"Sorry...Shireen."
So he tried to make his voice gentler, looked at Shirin and said.
"I may be a little tired, so I don't want you to be as tired as me."
"...I-I'm not, tired, I-I'm useful, I can, I can help...!"
It seems that He Wen is saying that he can't help. This elf girl's understanding has always been different from ordinary people.
At this time, she clasped her hands, her eyes were rarely firm, and she looked at He Wen and said.
"Please, please don't, abandon, me, help, work, I can!"
He Wen was a little speechless. He obviously wanted to comfort her. Just when He Wen felt a little irritable, Hal touched Shirin's head and said.
"The professor will not abandon you. Don't worry. Come and rest with your sister. I have more important things to ask Shireen later."
After hearing what Hal said, Shirin looked at He Wen again, as if she wanted to get confirmation.
"Go and rest, you are very important to me and I will not abandon you."
Every patient is very important to He Wen. Even if his care for the patient cannot be expressed in words, he will express this care in his absolute concentration on surgery and treatment.
Only this time, He Wen chose to use words to comfort the girl in front of him.
Shireen nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in her eyes.
Looking at her and Hal's retreating figures, He Wen couldn't help but sigh.
This child must have been paying attention to me. When she saw me sitting on the ground tired, she immediately gave me a bowl of water. It was really hard for her.
etc......
He Wen suddenly thought of something, and then looked at Shilin's back.
"...She was really completely silent just now."
He Wen remembered that when Shilin brought him water just now, he didn't notice any movement at all.
Logically speaking, his current attributes are already very high, and he can even clearly grasp the monsters in the mines.
But just now, I really didn't notice it at all.
If only she had been holding a dagger instead of a water bowl.
If she approached him with the intention of killing him, He Wen might have to perform a suturing operation on his neck now.
Thinking of this, He Wen couldn't help but shiver down his spine.
In the second half of the night, He Wen entered the mine again and asked the orcs to mine part of the ore.
More than a hundred bows and countless arrows were then refined from these ores.
Orcs are natural hunters, and they can use bows and arrows skillfully without any guidance. He Wen arranged more than a hundred orcs on the steel city wall to prepare for the knight's attack.
He Wen knew that the knight's armor had been blessed by magic, so he specially selected demon-breaking materials when refining these arrows. This was another point expense. Thousands of arrows directly cost him 200 demon points. Now Even after all his calculations, he only had 1,800 points in stock.
After doing all this, the night was coming to an end. With the help of He Wen and the magical medicinal materials he exchanged, the orcs who were still breathing were rescued.
Originally, He Wen planned to fully popularize the kind of military alloy skeleton, but considering the lack of money and lack of time, he temporarily gave up this idea.
It would be a large-scale project to replace the bones of an entire village.
So he slowly sat down against the city wall and closed his eyes. The current situation no longer allowed him to lie down and rest peacefully. Half asleep and half awake, he felt something lightly covering his body.
He opened his eyes and saw Eve carefully covering him with a warm coat. Her face was so close, as if she was looking at He Wen carefully while he was sleeping.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" He Wen opened his eyes slightly and asked softly.
This question frightened Eve, her clothes slipped from her hands, and she fell to the ground.
"No, no, I, I... I just want to see... what's different about you when you become a demon..." Eve explained hurriedly, with a suspicious blush on her face.
He Wen yawned and then stood up. He was confused and didn't know how long he had slept for, but judging from the gradually brightening sky over there, dawn was approaching.
"Don't show up in the next battle."
He Wen looked at Eve and said, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the position of Elder Huck who was gathering people.
"Why??"
Eve was very confused, she chased after He Wen and asked.
"Before, it was because you were stronger than Setas, so I felt free to let you go into battle, and it also served as a bait. But now it seems that there is no need for bait. The other party is determined to destroy this village. Flat ground.”
"Then shouldn't I be more likely to fight?!"
Eve said with some dissatisfaction.
She was never afraid of fighting, she was just afraid of being excluded as an outsider, or that people would protect her because she was a princess.
He Wen sighed. He was used to not explaining. Now he could only turn around and look at Eve seriously and said.
"I can solve all this, but if you show up and get caught by mistake, then we will lose everything. Do you understand?"
Eve shook her head.
"I'm not that important!"
"No, you are important!"
He Wen raised his voice and held Eve's shoulders.
Eve is of course important. He is the one that He Wen will focus on cultivating in the future. Simply overthrowing the Holy Religion cannot actually solve the fundamental problem.
The Talis Kingdom and the entire royal family, which are backed by the Holy Religion, are the root of the problem.
Although Eve is a concubine, she is also a member of the royal family.
Although it is not appropriate to use the emperor to control the princes now, He Wen did have such an idea.
While the two were still arguing, the archer on guard on the city wall suddenly shouted.
"I'm coming!!!"
He Wen was startled, and immediately ran to the city wall, and Eve also ran up after him.
Then I saw a burst of dust rising from the forest in the distance, and a team that was so long that there was no end in sight was heading towards the village with unstoppable momentum.
And the man walking at the front was the man He Wen saw under Shalia's magic.
Eve couldn't help but frown after seeing the man.
"...Eric Ross, I didn't expect him to come so quickly."
He Wen had an impression of this name. It was the name of the lord of Arnan County that he learned from the orcs during the previous war meeting.
"Those knights look different."
He Wen found that the armors and flags of this group of knights were very different from those of the Red Dragon Knights, so he became a little confused.
"That is the new generation of knights formed by Eric, the South County Crusaders. The Red Dragon Knights are almost vulnerable to them."
Eve's face turned pale. She didn't expect that in order to deal with such a small village, the leader would actually use such a powerful crusader.
"wrong."
He Wen frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
"This group of people is definitely not just here for us. There must be something in this forest that this lord must eliminate no matter what."
