Bruno didn't answer, but praised him: "I didn't expect you to be able to deal with Kuhl alone, it's really beyond my expectations, you know, that guy is a crusader of the Church who has mastered the magic of light." As he spoke, he shook his head again and again, pouting with admiration.

Ronald just smiled modestly, "yes." ”

"Oh oh, what did you just ask me about?" Bruno slapped his thigh: "Ask me what I do?" Speaking of his profession, Bruno immediately gushed proudly: "Don't look at my depressed appearance now, when it comes to medical attainments, I am different from those guys who can only mess with herbs." ”

In order to prove himself, he immediately took out the wooden box and introduced the tools inside to Ronald one by one: "This is the expansion forceps, which can open the tendons at the wound." This is a bone saw, which is used when performing amputations. This is a crochet needle, which is specially used to suture wounds. After introducing the tools in the wooden box one by one, regardless of whether Ronald understood it or not, he excitedly talked about his understanding of medical skills.

Listening to his introduction, Ronald felt a little chill in his back, and he quickly pulled away from the conversation: "Can you give me some water first?"

"Oh oh oh, I beg your pardon. I'm a little excited when I talk about it. Bruno hurriedly handed him the water bladder: "Drink slowly, be careful to pull the wound." ”

After watching Ronald plug the water cap, he spoke, "What's your name, young man?"

"Ronald. ”

"Ronald, it's amazing that you're a magic swordsman. He looked admiring: "Even in São Paulo, I don't know many warriors who can use magic skills. His face suddenly sank again: "Of course, those guys in the church don't count. ”

Ronald wiped his dry lips, "What church?"

Bruno was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses: "Oh, you're from Falken, right?" After seeing Ronald nodding, his face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny again: "Thank God, you are a Falken, and I plan to go to Falken to hide for a few years." ”

He continued: "You know, the Turings are at the border, and they have been messing with you falken. The reason is very simple, the power of the church is gradually expanding, and the Turing people who are in power in the church have been eyeing the royal power of Falken, trying to infiltrate the power of the church. ”

After talking about the situation between the nearby kingdoms, and seeing that Ronald was a little absent-minded, Bruno stopped the topic. He took off his felt hat and leaned down seriously: "I'm sorry to involve you in that right and wrong, please understand my eagerness to escape." ”

Ronald couldn't laugh or cry.

Seeing Ronald's expression, Bruno laughed: "Don't cry and lose your face, after this battle, now we don't know each other, are you right." Without waiting for Ronald to speak, he took it upon himself: "Besides, I also saved your life." Of course, I still owe you a favor. Seeing that Ronald was still lying there quietly, Bruno changed the subject with interest: "Tell me about you, Ro, why did you come here alone?"

He was silent for a while: "I plan to improve myself through experience." ”

Bruno nodded: "I see. But I think it's better to go to the army or the academy with your qualifications. ”

When this topic is mentioned, Ronald's interest comes: "Why?"

Bruno spread his hands: "It's very simple, you can get systematic teaching there, which is much better than blindly adventuring, and it is also safe." He looked at this young man who was still a little immature seriously: "Really, as long as you train hard in the army or academy for a few years, you can definitely become a strong man." Sensing that the young man was a little interested, he continued: "Your current strength, as long as you find a better lord, I believe that you can obtain the title of knight in a year and a half." ”

Ronald's eyes darkened: "I don't have that much time to waste. ”

"Oh?" Bruno raised his eyebrows, looking interested, "Tell me about it?"

Seeing his sincere eyes, combined with the words he had just said, Ronald thought about it for a moment and felt that it was nothing to say. So, he briefly explained the reason why he came out to take the risk.

After listening, Bruno thought seriously for a while. Finally, he nodded: "I see, you want to assassinate the Turing officer." He continued: "The Turing man's royal flag is the ornament of the bird of paradise. Then, the tulip symbol you are talking about should be the family crest of a nobleman in their kingdom, and with a little inquiry, you should be able to know who led the team that day. ”

Hearing this useful information, Ronald's eyes lit up: "Is that so?" After seeing Bruno nod, the troubles in his heart eased a lot.

Seeing that Ronald's face was a little better, Bruno made a suggestion: "Since you want to use this method to quickly improve your strength, I have a place to introduce to you." However, there are a lot of magical beasts there, and they are also very dangerous. ”

Ronald's eyes were full of determination, and he raised his tone: "That's what I'm here for." ”

"Let's recuperate for a few days. With a wave of his hand, Bruno put on his felt hat and walked briskly towards the cave: "I'll go find something to eat nearby." ”

Ronald closed his eyes quietly, and began to get used to the loss of his surname again. He felt that this ethereal state of mind seemed to be able to slowly increase the upper limit of his magic power. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, and it is easy for the enemy to seize the opportunity to sneak attack.

I don't know how long it took, but a brisk footstep woke him up. He looked away, it turned out to be Bruno who had returned, and Ronald saw that he was carrying a hare that had been disposed of in his hand.

