Chapter 128: A Cry for Help - V (2/2)

It was a hideous sight, but both Merlin and Callisto had the saered expression on their faces, while everyone else showed disgust

"They're cultists, goblin mutants" Callisto said as she inspected the other one, noticing similar features "But ould they only send out fodder if they've set up such an elaborate golere so far east? This doesn'twas cut short when one of the reserves approached and i, he seemed to be somewhat panicked "Excuse me, do we have any more medicine available? There are too ht"

"I'll take care of it" Merlin stood up and began following the ranger to the new group of wounded, leaving Callisto and the other rangers to talk He borrowed a couple water skins and used up roughly two hundred rams of falsofal, but eventually everyone had been healed

As he helped the last person drink the medicine he provided, he received a notification

「You've been granted the title, "The Philanthropic Pharht to himself as he opened the title up to read its stats, 'Did it perhaps count the eency care quest too?'

• Healing effects for crafted consumables: +5

• Charisuess it ht as he swiped the information ay

Merlin approached the last person who lent him their waterskin, he made sure not to use too much of one waterskin so that they still had water left to drink, so he borrowed several of them

He received several thanks as he checked up on the people he healed, and eventually enough people were h to carry or support those who still couldn't, including the few rangers who had lost their lives

"We'llup" Callisto ordered, "Take whatever supplies you can They'll just go to waste otherwise"

The group beganout of the teroup continued h to move on their own, until it was just a few seriously injured who required being carried or supported, and the dead

The group began resting at the town, they began scavenging the houses, searching for anything they could possibly use

Most of what they harvested were consumables, there were food items, barrels and bottles of alcohol, a very sparse amount of medication But besides food, there were a few tools and weapons that could be looted,tools and kitchen utensils

"Can you store any of this?" Callisto asked Merlin as the rangers began e

"Unfortunately no There are specific require to be stored, and it's finicky at the best of ti his head

"Well it looks like we're carrying it all" She said "Alright everyone, start picking up anything you can carry and then letsleather backpack and started loading it up with as roup all picked up anything they could carry Those eren't as wounded carried the most, while those who could barely stand on their oeren't given rouptheir way to town due to all the injured rangers, so after thirty minutes had passed, they were barely half way

"Two failed expeditions in a row, I'roaned as they et Tuli to send ers to inform each expedition teaer a safe location"

"Not to mention, I'll have to put up with that damn baron, he's most likely heard about his useless son's fate by now" She mumbled "I should just shoot hihed as they continued on their way Fortunately it didn't see worse, so they eventually made it back to the city, a little over an hour after they left the town

As they uards, Callisto's face cruain, always ready to judge" She muttered under her breath, barely audible to the point only Merlin and a couple others around her could just hear it "damn vultures"

As they walked past the crowd, Merlin could hear faint whispers talking about another failure, and he even heard a couplea particularly hideous audy clothes that were clearly three sizes too slare
