Coming closer, Arturia stepped on the water herself—she has the blessing of the spirit of the lake and can stand on any water surface.

Tohsaka Rin did not have this ability, so Li Xu continued to hug her.

On the river beach covered with large and small pebbles, there was a white corpse half soaked. It may be because of the low temperature that the corpse did not rot, but it was swollen and whitish. He was wearing a half-body chain mail. His shoulders, wrists , boots and other parts are pieces of iron armor, polished very brightly.

Li Xu can detect the internal situation of the corpse by extending his divine sense a little without touching it.

"Death from the violent impact of internal organs..." He looked back at the cliff above the treetops in the distance, and speculated: "... This section is relatively gentle, only the top is covered with stones, which should be caused by the impact during the fall." He was seriously injured and drifted until here before going ashore, indicating that he may have stayed awake before and actively stayed in the current downward, probably to rescue his companions."

"At least there should be a groom. The carriage looks like it should be used by aristocrats. The exterior decoration is well done. It is impossible to have only one accompanying guard. There should be at least two."

"And count the master in the carriage"

Li Xu gestured to the corpse with one hand. The corpse seemed to be flipped back and forth several times by invisible hands. The armor on his body, including the shield on the back, the helmet on the head, and the saber around his waist, were removed one by one. Clean the spell, remove the odor and dirt on it, and tie it to the backpack with tree vines to hang it.

"What are you collecting this for?"

Rin Tohsaka was puzzled.

"It seems that this place is in the era of knight castles. This kind of chain mail is generally armor passed down by the knight class. If you find his family and return it, you can get extra information or rewards."

Li Xu explained.

"Yes"

Arturia agreed.

"Oh"

The three of them continued to search, and they found the body of a groom and another bodyguard. However, the body of this bodyguard had been eaten by something, and the body protected by chain mail remained intact, with only one leg left. , was gnawed to the bone.

Li Xu carefully observed the bite marks on the corpse, and frowned.

"strangeness……"

"What?" Tohsaka Rin didn't feel any discomfort with the corpse, and followed his gaze, but couldn't see anything.

"The bite marks on this corpse are different from those on the horse's corpse above, and there is no hair left at the scene. It doesn't look like it was bitten by a wolf or other beast, and one leg is missing. Judging from the traces, it was bitten by someone. chopped off..."

At this moment, Li Xu suddenly turned his head to look in one direction, grabbed Artoria, and rose up from the spot.

In an instant, they leaped briskly across the wide river, pointing their toes on the branches of the opposite woods. Tohsaka Rin and Artoria only felt that the scene in front of them quickly swept back from both sides of their eyes, and when they stopped again, they had already arrived. under a big tree.

In front of him were a few monsters about the same height as Artoria, with green or brown bodies, horned helmets on their heads, long pointed ears, and only a few rags around their waists.

These monsters didn't notice the arrival of the three of them, and they were waving their weapons at something on the tree, making strange noises.

Li Xu let go of Artoria, and the girl subconsciously manifested her own invisible great sword, and slashed out with one sword.

puff--

The screams of several monsters stopped abruptly, spraying black blood, each was hit twice by Artoria, one of them had a human thigh tied to its back with a tree vine.

"Goblin?" Rin Tosaka asked looking at the corpse on the ground.

"It's similar, but not quite like it"

Li Xu let go of her, looked at a certain place on the tree, jumped up, and quickly carried down a little girl with a slightly damaged dress, about ten years old, who was unconscious with her eyes closed.

The girl has light blue hair, her body can hardly feel the body temperature, her face is pale, and her breath is like a spring.

"Is there any help?" Tohsaka Rin touched her forehead and asked with a retracted hand.

"My medical skills are not bad, I can save her if I have breath, give her a hug for me"

"it is good"

Rin Tohsaka took the girl, and Li Xukong took out a few medicine bottles from the [warehouse bar], and fed her seven or eight peanut-sized pills of various colors.

The girl's mouth was bitten tightly. Li Xu pinched her cheeks and squeezed her chin to force it in. While maintaining the posture, he dripped a few drops of liquid from another medicine into her mouth. .

