Chapter 9 Technique Dependency Exercises
Dearlando walked over, reached out and picked up the ice lump, examining it in the white light of the young dragon. The puck was frozen solidly, and the monster inside didn't move, as if it was really trapped.
"What are we going to do with these things? I'm afraid it won't shut them up completely. Dearlando looked at the large ice cube like a crystal ball in his hand uneasily, "What are you going to do?"
Fayl picked up Achille, muttered for a moment, and said, "Let's go back first, I have a container in my carriage that can be sealed, put it in that and see." If it doesn't work, just burn it at any time. ”
"Well, I'll seal it with my sword first. "Dearlando uses his will to control the magic sword to change shape, and Zuihou forms a box of spheres, just enough to hold the frozen monster.
Only then did the two of them have time to take a look at their surroundings, which is somewhere between the port and the main city, right next to the avenue they had just passed. There was a large pool of foul-smelling vomit under a tree not far away, and it seemed that Achille had been woken up halfway through the road, and he came down to the side of the road to vomit before he was attacked.
It's very close to where you're camping, maybe only a 10-minute walk. The thought of such a monster roaming in such a close area of the circus people sent chills through their hearts. Regardless of whether this thing has anything to do with the soul furnace components on the ship, but for the sake of safety, it must be found out as soon as possible and completely eradicated.
Diarrando looked in the direction of the sea and said to Fayir, "I'll send you two back first, and the safety of the camp depends on you." We have to remove all traces of the ship so that they are not discovered. Then he reached out and took Achille.
"No, I'll just teleport back. Fayer waved his hand and refused Dearlando's offer, "You remember to see what's in the cupboard." With that, he hugged Achille and disappeared into a cloud of magical smoke.
By the time Fair returned to camp, most of the people had already rested, the mage's carriage was parked away from the crowd, and the rest of the group rarely came and went, so no one usually noticed them leaving.
But tonight there was a small guest by the fire in front of the carriage, and it was Achille's sister Luna, and the maiden was in a daze at the fire with the basket full of food that Aunt Rumme had asked her to bring.
"Brother!" Luna screamed at the sight of the unconscious boy in Fayer's arms, and pounced in panic.
"What's wrong with my brother?" Seeing Achille's blood all over her body, Luna's big eyes immediately swelled with mist, and she couldn't speak again.
"Don't cry...... It's just that he was bitten by something, you go and boil some boiling water, and I'm going to clean his wound. Fayle looked at the crying girl and began to have a headache, and immediately arranged a task for Luna to distract him.
The girl obediently sobbed and found a pot, poured the water from the water bladder into it, set it on the fire and began to boil it. A year with her brother in a gang of thieves has taught her that crying is far less useful than doing practical things, and that Luna is particularly mature in some ways compared to children of her age.
While the maiden was boiling water, Fayl laid down Achilli by the fire and told him to lie down. Then he climbed into his carriage and found some herbs to stop bleeding and relieve pain, and ground them all and threw them into the pot.
The strong smell of medicine filled the air as the water boiled, and Fair manipulated the wind elemental to drag all the steaming water vapor over Achilli's body. Bran's healing skills are similar to Turanda's, and the only person who can heal magic is still unconscious, so Fayle has no choice but to use Bran's first aid to treat Achille's wounds.
“...... Hmm......" Achille, who had not been covered by the vapor, let out a cry of pain, and the boy's body moved slightly, and then let out a louder moan.
"......Brother! I thought you were dead!!Woo woo~~" Luna pounced as soon as she heard the voice, and Achille screamed out.
Fayle couldn't stand it and picked Luna up, and Achille rolled over a bit, finally barely sitting up.
"Cure it yourself...... Fayl threw Agati's cane to the boy, then put Luna down, motioning for the girl to watch quietly and not disturb the boy's healing.
Luna has always been a little afraid of this mage who is gray and revealing a cold aura all over his body, although Fayle is his brother's master, but once his face is cold at this moment, Luna is so frightened that he only dares to shed tears quietly.
"Brother is fine...... Oops...... Hiss...... Luna doesn't cry...... "Achille watched his beloved sister cry into a big face, and he was distressed to be comforted, but the wound on his waist hurt again.
