Chapter 78 Chapter 78 New Lord

Gerlos eyes slowly opened, it took me a while to remember where you are and what happened to you. Although his chest was still aching, his body was weak and weak, and he really wanted to drink water, he knew that he had saved his life, and that was the most important thing.

There was a snoring sound from the left, and he turned his head slightly from the corner of his eye to see that it was Farrell. He slept curled up on the inside of the bed, the corners of his mouth were full of dry saliva, and two cats, one white and one black, were lying on his chest. That sleeping position would definitely not be comfortable, perhaps not as good as Gerros, who had a wound on his chest. However, Geros felt that there was also a foreign object pressing down on his chest, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a hand.

Dagon rests one hand on the holy symbol on Gerros' chest, the other resting on the edge of the bed with his chin resting as he sleeps on the bench. He was exhausted. He had fought the rainstorm before, dragged Gerros to find a doctor, and then had to use his power to maintain the Holy Emblem. Gerros was surprised to discover a magical phenomenon: Dagon could output mana with his fingers while he was sleeping.

How is this done? Gerros didn't understand it at all, but he knew it might be Dagon's secret personal ability. With the help of mana, the Holy Emblem communicated with the Spirit World's dive force, enabling the god of war and domination - the half-dragon Copas - to bestow healing powers. This healing power can help Geros recover and reduce the chance of him having an accident. When the dangers of infection, fever, and blood clots are avoided, the body can get some respite and start moving in the right direction.

"Um...Dagon..." Geros was surprised at his hoarse voice, and he was ashamed at the low volume. With such a little voice, let alone commanding the convoy, even the sparrows can't drive away. He tried to gather strength and lung capacity, and continued: "Dagon? Dagon...Dwarf Prince!"

Dagon was shivered and woke up suddenly, as if electrocuted.

It looks like you're really a dwarf Prince. Geros laughed inwardly, then raised his arm to his throat and said, "Thirsty, water."

There's nothing better than water, and that's soup. Lati and Toby use goat milk, meat puree, flour, honey, etc. to boil the liquid food, which tastes weird, but everything in it is good for the body - at least not poisonous. The odd food was kept warm by the fire, and Dagon took the bowl and spooned it to Gerros.

"This thing is not allowed on the menu of the caravan." After eating, Geros felt that he had recovered a lot, and he already had the power to dislike food. "Is there any wine? I need something to warm up quickly."

"Pharrell doesn't have any wine here. He said don't forget to take your medicine when you wake up. I'll bring it to you. ."

"Wait a minute, I want to know where Toby is? How's everyone else?"

"Toby and Ratty go to White Horse Town to see what's going on. Except for Tess, who hasn't seen the caravan, the rest of the caravan has been taken away by the Knights." Dagon said, "Don't worry, drink the medicine first, and then we'll check the situation again."

The weird food from before seemed to have had a better effect than expected, and Gerlos was soon able to sit up by himself and drink his medicine with a bowl in hand. The sound of him getting up woke Pharrell, the veterinarian drove the cat away, sat up from the bed, wiping the corners of his mouth, and the first sentence was: "Look! I really cured him!"

"Thank you, doctor," Geros said.

"many thanks, this dwarf, he's been praying for you, it works better than me, and has more mana than me." Farrell stretched, yawned, and moved off the bed, two Feet shoved into cloth shoes that exposed fingers. "Drink the medicine first, I'm changing the external medicine and bandage for you."

After a while, the three of them were relieved when they saw that Geros' wound had begun to scab over. . After putting on the bandage again, and drinking some water, Geros seemed to relax, and the medicine efficacy of the drinking attacked, and he fell into a drowsy and fell asleep.

"He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask anything."

Dagon looked at Pharrell, the veterinarian also helpless. "I use a ready-made formula, and I really don't dare to change the contents. Why does he sleep? Obviously the cow will be excited after eating it, and it will be more energetic to give birth to a calf."

"You feed him cows. stimulant?”

“That medicine can provide nutrition, prevent internal bleeding, improve the internal environment of the body, and excitement is only a secondary effect.”

“It can only be waited for him to wake up again. Come, or Lati and Toby are back." Dagon yawned and asked, "Dr. Farrell, have you never heard of those Knights?"

"No, so I It's strange too." Farrell said: "Bauer Count from Boar Castle kept me at his place to deliver his favorite racehorse and bred his family's livestock. I've been busy for more than two months, only a week ago. Back. This week, I was busy sorting out the medicine ingredient garden, preparing a nest for the ewes and two cats I brought back, and I haven't been to White Horse Town yet. If I hadn't gone to Merry's house and bought a pair of rabbitskin gloves, little one Latti didn't even know I was back."

