Section XXII

"Ahem, ahem!"

I don't know how long it took, but a cough in the grass startled a few wild birds that came to drink water.

Fez, who had recovered, climbed out of the water with difficulty, and lay on the beach with his body.

After checking his body, Fez found that his body was extremely bad, his right arm was still broken, multiple fractures in his body and internal bleeding from Yan zhòng, and Fez was also glad that even this was not dead, it was definitely a miracle.

But Fez felt that the worst thing was that his magic was extremely chaotic, and he was on the verge of collapse, and his mental power was not much better!

If magic can still be used, Fez will definitely be able to heal his body in a short time, but apparently Fez can't use magic for the time being.

Lying on the beach, Feza Q rejoiced that if he didn't die, he would be blessed.

But if you let Feth know that the phantom god clone is similar to Fez, and it is even worse, but he didn't die, I'm afraid he will have trouble sleeping!

It took Fez half a day to heal the chaos of spirit and magic, but Fez found that his strength seemed to have regressed to level five, that is, the level before entering the temple.

The only difference is that the magic in Fez's body is more refined, if it weren't for the gold magic and wood magic energy in his body, plus the plane (three-dimensional) magic array carved on his limbs, and the space bracelet on his arm, I'm afraid Fez would feel that he was just having a dream.

Fez treated his body briefly, and then took out the magic wand and magic gloves that he had kept from the "space bracelet", which were outdated before, although Fez didn't need these anymore, but Fez knew that Huaibi was guilty, so these were just to cover up.

There is also the sand lizard leather coat that has been torn several times, Fez can only be draped on his body "easily", if he walks on the street now, he will definitely be arrested as a hooligan.

The most valuable thing on Fez's body now is the belt, the water bottle hanging, the money bag being tied, the staff being inserted, and the crossbow with only seven crossbow arrows left in the crossbow sleeve.

Now Fez looks like a fallen nobleman, and he is also the kind of person who is very rich at a glance, Fez just wants others to rob, because Fez needs someone to ask what time it is? Where is this place? What is the shape of the continent? Is there a war going on?

But maybe he knew that Fez was not easy to mess with, and walked in the desert for three days, not to mention the robbers, and he didn't even encounter a "robbed" monster, as if all of them disappeared from Fez's world, and only the occasional desert plant that popped up with sand and soil meant that there were no other creatures here.

Fortunately, now Fez doesn't have to think about food and water sources, the expired moss cake can probably last for a month, as for the water source, Fes's mastery of the water element is also good, saving a little use can completely reach the point of self-sufficiency, of course, it is a balance in a short period of time.

Fez wanted to walk along the river, but it disappeared no more than three kilometers at either end of the river, maybe it was an underground river, maybe it just disappeared, but it didn't matter anymore.

Three days later, Fez's injuries were basically recovered, but Fez's right arm didn't know why, although it was already healed, but it was not very flexible, let alone doing heavy work, and it was a little difficult to even pick up the magic wand, it could be said that he was half-disabled, as if something had blocked the flow of blood vessels.

"What the hell is the weather?" Fez, complaining again about the ghost weather.

Sandstorms three times a day, especially now, are so obscured that you can't see anything when you go out.

Faith hides in the sand hut he created using his magic, using his mental power to constantly check his surroundings.

At the same time, whenever the sand spilled over the corners of the wall more than knee-deep, Fez's raised the foundation of the earthen house to prevent it from being buried, a job that was carried out almost every ten minutes.

Suddenly, Feth vaguely felt that several figures were moving, but due to the wind and sand, the realization was not very clear, and Feth was not sure whether it was a human or not.

If you are traveling in this weather, it is impossible to go far unless you want to die.

The biggest enemy is this weather, the bodies of humans and animals are falling, and the unsolid sand can bury people and animals in an instant.

Walking without knowing the direction can make a team completely lost in the desert, and every qiē and qiē imply that it is not suitable to walk in a sandstorm.

But this is just a general situation, and if there is a special situation, it is like the team that Fez sees now.

Fez obviously didn't want to miss it, the only human being seen these days, but Fez didn't rush over directly, but set off a huge fireworks on the roof, plus the earthen house was already on top of a sand dune, so unless they were blind, or didn't look up at all, it was impossible not to see the situation here.

"Captain, what do you see there?" asked one of the team members, pointing to the fireworks floating in the sky.

