Chapter 247: Murderer? Me too
The woman had short men's hair and behaved like a soldier, and if you didn't look at it seriously, you thought she was a man.
"Doctor, are you sure this guy can really be saved? I've never seen a ...... who can be revived by the Red Death."
As the boat approached the lake, the woman poked her spear into the water, and when she was sure that the water was shallow, she turned over and stepped on the water, and asked Anson as she pulled the boat toward the shore.
"He's different...... He had been poisoned by a strange poison that seemed to neutralize the Red Death in him, and even prevented his Red Death from being passed on to anyone elseβthe priest who had touched his blood in the temple and was not at all worried about the Red Death! If you can determine what kind of poison is in him, it is equivalent to finding a cure for the Red Death! Julia, do me a favor, I can't drag him ......"
Anson looked tired, and he struggled to drag the unconscious man off the boat, but only rocked the boat a few times, and the man didn't drag it at all......
"Maybe your medical skills are really good...... But you really don't deserve to go out alone, young doctor......"
The girl, who was called Julia, shook her head with some disdain, reached out and dragged the unconscious man, and carried it on her shoulders with all her might, and then two strode ashore and lowered the man to the ground.
"I didn't go out alone, didn't I hire you...... I'm just overestimating the guts of your peers and underestimating the madness of the Serpent Cult...... How can they turn people into snake-like monsters? β
Anson sighed and shook his head, scrambled his medical kit, got out of the rickety boat, walked over to Julia and sat down and began to gasp for air.
"I didn't expect those bastards to be so cowardly...... Doctor, with your skills, you dare to take people away from that strange temple...... I really admire you......"
Julia twisted her waist and sighed as she looked at Anson.
"I am a Knight of the Radiant Cross, fearless where the light shines...... How can one be afraid of a few snakeskin corpses that have lost their souls? β
Anson stood up on his knees and looked back at the lake, "They don't seem to have caught up...... Let's go......"
"Aren't you afraid? β¦β¦β
Julia rolled her eyes, but she didn't waste time, carrying the unconscious man and walking forward with a spear.
Obviously, along the way, this woman named Julia is the main force of the work.
"As an employee, it seems that you shouldn't mock your employer......"
Anson saw Julia staggering and reached out to help.
"Hey! I'm just trying to find a little job as an escort for medical staff! I didn't expect that evil thing to run into here! β
Julia was obviously a little dissatisfied with the job: "Didn't you say before you left that you just came out to find some medicinal herbs?" The little money you pay is not the price of your life! β
"That's right...... This guy is a medicinal herb! Although it is true that the process of finding medicinal herbs is a bit dangerous...... But there is a proverb that you have heard of - good medicine always grows on a cliff......"
Anson seems to have been with the lord for too long, and has learned how to squeeze employees, and probably learned a lot of 'language arts' from Sarah, explaining them one by one.
"But your herbs are too heavy...... You've got to add money! β
Julia gritted her teeth and said, of course it is not easy to walk with an adult man on her shoulders, she is indeed very tired.
"Of course...... When you see Lord Leon, you can have as much money as you want...... But he had to make it back alive first...... Come on! Back at Boshi City, you'll make a fortune! β
Anson followed the example of the lord and wrote blank checks, and by the way, he also inspired the staff......
The two of them walked all the way, gradually coming to the edge of a swamp.
There are always a lot of swamps and wetlands on the edge of the big lake, and they are probably the kind of silt that people sink into as soon as they enter.
The two of them looked at the swamp in front of them a little dumbfounded - it was already evening, and the light was not too good, and everyone knew that they could not easily enter the swamp at this time.
ββ¦β¦ Wait, doctor, I feel like we're going in the wrong direction...... Why is the sunset ahead of us? We seem to be heading west? β
Install the latest version. γ
Julia looked left and right and looked around, and suddenly turned around in a daze: "Bozhi City seems to be in the southeast direction, right?" β
"Huh? This...... Don't you know the way? β
Anson froze, it was clear that the young doctor had no experience in the wilderness, and he had just lost his sense of direction after paddling on the wide lake for so long and walking in the wilderness with no references......
