After returning to Southwind Fortress, Victor and other adventurers were placed in the Temple of Life.
This is a small temple with a stone and wood structure, with only a chapel, four rooms, a dining room and kitchen, and, well, an underground tomb.
Pastor Arne and two temple guards occupied two rooms, and [Delayed Justice] occupied one, which naturally included Victor.
There is another room used by another adventurer team, and John seems to know their captain, and even chatted with them when they met on the way back to the temple from the teleportation array.
It is worth mentioning that Tia has recovered!
It's the kind of energy that is full of energy and the limbs are intact!
This was Faerun's magic, and Victor even "scanned" his left arm several times with his sense of sight.
The result of his observation was: there was no difference from the original one, even the calluses on his hands were the same!
The barbarian girl didn't pay attention to the naked man's gaze.
"Hahaha! John! We are rich! A red dragon is worth tens of thousands of gold coins! I will definitely buy Frank's heirloom armor this time, hahahaha!"
Tia's hearty laughter echoed in the temple, and everyone could feel her excitement.
Frank is the dwarf blacksmith in Waterdeep City, and Tia has been coveting the armor in his shop for a long time!
"Please keep quiet! Adventurer!"
A female temple guard came out of the kitchen and scolded Tia in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Tia immediately covered her mouth with both hands, but she couldn't cover her excitement. Victor could still see her smiling eyebrows and flushed face.
——Like a snickering child, a 1.98-meter-old child.
The temple guard glared at her again, and she put down her hands without making a sound.
"Dear Guardian of Life! May the morning light always help you pierce the darkness! Is Pastor Arne still in the temple?"
John's tone was calm and steady, and the paladin was obviously very good at dealing with clergy.
"Apostle of Dawn, may your life force be always active in your body!"
The temple guard calmed down his anger and said to John in the same tone:
"Priest Arne has taken a rest because he used the temple to use high-level magic to treat several adventurers.
He has received notice from the Archmage before, and he will send you to the Mountain Tower tomorrow.
Here is some food. He estimated that you and this strong warrior would not have time to have dinner, so he asked me to deliver them!"
"Oh~ I will personally thank Pastor Arne tomorrow, and also thank the patron saint of life!"
The paladin was a little surprised by the priest's concern, but did not refuse.
The temple guard nodded with a smile, handed the package to John, and after looking at Victor for a while, turned and returned to her room.
It is rare for humans to grow so tall. Even advanced [barbarian] professionals, many humans are not 2.38 meters tall. Victor's height, in that world of great navigation, can only be said to be... average
Like!
At this time, "Tall Warrior" Victor withdrew his gaze from the room opposite.
In his perception, there were a total of seven people in that house, which was the adventurer team that the captain and John knew.
Just when Tia mentioned "tens of thousands of gold coins", a person immediately rushed to the window and peeked over. After Victor looked over, the figure disappeared immediately!
——That is invisibility in the true sense, the kind that cannot even be detected by sight or smell.
This aroused Victor's curiosity, and at the same time let him know that in this magical world, domineering is not omnipotent!
"Don't worry about the Fire Hunter team, [Double Blade Allen] will take good care of them!"
Allen is the leader of the adventurer team.
What could Victor say? He could only nodded, and then followed Tia into the room.
This room was unexpectedly large, with eight large beds, one each for Satara and the businessman Tom.
Dorso sat next to Tom with his legs crossed, studying something, and didn't care about the return of the paladin and the others.
"John, how much did that dragon cost?"
Tia asked in a hurried tone immediately after closing the door.
The paladin was stunned for a moment. The dragon corpse was taken away by Master Yiwen, and he didn't know if it was handed over to the Archmage. He forgot to ask about this because he was derelict in his duty as the captain!
——The paladin regards money as dirt!
"We will discuss this matter with the Archmage tomorrow!"
John replied with some embarrassment. The paladin's oath does not allow him to lie!
Tia was a little disappointed after hearing this answer, but she didn't say anything. She just took an elf cookie from Victor's phone and ate it.
She hasn't stopped her lavish fantasies yet, you can see it just from her glowing eyes!
Victor chewed the food provided by the elf. His evaluation was: it tastes good and is still filling - it provides more than three times the energy of the same amount of meat!
