Riding and Slashing

Chapter 10 The Doctor Who Wants to Be a Knight

The poor young man in the ragged robes of aristocrats was evidently a captive of pirates.

After seeing Li Ang, he let out a long breath, and praised the goddess of creation in a low voice: "Damia! Sir! Thank you for saving me..."

Li Ang was a little confused. After half a year in this continent, there were people from all countries in the arena. He also had a little understanding of the gods believed in by various countries.Dalmia is not the religion of Fieldsway or the Kingdom of Sarleon.

"You believe in Damia, the goddess of creation? Then you should be a Bacchus—but that should be at the southernmost tip of the continent. Why did you appear on the west coast?"

The young man nodded hastily, with a smile on his face: "Thank you Damia... so there are still people on the west coast who know about the God of Creation! Sir, your friend seems to be injured? I think I can help..."

"You are a doctor?"

Klose also put away his unscrupulous eyes: "That would be great, I have an unlucky guy with a foot injury..."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the pirate with a broken leg who was cowering in the cave, vacated the bed, and shouted back, "Kan, help Sammer in..."

The poor pirate with a broken leg was thrown to the ground, screaming like a pig being killed.

The young man frowned: "This... sir! You shouldn't treat an unarmed wounded person like this!"

Klose turned his head back with sharp eyes: "Son, you have to know that he is still our enemy..."

Li Ang waved his hand in the middle: "Okay, okay, Klose, take this poor guy out for an interrogation first, and see if there is any important information... Do you mind helping my friend look at the foot injury first?" , Your Excellency the young doctor?"

The young man looked anxiously at the pirates on the ground, then at Klose and Leon, and nodded hesitantly.

Like catching a chicken, Klose carried the pirate on the ground to the outside of the cave with one hand, and threw him beside the fire.

Before the interrogation, the pirate cried out, "What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything, don't do anything..."

Li Ang drank the soup slowly, found a clean place in the cave and sat down, watching the young man bandage the wound on the foot of the Mettenheim swordsman named Summer.

"What's your name, Doctor?"

The young man was very serious when he did things, and his technique was quite professional. He replied without turning his head: "My name is An Sen, and I am a student of Boshi City Theological Seminary, not a doctor..."

Anson?

It was hard for Li Ang to recall this name - he had been in the arena for more than half a year, and he had only practiced and competed for a long time, and he almost forgot many things.

Anson was from Ashcomman, a big city in the South, and he was the son of a minor nobleman.

However, after losing the fief, his father became a businessman.

His family hopes that he can become a noble priest-they are all faithful believers in the creation goddess Damia.

Thus, Ansen was sent to the seminary in Boshi City.

But like all families, his parents didn't ask the young man about his own dreams...

Anson couldn't bear the boring chanting and copying of the seminary, and he also saw that the clergy showed no mercy to the lower class people, even pious in front of them, and men robbed and prostituted in back.

He didn't want to be with such a priest, so he sneaked out to find his dream.

He still believes in and respects the goddess Damia, but he aspires to be a knight, a true knight with the eight knightly virtues.He felt that the Knights of the Glorious Cross in Boshi City could probably satisfy his dream.

But unfortunately, he was on the wrong ship in Boshi City... a ship flying the banner of the Radiant Cross.The ship took him halfway across the continent along the Sava River to the west coast—it was a band of pirates, and the cross flag was just a successful disguise.

Fortunately, Anson had learned enough medicine during his seminary years that he became the pirates' temporary doctor—at least until his father paid enough ransom.

According to An Sen, there were about [-] pirates in this camp, but Li Ang and the others only met a small half of them—because more pirates went to Boshi City again.

Anson didn't know what they were going back and forth to Boshi City for, but it didn't look like they wanted a ransom for sending a letter to his home - these pirates didn't ask him to write a letter for help, and it didn't take so many people to send a letter.

It is also because the pirate leader is not here, so they will directly attack any strangers they meet...

"So what do you do now? Are you planning to go home?"

Li Ang asked, he had a good chat with An Sen, this is a polite, kind and upright young man.

Moreover, in Li Ang's somewhat vague memory, this Ansen should be the partner he once recruited in the game.

However, the reality is obviously very different from the game - Anson's face is completely different from the rough modeling in the game, and his youthful appearance with a few pimples looks like a high school student.

And in the game, you can only meet these partners in the tavern, but Anson appeared in the pirate's lair...

Anson shook his head: "I have to go to the seminary when I go home. I don't want to go back to the seminary...Mr. Li Ang."

Li Ang gave a thumbs up approvingly: "Persisting on one's ideal is a virtue. If you are willing, my team just lacks a doctor."

Anson sighed: "If possible, I would rather be a knight than a doctor... Thank you for taking me in, Your Excellency Leon."

Li Ang smiled, with a strange look on his face: "The Knights of the Glorious Cross are famous for their medical skills, but I heard that they don't treat civilians anymore? Are you planning to become such a knight?"

Anson froze for a moment, then shook his head: "No, it should be the duty of a knight to treat civilians. No matter what others do, I want to be a real knight."

Li Ang looked at An Sen who was still meticulously bandaging the wounded, and finally nodded seriously: "A real knight...you will get your wish."

After finishing speaking, he drank the soup in his hand, threw down his helmet, pulled out a wire from the corner of the cave, and began to poke Anson's shackles.

For a modern person, this simple snap lock is really easy to open.Moreover, this is also the stunt of 'Leon Griffin' when he was a teenager.

'Click', a crisp spring sound sounded, Ansen rubbed his ankle and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Li Ang..."

Li Ang stood up with a surprised face.

Because, his riding and cutting system has never given any hints.

The phrase "Anson has joined your team" that he had been waiting for for a long time never came.

In the team list, there was still only one great swordsman and twelve Meittenheim adventurers.

And An Sen looked at the small piece of wire in Li Ang's hand with a complicated expression, and looked at Li Ang with some disbelief.

"My lord, the pirate outside seems to know something strange, but he only wants to tell the doctor..."

Klose came in, saw the men who had been bandaged, and looked at Anson with a hint of warmth.

Li Ang looked at An Sen, but his eyes were a little complicated.

Anson walked out of the cave and squatted in front of the pirate.The pirate whispered in his ear for a while, and then looked at him eagerly, his eyes full of desire to survive.

An Sen was silent for a while, nodded towards the pirate, stood up and turned to Li Ang and said, "He hopes you can spare his life..."

Li Ang grinned strangely, and asked the pirates on the ground: "You clearly know that I am the leader here, why did you ask Anson to negotiate terms? He can't make the decision."

The pirate bared his teeth and showed what was probably a smile: "Because I know he will keep his promise... If you kill me, he won't tell you anything."

No one in Pendor is a fool, even a pirate knows what is best for him.

Li Ang looked at Ansen: "You decide, future shining knight."

Ansen was stunned for a moment, then bent down and saluted with his chest in his hands: "Then, please forgive him, he is disabled and can't do evil anymore."

Li Ang nodded and smiled.

He heard the long-awaited tone - 'Anson has joined your team'.
