"What is sprayed out from the dagger is a paralyzing poison, which contains a large amount of poisonous scorpion crystals. It will make people unconscious instantly, and then slowly stop breathing in sleep. We call it dream farewell. This It is an ancient poison that came from the Kingdom of Stromgard thousands of years ago." After answering my question, the fat record officer wiped the sweat on his cheek and carefully closed the black bag in his hand. The leather notebook said, "Thank you for everything, miss, and may the Holy Light bless you." He stood up, bowed slightly toward us, and walked out.
Glancing at the record officer's leaving figure, I looked sincerely at Jin Na who was sitting in the corner of the room, "Thank you for coming back and saving our lives."
Jin Na shook the baby in her arms. As a first-time mother, all the lines on her body seemed to have turned into gentle arcs.
Being illuminated by the sunlight outside the window and the fire in the fireplace, her body seemed to be covered with a soft golden-red halo, making people feel particularly relaxed and comfortable. "I didn't go that day, Messiah." Her voice also sounded particularly relaxing and comfortable, "Mr. Ryder and Master Marcus brought people there. We will wait for you until noon...Oh my god, luckily they went, otherwise..." She didn't As he continued speaking, his eyes turned slightly red, "You can't imagine how much suffering I had during the three days when you were in a coma..."
Oh, I immediately changed the subject, "Are they all okay? Is Hunter awake?"
"Yes." She wiped her eyes and curled her mouth again, "He woke up and looked at the child. However, the miners who were poisoned twice could not open their mouths to speak, so the child has not been given the chance to speak. name."
"What about...Dallion?"
"Oh~ He's fine, don't worry. The priest from Brier said that he detoxified everyone in time and treated them. In two days at most, everyone can get out of bed at will, and they won't have to worry about it. What are the side effects?"
"I want to go see him." As I said that, I suddenly thought of something and lifted up the thick quilt. "I'll give it a try."
"Messiah……"
"Don't move, I'll do it myself."
"Put on your coat..."
"No, the fire is warm enough. Don't talk."
My legs are still heavy and weak, but I can already feel their presence.
I bit my lip and moved hard. Finally, my legs fell off the edge of the bed. When they touched the floor, I still felt the coldness of winter.
Taking a deep breath, I supported the bed frame and stood up, even though my legs were still shaking!
At that moment, I almost laughed out loud, "Look, Jinna!"
The woman in the corner nodded with a smile on her face and clenched her right fist for me. "Try to take a step." She encouraged me.
I carefully released the bed frame, put all my weight on my right foot, and then tried hard to jump forward. With a bang, I fell to my knees. I immediately supported the floor with my hands to avoid the bad luck of falling face down on the ground, but my knees were not so lucky. The dull pain from them made my temples twitch. "Oh..." I almost To roll up into a ball.
"Messiah!" Jinna suddenly stood up from the chair. Unexpectedly, this action woke up the little guy in her arms, making him cry loudly. "Oh, God! Don't cry, my baby!" "
"Don't! Coax him well, Jinna, hey... I can stand up on my own." As I said that, I looked up at her and said, "Go back to the inner room and change some clothes. Your bra is soaked."
Jin Na covered her chest in confusion, looked at me again, stamped her feet, turned around and ran into the compartment.

