Chapter 185 (2/2)
Max glanced at the scattered corpses of the half-dragons drooping ast the rocks, then bent down to meticulously examine his wounds Most of his skin on the shoulder had been scorched, revealing a layer of red muscle Out of habit, she reached out to rest her hand on the wound, but it was held back by Hebaron
“Don’t touch it The Lady’s hand will burn too”
“T-then it will have to be washed right away”
Max instructed apprentice knights to bring soh the water touching the wound ht clenched his jaw and endured the suffering
“It would have been a huge trouble if the lady did not coed to sh her coht, who still acted so relaxed even after suffering from a severe injury As the burn healed cleanly, the tensed muscles on his shoulders visibly relaxed
“Thank you Looks like I’ll still get to live for a while”
“If you’re feeling fine already, hurry up and rearain once all the ons There’s no knohen those things decide to be a nuisance”
Hebaron pointed at the harpies perched on the cliffs The day’s light shone against the backs of the harpies; their faces appearing chillingly eerie that it seemed to turn their blood cold Max desperately averted her eyes fro and looked through the rehts to see if anyone else needed treatment
Fortunately, the others were fine and did not sustain any injuries Riftan ashi+ng off the blood splattered on his ar the half dragons’ chests, collecting their mana stones
Max watched with a puzzled look She knew that the dragon subspecies sold for a high value, but she didn’t understand why they took the time to collect monster parts when they were in a hurry to rescue the expedition team who preceded them
“Do…we really have to take the h it is a waste to leave it…we are in a h-hurry…”
“We’re not collecting it because it will be a waste to leave it If the corpse was left alone as it is, the rey and turn it into an undead According to the old doctrine, the corpses of monsters must be purified by fire However, realistically, it is impossible to incinerate ic, so the mana stones shall at least be removed”
“They will take care of the bodies”
Riftan approached, dripping ater Max scanned hi soaked fro off blood, he looked completely fine He swept his wet hair back and stared at Max without saying a word for a aze to the cliff
“The harpies followed us waiting to scavenge the corpses of the half-dragons Once we leave, they will be busy devouring them”
“So, they won’t coh possibility that they will cling to us and wait for us to provide their nexton the cliff as if they were annoying flies “However, we’ll have to go far enough that they won’t be able to follow I don’t intend to be bothered by those pesky hyena-like creatures”
He spoke coldly and pulled Talon’s reins
“Ri-Riftan… are you hurt anywhere?”
“I’auntlets that he had taken off Max sprinted past hi to force him to look at her
“Riftan… are you s-still htened to a line She could feel his sharp eyes sweeping her dirty face, messy hair, dusted, and wrinkle clothes she had worn two days in a row Max blushed and folded her arood thing… that I ca It has only been two days… since we departed… and someone was injured…”
“We will move immediately” He cut her off harshly “I don’t have tiht away”
“Let’s talk for at least a m-moment…”
“Didn’t you want me to treat you like a wizard, instead of my wife?” He spoke bluntly as he mounted on top of Talon “It was you who insisted on joining the expedition, even though it was against my will Then you must follow the colared at his sharp face that rapped in shadows, then turned around to take Re their interaction, chuckled aardly and reasoned out for Riftan
“It’s because the day started with a massive battle The co when there are htest bit of carelessness can lead to death, so we all have to be vigilant like wild animals”
“I…d-don’t ht That person is ht now, and I am his izard, so I must obey his orders”
Max proclai sure Riftan heard her, but he simply looked over his shoulders once with the same indifferent face Max was dejected and stood in her place in the ranks
