"Is that you? Black Wind..." Claude rushed towards the big black wolf.
The big black wolf whimpered and growled in a low voice, leaned down, and was ready to attack. It wasn't until Claude ran in front of him two or three meters away that he took off the hood of his poncho and exposed his face.
The big black wolf relaxed his guard.
Seeing that it was Claude, the big black wolf stood up and jumped back, about to run into the forest. But it ran a few steps, looked back at Claude, and kept whimpering from its mouth.
Anxiously digging in the mud on the ground...
"You mean to let me go with you?" Claude's heart sank. It seemed that something had really happened to the young mage, otherwise the big black wolf wouldn't have come to find him in such a hurry.
"You lead the way..." Claude said.
The big black wolf is really very understanding of human nature. It seemed to understand what Claude said. It turned around and ran. While running, it looked back at Claude. Its meaning was very clear, and it wanted Claude to follow it up the mountain.
Run away.
It was okay in the mountains and forests. Most of the rain falling from the sky was blocked by leaves and branches. It felt like the rain was not heavy, and I could vaguely see the direction and scenery in front of me. But when I came out of the mountains and forests, the heavy rain poured down, and I almost blinked.
If you don't open it, even if you are wearing an animal skin poncho, the oncoming rain soon soaks Claude's clothes along his face. Wearing the poncho is almost the same as not wearing a poncho. The only thing that can start to work is
Block the cold wind mixed in the heavy rain...
It was difficult to walk on the mountain road, especially on such a rainy night. It was impossible to see anything ten steps away. Claude cast a Pearl of Light and held it in his hand, barely illuminating the way forward. Sure enough, the road ahead was bright.
The direction the black wolf took him to was the witch woods where the young mage was.
The Pearl of Light, which could originally illuminate indoors for one and a half to two hours, gradually dimmed within half an hour of being held by Claude, until the magic power completely disappeared. This is not because Claude's magic power is not enough, but because
Under the wash of heavy rain, the magic power solidified into the magic talisman array disappeared very quickly, just as the elemental photons that made up the magic mark were taken away by the falling rain, speeding up the disappearance and dissolution.
If it weren't for the big black wolf leading the way and howling from time to time to remind Claude to pay attention to the road ahead and guide him in the direction, Claude could guarantee that he wouldn't be able to reach the witch forest even if he ran all night. Going into the mountains on a rainy night like this
, most likely to get lost in the mountains and forests.
I don’t know how many times Claude has fallen. Most of the time he slipped on wet mud. After rolling on the ground a few times, his whole body was covered in mud, but when he stood up and walked dozens of steps, it was washed away by the rain again.
It was clean. It wasn't until Claude finally climbed up the small ridge that he breathed a sigh of relief, because the witch forest had appeared in front of him.
He almost rolled down the ridge. Claude was so embarrassed that he poured a lot of rainwater into his mouth. He took a few sips and came to the edge of the woods. He naturally cast an Exploring Eye. He just used
After using this spell, Claude found that the woods he saw were exactly the same as other woods. They were all dark and there was no longer any magic mark.
Slapping his forehead, Claude felt that he was thinking too much. It was impossible for the young mage to set up any magic traps in the woods in such rainy weather. The magic marks had been washed away by the rain, and it was impossible to save anything.
Magic traps are just like the Pearl of Light that you cast. Magic traps that will disappear in a short time are not necessary to set up in the woods on such a heavy rainy day.
The impatient whimpering sound of the big black wolf came from the depths of the woods. It didn't know when it had run in. Claude cast a Pearl of Light again, held it in his hand, and rushed deep into the woods. Soon it was
After rushing through the woods, he arrived at the muddy clearing. Just as he expected, there was no light in the shack under the big oak tree. It was dark and quiet, but the smell of blood became stronger the closer he got...
Claude kicked open the broken wooden door of the shack and threw the Pearl of Light in his hand. Claude was stunned by the scene inside shown by the white light.
The wooden wall with a small window in front of the broken table on the left side of the shack has completely collapsed. No wonder the big black wolf was able to get in even though the door was closed just now. There was a huge black bear lying on the ground, with dense tangles on it.
