The first snow of winter wasn't too heavy. The entire forest was wrapped in silver and looked exceptionally beautiful under the sun. Fangzheng leaned against the carriage door and gazed at the scenery outside. He yawned along with the rocking carriage.
Although Clark had prepared the best carriage in Sweetwater Town for Fangzheng, this was a small town, after all. It was said that this carriage had been used by the mayor of Sweetwater Town for generations. At the very least, it had a sense of history. And this rocking carriage indeed showed that … Yes, it's already not bad that it didn't fall apart.
Thinking until here, Fangzheng glanced at the young lady sitting beside him. She looked about 16 or 17 years old. Her blonde curly hair matched her fair skin and she looked as cute as a doll. At this moment, the young lady placed her hands on her chest and sincerely prayed a good morning prayer. She said that she wanted to pray for those who died in battle and hoped that their souls could return to eternal peace.
After a few moments, the young lady let out a long sigh. Then, she opened her eyes and looked at Fangzheng in embarrassment.
"Sorry, Mr. Fangzheng … Did I disturb you?"
"No, Miss Fina."
Hearing the young lady's inquiry, Fangzheng smiled and shook his head. Yesterday, he had introduced himself to the young lady. This young lady was called Fina Karstie Natley. She was a trainee Grand Priest who was currently on a patrol. The so-called patrol was actually what Fangzheng previously thought of as' going to the mountains and countryside '. However, a Grand Priest's treatment was much better than a trainee Knight's. After all, a Grand Priest wasn't a profession that focused on battle. Therefore, a trainee Grand Priest like Fina didn't need to follow Shi Dong everywhere to deal with cultists or undead like Fangzheng. On the contrary, every time they arrived at a place, they would stop at the local temple and do some work within their capabilities. For example, they would help concoct some medicine or treat some patients.
But to this young lady, her patrol was a little too exciting.
"You don't look too happy. Is there something bothering you?"
Perhaps because he was bored, Fangzheng asked curiously. He had long noticed that ever since Fina woke up, she had been a little listless, as if she had something on her mind.
"If you don't mind, why don't you tell me?"
"No, it's actually not that big of a deal …"
Facing Fangzheng's question, Fina revealed a bitter smile and sighed helplessly.
"I just feel that … I'm too stupid …"
"Stupid?"
It had to be said that this answer was really out of Fangzheng's expectations. He originally thought that this priestess was still mourning for the victims, but he didn't understand why she would change the topic to this.
"Yes …"
At this moment, Fina shrunk her body and lowered her head.
"Wasn't what I did stupid yesterday? If I could be like you, Mr. Fangzheng, then those soldiers wouldn't have suffered so much. Also … in the previous battle, if I could think more, perhaps I could have saved more people … "
"Ugh …"
Hearing until here, Fangzheng was stunned. Although Fina didn't explain clearly, he could guess why this young lady was feeling down. If Fangzheng didn't guess wrongly, this priestess had committed a problem that all rookie priests loved to commit — obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Perhaps she was the type of person who would never change targets until they were fully healed.
"You … have always done that?"
"Yes …"
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Fina lowered her head even more. She felt that if there was a hole here, she would definitely bury herself in it.
"Because I couldn't bear to see them suffer. Every time I saw the eyes of the wounded, I couldn't help but want to heal them completely …"
Sis, you're a Libra, right? There's no doubt that you have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Don't be so disappointed. How should I say … this is a common problem for rookies. It's very normal."
Fangzheng didn't know what to say and could only helplessly comfort her. He didn't notice that when he said the words' rookies', Fina's expression changed. Then, she lifted her head and looked at Fangzheng in astonishment.
"Is this true? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"More or less … At least I've seen a lot of them."
Yes, he had indeed seen a lot of healers with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the game, but this was the first time he saw one in real life.
"Is that so …"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Fina's expression was a little complicated. She seemed to be a little disappointed, but also seemed to be a little relieved. But soon, she shuddered violently and sneezed.
"Achoo!"
