deal

In the tent, Ivan frowned and looked at the young man in front of him.

Andrew looked calm and taken for granted, and said slowly, "I can cure you, which means that my own lungs are fine.

But today the old magician Hobert asserted that I had only seven days to live.

After seven days, if he finds out that I am not dead, he will naturally target me..."

Ivan is not stupid. He has understood this and squinted at Andrew: "So, you can treat lung burns, but you can't compete with a senior fire magician, right?"

Andrew nodded.

There's nothing to hide.

If he has the strength to fight against Hobert, he will not be easily put a knife on his neck by Ivan in front of him.

To be honest, I'm still a little unsure.

After all, the understanding of this other world is still too little.

If the fire magician actually has some methods to treat lung burns, and Ivan immediately grabbed himself and handed it over to Hobert for treatment, wouldn't he be so yellow?

Or, if this Ivan is a particularly devout flame believer, even if his lungs are burned by flames, he is unwilling to attack any "sacred fire magician", so what should he do?

I just heard Ivan speak: "First of all, you must know that I can't beat Hobert, let alone me now, even if I was before the injury, I can't beat him."

Andrew's heart sank.

Ivan continued: "But I promise you, I will help you kill Hobert. Then you will help me heal my lungs, right?

I'll put my words here first. If I help you, but you can't cure my lungs, then... I'll kill you, understand? "

I don't know if it was an illusion. Andrew always felt that when the other party said "I will help you kill Hobert", instead of being in awe of the fire magician, there was a hint of... hatred?

After silently keeping an eye on it, Andrew nodded and replied, "This is natural and fair!

You help me kill him, and I promise to cure you! If you kill him but I can't cure you, I don't need you to do it, I will kill myself.

But...you said you couldn't beat Hobert, but promised to help me kill him, what do you mean? "

Ivan regained the ruthlessness of the witcher and grinned: "You don't need to worry about it."

...

...

Its daybreak.

There were still six days left until Hobert predicted his own death.

"Well--"

Andrew woke up from his sleep, got up and stretched greatly.

I slept peacefully all night, and my lungs felt no more serious problems.

However, for the sake of disguise, he still pretended to cough a few times.

Walking out of the tent, Andrew narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

The nights in the desert are cold, and the days are hot and dry.

At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, and there was a temporary camp made up of tents in front of him. Not far from one side, there were the buildings and streets of Wildfire Town.

"In fact, aside from the fact that the world's worship of fire is already morbid, the customs here seem to be quite good."

Andrew carefully observed the buildings with unique styles that seemed to come out of a fantasy fairy tale and thought, "This is where I will live next."

Recalling the negotiation with Ivan last night, Andrew's mouth couldn't help showing a subtle smile.

Ivan agreed to his terms last night.

And under his repeated questioning, he explained what his remarks "can't beat Hobert but can kill Hobert" mean.

"—I'm a wild hunter, and I can't even beat the lowest-level wild beasts head-on, but I can hunt them easily."

Ivan said lightly, "If you can't beat it, it doesn't mean you can't kill it."

When he said this, there was a strong confidence in his tone.

"I see, so what? How are you going to kill him?"

Andrew was still a little worried, and at the same time a little curious.

Ivan just said: "I need to make some preparations and have to leave for a while."

Hearing that the other party said to leave for a while, Andrew frowned immediately.

You only have seven days left. In this case, do you have to leave for a while to prepare?

Ivan said: "Don't worry, I will come back, and I want to live myself. It's just that I can't kill Hobert alone. It's too difficult, even if I do it in the dark."

Andrew was startled: "Do you still have help?"

Ivan smiled and said, "You have your secret, and I have mine too."

After speaking, he took a deep look at the protagonist. At this time, Ivan had basically believed that the young man in front of him really had a cure for lung burns. And this is something that will cause a huge stir if you say it!

Andrew was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I won't ask you any more preparations.

But I still want to know, how soon will you be back? How can I contact you? "

After finishing speaking, I stared at Ivan, thinking that if you don't tell me this, I can't trust you anymore!

Fortunately, Ivan replied simply this time: "I can come back within three days at most, and I can catch up. You don't need to contact me, I will contact you."

After speaking, Ivan stopped talking nonsense, and did not give Andrew a chance to continue asking questions. He put on his shirt and left directly.

Made Andrew lose his temper.

However, this resolute style gave Andrew a confidence in his heart.

"By the way..." After Ivan left the tent, he said again from a distance, "There is a box of food in the corner of the tent, you can take it to the mother and daughter."

Andrew was startled, Yiyan found the box and opened it, and found that it was a good box of fruit, his eyes softened.

Picking up the box, Andrew returned to the temporary camp and handed the box to Aunt Sophia.

Then Andrew temporarily let go of all kinds of tense thoughts—

Fall back to sleep.

At this time it was bright.

Andrew sat in front of the tent, basking in the sun and having breakfast.

Successfully convincing Ivan, which is good, but not enough.

Today, there is the next "preparation plan", or "fire fighting upgrade plan"... Andrew's mouth is slightly raised.

Is it really cool to keep putting out fires?

A bit over the top!

"Eat fruit."

Aunt Sophia walked out of the tent and took little Sophie to distribute the box of fruits that Ivanto Andrew brought back last night.

This is not entirely because of selflessness, but Aunt Sophia considers that Wildfire Town experiences one or two "wild beast tides" every year, in case she is in the "wild beast tide" like little Sophie and her father There are three long and two short, little Sophie will still have someone to help take care of her.

Little Sophie is also very well-behaved, holding a pot and sharing the fruits with her mother to everyone in the camp.

As little Sophie's savior, Andrew naturally got the biggest share.

"Brother Andrew! Your fruit!"

Accompanied by her mother, little Sophie came to Andrew with sweat on her face, holding a plate of otherworldly fruits that looked a bit like grapes.

"No, it's your fruit."

Andrew took it with a smile, peeled one off and handed it to little Sophie.

Little Sophie looked up at her mother beside her, and only opened her mouth to accept it after receiving Sophia's permission.

After taking the first bite of the pulp, the little girl widened her eyes: "Wow, it's so sweet! How can it be so sweet?"

Andrew smiled.

Of course sweet.

I took action to treat Ivan by myself last night, although I stopped halfway due to various considerations, I did not completely cure Ivan, nor did I unlock any new abilities.

However, the use of this "water spirit technique" obviously feels more handy.

So the one who fed little Sophie by herself just now was not an ordinary grape from another world.

It is a top-quality grape from another world blessed by the "Water Spirit Art"!

More water, naturally sweet.

To be honest, using the "Water Spirit Art" to treat a patient's lung burns is an excellent experience, but it always makes Andrew feel like he is a doctor rather than a magician.

At this time, it was like magic, quietly making the grapes sweeter, bigger and more moist, and used for feeding... ah no, it was used to make children happy, which made Andrew feel:

Kind of like a magician.
