I felt the strong wind coming from behind me, and the exclamation of Xiya came from behind me.
The old woman actually picked up the steel-like broom and hit Dick hard on the back of the head.
At this critical moment, Dick threw the dagger at his waist backwards, with the target being the old woman's heart.
But...
There was a "thud", and Dick felt a huge pain in the back of his head. He had been hit by a witch.
He managed to get up and turned around, only to find two Jatu soldiers holding shields appearing next to Broom Witch, blocking the daggers.
"How is that possible?"
Dick was very puzzled. He had clearly marked the heart position of everyone in this aisle just now, so why did two Jatu soldiers suddenly appear?
"Witcher, your end has come!"
With a grin on her face, the old woman swung the broom down again. This time Dick was extremely weak and unable to resist anymore.
There was a "bang" sound, and the sound of a skull breaking was heard.
At the same time as the severe pain came, Dick fell into darkness.
Dick gasped loudly and suddenly sat up from the bed.
I touched the back of my head and found no wounds or any pain.
Is it a dream?
Why are you dreaming about Broom Witch again?
What's going on? Is it just because I didn't get enough rest?
Dick lowered his head and found that he was still wearing the nightgown he had worn before going to bed, not School of the Lynx's demon hunter armor.
Then he put his left hand into his right shoulder and touched it gently:
Huh?
The hollow part of the flesh torn by the giant mantis has completely grown out.
Moreover, I can feel that the outermost layer of fleshy membrane has gradually become thicker. I believe that it will return to its original appearance within a few days and fully recover as before.
It seems that [Intermediate Self-Healing] cannot achieve this healing speed.
Dick stood up and looked around. The wall lamp had been lit and the room was bright.
He opened the door. Outside the door, the previous maid was waiting, still holding folded clothes in her hands, with a respectful look on her face. "Master Dick, you are awake."
"What are you talking about?" Dick pointed at the object in the maid's hand.
"We will be attending the celebration banquet soon, so please change into this outfit."
Dick nodded, picked up the clothes and returned to the room.
After changing into this dress, I walked out again.
The little maid's eyes suddenly brightened up, and then her cheeks turned red again.
"What's wrong with you?" Dick lowered his eyes.
"Nothing much, I just feel that Master Dick, your daily attire is really handsome."
Dick pursed his lips and smiled, "Then you can lead the way."
"I won't go, Master Dick. We are only on the third floor. Can't you just go straight to the living room along the stairs?"
"Oh, yes."
Soon Dick came to the lobby on the first floor.
Looking forward, in the hall, Kebi is sitting on the chair in the center of the long table.
There was an empty seat on the left side of the long table, which he probably reserved for himself.
On the right is a lady with two thick braids draped over her shoulders. She is none other than Xiya's master, the illusion master Barbara.
Next to Barbara was sitting the quasi-warlock Xiya.
When the latter saw Dick arriving, he looked over with a smile.
The other guests near the long table were Captain Fisher, the dwarf blacksmith, and the dwarf jeweler Val. There was no one else.
"Dick, you're here, sit down." Kebi pointed to the empty seat beside him and said.
Dick was not polite and sat down directly.
He then quietly looked at Barbara across from him, who had a meaningful smile on his face and said nothing.
Dick wanted to ask Xiya some questions, but it was obvious that the scene was wrong at this time, because he knew that next Kebi should give a solemn speech and distribute pensions to the families of the soldiers who had died in battle.
Unexpectedly, Kebi clicked on a small wooden box in front of him and pushed it directly to Dick, "Dick, this is your reward this time."
"50 gold Kelang?"
"How do you know? Dick, I didn't expect you to be able to predict things like a god."
Dick did not answer. He opened the wooden box and found 50 gold Kelang neatly arranged inside. He was not polite and put it directly into the bag.
And Kebi had already raised his wine glass and started eating and drinking with the people around him.
"Dick, why don't you start eating and drinking?" Kebi asked.
"Huh? Kebi, don't you still want to give a speech? There are also businessmen in the city. Why didn't they come?
"By the way, do you have the pension blond hair for those fallen soldiers?"
"Dick, do you think I'm just a freeloader? All the pensions have been paid out while you were sleeping for such a long time."
It seems that after experiencing this life and death battle, Kebi became more casual and approachable when talking to Dick.
"As for the other businessmen you mentioned except the big jeweler Val, I thought they were too formal in their speech, so I didn't let them come.
"And Val doesn't need my pension. He will personally pay the money to the families of the strong men guarding Odinburg."
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed across Kebi's face, probably in memory of those dead soldiers.
"Yes, Dick I have money, Kebi doesn't need to spend any money." Val at the table said with a smile,
"Kebi, don't be too sad. Things are unpredictable. Just like the eight bodyguards I recruited, all died in the battle this time, but the pension will be enough so that their families can have enough food and clothing."
Kebi nodded slowly when he heard this.
Dick looked shocked. At this time, he had guessed that it was probably not Dreamscape, but he couldn't tell for sure.
In fact, the previous scenes were too realistic, and now Dick still feels a dull pain in the back of his head.
"Okay, this time we are just a few acquaintances. You see, even Zeus didn't bring his apprentice. Let's have a good drink. Actually, according to my wishes..."
Having said this, he looked at Barbara with respect, "I don't even want the illusion master to attend our celebration banquet, but who would want the master to come and have a look?"
The latter just nodded after hearing this, raised his cup and took a sip, then looked towards Dick.
When the others saw that the illusion master had already started drinking, the dwarf blacksmith couldn't wait to speak, "Then let's get started, no more ink stains."
After saying that, the others also raised their glasses, and for a while they drank and drank among each other, and it gradually became very lively.
The main reason is that Captain Fisher is good at complimenting others. He keeps talking and won't repeat his words. First, he praised Dick like a flower.
He also said that Kebi was a wise man, Barbara and Xiya had boundless magic power, the master blacksmith was extremely brave, and the big jeweler came to the rescue in times of need.
In short, everyone present praised it.
Finally, Fisher also concluded. "The warlock is tall, the demon hunter is hard, Kebi, the young master is tall and hard!"
The blacksmith Zeus was also inspired by the atmosphere and started chatting loudly with several people around him.
He is a cheerful person and likes to chat constantly.
"Dick, do you know how many forces there are in this continent?" Zeus asked, his face was red from drinking.
"We have Northern Kingdoms, which is Ravenstern." Dick, who was also a little drunk, began to stumble, "There is also Bacchus Empire and Sarleon."
"By the way, Jatu Plains also counts."
"Small, you know quite a lot. In fact, there are other forces, such as Noldor Forest. The elves there never let humans enter." Zeus burped.
"I was passing by Noldor Forest back then, and I was almost shot into a sieve by those long ears."
After saying that, the dwarf snorted coldly, "Besides, there are also southern countries on this continent, and their forces are mixed. The most powerful person there calls himself the king, and the others call themselves leaders."
"What's interesting is that the names of the leaders are various, such as Monster, Red Hair, Straw Hat, and Fatty.
"It is said that because the area in the south is close to the sea, many leaders are pirates, so even if they become the leader of a party, they still get their nicknames from their pirate days.
"And the leader known as 'Red Hair' likes to break up fights and always likes to say to others, 'Can you give me some face?'"
