Chapter 116

Orfrey whispered, "No master wants to mess with a powerful adventurer."

Xie Juanhan understood. "Was that powerful adventurer a necromancer or a similar class?"

The three Orfrey exchanged fearful glances and nodded.

Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei.

Telingewei didn't care about such a trivial matter at all.

Even a mere human, let alone a necromancer, is no match for a dragon.

Xie Juanhan didn't care at all; his attributes were naturally incompatible with those of necromancers.

Xie Juanhan had a rather favorable impression of the village across the river, and he often looked at it to pass the time in his spare time.

Xie Juanhan looked at the anxious Orfrey and nodded. "Lead the way."

A huge weight lifted from Orfrey's heart, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, sir! I knew you were so kind; you could have done the right thing!"

Chapter 116 [VIP]

In the chicken coop of a family in Ailan Village.

A man with flaxen-white hair lay face down on a chicken coop made of thick, dry straw.

Thick blood gushed out, leaving paw prints as the chickens trampled it.

It's clear that when the man hid in the chicken coop, he must have startled the hens into flying away.

A few chicken feathers are still floating on the back of his head.

The finger wearing the skull ring also had several scratches from the chicken claws.

"Coo coo."

With so many creatures swarming in, the chickens became even more uneasy, huddling in a corner and squawking softly.

"Sir, this is the adventurer."

Orfrey stood to one side with the villagers, their faces full of bitterness.

"We didn't know when this person had hidden here. By the time we heard the commotion, it was already like this."

Moli sniffed the scent of blood.

Nibote followed along, sniffing.

Because he didn't have a long snout, when Nibote bent down to sniff, his beard accidentally got stained with blood, and he froze on the spot.

It stood frozen for a long time, wanting to lick it but disgusted by the blood's filth; if it didn't lick it, it would be even more disgusted.

It turned its head, intending to smear the blood on the dry grass of the chicken coop, but when it got closer, it smelled chicken droppings.

After a pause, it turned its head without hesitation and rubbed against Habu.

Habu didn't realize what was going on at all, and it wasn't until Nibote had been rubbing against him for a while that he realized what the guy was doing.

Habu instantly stood up on its hind legs, angrily raising its paw to pounce on Nibote: "Chirp!"

While the furry creatures were playing around, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei stepped forward and turned the necromancer over to check him:

A high-level necromancer, at least at the level of Archmage.

The wound was on the abdomen, and it looked like it was inflicted by Demonic Beast.

He's in good physical condition and should have plenty of adventure experience.

Despite bleeding like this, there's no sign of him dying; he can still be treated.

Since he's still alive, Xie Juanhan said, "Let's take him to see a doctor."

When Orfrey and his companions saw that Xie Juanhan and his group were willing to help, their faces lit up with joy. "Shall we go find the carriage?"

Xie Juanhan: "No need. We probably won't find a suitable doctor in town. We need to take him to Teme Port."

The doctors in towns are just so-so; they turn minor illnesses into major ones, and major illnesses into terminal ones.

If the patient dies during treatment, the doctor will probably have to pay with their life; they would be considered to have harmed the patient.

Send them directly to Teme Port; the doctors there are experienced and have a higher chance of curing them.

What if the adventurer wasn't injured by Demonic Beast, but by an enemy?

Even if his enemies were hunting him down for revenge, they wouldn't necessarily target the doctor.

Xie Juanhan turned his head and looked at Nibote, gesturing for it to come forward.

Nibote was being beaten and had no idea what was happening.

Once everyone's attention was on it, it shrank its head, glared, and meowed.

Xie Juanhan patted its neck. "You've worked hard. I'll make you something delicious when we get back."

Nibote smelled the necromancer and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

It really doesn't want to carry it.

Telingewei was even less inclined to take the blame.

After hesitating for a while, Nibote walked up and, abandoning his usual soft tone, gruffly cried out, "Meow!"

You can carry it if you insist, but you must wrap it in a waterproof cloth so that no blood gets on its beautiful fur!

Xie Juanhan saw that it agreed and patted it, saying, "Good Griffin!"

Nibote, still with his husky voice, exclaimed, "Aww!"

Xie Juanhan and his group quickly sent the necromancer to Teme Port.

Telingewei knew many people in the Adventurers' Association.

They found a relatively reliable doctor for the necromancer, paid the fee, and then left it at that.

Anyway, they weren't people I knew.

Xie Juanhan also refused to accept the butter and other rewards donated by Ailan Village through fundraising.

The villagers have it tough; it's just a small matter, and they don't deserve any payment.

With things getting busy at home, Xie Juanhan quickly put the matter out of his mind.

That day, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were cooking.