"Are you cold?"
Looking at the young lady rubbing her pale hands, Fangzheng was surprised. It had to be said that although this carriage had saved the two of them the hardship of a long and arduous journey, the carriage itself was too shabby, and the door was leaking air everywhere. Fangzheng didn't mind. With his body that was modified by the Zerg, he wouldn't be afraid of freezing to death even if he was thrown into space. But it was obvious that the young lady couldn't take it anymore, so Fangzheng took off his coat and covered the young lady's body.
"T-This isn't right … Mr. Fangzheng …"
Sensing Fangzheng's action, Fina hurriedly waved her hand and tried to refuse. But Fangzheng obviously didn't care about this small matter.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not cold anyway, so it's the same whether I wear it or not. On the contrary, Miss Fina, you fainted because of fatigue yesterday, so it's better not to force yourself. It will be troublesome if you fall sick. "
"Ugh …"
Facing Fangzheng's answer, Fina was obviously unconvinced. She puffed up her cheeks, but she couldn't refute. After all, it was an objective fact that the carriage was extremely cold, and she indeed fainted yesterday, so her body was much weaker than usual. Glancing at Fangzheng, Fina confirmed that he didn't have any special intentions like the people she met before. She gritted her teeth and finally reached out to take the coat that Fangzheng handed over.
"Then I'm sorry, please allow me to borrow it."
After taking the coat that Fangzheng handed over, Fina put it on. Then, she opened her eyes wide in astonishment.
Because not long after putting on the coat, Fina discovered that her originally cold body actually gradually warmed up?
This isn't a magical equipment, right?
There were a lot of magical equipment on this continent. Basically, as long as you were in the middle class, you would be able to afford some. Of course, those were the most basic items such as crystal lamps, magical furnaces, and other daily necessities for lighting and warmth. As for magical clothing, props, equipment, and weapons, they were exclusive to the bourgeoisie.
There was no other reason — they were too expensive.
If one had to make an analogy, it would be the world that Fangzheng came from. The average household basically had electric lights and natural gas, but they couldn't afford the more expensive various electronic products. Even if it was a magical clothing with a constant temperature array etched on it, only the nobles could afford it. For ordinary people, it was a sky-high price.
If it was just a magical clothing, Fina wouldn't be that surprised. There were many descendants of nobles in the palace, so she had seen many similar things. But the problem was that Fina didn't detect any magical waves from this simple coat. Besides, it didn't have the array that was unique to magical clothing. No matter how she looked at it, it was just an ordinary coat.
Looking at Fina's astonished expression, Fangzheng smiled and leaned back in his chair.
Of course, what he was wearing now wasn't the set of clothes that he wore when he transmigrated to 'Edge of Tomorrow'. That set of clothes was dirty and tattered. Besides, after Fangzheng reconstructed his body, due to the height difference between him and the original owner, that set of clothes couldn't fit into him and was thrown away by Fangzheng.
In fact, the clothes that Fangzheng wore now were custom-made clothes for him in the world of 'Edge of Tomorrow'.
Even though the civilization of that world was beaten like a dog by aliens, in terms of technological development, it was still more advanced than the world that Fangzheng lived in before his rebirth. That was why it wasn't anything special to find a clothing store there and customize a set of clothes from head to toe. Moreover, these clothes were made of lightweight nanomaterials. Not only did they have a certain degree of physical protection, but they were also extremely tough, waterproof, fireproof, and warm. Of course, such a set of clothes wasn't cheap and Fangzheng spent a lot of money on it.
What? You're asking where Fangzheng got the money from?
Hahaha, of course, it can't be that he robbed or stole. Why would Fangzheng do such a thing? He just opened the warehouse of the Bank of Paris and took a little reward.
You see, in RPG games, isn't it the basic action of a hero to enter an NPC's house and open boxes?
Creak — — —
Just as Fangzheng looked at Fina in front of him and was about to say something, the carriage suddenly came to a halt. Shortly after, a voice sounded from outside.
