Section 3 Saving Isodar
Rex rolled over, sat up quickly from the couch, and picked up the Nightingale Blade on the desk and held it in his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Cataria also woke up from her sleep, like a drunken man who had been drunk, shook her body and slowly sat up, her eyes half-open and half-closed, and complained, "Is it a maid? Hell, it's rude to knock so loudly!" she rubbed her hazy eyes with the back of her webbed hand.
Rex pursed his lips and put his index finger to his lips to warn her not to speak. Cataria woke up from her lax state and nervously asked, "What happened?"
Rex made a low gesture to signal her to remain silent. She immediately shut up and sat quietly on the bed. Rex glanced at Babas again, who understood, nodded, cautiously approached the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who is outside?"
There was another violent knock on the door, and after a few seconds there was a sudden silence. They stayed in the room for a while, still hearing no response. Standing behind the door, Babas slowly pulled the deadbolt and carefully opened the wooden door, when he suddenly smelled a smell of blood, and he wrinkled his nostrils to find the source of the smell, and saw Isodar, covered in blood, crawling on the ground like a worm and trembling slightly.
"It's her, Tavern owner Issodar!" Barbas shouted.
Rex also spotted Isodal on the ground and shouted, "Carry her in." ”
After saying that, he spread out the quilt on the wooden bed as quickly as he could, and cleaned it up. Barbas leaned out, picked up Isodal from the floor, and led her into the room, where she lay down on the wooden bed.
"Miss Yi, what's going on with her?" Cataria looked uneasy, her eyes wandering over the faces of Isordal, Rex, and Babas, wondering what was going on. Issodar's experience evokes her fear of death.
Both of them did not answer her question, and were busy doing what they could. Rex walked over to the bed and began to examine her full body, finding that her eyes were glazed and her breath was weak. Rex pressed his ear to her chest, trying to listen to her heartbeat. At that moment, a stream of blood poured out of her nostrils and slightly open mouth, pouring into her neck like a stream, and Rex guessed that she was not doing well.
Babas had already fetched water from a wooden barrel, and Cataria had slowly calmed down from her fear, bringing clean cotton from her closet to participate in the intense rescue operation.
Rex cut through her blood-soaked clothes with a knife and examined her injuries closely. Two wounds were found on the abdomen, and the internal organs could be clearly seen. Although not fatal, it is difficult to care for.
The most difficult wound was a piercing of her throat, which made it extremely difficult for her to breathe. Now she's so angry that she could die at any moment. Rex first washed the blood on her neck with a cotton cloth, then applied a hemostatic ointment to the surface of the wound and bandaged it with cotton cloth to prevent her from losing her life due to excessive blood loss.
The wounds on her body were then treated to stop the bleeding, and strips of cotton cloth wrapped almost all of her body until she lay on the bed like a ghoul. Rex finished the work, sweating profusely.
Barbas and Cataria looked nervously at him, and Cataria asked cautiously, "She's not going to die, is she?"
"I don't know how long she can hold out. Barbas said.
Rex wiped the sweat from her forehead, "The bleeding has stopped, and her condition is stable at the moment, but whether she can survive tonight depends on whether her vitality is tenacious." ”
"We can pray for her. Barbas said.
"Yes, that's all we can do," Cataria said.
"Very well, if that will make her recover. Rex said, "But I don't want to do that." ”
"So what else can we do?" said Babas, in a restless tone.
"Her wounds are too deep to wake up for the time being. Wait and see!"
"Alright!" he said in a slightly disappointed voice, and Barbas stared blankly at the woman on the bed.
"I'm curious as to why she's hurt so badly? and why there's a fight in the tavern and we don't hear anything!" said Rex thoughtfully.
"Suspicious indeed. Cataria said, "A few hours ago, it was peaceful and full of joy. And now it is.... ”
Breaking free from her sadness, Barbas shrugged and said, "Obviously, only she can answer our questions." ”
"Well, you two are here to watch over her, and I'll go outside and see what's going on in the tavern. Rex said.
"Hmm!" Cataria clasped her hands and clasped them to her chest.
"No problem, we'll leave it to you. Babas nodded and said to him.
Rex pushed open the door and walked out quickly. He walked through the long hallway back to the lobby of the tavern. The tables and chairs in the hall had been destroyed, the wreckage was in disarray, and the wine and food stored behind the counters had been trampled into a puddle of mud. On the ground, three tiger warriors lay in pools of blood, their chests pierced by their swords, blood gushing out, and five armored soldiers lying on the ground at the tavern's door, their heads or arms cut off and thrown aside. The maid Mogna was also killed and climbed the stairs up the second floor.
Rex searched the halls and found nothing alive except for a large number of dead bodies. Passing through the hall and up the stairs he reached the second floor, where he found a number of foreign merchants stabbed to death in their beds, and from their frightened expressions, they could be seen to have been killed by a surprise attack without any defense. Rex checked every room and found not a single survivor.