The little ones, who were waiting outside the kitchen for food, suddenly smelled an unfamiliar scent and turned to bark at the other side of the river.

Moli shouted the loudest, his voice carrying a stern warning.

"What's wrong?" Xie Juanhan also smelled the unfamiliar odor and came out of the kitchen. "Who's here?"

"Hey!" A voice suddenly called out from across the river, "My name is Tuoyin, the adventurer you rescued."

"Your Excellency the Dragon King, Your Excellency the Silver Dragon?"

Please allow me to repay you.

Xie Juanhan walked to the riverbank.

Telingewei followed silently behind him.

Xie Juanhan only realized that the necromancer Tuoyin he went from lying down to standing.

Perhaps because she's not very old and comes from a good family, she's able to maintain this kind of enthusiasm.

"Hello," Xie Juanhan said. "As for repaying you, let me first settle your medical expenses: two gold coins and seven silver coins. Thank you."

"Lord Silver Dragon?" Tuoyin's gaze fell on Xie Juanhan's face, staring intently at him. "You must be the legendary Lord Silver Dragon?"

Telingewei narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tuoyin quickly looked away, frantically pulling out gold and silver coins from his purse and tossing them over. "Okay, this is for my medical expenses."

Xie Juanhan did not reach out to take it.

The Companion Beast leaped nimbly, catching each coin in their mouths with a "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan to Tuoyin Yin, indicating that he could leave now that he had paid his medical bills.

"Uh, this is just repayment, and also repayment," Tuoyin said. "Please let me repay you, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Xie Juanhan didn't refuse. "Then give me ten more gold coins as payment for Nibote to carry you to Teme Port."

Nibote stood to the side, his eyes widening instantly, staring intently at Tuoyin on the opposite bank, his eyes full of anticipation.

Tuoyin clutched the money bag and emptied all the coins inside into his palm. "Um, could I exchange it for something in return? I only have two gold coins, thirteen silver coins, and twenty-two Sona left."

Xie Juanhan also saw it. "Equivalent magical materials or Demonic Core will also work."

"... Lost it." Tuoyin Xie Juanhan and the others' expressions, Toin scratched his cheek and explained, "By the goddess, I'm not lying. When I was injured, my magic ring, along with several ordinary rings, was lost."

Tuoyin's voice trailed off. "Or I could go earn some gold coins first and repay you in a few days?"

Xie Juanhan didn't want to be bothered by this necromancer a second time. He thought for a moment and asked, "You studied at the Euphemia Royal Academy?"

Tuoyin: "I've read it before."

Xie Juanhan had guessed he had studied at the university based on the school badge on his clothes, so he asked, "Did you graduate? Did you pass your exams?"

Tuoyin blankly, "You can only graduate if you pass all the tests."

Xie Juanhan nodded. "I remember your curriculum includes quite a few theoretical courses, so your theoretical foundation should be quite solid?"

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei had visited several magic academies when they were in the royal Ahaman City.

At the time, there were no outstanding theorists who could help Xie Juanhan calculate spatial coordinates.

After Xie Juanhan returned, he read many books on spatial abilities and listed out a number of formulas. He already had a general idea and didn't need any scholar to help him deduce from scratch. He could just find someone to do the hard work.

Xie Juanhan invited Tuoyin over, led him to the study, and took out a thick stack of draft paper.

"I've been working on these formulas lately, and they're a bit messy. If you'd like to repay us, could you help me calculate them?"

Tuoyin: "..."

Xie Juanhan looked up at him. "You don't know?"

Tuoyin: "Yes, yes, a little bit."

Xie Juanhan smiled and said, "I guess someone like you, who became a high-level mage at such a young age and received formal education at a magic academy, should be able to..."

Tuoyin didn't answer, only chuckled dryly, "Heh heh."

Xie Juanhan moved a chair over and sat down next to him, asking him to do the calculations.

Tuoyin he worked, his face turned pale, and cold sweat began to break out.

Telingewei went to the kitchen next door to cook.

Harper and the others tiptoed away quietly.

Only Xie Juanhan and Tuoyin remained in the study, engrossed in their calculations.

After calculating for a long time, Tuoyin he was seeing double.

He swallowed hard, his voice hoarse, and said, "I can only calculate this part."

Xie Juanhan glanced at it and, seeing that he had only calculated two formulas, wasn't disappointed. "Wait a moment, I'll check the calculation first."

Xie Juanhan calculated it by himself several times, but each time the result was a bit messy.

He's not very good at calculations, but checking is much simpler than calculating, so it's not a problem for him.

"It seems to be correct." Xie Juanhan looked at the calculated numbers, not quite sure.