"What did you buy rabbitskin gloves for?"

"Bitten by a cat." Farrell took two from the kitchen Hard bread, cut open and heated on an iron stove, then start slicing sausages and cheese. "Come over and have some food? We got it from Count's house, and eat it before it's broken."

"How much does the treatment cost?" Dagon asked.

"If it's not cured, I guess you're not going to give money, right?"

Dagon shook his head: "I wouldn't do something that violated the honor of the Jiangu clan."

"That's a total of twelve gold coins, including food." Farrell thought for a while, then added: "If you're willing to give the dwarf's gold coins, you can only give six... seven One."

7 gold coins, saving one life and feeding four people, which is quite a bargain. Dagon counted seven gold coins from his pocket and gave him the bread and cheese sausage sandwich in peace.

At nightfall, just when Dagon was starting to get anxious, Toby and Lati finally returned with an unexpected person: Tess. It turned out that Tess had already completed her mission at Boar Castle. She met Toby and Lati who were returning on the road. After listening to the situation, she rode her horse and ran back with two little fellows. The horse was so tired that he was taken to the backyard by Farrell to recuperate. And Geros was also full of sleep, and opened his eyes again.

He saw Tess at a glance, then relieved with a smile. , said: "Finally there is good news. I thought I would never have a chance to see your face."

"It's true to say that it is a disaster to live for a thousand years." Tess carefully lifted a corner of the bandage. , frowned and glanced. "I was stabbed in the left chest by a knife—what do you eat? You play with knives all the year round, but you get stabbed by a knife. Is it shameful to lose it?"

"Lost! That's all." Geros squeezed his fist, but his hand immediately began to tremble, and then the fist loosened, obviously not fully recovered. "Who is that Borge?"

"Borge Ma Feng, who claims to be Baron, is not sure if he actually has the title of Knight. The title of Baron is very suspicious." Tess said: "He Tangled up with a team called Double Fort Knight, which includes mercenaries, wandering Knights, and a few marginal characters who may not have titles in the minor nobles. They broke White Horse Town three weeks ago and killed the original lord. Take the town for himself. This Borge Mafeng tried to pledge allegiance to Bauer Count in Boar Castle, but the count has not yet decided what to do with him. It is said that he has contacted the local Elf Governor to put pressure on the count. "

About five hundred years ago, the last king of mankind was killed by monsters in the sniper battle of the infinite labyrinth. Before the new king ascended the throne, a plague wiped out the entire royal family. For more than 50 years, those who claimed to have the right to inherit the king, those who tried to become kings, appeared like watching flowers, and disappeared like shooting stars. Humanity is getting weaker and weaker, and soon no one can become king in terms of jurisprudence, prestige, or power.

In order to fight the monsters, humans must stop the chaos, so the elves send governors to mediate disputes between human lords and avoid endless wars of revenge. After that, the governors of the elves became the overseers of the human lords. Although they did not have actual ownership of the land, they actually had the final say in what happened on the land.

The elf governors always manage many, they are very good at taking advantage of the complex relationship between human lords to divide and conquer, and they will attack those thorns in groups, so the human lords will not oppose the elf governors for their own interests . If the elf governor acquiesced to Borge Mafeng becoming the new lord of White Horse Town, then the Bauer count of Wild Boar Castle could only swallow the result.

"It turns out that White Horse Town is an independent territory and has no superiors. Bauer count may just think that Borge's origin is unknown and does not want to deal with him immediately, but he does not mind one more subordinate and one more subordinate. Territory." Tess said: "The people from Boar Castle said that Borge Mafeng had a pinch of white hair in the center of his head, and a little finger was missing from his left hand."

"The one who stabbed me with a knife. It's him." Gerros said: "He's not a serious lord, and certainly not a noble. I have seen nobles, and I have seen mercenaries, robbers, and liars, and Borge must belong to the latter. Those..."

Geros stopped, looked at Lati, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed said, "You will know sooner or later, and I will not hide it from you. Lati, break into your house and kill your parents. The robbers of and close relatives are Ma Feng's men. That guy stopped the convoy and framed us as robbers, and those murderers died heroically while catching us so-called robbers. He asked us robbers to surrender, obediently and honestly will Turn in the looted materials and pay the ransom. I guess he wants money."

"No, he's terrifying." Toby said, "I heard from the original lord's messenger, Elf. The Governor admits that Ma Feng is a lord with certain conditions, that is, to eliminate robbers and maintain road safety. Now, the number of robbers arrested is still less than 20, and he may use our caravan to top him.”
