Section B, Chapter 34: Visiting and Healing (Eders)
After a moment of pause, Eders suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: there was such a passage to the underground in the lord's room, and the corruptor had brought himself in! In other words, this room, which was supposed to be the safest room on the fourth floor, was actually extremely dangerous......
It is impossible for the Corruptor to bypass the sight of the guards outside the room, which means that I was really transferred in. Thinking of this, Eddes immediately looked around and walked to the lord's bedroom: he had to make a report as soon as possible.
The guards outside the room alertly heard Edus's footsteps and turned their heads. Immediately, they all rushed to the captain's side in surprise.
"Captain, we can't find you anywhere, we're so worried. The slightly chubby guard swayed slightly: "When we heard the sound of something exploding, we ran to check it outβyou know, it wasn't a shift yet, and we were both on patrol." β
"And then we found Quill's body!" the slightly thin guard cried out in an excited voice, "We're scared to death...... Prague adjutant they haven't come back yet, and you're missing. There was no commander for a while--Captain, where did you get into the room? There's only one exit?!"
"It came out of the secret room there...... I'll tell you all about the details later. Edus pointed to the exit of the chamber and said tiredly, "Now tell me - how is Denor?"
"Still in a coma. The fat man sighed, "Dr. Ennis has done some rescue work on him, and now Dr. Deno is lying on the bed in his study, surrounded by all the stoves we can get his hands on - Lord Metz even insisted on giving the poor boy the stove in his bedroom, but was stopped by Dr. Enis." In order to prevent Deirno's condition from worsening, the doctor stayed with him in the study. β
It's really like Lord Mace...... "What happened to Quill's body?"
"Scraps of Quill's body have been collected as much as we can and put into sacks. The thin guard reported with a slightly pale face.
"Quill ...... He saved Denor's life. Edus's heart swelled up with sadness again: "So where is Master Nadia?"
"Maester Nadia, Mistress Mace, Lady Elena, and Elton were all discussing something in the bedroom. The fat man spoke before the thin man again.
"Alright, let's get back to work. Eders nodded, patting the two soldiers on the shoulders. After seeing the soldier leave, he turned and walked to his study: his greatest concern now was Drno's safety.
There was a knock on the door of the study, and Dr. Enis's lazy tone came, "Edus, right? β
As soon as he opened the door, Eddes immediately felt a wave of warmth hit him. The temperature in the room was high, which made his half-cold stiff body comfortable.
"Are you stupid, don't you close the door!" Ennis, who was drinking tea, glared at him: "It's so easy to get a little hot, let you go." β
"Ah, yes. Edus hurriedly closed the door behind him and approached Derno, who was lying on the bed covered with a heavy quilt. "Speaking of which, you're not dead yet. Enis's words made Eders almost trip over the legs of the table.
"yes! I'm not dead!" Eddes glared at him fiercely, "I'm sorry to disappoint you!"
"I didn't mean that. I'm just having a little 'humor'. Ennis still joked in a way that was neither funny nor tasteless: "Your steel helmet is not on your head, and your head is in full view." β
"Alright, you're making fun of my head all the time. Do you know you-" Before Eddes could finish his words, he choked on what was shaking in Enis's hand, "Isn't this my helmet?"
"Here you go! You don't have a helmet knock, I look awkward. Ennis stretched lazily and buckled his helmet on the small table beside him: "I'll ask the soldiers to send your helmet here." Because I guessed that you bastard wouldn't die easily, and that the first thing you would do when you came back here would be to visit your subordinates - and that's what you're going to remember. β
"As soon as the words come to your mouth, they all taste bad...... Can't you just praise me?" Eders picked up his helmet, half-gratefully and half-complaining, and held it in his hand.
"Are you a child, do you still need praise from adults?" Ennis pursed his lips contemptuously: "Why are you doing so much?"
"Come on, I'm too lazy to fight with you. Eders tapped on his helmet and approached Denor.
"How is he now?" said Edus, looking at the sleeping soldier, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved: sure enough, the Corruptor didn't make a move on him.
"No fear for my life. But I don't know how long I'll be dizzy. Ennis snorted inexplicably: "Fortunately, these boys found out quickly and immediately found me for treatment." Otherwise, tsk......"
"Alright, alright! I know you're a good doctor. Show yourself off and find someone else. Eders lowered his body slightly and reached out to touch Denor's neck: "Great, the body temperature is normal...... When will he wake up?"
"I don't dare to play any package tickets. Enis's gaze wandered: "But it's only a matter of time before he wakes up...... It may be in time for the castle to fall completely. β
"Don't say discouragement. Edes refuses to acknowledge this reality: "We still have a chance...... Although it is very slim. β
"yes, chance...... That's a nice thing to say. Enis's gaze was focused, and he was staring at Edus, "I heard that all of our letter crows are dead? β
"That's true, but you can't give up. Eders tried to make his tone sound more confident. Unfortunately, he found that there was only a sense of frustration. In order to change the topic to a lighter one, Eders focused his attention on Enis's gaze: "What have you been looking at since just now?"
"Look at your filthy ass. Ennis made a snorting tongue sound: "There is a lot of dust sticky, and it is disgusting." β
"Nonsense, I've been sitting on the floor of the Chamber of Secrets for so long. Eders hurriedly patted his buttocks: "Okay, since Derno is fine, I should also go to Lord Mace." β
"Wait a minute. Ennis put down the cup of tea that had not been drunk for a long time, and stood up: "Your right index finger seems to be frostbitten quite badly...... Shall I take care of it for you before leaving?"
"I've been watching this for a long time. Eders twisted slightly and put his helmet back on his head: "Also, I didn't even think about it just now." β
"Doesn't that seem to be very uncomfortable...... It's not that serious. Ennis sat back in his chair and picked up the cup of tea again: "Alright, you can go quicklyβthe patient needs to rest quietly." β
"He's fainted and rests quietly, your uncle!" Eddes suddenly felt his frostbitten fingers tingle to death: "Hurry up and treat me, you bastard who sells cheap bastards!"
After the treatment, Eders' right index finger was covered with a bandage of ointment. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Eddes felt the ointment continue to heat up, and his hand was strangely comfortable.
"Well, it feels good, isn't it? It's my quick-fix for frostbite. Ennis looked at Eders' finger proudly: "I'll tell you, it's someone else-"
"Alright, show your medical skills again. Eders smiled wryly and stood up again and walked to the door.
"Hurry up and close the door, don't forget. Ennis leaned closer to the armchair and said in a languid tone.
"Thanks, Enis. The captain straightened his helmet and quickly closed the door to prevent the enemy's sharp verbal counterattack.
Swinging his right index finger, Eders thumped his waist in satisfaction and walked to the lord's bedroom.
