Chapter 381: Take All Opportunities!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

With Rockham in trouble, Link couldn’t stay indoors anymore. He could feel that this was an opportunity!

After thinking, Link took out his finished magic sword. Placing it in the sheath, he ordered, “Stay here and don’t open the door for strangers.”

“I know. We’re not kids,” Riel answered.

Taking the sword, Link left the house and jogged to Rockham.

When he got close, he saw Rockham lying on a stretcher. He was covered in blood. There was a bloody hole below his liver. The bleeding had mostly been stopped blood was still seeping out slowly.

Rockham was being taken to the round tower by two slaves. When he saw Link, a weak smile appeared on his pale face. “Heh,” he laughed at himself. “I’m old now and got stabbed by that bastard without realizing.”

As far as Link knew, there were no priests or healing spells in this world. If Rockham’s wound wasn’t treated properly, it could be fatal.

The apprentices stood in the courtyard, watching from afar and muttering amongst themselves.

“It’s karma for this money-slave. I think he’s going to get it this time!”

“I’m afraid the Bloody Butcher will find another stingier Magician after he dies.”

“How can he teach us magic if he’s so injured? He promised to answer my two questions last week.”

They just watched without doing anything. Rockham was too stingy and mean to them usually. Of course, Rockham didn’t need them; he had many slaves. Seeing Link beside him, he said, “You don’t have to come. I won’t die.”

Link took down his wooden case with the sword. “Tutor, actually I already finished the sword and was about to give it to you.”

“Ah, you finished so quickly.” Rockham was surprised, but he quickly smiled. “Follow me then, but you’ll have to wait. My wound still needs to be treated carefully… Ah, that damn bastard was so cruel!”

Link followed Rockham’s stretcher all the way to the round tower. When he passed by the slave yard, he looked inside subconsciously. It was empty. The slave girls didn’t come out to practice today.

They quickly arrived at the tower. After entering, the stretcher was taken to the second floor and inside a spacious bedchamber. Rockham was placed on the bed.

The doctor that had followed them went forward. He cut open the bloody clothing with practice and started treating the wound. The doctor’s methods were similar to surgeons from earth. He cut open Rockham’s wound and used very thin thread to sew the injury to Rockham’s internal organs. Then he sewed up the cut quickly.

After around twenty minutes, he was done with sewing. He also poured some blue medicine on it. It sizzled softly, and many bubbles appeared.

Rockham grunted and his body tensed. Five seconds later, he felt much better and let out a long breath.

“Lord,” the doctor said. “You injured your intestines and bled a lot. You must rest for three months. During this time, you mustn’t work too hard. Otherwise—”

Rockham lost his patience. Waving his hand, he said, “I know. It’s not my first time getting hurt. You may go and tell Balha about my injury. Say that I need to rest but nothing will be delayed. Tell him to not bother me if it’s not important.”

In the Spring Leaf Village, Rockham was a Magic Official. He was responsible for the magic affairs and had high status. This could be seen from how he spoke to the owner of the village, Balha.

The doctor nodded. He collected his tools, left some bottles of medicine behind, and left.

A few pretty elven servants came up. They carefully cleaned up Rockham’s bloody clothes and dirtied sheets. The room was soon tidied up.

During this, Link waited quietly in a corner, but he didn’t waste time. He had a book borrowed from Rockham and was reading seriously without making a sound. When everything was taken care of, he put his book away. He stood up and waited for Rockham with his arms lowered.

Fortunately, Rockham didn’t forget about him. He patted his bed and said, “Come, kid. Show me your sword.”

Link took the sword out of the wooden case and offered it to Rockham with both hands.
