He opened his eyes, the faint light, the air flow blowing on the eyelids had a cool touch, tears, he looked at the stone top and blinked, this was the first time in countless days to see something outside the darkness, heh, he exhaled a long breath, and the fresh fragrance slowed into his nose.

The familiar scent, like a healing force integrated into the body, spread all the way to the chest, nerves, and consciousness, and he slowly turned his head, and Katrina's head lay to the side, weeping, looking down at her hand.

Tarrant tried to open his mouth: "......" The lips stuck together to block the transmission of the voice.

"Maybe we should go back to Siant, the priest there must have a way," she muttered to herself, holding Tarrant's right hand with both hands.

"Stuck ......," he struggled to break free, "cough!" The itching in his throat made him cough heavily.

"Huh?" she jerked her head up and looked into his eyes, her tired, moist eyes under her red hair suddenly widening, "Tower...... Rand?"

Tarrant smiled dryly, his chin open and nodded.

"...... you," she snapped a word, rubbing her eyes vigorously, "Tarrant?"

"Huh", Tarrant struggled to keep smiling, she had been here all these days, her originally supple red hair now looking dry like a fork, "I'm awake." ”

"......" her eyes widened, turning her head to look out of the cave and then at Tarrant, "you...... You're awake!" An expression of joy, excitement, excitement, surprise, and other elements appeared on her face, "Oh my God!" she exclaimed, "Wake up! really wake up!" Tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she grabbed Tarrant's right hand tightly, "Great! Great!" she jumped up.

"It hurts...... Tarrant's right hand was clenched and unable to pull out, so he could only purse his lips and shout.

"Oh......" she let go of her hand apologetically, "Great, you're finally awake, I have to tell them!" she wiped her eyes, stood up, and ran out.

The robe was stained with dead grass and mud, and just looking at her back, you would never have thought that she was a mage of the research institute.

She pulled up the rattan outside the cave, and the light shone through the hole, and Tarrant squinted, and it was a little dazzling that she hadn't seen the sunlight for a long time.

Excited shouts came from outside the cave, "He's awake! Come and see! He's awake!"

Sounds like propaganda in front of the circus: New gorillas, come and see! Fresh wake gorillas!

Tarrant looked out of the cave and smiled bitterly, this is not the treatment that heroes should receive.

Soon, an older druid walked into the cavern, his face marked the passage of time, his hands shriveled and thin, Katrina followed him, followed by more people, druids, rangers, shooters, all unfamiliar faces.

The men stood around the cave, three paces away from Tarrant's stone bed, and the old man stopped in front of Tarrant, "Hello, brave knight", and his voice seemed very full, a little different from the image of his master.

Tarrant blinked, he wanted to pay his respects to the Great Druid, but he couldn't lift his hands up.

"On behalf of the Balance Messenger here, I thank you for your efforts, with your help the Green Forest Mountain has been purified, and those filthy creatures have returned to the ground. ”

It's downright good news, Tarrant grinned, "yes...... cough", his mouth is as dry as a desert, and whenever air comes in, it makes his throat extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't speak", the Grand Druid reached out to stop Tarrant, "Your body is still weak", his hand was on Tarrant's forehead, which reminded Tarrant of the hands of those mages in the lair, the Great Druid continued: "The body temperature is getting normal, and your wounds are healing well, but you are too weak to rest for a while", he turned to one of the druids and said, "Bring some water and food." ”

The druid nodded and walked out, his back somewhat resembling Kitty's, but with shorter hair and a relatively weak gait, and Tarrant turned his head to look at the mage.

"Do you know how long you've been lying down?" the mage asked.

"II...... Cough...... Twenty-two days", he vaguely remembered a voice saying in one of the scenes.

"Twenty-two, that was three days ago," the mage raised his small fist.

"Huh", Tarrant smiled, "Ahem!"

Looking at Tarrant's expression, Catrina seemed to think of something, she put away her fists, and combed her long hair and robes with both hands, "Twenty-five days, I've been serving you here for twenty-five days! Think about what you should pay", she sneered viciously.

Tarrant still smiled, willing to pay any price.

"What's so ridiculous?!you're no different from a pig yourself, live here......" Katrina stopped abruptly, glancing at the Grand Druid in shame, "Oh...... I ......"

The Great Druid smiled kindly, "I understand, I didn't live here since I was a child. ”

The female druid walked to the stone bed with two small wooden basins, water and some kind of brown plant fruit.

"Eat something, you haven't eaten in a long time", the Grand Druid handed the small tub to Katrina.

"It's time to feed the pigs again," she said, taking the tub seemingly disdainfully, "you'll have to send me a better scroll to make up for it when you get back," she carefully picked up Tarrant's head.

A clear spring flowed into his mouth, Tarrant opened his mouth wide and gulped, he had never tasted so wonderful, it was clear and pure, and his whole body seemed to be revived in the stream, "Ha......" He drank the water in the wooden basin in one go, and the dryness of his throat subsided, "Thank you", he said to everyone in the cave.

"It is we who should be thanked," the Great Druid humbly took the tub, "without your help, there would be no peace in the Green Forest Mountain." ”

"How's that lair going?" Tarrant still wondered about what was going on over there.

"...... over there," the Great Druid recalled, "it's no longer a problem, it's just ......"

The expression of regret did not go as smoothly as he imagined, and Tarrant roughly understood the accident that would happen.

"Can't find a way for them to leave. ”

"What!?" Tarrant almost returned the water he had just drunk, "They're leaving?"

"The current situation...... Yes, the lair has been completely destroyed except for the entrance to the cave, the soil has collapsed from the top, many passages have been completely blocked, and we have found some psionic and human corpses, which confirms the risk you have taken, but unfortunately they have finished cleaning up before we arrived, and have found no clues about them. ”

Tarrant glared at the Grand Druid in surprise, it sounded incredible, and in such a short period of time, the Psiguec had diverted all the information and destroyed the lair...... Perhaps they had been prepared for the situation, and Tarrant asked, "What about the accused?"

The Great Druid shook his head, "Sucked." ”

"Halflings ...... too?"

"No survivors have been found yet, and the lair continues to be excavated. ”

"What about the halflings under the Temple?!"

"Temple?" the Grand Druid asked.

"It has been buried in the earth," interjected Katrina, "and those who go in will not find the passages we have walked, nor the pits we have dug and the temple below, and I am afraid that the temple of the god of wisdom will be forgotten once again." ”

"Oh......" Tarrant lay down, the laughter echoing softly in the darkness.

"Take a rest", the Great Druid observed Tarrant's injury, gave him his blessing, and said to Caterina, "If you need it, you can always come to me", he greeted and turned away.

The people around saluted and withdrew one by one, leaving only Katrina.

"Hey, don't think about that", she knew what Tarrant was thinking, and she avoided mentioning it as well, "You know, I have good news", she smiled slightly.