The green vines are covered with green vines, and the blood from under the black bear's body is mixed with the rainwater pouring into the shack. The smell of blood is tangy...
The young mage lay on her back on the bed made of piled wood, her body covered in blood and motionless. The big black wolf stood beside her, lowered his head to nudge her, as if he wanted to nudge her off the bed, but she still
There was no response. The big black wolf looked up at Claude with a begging look in his eyes.
He kicked the black bear lying on the ground and found that it was dead and all the muscles were stiff. Claude breathed a sigh of relief and stepped on the black bear's body to the bedside. He first reached out and touched the forehead of the young mage, feeling a little warm.
, leaned down again and put his ear to her chest to listen. Fortunately, he could hear a faint heartbeat. Only then did Claude feel relieved. After taking a closer look, he found that the young mage's chest was still bleeding.
.
At this moment, Claude no longer cared about the difference between men and women, and directly reached out to peel off the sack leather jacket she was wearing, which was made up of various small animal furs. After peeling it off, he discovered that the young mage was still wearing the clothes he had given her.
The men's linen underwear given to her, but now the off-white underwear has been dyed bright red by blood. Claude saw that there were still three deep claw marks on the underwear, which must have been stepped on by his feet.
The masterpiece of a dead black bear, blood is seeping out from these three claw marks...
You said you are a female mage, why are you engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a black bear... Claude could only shake his head and tear open the broken underwear, revealing the young mage's white and smooth body. I saw that the left side of her chest was already covered with blood.
On the large protrusion, there were three claw marks about half a foot long from top to bottom. The skin was torn and the flesh was torn, and blood was flowing.
Claude subconsciously touched his pocket, but unfortunately, he didn't bring his backpack when he went out at night. He only brought a military bayonet and nothing else. But now the young mage is seriously injured.
In addition, he was in a coma due to blood loss and could not be awakened. Claude didn't know if there was any medicine in this shabby shack...
He stood up and searched on the broken table. Apart from food, there was nothing like medicine for injuries. He remembered that there used to be a shelf on the wooden wall with five or six small jars filled with medicine. Claude was about to reach for it.
, only to discover that the wooden wall has collapsed, and the shelf has flown away. Looking at the huge black bear on the ground, you will know that this guy is the culprit of the collapse of the wooden wall of the shack, but now it has also used its own
His life atones for his sins.
The big black wolf roared in a low voice and whined from its throat. Claude turned around and found that it was lying next to the young mage, and it was also bleeding. He thought it was rain just now, and he was so wet that he didn't notice it.
.Now there is a Pearl of Light stationed on the den, and Claude discovers that this big black wolf has the same claw marks and blood flowing on its head and body...
"Heifeng, do you know where the medicine is?" Claude had no choice but to turn to the big black wolf for help.
The big black wolf whimpered and stood up, looked at the table, and then lay down again. Well, this meant that there was no medicine at all. Claude had no choice but to find a clean underwear on the bedside that he had given him.
He tore it into strips, bandaged the wound on the young mage's chest, then wrapped it tightly with the blanket on the bed, then wrapped the animal skin poncho that he took off around her, and finally found hemp rope to tie it around himself
on the back.
"Heifeng, there is no other way. I have to take your master back to treat her injuries. Can you still hold on? If you can, just follow me. I can also help you treat your wounds..." Claude
He cast a Pearl of Light again, held it in his hand, and said to the big black wolf lying on the bed before going out.
The big black wolf stood up again, roared low and rushed out of the shack, standing in the rain again. Claude gritted his teeth and rushed out.
This journey was more difficult than when we came. Fortunately, the rain finally subsided a little, and we could vaguely see further. Claude carefully avoided the mud pits and puddles on the ground, trying to balance his body. After all, he was not a person now.
He was carrying an unconscious young mage behind him. The wounds on her body were only roughly bandaged and no medicine was applied. Claude was worried that the journey would worsen her injuries...
But no matter how careful he is, he can't avoid falling. Claude can only try to prevent the young mage behind him from getting further hurt. The clothes in front of him are already a mess in the mud, as if he has rolled in a mud puddle.
.
After finally returning to the camp, the soldiers standing guard in the small wooden house at the gate had changed their shifts. The new soldier opened his eyes wide and finally recognized Claude: "Sir, sir, why are you still going out in such a heavy rain?"
