Mercenaries and Adventurers

On the other side, Knight Lanisha had to let Priest Cook heal the broken part of her arm before cleaning and bathing.

The two of them found a place to sit down in the inner hall of Knight Exar's mansion. Knight Lanisa first took off her armor under the service of the maid. Those heavy armor parts made even the two tallest maids among the maids panting from exhaustion. They couldn't imagine how the Knight Lanissa, who looked not particularly strong, was injured on her body. Despite the situation, he walked around wearing so many armors as if nothing happened.

They are indeed worthy of being knights.

You can even easily discuss the details of divine healing with Priest Cook while wearing armor.

The two maids had to find a trolley to transport Knight Lanissa's armor and belongings in batches to the superior guest room assigned to her.

After taking off the heavy and thick armor, Priest Cook discovered more burns on Knight Lanissa, accounting for at least half of her body.

"This injury is very serious!" He said seriously, stroking his beard.

"I need intermediate healing magic to heal your injuries. But intermediate magic requires ritual preparation. I can't use it with my bare hands right now."

Knight Lanisa fiddled with her broken arm and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Just take care of it today. In fact, you can also take care of these injuries after returning to Kendall City. Who knows that Uncle Elisa has to do it?" It’s not a good look to have such a big celebration and then hang up with a broken arm.”

In fact, she didn't want to accept the favor of the Church of the Warrior Hall too much. After all, compared to the gods related to fighting, she still liked the gods behind the church who were quieter and more elegant. Her early schooling experience as a girl has always influenced her.

Even if she herself is a landed aristocrat supported by force.

Priest Cook seemed to have understood what Knight Lanisa had not said, so he did not insist anymore. After all, he was only on good terms with Knight Elisa, and was arranged by the superior church to contact the Imperial Border Knights north of Hekou Town. Although I am quite optimistic about Knight Lanissa who can defeat the Wolf King of the North, who is even more powerful than the Warcraft, and a large group of North wolves.

This kind of brave and tenacious young knight is the master of the warrior hall he serves, and the God of War loves to admire him most.

It's a pity that he came into contact with this female knight too late. If he could have known her earlier, he would have been able to participate in the opponent's crusade. Not only can he use his abilities to effectively support this difficult operation, but he can also guide a young and brave female warrior to a wider world.

Shaking his head, he used the dagger he carried to pick apart the sleeve stitching on the female knight's arm, and took off most of the sleeve without damaging the dress itself.

These are all little tricks that wounded warriors have mastered for a long time when dealing with their injuries. After all, some warriors themselves have a high status, or the clothes they wear are expensive. This technique can allow the opponent to find someone to sew the sleeves back again later, and It will not damage clothes and avoid some unintentional financial losses.

Most of the female knight's arm under the sleeve was bruised, and the broken area was swollen more than other places.

He squeezed the female knight's fingers.

"Do you still feel it?"

Knight Lanisa twitched her lips: "A little bit, numb."

Pastor Cook nodded: "It's okay if you can feel it. This means that the broken place has not completely blocked the blood vessels. At least some of the blood vessels flowing into and out of the arm are still working normally. Many people's limbs are injured. In the end, there was no careful examination, which delayed the treatment. After a long time, even if the injury is healed, the strength of the entire arm will be affected."

He asked Knight Lanisa to put her arms on the table beside him, and then his hands raised a dim yellow light and formed a ring around the broken part of Knight Lanisa. Priest Cook closed his eyes tightly, letting divine power take over his eyes, and carefully examined the broken bones, muscles and blood vessels of his arm.

Soon, he opened his eyes: "As expected of a knight, the broken bone has grown by less than half, but you didn't handle it correctly at the time, and there was some misalignment. This will affect your future performance."

"Do you want to break it off again?"

The female knight asked seriously.

The priest nodded: "Break it off. The speed of my magical treatment far exceeds the healing ability of your knights. One arm has a broken bone, a few blood vessels are squeezed and broken, and the muscles are damaged. These are not serious injuries."

