Chapter 70 Alive!
Petty and Volaf split up and Raven sat in the medical room, looking at Simon and Barry without saying a word.
Without any belongings, the map may have been lost. Now Raven only hopes that one of the two of them can wake up and provide information about the Bloody Highlands.
Soon, Lux came. She was wearing a heavy cotton coat. When she entered the door and saw the two people lying on the bed, she exclaimed: "Lord of Light, what happened to them?" ?”
“Can you cure them?” Raven asked.
"It's hard to say, let me observe first." After saying that, Lux took out the medical kit she carried with her and began to observe the situation of the two people.
After a lot of work, Lux shook her head and exclaimed: "Oh my god, I don't know how they survived."
"The situation is serious?" Raven's heart skipped a beat.
"Well... long-term hunger, fatigue and cold have made the two of them very weak, almost like two dead people!" Lux's eyes were filled with surprise: "Especially this Simon, A normal person would have died long ago, but it is a miracle that he can survive until now!"
Leaven asked slightly nervously: "Then, can they still wake up?"
Lux said word by word: "This one I don't know the name of. He is less injured and in better shape, so although he will sleep longer, he is not in much danger."
"As for Simon...he was more seriously injured and consumed more." Lux paused and said with hesitation, "...if he doesn't wake up tomorrow morning, he may never wake up."
Heard. This statement , Raven's expression became more solemn: "Can't you use divine magic to treat it?"
"With my current ability, I can only deal with external injuries. There is nothing I can do in their situation." Lux frowned slightly: "They two are very important to you?"
"Yes." Raven did not shy away: "If they can wake up, my losses can be reduced a lot."
< br>
"...So the rumors are true." Lux suddenly said: "Are you really going to attack the Bloody Highlands?"
Raven raised his eyebrows, but he didn't feel much surprised by this.
There is no airtight wall. Now that Eagle Castle is operating at full speed, the truth of the matter cannot be spread.
“We will set off in four days.”
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Lux’s eyes: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
"...I don't want you to worry too much," Raven said.
"Okay." Lacus pursed her lips: "Then I'll go back first."
With that said, Lacus walked outside.
"I'll see you off." Raven stood up and followed him.
"You'd better stay well." Lux glanced at him: "Anyway, I'm not as important as your 'great cause'."
"By the way, if these two people can wake up, they must not eat too much, especially Simon. At most, half a piece of white bread, plus a bowl of hot soup, otherwise it may exceed the capacity of the stomach. Instead, something will go wrong.”
While speaking. , the two of them had already walked out of the medical room. Just as Raven was about to explain, Mosingan's voice had already sounded: "Lord Baron, I heard that Simon and the others are back?"
"Oh, Priest Lux! "Finding that there was another person standing next to Raven, he quickly saluted again.
Lux drew a holy symbol of the Lord of Light on his chest, nodded and turned to leave.
Just as she stepped out of the gate, Eric and others rushed over and asked about Simon.
After listening to Raven's story and seeing Simon's state, several people were silent and their faces were gloomy.
Especially Mosingan and Volav, they were soldiers who joined the army at the same time as Simon. They stirred up the same pot. They had a very deep relationship with each other and the most worry on their faces.
I wanted to spend more time with my comrade, but I was afraid of disturbing his rest, so I could only fidget at the door.
"It's so miserable, so miserable..." Mosingan murmured in a low voice: "How could this happen? Only two of the five people came back, and when they set off, they didn't bring any of the ten horses with them. Come back!"
"Eh... don't talk about it, I have a headache." Volaf sighed: "Even if you keep talking about it, it's already like this."
"I know it's useless, but I'm just worried." Mosingan sighed: "You said this boy is young, let alone his wife, he has never even touched a woman, how come..." < br>
“Don’t think about the things that are and are not, Simon is not dead yet.” Volaf rolled his eyes at him: “If you ask me, you If you really feel bad for him, why not hold on to your strength, wait until you get to the Bloody Highlands, kill a few animals, and avenge them!"
Goyle and Link stood aside, silent and saying nothing. Although I was quite dissatisfied with Simon's "rocket climb", this thought has now been completely eliminated.
The same is true for Eric. Previously, Simon had complained about a "black case" against him, which had always made him resentful. Now that he saw Simon who was so thin that he was almost inhuman, this resentment had disappeared.
Only Raven is the calmest at this time, not because he doesn't care about Simon's sacrifice and life and death, but because he knows that it is useless to be anxious at this time.
After ordering the kitchen to prepare food, Raven was about to go to the dungeon to practice the spell again. The door of the medical room suddenly opened and a maid came out: "Baron, Mr. Simon is awake!"
Eri The five people led by Ke stood up straight together. Mosingan and Volaf even wanted to rush in immediately, but immediately stopped.
"I know, you all go out." Raven said.
