Takizawa sat on horseback and looked back from time to time, for fear that the strange monster just now would reappear.

He knew that it was no ordinary beast, and from its dark blue eyes and poisonous claws, it was clear that the black monster was anything but simple.

However, at this time, he didn't have much energy to think about it anymore. He just wanted to get out of here with the convoy as quickly as possible and wait until it was safe to do so.

It's just that Takizawa can feel that the scar on his chest is getting worse, and the toxins that were originally only concentrated in the wound have now begun to spread around.

But there is nothing he can do about it, so he can only find a village or town as soon as possible, and then find an alchemist to heal him.

Takizawa had always wanted to persevere, but the speed of the toxin's spread had far exceeded his expectations, and he only felt dizzy and nauseous for a while, and it didn't take long for his eyes to go black and faint.

There was a sound of "bang", and everyone heard the sound, only to see that Takizawa had already fallen off the horse and was lying on the ground.

The knights immediately stopped, and one of Takizawa's cronies hurriedly ran over to check on him.

When the knight named Sam saw Takizawa's blackened face, he couldn't help but say anxiously, "The captain is poisoned!" Hurry up and get the antidote! ”

The "antidote" he refers to is an ordinary antidote prepared by the warrior regiment and the knights in case of accidental poisoning during the march.

In other words, this antidote can cure some very common toxins, such as poisonous snakes and spiders that are not very toxic. It can also inhibit the continued spread of toxins.

Soon, a knight brought in to understand the poison. Sam hurriedly sprinkled the antidote powder on Takizawa's wound. I only heard the sound of "bang", and the medicine powder instantly fused with the black blood, and a fine foam bubbled.

But I heard Arak say: "This ordinary antidote can only temporarily slow down the expansion of toxins, and the effect is not obvious. ”

Sam said with some irritation, "What can I do then?" We don't have a great alchemist here! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Arak. But soon, most people shook their heads helplessly, after all, he was only an eleven-year-old child!

Arak took a deep breath and said, "I'm willing to try it!" ”

Captain Sam hesitated and looked at the other companions.

At that moment, Hasa said, "Let's not waste any more time, let's get out of here!" ”

When Sam heard this, he was furious, and came to Hazah's side in three great strides, pressed him to the chariot, and roared:

"If it weren't for escorting you to the Imperial Capital, how could our team have lost two knights? Captain, how could he be poisoned? ”

Hazah was pressed to the planks of the carriage and cried out in fear, "You can't do this, I'm a magician of the Empire!" ”

Sam sneered: "Hmph, a magician who died halfway before he grows, how can the empire care?" ”

Frightened by Sam like this, Hazah immediately panicked, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Please don't kill me, don't kill me!" There was already a cry in his voice.

At this time, Arak urged: "It's better to save people quickly, it's really too late to be too late!" ”

Sam let go of Lawson, then walked back to Takizawa and asked Arak, "What are we going to do now?" ”

Although it was the first time for Arak to face such an urgent situation, he was not flustered at all.

"You take off all his armor, and I'm going to check on the spread of the toxin."

Soon, the knights took off all of Wren's steel armor.

At this time, everyone realized that the blood vessels near Takizawa's wound had completely turned black, and the toxin was about to spread to his neck.

Arak pulled a sharp knife out of his pocket and reached for Takizawa's chest.

"What are you going to do!" Sam questioned in his tone, grabbing Arak's knife-holding hand.

"The blood near the wound has been completely eroded by the toxin, and it must be drained as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the toxin will spread to the whole body with the help of blood flow, and then it will really be hopeless! Arak said unhurriedly.

Sam slowly let go of his mouth and watched as Arak sliced a piece of skin next to Takizawa's wound with a knife. Black blood flowed out at once, almost blackening his chest.

Seeing that the black blood was almost gone, Arak sprinkled some mysterious powder on the cut wound, and the wound began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sam didn't expect such an eleven-year-old boy to be able to deal with everything in front of him so calmly, as if this was not the first time he had faced the current situation.

Ace was even more dumbfounded, and Arak was too composed to look like his peers at all.

At the same time, Ace felt a little guilty in his heart, he couldn't become a magician in any of the five departments, and he couldn't save people calmly like Arak, how should he grow?

If he was already a magician, wouldn't Captain Takizawa be injured, and wouldn't the two knights who disappeared into the woods not die?

After a long time, Arak finally helped Takizawa bandage the wound, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"Well, the toxin is under control for the time being. However, we still have to find a real alchemist as soon as possible, so that he can completely remove the toxin. ”

Sam let out a long breath, "Arak, thank you so much. If the captain really is...", as if he felt that his assumption was unlucky, Jim did not continue.

And just like that, the convoy arrived in a slightly dilapidated town before dawn.

Luckily, though, there happened to be an elderly mid-level alchemist in the town.

He helped Takizawa treat his wounds and cleanse him of the remaining toxins in Takizawa's body with medicine.

"Obviously, someone had pre-treated the wound before this, and I wonder who that person is?" The old alchemist asked Jim.

Sam smiled and said, "It's a little boy named Arak, who is only eleven years old this year.

It's just that he's about to go to the imperial capital to learn fire magic, and he'll become a great magician in the future! ”

When the alchemist heard that it was an eleven-year-old child, he was very surprised and excited, and wanted to take the child as an apprentice.

But when he heard that the boy was about to become a magician, he could only express his pity in frustration.

After all, in the Mandala Empire, magicians, warriors, and paladins are the most respected professions.

An alchemist is nothing at all in front of these three professions. Thinking about it, the boy named Arak would not choose to stay.

Because Takizawa's injury needed further recuperation, the team decided to stay in the town for two days.

During these two days, Ace did not let up at all, he has been studying the mysterious code left by his mother and learning a new spell.

It's just that he doesn't understand the effect of the three spells he's learned so far.

The last time I saved Arak, I recited a spell because the situation was urgent, and I subconsciously cast a spell that I didn't understand.

In this regard, Ace decided to find an opportunity to test the effect of the three magic spells he had learned so far.
