Chapter 10 Recuperation
Returning to the open space where he had rested before, Barred didn't care about worrying about his injury, and quickly picked Adeline off his horse, gently laying it flat on the ground, and then stared at the mage with his eyes closed at a loss, not knowing what to do. Either way, at least Adeline's slightly heaving chest reassured the warrior, and Barred guessed that the girl might just faint.
As soon as he relaxed, the labor pain in his shoulder returned, and Barred was sweating profusely and almost fainted. No, I've got to wake her up, or if I pass out, no one will ever wake up again. Barred took off his shirt, the clothes on his right shoulder were completely red with blood, and he smelled of blood, he looked around, took out the water bladder from his pannier, unscrewed the lid and fell down on his right shoulder. The pain in his heart made him grit his teeth, his right hand clenched his clothes, and the green tendons on his arms burst out. The blood was washed away, the wound was deep, and the miserable appearance of the skin and flesh made Barred frown, as a mercenary, he knew very well that if he didn't get timely treatment, then this arm would definitely not be saved, but it was still two days away from Paradais, and he didn't know if there was a doctor who could heal the wound.
Barred shook his head and decided not to think about it for now, he poured a little cold water into his right hand, and then sprinkled it on Adeline's face, the mage's brow twitched twice, Barred saw that there was hope, and in excitement he simply raised the water bladder and poured it down, and the cold water went straight to the mage's nose. Adeline sat up sharply, then fell to the ground coughing incessantly, her blonde hair drenched in cold water. "What have you done to me, Bared!"
Seeing Adeline wake up, Barrettard suddenly feels that there is hope in the world again. "I just want you to wake up quickly. ”
Adeline finally regained her breath, and she sat down on the floor in a dignified manner, arranging her long messed hair and clothes. "All I remember is that it seems to have been attacked by magic, what happened?"
Barrede's gaze was staring straight at Adeline's wet face and hair. "Oh...... Then I caught you right down there, and the three of us fled here on Lucius's horse. ”
"Really? That horse is not simple. Adeline said, raised her head, suddenly saw the ** warrior with her upper body, and quickly lowered her head. "You...... What are you doing here? Put your clothes on!"
"My ......" Barred gripped his right arm tightly, trying to alleviate some of the pain. "We must leave for Paradais as soon as possible, or my right hand will be lost. ”
Adeline pulled a silver ribbon out of her clothes, grabbed her long blonde hair into a handful, tied a high ponytail behind her head, and peeked timidly at Barrede's shoulder. "Don't bother, I can treat you, but you'll have to put your shirt on first. ”
Barred grimaced. "Not to mention getting dressed, you can't tell me to prepare dinner now, my arms can't move at all. ”
Adeline pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time, but finally seemed to have made up her mind. "Okay, don't move, I'll come over and treat you. With that, the mage slowly moved to Barrede's side, leaning sideways and leaning her face over, although she was mentally prepared that the injury must not be light, but when she saw the red flesh turned out, Adeline still felt a tumbling in her stomach. "Those werewolves are terrible. ”
"Indeed, like being wounded by the claws of a beast, it will suppurate and inflame tonight, and emit a foul smell, and tomorrow morning it will die of necrosis, and it must be cut off, otherwise it will infect the whole body, and then it will festering and die. Barred glanced at the wound, and the blood had turned dark red.
"That's enough, don't say it!" Adeline almost vomited. "From now on, until I finish my treatment, you don't talk anymore. ”
Barred shrugged, and the action made his teeth crack in pain.
Adeline raised her hands and hovered above the warrior's right shoulder, a circle of golden light enveloping her shoulder. A cool itching sensation came from his shoulder, and a peaceful feeling reached Barrede's heart, and he wanted to ask Adeline what kind of magic this was, but remembered that the mage had told him not to speak, so he had to hold back and look at Adeline's focused appearance. It was the first time he had been able to observe Adeline from such a close distance, and although he had attacked the mage and hugged her last night, Adeline had been struggling at that time, so he hadn't seen it properly. And now, the girl's beautiful face stopped in front of him, only a body away, and the fragrance wafted in, burrowing into Barrede's nose, and for a moment, he even wished that his injury would stop in its current state, so that Adeline could maintain this healing position all the time.
