"This is my mistake." Kordak smiled a little apologetically: "I have always only focused on letting us understand your abilities, but I forgot that you know very little about our abilities. Okay, I Let me briefly explain it to you.

I am an eighth-level fighting spirit, good at close combat. I usually use a two-handed sword or shield and a one-handed axe. I am proficient in the use of a large number of weapons, including bows and arrows. However, because I prefer close combat, I do not use it frequently.

Silenos has level nine fighting spirit. His shooting skills are good, at least better than mine, and his close combat ability is also strong. However, his usual weapons are only daggers and one-handed swords. He is the person with the strongest and most balanced abilities in our team.

Vera has level 7 fighting spirit. Her close combat ability is poor, but her shooting skills are the best in our team. Although her fighting spirit level is the lowest, she is actually the greatest threat to the enemy. She is accustomed to using bows, arrows and daggers. "

"So that's it." Regnar nodded.

"You are new to us and it will take some time to get used to it, so it is normal for some inaccuracies to occur. Work hard in the future." Kordak patted Regner on the shoulder encouragingly.

"I will, boss..." Regnar hesitated.

"Um?"

"Thank you this time, you saved me again." Regnar said in a sincere tone.

"What if?" Kordak grinned: "Maybe we will still be able to rely on you in the future!"

Regnar divided a bottle of healing potion into two halves according to the records in Villes's notes, and gave half to Kordak to take orally. Then he took out two styptic grass and a three green leaves from the medical bag and chewed them in his mouth.

"What are you doing?" Kordak was a little confused.

"Oh, mix these two herbs and a semi-healing potion and apply it on the wound. This will have a better healing effect." Regnar spit out the herbs on the bandage and then poured half a bottle of healing potion up and handed it to Ke Erdak said: "I bought this herb on purpose before I set off, just to be afraid of something unexpected, but I didn't expect to actually use it. Hmm... If you are willing to use another bottle of healing potion, the wound will be almost healed in three days. .”

"Hey, the mission is completed anyway, why am I in such a hurry? A bottle of healing potion costs two gold coins!" Kordak shook his head.

Although the healing potion is a healing artifact, it is also ridiculously expensive. Even this elementary healing potion with the lowest purity and smallest capacity is worth enough to cover the living expenses of a poor family for a year, not to mention those advanced healing potions that are said to be able to heal wounds instantly. Healing potion

Just in case, Kordak will make sure there are five bottles of healing potions in the team before each mission, just in case of emergencies. Now that one bottle has been used up, the accountant feels a slight pain in his heart.

"Is this what you learned from that notebook?" When the medicine was applied to the wound, Kordak obviously felt that the pain had weakened a lot.

"Yes, that notebook is really useful." Regnar replied while wrapping the bandage.

Kordak thought for a while and asked: "Have you finished reading it all?"

"No." Regnar shook his head: "I have been reading it these days, but the content of that notebook is too much. I have read most of the elementary content, and only read about one-tenth of it. .”

"That's a good thing. You should pay attention to it. It's good to read it a few times." Kordak reminded.

Regnar nodded: "I know."

After Regnar finished bandaging Kordak, Vera and Silenos still didn't finish processing the red-blooded bear because it was too big. It would take a long time to completely dismember the whole bear. It would take two or three days to complete, so the two of them could only prioritize getting out the most precious bear skins and bear bile, and throw the other parts here first, and then make plans after returning to Yorktown.

Because it was getting very late, Regnar and others set up tents on the spot and spent the night after killing the red-blooded bear. They left Shimmering Lake early the next morning. Because Kordak was seriously injured, although he was not unable to move, it would be difficult to walk in the complex terrain of the forest, so he still needed someone to help him.

Regnar once wanted to be Kordak's crutch with high enthusiasm, but Kordak refused without hesitation, and his hot face was met with a cold butt.

"You are so short that I have to bend down to support you. If you are not comfortable, I am not comfortable either. Let's find someone else." Kordak pretended to explain, glancing towards Vera from time to time. .

"Oh oh oh, yes, yes!" Regnar immediately understood what Kordak meant, and hurriedly said, "I am indeed a bit short. As for Sister Vera, you should do it."

"Why me?" Vera looked confused.

"Besides you, the only one left is Brother Silenus. If he comes to help the boss, who will carry the big bag?" Regnar pointed at Silenus. He had a backpack on the front and back. The one in front was Kordak's, and the one next to him was bulging with bear skin, and it looked very heavy just by looking at it.

