No matter from any point of view, Hussein is definitely not a good companion.
Du Wei has been with him for a day. They got everything ready, Duwe cut some twigs with a knife, got a suggested snowboard and put the unconscious Dardanelle on the board - don't expect Hussein to drag the board , that is impossible. The knight himself was covered with injuries, and he didn't know the texture of his body. Du Wei couldn't help but want to vomit after only a few glances!
Those wounds are really horrible! The flesh and blood in many places were opened, revealing the bones inside! There were also some wounds that smelled of burnt, and they were only tightly wrapped with layers of cloth.
The most frightening thing is the position of Hussein's lower abdomen. There is a black fist-sized scar in that place. I don't know what kind of scar was used to injure it. It may be something like magic. The muscles around the wound have been It turned completely black. Even those black muscles were still slowly wriggling, healing bit by bit... But while healing, there was a subtle popping sound in the muscles!
The wound healed repeatedly, and burst open again and again! One can imagine what kind of pain this is.
When Hussein bandaged the wound, he only explained later: This wound was left to him by the presiding judge of the temple, a kind of magical corrosion. Not even holy water can cure it. To be cured. There must be a great magician who expends a lot of mana to cast top-level healing techniques on him.
The strength of the presiding judge of the temple is extraordinary, and the wound left almost killed Hussein. If it wasn't for the fact that Hussein's strength was already close to that of a paladin, and he could already heal his wounds with fighting spirit to a certain extent...
But in this way, it caused the knight's great pain. He had to mobilize his grudge every minute and every second to heal the wound, and the wound itself was corroded and burst open every minute and every second under the magic damage.
In this way, a delicate balance is formed, but Hussein is in "fresh pain" every moment.
A person, with terrifying scars all over his body, has walked for so long in this damned ice and snow field. Enduring the pain enough to make people collapse all the time... Hussein's face was indifferent, except for the occasional flash of pain in his eyes, he would not even hum. When walking, I tried to straighten my waist as much as possible.
This person's temperament is not ordinary tenacity.
Under the circumstances, he was justifiably irritable.
Even in his previous life, when Du Wei occasionally had a toothache. He will also be irritable and irritable, not to mention that this knight is suffering from that level of pain all the time? He can still bear without a nervous breakdown. It's already amazing.
Du Wei tried his best not to mess with this gunpowder barrel guy. He silently pulled the sled and followed the knight in the snow.
They went all the way north along Dayuan Lake, the wind became stronger and stronger as they went northerly, and Du Wei had already turned up the collar of Pi Zhe. There is also a leather hat, which blocks most of the face, only revealing a pair of eyes, but they are still almost unable to open them due to the wind.
He couldn't even open his mouth to speak, as soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of light and wind swept snowflakes into his mouth.
Almost entirely instinctive. Du Wei walked completely behind Hussein, and Hussein's tall body blocked Du Wei a little from the wind.
Walking in the snow is very physically demanding. There were two breaks between the two, and it was Du Wei who took a knife and ran to the side to cut down those trees to make a fire for warmth. Hussein didn't say a word during this period, he just sat in silence with his eyes closed. Occasionally, there will be a trace of vindictiveness in his body.
Du Wei knew that this knight was suppressing his injury with grudge. At the same time keep warm.
This is a kind of drinking poison to quench thirst. Even if Du Wei is not a doctor, he is a knowledgeable magic pharmacist after all. He can also tell that the knight's injuries are very bad, and his physical condition is almost on the verge of collapse. Forcibly suppressing the pain with fighting qi can only be endured for a while, but it will make the injury continue to worsen.
But what about this
"Why don't you use holy water?" Du Wei sighed: "I still have a little here, which was left by the old guy just before he left."
Hussein hugged the stick, closed his eyes and said coldly: "I can't touch the holy water. I am a traitor to the temple, and I was cursed. The holy water in the temple is indeed a good thing for healing, but because of the curse on me, Not only will the holy water not heal me, but my skin will corrode as soon as it touches the holy water! This is how the temple always treats traitors."
Du Wei thought for a while, and found some medicines from his bosom. Some of these were left by the old magician, and some were collected by Du Wei on the road walking in the frozen forest with the snow wolf mercenary group these days. Some magic plants, potions made by themselves.
Although I hate this guy, after all, I am a companion now. In this ghostly place, if I encounter danger, I am afraid I still have to rely on this guy to protect me. Du Wei took out some of his wound medicine.
Hussein's face became a little more friendly, but his tone was still cold: "Thank you, but no need."
He returned the medicines to Du Wei, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
"Why?" Du Wei frowned: "This is something I configured. It is made of frost moss powder and chikel grass juice. It can heal wounds. This is the only wound medicine that can be found in this forest."
Hussein opened his eyes: "No, I said, thank you, but no need."
After a pause, the knight finally added: "The wound on my body was destroyed by a ninth-level knight with fighting energy. This kind of injury carries the power of the opponent's fighting energy, and it cannot be healed by ordinary medicine. Unless a powerful magician uses it The top-level healing technique dispels those grudges and curses. I can recover, otherwise, your medicine will only increase my pain.