"Max, it could be a ghost fire, we can't get close to it, or we'll be devoured by the ghost fire. The other team member had apparently seen the fireworks in the sky, but the legend of the desert still scared the team.

"Well, what kind of weather it is, and I don't know if the orcs are chasing after it.

Captain, we need to stop and rest, or we might get lost in this desert!" said the member of the team called Max.

The captain glanced at the back, there was no shadow at all, of course, it was also due to the sandstorm, the vision was blurred thirty meters away, and only the fireball with a diameter of more than one meter could be seen by people in the distance.

"Okay! Let's go a little further, and if we're sure no one is following, we'll stop and rest.

This time the goods are more valuable, even if we lose one thing, we will lose a lot. The captain took the lead and walked in the direction of the firelight.

"Alright! here we are, let's set up camp!" said Captain Si, pausing in a leeward area, examining the terrain and finding a suitable location for camping.

"Okay! Everyone stopped and set up camp. Max shouted loudly.

A team of more than 20 people and more than a dozen groups of horses began to act in an orderly manner, a few people set up horses, a few people set up camps, a few people counted the luggage and goods, and a few people were responsible for the guard task.

Captain Slow still looked at the place where the fire had just shone, and the captain knew that this place was not far from the place just now, only a mile at most, and he would be there after crossing this sand.

Facing an unknown "enemy", this is the last thing a captain wants to encounter, even if it is a battle, it is better than being on guard all the time!

So after the team was settled, the captain took Max over the sand hill and approached Fez's earthen house.

Fez, who knew that someone was approaching, deliberately pretended not to know, and even the work of cleaning the earthen house was temporarily stopped.

Not the knock on the door, but the sound of hitting the wall, because Fez didn't make the door at all.

"Anyone?" was still Max's voice.

"Who? want to tear down the house?" said Fez, opening the door of the earthen house.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" Fez, asked faintly.

"And who are you, and why are you here?" asked Max rhetorically.

"I'm a wizard!

It's showing the way to the traveler. Fez's nonsense, but the expression on his face was very serious, but Fez's was right, the magician was good, but the guidance seemed to be only for this group of mercenaries who came to visit, and it was still to attract the other party.

However, Fez's appearance is obviously not the same, the first is the clothing, there is no magician equipment that identifies the identity, even the lowest apprentice magic apprentice, they have different clothing.

The second is dressing, the one with the magician is wearing only one dress, no shoes, and there is not only a magic wand on his belt, but also a bow and crossbow.

The third is that Fez has been using his left hand, and his right arm naturally droops, there must be a problem, in front of the world, the magician has no disability.

For three reasons, Sloe, the leader of the mercenary group, apparently didn't quite believe Fez's nonsense.

"Do you know where this is?" Slow was already on guard, and if there was anything wrong with Fez, Slow would subdue or kill Fez.

"Huh!

Don't be so nervous, I'm just a lost magician. Seeing that Slow and Max were about to make a move, Fez immediately told the truth, and at the same time spread his hands to show harmlessness.

"Mage, how could there be a mage in this place alone?" Max still had some questions.

"I'm a magician!

I'm right here, what do you want to do to me, I don't have the money. Fez's scoundrel was a scoundrel as he gathered a water balloon with his right hand, and his left hand was ready to attack the magic.

The two sides held each other, and the water balloon that emitted a faint blue light looked so eerie and cold in the dark environment.

"That's it!

I'm Sloe, the captain of the mercenary group, respected magician, what rank are you?"

Although Slow let down his vigilance, Max was still on guard, but Fez ignored Max and withdrew his magic.

"Fez, a fourth-level magic apprentice, majoring in earth and water, and minoring in fire and wind. "Fez's deliberately turned the magic of his learning upside down, after all, it is necessary to defend against people.

"Four systems of magic, earth and water majors, you are a mage who specializes in assisting in combat. ”

Slow somewhat believed Fez's words, generally speaking, the more types of magic a low-level mage learns, the worse their talent becomes.

Generally, the talented ones only learn two departments, and the genius even learns one spell, and when he reaches the seventh level of the Great Magician, he will learn the magic of other departments, which will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Hmm!" Fez, still looking half-dead.

"What's going on with your right arm?

I don't think a magician would cripple himself. Max was still a little confused.