This young man, who was able to get on the wrong ship in the port of Bozhi City, of course, had an obvious shortcoming - he could easily get lost......
"I told you I just came here from Siyuan City...... I'm not familiar with this area, how can I know the way?! β
Julia put the man on her shoulders again, she was obviously not in a good mood at the moment, but her movements were still gentle, and it seemed that she didn't want to toss the unconscious patient out of anything.
Obviously, although Julia is not angry and behaves like a man, she is a kind-hearted girl.
Anson looked around a little dazedly, and sighed, "If only Risa Diran were here, he would always find his way...... Why can't I have the talent of the Noldor Elves who can find their way by just looking at them? β
"Noldor elves? Ha...... People are old monsters that can live for thousands of years, and if you live for a few hundred years, you can easily find your way anywhere......"
Julia seems to be a very straightforward talker, and her mouth basically doesn't stop, but she has indeed been diligent in her work.
"I'm not an old monster...... Anson, I've finally found you, and I've almost dug three feet into the ground near the village of Breitwen in order to find you......"
A Qingyue voice sounded.
Whoever comes is whom, it is none other than Risadillan.
Risadilan was searching along the shore of the lake with a few Noldor rangers, and the elves had good ears, and he heard Anson's voice across the hills of the lake without seeing anyone - fortunately, Anson and Julia were talking all the way.
"Risa Dilan! Hey...... Looks like we're doing the right thing......"
Anson waved his hands excitedly, he had already seen the figure of Risardiran riding a horse.
Anson...... Maybe you're doing the right thing...... Look behind you! β
Risardiran hastened behind Anson and drew his sword: "Your luck has always been good......
Probably Risa Dilan was also very happy to find Anson, he wouldn't talk so much to Anson on weekdays.
The sword light in the elven slayer's hand fell, and a humanoid monster with a dark green body was beheaded by the Noldor elf.
It was a devoured one, approaching Anson silentlyβtheir dark green snakeskin-like skin that was hard to spot near the swamp.
"They're chasing us all the time...... Good thing you're here......"
Anson glanced behind him a few times, his eyebrows suddenly drooped, and he laughed dryly: "Risa Dilan, why are you here?" β
"Your Excellency didn't find you in the village of Breitbun, so let's send most of the cavalry out......"
Risa Dilan shook his head: "We'd better get out of here quickly, these monsters are very inconspicuous near the swamp...... Are they chasing you? β
Julia looked up at Risadillan, who seemed to be handsome by the handsome Noldor Elf, and her tone of voice became softer: "Yes, we were chased here by that kind of monster...... Where are we headed? Is it to go through the swamp? β
"No, follow me all the way south...... Wait a minute...... Looks like we're going to have to kill it now......"
Risadilan looked at Julia, and then saw more swaying figures from behind Julia.
It's all devoured.
"They're probably chasing them all the way from the lake...... They...... Can you dive? β
Julia was visibly aware of the fact that these devoured people did not need to breathe.
Risa Dilan immediately turned over and dismounted: "You get on your horse and get out of here!" I'm blocking them! β
He then threw the reins in front of Anson and rushed behind Julia with his sword, and several of the Noldor rangers he had with him rushed out with him.
The Noldor Elves have always been reliable when it comes to encountering enemies.
Anson obediently got on the horse, but still did not forget his own mission: "Julia, bring that man up!" Hurry up ......"
Julia turned her head to look at Risadiran, who had already begun to slash, and with all her strength lifted the unconscious man across Anson's saddle, and then slapped the horse's ass hard.
The horses galloped south, and Anson was taken away by the horses before he could say 'sigh'.
"I wish you could be cured of the Red Death! Remember to add money to me! β
Julia muttered a few words to Anson's back, then raised her spear and ran behind Risadilan.
β¦β¦
The fate between people is wonderful.
Two people of different races, personalities, identities, and even genders often form friendships that ordinary people may not be able to conclude for decades in a battle that they may not be able to form in a short ten-minute battle.
This is the case with Risardiran and Julia.
One is a Noldor nobleman, a male elf who looks like a beautiful woman, with long hair like a woman's shawl, usually taciturn, and has been a killer for many years.