Can't stand up, can't stand up at all! Oh, I'm so sick of feeling so powerless!
Taking a deep breath, I climbed a few steps towards the bed. Finally, I reached the shelf. With the support of my arms, I tried my best to stand up again.
This time, it was much better. Although my legs were still shaking, they seemed to be stronger than before, and the feeling under my feet was also clearer. I could even feel the gentleness of the thin nightgown as it brushed my ankles. wind of.
Good, I might be on my feet earlier than Dallion.
When the time comes, maybe I should put him in the mattress and be unable to get up, just like he did to me!
Then, I would keep talking next to his ear, which would make him so annoyed that he would hide under the quilt and cover his head!
What should I say to him?
Maybe... we can talk about what happened when we were kids.
That thought made me bared my teeth.
At that moment, I suddenly heard the sound of thumping footsteps coming from outside the door. It stepped on the wooden stairs, which was extremely heavy and staggering. It reached the door of the room, and then, the wooden door was pushed with a bang. open.
When I saw the pale face at the door clearly, I was stunned for a moment, and then I clenched my fists in annoyance, "Dallion! They clearly said you would have to lie down for two days!"
Dallion held on to the door frame and gasped for air, making no sound. We looked at each other, and suddenly, we both laughed. He pushed away Ryder who was trying to support him, walked toward me crookedly, and then hugged me like a big bear.
"Hey! Dallion!"
"You won't refuse a hug from a friend, right?" He hugged me tighter.
His arms were thick and strong, and I couldn't push him away, so I just hugged him gently. I found that this body wrapped in thin clothes was really strong like a bear, "You are a little fat, Dallion."
"That's strong! Uncle Sadan thinks I should be stronger!"
"You are only wearing single clothes, aren't you cold?"
He put his chin on top of my head and shook his head, "...It's great that we are all still alive." After a while, he said softly.
His chest was particularly warm, and through the negligible amount of fabric and thick chest muscles, I could hear his heart beating vigorously. He still had a strong smell of blood. When I turned my head, I saw the thick white bandage on his arm. "How is your hand? Did the priest give you good treatment?"
"I am a very good paladin, Messiah," he said with some dissatisfaction. He let go of me a little and told me seriously, "Under the guidance of the Holy Light, I can heal this injury myself. And I can also treat more serious injuries." He lowered his head and looked at me, but his eyes suddenly flickered, and his ears turned suspiciously red.
I followed his gaze and looked at myself, and then I lifted up my clothes in shame, and pushed him hard with my other hand, "The Holy Light has guided you to do enough things! Darien!" My face was burning when I said that!
"Oh, no, it's not!" He immediately let go of me in a panic, but the movement was a bit large, which irresistibly involved his wound, making his whole body stiffen, and his face changed several times in an instant, " ……oh……"
My teeth ached as I felt the same. Subconsciously, I wanted to reach out to help him, but I pulled my hand back halfway because, behind him, I saw Ryder clenching his fists with a righteous look on his face, "Young Master. ! You are not a coward! Whatever the Holy Light guides you to do, you should do it bravely!"
What? !
"Ryder!" Dallion's soft hair almost stood on end.
Button button button--
At that moment, there was a gentle knock at the door, it was the fat record officer.
"Uh... I heard that you are awake. Can I ask you some questions?" He held a thick black leather book and nodded towards Dallion. "Of course, I can also wait for a while."
"No, let's do it now." Dallion felt like he was on the receiving end of an amnesty. He hurried a few steps towards the record officer, then turned around, grabbed my waist and pushed me back to the edge of the bed, "I'll come back later. Behold you, Messiah.”
Look at me?
At least until he escaped, he didn't dare to look at me, and I just stared at him, feeling a little bad.

"Your relationship is so good." Unexpectedly, Jin Na's voice came from inside. Turning around, I saw her standing at the door holding the baby, smiling.
I saw the hair scattered around her temples, and along her hair, I saw her long black shiny braid bent under her right shoulder. That thing made me feel even worse. "We're just good friends."
"Oh...Sorry, I thought you were lovers."
"No, my boy's name is Selin."
That sentence made her expression change slightly, "...Selin?"
I leaned on the edge of the bed and looked directly into her beautiful eyes, "Yes, Celine Capet, you recognize him."
"How...how could..."
"We met dozens of days ago and became lovers."
Her chest rose and fell violently, and stars seemed to be falling in her dark pupils. Quickly, she walked to the window. From my angle, I could see her shoulders twitching slightly. After a long moment of silence, she turned around and said, "Selin is a very good person. You will be very happy with him." When she said that, her voice was a little hoarse, but her eyes were bright. Be sincere.
I smiled at her, relieved, "You will be happy too, Jinna."
She lowered her eyes and looked at the sleeping baby in her arms. After a long time, a smile appeared on her face again, "Yes, I have a very good husband and a very good child." As she said that, she looked at me, the pride in her tone was clear, "He will become a great hero! Just like he is in my mind!"

"Put them all behind!" Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from outside the window, and it was Marcus's voice, "Thank you very much."
"When you get to Briar in the future, you must remember to treat us to drinks!"
"No problem! I'll invite you to 'Antlers'! The waitress there is so beautiful!"
He was answered by the heckling of the men, "Oh!"
I grabbed the bed frame and stood up. From this angle, I could just see the people downstairs carrying lumber hurriedly passing by. Those people were wearing standard armor, and behind them were brown cloaks fluttering in the cold wind. I Guess, they should be patrol soldiers from Brill.
"What are they going to do?" I couldn't help but ask, "These wood... can't build a house?"
"Yes. It looks like there will be a cremation ceremony tonight." Jinna said softly, with a hint of sadness in her tone, "For Uncle Oberon."
