"Huh, after finishing this work, you should be able to have a good rest for a few days, right?" In the afternoon, Vera said lazily while lying on the bed.
"I think it will take a few days at most. That Tamro won't let us rest so easily." Kordak was also very tired.
"Hey, Kordak." Vera turned around and asked, "Have we almost earned enough military merit? Isn't it time to go back?"
"Well..." Kordak thought for a moment and said, "If my calculations are correct, at least it will be no problem to become a squadron leader. Hey, by then I will lead hundreds of people, shouting and shouting. How majestic!”
"Okay, okay, since it's almost done, let's go back in a few days?" Vera suggested.
"You want to leave so soon? It's only been four months. It's still half a year away from what Regner said!" Kordak asked.
"Although I don't have to worry about food and clothing here, I will always get tired of going out to fight. I want to go back and rest for a few days. Even if I don't go to Merindel, it would be good to at least stay in the rear and live a stable life for a few days." Vera sighed and said, "I'm a little tired of killing people all day long."
"..." Kordak looked at Vera who looked tired and felt a little distressed. He nodded: "Okay, in two days we will tell Tamro that I quit!"
Dinner was the first meal that Regner and the others had when they returned to Costa, so the three of them took Irene to find a very good tavern and had a hearty meal. But halfway through eating, Erin suddenly remembered something.
"I have something else to do and I have to go out first." Erin stood up and said.
"Oh? Where are you going so late?" Regnar was startled: "Irene, you are dressed very strangely today. You are just having a meal. Why are you carrying a medical bag and the light of dawn? It feels like It’s like trying to save someone.”
"Hmm... more or less." Eileen didn't hide it either: "Brother Alpacino said that he has something to ask me about at eight o'clock tonight. I must go see him now. He should be injured from last time."
"..." Regnar thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
"Xiao Lei, are you relieved to do this?" Kordak asked after Irene left.
"What's wrong?" Regnar asked knowingly.
"You must have heard that there is a soldier in the fortress who seems to have been pursuing Irene recently." Kordak asked nonchalantly.
"Of course I have heard of it." Regnar pretended not to care and said, "But I believe in Eileen. How could she be abducted by such a soldier so easily? She..."
"Okay, stop pretending." Vera interrupted: "Even if you trust Irene, you still don't trust the soldier, right? It's so late at night, if the soldier gets violent, Irene may not be able to subdue him he."
"She... is a level 10 priest..." Regnar said with difficulty.
"Then how many levels of warriors do you think she can defeat?" Vera asked.
"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and finally put down his knife and walked out without saying a word.
"Young man, you obviously care, but you always pretend not to care. Are all men so mean?" Vera pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.
"Hey! Why doesn't this sound right to me?" Kordak was embarrassed.
"It's just not about the taste!" Vera chewed the steak fiercely.
…
Although Irene had arrived at the garden ten minutes early, Alpacino was still standing there.
"Sorry, I'm late." Erin replied apologetically.
"No, it's just that I came too early." Alpacino said quickly: "At the same time, I am also happy that you can come tonight."
"Of course I will come." Erin said with a smile.
"So, you won't reject me?" Alpacino was immediately happy when he heard what Irene said.
"Why refuse?" Irene tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Helping others heal is my job as a priest and a doctor."
"..." Alpacino was speechless. It seemed that he had completely misunderstood what Irene meant. Similarly, this also shows that Irene is still unaware of her feelings... This girl is really slow enough...
"Come on, stand still and I'll perform another detoxification spell on you." Erin raised her staff.
"No... Eileen, you misunderstood me..." Alpacino said helplessly: "This is not why I came to you."
"Eh?" Erin was stunned: "What's that for?"
"Are you pretending to be stupid? Or do you really don't know?" Alpacino said sadly.
"What? What do I know?" Irene was confused. Why couldn't she understand what Alpacino said tonight
"Well, it's better to tell you directly." Alpacino's face turned red, and he said with difficulty: "Ever since I was injured, you have been taking care of me carefully. You have patiently healed my injuries, changed dressings, and... Detoxify.”
"These are all what I should do." Irene smiled, but she still didn't understand what Alpacino meant.