After Knight Lanissa heard this, she shook her shoulders.

The shoulder drives the arm, and the force of the swing is transmitted inside the body, directly tearing off the half-healed broken arm again.

There was a click.

She caught the flailing arm and brought it to Father Cook.

"please."

Priest Cook smiled wryly, shook his head, and then began to formally use magical treatment.

He first used his fingers to draw an imaginary emblem of faith in the gods on his chest, and then began to chant.

"My Lord, the God of War, determines that the man before me is a brave man."

"During the hard battle, I suffered from injuries to my limbs."

"Although you do not protect the warrior, you should still reward him with healing and make his limbs intact so that he can achieve glorious results again."

As soon as he finished speaking these brief words, a dim divine light fell from the top of the inner hall and penetrated the house, enveloping both Knight Lanisa and Priest Cook.

This divine light did not appear from nothingness in the sky. Instead, it rose from Priest Cook's temporary residence in Bayou Town and was projected in the sky.

These divine powers from the gods were guided by Priest Cook, swirled and surged around the two of them, and then dispersed into Knight Lanissa's severed arm.

They guide the sides of broken bones back into place, replace and repair muscles and reattach them to bones, clear congested blood vessels, and fill broken blood vessels.

Not only that, they also poured into Knight Lanisa's broken arm. These divine powers activated body tissues that had been lacking nutritional support for a long time, allowing them to re-enter Knight Lanisa's control.

Part of the last remaining divine power turned into a small reward from the gods to Priest Cook, and entered the priest's body. The other part poured in from Lanissa Knight's arm, entered her body and turned into the purest energy ready for use.

If these energies were held by ordinary mortals, they could at most make their bodies strong and immune to diseases for a short period of time. But if it stays with a knight-level warrior who has control over the energy in the body, it will be directly used to support the opponent in the fierce battle after treatment.

This is a battlefield magic that combines healing and combat continuation.

Knight Lanissa had been watching the magic being performed just now. At this time, the magic was completed. She shook her palm and found that her arms were as flexible as before she was injured.

Seeing that Knight Lanisa wanted to try clenching her fist harder, Priest Cook quickly stopped her.

"Although our Lord's magic has healed your broken arm, you have just recovered from the injury. This is not a battlefield, so don't force it to use it. Let your arm rest for a night, and your arm will completely adapt. , it will be fine the next day.”

Knight Lanisha thanked the priest who asked for nothing in return, and Priest Cook just smiled and didn't say much. The two chatted for a while, and then a maid came over to tell Lanisa that the washing in the knight's guest room was ready, and asked her to rush to wash up as soon as possible.

Knight Lanissa said goodbye to the priests in the Warrior Hall and went up to wash up.

Kil watched the blacksmith clean their weapons in the front yard of Knight Elisa's house.

The hunters' bows were quickly processed. The blacksmith simply took off the bow strings and wiped the dried blood splashed on the bow strings with warm and wet linen cloth. Then he used a dry cloth to carefully clean each bow body. Wiped it down.

Wipe away any stains on some corners of the bow.

The same was true for Knight Lanissa's armor-piercing rapier, but because he was pressed for time, he did not open the slender scabbard of the rapier and clean the inside thoroughly. Instead, I used a slender wooden bar with a small piece of wet cloth tied to one end and stretched it in for a simple treatment.

Originally, the blacksmith wanted to do the same with Kil's hunting sword, but when he grabbed the sword, he immediately felt the weight of the sword.

But it’s not like he can’t pick it up.

As soon as he grasped the scabbard of the long sword, he felt a sense of repulsion, which surprised him. After taking a closer look, he discovered that the originally inconspicuous wooden shell of the scabbard had something faintly invisible to the naked eye. The glimmer of light flows.

"Good material."

He was so impressed.

"Of course, I spent a lot of money when I bought it." Kil leaned aside and said casually.

