The sun has slowly set on the skyline, and the deep cumulus clouds are now leaning on the sun's forehead, walking slowly, and the sun has dyed the clouds in the sky into fire clouds emitting golden light, which are reflected on the

On the faces of each mercenary, layers of flaming sunset glow rolled over Kuhan, as if the sky also knew about the victory of this war and was cheering for the Kablan mercenary group.

The Kablan mercenary group returning to Kuhan from the northern ruins pulled out a long team on the ground. The broken armor and broken weapons collided with each other along the way, making a clanking sound. Everyone was shaking.

Limping slowly, most of the people were wearing crutches and bandages, while some were being carried on stretchers. They were all listless, and there was no sign of victory on their faces.

Joy, obviously a legion that should be cheering for victory, but in this long line, they kept wailing and sighing heavily due to pain. This team was more like the remnants of a defeated battle.

Lista woke up in the bumps of the stretcher, accompanied by severe pain in his legs. At this time, Lista's feet were tightly bandaged. He wanted to sit up from the stretcher, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

Lista couldn't even raise his hand.

"Brother, you wake up"

On the left side of Lista's stretcher, Karu, who was also covered in bandages, was walking beside Lista. His huge body also blocked Lista from the strong and dazzling sunset. Lista turned his head and was speechless.

The sound squeezed out of his mouth.

"My giant friend, it's you as expected, hahaha, you are so energetic even though you are covered with injuries."

Karu spread his hands, and he could see that he was very helpless. "Brother, this is the most serious injury I have suffered since I was born, and that very powerful archer brother is already gone."

Lista "left?"

Karu: "Yes, that brother's name seems to be Kai. In the end, his wrists were just sore. When everyone was preparing to return, he took the commission and left on his own."

Lista and Karu looked at each other and each gave a bitter smile.

"What a powerful person. I have never seen anyone who can turn a bow and arrow into a ballista, and I have never seen an arrow that can be refracted." Lista sighed. Although he was seriously injured and his whole body was covered with blood,

He couldn't move, but he was very excited. Sure enough, on the road to becoming a knight, he would meet and meet many stronger people.

"brother"

Karu's mellow voice called Lista, and Lista opened her heavy eyelids and reluctantly responded with a smile.

"I heard that the brother who pretended to be dead wrote back from the village that the priestess of Kuhan is already looking for a magician to make a recovery potion for everyone."

"That's great." As soon as Lista heard that there would be help from Brin, Lista immediately relaxed a lot and persisted. As long as Mr. Brin is here, it will be fine. Although Lista has never met Brin.

Lin really casts magic, but after drinking Bryn's tea, Lista labeled Bryn as powerful, reliable, and omnipotent.

Lista suddenly thought of something and suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of Karu's clothes, but the forced action immediately brought severe pain to Lista. Karu immediately held Lista down. "What's wrong, brother, tell me slowly."

"

"Fi... Where's Fiona? What's wrong with her?" With a panicked tone and hurried words, Lista's pupils trembled instantly when she thought of Fiona.

"Hahahaha, brother, you are talking about that powerful and beautiful female warrior! She is really a life-threatening rose on the battlefield," Karu pretended while praising Fiona.

Lista "Then...then...what's wrong with her now"

Karu: "Don't worry, brother, we were rushed to the magician in the village just after the battle. Judging from his breathing, nothing serious will happen."

Why does Lista care so much about Fiona? To Lista, Fiona is just a colleague she has only known for a few days, but from the first day Lista entered the Kablan Mercenary Group and fought side by side with Fiona, she has become

He felt the unique charm exuded by this woman, and also went on separate missions with Fiona. Lista, who had a miserable childhood, always felt that Fiona also had something torn apart every time she saw Fiona, who looked bright and sunny on the outside.

A heartbreaking past.

"Obviously she is a beautiful enough to attract people, but she is addicted to fighting. She is just like the little guy I met when I entered Kuhan. What is her name? I think she is called Lin. How is she now? She has found a powerful

Someone..."

While thinking, Lista, who was seriously injured, gradually fell asleep. After seeing Lista sleeping, Karu ran to the back row and found a blanket to cover Lista.

.......

In the dim backstage of the arena, only a few candles were lit on the wall. A group of rats were whispering in the garbage pile in the corner, rummaging hard for their next meal. Charles carefully polished and followed in this terrible environment.

The two swords he had owned for many years, the young man beside him sat quietly, watching how the uncle took care of the two swords.

"Boy, do you know what I called the attack method I taught you?"

"That...attack method you...taught me? Oh, it's the one where you rush in from a very far away place, I don't know..."

