Chapter 136
The sharp cry of a younger woman pierced via the evening. Healers have been woke up one after one other, some not even bothering to placed on garments earlier than dashing out of their tents:
“What’s occurring? What’s occurring?!”
“Corpsecorpses!”
The priestess screamed along with her eyes closed. As a healer who had been on the battlefield, she should not have been so startled by a corpse. Nonetheless, the scene earlier than her was too stunning, catching her fully unprepared.
Excessive Priest Hilde, the younger genius she had admired and pursued for a very long time, was half-leaning over a corpse. The sunshine from the Illumination Spell shone from the facet, casting his good-looking face in a half-light, half-shadow, with a barely distorted expression. As if that wasn’t horrifying sufficient, each his palms have been pressed collectively on the corpse, shifting up and down, up and down…
To not point out that there have been two folks mendacity on one other corpse close by. One was urgent the chest of the corpse, adopting the identical posture as Excessive Priest Hilde, shifting up and down; the opposite, much more frighteningly, knelt on the head of the corpse, nearly nose to nose with the lifeless physique…
Double the visible affect, double the horror.
Garrett checked out Excessive Priest Hilde, raised his chin, and signaled, “Take care of your mess your self.” Excessive Priest Hilde gave him a wry smile, climbed up, and tentatively tried to consolation:
“Caroline, you”
“Do not come close to me, ahhhh!”
The piercing scream was too intense. Within the priest space, folks have been waking up one after one other:Up to date from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m
“What’s occurring? What’s occurring? Corpses? Somebody died?!”
A gaggle of clergymen rushed over, peeking and searching. Virtually on the similar second, within the close by mage camp, there was a sudden explosion. A tent exploded into items, and fragments flew within the air, catching fireplace in mid-air. Below the tent, an aged voice angrily shouted:
“Who’s it! Who’s screaming in the midst of the evening! Made me shake, and all my potions exploded!”
Uh…
Garrett sweated profusely. The scream simply now was a bit too loud, no marvel the alchemist’s palms have been shaking. However, sir, what sort of potions are you making, nitroglycerin?
Nonetheless, the chain response didn’t cease there. With the explosion within the mage camp, cries of alarm echoed within the surrounding army camps:
“Enemy assault!”
“Enemy assault!”
“You?” Depend Norman frowned barely. He glanced round, and the nobles who have been disturbed in the midst of the evening had gloomy faces, the indignant outdated alchemist, and the stern-faced excessive priest of the Temple of Springs. Elder Heath of the Quenched River Temple checked out Garrett with concern and heat, seemingly protecting.
Properly, it is an accident anyway. Simply deal with it casually, give everybody an outlet. Depend Norman thought this fashion, cleared his throat, and stated:
“Because you’re prepared to take duty, you…”
Earlier than he received to the principle level, a sarcastic voice abruptly sounded from the gang:
“What’s unsuitable with training on corpses? Making a giant fuss! So melodramatic! Scaring everybody to loss of life, yelling round, inflicting bother for others!
Little Garrett, in case you’re upset, come to our facet. Black Crow Swamp has loads of corpses so that you can play with! Do not thoughts these clergymen!”
A necromancer walked proudly, with a skinny face manufactured from pores and skin and bones, trying round arrogantly. Garrett smiled bitterly, “Mage Lin…”
Depend Norman’s face darkened. Not distant, the excessive priest of the Quenched River Temple, who was additionally the general commander of all
the healers this time, had a depressing face and cleared his throat:
“You”
“Little Garrett, how about you alter your camp first?” Elder Heath Elder spoke with a delicate and nice tone, preempting the excessive priest:
“Tomorrow, a staff is heading north in the direction of Grim Bay. Comply with them and see if there’s something you possibly can assist with.”
This was equal to sending him to a secondary camp.
He could not keep in the principle camp, having fun with good foods and drinks, and treating two sufferers at any time when he needed. As a substitute, he needed to observe a staff, march rapidly, and probably face battles.
The environment instantly eased a bit. The indignant outdated alchemist, the nobles with darkish faces, all relaxed. Solely Lin raised his eyebrows:
“However”
“Thanks, Elder. I am going to go tomorrow.”
Garrett bowed barely. Excessive Priest Hilde, him with guilt on his face, and Mage Lin, who had handed via the gang, grabbed Garrett’s arm:
“It isn’t your fault, however it’s a must to bear the duty! Come, come, come to my place! I am going to choose some protecting objects for you!”
