Gawain had to lament the magic and convenience of those healing spells - this world does not have advanced medical ideas, nor does it have a complete understanding of microbial infections, human anatomy, cell biology, etc. For civilians, ordinary people An ordinary wound infection may kill a person, but at the same time, those who master the holy light and the way of nature can use magic to achieve unimaginable "treatment". As long as they can afford the price, A person with only half a breath left can even heal his wounds in a few minutes and turn the corner into safety.
There are no druids in the Kant Territory, but there are several Holy Light priests. One of them lives in the chapel in the castle all year round. He is the religious advisor to the lord and is also responsible for maintaining the lord. Health responsibility, with the timely notification from the servant, the holy light priest quickly rushed to Victor Kant's study and used the holy light technique to save the old viscount's shaky life.
Gawain stood aside and watched the priest's busy work. The druid potion has replenished Victor Kant's much-needed vitality, and the knight's "Blood Inspiration" has quickly replenished the viscount's lost blood by overdrawing this part of his vitality. Now, the healing holy light has Covered on the wound, the priest prayed devoutly while carefully holding the handle of the dagger. Then he shouted the name of the God of Holy Light and quickly pulled out the murderous weapon.
The Holy Light immediately stirred up, healing the wound quickly, and at the same time regulating the damaged muscles and bones inside the wound. During this process, the Holy Light Priest was constantly praying to the God of Holy Light to maintain The healing effect on Viscount will not be interrupted.
Gawain nodded silently, thinking that he had seen a Holy Light priest with a normal style - the kind of priest who used the Ascending Dragon Bone Setting Technique and the Inch Fist Cleansing Spirit Technique, where did the skills come from? ?
The treatment process should continue for a short period of time. The servants were gathering around their master. Gawain looked around and began to examine every corner of the study.
No one questioned his actions - the ordinary servants believed that the Duke was inspecting the scene of the murder, but the butler Carter, who might have been an obstacle, had turned into a murderer and fled the place. .
Gawain's eyes moved in this closed study room, his brows slightly furrowed.
This is not a place suitable for a study - although it is located on the upper floors of the castle, it has a rather poor lighting environment. The narrow and uncomfortable narrow windows of classical castles are particularly prominent here. , there is only one narrow window in the whole room, which means that it cannot bring much light to the room even when the sun is the brightest throughout the day, and the magic crystal lamp embedded in the wall obviously has some problems: even if all the lights They were all on, and a hazy and dim atmosphere enveloped the room.
No, it’s not necessarily a problem with the magic crystal lamp...
Gawain’s eyes fell on one of the lamps. The light of that lamp was actually very bright, but But it shines likeIt seems to be bound by some force, so it cannot spread all over the room.
The kind and cheerful Viscount Victor usually works in such a strange study?
Gawain came to one side of the room. There was a huge bookshelf against the wall. A large number of beautifully bound books with thick covers were neatly arranged on the bookshelf. Many books even had even It is also inlaid with decorations such as gold and silver, which is a typical feature of aristocratic book collections.
In Gao Wen's view, this is a manifestation of multi-functionality - it can be used for reading when knowledge is needed, it can be used to hit people when self-defense is needed, and it can even be used to cover books when the family is in trouble. The gold was pried out and used as start-up funds to revive the family business. In addition to being easily slapped in the face when lying on the bed at night, these heavy and gorgeous books are simply "knowledge is power and can also be money." model.
And in fact, most of the books in this era were so heavy and gorgeous - they were "luxury goods" that only wealthy people could own. Sometimes the number of books in the castle even directly showed The net worth and heritage of a nobleman - even if they themselves may not read it a few times in their lives.
But Viscount Kant obviously did not just collect these books to save face. The covers of most books have varying degrees of wear and deformation, which is a phenomenon that only occurs when they are read frequently, and some of them The cover even has traces of being repaired with glue, leather, gold and silver foil. This is a move only done by book lovers.
It’s just that Gawain’s eyes swept over a book and found that all the repair marks seemed to have been left a long time ago. The gold and silver foils had changed color, and the leather stuck on them had changed color. It was also badly worn, and there was not even a newer book to be seen on the entire bookshelf.
It seems that after a certain time, the Viscount Kant was no longer interested in these "ordinary books"?
What is he reading? The magical tomes left to him by the Eternal Sleep Order?
Gawain turned to another small table behind the desk. There were some documents and files that were not needed for the time being stacked on this table. Gawain's eyes were suddenly attracted by one of the unfolded papers. .
There are some account transactions hastily recorded on it, which seem to be original information that has not yet been collected into the ledger. The most conspicuous among the several records is the remuneration and payment to a certain mercenary team. The deposit for the next operation has the words "collecting raw materials" written on the specific employment content.
