going on. I don't want to pass out on the side of the road so suddenly. The witch said, looking at Cheese. As a qualified spellcaster, Kolandi can't tolerate being manipulated by something unknown.
"I promise it won't happen a second time. And I think those who attacked us have already paid a heavy enough price. I believe that tomorrow, the garrison of the royal capital will be busy. After all, it is strange to think that so many corpses with only skin and bones left at once. ”