Hearing that Kil was the owner of this weapon, the blacksmith smiled slightly: "But there are also many powerful weapons that have passed through my hands. When the knights of the Knights pass through Hekou Town, they sometimes ask me to help them deal with their weapons. Sidearm.”

The blacksmith grasped the hilt of the long sword that was resisting him and pulled it out, but failed to pull the sword body out of the scabbard.

He didn't care, and casually handed the sword hilt to Kil on the side: "Pull it out and thank you."

Kil saw everything that just happened and was quite surprised. He didn't expect that his weapon had such ability. In his hand, he grabbed the weighted ball at the end of the sword hilt and pulled it out, then pulled out the sword with a clang.

The blacksmith didn't care, seeing that Kil himself was a little surprised, while explaining to Kil, the owner of the weapon.

"Some weapons kill too many creatures, and this will happen in most cases. Some warriors don't like this situation, while others prefer it. It depends on what the owner of the weapon requires of their weapon."

"Kill the living beings?" Kil muttered in a low voice.

"But if the weapon does not come into contact with the owner for a long time, or if it is not used for a long time, these slight 'spirituality'? This is how my father described it, these slight spirituality will soon dissipate. Later. Use them to defeat the enemy, and I heard that the spirituality will be reawakened. However, it is still not the spirituality of the original weapon, so it is difficult to say for sure."

Having said this, the blacksmith wiped the blade of the hunting sword with a wet cloth and chuckled.

He saw that the body of the Kir long sword had a special texture and was not afraid of rust. So I just wiped it with a damp cloth and set it aside to dry. The inside of the scabbard is also treated the same as the previous armor-piercing rapier.

After everything was done, he wiped his hands and handed all the weapons to Kil next to him. He couldn't wait to go out from the side door of the mansion's main entrance to participate in the celebration.

Kil re-packed the hunter and hung it on his waist. Then he walked back with the weapons that he had simply cleaned up, and exchanged the hunting bow with each of his fellow hunters.

As for the armor-piercing rapier of Knight Lanessa, without seeing the knight himself, Kil held up the sword and asked the maid in Knight Elisa's house.

The maid took him to the door of the guest room, told him that Knight Keir himself was inside, and asked him to wait outside.

After waiting for a while, the clean Knight Lanisa walked out of the guest room wearing a young men's swordsman uniform. Several maids behind her were following behind with frightened expressions on their faces, holding various clothes they had changed into before.

Kil knew what was going on, because even though Knight Lanisa was wearing a men's swordsman's uniform that was tightly wrapped, the large area of ​​skin extending from her neck to her chin was covered with thick calluses.

It looks quite scary.

"My lord, your sword." Kil handed the sword over, and Knight Lanissa casually hung the rapier on the belt of the swordsman's uniform with the previous severed hand.

Kil noticed the healing of the knight's broken hand. He didn't expect that such a broken arm injury could be cured so quickly.

It's incredible.

Knight Lanisa touched the burns on her neck and chin with her fingers, and asked if Kil looked too scary.

Although Hekou Town is not her territory, and it doesn't matter what the people here think of her, she still doesn't want people to talk about related topics too much.

Facing this kind of question, Keir had no choice but to answer vaguely with a frown on his face.

"Everyone and I don't think it's strange. After all, it was an injury sustained in a hard battle. But the people might be a little afraid." After saying this, Kil hinted at the maid next to him who was always serving Knight Lanisa.

"It would be nice if I could find something to cover myself with." Speaking of this, Kil had an idea: "For example, a big animal fur scarf? A scarf?"

Knight Lanisa's eyes lit up and she looked at the maid accompanying her.

The maid bent down and said, "I'm going to ask Madam for instructions. Please, sir, please go to the inner hall with me and wait."

So they waited in the inner hall of the house.

Knight Lanisa found a place to sit. Naturally, Kil didn't dare to sit down, so he stood next to her. Knight Lanisa asked the others and learned that the other hunters had gone to the square to eat and drink. She nodded and said, "Have a rest today and set off again at noon tomorrow."

