Chapter 70: The Fallen Lion [V.]

The words in the alley fell, but Rachel, who was drunk, grabbed the little black hand and pulled it hard, and a fat man with an honest appearance staggered out and fell to the ground. Just as Rachel wanted to grab him by the throat, Xuelu suddenly said, "Stop, Rachel!" After saying that, he squatted down and reached out to brush away the fat man's messy hair, "He's still a child!"

At this time, the fat man hugged Xuelu's right hand and cried, "Sister Pastor, please save Camille, she's dying?" Xuelu turned to look at Cohen and asked, "Why don't you and Kraft go to the Elven Post House to visit Elder Bolt first, and I'll go with him to see what's going on?"

Cohen shook his head and said with a smile: "It's still early, I'll accompany you over to have a look, Kraft bothered you to take Rachel and Rose to find a hotel near the inn to settle down, and Xuelu and I will come back later." Rachel and Rose were not happy at this time, and they muttered that they had to have some fun with Cohen, and said that they would not want to go back to the hotel so early to rest. Who knew that Dowcalfe grinned, and regardless of whether Rachel and Rose wanted to, he put his arms around the heads of the two of them one by one and walked forward without looking back.

"What's your name, little one?" Cohen picked up the fat man and helped him pat the dust off his body.

The fat man looked at Cohen and the two gratefully, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My name is Hoth, Sister Reverend, can you hurry up?" I am worried that Sister Camille will not be able to support it anymore!" After speaking, he ran anxiously towards the alley behind him, and kept waving to the two. Cohen and Shelly glanced at each other, quickened their pace and followed Hult around the dark alley.

The last three stopped in front of a low rock house, and Cohen looked around, only to see that the light was dim, some unknown vines and plants were crawling on the rock house, and the gutters on both sides of the house emitted a damp and musty stench, and the dilapidated wooden door of the rock house hung a rusty iron pipe. The fat man Hotmali pulled out the iron pipe and pushed the door open, and suddenly a pungent smell of blood rushed out of the door, and Cohen subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, beware that this was a trap.

"Sister Camille, I'm back!" the fat man called out to the inner room, and after a while a woman's hoarse voice came from the inner room: "Thank you, Hult!"

Hort said to Cohen and the others: "Sister Camille is very seriously injured and has been bedridden, and the wound has worsened in the past few days, and the high fever has continued. Sister Pastor, please come in and save her!" After saying that, he pushed open a small door in the back room, stood in front of the door, and made a gesture of please.

Xuelu nodded, and walked to the back room accompanied by Cohen, the back room was very small, a flat bed and a coffee table with water, and then there was a girl lying on the bed with her upper body covered with bandages, a fishy smell emanated from the bandages, and a trace of pus and blood oozed out of the gaps in the bandages.

"Sister Camille, I found a priest sister who is willing to come and treat you, and you will recover soon!" Hult's small hand kept pointing at Xuelu, and the pressure that had been pressing on his heart during this time could finally be relieved a little at this moment.

"How did your sister get hurt, it would be dangerous to find someone to treat her so seriously!" Xue Lu said as she handed the staff to Cohen, took out a small silver scissor from her waist bag and kept cutting the rotten bandage on the girl's body, only to see a deep wound that could be seen to appear on the girl's chest, and a faint green and purple mark was around the wound.

"Cohen, you take Hort out of the city for a while, it will take some time here!" Xuelu's brows furrowed, she remembered this vicious poisoning reaction deeply, the unique bone erosion toxin of the subhuman race, every resident priest of the mercenary guild would be ravaged by this damn thing, and then helplessly watched the poisoned person die of pain.

Cohen nodded, and with a reluctant Hult on his face, he exited the back room. When it was confirmed that Hot was leaving, Xuelu gently squeezed Camille's wound with small scissors, and Camille snorted.

"Camille, the toxin in your body has been deeply infected, if you want to be completely cured, the next treatment will make you unbearable, can you bear the pain?" Xue Lu said slowly, looking at the pupils that were gradually spreading under the bandage.

"I... Don't want to... Die!" Camille said word for word.

Xuelu looked at Camille's eyes that were desperate to live, and took out a handkerchief from her bag and stuffed it into Camille's mouth, "Bite it, let's start!" Then a soft golden light slowly lit up in Xuelu's palm, and pressed it towards Camille's wound, and suddenly the sweat of the bean instantly appeared on Camille's forehead, the severe pain made her eyes widen, and the handkerchief in her mouth was bitten and gurgling, a wisp of blood slowly flowed out of the corner of her mouth, and her body began to twitch continuously.