Faced with this sudden killing, Rex scratched his head and couldn't figure out who did it. Finding nothing, he walked around the tavern and returned to their room. Seeing Babas kneeling in front of the bed, carefully studying Issodar's face, his expression was melancholy and sad. Cataria stood beside him, looking at the two of them with a lonely expression. She wanted to comfort Babas, but she didn't know how to speak, so she just stood beside him, staring blankly at Babas.
"Do you think she'll make it?" asked Barbas.
"I don't know, Mr. Barbas," Cataria replied in a childish voice, "but Rex said she's going to be fine, right, I take his word for it!"
Babas glanced at her, smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm so stupid, how could I ask the child for a guarantee." ”
"It's okay, Miss Yi is a good person, and I don't want her to die. Cataria said.
"How is she?" Rex asked as he walked into the room.
"I'm sorry. Barbas stood up and shook his head bitterly, "I watched her for a long time and didn't find any changes, I think she is hopeless." ”
"Well, we've done our best. For her sake, let's take her out of town first, it's not safe here, maybe the murderers will come back. Rex said.
"Rex, you're back!" Cataria said, "have you made any new discoveries?"
Rex shook his head.
"Can you tell who did all this?" asked Barbas.
Rex sighed, "I checked the entire tavern, and there wasn't a single survivor except us, except for her. All the people in the tavern were killed, and I don't think it was something that some Assassin or Warrior could do, and it might have something to do with the Tiger General. ”
"General, you say, the man who gave the order during the day?"
"Yes"
"Why? I don't understand!"
Rex made an impotent expression, "I'm just guessing. ”
"So, when are we going to act?" asked Barbas.
"The map of the tavern is clear, and we'll go now. Black Jewel, you take the baggage immediately, we're going to get out of here. Rex said.
"Okay. Cataria turned and went to pack her backpack.
"If you walk with her on your back, you might tear those wounds. Pabas worriedly said, "We're going to find a safe way to get her out again; ”
"Don't worry, let me think. Rexto walked up and down the room with his chin on.
"Ahem," there was a violent cough on the bed. Blood splattered from Isodall's mouth and spilled onto the clothes that covered her.
When the three of them heard this, they hurried over and gathered around the bed, observing Isodal's situation. She struggled to open her eyes, opened her mouth, and said in an extremely weak voice, "Please help me, for the sun goddess's sake, save me." Then, he fell into a coma again.
"There is still salvation, there is salvation, she is not dead!" said Barbas happily, "Rex, you saw it!"
"She's not doing well, we have to be mentally prepared. If she really dies, we'll bury her. Rex said, "If we're lucky, and she's tenacious enough, how about we take her out of town and treat her until she's fully recovered?"
"Understand, you say, what are we going to do next. "Babas is ready.
Cataria had already carried her baggage, looking at Rex for his instructions.
"We'll have to make a stretcher and carry her out," said Rex, "and we can't leave the main gate at this point, and I suspect the guards are ready to arrest her, and we can't throw them in our arms." ”
"Okay, just do as you say, let's hurry. Barbas said.
Half an hour later, they fled from the city's underground passages to the City of Thorns. Under the starry sky, there were dim mountains, and the bright moonlight hung in the sky, illuminating the road under your feet a little clearer.
The two walked ahead with Isodal on their backs, and Cataria followed them with his baggage. They left the City of Thorns along the city walls and walked for a while on the mountain path, making sure that their surroundings were safe before stopping to rest. At this time, Barbas found a lonely log cabin in the woods.
The three of them were very happy, and carried Isodar straight to the cabin. Where they planned to stay now, and then decided to go somewhere else to treat Isodal after dawn. Without hesitation, Rex pushed open the door to the hut, and they walked quickly inside.
In the dark, after they had placed the wounded, all three of them collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, they were too sleepy. Drowsiness completely broke their nerves and defeated their will. I didn't care if the room was safe, so I fell to the ground and fell asleep.
A cold wind blew and woke Rex, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the broken door that had not been closed tightly, and his heart could not help but pound. Silently, he reached for the sword at his waist.
"You're awake!" a gruff voice came from behind. Rex quickly rolled over and sat up, only to see a huge black wolf standing next to Isodar, his green eyes full of pity. It silently looked at Isodal on the stretcher.
"Oh, it's you. How did you regain the form of a beast, are you okay. Rex asked.
"I'll feel more at ease that way. She seems to be recovering, you can take a look. Barbas said.
Rex approached the stretcher, saw her chest rise and fall gently, and was sure that her life was not in danger, so he happily said, "We succeeded, we saved her life." ”
"It looks like so. Barbas said happily.
"Where's Cataria?" asked Rex.
"I think she's still asleep. Barbas looked across the room, and Rex turned to see Cataria curled up on her side on the floor, her tail wrapping her entire body and a sweet smile on her scaly cheeks.