But things didn't always go as planned, and it didn't take long for Adeline to put down her hands and exhale hard, only to find that Barred was looking at her with a blank face, and quickly lowered her head and walked back to her original position. "It's almost dinner time, and now that your wounds have healed, please make me a cup of tea." ”
Barred waved his right hand in disbelief, his face full of surprise. "It's really good, I can barely feel like I've been hurt, except for the blood. ”
Adeline is very happy with her results. "That's the power of magic, and that's why many warriors want to connect with mages, so they don't have to worry about getting hurt anymore, and they need to be treated effectively as long as they live. ”
"It's magical. Barred was amazed, and suddenly remembered that the other man was still lying on horseback, and immediately carried Lucius down. "Can you wake him up? He doesn't look like you're in a coma. ”
Adeline didn't even glance at Lucius. "Don't worry, his coma is caused by potions, it turns out that he will wake up after he was turned into a werewolf tonight, and now, he will wake up almost tomorrow morning. ”
"But he hadn't eaten for a day. Barred was still not reassured. "I'd better feed him some water. As he spoke, the warrior ripped Lucius's lips open and carefully poured water into it.
Adeline looked at Barreid's attentive appearance, and said lightly, "This time I have to admit that without your help, I couldn't have succeeded in getting the information, thank you, Barrede." ”
As soon as Barred was excited, his hand shook, and a stream of water rolled into Lucius's mouth, filling it up, and Barred immediately clenched the water bladder. "I also want to thank you, Adeline, I couldn't have saved Lucius without you. ”
Adeline smiled. "Then we don't owe anyone anything this time, and you don't want to tell me about helping me, remember?"
"Why? You're really strange, I was skeptical that you got here by yourself, and you didn't even know how to boil water, and you were able to get here from Chavanna?" Barred finished feeding Lucius, sat down on the ground, and drank his water with his head up.
Adeline thought about it and continued. "To tell you the truth, when I first set out from Chavanna, I was protected by four guards who escorted me all the way to this place and then found me this open space to rest. ”
"What about them, have they all become werewolves?" Barred glanced around the clearing again, and there was no sign of anyone else.
"They...... I drove him back to Parades. Adeline pouted. "I don't want to be told that I did it with four guards, I want them to know that I can do it alone. ”
Barred snorted. "Your stupid self-esteem almost cost you your life, do you know what a loss your death is to the world?"
"What do you mean by that?" Adeline looked at Barreid, puzzled.
"Oh...... This, I mean......" Barred frantically poured some cold water into the teapot and placed it on the fire that Adeline had lit, deciding that he had to be brave enough to speak his mind. "I mean you're so beautiful and charming, and if you die like this, all the men of Wallis will be sad. After saying this, Barred himself felt disgusted.
Adeline narrowed her eyes and stared at the warrior for a moment. "Bared, I thought you were an upright swordsman, but I didn't expect to be the same as those vulgar men, full of sweet words, don't think I don't know the purpose of saying these words, you men only have that one thought in their heads?"
"Which idea?" Barred retorted, then understanding what Adeline was referring to. "I definitely don't have that kind of dirty thoughts, I feel from the bottom of my heart that if you die, it will be a huge regret for me, perhaps the biggest regret of my life. ”
Adeline looked at Barrede's sincere eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "We've just met, and you don't know much about me, and the images at first glance are usually wrong. ”
Barred shrugged. "It doesn't matter if it's wrong, I'll follow my heart, even if it's wrong. ”
Adeline sighed and glanced at the steaming teapot. "The water is boiling, Barred. ”