"Magic is unexpected, it's just that you can't use your strength. Fez replied lightly, but this attitude once again weakened Captain Sloe's suspicion by half a point, only with such an attitude would he not be a thief or a robber.

"Let me see!" Max took a step forward and grabbed Fez's right arm directly.

After smashing Fez's right arm a few times, Max looked up at Captain Slow and nodded that there was no problem.

"Excuse me!

My brother was reckless. Although Slow still has some doubts about Fez's deposit, he can already be sure that Fez's idea is not to fight their goods, so he is no longer hostile.

Fez didn't answer coldly, and directly withdrew his right arm, "You take me back to the nearest city, and I can temporarily serve as your medical staff to treat the wounded." ”

For such a desert march, the wounded must be stored in zài, and it is very difficult to treat, there is a healing magician in the zài, which is simply a blessing for a mercenary group, but as the captain of the team, Slow can't agree to it.

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know!

Maybe it was an accident!" Fez's words didn't know to push everything away, but in fact, Fez's didn't know at all.

"If you don't believe me, you can send your wounded to me for treatment.

When you leave, as long as you give me a horse, food and shelter, I will give you free work, I can always be by your side, or I can stay away from you, I will not participate in any of your decisions. Fez's conditions were stated.

After underestimating it, Soth and Max decided to leave Fez behind, because the nearest city is actually an oasis near the water source, and there are about three or four days to travel from here, and the effect of leaving a magician is still very obvious.

The most important thing is that there are indeed a few wounded in his own team, because he has been in a hurry, the current situation is not optimistic, plus his own surveillance, there should be no problems.

In this way, Fez followed the two back to the camp, and although everyone was curious about the group leader bringing outsiders over, no one questioned them face-to-face, obviously Sloe's prestige in the mercenary group was still quite high.

"There are two wounded here, can you help us treat them?" said Slow very politely.

"As long as it's not a hidden wound, I can try a general sword wound. "As a fifth-level magician, Fez is obviously not omnipotent, and there is no guarantee that any wound can be treated.

"Thank you! "Slow obviously knows that Fez's is telling the truth, just like Fez's own right arm, if the magician is omnipotent, then Fez's will definitely heal his arm as soon as possible.

Blistering!

The simplest level of water-based healing magic, after five or six minutes of preparation, a palm-sized blister rose from Fez's right hand.

"Don't run!"

The raised blister actually broke away from Fez's control and slowly floated into the air, and finally Fez grabbed the blister with difficulty, but everyone's faces showed an expression that they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, because no one was sure that they would not be hurt in the future.

Although there was an accident, the effect of the blisters made by Fez was still good, and the wounds of the four injured people had basically recovered after Fez's two blisters, but the weakened body that had been suffering from injuries and illnesses could not recover in a short period of time, and had to recuperate for a period of time to fully recover.

"Captain Sloe, can you find me a dress!" Fez, who was still naked, finally spoke.

Without hesitation, Slow agreed, no matter what the purpose of Fez's stay, but the ability to heal is absolutely important for a team of mercenaries who have been away for many years.

As a rough estimate, if Faith could be kept in the team, the team's mortality rate would probably be cut in half.

In fact, most of the dead and injured team members died or were left with lifelong disabilities because the seriously injured team members did not receive timely treatment.

But Slow also knew that this was impossible, because he didn't have any money to keep a magician, even if the other party was just an apprentice, because even the position of the worst-level apprentice apprentice was much stronger than that of a mercenary, and it was also supported by the state, so he didn't need to work as hard as himself to make money.

But just a few days of getting along can solve a lot of their problems, just like the treatment just now, it helped them save a lot of gold coins.

And the gold coins are only a small problem, the key is that this saves them at least two people to take care of the wounded, and the team has six more fighters in one trip, and the strength has increased dramatically in an instant.

The most important thing is confidence, if there is a battle now, the team members will not be as timid as before, as long as there is no death and a magician can save his life, so having a magician regardless of his combat effectiveness is of great help to the team, but the key to this qiē is still in the principle that Fez can stay.

Putting on the clothes sent by Slow, Fez immediately got into the tent prepared by Slow and fell asleep.

For Fez's actions, it can be said that Sloe's last vigilance was completely dispelled, as for that little doubt, for Sloe, everyone has his secrets, as long as it does not involve issues of principle, why inquire about the other party's *.
