Chapter 40: The Return
What woke Edward from his coma was Garcia's crying.
"Does this guy cry? When I was a child, I was trampled on the ground by a group of older children in the warrior training camp, and insulted him for being a shame for the Richard family, and I never saw him shed a single tear."
Edward, who had just woken up, was still confused and couldn't remember what had happened. The first thing I saw when I sat up was a forest of crops, most of which were swaying like a typhoon.
"What's the matter with all these huge wheat and corn?"
"Garcia, what's ......" Edward turned his head and saw Garcia kneeling beside the motionless Kanna and crying bitterly. Frightened, he crawled to Kanna's side and reached out to reach for Kanna's neck. Luckily, it's faint, but there's still a pulse. But the wounds that were shot by the crossbow arrows slowly spilled green blood, which was very bad.
"Julia! Come and save Canna! Edward shouted as he looked around for Julia.
"It's all like this, where has Julia gone?"
Edward stood up and saw that the shield he had dropped was red with blood. And on the ground around it, there were also many irregular blood stains. Edward's gaze followed the bloodstains one by one for clues, and suddenly his gaze was glazed.
Along with bloodstains, the broken corpses were scattered all around. Judging by the fragments of clothing left on the corpse, Edward quickly understood that this was Julia.
His feet slumped and Edward nearly fell to the ground. After being stunned for a few seconds, he took out his magic bag without saying a word, and put the corpses of Julia around him into the bag piece by piece. And pack up the relics that fell on the ground, the Elven Expedition Dimensional Bag and the Scepter. He was unusually careful to probe and not let go of any corner of the ground. When he couldn't find anything to pick up, Edward whispered to Garcia, "Garcia, let's go." Take them home. ”
Edward used his sword to cut a path through the forest of crops, followed by Garcia with Kanna in both hands. At the point where he came by, the little boy was long gone. It's only been a few hours at most, and it's far from Kanna and the boy's one-day appointment. Presumably, the boy was in league with the Assassins. yes, even if the kid escapes from the goblins, won't the goblins chase after them? He cried so loudly that the goblins chasing him wouldn't be found? At that time, when I saw that it was a child, everyone's compassion was overflowing, and no one thought about it.
Garcia gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Damn! ”
Edward did not say anything, and continued to walk silently. He felt like a part of his life had been left there forever, behind the forest of huge crops.
Soon the two of them walked out of the forest and returned to the side of the road. Horses and carts are there.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a lone carriage drove in the direction of the setting sun. The wind was blowing, and the air was filled with coolness.
Kanna lay in the middle of the carriage, cold and breathless. Garcia pulled out several blankets from his bag and placed them over Canna, carefully avoiding the bolts stuck in her body.
"Kanna's appearance shouldn't be able to survive returning to China. It may not be able to support the knight kingdom. Edward's appearance is also very worrying, and he has not said a word until now. He looks like that, and he obviously has nothing to love in his life."
Faced with such a situation, Garcia had nothing to do. He knelt in the carriage, clasped his hands, and prayed, "Jessica." Goddess of Beauty, allow me to invoke your name. I am your faithful believer. Your constituent, Kanna, is now dying, and there is no pastor or doctor to be found in this wilderness. I ask to be your priest, and for this reason I am willing to give up the traditions of the warrior family and serve you for the rest of my life. ”
As soon as the words fell, Garcia's backpack beside him emitted a dazzling golden light. He immediately opened his backpack and found the source of the golden light, which was the original of the Beauty God Bible given to him by the Elven Empress Erica. Garcia hurriedly opened the Bible, only to see a layer of golden glowing text emerge from the page of the book that originally recorded the words of the beautiful gods. The glowing words on this page turned out to be a beauty god magic spell from the first order to the tenth order. The light emitted by three of the divine techniques was even more dazzling, namely: the first-order [Primary Body Healing Technique], the second-order [Primary Aerial Healing Technique], and the fourth-order [Intermediate Body Healing Technique].
Being able to understand the contents of these magic spells means that he has obtained the permission of the god of beauty and has become a priest. But as a newcomer to the priesthood, he shouldn't be able to cast a magic spell higher than the first order. Holding on to the luck mentality, he still cast a second-order divine technique [Primary Spatial Healing Technique] on Kanna. A golden light flashed on Kanna's body, and the speed at which blood spilled from the wound became slower, and the cast was successful!
Edward, who noticed something unusual, had already stopped the carriage and looked at it in surprise.
"Edward, draw the arrow!" Garcia shouted. At the same time, chant the fourth-order divine technique [Intermediate Personal Healing Technique]
Edward hurriedly crawled to Canna's side, and with a ruthless heart, pulled out the crossbow bolts in his arms and abdomen, and a large amount of blood began to spill from the wound. Edward hesitated as he held the crossbow bolt in Canna's chest.
Garcia chanted the magic and nodded firmly at Edward. Edward's eyes closed and he pulled hard. The arrow wound to Canna's chest immediately flowed blood. Under normal circumstances, with such a rate of blood loss, life will disappear in a matter of minutes. And death in a highly poisonous state is basically impossible to resurrect. But Garcia's healing magic was quickly chanted, and with a flash of golden light, Kanna's three wounds were significantly smaller, and the blood flow rate was greatly slowed.
Garcia kept chanting the three spells until he couldn't cast anything. All three levels have run out of magic uses that day. Looking at Kanna again, the wound has basically healed and is no longer bleeding.
Most of the priests of the gods do not have an antidote in their divine techniques. However, fortunately, due to a series of problems such as the limitations of poison training techniques, the loss of venom activity in preservation, and the dosage of weapons to smear poison, there is no such thing as a weapon that seals the throat with blood. High-level fighters often have excellent physiques, and when they are in normal physical condition, most of the common toxins can be removed after a period of metabolism. This is also why the dwarves in the northeast of the continent are almost immune to poisoning due to their possession of the highest physique attribute among mortals. However, the poisoning state will still cause long-term damage to the body and greatly increase the burden of recovery, which is absolutely fatal to the physical condition of Kanna, who was previously weak and seriously injured.
"Water ......" Kanna, who was still unconscious, let out a groan.
Garcia noticed that Kanna was sweating profusely. He probed her forehead with his hand, and Kanna, who was still cold just now, started a high fever. Garcia then took a water bag and linen towel out of his bag and helped Kanna wipe the sweat from her face and neck. Then place a wet towel on Kanna's forehead and slowly feed Kanna water.
Edward continued westward in the carriage. Garcia held the Bible tightly in his arms with his left hand while taking care of Kanna. Before they knew it, the sun was slowly rising behind them, and it was dawn.
