Looking at the dilapidated shack in front of him, Claude sighed: "You are asking for trouble. After saving a young mage, you still have to come back to skin her bear..."
He ran back and forth twice in one night, then treated the injuries of the young mage, wrapped her internally and externally with bandages, then applied medicine and bandages to the big black wolf, and then took a bath himself. It can be said that Claude was busy all night
.I specially cooked beef oatmeal porridge in the morning, and added some blood-tonifying herbs to it to replenish the body of the young mage.
It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the morning that the young mage woke up. Claude thought she would ask why she was here, whether Claude had saved her or something. But what he didn't expect was that the girl with a hot forehead was still there.
The mage's first words after waking up were bear, bearskin, I want bearskin...
Before Claude could figure out what she meant, he went over and said that the black bear that attacked her had been killed by her, and the body was in her shack. He rushed to the witch because of Black Wind's report.
The woods rescued her, and now she is in her room in the Squirrel Village camp. Among other things, she needs to heal her injuries first. If she hadn't brought her back by herself, she might have lost too much blood.
And die.
Only then did the young mage realize that she was in a strange place. She looked at the tight bandages on her body and asked Claude with a cold face if he had taken off the clothes on her body.
Claude spread his hands helplessly. He had no choice. The soldiers in the camp were all men. It was better to ask the medical soldiers to come over to help treat her injuries and bandage them than to take advantage of it. After all, he and she knew each other. Besides, the situation was urgent and he wanted to save her.
I didn't think much about her life at that time...
The young mage immediately lifted the quilt to get out of bed, looking for her own clothes, saying that she was going back to the witch forest. Claude couldn't laugh or cry, you are dying, aren't you? You can't even stand, you're dizzy and you're trying to hold on.
Ah, just lie here and recover from your injuries before going back. I can't help her with her wounds, so I can't ask others to help. I don't mean to take advantage of her.
The young mage said it was not for this reason. She wanted to go back because she wanted to deal with the killed black bear. If she stayed here and waited to recover from her injuries before going back, the black bear's body would be rotten and useless...
Claude pushed the young mage back onto the bed. It's raining so hard outside. Why are you so crazy? You want to go back and dispose of the black bear carcass. You're confused. It's just a black bear. When the injury is healed, I'll accompany you to kill both ends.
I'll give you the black bear. The village elder of Squirrel Village said that there are many black bears in the forest behind the Witch Wood.
However, the young mage insisted on going back. She said that the black bear carcass was very useful to her. The bear skin, bear bile and bear bones were priceless treasures to her. In the end, Claude had no choice but to tell her that the worst he could do was to make another trip.
Skin off the bear skin and bring it to her, as well as the bear bile and bear bones...
Perhaps because her body was really weak, the young mage found that she really couldn't stand for long. She was exhausted and felt dizzy, so she acquiesced to Claude skinning the bear, and only stopped Claude when he was about to go out and told him
She must skin the bear in the same way as the old bear skin she put under the table, so that the skin will be useful.
Fortunately, the rain subsided at noon, so Claude brought beef oatmeal to the young mage and then prepared to set off for the witch forest. Originally, the big man Gimi wanted to follow him, but Claude asked him to stay and help McJack.
Taking care of the young mage, there was such a big black wolf in the room, and Michael didn't dare to go in alone. Besides, Claude was also worried about the big man Gimi following him, which would make it difficult for him to do some things, such as casting spells and so on.
Claude brought two mountain pack horses. These short horses are very stable when walking on mountain roads and have strong endurance to carry heavy loads. They are the main livestock for mountain people to carry and travel. There are six mountain pack horses in Claude's camp.
The next time McJack went to the camp headquarters to get supplies for transporting them. This time Claude went to the Witch Woods. What he wanted was to skin the bears and bring the bear meat back to add some fresh meat to the camp. Anyway, it was only now.
During the rainy season in March, the weather was still very cold, so the bear's carcass would not be damaged at all in one night.