The girl completely lost consciousness and didn't know how to swallow at all, but it didn't bother Li Xu. He closed her mouth and patted her head with the other hand, making Tohsaka Rin tilt her body, and then He patted the top of her head a few times.

The girl's throat could be seen moving a few times, making a few grunts, and swallowing the things in her mouth in batches.

"Her clothes are all wet," Rin Tosaka said.

"Well, find a place to light a fire"

……

As long as there is still a breath, as long as Li Xu is present, it will be difficult to die.

The three of them quickly found a cave with no beasts in it. They took out their camping items and packed them up. Tohsaka Rin and Artoria started to change the little girl into dry and warm clothes, wrapped them in a blanket, and placed them next to the campfire. at an appropriate distance.

Li Xu stretched out his hand to massage her body a few times, and secretly sent a faint power of immortality to help her dissolve the medicine in her abdomen. After two weeks of operation, the little girl's vital signs stabilized.

His body temperature recovered, his heartbeat became strong and steady, but his cheeks were sickly red, and his breathing was also a little short of breath.

Tohsaka Rin and Artoria took care of the little girl. Li Xu took out the marching pot and cooked a pot of multigrain porridge on the campfire. They didn't eat, so they continued to make a big lunch, eating and waiting her wake up.

"Is it a nearby nobleman? When she recovers, we will take her back to the mountain road, and we will probably be able to find her family. Someone will definitely come looking for her."

Arturia eats everything deliciously, with rice grains sticking to the corner of her mouth, Yi Yi's face puffed like a hamster and said.

"What if it's that bloody vendetta? We took her back, but ended up falling into the grievances of the nobles here."

Rin Tohsaka interface.

The three were talking about the origin of the little girl.

"Shut up, you have opened your mouth"

"Why are you bringing this up again? I'll say it again, I, Yuan, Saka, Rin, no, yes, crow, crow, mouth... umm"

"Then you still say" Li Xu stuffed a chicken leg into her mouth, blocking her defense, "Hey, she woke up, hold her up, I'll feed her"

Rin Tohsaka and Artoria put down the things in their hands together, and carefully helped the little girl up from left to right. Although Li Xu said she was awake, she still seemed to be in a coma.

Li Xu mixed a spoonful of sugar and two or three spoonfuls of milk powder into the multigrain porridge. After mixing well, he scooped it up with a spoon and brought it to the little girl's mouth.

Smelling the scent under her nose, the little girl opened her eyes, looked at Rin and Rin weakly from left to right, opened her mouth and put the spoon into her mouth.

"Why is she still so weak, can you do it?" Tohsaka Rin looked at the little girl and asked worriedly.

"No way, she is born with a weak physique. I guess she can't run normally. It would be nice if she could save a life."

Li Xu has a lot of experience in taking care of patients, so he patiently fed her small spoonfuls.

If it is in the category of trauma, such as a pierced heart, Tohsaka Rin can still help, but she can't do anything about the symptoms of this disease.

After taking a few mouthfuls of warm and easy-to-absorb food, the little girl quickly regained some energy and fell back into a deep sleep.

Li Xu touched her forehead, and then touched her pulse door, that is, her wrist. After examining her for a while, he tucked her arm back under the blanket again.

They nodded at Rin.

The three of them settled the little girl, and after lunch, they emptied a hiking bag, wrapped her in new towels and blankets, carefully put her into the bag, carried by Li Xu, trekking all the way, and returned to the previous place. On the mountain road.

Walking down the side of the mountain road, Li Xu released several drones. Considering that this place might be the medieval knight castle era, he applied stealth magic to the drones, and used his [mobile phone] to control the front to scout the terrain.

……

"Oak"

"Oak"

Several big goblins screamed excitedly, and rushed down from the hillside waving tattered weapons.

"Hey? It's such a boring monster again." Rin Tohsaka rolled up one of his sleeves, aimed at one of the big goblins, and flew out a purple-black magic bullet from his hand—【Yin Qi Bullet】.

This is the ancient Nordic magic inspired by the magic circuit fixed on her arm. Originally, it was just a curse-like spell that would infect people with sickness and weakness. Through the double strengthening of the spell and the profession of [Alchemist], this very low-level spell at this time The attack method already has high-speed physical collisions, explosions, and the original sickness and weakness effects.