The other, on the other hand, was a human civilian, a short-haired woman who dressed herself like a man, and was also very neutral-looking, a chatter on weekdays, and was working part-time as a guard.
These two men are opposites in every way......
But they are unusually in tune with each other in battle.
Enemies that Rissadillan can't reach with a sword and shield can always be resisted by Julia with a spear in advance, and Rissadillan can easily kill them when he returns.
And Julia, who is inconvenient to defend with a spear, can always get timely help from Risadiran when she uses a spear.
They were fighting together for the first time, or even meeting for the first time, but they worked together like old friends who had been together for many years.
In terms of martial arts, Julia's skills are obviously not comparable to any of the Noldor Rangers, but when it comes to the cooperation with Risardhiran, the two are seamless......
"Where did you learn these skills? I've never worked so well with humans......"
In this battle, Sadilan was clearly fighting well, and after ten minutes he was able to deal with the devoured ones.
The indifferent elf even took the initiative to talk to a human, and it was a human woman he didn't usually look at all - Risa Dilan was usually very indifferent to Sarah and the others, he only obeyed Leon's orders, and even Amy didn't pay much attention to him.
Wendy was able to communicate with him amicably, but that was because they were both Noldor nobles.
Aside from the lord, the only human who can be called a friend to him is Eric, presumably because Risadilan has always apologized for accidentally injuring Eric.
"My father taught ...... But I'm not sure I should still call him my father now......"
Julia sat down on the ground with her spear in her hand and looked at Risadiran's side face: "I'm a murderer...... Wanted by the Bacchus Empire. β
"Oh? Ha...... I'm also a murderer...... And I'm also wanted by the Bacchus Empire......"
Risa Dilan turned her face strangely.
"Really?"
"Really ......"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"The people I killed by mistake...... It's my brother. β
After laughing for a while, Julia muttered.
ββ¦β¦ This...... I also accidentally killed my brother, my cousin. β
The expression on Risardiran's face was even more bizarre, he was exiled by the Noldor tribe before because he accidentally killed Yin Si Landil's nephew in a duel, that was indeed his cousin, Risa Dilan himself was actually Yin Slandiel's nephew, and the Noldor nobles of the same race were relatives of each other.
The two were silent for a while, and Risa Dilan sat down beside Julia.
Julia stared at the water in the swamp beneath her feet, looking at the reflection of her short hair, a little distracted.
She dresses up as a man, but she doesn't naturally like this kind of neutral dress - this kind of neutral culture is not popular in Pande Continent.
Julia is just using this way to allow herself to often see her brother in the mirror or in the reflection on the water.
She had a twin brother named Julius who looked exactly like her.
Julia's father was a guard for a nobleman in Siyuan City, and the siblings were trained by their father to use a variety of weapons and combat skills from an early age.
She is so good at cooperating with people, and it is also because she and her brother have been trained for a long time to join forces to fight the enemy.
But one day, Julia discovers that her father and brother are not protecting a nobleman, but a serpent priestess.
This sudden discovery turned her beautiful family upside down.
Julia confronts her father and brother with everything she sees, but her brother Julius silences her and threatens to kill her.
The siblings fought, and Julia accidentally killed her twin brother during the fight.
Subsequently, she was wanted for murder, and her father also regarded her as an enemy......
Shortly after this incident, the city of Siyuan was besieged by rebels, and the pursuers who had been chasing Julia were also recalled by Emperor Marius, so Julia escaped being wanted, but also lost her home.
She had no choice but to wander around, to find her future elsewhere.
"My allegiance lord helped me to complete my redemption...... Maybe you can ...... too."
Risa Dilan said softly.
"Maybe, but I don't want redemption......"
Julia also said softly, "I just want to kill the Snake Worshippers ......."
"Then you should come with me to meet the lord, who can even help the hostile countries in order to deal with the snake cult."
Risadilan nodded at Julia.
"You are a valiant warrior...... Anson, the doctor, also seemed brave in the face of the Serpent Cult...... May your lords do the same. β
Julia stood up with her spear and looked at the bow and arrows that Risardylan was carrying: "Actually, I prefer to use a bow and crossbow, maybe you too?" β
Risadillan held out his hand to Julia: "That's right, so am I. β
