Chapter 61: Sarabuto in turmoil
The burning of Vidnina and Sandru's departures did not breathe new life into this huge city, just as people don't think their lives are much better just because they have a good breakfast when they are suffering from illness or financial ruin, Sarabuto is still an undercurrent.
Nor did anyone realize that they had just taken a dose of deadly poison.
Conspiracy theorists and speculators are running around trying to muddy the waters.
The Erathians did not leave, but instead their quarters were placed in the Doge's Palace, where they enjoyed higher missionary status.
In such an environment, Lear and the others returned to the Sarabhutto Mage Guild.
"What happened? How did it hurt like this?"
Mr. Elson, who had not seen a figure from beginning to end, finally appeared, and he looked at Lear and the others, who were covered in blood, and asked with concern.
"We've encountered a bunch of bandits outside the city, and that's what happened after a hard fight, Mr. Elson, if you don't mind, can you help us find a doctor first?"
Lear gave Elson a grinning grin on Haag's shoulder, how ugly it was.
"Oh, look at my head, I'll have someone take you to the upstairs lounge, and the doctor will come at once, oh no, I'll find it myself." ”
Elson slapped his forehead with a look of annoyance and then got out of the way, as if he didn't even think about what kind of bandits could beat Lear's group like this, but after Lear and the others left, his face showed a solemn expression.
Half an hour later, while Haag and the others were already waiting impatiently in the break room, Elson walked in alone.
"Don't tell me you also work part-time in alchemy. ”
Seeing that there was no doctor behind Elson, Lear quipped.
"Actually, all the doctors have been summoned by the Doge's Palace, but as you say, I do know a little, so if you don't mind, let me help you?"
Elson smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Then come on, but I declare in advance that my life is very valuable, and if you want to cure me, I will ask you for compensation. ”
After saying that, Lear lay down on the soft couch in a large shape, looking like a scoundrel who 'you look at it'.
Elson ignored him, still walking up to him with a gentle smile, and then a white glow lit up on his hand.
I have to admit that Elson really didn't lie, he didn't just know a little, at least he had a high level in the Holy Light Healing Technique, because only Lear knew in his heart that the dark magic fluctuations that remained in their bodies were not the wounds left by bandits.
But looking at Elson, he looked like he didn't know anything, and after treating Lear, he turned to Adra, who was the most seriously injured, although this was Lear's deliberate experiment on himself first, but Elson's calm reaction still made him feel very unusual.
If it were an ordinary doctor or a priest who came, as soon as they found the residual undead magic fluctuations on their bodies, they would have called out a long time ago.
It's just that Elson doesn't say anything, and Lear pretends not to know anything.
Until the treatment of everyone was completed, with the strength of the third-level mage of Elson, the forehead was also covered with fine beads of sweat, and although Adela still did not wake up, judging from her gradually relaxed brow and gentle breathing, there was no major problem.
"Please accept our sincerest thanks, Mr. Elson, you have really helped us a lot, I will definitely explain the situation to the Mage Association this time, and I will pay you the appropriate reward, if there is anything we need to do for you, please feel free to ask. ”
Lear bowed gently to Elson.
"You're so polite Lear, I thought it was right for friends to help each other, in fact I do want to ask you for one thing, that is, if you really thank me, please keep this matter a secret, because I don't actually have the qualifications to be a priest, you know, it would really damage my reputation to talk about practicing medicine without a license, after all, whether you succeed or not, you have all become my first batch of guinea pigs. ”
Elson scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Even so, we are very grateful to you, so what can we do for you other than confidentiality, please don't tell me no, if that is the case we will all be very disappointed and guilty. ”
Lear immediately expressed understanding of Elson's concerns, but still insisted on rewarding.
"Then in the future, if I have a need, I will go to you as soon as possible, and I hope you will not refuse when the time comes. ”
"In a word, you know where we live and sincere friends are always welcome there. ”
"Okay, I'll leave a little bit beforehand, you'd better rest a little longer before leaving. ”
Elson offered his farewell, and Lear enthusiastically escorted him to the door, only to turn around and close the door to the lounge until Elson's back had completely disappeared at the end of the corridor
, with a solemn expression on his face.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Although Haag was a little silly, he was not stupid at all, and he noticed the change in Lear's expression for the first time.
"Elson's purpose for helping us may not be so simple, and he seems to want others to know that we are being harmed by necromancy more than we do. ”
Lear said coldly.
"Why?"
Hearing Lear say this, Ivo also noticed something unusual.
"I don't know, it's just speculation for now, at least so far he has no ill will towards us and healed all of us, and he shouldn't be our enemy in the short term. ”
The others nodded their heads.
But when Lear returned to the inn with Adela and the others, who had fallen asleep, the priest who passed by in the corridor made his doubts even deeper.
After returning to the inn, Valenck was startled by the scarred appearance of everyone, and hurriedly asked Lear and the others what had happened, and after getting the general situation, he also gave Lear a piece of news, that is, a man who claimed to be the captain of the guard of the Doge's Mansion had come to look for Lear once, and went back in a huff after learning that everyone was gone, but he left a guard at the door, and told Valenque that if Lear came back and asked them not to wander around, he would come back to visit.
Lear frowned when he heard this, no wonder after returning to Sarabuto, he felt that the atmosphere on the street was a little wrong, and the hurried appearance of everyone in the Mage Guild made him think that something would happen, and Elson didn't inform Derek that their team was so badly injured, and they didn't even see Derek's shadow when they came out.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
Sure enough, not long after, a man in silver armor, who looked like an officer, knocked on Lear's door.
"Is that Lord Lear?"
Behind the man stood two monks covered in brown sackcloth cloaks, standing in the doorway and asking Lear solemnly, the strange atmosphere that made Lear feel like he had gone back in time, and someone had come to check the water meter.
"It's me, who are you?"
At this time, he should cooperate with a little panic, and a slightly trembling voice of weakness.
Sure enough, Lear's performance made the other party very satisfied, and he coughed to avoid scaring him, but his power was not reduced.
"That's right, I'm Abu, the chief of the Governor's Palace, something happened on the day you left Sarabuto, a magician attacked the mission in Erathia, and now the Mage Guild and the Governor's Palace are working together to investigate this matter thoroughly, I am here to inform you not to wander around during this time, so as not to be affected by the turmoil. ”
"What?"
The news that Abu brought also shocked Lear greatly.
He really dared to attack the mission in broad daylight, but he couldn't think of anyone in the Sarabuto Mage Guild who had the courage to do this.
"It has nothing to do with me, I went out of the city to do some personal business. ”
No matter what, let's get rid of the relationship first, it's better not to participate in this kind of muddy water.
"We know this, otherwise I wouldn't have brought only two people to remind you, the murderer is only one person and has been subdued on the spot, now it's just investigating whether he acted suddenly or has a conspiracy with the same party, no one is allowed to leave Sarabuto until the truth is revealed, this is also a ban jointly issued by the Governor's Mansion and the Mage Association, I hope you can understand. ”
Judging by the undisguised smugness of the head of the guard, it must have been the first time he had spoken so arrogantly in front of a magician.
"Can I take the liberty of asking who the murderer is?"
Lear was curious about this.
"Former Vice-President of the Sarabuto Mage Association, Derek. ”
“......”
That's kind of interesting.
