Out of the oak forest, the dense fog finally became thinner, and there were many cases where no skeleton soldiers pursued it. Instead, several wounded people quickly hid in Christie’s manor and went back to the manor to count the numbers, only to find that nearly one-third of the nobles failed to get out of the oak forest and stay in the manor. His guests and maids were frightened by the sight.
Almost everyone in the manor took action to treat the injured members.
At the same time, four guards rode out of the manor and galloped away overnight in the direction of Hailan City …
Chapter 36 Sleepless Night
Thick fog covered the bright moonlight at night.
There are nearly 20 injured nobles and guards lying in the lobby on the first floor of Christie manor villa. Because of the large number of people, many nobles have no retinue in this winter hunting. Therefore, everyone is caught off guard in this unexpected situation. There are more people in the oak forest, leaving blood all the way from the outside of the manor to the villa hall. Everyone hides in the manor in confusion.
Christie’s family guards will hold the villa tightly. When the manor villa was built, the defense ability was taken into account. The four corners of the villa are a little higher than the watchtower. The top of the tower is equipped with standard military crossbows and kerosene. There are also fences around the manor villa to resist wild animals.
Since the other party is a necromancer skeleton soldier and ghost, Darcy Christie immediately ordered the whole manor to be completely lit up, and there were at least a hundred pine torches lit up around it. Although the skeleton soldiers chased the edge of the oak forest and retreated, maybe they would come back soon, and the attendants in the manor also took action one after another, not only to settle down the injured, but also to arrange for his guests.
The whole villa was a mess. Mrs. Christie helped her niece Darcy to appease the guests who were too frightened. Some of them came back all the way. The nobles sat on the sofa in the lobby and rested. Almost all of them walked back and forth from the edge of life and death. At this moment, they were too tired to talk. Put your weapons where you can touch them, and then take a break.
With so many people dead this time, the atmosphere in the hall seems a bit dull.
Leonard swordsmen also sat in the corner of the sofa area. He put a sword in his hand against the wall. He sat there looking a little uneasy. Several times, he looked at Darcy Christie, who was busy appeasing everyone.
Miss Fanny sat opposite him. Compared with Leonard’s swordsmen, this one was much calmer without Miss Fanny. Even if she was just stared at by a ghost in the oak forest, she didn’t scare her. She wore a leather hunting suit and kept looking at Leonard’s swordsmen.
Although Mrs. Christie is very dissatisfied with her, she can hold back her heart because she is a guest of the Christie family.
If Miss Fanny hadn’t just hid behind Miss Huo Yier when she was hiding from the ghost attack, I’m afraid the tax collector Byrd wouldn’t have been cut off by the ghost and seriously injured. Imagine lying unconscious in the hall just now if the tax collector Byrd hadn’t stepped forward. Maybe Mrs. Christie was lying there and looked at her niece with anxiety. Miss Huo Yier’s expression seemed a little dull. It seems that this unexpected incident has dealt a great blow to her. This time, I just wanted to take her to the winter inaugural ceremony, but now it has become worse.
Carl is trying to find a way to join the rescue squadron outside the guard camp. This kind of emergency, the rescue squadron in Hailansa City should be the first to arrive at the Binghu Manor. He was slightly injured in the battle and his arm was wrapped in a bandage with a trace of blood. However, the whole person was in good condition and joined the manor defense workers at the first time after returning to the manor. This positive attitude made Mrs. Christie’s heart warm.
When I think of the death of Baron Llewellyn, the lover of Miss Brenda, Mrs. Christie has a headache. She doesn’t know how to explain this to her best friend when she returns to Hailanza. Among the busy people, she saw Carl’s friend, Knight Surdak, squatting beside the Byrd tax collector, and the Byrd tax collector bandaged the wound again. The saber in his hand gave off a faint sacred light and got the holy light to shine on the wound of the Byrd tax collector. The speed was visible to the naked eye, and the surface quickly scabbed.