Is this a record of hiring mercenaries to arrest refugees? evidence?
Gawain frowned and was about to approach the piece of paper when he suddenly heard a small commotion from the servants behind him, and a little extra light shone into this slightly In a dimly lit study.
Gawain turned around in surprise, and saw Viscountess Lilith Kant standing at the door. This sickly lady, who was as thin as a shadow, was carrying a lantern.It was with the help of the light of this lantern that she ran all the way from the North Tower here; her eyes widened and she stared blankly at Victor Kant who was surrounded by everyone, with fear and consternation written on her face.
"What's going on!?" Lilith exclaimed, her voice broken, "Who...who can tell me...what's wrong with Victor?"
< p> "Madam, madam, please don't panic. The Viscount is fine." The Holy Light Priest quickly stood up. "Thanks to the God of Holy Light for his care, the Viscount only suffered some skin injuries and suffered a convulsion and coma. , Duke Gawain gave him the potion in time, and with my treatment, he is safe." As he spoke, the holy light priest raised his hand and tried to summon a holy light. To comfort the frightened lady, Lilith Kant directly ignored the priest and staggered quickly to Victor's side. After checking that he was indeed breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gawain. : "Thank you... thank you for saving him.""What I should do," Gawain nodded slightly, then looked at the servants around him, "There are too many people crowded in here - - Your master needs fresh air, except for personal servants, everyone should withdraw."
Gawain is not the master of this castle, but no one objects to what he said at this moment. Most of the servants left the room soon, and after confirming that the healing spell had taken effect and that the Viscount no longer needed additional spell casting, the Holy Light Priest also withdrew.
The wound of Viscount Kant has healed. A senior valet wiped the blood on the Viscount's body, and the latter finally woke up.
His eyes focused for a while before he could clearly see the situation in the room. He first saw Gawain and was stunned for a moment. Then he saw Lilith standing in front of him, her expression immediately tense. Get up: "Dear! Why are you here?!"
"I...I heard something happened in the castle..." Lilith Kant looked a little panicked, "I ran to see you... ..."
"I'm fine," Viscount Kant waved his hand with some difficulty, asking the servant to step back. Then he tried to stand up with weak breath, but this effort failed, and Lilith immediately came up. She stepped forward to support him, and he grabbed Lilith's arm with his backhand, "You don't have to worry - on the contrary, you came here at this time, which made me very worried."
"I...I'm fine "," the Viscountess said hurriedly, and nodded quickly to Gawain, "The Duke rescued you immediately and called the priest - dear, what happened?"
"Thank you for your help," Victor Kant immediately thanked Gawain, and frowned and took a slow breath - the wound had healed, but the pain of the dagger piercing his chest seemed to still remain between his heart and lungs. "It was Carter. Carter suddenly attacked me. I was completely confused. He seemed to have changed into a different person. While stabbing me, he also said some strange words, saying that there was an intruder in the castle, and what should I protect... I’m completely confused now!”
Then the Viscount seemed to suddenly react: "By the way, Carter - where did he go? Did he attack anyone else?"
Just as Gawain was about to answer, a shadow suddenly appeared in the study It condensed into shape, and Amber's voice came from the shadows: "He ran away."
The half-elf lady appeared, her body was almost soaked by the rain, her long ears were in the air Zhong shook (probably shaking water?), turned to look at Gawain: "That old butler is definitely not an ordinary person! I saw him running on the spire of the castle as if he was flying, and his figure disappeared and disappeared again and again. He appeared, and I couldn't catch him with my Shadow Step - I finally chased him to the stables behind the castle, where he disappeared and I couldn't find him at all."
Gao. Wen was startled: "A person who can't even be tracked by you?"
"Yes, at least he is a demigod," Amber said very confidently, "After all, I am the chosen one of the goddess of the night... ..."
Gawain pretended not to have heard these words.
"If he runs away, he may become a threat," Gawain looked at the viscount and viscountess, "I suggest you strengthen the defense of the castle."
"That's for sure. "Yes." Viscount Kant nodded vigorously.
Lilith also nodded slightly, but suddenly covered her forehead, and her body swayed slightly as if she had lost support.
Viscount Kant suddenly looked nervous: "Dear?"
"I...I'm a little dizzy," Lilith covered her forehead, her tone was a little painful, "I don't Comfortable..."
"You have been away from your room for too long!" Viscount Kant's tone became serious, "You have to go back and rest quickly - don't worry, I will send twice as many guards to guard the North Tower. , and as long as I feel better, I will go over and be with you."
"Okay...Okay," Lilith Kant stood up unsteadily and obeyed her husband in a daze. After making arrangements, she picked up the lantern placed next to her and slowly walked towards the door of the study.