With a sound of "boom", the big goblin who was hit by the [Yin Qi Bomb] was blown to pieces and his limbs were blown to pieces. The nearby ones were all affected, either blown away by the air waves, or with a few broken bones stuck in their bodies , or burp on the spot with bleeding from the mouth and nose.

In order to prevent the little girl on her back from being irritated, Li Xu gave her a silent enchantment and protection spells, and she still slept peacefully in her mountaineering bag.

"You didn't go out to fight monsters when you were at home, why is this kind of monster boring?"

Arturia rushed forward, ignoring the slope, and with a few soft clicks, the big brother Brin who was still alive was repaired, and Li Xu and Tohsaka Rin stood on the spot talking.

When she came back, Arturia waved her hand and released her magic pet fur ball—a male snow leopard.

The hairball probed its head and smelled the smell of corpses on the ground. It seemed that it still shook its front paws in distaste, put its erect tail flat, and slid into the grass, rushing forward, and soon disappeared.

"Too weak and full of words 'Come hit me'"

The three continued on their way.

……

All afternoon until night fell, the three of them didn't meet anyone looking for the little girl, not even anyone.

The only ones I met were the big goblin, the Timberwolf who was identified as showing signs of demonization, the straw mushroom monster that was taller than Artoria, and dozens of monsters except for the strong man and some half-orcs who were no different from the big goblin.

Basically, it was hit by Rin or Artoria.

At night they camped in a ruins of a building. It was a stone house on a hillside. The roof had half collapsed, and the walls and the ground inside were still intact. They could watch from a height of tens of meters and monitor the two sides for hundreds of meters. path of.

A bonfire was raised in the open-air house, Li Xu sat by the fire and cooked, Tohsaka Rin and Arturia carried the little girl to the woods farther away to make it easier for the little girl.

Li Xu's observations were very meticulous, and it was easy to observe the distress of the little girl who woke up on his back in the afternoon.

After they came back, Tohsaka Rin and Artoria carefully washed her hands and wiped her face. Li Xu heated up the multigrain porridge kept in the thermos, and made instant food for the three of them—sea cucumber and abalone Shrimp and Egg Noodles.

There was a language barrier between the two parties, but the little girl knew that it was Li Xu and the others who saved her, so she obediently followed their instructions and instructions.

She has always had a small appetite. She ate half of the multigrain porridge in the thermos, and ate a caterpillar-like meat worm with her eyes closed. After chewing it, she found that it tasted delicious.

However, she only ate one of these meat worms.

After the meal, the physical fatigue swept over again, but under the patient supervision and demonstration of the black-haired lady, she learned to use the very delicate brush and the white paste that can bubble, a little sweet and very refreshing, After cleaning the mouth and teeth, he was allowed to get into the warm bed and fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up the next day, it was the same as last night. The black-haired lady helped her clean up the white paste squeezed out of the small bottle with a small brush, then washed her face and hands, and cleaned up.

After doing this, the little black-haired brother took her hand and walked up and down the open space in front of and behind the house, occasionally patting her body. For some reason, the little girl felt hot. The spirit is stronger than the day before.

When the forehead was sweating slightly, the black-haired brother stopped this behavior, wrapped her in the blanket again, fed her a few pills full of herbal medicine, and carried her behind his back.

The group continued on their way.

The little girl's spirit is better than yesterday, and her body has also recovered well. She didn't fall into a deep sleep this time.

On the way, she saw that the three of them easily eliminated all kinds of monsters in the jungle, such as big goblins, orcs, forest wolves, witches and freaks (straw mushroom monsters) and so on.

The little girl has walked this mountain road several times since she was a child, and this is the first time she knows that this forest is full of so many monsters. They suddenly appeared in various territories of the kingdom recently. The reason why she returned to the family territory from the viscount is because It was also for this reason that the Viscount Land entered a state of war.

The coachman and two guards had already been killed—the armor of the guards was hung on the backpacks behind the two young ladies. Although there was no emblem, she still knew the standard armor of the family warriors, which was somewhat different from the armor of other families in the surrounding area.