If he hadn’t been wearing the robes of the priests in the Temple of Liberty, Mrs. Christie would have recognized him as a fighting god officer in the temple. Now that the archbishop of the temple refused the order of the royal family to go to war in Angel Boulder, all the people in the Green Empire knew that there would be no priests and gods in the temple to participate in the plane war. Mrs. Christie’s first thought was that the saber in Surdak’s hand might be an epic weapon with its own healing light.
In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, Mrs. Christie had more than one person with the same idea, and nearly 20 injured people received simple treatment for the time being. Everyone watched eagerly as Surdak treated the Bird tax collector, hoping that the young knight would be a rescuer. Some injured friends gathered around Surdak and invited Surdak over as soon as he finished treating the Bird tax collector.
Fortunately, Darcy Christie came over to stop this kind of chaos. As the owner of the manor, she explained to everyone that Surdak would treat every injured person, but the specific situation is that the seriously injured person should be treated first. If there is no time to get the treatment from Surdak Knight, please wait patiently.
With Darcy Christie to coordinate this matter, the lobby on the first floor of the villa has become much more orderly.
……
At this time, however, Surdak became the busiest person in the manor, carrying a saber that made people shine with envy and shuttled through the wounded.
It is also convenient for the injured aristocrats not to be carried into the guest room to rest. The waitresses keep bringing hot water to clean the wound. The emergency hemostatic bandage in the manor is limited. This kind of first aid bandage is a must for travel. Most people have prepared it in their hands, but few people can take it out.
Magic herbs are scarce. Today, you can’t buy therapeutic potions with money.
When dealing with the wound, the second squad of Surdak’s 57th Heavily Armored Infantry Regiment did a lot of work. He could skillfully tie a bandage and bow it with one hand to treat the wounded in the hall. He was even more duty-bound to cure this one, and he almost rushed to the front of an injured person without stopping. Some friends took care of him, and many people took care of the wound and waited for him to come to the holy light for treatment, which saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.
An aristocrat was lying on a marching carpet. He was pale because of excessive blood loss. He looked at Surdak’s shining saber in his hand. He probably wanted to divert his attention to relieve his physical pain. His eyes fell on Surdak’s hand and there was a light saber in his hand. He asked him
"Knight Surdak, do you have a name for this saber?"
Every epic weapon in the Green Empire has a good name. For example, in the temple, there is a golden shield decorated with the name’ Sakaram Messenger’. It is said that this shield was once owned by a dragon knight, and there is still a heavy crossbow named’ Brissado Kenan’ in the top warehouse of the Imperial City Hunters’ Association. This heavy crossbow is called by many hunters as the highest skill of crossbow making in the Green Empire.
Surdak is focusing on the wound in his leg, which was cut by a skeleton soldier’s axe. If he was more cruel, his thigh bone might be cut off. Surdak doesn’t know if he can walk normally after he dies, and he can’t sew tendons. He can’t reconnect the broken tendons. He can speed up the wound healing by holy light to avoid him bleeding to death.
"Shine" Surdak freely replied.
He paid attention to the wound of the wounded, and he must concentrate on guiding the holy light in the body node.
"Well … that’s a good name." The injured nobleman could barely praise it.
This nobleman probably studies enchanted weapons at ordinary times. He has never heard of any epic weapon called’ Shine’. When his eyes fall and shine, the magic lines on the saber blade are also slightly stunned. The magic lines on the blade are extremely simple and don’t look like a valuable epic weapon.
……
Darcy Christie’s face looks a little ugly. The stairs of the first floor of the hall are slowly looking at the mess in the hall. Before the number of victims can be counted, her heart can’t help but become more agitated. She really wants to hide in a quiet room and calm down at this time. She is almost furious, but it happened that the manor needs to take charge of the situation by herself.
She asked the manor guard, but there had never been a ghost here in the hunting ground of Binghu manor before. Now that so many people have died, I am afraid even her father Marquis Christie will be implicated.
When she saw Surdak’s face slightly softened in the busy crowd, she secretly thought that Hathaway and Beatrice seemed to be quite accurate in judging people.
Footsteps rang, and the housekeeper in the manor came from the back kitchen. The housekeeper was specially transferred from Christie Castle for the winter inaugural activity.
