Chapter 372 Waking up
A strong sense of nausea and headache suddenly hit me!
Hmm... It seems like vomiting!
The young man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
A ray of light came into view, dispelling the endless darkness.
So dazzling! He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.
Uh...where am I?
The young man's mind was in chaos, and his headache and nausea did not subside.
He shook his head. The pain in his head became more intense, but it made him sober.
There was a shaky and blurry figure in front of him. There were other people here, and he subconsciously became alert.
"You're awake..."
It was a female voice, with half joy and half worry in her words.
"You are..."
The young man's brain is blank, where am I? who I am? Who is the person next to you?
There was a gentle touch on the head, and the female voice said worriedly: "Nathan, take a good look at me, you don't even recognize me anymore?"
Nathan? So familiar, ah, this seems to be my name.
Yes, my name is Nathan, and I am a member of the Secret Order...
Like rows of candles, all kinds of information lit up one by one in the young man's brain.
This woman is... He held back his headache and tilted his head to look.
The eyes gradually focused, and the blurred figure became clear.
"Well, Mom...it's you who are here."
"Phew, you are really worrying..."
The woman standing by the bed relaxed, and her tone was also Not as full and dignified as before.
Nathan asked: "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Including the time on the ship, it has been about a week, right?"
"A week? How come it's so long."
"You suffered a heavy blow to the head."
"It seems like this...Where are we?" Nathan felt his right hand My face and temples still hurt.
"The secret base in Jiaowan is the same one you set out from." The woman asked solemnly: "What happened to you, and how did you end up like this?"
" Our fleet at that time..."
"I already know about the fleet's defeat. I'm asking about your situation. Edward's people said that when they noticed you, you were already unconscious on the deck."
"Well... ..." Nathan closed his eyes and tried to recall the scene before he fainted.
“I can’t remember clearly, it seemed like something passed by me, and then I fell unconscious. Ah... Judging from the opponent’s attack method, it should be a big iron ball Right."
"Big iron ball?" Mother was very surprised.
“Yes, an iron ball accelerated to a terrifying speed is about this big.”
He raised his hand into a fist.
“The speed is so fast that even if your eyes can catch its trajectory, your body will not have time to react.”
The woman was extremely surprised. She tried hard to recall all kinds of weapons knowledge in her mind. "What kind of weapon is this? A ballista? A slingshot?"
Nathan shook his head, "No, it's definitely not any weapon we know. It should be a newly invented one. But, with my Cognition, I really can’t think of any way to give objects such powerful power. Unless it is..."
The woman followed his guess and said: "The caster...there is a spell caster on the other side's ship?"< br>
"Well...this is the only explanation I can think of."
"This makes sense, but what method did the opponent's caster use? There was no direct hit, just a blow. It's so powerful just walking by. The world of magic is really vast." Nathan struggled to sit up, and the woman quickly held him down.
She said in an unquestionable tone: "Lie down and don't move. This time you will be lucky."
Nathan said dissatisfiedly: "It's all I've been lying down for a week...well, why is my head still dizzy and my ears are still buzzing?"
The woman explained: "After a person is hit hard on the head, he will usually have these symptoms and even lose some memories. The brains of us spell casters are more fragile and sensitive than ordinary people. Ordinary people can recover after about two weeks of rest. Normal, and you... have to take a month off."
"A month?" Nathan laughed at himself: "Haha, I have never experienced such a big failure."
He was angry. He swore as if: "Hmph, Graiman, I must make you look good."
"What did you say?"
A shocked voice rang in my ears.
He turned to look at his mother, only to see her as if struck by lightning, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief, and her body seemed to be shaking slightly.
Nathan asked strangely: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
The woman was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react. She asked worriedly: "Nathan, what did you say? What does 'Gleiman' mean?"
Nathan explained: "Huh, I'm just guessing, but there's a high probability that we were defeated by King Qin's fleet heading south from the northwest bay. The fleet was flying a flag with a red flying dragon pattern. "
When the word 'red flying dragon' was mentioned, the woman's body trembled visibly.
"When I went to the West Port of the Aldo Kingdom for reconnaissance, Edward told me that a ship with a red dragon flag belonged to the Gleyman family in the northwest bay. I think it is basically certain that the Qinwang fleet is the so-called Gleyman family. Sent by the Lyman family. Haha, I haven’t heard of this family, but I think it’s a certain lord from the northwest bay.”
He was surprised why his mother had such a big reaction, with a puzzled expression. Look at her.
I saw my mother saying as if to herself: "How could it be? The Graiman family has always been low-key and never stood out."
"Mom!" Nathan shouted , "Do you know anyone from this family?"
The woman raised her head and saw the confusion on her son's face. She instantly returned to normal and said in a calm tone: "Well... that's right. I'm not following Have you ever mentioned that before you could remember, I took you to the Northwest Bay? This family... has an old friend of mine."
"Oh, that's right." Nathan gritted his teeth, "But now this family is our enemy."
The woman's face darkened: "Shut up! Nathan, listen to me, you can't Treat the Graiman family as enemies, and don't tell others about the role of the Graiman family in this matter."
The young man looked aggrieved and said dissatisfied: "Why? I almost died. In the opponent's hand! If the iron ball had been just a little bit higher, half of my head would have been gone!"
The woman said solemnly: "The Graiman family... is more than just acquaintances! So simple... He is kind to us, mother and son."
"Uh... That's it."
Nathan choked. With such a past, it was really hard to do anything.
“What kind of favor is it?”
“I don’t want to mention it anymore. Anyway, just remember my words.”
“Well, you are really grateful. A good man who wants to be rewarded.”
Nathan agreed, but his mother didn’t want to mention it anymore, probably because it was about the wizard’s identity. In the circle of spellcasters, he has heard stories of ordinary people helping wizards, such as helping them hide their identities and avoid secular persecution and church pursuits.
These are very few examples, and they cannot change Nathan's contempt and hostility towards mortals at all. But it is precisely because of its rarity that such kindness is so valuable.
“I can let it go, but I’m not the only one who knows that King Qin’s fleet belongs to the Grayman family. Edward knows that he told me about the red dragon flag.”
Woman pulls He said with a face: "Just take care of yourself. From now on, you can stay in Jiaowan and do your work, and don't get involved in the affairs of Aldo West Coast."
"I listen to you...but it's really not right. Don't worry, it's the first time I'm in such a mess, and I almost lost my life. If I hadn't been kind to us, sooner or later I would..."
The woman interrupted him: "Huh, what? It's just a different stance? , if you didn’t like to be in the limelight, would you be in such trouble? You would ignore my usual words..."
Seeing that his mother was preaching again, Nathan begged for mercy again and again.
