When Rob opened his eyes again, it was already dusk the next day. In other words, Archmage had been unconscious for a day and a night. The first thing Rob did when he woke up was to check his wound. He found that his right arm had been bandaged, and Lolo was lying by his bed. She seemed to have just fallen asleep. The girl's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had cried not long ago.
The teenager felt a little thirsty. He wanted to sit up, but he felt dizzy. He could not exert much strength in his right arm, and he almost fell off the bed.
However, his struggle had awakened the rookie, The Brave. Lolo rubbed her eyes, and when she saw that the young scholar had regained consciousness, she was surprised and happy. "You're awake?"
However, the joy on the girl's face only lasted for a moment. After saying that, her eyes turned red again, and she said in a sobbing tone, "Rob, are you an idiot? I asked you if your shoulder was okay, and you lied to me and said it was just a small injury. It was so serious, and yet, you carried me so far. I knew that you were so weak. How could you have saved me from those three guys so easily?"
As Luo Luo spoke, she burst into tears again.
In the past day and night, the girl's emotions had never fluctuated so much. After her father passed away, she thought that she, who was carrying a huge secret on her back, could only walk alone for the rest of her life. She didn't expect that the youth would suddenly appear and inexplicably become her guardian knight. Perhaps Luo Bu didn't fully realize what this meant for Luo Luo's life.
Last night was the first time in many years that Luo Luo had opened her heart to someone. Before this, Luo Luo had never thought that one day she would be able to tell everything that had happened to her to another person without hiding anything. The little scholar seemed to have a unique temperament that always made people feel inexplicably at ease.
After that, the teenager's reaction did not let the girl down. In the face of a giant like the temple that everyone feared, Rob was as calm as usual.
It was also at that moment that Lolo's heart suddenly felt less afraid of the future. Because she knew that no matter what happened, even if she was abandoned by everyone, there would always be someone in this world who would always stand behind her.
The sea breeze at night was very cold, but the teenager's back was very warm.
Is this how it feels to have a companion?
On the way back to the inn, although Lolo kept her head down, the joy in her heart was overflowing.
However, the girl did not expect that her joy would not last too long. When Lolo saw the teenager again, he was actually struggling on the verge of death.
When the Archmage used his rich knowledge and successfully knocked himself out with a mug of ale, Lolo was still tossing and turning on the bed, thinking about her own troubles. Suddenly, the girl heard a muffled thud from next door, as if something heavy had hit the ground.
The first thing that came to her mind was that the people from the temple had secretly followed them, and then when the two of them were separated, they despicably ambushed the young scholar.
Thinking of this, Lolo could no longer stay calm. She did not even bother to put on her clothes. She grabbed the sword by the bedside, wrapped herself in the quilt, and rushed out of the room as fast as she could.
She first shouted at the teenager's door twice, but there was no response from the room. The rookie The Brave's heart sank. Not daring to delay, she directly knocked on the door and rushed in.
The scene in the room made her expression change. The young scholar was lying motionless on the ground with his eyes closed. There was blood everywhere, and the whole room looked like a slaughterhouse.
Luo Luo's head exploded in an instant.
The two of them had not separated for long, and the teenager was still fine when they said goodnight. It was not even a magic hour, so how did he suddenly suffer such a serious injury? And contrary to what the rookie The Brave imagined, there was no trace of a third party in the room. Lolo's gaze shifted to the teenager's right arm, and she was shocked.
Only then did she realize that the shoulder injury that the teenager had casually brushed off not long ago was actually this serious. Combined with the messy tools around him, Lolo quickly deduced that Rob must have had an accident when he was treating his wound alone.
In that short moment, Lolo's heart was completely engulfed by a sudden wave of fear.
How did this happen? She was clearly immersed in the joy of having a companion, and in the next second, reality played a cruel joke on her. Looking at the teenager lying in a pool of blood, his vital signs were getting weaker and weaker.
At that moment, the girl only had one thought in her mind. No matter what, she had to take back her guardian knight from the hands of the Grim Reaper!
… (̄ ﹏ ̄) … …
Rob scratched his head, looking a little awkward. The future Supreme Magus Your Honor had to admit that he had gone overboard this time. He had obviously overestimated his healing ability and pain tolerance. A cup of ale poured on the future guardian knight of the group and he actually fainted from the pain. This was indeed a little embarrassing.
And after he woke up, he could not remember what happened after that. Looking at his right arm that was wrapped like a dumpling, Archmage probed, "You bandaged it for me?"
The anxiety and grievances accumulated in the girl's heart were released with the loud cry just now. After crying, Luo Luo sniffled and said, "What else? I stopped the bleeding for you, and you woke up once in the middle of it. You pulled me aside and repeatedly told me not to let others see your wounds. You even said that you were fine and that you would be fine after a good sleep."
Rob broke into a sweat. Had he ever said such tough words? In fact, if it wasn't for the rookie Brave who came in time last night, he would have become a corpse by now. Thinking of this, Archmage felt a little scared.
However, Lolo's bandaging skills were surprisingly good. Rob could clearly feel that the injury on his right arm was under control. The wound was stitched up, and in order to stop the bleeding and speed up the healing, the girl seemed to have put some kind of herb in it.
"What's so strange about that? Treating wounds is an essential survival skill for every adventurer. Sometimes, it's worse when you're alone in the wild. If you're not treated in time, your life might be in danger. Many adventurers carry herbs like this with them."