The maid nodded and called the sisters in the room to leave. Raven was the first to walk in, followed immediately by the other five.
At this time, Simon had just opened his eyes and looked weakly at the ceiling. He was a little confused for a moment and didn't know where he was.
There was a haze in his ears, and his body felt as hot as if it was on fire, but the flames made him extremely comfortable, and he almost forgot the bone-chilling cold when he was lying on the ice and drinking in the snow.
Suddenly, the hazy feeling was broken by the sound of footsteps, and an extremely familiar and kind voice sounded: "Simon, are you awake?" "Baron, Baron...?" Simon's eyes showed real joy, but his voice So weak that he could barely hear himself.
The dagger-like face of Baron Raven came into view. Simon held on to the bed and was about to get up, but his sore and weak arms were completely unable to support his body. He was just hanging in the air. To fall back.
"Be careful!" Raven immediately put his arms around Simon's shoulders. The touch was as hard as stone and the weight was as light as cotton.
Slowly putting Simon back on the bed, Raven said in a deep voice: "You don't have to salute when you are like this."
"Yes, just lie down well. Coming back alive is better than anything else!" Mosingan said.
"Hey, you are so lucky. How many women want to be hugged by the Baron." Volaf said.
"That's awesome, man." Goyle hooked Link's shoulder and the two of them gave a thumbs up: "The perseverance is amazing!"
"Well done!" Eric was concise and to the point.
"Lord Baron, Mr. Eric, everyone, I..." Simon's eyes suddenly turned red, two lines of hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his lips murmured:
"...I'm finally home again. , I finally see you!”
After these words came out, the air was slightly silent, and the eye circles of Mosingan and Volaf even turned red.
Simon swallowed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked eagerly: "Barry, how is Barry?"
"Don't worry, he is still alive." Raven glanced at the bed next to him: "He's still asleep and hasn't woken up."
"That's good...that's good..." Simon was obviously relieved.
"What on earth did you encounter?" Volaf couldn't help but ask: "How come there are only two people left?"
Hearing this, Raven dug hard. She glanced at him, then turned to Simon and said, "Don't worry. Now that you've woken up, you can talk about anything. You need to eat something and have a rest tonight. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"It's okay, Baron. "My lord, I can hold on," Simon said through gritted teeth.
"No!" Raven said forcefully: "I don't want you to finally crawl back and die on this bed."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Lord Baron, what you ordered has been done."
"Come in." Raven said.
The maid came with a dinner plate, and several strong men gave way. It seemed that someone was saying something, but Simon could no longer hear the voice clearly, because all his attention was being focused on Attracted by the closer aroma.
It was the rich aroma of wheat, as well as the aroma of steaming, fragrant broth, which had haunted him in dreams for the past month.
A spoon was handed to his lips, and Simon bit the spoon in his mouth. Regardless of the hotness, he greedily swallowed the spoonful of broth into his stomach. This force was so strong that even in silver There were clear teeth marks on the spoon.
Spoonfuls of broth fell into his mouth and fell into his empty stomach, filling his body with a sense of warmth.
From time to time, a piece of bread will be brought to my mouth.
Gradually, Simon regained his senses. When he saw the person in front of him, his heart was shocked and his eyes filled with tears: "Lord Baron...this is really...me..."
Because it was Raven who was feeding him!
The latter said: "Eat."
Simon nodded slowly, with tears in his eyes, and ate the food bit by bit.
"Okay." He threw the spoon into the empty bowl: "That's it for today. You have to rest first. We'll talk about the specific process when you wake up tomorrow morning!"
"Well... Thank you, Lord Baron..." Simon said.
Leaven had heard this kind of cliché a lot, but the weight of what it said from Simon's mouth was particularly heavy. He nodded and led the team away.
Almost full, tiredness struck again, and Simon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Simon woke up early, but Barry, who lived in the same room, was still sleeping.
Just after breakfast, Raven rushed over with Eric and the others.
"No need to salute." Raven sat next to Simon and stopped his actions: "How are you feeling today?"
"Much better, Lord Baron..." Simon thanked Raven's concern, and then raised his voice: "I have something to report to you!"
"Don't get excited, speak slowly." Raven said softly.
"Well..." Simon nodded, but all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing his confusion, Raven said lightly: "Let's start from the time we entered the Bloody Highlands."
"Okay!" With a clear direction, Simon's thoughts It became clear, and he said: "When I first went there, I didn't encounter any problems because I was well prepared. I also followed your instructions and recorded the route on the road, marking water sources, forests, etc."
“Due to the need for surveying and mapping, it took us twelve days to reach the outskirts of the Bloody Highlands. Due to the transfer of horses, only one third of the supplies were consumed.”
“ But to our surprise, the bloody highlands are not as deserted as we imagined. There are still oases and settlements in it, and the nearest one is called the 'Bilgewater Oasis'."
