Just as Roland was squatting on the ground to install the base, three figures suddenly emerged from the void. When they landed, they staggered and fell to the ground together.
Anna was startled, and a cluster of green flames rose up into a wall of fire in the blink of an eye, blocking in front of the two of them.
Roland looked up and found that one of the women was the long-lost Nightingale. She looked very embarrassed, with abnormal bright red on her cheeks, and it was clear that there was a cold wind blowing outside, but her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
"Your Highness, please call Nana, hurry up!"
She raised her head and cried, her anxiety palpable.
Roland had already noticed that the woman tied on her back was pale and her eyes were closed. Half of the arm is empty, and the cloth wrapped around the cut has been stained dark red by the oozing blood.
"Kadan, go to the hospital and bring Nana here!" He tightened his heart and shouted towards the door.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Apart from these two, there was also a little girl who was held under the arm by Nightingale. She looked all right, her eyes looking around curiously.
"Are you not injured?" Roland stepped forward and untied the cloth belt on Nightingale's back, and removed the woman with the broken arm.
"I'm fine, Your Highness, ahem...Sorry, I couldn't bring back the sisters from the Mutual Aid Society," Nightingale gasped, her voice weak and weak. It was obvious that she had gone through a long journey and was almost exhausted.
"Don't say anything, rest well first." Roland picked up the unconscious and seriously injured woman, let Anna support Nightingale, and the five returned to the castle together. Nightingale's room was next to Anna's. He ordered the maid to light up the fire and prepare a large bucket of hot water in the room. After Nana arrived, he briefly explained matters such as cleaning the wound before the treatment, and left the room first.
As long as she didn't die, Nana would be able to restore her wounds to the original state, so it wouldn't be a big problem to save her life. Nightingale even deliberately brought back the woman's severed arm, but the arm had been bleeding for a long time, so he didn't know if it could be reattached. The following cleaning and treatment required taking off clothes. As a new generation who grew up under the red flag, Roland consciously chose to avoid it.
But how did things get like this? He thought to himself, could it be that the camp of the Mutual Aid Society was attacked by evil beasts, so that only three people escaped? If so, it would be a great loss.
He wandered uneasily outside the door. About half an hour later, the door was pushed open, and the first person who came out was the little girl who had returned with Nightingale and seemed to be unharmed. She nodded to Roland, "You really did what Nightingale said."
"..." Roland didn't recover for a moment, "What did she say about me?"
"'A Prince Who Cares About Witches'." The other party gently closed the door, "It's a pity that this news is too horrifying, so most people in the mutual aid association did not believe her." In fact, I don't really believe it, but just like my dad said, the world is so big, there are everyone. My name is Lightning, Your Highness, nice to meet you. "After that, she lowered her head and placed her right hand on her left shoulder—that was probably a way of saluting.
But Roland didn't pay attention to this, he keenly caught the sentence "most people didn't believe her". "Hasn't the mutual aid camp been attacked by evil beasts?"
"Assault? No...Why do you ask that?" She tapped her forehead with her index finger, and then showed a suddenly realized expression, "Ah, I see. The big sister with the broken arm is Wendy, She was injured by Hakara, the mentor of the Mutual Aid Society." Then, Lightning briefly recounted the incident.
After hearing this, Roland fell silent, and it turned out to be like this... He thought that he really underestimated the cruel oppression of witches in this world. Over the years, witches' distrust of the church and upper-class nobles has reached its peak. And Hakala is one of the radicals. According to Lightning's description, the first thing the leader of the mutual aid society wants to do after gaining enough power is to eradicate people like himself.
Fortunately, Nightingale returned safely after all.
Not only that, but also brought back two witches to Border Town. As for the model community project, Roland thought about it and decided to let Karl continue to build it. Even if they are not used now, there will always be more witches in the future.
"Are you also a member of the Mutual Aid Society?"
"It's not anymore," she said, spreading her hands. "Just like Wendy and Nightingale, once they're out, it's impossible to go back. Hakara is afraid to swallow our hearts alive now."
"She survived being pierced by Nightingale?" Roland asked with a frown.
"Probably, there is a witch named Leaf in the camp, which can increase the potency of herbs several times." Lightning thought for a while, "Use more hemostatic grass and blood reducing agent, it shouldn't be a big problem to save Hakara's life, but Compared with your witch, the effect is much worse."
That's really troublesome, he thought, it's a bit ironic to not worry about being targeted by the church, but in the end being targeted by witches. Fortunately, the other party's main purpose was to find the Holy Mountain, so there should be no time to trouble Nightingale right now.
"You said earlier that you didn't fully believe Nightingale's words, so why did you escape from the Mutual Aid Society with her?"
"Because of the black machine that spouts white gas, the black machine that turns into stone-gray powder when it touches water, and the snow awn that can burst out like thunder!" Lightning repeated what he had said to Nightingale, "Be kind The witch's prince may not have it, but she shouldn't lie to me, otherwise it would be impossible to make it so lifelike-this is the intuition of an explorer. By the way, the big guy I saw in the yard just now can spew white gas The black machine? Nightingale seems to say that it is called... a steam engine?"
"Explorer?" Roland automatically ignored the last question.
"That's right, explorer." She said emphatically, "That's why I chose to come here with Nightingale. Explorers are full of curiosity about everything unknown."
"..." Roland secretly sighed, does this count as a secondary illness? To be able to pursue something other than survival in this era must come from a wealthy family. Look at her tomboy-like outfit and short golden hair, "Is your name really not Ezreal?"
"Who is that? My name is Lightning," the little girl said with her head raised.
At this moment, Anna and Nana also opened the door and came out.
"How is it?" Roland asked, "Is the treatment going well?"
Seeing Nana nodding, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, the severed limb needs to be connected within six to eight hours. If this time limit is exceeded, the success rate of the operation will be greatly reduced. And Lightning said that it took them nearly a day to get here from the camp. During this period, the limb ports were gradually shrinking, and it was almost impossible to connect the nerves by conventional surgery. It can only be said that Nana's healing ability is indeed amazing.
The little girl also looked a little tired, as if the treatment had cost her a lot of energy. Roland encouraged her, "Thank you for your hard work. After dinner today, you can sleep with Anna."
Of course, Tiggy Payne must also be taken over, he thought.
