Chapter 112.2
The following day, I awoke at daybreak, lengthy earlier than the solar had risen.
After ending the therapy, I continued to brew antidote potions since there have been nonetheless supplies left.
I wished to replenish my provides, and the antidote I had been carrying on patrols was used up.
Moreover, there was no assure that there wouldn’t be extra victims.
After making ready myself on the water supply behind the barracks and returning to my room, Morris, apparently noticing I used to be awake, awaited me with breakfast.
As I savored vegetable soup, venison jerky, and exhausting bread, I acquired updates on the present scenario.
Brent and one other guard have recovered and reportedly have their appetites again.
Nonetheless, because of their extended comatose state, the captain instructed them to relaxation for the day.
It appears an adventurer left the barracks yesterday.Comply with the newest novels at novelhall.com
Neither Morris nor I cared about their present standing.
Treating them was only a favor to Brent.
Additionally, the captain appears to need to categorical gratitude and is ready within the room.
Nonetheless, I wished to verify Brent and the others’ circumstances with my very own eyes.
After I talked about this, Morris readily agreed.
Apparently, Brent strictly ordered him to not let me go, so he’s right here to control me.
I don’t plan to flee or betray them.
After ending breakfast, I promptly headed to Brent’s room.
As I approached the room, I heard voices.
There have been two presences inside Brent and a toddler.
“Oh, look who determined to grace us with their presence.”
Brent teased as quickly as I opened the door.
The kid beside him rapidly hid behind his father’s arms, though he was largely seen.
“Present some respect for an actual hero.”
I retorted as I entered.
Whereas Brent was awake, he remained mendacity in mattress.
Upon gently ‘appraising’ him, I discovered no traces of poison and no unusual markings.
His incapability to rise up was in all probability because of a lower in stamina not indicated in his standing.
“Any uncommon signs?”
“Which is cooler, adventurers or guards?”
Oh, one other puzzling query…
“Teo admires the guards.”
Morris chimed in, serving to me out.
Ah, I see.
He admires not the guards per se however his father, who ended up in bother.
Then I got here and rescued him, even made that hero comment earlier.
It’s straightforward to think about how that made him really feel confused, contemplating he was unconscious.
So, Teo—utterly bewildered—got here up with this mysterious query.
With the daddy’s authority and all, sophisticated expressions like which might be exhausting to know.
After a short thought, I spoke up.
“Guards and adventurers have totally different jobs. Guards defend everybody, adventurers assist folks in bother. I can’t say which is cooler, however I believe guards are fairly cool.”
As I responded, Teo started to ponder with a puzzled look.
One’s career doesn’t decide their character; they’re all human beings.
Nonetheless, being a defend for the residents is the guards’ job.
No matter whether or not it’s superb or not, I believe it’s extra admirable than adventurers who dwell as they please.
“Take your time to consider it till you’re satisfied. There’s loads of time.”
I stated, patting Teo’s head earlier than bidding farewell to the daddy and son.
Guided by Morris, I went to see the opposite guard.
They have been in a close-by room, and I might go to them instantly, however their spouse was taking good care of them attentively.
Since I confirmed the poison was gone, I didn’t need to intrude and left promptly.
Subsequent, I used to be escorted to the captain’s workplace and met with the guard captain.
Since Soprick had simply appeared, there hadn’t been a transparent reward set for defeating it.
Due to this fact, he appeared to have rapidly organized one thing and handed me a pouch with a modest quantity of reward cash, apologizing for its smallness.
Though I promised to rescue Teo, it wasn’t on the request of the guards.
Nonetheless, it will be impolite to refuse their kindness.
I thanked him sincerely and accepted the pouch.
Then I introduced up the subject of returning to Selen with the captain and Morris.
