"Brother Regnar..." Irene turned her head. She originally wanted Regnar to help her get the medical kit, but after seeing Regnar's gloomy face and scars all over his body, she couldn't help being frightened and even asked for it. I forgot to explain everything I was told.

"The medical kit, right? Is it in your room?" Vera was very smart and understood Irene's intention.

"Yes, please, Sister Vera." Irene nodded and handed the key to Vera.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Vera took the key and left in a hurry.

Erin looked at Lisanna, who was already dying, and then calmly used magic to check her injuries.

"Hey, it looks like it's very heavy." A soldier next to him said to his companion.

"It hurt her chest. I think it's very bad." The companion shook his head with regret. For such a beautiful girl to die like this, a man would sigh twice.

"I don't think so." The first person shook his head: "With Miss Irene here, everything is hard to say. Ms. Nancy claims to have the ability to 'resuscitate as long as she is still breathing when she is brought up.' Miss Irene He is Ms. Nancy's favorite disciple, and his abilities are definitely not bad. More than two months ago, I met the Stoke patrol and was chopped to the point where my intestines almost came out. In the end, I was rescued by Miss Irene. Come back. Miss Irene is a very reliable doctor!"

"That's right." His companion nodded in agreement.

Regnar silently listened to the conversations of passers-by, and looked at Irene's calm and steady appearance when she used magic. He couldn't help but feel proud in his heart: This timid girl with low self-esteem can now become a reliable person trusted and respected by others. People.

"How's it going? Miss Irene?" Alexander asked.

"Your Highness did a good job." Irene wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then said: "I felt a very strong sacred energy residue in her body. Is it you who did it?"

"That's right."

"If these sacred energies hadn't always been protecting the wound, this sister wouldn't have been able to survive until now." Erin said.

"Can she be saved now?" Alexander asked nervously: "That blow should have hurt his heart, she..."

Eileen shook her head: "No, through the examination just now, I found that this sister's heart is a little to the right, so the blow only hurt her lungs, but not her heart. She will be fine. , please rest assured!”

"Really? Great!" Alexander finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing such a confident assurance.

After that, Vera panted and delivered the medical kit within a few minutes, and then Irene quickly stabilized Lisanna's injury using both magical and medical skills.

"Father! You're back!" Lisanna smiled and looked at the tall man at the door. The bag in his hand was bulging and he was still flipping it. Lisanna said in surprise: "It seems that today's harvest is good!"

"Yes." The man smiled and said: "Today's harvest is good. If we can go to the sea to make more money at this rate, I can buy you a few more beautiful clothes this year!"

"Really? Thank you, father!" Lisanna was very happy and threw herself into the man's arms.

"Lisanna, don't be ridiculous, your father is still carrying something." A middle-aged woman with the same hair color as Lisanna said gently.

"Because I'm happy..." Lisanna pouted her little mouth coquettishly, but she still obediently started to help her father deal with today's harvest.

Their family lived in a fishing village near the sea, and their life had always been peaceful. A few years ago, Lisanna was just the daughter of an ordinary fisherman, although she was recognized as the most beautiful little girl in the fishing village. But even so, Lisanna's biggest wish at that time was just to buy two beautiful and soft silk clothes from a clothing store in that small city in the northwest.

The days have been very dull, but they have also been very stable. Until that day... Until that day Stoke's soldiers came to this peaceful little village.

Because their fishing village is located on the edge, it does not belong to the territory of either empire. Although the rumors of the beginning of the war make people fearful, there are still many kind and simple fishermen who believe that these are none of their business. They are just a group of honest people who make a living by fishing. I haven't provoked them, so why would they come here to attack

But these ignorant people obviously misjudged people's greed and cruelty. Stoker took a fancy to the sea and land location here, so he planned to transform this small fishing village into a temporary military port. And this has become the source of misfortune for the entire fishing village.

The person responsible for massacring the villagers was only a cavalry squad of one hundred people from the Stoker Empire. Each of them is only at level four or five, which makes people like Regnar look like novices who can kill with just a few fingers.

But in the eyes of the entire fishing village, they simply cannot resist the incarnation of death.

That day Lisanna's father fulfilled his promise and took her to a small town to buy clothes. But when they returned to the fishing village at dusk, the sight in front of them shocked both Lisanna and her daughter.

Outside the fishing village, corpses were piled up into a hill like garbage. Several soldiers from the Stoke Empire were chatting and spreading fuel on the pile of corpses. One of the soldiers looked into the pile of corpses, then took out a dagger and cut off a village woman's finger. There was a gold ring on her hand. Although the quality was not very good, it looked like it could be sold for a few. money.