Healing priority!Achille picked up Agati's cane, recalling the healing spell in his heart, praying earnestly that the forces of nature around him would respond to his request.
"Amora ~ Rysdell ~ Faye" With the young man's crisp accent, Agati's cane drew a standard trajectory, and a glowing green shimmer poured out from the inside of the cane, gradually gathering to the top, turning into a warm green light cluster covering the wound on his waist that was half the size of Luna's fist.
The wounds that had been bitten and burned by the heat quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the new healthy flesh replaced the original hideous wounds. In less than a minute, the flesh on the waist returned to its usual appearance.
"Whew~ Perfect!" Achille looked at his wound a little proudly, forgot the pain of the scar, and immediately looked at Fayir. Then he opened his arms to Luna and signaled that he was all right.
Luna couldn't sit still, and immediately threw herself into Achille's arms and began to cry. Achille hugged his sister in his arms, and said while comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, you see how powerful my brother is! Such a small injury, just chant a spell and get it done~"
Seeing that Achille was busy reassuring his sister, Fayl ignored him for the time being, and went back to his carriage to look for something, and after a few moments, he took something made of metal that looked like a large hourglass from the carriage.
The walls of the two containers of the hourglass are inlaid with transparent crystals, so you can see that the inside is empty. There are rotating screws on both sides of the chassis of the container, which can be unscrewed to open the lid and put things in. Fayer checked it and saw that there was nothing wrong with the seal, so he closed the strange hourglass again and put it beside him, and copied it to wait for Dirlando to return with the monster's sample.
Achille finally calmed Luna, and the girl cried and cried and finally fell asleep. Achille lovingly stroked Luna's long soft hair and picked her up, intending to take her back to Zoya's carriage.
Since being taken in by the circus, because Zoya likes Luna very much and has a heart to cultivate, Luna almost never rests at Achille's side at night, but sleeps with Zoya.
It was only a few dozen feet away from Zoya's carriage, but Fayle followed Achilli silently, quietly escorting them for a ride. Although the monsters seen so far have basically been destroyed, it doesn't mean that there won't be new ones nearby.
On the way back, Fayle heard the hooves of two fast horses in the distance, and sure enough, it wasn't long before he saw the figure of Diarlandor appear in the night.
Without waiting for the horse to stop, Deirlandor jumped straight down, stopped Achille, and examined the boy's wound himself.
"Alas, it was my mistake, I didn't expect that there would be that kind of monster in the city, but fortunately you're okay. Diarrando's face was apologetic, although he saw Achille recovering his life, but he still couldn't help but think of his injury just now.
"Boss...... It's not your fault, no one knew that monster would pop up out of nowhere. By the way, I think I saw your sword just now?" Achille suddenly remembered the strange sight he had seen before he passed out.
It turned out that Achille was put on the horse and was so uncomfortable that when he woke up, he couldn't help but run to the side of the road and vomit. When the wine and food were almost gone, he suddenly felt the air around him become heavy and cold. Then I heard a rustling sound and saw metal teeth that suddenly came in the darkness.
Thanks to Achille's quick reaction, that thing is afraid of fire, and at first Achille also put a few fireball spells to counterattack. He had planned to mount his horse and run away, but the strange teeth began to bite at the mount directly. When the injured pony fell, he crushed Achille underneath.
Achille's head hit him as he fell, and before he fell unconscious, he saw a white sword appear above him out of thin air, and then turned into light and scattered out, seemingly turning into a protective shield to protect himself.
"Hmm...... Didn't I promise to protect you, my sword responds to my contract, so if you encounter danger next time, call me out loudly, and I will rush to save you as soon as possible, no matter how far away. Deirlando scratched his head, a little embarrassed, after all, Achille was still injured, and this promise was flawed.
"What about the monster samples, and what did you find?" Fayer waited patiently for Deirlandor to finish his condolences to Achilli, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth to remind Deirlandor that it was important to get down to business. Don't talk warm nonsense over there, it sounds numb.
"Here's to you. Dearlando handed Fair the box made of the magic sword hanging on the horse, and then said with a serious face: "I opened the lock and looked, inside the dark cabinet was a jar filled with milky white solution, and there were a few red masks soaked in it. If I'm not mistaken, it's all human skin ....... ”