, you, you are followed by a, a wolf..."
The soldier hurriedly grabbed the matchlock gun and aimed it at the big black wolf. Unfortunately, the small wooden sentry box and the nervousness prevented him from quickly putting the long matchlock gun horizontally. At this time, the big black wolf had already walked to Ke
Lord's side.
"Don't panic, this is a big wolf dog that my friend raised to help her hunt. I am carrying my friend now. She was attacked by a black bear. I took her back to treat her injuries. You open the door, and you will do it tomorrow morning
Go to Markchi to receive the punishment yourself. The first reason for the punishment is that you did not hold the musket horizontally while standing guard as required, so that you could not quickly aim and shoot when using it. The second reason for the punishment is that you did not light the match rope. If you are attacked
If you are attacked, you cannot fire back, you are just risking your own life and everyone’s safety!"
Claude's reprimand made the soldiers on guard turn pale: "Yes, sir, it's my fault. I will go to Sergeant Markey tomorrow to receive punishment."
The soldier came over and opened the door. Claude rushed towards the wooden building with the young mage on his back: "Heifeng, follow me."
The big black wolf cannot be left outside. It is better to take it back to the room. Otherwise, the soldiers who got up early in the morning will be frightened and may think that they were attacked by wild wolves and cause a shooting incident. In addition, the big black wolf has injuries on his body.
You have to deal with it yourself, so just let it stay in the room with the young mage.
Claude's rushing footsteps woke up Michael. He opened the door and came out, trembling with fear: "Wolf, wolf..."
Then he saw Claude. Claude didn't talk nonsense: "McJack, go get two bottles of medicine to treat external injuries and a bottle of medicine to treat internal injuries. Don't bring the military ones. Just use the ones you went to town to purchase this time.
The ones that came are of good quality. By the way, there are also bandages and hemostatic ointment.”
Michael looked at Claude stupidly, then looked at the wrapped human figure on his back, and just watched Claude kick open his ajar door and go in, and then the calf
A big black wolf of about the same size also followed in...
McJack, who had been in a daze for most of the day, came back to his senses: "Yes, sir, I will get it for you right away..."
Claude untied the young mage from behind, took off her poncho and blanket, and stuffed her into the quilt on the bed. He touched her forehead and felt a little hot, but for Claude
As long as he didn't die, it would be fine. Pointing to the fireplace, the big black wolf consciously lay down in front of the fireplace.
Amidst the approaching footsteps, Mike's voice sounded outside the door: "Sir, can I come in?"
"Come in." Claude said.
Mike came in with a first aid kit, looked at the big black wolf lying in front of the fireplace, and then at the young mage lying on the bed.
"She is the daughter of a hunter and lives in the mountains. She has raised this big black wolf, named Black Wind. Last time I went up to the mountain to meet her, this time her home was attacked by a big black bear, and she was seriously injured.
She was injured, and Black Wind ran to me. I heard the howling of wolves and went out to take a look. Black Wind took me to where she lived. Only then did I find that she was injured and unconscious, so I brought her back for treatment.
Do you have any other questions?"
Claude made a preemptive strike. These were all excuses he had thought up on the way back.
"But, sir, I heard from the villagers that there is a witch living in the back mountain..." Michael Jack said indifferently.
This guy seems to have gotten some information from the villagers.
Claude's face darkened: "Do you think she looks like a witch? That's something the villagers rarely see. She and her family went into the mountains to avoid the baron because they could collect herbs and make ointments.
The villagers didn't know and thought she was a witch. Besides, she raised a wolf cub and asked Black Wind to help her exchange ointment for food. When the villagers saw it, they became more convinced that they were dealing with a witch. This is how the rumors came about. You understand.
?”
"Ming, I understand." Michael Jack handed over the first aid kit in his hand blankly.
"Okay, go out and put a bathtub for me in the next room. Heat the hot water. After healing her and Hei Feng's injuries, I'm going to take a bath. After you're done, go to the kitchen and cook some beef bones.
Give it to Black Wind, this guy doesn't eat raw food, only cooked food." Claude ordered.
"Yes, sir." Michael replied standing at attention.
