Chapter 23: Prologue to the Nightmare [IV.]

Be kind, read a book and give a ticket, hehe, there is a chapter around 10 o'clock in the evening!

When Cohen accompanied Connie back to the mercenary union, Howl's low wail came from the treatment room, the two looked at each other, and hurriedly pushed open the wooden door of the treatment room, only to see Rose constantly wiping Fandal's body with a wet towel, Hal kept turning in circles next to him, and kept repeating in his mouth: "How can it be so hot, what should I do, what should I do? Damn where did Cohen take Connie at this time, why didn't he come back?"

Rose scrambled to cool down Vandal while instructing Hal to calm down.

Just when Hal called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, Connie finally returned to the treatment room, and in desperation, Hal rushed over, clasped Connie's hands, and pleaded: "Connie, please save Vandal, he is dying!"

Hearing Howl's shout, Connie hurriedly rushed to front of Vandal's magic array, urging the valley healing circle to operate, and with the soft green light lit up, Vandal's tightly knit brows finally slowly relaxed, and his rapid breathing gradually calmed down. When Rose changed to a soft, dry towel to wipe the sweat from Vandall's forehead, the sound of even breathing came through Vandall's nostrils.

Connie continued to run the healing magic array, and injected a small amount of mental power to maintain the operation, then sighed softly and muttered: "It doesn't make sense, after my treatment yesterday, his body has healed, and the reason why he didn't wake up is just to rest for one more night and recover his strength." Why did he suddenly get a fever, and almost ended his life and returned to the arms of the gods. ”

And at this time, in the dream of the sleeping Vandal......

Vandal woke up slowly, looking at the endless white space in front of him, the black Thundermang Giant Sword was lying flat within reach, feeling a tingling pain coming from his forehead, Vandal patted his hands hard, and muttered: "Where is this, why will I be here?"

"You're finally awake!" a gentle voice came from behind Vandal.

"Mia!!" Vandal turned around, stunned for a moment, only to see countless tiny clusters of light intertwined into Mia's phantom not far behind him, slowly floating in midair.

Vandal couldn't believe what he saw, and rushed to Mia, his right hand trying to hold Mia's small and soft hand as before, but when the five fingers clenched, countless golden light balls slipped through the gaps between his fingers, causing ripples in Mia's phantom.

"This ......" Vandal took a few steps back in surprise and looked at Mia with a puzzled expression.

I saw a poignant smile appear on Mia's face, and at this moment she was looking at Vandal with the most affectionate gaze, and after a while, she said: "My time is running out, I'm here to say goodbye to you, Vandall!"

"Say goodbye to me, am I dead?" As soon as he thought about it, the memory of being knocked away by the Dark Moon Wolf King in the Rocky Canyon instantly occupied Vandal's consciousness.

Vandal let out a wry smile helplessly, his forehead slowly lowered, and he said sadly: "It turns out that you and I are forever separated, Mia, you must live well!" Suddenly, a pair of small hands flashing with soft golden light gently caressed Vandall's cheeks, but in that soft light cluster, Vandal could not feel a trace of human warmth. "Have you forgotten that I'm a priest?Vandal, how can I let your life die with me!" Mia's gentle voice instantly lowered Vandal's body temperature to freezing point.

Vandal raised his head suddenly, and countless light clusters flew into the white space with the fluctuating air current, and then slowly condensed into Mia's appearance again, at this moment, Vandal finally understood that he was indeed separated from Mia forever, but it was Mia who died instead of himself.

"No... No... That's not the case, Mia, I'll definitely find a way to save you, please, don't leave me!" At this time, the unspeakable sadness that was entangled in his heart, except for crying to vent a little, Vandal really didn't know what else to do to express his sadness.

Seeing the hoarse cry of the beloved man in front of him, Mia gently surrounded Vandal and said softly: "For me, you must live well, and the excitement of my life will be handed over to you, my beloved warrior!" Before the words were finished, Mia's phantom gradually left Vandal's side and slid backwards slowly. Fandal, who was originally silent in pain, seemed to feel something, hurriedly got up and chased forward, and kept shouting: "Mia, please, don't leave me alone, I can't lose you!"

Just when Vandal saw that he was about to catch up with Mia's phantom, the countless light clusters that made up the phantom gradually dissipated in the air, at this time Vandal couldn't care so much anymore, he tried his best to jump forward, and the whole person threw himself towards the phantom, at this time, he just wanted to gently hold Mia in his arms.