"Maybe in your opinion, this is a very ordinary thing." Alpacino said: "But to me, no one has ever cared about me and taken care of me like this. In my eyes, you are just Like the angel in the fairy tale, pure, kind, and flawless... Erin, do you know? When you took care of me, I gradually fell in love with you... I... I like you... Erin... Are you willing to be here? When the war ends, will you become my wife?"
"..." Irene felt something was wrong when she was halfway through the sentence. When Alpacino finished speaking, she felt as if two irons had been stuffed into her face. Even though it was freezing and snowy outside, her face Still burning badly.
"Is this... is this a confession? Is Brother Alpacino confessing to me? Am I not... Irene? Am I not an ugly person? Will anyone else confess to me? Did I hear wrongly?" Irene was confused. I thought vaguely.
"Irene!" Now that the words had been spoken, Alpacino no longer cared about it. He said loudly: "I... I like you, are you willing to accept me?"
"Ah!" Irene was finally awakened by Alpacino's voice. She took a step back in horror: "No... I... no..."
"Don't you want to?" Alpacino's eyes flashed with disappointment.
"Haha, what a tragedy, Alpacino, for confessing to such an ugly guy, he can be rejected." A man laughed as he walked over, and beside him, there were two people standing. Although they were wearing casual clothes, they Alpacino still recognized them. They were members of the Costa Fortress patrol.
"Dacros, why are you here?" Alpacino was surprised.
"We have just been released from the solitary room. We must come out for some air. Thanks to you, the three of us have been locked up for two full weeks this time!" The man named Dacros said with a ferocious smile. Said: "What a coincidence. I didn't expect that I just walked out for a few steps and saw you here having a tryst with an ugly guy. Hehe, confess your love? And you were rejected! If this news spreads, do you think you will be sent back?" "
"I was the one who reported you in the first place. This matter has nothing to do with Irene. Don't hurt her!" Alpacino blocked Irene behind him.
"Then it depends on how you behave." The three of Dacros approached Alpacino slowly, and then directly hit Alpacino in the abdomen with a fighting uppercut.
"Uh..." Alpacino covered his stomach in pain. He bowed slightly and spit out two mouthfuls of stomach acid.
"Very well, don't make a sound or resist." Dacros said with a cruel smile on his face: "It seems that you are also smart sometimes."
"Brother Alpacino!" Irene ran over.
"Run... Irene, run..." Alpacino said painfully.
"No, I can't run." Irene looked up and said to the three people: "You three bad guys, according to discipline, you will be sent back if you attack your companions!"
"Then let's see if he has the guts to say it!" Dacros said and kicked Alpacino in the chest again: "I don't care, I still have a few fields at home after I go back, but what about you? Alpacino Kino? What will your parents do after you go back? Will they go begging with you? Huh?!"
As he spoke, Dacros roughly pulled away from Irene, and then the three of them started punching and kicking Alpacino again. The three of them were very insidious and did not attack obvious parts such as the face and limbs. Instead, they focused on the chest, back, and abdomen.
Although Alpacino possesses the strength of level six Dou Qi, the other three soldiers also have some foundation. Therefore, within a few blows between the three of them, Alpacino began to vomit blood.
"Stop!" Irene wanted to pounce again, but such an occasion made her completely lose her bearings. Irene never thought that she actually still had magical powers that she could use to fight.
"You ugly thing, get out of here!" Dacros stretched out his hand roughly and pushed Eileen hard.
Irene's gentle body was completely uncontrollable and flew upside down under the strong force of the warrior. Looking at the route, her head was likely to hit the edge of the flower bed!
"Irene!" Alpacino stretched out his hand desperately, but he was held down by two people and could not move at all.
A figure came over lightly, and then very accurately caught Irene who was flying upside down.
"Really, a tenth-level priest would be bullied by three fourth- and fifth-level warriors. No one else except you can do such a thing!" Regnar said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Brother Regnar!" Irene shouted in surprise.
"Okay, it's okay, let's go!" Regnar gently put down Irene and said.
"But..." Irene pointed at Alpacino, who was still restrained by Dacros. The three of them were shocked when they saw Regna's arrival, but they forgot to continue beating Alpacino.
"Don't you want to stand out?" Dacros said coldly.
"Oh, no, you go ahead and count my share by the way!" Regnar shrugged and was about to take Irene away.
