Chapter 7 (1/2)
With the last bit of strength, he pulled the long sword out of the robber leader's body. The panting Loren couldn't even stand still and sat aside holding the wound on his left shoulder.
Although there was no more bleeding, the wound on the shoulder was still hot and painful - the preparation was sufficient, but the battle was still dangerous to a certain extent. The cunning robber disguised himself so well that he didn't expect such a guy who was afraid of death to be so powerful even if he was crazy.
This is the first time Loren has killed a man himself - although his fingers are still shaking, his body doesn't respond much, and he doesn't even feel vomiting. Am I born for this? He thought of it with a little self mockery.
”Well... Are you, are you okay?”
Ayn Rand, who came over behind him, hesitated, staring at some ferocious wounds on Lauren's shoulder: ”if you don't ask, the wound on your shoulder may be inflamed.”
”Nothing. Don't worry about this little injury... You see, it's beginning to scab.” Lauren said with a calm smile: ”I was born like this. No matter what injury I suffered, I'll recover quickly.”
”That won't work, at least wrap it up a little,” insisted the little wizard. He took a roll of white bandage from his robe and wrapped it up for Lauren without waiting for an answer.
”Er... Thank you.” some unexpected Loren suddenly didn't know what to say: ”ah... By the way, I haven't thanked you yet - if you hadn't changed the play... I mean magic, I might not have won so easily.”
Ayin, who had just expressed concern, suddenly had a cold expression. His bandaged hands suddenly forced. Loren's shoulder immediately pulled, and he almost cried out in pain.
”You didn't intend to let me intervene from the beginning. You lied to me about the” most critical moment ”, didn't you?”
”What?”
”Lord Loren Turin!” the angry little wizard stood up and walked up to Loren, stared at him with wide eyes: ”I, ain Rand, I'm a wizard apprentice of vimpal college, a student appointed by the Dean, and a future alchemist. Don't treat me as a fool!”
”I'm sorry.” Lauren apologized quickly, put his hands together and nodded. ”You're right. I've planned to do this from the beginning. I know it's selfish, but please forgive me.”
With that, he looked at each other ”sincerely” and said nothing.
Somehow, the little wizard couldn't bear to look at him, so he had to sigh - especially when he saw the wounds and blood all over Loren.
Anyway, it was the other party who saved himself. Ain is not a person who doesn't know how to repay his kindness. If Lauren didn't appear, he might really become a substitute for the robbers, and then
”Can you still stand up?” Ai Yin still couldn't help asking with concern, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: ”if I can't, I can hold you.”
The little wizard was better than he thought... Lauren couldn't help laughing at the bottom of his heart.
”Thank you, but no need.” holding each other's hand and standing up, Loren carefully inserted the old knight's sword into the scabbard and carried it behind his back: ”we'd better leave this damn place quickly. I don't want to stay for a quarter of an hour.”
After that, Loren's eyes shifted to the front - the missing wooden door appeared in front of the two people again, as if waiting for them to leave.
”OK...” the little wizard also nodded. Although he wanted to continue to investigate this place, it was obviously beyond his ability limit that the pagan Temple eroded by the void could distort the reality.
”But what about them?” ayin pointed to the robbers around who were still tempted by gold and treasure. They were still like a group of madmen. Even some people began to lose their strength, and their shouting voice was hoarse, but they were still excited, dancing and repeating what they had said before again and again.
”Let them continue to live in their dreams.” Loren shook his head. ”After all, no matter who they are, they have the right to dream, don't they? This is the best dream for them.”
Even Lauren doesn't believe this, but it's the best choice for him - even with ayin, they can't beat so many robbers, so it's better to let them live and die here and ”revel” until the oil runs out and the lights run dry. They deserve it anyway, don't they?
