Chapter 254
Episode 254 Serene Village
One week left until we administer the drug and observe the progress.
During that time, Ray decided to look around Seren Village.
He wears a white robe and wears an iron mask over his face.
The blue eyes that shine through the small gaps in the mask somehow create a mysterious atmosphere.
Packing a few silver coins and a leather backpack, he set out on the road.
* * *
Seren Village.
It is a village where endless pastures and houses built between them bring a relaxing landscape.
It was a resting place for adventurers who came from time to time to take a rest, and it was also fertile land where good crops could be grown.
However, now it is just an empty lot that has become a messy field.
Buildings were all destroyed by the impact, and the crops that looked so good were reduced to ashes.
Ray, who was looking at the barren pile of dirt, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk, you fought very splendidly.”
Anyone who sees it would think that it was even a 9th circle hell fire.
As much as that, the situation in Serene Village could be said to be the worst.
The dust is scattered in the air, so if you do it wrong, you can get respiratory diseases.
He passed the village entrance and headed towards the center.
Then he saw the wounded lined up in front of him.
Patients lying on a flat road and apprentice priests treating them.
Standing next to it is a man who appears to be a military commander.
He passed them as they were and glanced at the injured once.
‘I’m not feeling well.’
Some showed symptoms of muscle spasms and gasped for breath, while others exhausted themselves from using too much divine power.
There was no way the apprentice priests could keep up with the care of the injured at this level.
As he went back and forth between the inside and outside of the building, he pictured the situation of the patients in his head.
Memorize the wounds of those who are injured and find solutions one by one.
I went around many places doing image training a few times like that.
Did you spend an hour like that?
A pervert dressed up with a lot of personality came and went here and there as if it were her own home, and a woman who was suspicious of him started talking to him.
“Excuse me, but who are you?”
At her words, he holds out a card from his bosom.
She changed her expression when the golden healer’s plaque was held out.
‘Such a suspicious person is a first-class healer…’
His face was covered with a mask and he was wearing a strange white robe with dyed sleeves, revealing an excessive amount of personality.
As I stared at him without saying a word, a voice came from behind the mask.
“I came here after receiving a request from the guild. I want to know the situation…”
A woman who seems to be the commander of the troops here said while biting the soldiers around her.
“You are a therapist. As you can see, it’s not a good situation. It is difficult for apprentice priests, not formal priests or priests, to treat so many wounded. Besides, the guild backed away after the sweeping battle, so the military has no other way to do anything.”
In other words, it is a slope.
Just by leaving the wounded in the field, it was roughly predictable how the situation would turn out.
However, the military will not have the will to release funds for them, nor will it have the will to hire priests.
Even if they have debts, they are unable to repay them.
That’s probably why she was dispatched here to match the assortment.
he said with a small breath.
“Well, then we have no choice but to deal with it ourselves.”
“That is impossible. No matter how apprentice priests move under the guidance of the healer, the priests do not have the energy to use holy power right now. If they don’t get enough rest, they will collapse too.”
“The priests tell me to rest. The rest will be difficult, but you and I will do it.”
“…yes?”
“Gather everyone except for the soldiers who are vigilant. I have a lot of work to do from now on.”
They ask for a call-up order, but I’m just curious because I can’t figure out their intentions.
“…what do you plan to do with the mobilized troops?”
“We have to treat the wounded.”
I feel like I’ve become strange to the reaction that seems to ask why I ask something obvious.
she said without hiding her embarrassment.
“It’s embarrassing, but the soldiers under my command can’t even handle mana, let alone divine magic.”
“I’m not crazy, but I don’t want healing magic from mediocre soldiers. What we want our soldiers to do is to separate the wounded.”
“You make a distinction?”
“We have to divide the side that can afford treatment as opposed to the side that could die if not treated now. If the wound looks large, hang a white cloth from your shoulder. From then on, I’ll take care of it.”
If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can’t do.
She nodded happily at the unexpectedly simple instruction.
“All right. Let’s move right away.”
* * *
The apprentice priests laughed bitterly as they watched the white cloth hanging from the shoulders of some of the wounded.
“Although they say they are therapists, they are only first class. Trying to do the job of a priest when you can’t even use holy magic.”
“To be honest, I still don’t know why I need a therapist. If there are any wounds, the priests or we can just fix them.”
“Look at how messy it looks. He’s wearing a dirty white robe and even a mask, so there’s nothing like that for begging. ha ha ha.”