Du Wei was silent.
You can think about it... think about the experience of this knight. He killed the two knight commanders of the Holy Knights of the temple! Two of the top knights of the temple, and a presiding judge! Also added an eighth-level knight, and several high-level holy knights!
This is a dauntingly glorious result, but it is not difficult to imagine how serious his injuries are after going through so many tragic battles!
"Perhaps, this is of some use to you." Du Wei suddenly touched his bosom for a while, but found out a white fruit-like thing.
Judging from its appearance, this thing looks like an ice lump. But it is covered with fine lines, holding it in the hand, a cool feeling can be felt along the skin, and there is also a faint, faint fragrance... just like the mint leaves that Du Wei knew in his previous life Same.
But this thing is not an interesting thing. To many, it is scarier than the devil!
The name of this thing is:
Iced berries!
It's something that can be used to make hallucinogens, like drugs. (Solskjaer once considered whether to use this kind of thing as a raw material to stimulate people's mental power. But he gave up later).
"Ice berry?" The knight showed a hint of surprise.
"Yes, ice berries." Du Wei smiled and said, "This kind of thing is hard to find. I also found one by accident on the road. You should know this thing, it has psychedelic ingredients... However, if you take a little A little bit of it can be used to relieve pain. You can try it, bite a little bit and swallow it. It can reduce your pain a little bit."
Just like... opium. Du Wei added in his mind that in the world of his previous life, opium and morphine were both drugs, but they were also used as painkillers.
There is no good or bad thing in itself, the key is to see how you use it.
Hussein is a man of knowledge, and this time he did not refuse. Perhaps it was because of the pain he suffered day and night that he couldn't stand it anymore. He took the ice berry, gently picked it apart with his fingernails, and put it in his mouth...
This miraculous thing is really useful, not for a moment. The knight's frown, which had been tightly frowned, relaxed a little, as if he was relieved. He opened his eyes, with a hint of relief, and his voice became more amiable: "Thank you... I really feel better. This damn pain has tortured me so much that I couldn't sleep for a few days."
After a pause, Hussein glanced at Du Wei: "You also have research on magic pharmacy? Nowadays, few magicians will spend time studying magic pharmacy, and most magicians will focus on magic experiments. , and pharmacy... Only those who cannot learn magic will study it."
Du Wei smiled: "Then you are right, I am a magic pharmacist. In fact, I don't even have the qualifications of a magician."
Hussein didn't find it strange either, and said indifferently, "Oh, then what's the relationship between you and that old man?"
Immortal? Du Wei thinks this title is very interesting.
"What about you? What's your relationship with him?" Du Wei didn't answer, but asked instead.
Hussein was silent, he thought for a while, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that he can be regarded as my senior brother, our strength comes from the same teacher."
brother
Du Wei couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard you're only thirty years old, right? That old guy is probably hundreds of years old...you..."
"No, I'm thirty-one years old this year. That old guy...God knows how old he is! Hmph." Hussein didn't seem to want to talk about this topic: "He and I are just brothers in name, but I'm actually not I like him." After a pause, he stopped talking about this topic, and then said, "What about you? You probably don't even look fifteen years old. Who are you? Why did you come here?"
"It's not that I haven't reached the age of fifteen, but that I'm under the age of fourteen." Du Wei shrugged: "I belong to the Luo Lin family. Why did you come here... You have to ask the old guy this question. He was the one who caught me here."
"The Luo Lin family..." Hussein thought for a while, and suddenly smiled. He actually smiled. This murderous guy had a happy look in his eyes. Looking at Du Wei: "Ah! I seem to have heard of you. You are very famous in the imperial capital. The idiot son of the Luo Lin family, a few years ago, the aristocratic circles in the imperial capital were talking about you."
"You've heard of it too." Du Wei didn't care about the idiot's words at all.
"Yes." Hussein seemed to be immersed in the memories: "The uncle of the knight commander Luke was a nobleman, and I was invited to his uncle's banquet... At that time, Luke told me that the most recent The latest news is that Earl Raymond's son is an idiot, and his uncle originally planned to marry the Rollins family. After hearing the news, he was too scared to mention it. I remember Luke... "
Having said this, Hussein suddenly closed his mouth. There was a glint of haze in his eyes.
Du Wei didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at the knight quietly.
"Luke... was killed by me."
After a long time, Hussein suddenly said this in a low voice.
There was an indescribable, deep-rooted sadness in his cold voice, and a deep pain flashed in the knight's eyes, and he shook his head vigorously: "Yes, Luke was killed by me, and Kai Knight Commander. They all died by my sword."