Just as Xuelu was trying her best to save Camille, Cohen pulled the fat Hult to the outside of the rock house, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Xuelu will definitely make Camille recover." Hott nodded, and from time to time turned his head to look into the door, through which he could faintly see a golden glow. If it weren't for herself, how could Sister Camille be so seriously injured, that group of people, they all deserve to die. Hult's small hands were clenched tightly, and the anger in his heart made his little face a little hideous.

"Camille was injured because of you, right?" Cohen asked suddenly, looking at Hult.

Hort looked at Cohen in disbelief, hesitated for a moment, and said, "She blocked a knife in order to save me, and used her combat skills to kill the pursuers, and then took me to hide here to recuperate." Unexpectedly, only a day later, her injuries became so serious. ā€

"If I'm not mistaken, the weapon that injured her was smeared with bone erosion toxin, and at the same time, her overstepping combat skills caused a lot of damage to her body, so the injury only deteriorated dramatically in a short period of time. Hult, the Bone Eater is a favorite of the Subhuman Assassins, can you tell me what the Subhuman Assassins will hunt you down?" Cohen looked at Hot with a serious expression, he didn't want to get involved in something uncontrollable.

"They were going to kidnap me and then extort my family for a hefty ransom. Hult looked into Cohen's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

Who knew that Dao Cohen shook his head and sighed: "You didn't tell the truth, the subhuman assassins who can use the bone erosion toxin, no matter how bad their strength is, can still compete with mid-level martial artists." Not to mention whether your family's wealth is comparable to that of a nation, but not so much that the subhuman assassins will risk their lives to come to the Lion Crusader City to kidnap you. And Camille, I think her strength is that of a beginner-level giant sword warrior, she can kill assassins, so I really can't imagine how strong the combat skills used by this leapfrog are. ā€

"I... I—" Hult was speechless by Cohen's words, and suddenly broke out in a sweat.

Cohen looked at the hesitant Hult, suddenly walked quickly to the wooden door of the rock house, and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll ask Xuelu to stop the treatment now!"

Hult was in a hurry, rushed to Cohen and grabbed Cohen's hand, and said excitedly: "You can't stop the treatment, otherwise Sister Camille will die!"

"It's up to you!" Cohen looked at Hult, slowly letting go of his right hand pushing the door.

Hult was silent, he remembered every word Camille said to himself yesterday: "Your Highness Elvis, now there is an undercurrent surging in the city, His Majesty the King is sick, the eldest prince and the second prince have been peeking at the throne for many years, and the two have secretly wrestled with each other, and there are countless souls who have died in the hands of the two over the years. In recent years, the king has cared for His Royal Highness, but he didn't know that he had already been a thorn in the side of the eldest prince and the second prince, and he didn't know how many ways he wanted to deal with His Royal Highness quickly. In order to protect the safety of His Highness, the king ordered me to take His Royal Highness to escape from the royal city overnight and live an incognito life. From this day forward, Your Highness must forget who you are, and henceforth your name will be Hult, and you must never mention your identity to anyone without my permission. ā€

I'm sorry, Sister Camille, but I have to break my promise for your life.

"I am the fourth prince of the kingdom of Atanas, Anasta Elvis, and the assassins who hunted me and Camille should have been sent by my two brothers to completely eliminate me as a candidate for crown prince. Sister Camille, the queen mother's close guard selected for me from the Black Rock Skull Guard, took me out of the royal city in hiding, but they found me when I was about to leave the city. After a vicious fight, Sister Camille resisted the fatal slash at me at the last moment, desperately using the power of the king to eliminate the assassin in the danger of exploding and dying. Hult hesitated for a moment, but told Cohen the truth of the matter.

Big trouble, this is Cohen's first reaction after listening, I didn't expect that he and Xuelu inadvertently intervened in the competition for the crown prince of several princes of the Kingdom of Atanas, not to mention anything else, it was just that they intrigued and put each other to death by unscrupulous means, and the whole process was like a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the innocent lives around them. At this moment, Cohen hesitated whether to intervene in this matter, or directly asked Xuelu to stop treatment, and the two quickly hid to the side, not to be implicated, after all, with the meager strength of the two of them, maybe it would be a problem to die.

Hult saw Cohen's hesitant expression, an expression he was all too familiar with, an expression that everyone around him had unconsciously revealed since he was a child. Whoever showed the slightest hint of friendliness towards him would be hung on a beam in a corner of the palace at any point. Over time, except for some regular servants, Elvis no longer had a friend to talk to, and he lived alone in the cold royal city every day. And it was this hesitant expression on everyone's face, after all, he was still a prince, the fourth prince of the Atanas Kingdom.

"Please, as long as you rescue Sister Camille, we will disappear immediately, and we will never implicate you and Sister Shelly!" Elvis clutched Cohen's hands and knelt on the ground and pleaded.
