442 440 Heroes and maidens (1/2)
At the end of the hall, a huge door was seated - where only the remains of the door were scattered, supposedly. It was Ayworth's sprayed metal corrosion pills.
No matter how huge and airtight it is, if it's a metal door, it's worn out by metal corrosion pills, from which other pills enter. That was another horrible drug.
The Frans step over the remains of the door and move on. And it was the prison that lay ahead. It is fitted with a metal lattice that looks sturdy.
The swordsman on the lookout was alive, but on a one-on-one basis, he's not our enemy who knows what to do. It was an instant kill.
”Garth!”
Immediately after stepping into the room, Fran rushes off. Yes, there was a Gurus down in prison. I've appraised him and he just seems unconscious.
”Mm?”
Fran grabs the iron lattice and forces it, but it doesn't come off. Apparently it was a special metal and had not deteriorated with metal corrosion drugs.
”It would be a demon steel-based alloy. That medicine doesn't work on magic metals.”
”... Shh!
Nevertheless, this degree of lattice is not an issue as long as there is no magic cancellation. Fran gently sliced the iron lattice and stepped into the prison.
”Garth? Are you okay?
……
Shake the gas gently, but no response.
”- Greater heel! What do you say?
'No. I can't wake up.'
It would be the effect of the magic potion. I don't think it's because of Ayworth's meds. Maybe.
”In the meantime, let's get Garth out”
”Mm. Ursi”
”On!”
Fran brackets the unconscious gas on Ursi's back. Traveling with mindfulness and support would also be less burdensome on the Gurus.
”What happened to Ayworth?
”Hmm?”
Ayworth was crouching in front of the barn. Looks like he's looking into Zhang's swordsman's body.
”Hmm. You want me to stick a sword in your back from here? Looks like it's going behind the spine. Endurance is...... I see. Isn't it as powerful as the Devil's Sword? Did you think of this usage from the beginning and make it? Besides, what about this procedure? This is...”
He drips mysterious liquid into his sword or checks the status of the body. On the contrary, he had pierced the eyeball with something needle-like apparatus, cut his wrist and collected blood.
”Ayworth, back up”
”Hmm. Right. Well, there seems to be nothing more here. So, was Dwarf safe?
”But I can't wake up”
”Which one? Want to see a little bit of it?”
Ayworth, with the body firmly tucked in, approaches Garth on Ursi's back. I showed wonder if Fran should stop. But in the end, he decided to leave it to Garth to examine him.
”I see...”
Ayworth is turning the mouth and eye lid of Gauls or checking the flow of magic.
”I guess it's because of the magic potion. Severe mental drainage, which also affects the flesh”
”Cure?”
”From what I've seen, there's quite a bit of pollution going on, but it hasn't reached its worst. It won't be a problem to heal over time.”
”Yes. What can I do to treat you?
”It would be the top sorcery of the healing system or detoxification by alchemy. Demonic drugs are highly influential, but several medicines exist to deal with them. You can treat him if you want, right? Dwarves invaded by magic potion are valuable specimens inside.”
No, no, because you can never leave it with Ayworth or anything! It's like rolling raw meat in front of a hungry wolf and throwing it away. You'll never be safe. I could only imagine a future in which Garth would be dissected.
”Good.”
”Hmm, do you?
”Mmm.”
”Well wait. You're telling me that you're going to be cured soon?
”Fine.”
”Mm...”
Fran seemed to have thought the same thing about me, and he clearly rejected Ayworth's words.
”Nevertheless, what will you do after this?”
I'd like to keep it safe and ask for treatment, but where should I carry it? The aristocratic city is in battle...
”Fran, let's go to the Adventurer Alliance for once. There you are, far from the aristocracy, and there may be men of war, who can be treated. '
”Go Adventurer Guild”
”Hmm. It wouldn't be a bad decision. In your position, there's no reason to keep it in the Bandit Guild.”
Unsurprisingly, Ayworth agrees. I thought you were gonna insist on keeping it with the Bandit Guild.
”Let's just keep that dwarf and go to another battlefield. I'd like to observe where they're moving.”
Was it simply that the spearhead of interest was directed at the pseudo-fanatical sword?