“So is he! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Regardless of whether or not they were talking on the sidelines, Ray focused on the current situation.
He can’t use healing magic right now.
The only thing he could trust was the knowledge in his head and the senses he was accustomed to.
He approached the patients with white cloths hung up and began to treat them.
If you see a wound, start with disinfection, and if it’s a tolerable size, tie it up with a simple suture.
If there was anything fortunate, it was that the classification of the patients to see if the soldiers had done their job properly was quite accurate.
Priority was given to differentiated patients, but among them, those with symptoms of convulsions or complications were treated first.
Then things went much smoother than before.
The momentum was so great that even the apprentice priests who had been watching him laughed at him, raising their eyes wide.
“What kind of speed…”
“Are you being treated properly?”
I glared at them with disbelief on their faces, but looking at the expressions on the injured people’s faces, it seems that they are not doing anything wrong.
In addition, the cream-colored military commander also looked at him, and jealousy was creeping up.
They frowned.
After more than half a day of continuing basic care, most of the critically ill patients were able to be dealt with.
However, many of the other wounded were still left.
‘There’s nothing good about leaving it in this environment for a long time.’
Finally, abandoning the idea of rest, he ran from place to place and stayed up all night.
For a patient with a broken leg, he carved a tree to make a splint for himself, and for a dislocated patient, he adjusted the bone by hand.
Such things continued until the next day.
After taking care of more than 100 injured people without sleep, eventually, the limit of mental strength came.
Still, since most of the people lying here were cured, the guild’s request could be successfully completed.
However, he did not leave the village.
He stayed by the side of the wounded, repairing their armor, chatting with them, and helping with repair work in the village.
That’s how I ended up spending three more days in Seren Village.
A night when the moonlight illuminated the fields.
As Ray was arranging the cloth for the patients, injured adventurers approached him one by one.
Each of them was deeply grateful.
I can’t express my apologies and gratitude for taking care of even the troublesome things that even the soldiers, let alone priests, didn’t want to do.
An adventurer who was drooling and looking down at his wounds lowered his head.
“…Thank you. In my normal days I used to look down on high-nosed healers, but today I realized that my eyes were rotten. There were healers like you in the world.”
“It doesn’t look like you need our help, but if you give me a chance to repay the favor, this mercenary Cran will do my best to repay you.”
He has a smile on his face full of scars.
He smiled at the friendly look.
“Since we had a good meeting under the moonlight, the favor has already been repaid.”
On the contrary, the willingness to see them thinking of them increased.
At his words, adventurers and mercenaries laughed happily.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Even if it’s just words, I’m grateful.”
“I think we should have a drink later. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Their hearts matched, and they told each other’s stories until late in the evening.
The story continued without a break, perhaps because the tension had been relieved, but perhaps because there were many adventurers and mercenaries, their experiences made up the main story.
It seems to have something in common with the fact that the topic of the military comes up a lot in men’s conversations in modern times.
Since we had so much in common, the conversation never seemed to end.
As they continued their conversation, the tired Ray fell asleep involuntarily.
* * *
When I woke up, the military commander of the courtesy was putting his face in front of me.
Judging from the awkward posture and awkward hand movements, it seems that he was probably trying to take off the mask while sleeping.
She covers her body like a woman in the center of a cave facing a pervert in front of her eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“There were burr bugs attached to it.”
It’s pretty flimsy to say it’s an excuse.
He brushed off his robe and stood up.
“There are no bugs, but there is one pervert that tries to undress a sleeping person.”
“Rice perversion. I am not that kind of person.”
“What is it? It says pervert written all over your face.”
Touching his face at his words, I muttered, ‘No…’.
Soon after, she came to her senses and asked urgently as she saw him starting to pack.
“Are you leaving already?”
“The guild request has already been completed before, so there won’t be any problems even if I don’t watch anymore.”
“I see…”
Somehow, there is a hint of regret.
In the meantime, she had been eyeing the therapist in front of her eyes.
He thought he should keep an eye on that suspicious person.
But that thought was short-lived.
The appearance of grasping the situation in an instant and leading it to a complete solution was truly equipped with the aspect of a master.
However, the humane appearances that he shows from time to time blend well with such a perfect appearance.
I was watching it from the back, and I got a feeling for some reason.
‘Why am I like this?’
He was surprised by his unusual appearance, but he had already turned his back and was leaving the village.
What did you do to call it already?
“…With a therapist like that, there will be a day when we will meet again someday.”
She watched his back as he walked away.