Soon, the previous maid came back with an exquisite wooden box.

The wooden box was a bit big, but looking at the maid holding it lightly, she knew that the contents inside were very light.

"This is Madam's snow fox fur scarf. Madam said that she can temporarily lend it to Sir Knight Lanisa. However, Madam doesn't like the excitement, so she will not participate in the celebration. Madam, she said, I wish Sir Knight Lanisa her great revenge."

"Is it necessary to avenge a great enemy?" Lanissa Knight chuckled bitterly and picked up the blue and white fox fur scarf in the box.

This scarf is very light in weight but not small in size at all. It was made by plucking the fur of a whole snow fox very carefully. Kil glanced at it and found no damage to the fur on the scarf. He immediately realized that the craftsman who made this exquisite costume cut the fur from the fox's mouth. The entire fox body is removed from the inside.

However, after the scarf is made, the fox's mouth is sewn from the inside. Ingeniously, in order to prevent the empty eye sockets from being uncomfortable, the craftsman used two thin round sapphires to install them in the fox's eyes.

After Knight Lanissa fiddled with it for a while, with the help of the maid, she wrapped the entire scarf around her neck.

The fox's body is filled with something very light but fluffy and warm, so when the buckles on the fox's front paws and hind paws are closed together, the entire scarf looks like a little fox lying on Lanissa Knight's neck. The upper ball formed a circle. The fox's fluffy blue and white fur covered most of Lanissa Knight's face, but it did not block her eyes.

The maid looked at the inside of the wooden box she was holding towards Lanissa Knight. It turned out that there was a mirror installed inside the lid of the wooden box.

After checking, Knight Lanisa took Kil out of the house and came to the square outside.

Kiel and the others quarreled with the people of Hekou Town for most of the day, and did not return to the guest room prepared for them until late that night.

At noon the next day, they bid farewell to the lively Knight Elisa and drove the carriage across the ice of the Kendall River to the ferry on the southwest side.

Speaking of which, the ferry here is actually part of the town of Hekou Town. The ferry on the southeast side, on the other side of the Kendall River, also belongs to Hekou Town.

So in terms of area, Hekou Town, which is divided into three parts, is really big.

After crossing the river, a caravan from north to south happened to pass by. The people in the caravan were not the big caravans that Kiel knew, but the other party clearly recognized Knight Lanisa, so they joined the team with them, and everyone walked south to Kendall City together.

It stands to reason that in this winter season, there are basically no dangers on the roads in Kendall County north of Bingshuguan, but for the caravans, it is good to get a little cheaper.

Knight Lanisa does not object to the behavior of caravans. Her territory still needs these merchants to help circulate supplies.

When the merchant at the head of the caravan was camping at night, he learned of Knight Lanisa's success in a few moments from the hunters, so he immediately ran over and gave Knight Lanisa a gift under the pretext of congratulations.

The gift is not a physical object. After all, the caravan outside cannot bring suitable gifts except for the goods to be transported, so the gift is a gift list written by the merchant. Taking advantage of the opportunity of congratulations, the businessman negotiated a part of the deal regarding Umi Lake with Knight Lanisa.

The hunters were not interested in this, and instead told the caravan guys about the highlights of the expedition.

Kil, on the other hand, didn't care about the stories they repeated many times in the past two days, and listened to the details of the transaction between Knight Lanisa and the merchant.

The two of them did not discuss in low voices.

It turns out that Lanisha Knight plans to reclaim the long-abandoned large fields around Umi Lake Village in the coming spring. The farmers have not used the relevant tools for a long time in the past two years, and they are either rusted or damaged. So Knight Lanisa handed over the relevant trade directly to this clever businessman.

She asked the other party to prepare the agricultural tools needed by at least 300 people on time when the ground thawed after spring. The price was that she allowed the other party to open a small fishing pier in Wumi Lake Village.

After traveling for more than a day, their group finally saw the tall city of Kendall.
