163 Energy is Very Expensive
Fang Ping guessed that this might not be the case.
He took the ox cart and left Canaan with a group of people. It was not the first time Han Lin gave other a lift. Tang Jie was not worried about letting him go.
Perhaps only people in high positions knew about these things.
However, Fang Ping also knew some things. Why could he awaken with just one Awakening Stone? Why did he learn skills so quickly? It seemed that it was not because he was special, but because he had undergone mutation.
Moreover, there was a large group of people like him.
Canaan…
What was the truth?
…
Machete City’s guards.
“Everyone, rest for half an hour.”
All the soldiers began to organize their things in an orderly manner. They took out their dry rations and sat down to rest. As they ate, they massaged their muscles.
“General, Archbishop Fao is here.”
“Archbishop Fao, what’s the matter? If the march is too fast and the Vatican army can’t keep up, we can slow down. We’ll go first, you guys can come later.”
Archbishop Fao smiled. “There’s no need. I’ve long heard that General Van Helsing’s army is well-trained. If a mere escort team has such standards, the Vatican army naturally can’t fall behind.
“I’ve come this time because I’ve received news. The Elven City’s Lord’s Guards have been severely injured. They’ll head to the Dwarf City first. After meeting up with us, we’ll set off together.”
“Heavily injured… Everyone, prepare to set off!”
Thud thud thud thud thud.
The crisp sound of hooves came from the cave ahead.
The three cavalrymen came to the front of Fang Ping’s team and said something to Elsa.
Fang Ping’s team stopped. Teacher Elsa turned around and shouted, “Forbidden Spell Masters who have learned Purification, come out!”
He seemed to have encountered this situation before. Fang Ping was the only one in his team.
Fang Ping waved his hand and squeezed forward. “I, I know how.”
A cavalryman jumped down from his horse. The crowd parted to the sides. He ran over, grabbed Fang Ping, and ran back.
Fang Ping was picked up by his waist and slung over. He wanted to struggle, but after some thought, he decided against it.
Since he was in such a hurry, the situation must be very urgent.
“Sorry.”
He put Fang Ping down on the carriage and mounted his horse. He pulled on the reins and charged forward. The other two soldiers quickly followed.
In front of the warhorse was a torch that was burning with oil. The thick black smoke made Fang Ping unable to open his eyes.
The sound of hoofbeats echoed through the cave. It was dark ahead.
It was also dark behind him.
After bouncing on the warhorse for a while, they finally saw the flames in front of them.
Behind them, carriages were moving. Fang Ping saw it too. Every carriage had signs of damage. They were nailed with wooden strips of leather, like large patches stuck to the carriages.
The number of soldiers at the front was also significantly reduced, and the team was much smaller.
It seemed that many people had really died.
The warhorse stopped beside a horse carriage. Fang Ping was carried down again. He pointed at the carriage that was still moving forward slowly. “Get in quickly. He’s inside!”
Only then did Fang Ping notice that there were a few warhorses beside this carriage. One of them was particularly eye-catching. Its blue armor shone brightly in the firelight.
Fang Ping gave a simple bow to Captain James, then jogged to catch up to the carriage and jumped in.
It was very dark in the carriage. There were no torches, but by the light of the flames outside, he could vaguely see that there were three people lying in the carriage, and two were standing on one side.
The person standing was a woman. Her helmet was thrown aside and her hair was tied up, but it still looked very messy. She was leaning against the carriage with her eyes closed.
Another person was kneeling on the carriage, wiping a person who was lying on the ground. When he saw Fang Ping coming up, he quickly stood up and welcomed him.
“You’re the team’s Forbidden Spell Master, aren’t you? Come quickly. Cleanse the three of them. Use it on the middle first. Don’t worry, we’ll compensate you for the amount of energy you’ve lost.”
Fang Ping thought to himself, ‘My energy is very expensive.’
He pulled Fang Ping inside. The black rag in his hand brushed against Fang Ping’s arm. Fang Ping only felt a little wet and sticky.
Could it be all blood?
No matter what, he still raised the Starry Sky Staff. “Purify.”
Starlight flew out from the staff and landed on the person in the middle.
Fang Ping could clearly feel the grip on his hand relax a little.
The Purification skill mechanism was similar to the Armor Forbidden Spell. As long as the effect was over and there was enough energy, it could be used continuously, unlike the Fireball skill. Even after it exploded, it had a long cooldown period.
He raised the Starry Sky Staff and said to the person on the left, “Purify.”
After a moment, he looked at the person on the right. “Purify.”
“Three have been purified. What’s their situation? Are they alright now?”
The person holding Fang Ping’s hand quickly let go and knelt down to check on them.
He glanced at the female soldier beside him. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her facial features were well-defined. The faint marks left by time did not stop Fang Ping from thinking that she was beautiful.
Her name was Doreen.
...
Fang Ping used a special ability on her. She opened her eyes just as he looked at the name. Suddenly, their eyes met. Fang Ping felt a little awkward. He felt like he was peeping at her.
“Excellent-grade purification?”
Doreen looked at Fang Ping. “Upgraded or Enlightened?”
“Enlightened.”
“Doreen!” The man on the ground threw back his head. “The poison is weakening!”
Doreen’s tired face broke into a smile. ‘That’s good.’
Fang Ping tried asking, “What happened to them? Do they still need healing spells?”
Doreen looked at Fang Ping in confusion. “Learned Purification and healing skills at the same time? Are you from the treatment institute?”
“Nope.”
“There’s no need. They’ve been affected by a special characteristic and have already drunk a healing potion. Now that the poison has weakened, they’ll slowly recover.”
It didn’t sound serious. Was there a need to look for him in such a hurry?
...
“Are there no Forbidden Spell Masters among the Lord’s Guards?”
“There is.” Doreen pointed at the person lying in the middle. “That’s him, our vice-captain. He’s the only Forbidden Spell Master who has learned Purification and the Touch of Holy Pureness. He’s been treating the injured. If he hadn’t fainted, we wouldn’t have known that he was also affected by a characteristic.”
The person kneeling on the ground tilted his head and looked at him. “The vice-captain doesn’t even have the energy to cleanse himself.”
“If it’s possible, can you pay me? I’ll go back too.”
Doreen leaned against the carriage and slowly moved down. She sat down. “Let’s wait a little longer and see how it goes. If his condition has stablized, we’ll pay.
Fu Sheng, go out and explain the situation to Captain James before washing the cloth.”
“Okay.”
Fu Sheng took the cloth and walked out of the carriage. The outside suddenly became noisy.
In the dim carriage, there were only three people lying down, and then there’s Fang Ping and Doreen.
Fang Ping also sat down and looked at the three people who were lying upright.
The two on the left and right had many cloth strips wrapped around their bodies. They were seriously injured.
“How old are you?”
Doreen spoke first, her voice soft as the wind.
“Well … almost sixteen.”
“You’re not even 16 years old yet? Which Chamber of Commerce are you from?”