When the Stoker soldiers around saw it, they all shouted for him to treat him, and the guy who got the benefit also agreed very generously, and laughed happily with his companions.

Although there were sincere laughter there, Lisanna and her daughter were heartbroken at this moment. Because that village woman, with long cherry-red hair, was Lisanna's mother. And that ring was bought by her father after three years of diligent fishing, and his purpose was to marry his mother, who was famous for her virtuous, gentle and beautiful people in the small village.

And now, the mother's body is piled together with the corpses of other villagers, covered with wet and sticky fuel. If nothing is done, she will be completely reduced to ashes in a few minutes!

Lisanna stood up. Her eyes were now dull and lifeless. Although her face was full of tears, there was no expression on Lisanna's face. In her mind, she was thinking about what the old man taught her two years ago.

It was a rainy early summer. Because it was impossible to go to sea, all the households closed their doors and windows tightly, waiting patiently for the end of the storm.

But at this moment, there was a knock on Lisanna's door.

My mother went to open the door. Standing at the door was an old man in a robe. But just from the clothes on his body, it can be seen that this old man must be a nobleman with a great background.

"It's raining heavily outside, and I have no place to hide. I wonder if I can take shelter here?" the old man said gently. It had been raining for more than two hours, but the clothes on the old man's body were still dry and clean, and no one wanted to hide. I don't know how he got here.

"Of course, please come in." His mother welcomed him in with a smile.

Afterwards, Lisanna's family fully demonstrated the simplicity and enthusiasm of the fishermen to the old man. The mother wiped the old man's muddy boots clean, while the father enthusiastically cooked a pot of fish soup to drive away the chill brought by the rainy day.

The duration of the heavy rain completely exceeded everyone's expectations. It rained for seven days. For the past seven days, the old man has been living in Lisanna's house.

Because they were afraid that the other party had a strong background, Lisanna's family was always cautious and took good care of the old man's life without asking any questions. They didn't even ask him his name and just called him "sir."

And the old man seemed to really have the habit of being in a superior position. He accepted the care of Lisanna's family peacefully. Although he had been gentle and polite in the past few days, he never said any words of thanks.

Even though her parents warned Lisanna not to get too close to the old man, Lisanna, who was lively and active at the time, did not listen. And because of this, she gradually saw another side of the old man.

When carrying his father and mother behind his back, this old guy acted like a gangster. Not only did he speak unobtrusively and vulgarly, but sometimes his actions were off-key.

For example, since meeting Lisanna, this old guy would secretly take Lisanna to practice martial arts in the heavy rain every night. The first time was when Lisanna was pulled out of her sleep. In the following days, Lisanna gradually became more interested in this secret midnight activity. Sometimes she would get out of bed secretly without the old guy calling her, and then run to the old guy.

In this way, Lisanna learned martial arts from this old guy inexplicably for seven days without telling her parents. And every time after practicing, the old guy would put his hand on Lisanna's Tianling Cap, and then Lisanna would feel a warm current flowing from the top of her head to her whole body.

Therefore, in the past few days, Lisanna could not help but not catch a cold or fever due to being exposed to the rain every night. Instead, her body became stronger with the help of the old man.

After it cleared up, the old guy didn't stay much longer. He briefly explained to Lisanna's family and then left.

But on the night before leaving, the old man said this to Lisanna: "Among the people I have met, your talent is one of the best."

"Really?" Lisanna had no idea what it meant to have this old guy say this.

"I have planted a possibility in your body. Just think of it as a reward for Lisanna and your family taking care of me." The old man said with a smile: "But in this case, little Lisanna can be considered half of me." A disciple!"

"How can there be any disciple who doesn't know the master's name?" Lisanna pouted.

"A name is just a title, is it that important?" the old man said in a pretense of mystery. In fact, he just wanted Lisanna to pester him a little longer to satisfy his vanity.

"Tch, you're just pretending! You love to talk but don't talk!" Lisanna didn't buy it at all.

"..." The old man was embarrassed for a long time. Seeing that Lisanna was not very interested in this, he could only lick his face and continue: "Well, I will tell you reluctantly as a teacher, my name is Mallory Tradis. , also known as the Swift Wind Sword Master!"

"Oh..." Lisanna responded calmly. As a teenage fisherman girl, how could she understand the meaning of the word "holy" in this world

"Isn't this reaction too bland?! What about the storyline in the knight novel? What about the shock after hearing about the super strong person? What about the admiration for the master of the world? What about me? If this thing were to be written into a novel, the author would be a complete failure!" Malolite complained in a broken voice.
