Chapter 212: Treatment
A large group of people gathered in Redal's room at the time. Beside the bed, Elrond was carefully examining the wound on Redal's arm. At his feet was a medicine box containing the potions he had prepared recently.
"This must be a special kind of energy," Elrond surmised after holding Redal's arm and examining it intently for a long time.
He gently placed his arm back on the bed. "If it is energy, I can try to use purification to see if I can dispel the effect."
Purification was a spell Elrond obtained when he became a great magician. It could dispel dark energy and negative effects.
Elrond raised his hand, with a faint golden light flickering on his index finger. He drew quickly in the air, soon completing the spell patterns of purification.
With a humming sound, the surrounding light elements were attracted and rushed towards the spell pattern, forming a light golden light that shone on the wound on Redal's left arm.
Hiss! Like the sound of a leaking tire, under the illumination of the purification spell, black smoke rose from Redal's wound, as if it was burning.
Everyone's eyes lit up at this scene. Without further explanation, they all knew that the purification technique was working.
"My fighting spirit can pass through the wound!" Redal expressed his surprise, noting the pain in the wound beginning to ease. The effect of the purification technique was immediate.
"Elrond, you are worthy of being our great physician in Wubei Territory. Thank you very much for this. I will treat you to a drink later!" Redal said.
In the room, everyone began to praise Elrond's abilities. After learning that Elrond could produce healing spell scrolls, they had taken the initiative to establish good relations with him.
Seeing Elrond's new abilities further elevated the Great Physician's status in everyone's hearts. As a professional knight, who can guarantee that he will not be seriously injured? With such a person who can save lives at critical moments, it was vital to maintain a good relationship.
Elrond smiled and replied, "It's not enough to just treat me once, you have to let me drink to my heart's content!"
Luo Ning, who was standing nearby, also laughed. At every dinner, Elrond drank the most wine.
Chahar couldn't help but sigh twice, lamenting internally about how much Elrond loved to drink, often complaining that all the wine in the castle was drunk by Elrond.
As he spoke, the great doctor took out a small dagger and scraped away the dead flesh on Redal's wound.
Thanks to Redal's strong willpower, he didn't utter a word during the entire process.
Then, with the fall of several rays of healing light, the fresh wound on his arm slowly stopped bleeding and showed signs of healing.
"This puncture wound is too deep and has damaged the muscles inside. The effectiveness of the healing technique will be reduced, but fortunately the wound area is not large," Elrond explained as he took out a packet of powder from the medicine box and sprinkled it on the wound.
"This is my latest powerful growth-promoting powder, which can speed up wound healing. However, it is only for junior and intermediate knights. The effect will be reduced when used on senior knights."
Since Redal was a silver knight, the powerful growth-promoting powder probably wouldn't have much effect.
"It's OK if it's a little useful," Redal remarked, feeling the burning sensation in his wound. "Without being bothered by that kind of energy, an injury like this would almost be healed in ten days."
Once that strange energy was dispelled, the rest would be easy.
Luo Ning finally felt relieved.
"Elrond, you should stay in Black Earth Town for the time being. There are some strange things in the valley to the north. If they follow us, your ability should be able to restrain them."
Purification could purify this energy, and Luo Ning wondered if it could also directly affect those monsters.
"Sir, we heard George's general description of the situation over there. What is going on?" Elrond asked.
Since George had already discussed it, there was no need for Roning to hide it. Fortunately, they were all insiders.
"This matter needs to be kept secret. It only needs to be known to yourselves. Don't talk about it in the territory, let alone spread it outside."
If the people knew about this, it would cause panic, and if outsiders knew about it, they would also become more curious about the valley.
Everyone present nodded silently, especially Kurami. Not many people could spread this matter, so she and Rogner had the motive, after all, they had a family behind them.
But since Luo Ning had instructed discretion, she wouldn't say anything unnecessary.
Since you have decided to be loyal to Roning, you should put his interests first.
Next, Roning shared what he knew, and Redal, who had recovered some of his spirit, supplemented his words.
As someone directly involved, Redal understood that group of beings much better than George.
It was precisely because of this that everyone's mood became more solemn.
"Although that valley is a bit far from us, and although we cannot develop there in the near future, those strange things seriously threaten the security of the territory. We can't just ignore them."
He had been a little hesitant at first, but now Elrond gave him confidence.
"Wait for Macon to come over, and wait for Redal's injury to heal. I am determined to lead the team to clean up that place!" Roning declared.
Roning expressed his thoughts, looking around at everyone present and said, "When the time comes, all the intermediate and above extraordinary people in Wubei Territory, um..."
He paused for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "Except for Kurami, all other intermediate and above extraordinary people should be prepared and go together."
Junior knights, Ronin planned to bring Tom, David, Grado, and Tomas.
These four had performed the best among the junior knights and were worth training.
Although they may not be able to help much in a fight, having them around can still provide training and broaden their horizons.
"grown-ups!"
At this moment, Kurami stood up and asked, "Why exclude me?"
This question made everyone in the room stunned.
Generally, people like Redal would acquiesce to such arrangements, and others who had surrendered to Ronin as savage tribes probably wouldn't ask any more questions.
This was the first time Kurami asked such a direct question.
Roning didn't think that the other party was a troublemaker. On the contrary, if he were in Kurami's position, he would have the same doubts in his mind.
As for whether or not one will express doubts on the spot, it depends on each person's personality.
Some people are unwilling to express themselves and will just accept it silently; some people are more straightforward and may raise the issue on the spot.
"If Rogner were here, I would take him and you with me," Luo Ning explained. "But I have arranged other important tasks for him. He probably won't be able to make it back during our operation."
In fact, he was reluctant to let Rogna, Kurami, Grado, and others take risks. It would be manageable if they were injured, but if something fatal happened, the families behind them would definitely intervene.
The reason why we are willing to bring Grado along this time is mainly because the junior knights will not leave the field.
But Kurami is different. She is a mid-level knight and might have to participate in the battle if she goes.
And with Rogner not around, it would be hard to explain if something went wrong.
As it is now, it would be good to let Rogna run the caravan and take charge of the transportation, and let Kurami maintain law and order in the swamp town.
But Kurami didn't want to.
In terms of strength, among the three intermediate knights of Wubei—Kurami, Horn, and Barrington—she is the strongest. Now that the latter two have gone, but she has been excluded; in terms of gender, Jenny present is also a woman, and a magician. If the others can go, why can't she?
"Sir, since we have chosen to follow you, it means we are willing to fight for you."
Kurami knelt on one knee, "Rogna is Rogna, and I am me. Even if I die in this operation, it has nothing to do with you, and Rogna will not think it is your fault."
She said in a deep voice: "Please allow me to follow you on this operation!"
Luo Ning smiled. He didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic, and this set of rhetoric made it difficult for him to exclude her.
"Okay, in that case, I'll let you follow me this time. So prepare yourself!"
