Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 69 Undead Creatures
Xia Nan's confrontation with the thin man was extremely brief.

The opponent retreated almost immediately after one strike, and after realizing that he was no match for his opponent, he made a decision instantly, spitting out misty light to delay time and taking the opportunity to escape.

So when the adventurers who came to support rushed to the door of the room, the man had already escaped to the window.

It was as if it could evade the perception of many adventurers in the hotel and sneak into Jeff's room quietly.

The other party seemed to have some ability to hide, and disappeared after leaving everyone's sight.

hum-

After the battle, the halfling who had just provided encouragement to Xia Nan with the music of the piano also entered the room with the adventurers.

The mini lute behind him was even still vibrating with sound.

Instead of running to the window with everyone else, Alton went straight to the bed.

He took out a small glass bottle filled with gray liquid from his arms.

The amount of potion in the bottle is only one-fifth or even less.

Shaking it, he poured it all into the captain's mouth.

Perhaps it was the outstanding effect of the medicine, or perhaps it was because the thin man was far away, the broken wound on Jeff's left leg lost the support of the invisible force and began to bleed like a spring.

The halfling skillfully took out the medical tool set, disinfected, stopped bleeding, and wrapped bandages.

In just a few minutes, the emergency treatment was completed conveniently.

Jeff's pale and painful expression slowly subsided.

The chest that was rising and falling with breathing also calmed down.

But his eyes remained closed.

"What the hell was that just now?"

The adventurer, whose clothes were disheveled, looked out the window at the night gradually melting away in the morning light and asked with fear.

With that kind of stealth ability, if the target of the attack was himself, he would probably just lie in bed unconscious like Jeff, unable to do anything.

"Tim, it's Tim!"

Suddenly, an adventurer who arrived at the room first and saw the man's entire appearance shouted.

"Tim?" Xia Nan frowned at the strange name that suddenly came out of the other person's mouth.

"Yes!" The adventurer looked thoughtful, as if comparing the two images in his mind, and then nodded with certainty.

"Although I don't know why my skin has become like this, it looks much older."

"But it must be him!"

"I used to play cards with him all night long. I wouldn't make a mistake."

As he spoke, the adventurer seemed to recall more details about Tim.

"Tim was once an adventurer, and his strength is quite good. Although he is not yet at the level of a professional, he is much stronger than the lower class like us."

Halfway through his speech, the other party suddenly glanced at Xia Nan, who had put away his sword and was looking at him seriously, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"He worked as an adventurer for many years and should have saved a lot of money. He retired after getting married."

"But I heard that...life hasn't been going well recently, and my wife and daughter were forced to move out of the city." As if he was afraid that others would wonder why he knew so much, the adventurer added, "I heard it from a few of my friends who often go to Full Bags of Gold."

"And then, is there anything strange about this Tim recently?"

Not caring about the dirty things between the few people, Xia Nan asked.

"Strange...not really." Upon hearing this, the other party just shook his head thoughtfully and replied.

"I haven't seen him in Kalanfor for quite a while. I thought he was back to his old job and out on a mission."

"did not expect……"

Keeping this information in mind, Xia Nan silently recalled the scene of the battle just now.

The pale, lifeless complexion, the gray and unfocused eyes like a dead person, and the wooden sword [Green Pine] that suddenly took effect...

"It seems that this Tim has become some kind of undead creature?"

He thought in his mind.

He remembered the scene he saw when he entered the room just now, and turned around and asked Alton who was beside the bed:
"How's Jeff? Is he okay?" The half-orc's actions just now were quite skillful, and it was obvious that he had experience in handling this situation.

No definite answer was given.

Alton just stroked his smooth chin and stared at the bloody bandage on Jeff's left leg.

He shook his head and said:
"Hard to say."

"It seems that there is something left in the wound."

“Although it’s not corrosive, it’s extremely stubborn, as if it has been integrated into the flesh and blood, preventing the injury from healing.”

As he spoke, he looked up at Xia Nan again, with a slight smile on his face:
"But it's not a big problem. Just find a church."

"Any priest can handle this kind of small thing."

"But if old Jeff is unwilling to spend money on treatment, he will have to run a tailor shop with his daughter for the rest of his life."

After hearing what the other party said, Xia Nan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just be fine.

Although I have only known him for a few days, this honest and simple man has left a good impression on me.

There are a pair of children at home, and it is really not worth it for them to die so quietly.

He turned around and looked at the sky.

I saw the sun rising slowly.

Xia Nan asked the halfling in front of him:
"I remember you mentioned before that there is a church in Caranfor, we..."

Just when he was halfway through his words, he heard hurried footsteps outside the house.

Ingram hurried over with two guards.

This sheriff, who had a strong sense of responsibility, had apparently not slept all night.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome but rain-soaked face looked even more haggard.

"Jeff!?"

Seeing the team captain lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Ingram's pace suddenly became more hurried.

But after coming to the bed, he seemed a little awkward.

I wanted to check the situation, but I was worried that my actions would make the injury worse.

He just looked at Xia Nan and others with pleading eyes.

"What's wrong with him? What happened here?"

I was awakened from my dream and saw that the matter was over.

One adventurer yawned and told the other party the whole process.

"Snapped."

With his warm hands tightly grasping Shanan's arm, Ingram expressed his sincere gratitude:
"Thank you, thank you!"

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my old friend would..."

As he spoke, he waved to the two guards behind him to go downstairs to see if they could find any trace of Tim.

Not used to such contact, Xia Nan unplugged the other's hands without leaving a trace.

"No need to do that, I discovered it by accident."

"How can you say that? I spent the whole night yesterday..."

Before the sheriff could finish his words, the halfling suddenly interrupted him.

He raised his hand and pointed at the golden sun pattern on the inside of his sleeve.

"You should be a follower of Amaunator. Take us to the church."

"Oh, yes, yes!"

The sheriff finally reacted, subconsciously tightened his sleeves, and went out to look for a stretcher.