During the day, he could see the mountain road clearly. Claude led two mountain packhorses and it took him three rough hours to reach the Witch Wood. He tied the reins of the two horses to the woods to take shelter from the rain, and Claude entered the shack by himself.
.
The good news is that there is no water in the shack. Because of the high terrain, although the rainwater poured into the shack, it was still mixed with the blood of the black bear and flowed into the surrounding open space. The things inside the shack are still the same as they were last night.
What De saw when he left was roughly the same. The only change was that the green vines wrapped around the body of the black bear on the ground had disappeared. It seemed that the vine wrapping technique cast by the young mage was still effective, but I didn't know if it could persist.
How long.
The smell of blood in the shack is very strong. After all, the black bear on the ground is very huge. Claude estimated that it weighs six to seven hundred kilograms. It is simply a giant. The young mage was attacked by such a huge black bear last night and was able to kill it.
, which is already quite remarkable.
The reason why Claude insisted on not bringing the big guard, Germi, was that he needed to use magic hands and precise control to skin the black bear corpse, just like how Madam Maria taught him how to use these two spells.
Separate the skin and membrane of the Niros crocodile specimen and make it into a standard rune paper. If you don't use magic, let alone skinning, you can just turn over the giant bear's body.
Lord tortured him to death.
First cast the Pearl of Light and let it float on the shack, illuminating the room. Then find the rolled up bear skin from under the broken table. This should be the suit used by the young mage to pretend to be a black bear. From this bear
Judging from the size of the skin, the original owner should be a big black bear that is not inferior to this giant bear on the ground. However, Claude noticed that this bear skin should have been there for a long time, and the fur on the back had fallen off in many places.
, there are still a lot of damages that have been patched together. At first glance, it seems to be very complete, but if you look closely, you will find that the entire bear skin is very tattered...
Recalling that before he set off, the young mage Qian Dingzhuwan had told him that when skinning a bear, he must peel it according to the specifications of this old bear skin. Claude felt strange. Could there be any secrets about this old bear skin? He looked carefully.
Only then did Claude realize that the skull and four bear paws of the old bear skin were intact, except for a two-foot-long crack in the chest area, which was like the entire skin peeling off, and the flesh, blood, muscles and bones inside were completely torn apart.
Dig it out.
It seems that he can't eat the bear's paw, but isn't it too troublesome to skin it like this? Does skinning it like this have a special purpose for the young mage... Claude thought about it and picked up the bear paw of the old bear skin and looked at it carefully.
, then I discovered that the sharp claw tips on the bear's paw could still be freely retracted, bright and sharp, as if they were still on the black bear's body.
Just be troublesome. Fortunately, Claude knows the two spells of Magic Hand and Precision Control. If he had to use the knife himself, he would have to be busy here for a day or two according to the old bear skinning method. Now it is much easier.
. After casting the magic hand, the body of the black giant bear on the ground was easily turned over.
The cause of the black bear's death was that a black iron spearhead full of gaps was inserted into the heart of the white crescent moon on its chest. Obviously, the young mage wrapped the intruder with vines, and then held up the black iron spearhead.
The spearhead was inserted into the heart of the giant bear. Before it died, one of the giant bear's claws broke free from the entanglement of the vines and gave the girl mage a hard blow. However, the girl mage retreated quickly, avoiding the danger of being disemboweled.
The three half-foot-long claw marks were left on his chest, and he eventually fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss...
Claude remembered the second time he brought his things to the Witch Wood. At that time, he saw the young mage skinning a small squirrel with the black iron spearhead. He reached out and slapped his forehead twice.
If he hadn't broken the young mage's spear, the young mage wouldn't have had to fight the big black bear up close with the black iron spearhead.
He brought food, clothes and tableware to the young mage, but he forgot to bring her a sharp weapon for self-defense. Perhaps because of the fierceness of the young mage when they first met, he didn't even think of this problem. In fact, just look at the situation in the shack.