"Okay." Vera thought for a moment and then agreed.

"What a boy, we got along so quickly! I'll treat you to two good meals when I go back!" Kordak gave Regnar a thumbs up.

"Hehe." Regnar looked like he was succeeding in his scheming, and gave Kordak a thumbs up to show his loyalty.

But it didn't take long for him to discover that he had actually dug a hole for himself.

Because Vera gave her gift to Kordak in the name of helping Kordak. Although this backpack is not as heavy as Silenos, the clothes, tents and other things contained in it are really not light in total, plus Thunder Regnar's own backpack, so that Regnar's legs began to feel weak after walking for a long time.

Kordak's face was full of happiness. He felt that choosing this task was a wise decision. Not only did he get a lot of gold coins, but he also earned a good reputation in Yorktown, which would further improve his relationship with Vera. His feelings, oh my, this mission would have been perfect if it weren’t for Regnar’s two resentful eyes!

But God is not as good as man, and I don’t know whether it’s because Kordak’s physique is too good, or because Velez’s healing method is too good. Not long after the afternoon, Kordak's wound had recovered a lot. Although it had not healed yet, it was no longer a problem to walk on his own. He originally wanted to put on a show, but unexpectedly Vera noticed it, and he had to give up after receiving a scolding and a slap in the face.

As night fell, everyone set up camp again and prepared to rest.

"You are really good at healing wounds." Kordak was about to cry without tears. Not only did Vera let him go, but Silenos also silently threw the backpack to the original owner. The good time in the morning was like an epiphyllum. Appear and disappear.

"Thanks to the healing potion." Regnar smiled modestly.

"I think you should just change your profession and become a priest. Your treatment effect has almost tripled with this method!" Kordak knew that it usually takes more than half a month to recover from this kind of injury with healing potions, even if you drink healing potions. It also took three days to get myself to walk, but this time it took less than a day.

"Kordak, go find some water, we are out of water." Vera shook the empty kettle and said to Kordak.

"Why did you let me go? Do you have the heart to let the wounded run away?" Kordak looked reluctant.

"I've been carrying your bear-like body for a long time today, and I've been carrying my backpack for such a long time in the afternoon. I even helped you set up your tent in the evening. I'm already tired. I'll take a rest as soon as possible." Weila stretched. Lazy waist, beautiful curves exposed under the tight leather armor.

"Isn't there still Xiao Lei?" Kordak realized that he didn't find Silenos, who was doing hard work today.

"Oh, I spent a lot of time carrying my backpack today. Besides, I don't know the way to anyone. What if I get lost?" "I am a road fool and I am proud of it" was written on Regner's forehead.

Seeing that he was doing his part in this task, Kordak didn't say much anymore, but when he looked at Regner's triumphant expression, he suddenly felt very unhappy.

"Let's go, Xiao Lei, come with me. You won't get lost again if you follow me." Kordakti left Regna alone and walked out. The comparison between the skinny Regna and Kordak's huge body Down like a puppy.

"Why do you have to pull me up? Boss, are your injuries completely healed?" Regna was jumping up and down and struggling.

"You come with me after I'm healed. If my old injury relapses on the way, I'll have to rely on you to carry me back." Kordak completely ignored Regner's actions.

"Sister Vera, please say something." Regna tried to find the last straw.

Vera looked at Regna and smiled slightly: "Learn more from Kordak, and you won't get lost in the future."

Regnar glanced at Vera resentfully, and could only reluctantly leave with Kordak.

At this time, only Vera and Silenus are left in the camp. Although Vera is an outgoing and enthusiastic woman, even the most talkative person may feel speechless when she is with Silenus. It felt like talking, so Vera just did some other things to pass the time.

"Thank you for your hard work these past two days." Vera packed her backpack and sat next to the campfire.

"I hope everyone is fine." Silenos smiled.

The two fell into a long silence again. Vera knew that Silenos was a man who didn't like to talk. At first, she felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable when she was alone with him, but as time went by, Vera got used to it. With this feeling, she poked at the bonfire with some boredom. The burning wood made a "beep-beep-beep" sound, and the sporadic flames flying upward in curves made Vera feel very beautiful.

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside the camp. Vera raised her head and muttered: "Are you back so soon?"