"Don't get up, I'll make a fire. ”

After Bruno laid down the hare, he went out to find some dry wood. Soon, the bonfire was lit. Bruno placed the hare on a sharpened branch and placed it in the fire to roast patiently. It didn't take long for a scent to waft into Ronald's nose, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Haha. ”

Catching a glimpse of Ronald's actions, Bruno smirked, he cut off the rabbit's leg with a knife and reached out to hand it to Ronald: "Taste it." ”

Ronald moved down, half-leaned against the mountain wall, and took the rabbit's legs. He chewed it gently, and the half-burnt aftertaste mixed with fat oil made him appetite: "It tastes good." ”

"Haha, one more piece. Bruno smiled and cut off another rabbit leg.

Ronald was not polite, he thanked him, and took the rabbit leg and nibbled on it with relish. Bruno split the rest of the rabbit meat in half and handed Ronald another piece, and he ate it as well.

Night soon fell into the forest.

Bruno nodded at Ronald and sat down near the entrance to the cave to take up his duties as a guard.

After three days of recuperation, Ronald felt much better. The moment he removed the gauze, he looked at the wound on his abdomen that had begun to scar, and thanked Bruno from the bottom of his heart: "I really didn't expect your medical skills to be so powerful! If this injury was placed in the village, it would have to lie down for at least a month or two." ”

"You're welcome. ”

Ronald moved his body, feeling still a little weak, but he had no intention of continuing to cultivate: "Let's go." ”

"Really going?" After seeing Ronald's affirmative eyes, Bruno shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the cave with the wooden box first: "Then let's go." ”

After packing his luggage, Ronald followed Bruno.

Probably because he hadn't spoken to anyone for too long, Bruno caught Ronald talking at every opportunity, and could talk about anything no matter what the world was. Most of the time, though, it's him talking, and Ronald is listening. Through these days of communication, the two have become companions.

Although Ronald still has some doubts in his heart, under Bruno's enthusiasm, he gradually opened his mind. And he also figured out the reason why Bruno was hunted down.

It turned out that Bruno, who is now Chinese New Year's Eve three years old, was born into a well-to-do merchant family in the city-state of São Paulo. His father had intended for him to succeed him, but he became obsessed with medicine and began to study medicine. However, his research was too radical, which led to his father disowning him, and eventually he was condemned by the church as a heretic and sentenced to be burned at the stake.

Speaking of this, Bruno spread his hands helplessly: "It's good that a friend of mine got the news in advance, otherwise ......"

Ronald frowned slightly, and continued: "So you fled here?"

"Well, I'm going to come here to buy some medicinal herbs from the Pygmy tribe first, and then go to my friend. He paused: "My friend lives near Fort Orleans in Falken. ”

Ronald raised his eyebrows, a little curious: "Pygmies, what kind of medicinal herbs are you going to come here to buy?"

"The herb is called poppy, which is forbidden in São Paulo and cannot be bought, and one of my studies needs it. The pygmies, on the other hand, are a branch of the dwarven race. He shrugged: "Walk for another five or six days, and you'll see what they look like." ”

Ronald nodded, no further questioning.

The two were chatting as they walked, and suddenly, Bruno reached out to stop Ronald.

Ronald's heart tightened, and he immediately drew his sword and prepared for defense. To his dismay, Bruno simply rushed excitedly to the bottom of a pile of pine leaves next to a pine tree in which a nest of mushrooms grew.

Is it necessary to exaggerate it just for the sake of mushrooms......

He whispered to himself, but soon he realized that he had guessed wrong. He saw that Bruno's target was not the nest of mushrooms at all, and he carefully stirred the pile of pine leaves, picked a small red grass from the side of the mushroom, and followed him to open the wooden box, and carefully packed the grass into a glassware.

Retracting the iron sword, Ronald watched his actions with great interest, and when he was done, he couldn't help but ask him, "Is this a medicinal herb?"

Bruno looked very excited: "That's right! This is called fire mushroom grass, and it grows with mushrooms." ”

He then explained to Ronald what the herb was used for. Ronald didn't listen much at first, but when he heard that it was worth fifty gold coins, he couldn't help but pout, wondering if he should also learn a little herbalism from this blonde.

Bruno saw his careful thoughts, and he couldn't help but smile and quip: "It's better to concentrate on practicing your sword skills." ”

Ronald suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he said this, and he had to smile awkwardly.

After walking for a while, Bruno reached out again to stop Ronald: "Listen!"

Buzz.

The high-frequency vibrating of their wings came from the direction of their right.

"Be careful, it could be a poisonous fly, hopefully not too much. ”

Hearing his reminder, Ronald quickly drew his sword and prepared for defense.

Bruno's empty left hand also flashed a sharp knife, and he glanced at Ronald: "Didn't you say that you plan to improve yourself by taking risks, then this time it's up to you." ”

Ronald's answer was crisp and neat: "Up!"