I can understand that this black iron spearhead should be the only metal weapon around the young mage. Although it is sharp, the blade has many gaps, so that when it was inserted into the heart of the black bear, it failed to achieve the effect of killing with one blow. Instead, it caused the giant bear to die.
It broke out and broke free from the vines, causing damage to the young mage.
Fortunately, the big black wolf reported that he had rescued the young mage. Claude calmed down, used his magic hand and precise control, and transformed a magic hand into a sharp butcher knife. According to the words spread on the bed,
The old bear skin accurately made cracks of the same length on the chest of the black bear corpse on the ground...
An hour later, a new bear skin was born that retained the skull and four bear paws. Claude took the bear skin to the open space and let the rain wash away the blood inside. Then he cast a spell hand again,
He picked out the bear bones from the large pieces of bear meat and put them in a linen bag he brought. As for the bear bile, he had already put it in an empty bamboo tube.
This time Claude brought a lot of linen bags. Anyway, with two mountain draft horses, he could bring back all the useful things on this giant bear. There were three hemp bags packed with elephant bear meat and bear chops.
In total, it weighed more than three hundred kilograms of meat. The large bones removed also weighed more than a hundred kilograms. Adding in the intact bear skin and the blood loss, Claude estimated that this giant bear weighed nearly six hundred kilograms.
Very accurate.
After cleaning up the giant bear, Claude looked at the messy shack and thought that this place could no longer be inhabited. Not to mention that the wooden walls were broken, and there was only blood and flesh on the ground.
Offal can easily attract a large number of snakes, insects, ants and the like. Now the open space around the dilapidated shack is filled with stagnant water, and insects and ants cannot get through. When the rain drops and the water seeps into the ground, the shack will become full of worms.
It was a gathering place for ants. Claude couldn't clean it up even if he wanted to. The blood of the black bear had seeped into the ground of the shack. Unless he dug three feet into the ground, he couldn't get rid of the smell of blood.
Besides, the young mage and the big black wolf have already been taken to the camp to recuperate from their injuries. It is impossible for them to come back and live here during the rainy season. In addition, repairing the wooden walls of this broken shack will have to wait until the weather clears in April. In this way
I thought Claude might as well clean up all the useful stuff in the shack, wrap it up with the fur blanket on the bed and put it in the innermost compartment, and then put everything the young mage could use.
He stuffed it into the linen bag he brought with him and prepared to take it back to the young mage.
After leading two mountain packhorses on the mountain road in the heavy rain, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to the camp. Fortunately, McJack had boiled hot water early and prepared a bathtub, and was waiting for Claude to come back to take a bath.
He ordered the big man Germi to unload the eight linen bags from the two mountain pack horses. The three linen bags containing bear meat and steaks were placed in the hall on the first floor. The bear meat was marinated in the evening, and the remaining five linen bags were placed in the hall on the first floor.
Take them all to their rooms.
When Claude took a shower and changed into clean clothes, he returned to his room and found that the big man Gemie had brought five sacks over. The young mage was still lying on the bed, as if she had just woken up, her face was red.
He leaned sideways on the pillow, while the big black wolf sniffed around the five sacks. There were bandages on his head and back, which looked extremely funny.
"Are you awake?" Claude walked to the bed and touched the young mage's forehead. It was still a little hot, but it was much better than when he woke up in the morning: "How do you feel?"
"You, are you back?" The young mage wanted to get under the quilt a little shyly, but she lacked the strength to do so. She just tried hard to lift the quilt. She didn't know what she was thinking just now, and she was so distracted that Claude didn't even come in.
Know.
"Then, that bearskin..."
"It's been peeled and brought to you." Claude pointed to the five linen bags: "Don't worry, they were all peeled off like your old bear skin, and there are no differences. In addition, your shack has been
There is no one to live in, so I packed it up and brought you all the things I thought were useful and put them in these linen bags."
"No, it's impossible..." The young mage was surprised: "You, how could you peel it off so quickly, and come back now after noon... I, I want to get up and take a look, help me, I don't have the strength...