The dinner without meat was a bit bland, but he ate it happily.
Although every shot he makes has amazing destructive power, he also needs to consume a lot of energy.
Even with [Life Return] to speed up digestion, he would need to spend a long time eating a lot to replenish energy after each battle.
This was also a shortcoming that he considered himself to have. While eating, he was also thinking about how to use Faerun's system to solve this "problem" - he vaguely remembered that "eliminating grains" was not a difficult task.
"Hi! John, when are we going to discuss magic?"
Victor asked suddenly while eating.
"Now? I suggest we come back to Misty Town to talk about this topic. It would be more appropriate for Shatara to explain it to you then..."
He said while brushing the curly hair from Satara's forehead.
But then the sorceress suddenly opened her eyes - in fact, she had already woken up.
Shatara stared blankly at John with eyes as bright as the moon.
"Sarah, ha, you woke up, how do you feel now?"
The paladin's hand froze for several seconds, and finally he could only ask stiffly.
"Master Steve's ritual worked. It's just that the awakening spell was a little unexpected. There's no big problem!"
It wasn't until the dull paladin stared at him that he blushed and turned his head away, then Shatara said in a weak tone:
"Also, thank you, Lord Victor! As soon as I return to Mist Town, I will explain Faerun's magic to you in detail!"
The somewhat pale sorceress had a charming smile on her face.
Victor, the former King of the Sea, understood several meanings from the phrase "thank you".
"Haha! It's nothing. There's no need to rush. There won't be any problem in a few days!"
Victor waved his hand and looked at Tia.
Tia shrugged helplessly...
What is this atmosphere of breaking first love where you want to refuse but welcome again?!!
Apparently, John's previous words "I'm responsible for everything" were known to Shatara.
Hey! A grown man in his thirties is still shy, tsk tsk tsk!
Victor was quite speechless.
"John, come and take a look! Something is wrong with this profiteer!"
This is Doso's voice.
The businessman Tom was almost forgotten at the seaside. Fortunately, the halfling Dotho remembered him, hiding in the cave and shivering.
It is worth mentioning that the halfling also brought back the [Teleportation Circle] that fell in Haiti. He had just been "appreciating" the staff without speaking.
Maybe there's also a reason to look after poor businessman Tom...
Tom was frightened by Maxima's dragon power, and then was almost hit by Victor's sword that "cut off the cliff".
The blood of the red dragon dripped along the gap in the cliff and white smoke erupted from the entrance of his cave. The smell of sulfur almost made him stop breathing!
When he was finally brought to the cliff, what he saw was a bloody red dragon corpse that was divided into four pieces. The intestines were leaking, the blood vessels were messy, and the heart was missing - that was almost the most bloody and terrifying scene that poor Tom had ever seen in his life!
A dragon was dismembered before his eyes!
On the way back, no one paid attention to him, and no one comforted his injured heart. This caused the businessman who had been tortured for a long time to be too frightened.
The current situation is: restlessness, elevated body temperature, restless sleep, talkative nightmares, cold sweats...
——That means you have a fever
Fortunately, the paladin changed the subject and immediately walked over. His action made Shatara curl her lips.
A golden light flashed, and Tom, who had been frowning, talking nonsense and sweating all over his body in his sleep, regained his composure.
Second Ring Magic [Secondary Restoration Technique]
After confirming that the merchant's breathing was stable, the paladin took his hand away from his forehead.
This magic requires contact release and can immediately dispel a variety of negative conditions on a person, including disease, poisoning, and blindness.
This man would rather touch the forehead of a greasy middle-aged man than put his hand on Satara's head. Is there really something wrong with his sexual orientation?
Victor thought to himself, and then he touched his chest again.
What kind of existence will tomorrow's Archmage use [Limited Prayer Technique] to summon, and what method will that existence use to remove the shrapnel from his chest?
For him, this world has so many unknowns, so many possibilities, so fascinating...
Thinking of this, Victor smiled expectantly...
We'll know that tomorrow, this night won't be too long...
ps: I don’t recommend giving me rewards, and I don’t encourage them. I said writing books is just a hobby, and I don’t make money from it.