"Poof!" Vandal threw himself into the air as a soap bubble as the last ball of light disappeared into the air, and his body fell to the ground with a heavy blow. A sharp tingling sensation came from his shoulder, and after enduring the pain, Vandal hurriedly got up, waving his hands in the space where the light disappeared at the back, and Vandal was already in tears at this time.

Just when Vandal gave up searching and fell to his knees on the ground, a very tiny ball of light suddenly appeared in the air and floated quietly to his ears, and Mia's last words finally sounded in Vandal's ears - farewell, lover! Hearing Mia's last words, Vandal's body could no longer bear this sadness, and the whole person fainted and fell backwards.

That night, in the Holy See Mercenary Guild.

Two lines of tears suddenly slipped on Fandal's face, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes, only to see that it was pitch black all around, recalling the memory just now, Fandal hissed in his throat that had been dry for a long time: "Mia!"

At this time, Hal was curled up and napping outside the treatment room when he was awakened by the sudden call and hurriedly pushed open the wooden door, just as Vandal was trying to break free from the traction of the healing circle, and walked over weakly. "Vandal, you're all right!" Hal hurriedly walked over to Vandal, reaching out to help Vandal's body and walking towards the chair next to him.

With Hal's support, Vandal slowly sat down in his chair to rest, and asked casually, "Where is this?"

"The Mercenary Guild of the Holy See of Mirufes, we were all injured in the Rocky Canyon that day, and we rushed here day and night to heal your wounds, and now you and Rachel are safe. Hal gave a rough account of what had happened that day. After learning that the Darkmoon Wolf King had been killed by Cohen, and that the Armor of Honor mercenary group had received a lot of benefits, Vandal smiled happily: "It seems that we have to thank Cohen well, if it weren't for him and Rachel, the Rocky Canyon would definitely be the grave of several of us." By the way, Ross and Mia, are they all right?"

Hearing Vandal's inquiry, Hal suddenly paused in his slightly cheerful tone just now, but quickly replied casually: "Of course, they are all very good, especially Rose, who will take time to go to the Holy See's Magic Institute every day to check the information, it seems that he has deeply realized the weakness of his strength, haha!"

Vandal nodded with a smile, and said happily: "It seems that the Rocky Canyon group, his overly casual personality can finally be changed, if he knew that the face of death could get rid of his bad problem, the previous mercenary mission would directly arrange him to be a scout." Hahaha!" Vandal's hearty laugh filled the entire mercenary guild. "What about Mia, how is she?"

"Ahh......h Mia, she's fine, oh, by the way, she came to see you this morning, but she doesn't expect to be able to come in the past two days, she said it's rare to come back to the Holy See, there are a few good sisters in the Holy See, and I'm going to take some time to visit them, so she's not here for the past two days, but don't worry, she'll be back soon!" Hal's back was full of sweat at this time, and he didn't know how Lu Dao found such a ridiculous reason to prevaricate Vandal, in fact, Hal had already decided to tell his brother the truth of the facts, but when he thought of Vandal learning that Mia had died, if he couldn't resist this grief, then his last relative in this world might be gone, and Hal couldn't take the risk of this risk.

Vandal nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Mia has been following our mercenary group for so many years, and now that she has returned to her place of study, there are naturally some things that cannot be left behind. Now, Howl, I'll give you a mission, and when you return to Gustinshire, you'll have to pay double the compensation to the families of the sixteen of your dead companions, and if you don't handle this well, I'll be sure to give you a good treat. Do you know the way?"

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter, and I won't chill the companions who follow us. Seeing that Vandal finally stopped mentioning Mia, Hal naturally agreed to his brother's conditions, and said that he would discuss countermeasures with Cohen and Ross as soon as possible early tomorrow morning.

"It's not too early, you go out and rest, I'll be here for one night!" Vandal opened the wooden door directly, motioned for Hal to rest on the rattan chair outside the door, and then took the cloak that was folded aside, and lay down on the chair in the treatment room steadily, and glanced at Hal and said, "Good night!"

Hal whispered goodnight, closed the door, and then let out a long sigh, and sat numbly on the wicker chair, falling asleep in a mess of thoughts. But Hal didn't see that at the moment when he sighed at the end, Vandal looked at him with tears in his eyes through the gap behind the door.

Nothing to say all night!

"Hal, wake up quickly, get up and eat breakfast!" Cohen looked at Hal lying on the rattan chair in a large shape, casually put aside the black bread and milk he had just bought, and squatted down and patted Hal on the forehead. Rose, who was standing aside, ate his bread and looked at Hal with a little playfulness.

Feeling that someone was slapping his forehead, Hal waved his hand unhappily, opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Cohen and Rose, Hal sat up violently, and said, "Vandal woke up last night, go and see!"
