Chapter 390 - I Knew I (1/2)

Roland left a magic beacon outside of Winterwind and then teleported himself to Reed Village.

He was slightly worried. According to the old butler, Reed Cage had come to Winterwind, but he didn’t see Cage or his body in the city. He wondered if the man had returned in advance.

Back at Reed’s small manor, Roland rang the bell again, and the butler came down very soon. He was delighted to see Roland. “Fantastic, Your Excellency. Please follow me. My lord is heavily wounded.”

Hearing that, Roland immediately followed the butler to the master bedroom on the second floor. He smelled the odor of herbs the moment he came in.

A man was lying on the bed palely, and Kaido was weeping next to him.

Roland walked to them.

Cage opened his eyes and smiled at Roland. “Forgive me, but I can’t rise… I’m too heavily wounded.”

Roland lifted the blanket that covered him and saw bandages all over his body. Below the bandages were remains of black and yellow herbs.

“Who gave him the herbs?”

“The mayor,” the butler replied. “He’s the only doctor in our village.”

“Do you have scissors? Cut all the bandages for me.”

The butler hesitated.

But Cage grinned and said, “Listen to him.”

The butler immediately found a pair of scissors and removed the bandages as well as the herbs.

Then, Roland saw the wounds on Cage.

His upper body was full of cuts caused by sharp blades, some minor and some serious.

There were also three perforation wounds. Judging from their sizes and shapes, they were caused by a spear, an arrow, and a sword respectively.

Bright red blood was slowly leaking from the wounds. They hadn’t scabbed over yet.

The perforation wound caused by the arrow was right above his heart. If the arrow had hit slightly lower, Cage probably couldn’t have made it back.

“How about it? Aren’t they medals for a real man?” Cage smiled proudly, but he was too tired and looked miserable.

Roland put on a helpless smile. Then he cast Minor Healing. After the white healing magic power was instilled into Cage, Roland cast Body Fortification on him to further increase his st.u.r.diness. In the end, he cast Hypnosis. Cage was too heavily wounded to resist Roland’s spell. He fell asleep instantly.

Then, Roland left the room, and the butler followed him nervously.

The butler asked worriedly, “Is my lord going to be fine?”

Roland nodded. “He’s fine. Don’t worry, he’s a strong warrior. He could recover on his own even if I didn’t come.”

The butler was greatly relieved.

He was really scared earlier when Cage returned home with blood and countless holes all over his body. His lord seemed to be dying in every way.

Actually, Roland hid the truth.

If Roland hadn’t come, Cage would’ve been weakened and died.