"Hahaha... brat"

Charles looked at the ignorant boy in front of him and liked him from the bottom of his heart. He could always quickly learn what Charles taught him.

"Boy, you've learned my skills but don't know what they're called. That's not good, okay?"

"I call it rage"

The young man pouted, raised his head, blinked his eyes, and looked at Charles very cutely, with doubts in his eyes.

"Uncle, why?"

"When our speed exceeds the wind, the sound of the two swords cutting through the air is like the roar of the wind."

"Fury...then I can do it too"

"Hahahahahaha" Charles rubbed the boy's head dotingly, "Now? Hahahahaha, in the future, you will definitely do it, you will do better than me."

The melted candle wax dripped on the wall and solidified into a winding and rugged waterfall. The candlelight shone on the faces of the two people who were not father and son but loved each other. The uncle exuded his doting on the boy, and the boy also enjoyed the uncle.

Both of them had rosy cheeks, and even in this terrible environment, the weak candlelight could bring warmth to their faces.

...

In his sleep, Lista's whole body was wrapped in warmth. In his sleep, Lista subconsciously stretched his muscles.

"Uh-huh...ah!"

As he stretched, Lista let out a comfortable groan, and the joints on his body crackled every part of his body.

"Please don't make strange noises in my office"

"Um?"

Brin's emotionless words woke up Lista who was stretching into a large figure. Because he was too comfortable, Lista opened his eyes and kept smiling.

But when his vision became clear, his smile froze. At this time, Lista no longer had any bandages on his body. His shirt had been taken off and he was only wearing a pair of shorts. He was lying on a table, and Lista

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw three faces from bottom to top. Among these three people, except Brin who remained expressionless, Fiona and Karu looked at Lista with half-smiling faces.

"Hey, you're pretty good at barking."

Fiona teased Lista like a big sister teasing her little brother. Lista reacted instantly and was so shy that her cheeks and ears turned red and hot.

"This..this"

"Please don't move. It is a heinous crime to interrupt the magician's spellcasting."

Just as Lista was about to get up, he was immediately stopped sternly by Brin, and Lista could only lie down obediently.

Lista was lying on the table and looking at the surrounding things. This was the magic research room. Fiona was leaning on the wall with her hands on her side.

"Hey? Sister Na, are you healed already? Mr. Brin, you are so amazing," Lista exclaimed.

Brynn "Yeah"

Lista “…”

Fiona had already changed into plain clothes at this time. She wore a light blue short skirt that just covered Fiona's thighs, showing off Fiona's alluring figure. She also tied her golden hair into a ponytail.

Because the light in this space was already soft or there were traces of magic left after Bryn's treatment, Fiona's skin looked particularly white, tender and smooth at this time, which made Lista reluctant to close her eyes for a while.

Eye.

Fiona: "Don't look at it. Mr. Brin is indeed very powerful. I woke up last night."

Carew on the side didn't have a suitable chair because he was too big, so he sat on the ground. The injuries on his body disappeared at some point, leaving only deep and shallow scars at the injured area.

Seeing that Brin picked up another red medicine bottle and placed it on Lista's feet, he slowly poured the medicine bottle down, but what came out was not liquid. What was poured out rolled down like smoke.

At this time, Bryn's palm facing the red smoke burst out with an invisible force. This force guided the red smoke to slowly wrap around Lista's feet.

Lista, whose feet were wrapped in red smoke, could feel the burning heat in circles on her feet. Slowly, the burning sensation penetrated from the surface of the skin to the inside of the feet. However, the burning sensation became milder after entering the body.

Under the guidance of Brin, the red smoke sneaked into Lista's feet bit by bit. Soon, the last bit of smoke slowly disappeared into Lista's soles. Lista instantly felt the calf muscles.

The beating is just like running and walking, beating rhythmically.

"Although your foot is seriously injured, it's not a bad thing. Everyone's physique is different. After the goblin's bones are broken, the restored bones will be harder than the previous bones. The same goes for your muscles this time.

Although the calf muscles are completely ruptured, they are more explosive than before." Brin put down the medicine bottle and recorded something on a scroll with a pen while explaining the situation to Lista."

"Then wouldn't I..."

Brin didn't wait for Lista to finish, interrupted him and continued, "Don't try to take any tricks. Although your muscles will be stronger than before after you recover, you can't recover without me."

Lista "...I understand, Mr. Brin..."

Brin: "You three, go out quickly. I want to have a good rest. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the future."

Lista “…”

Carew "..."

Fiona “…”