Du Wei didn't speak. Hussein has already turned his eyes to the distance, his voice seems to be talking to himself: "Oh... Lord Luke, Lord Kaili... and Gofeet, poor Gofeet, I am the same as me Big, when we were young, we were trained in the temple together, and passed the assessment together to enter the Holy Knights. He was like my brother... my brother... but I pierced his heart with my own hands. Let me think. Who else? … oh, and Stella, that fervent Southern guy who always prayed with a thick southern accent, and we all laughed at him when we were kids, and I cut him in two! And …”
Du Wei suddenly saw it in surprise. A tear slowly rolled down Hussain's cheek.
"They are all my friends, my brothers, and my comrades-in-arms. We trained together, learned martial arts together, practiced together, and rode together... Now they died by my sword..." Hussein's eyes Started to get frantic. He suddenly shouted loudly: "Why! Why!! Do you fucking know why!!"
He stood up suddenly, staring at Du Wei with bloodshot eyes, and growled, "Do you know why this is!! Do you know!!"
"...I don't know." Du Wei frowned. He realized that something was wrong with the knight's mental state, and stepped back a little cautiously.
"Because...hahahaha..." Hussein suddenly laughed unconsciously, with a frivolous taste in his laughter: "Because! Because of His Majesty the Pope! ***, His Majesty the Pope said, "Oh, this is God Will! ", and then, we are required to bleed, and we are required to die!! Everything is because of this damned sentence! This damned "God's will"!
"Knight Hussein." Du Wei said in a deep voice, "You are too excited, sit down first."
Hussein took a deep look at Du Wei, his eyes were still very strange, as if there was a trace of...disorder.
But he still sat down, and this action made Du Wei feel a little relieved.
"Hey, boy, do you know why I was hunted down by the temple? Why did I become a traitor to the temple? I, Hussein! Since I was thirteen years old, everyone in the Knights has regarded me as the pride of the temple They think that I am the greatest knight in a hundred years! They even think that I will definitely become the head of the Holy Knight Order in the future! Only a Holy Knight can become the head! The Holy Knight Order has not had a head for a hundred years! But I will definitely become a paladin! I will be the leader of the Holy Knights of the temple! Haha! But now, I am being hunted down like a mouse! Hide!!”
Hearing Hussein's tone gradually become violent, and his eyes became more and more disordered, Du Wei gradually felt uneasy!
Suddenly, his heart moved!
Oh no!
Look at the bitten ice berry in the knight's hand!
Du Wei understood where the problem was!
Iced berries! ! I'm afraid the amount of ice berries is too much! The spirit of the knight is disturbed by this magical plant, just like the mental confusion that people get after taking drugs!
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Du Wei found that the tree stick held by the knight had been crushed in his palm!
"Do you know... If everything can be done again... I will never choose to enter that damned church! Damn it... the church!!" Hussein gritted his teeth.
Church
Du Wei knew the name. The sanctuary was a place in the temple where the badges of the deceased holy knights were stored.
All dead holy knights, their badges will be stored in the sanctuary and be blessed by the gods.
"Just the year before last, before I became the third knight commander... His Majesty the Pope, according to tradition, let me serve as the guardian of the temple for a year." Hussein's voice sank, and his mental state was completely lost in memory. Among them: "The guardian of the temple. This is the process that every knight commander of the holy knight order must go through before taking office. When I was awarded the guardian of the temple, everyone knew that I would become the knight commander. Yes... However, I didn't expect that it was the beginning of my nightmare!! The beginning of a nightmare!" Hussein suddenly laughed, his smile was in the ice and snow, and with the strong wind, his voice vibrated like a ghost...
"Boy, do you know who is the most powerful and greatest holy knight in the history of the temple? Do you know?"
"... Uh... It's you?" Du Wei replied cautiously. He felt that the knight was crazy, and his spirit was a little abnormal at the moment. It's better not to offend him.
"Me? What am I! Compared to that person, I'm just an ant!" Hussein's tone suddenly became extremely reverent: "In hundreds of years... no, even a thousand years! There have been countless powerhouses, such as the number one warrior in the mainland, the strongest knight in the mainland, the strongest magician in the mainland, the number one magician in the mainland... and so on, etc. Over the past hundreds of years, there have been many, many such powerhouses... But only A title, only one person has obtained it in the past thousand years!"
"What title?"
Hussein took a deep breath, and a morbid red appeared on his cheeks: "The number one strongest under the stars!"
The strongest under the starry sky
This title is indeed more prestigious than the number one warrior in the mainland.
Du Wei licked his tongue: "Who is this person?"
"This person is a former holy knight, and his holy knight badge is stored in the temple." Hussein shook his head: "Unfortunately, it has become my nightmare."
Du Wei had already whetted his appetite, and he carefully used soft words to guide Hussein to say: "This person is..."
"Your Majesty the founding emperor of the great Roland Empire, the founder of the great empire... the only person who has qualified to be the strongest man under the starry sky for thousands of years... Aragorn Roland! His strength lies in the fact that no one can copy it! Because he is not only The top number one magician! He was also the strongest knight at the time..." After a pause, Hussein added: "Holy knight! His Majesty the founding emperor, once joined the Holy Knights! He has the Holy Knight badge, which is stored in In the sanctuary! That badge has become my... nightmare!"
