Chapter 838 Special Day
When the sky had just turned white, Broken Sword was fully awake.
She rolled over and got out of bed, walked to the window, and pushed open the window leaf—the slightly chilly morning breeze immediately poured into the room, which not only had the coolness of the snowmelt time, but also had the fresh fragrance of spring recovery. The blue sky has not yet been fully illuminated, but judging from the sparse clouds, today will be a good day again.
Putting on clothes and going to the living room, a plate of roasted nuts and a can of vegetable soup have been set up on the dining table, which is just enough for four people—Among them, Anne is always the first to get up, not only the first to finish washing, and occasionally Breakfast will also be prepared by the way.
Although after officially joining the Witch Union, they moved from the Diplomatic Building to the Witch Building, and they could go to the castle for three meals at any time, but Anne often chose to do it herself. In the first month of receiving her salary, she went to the convenience market to buy cooking materials such as firewood, butter, and salt powder, and went to the wild to collect some wild fruits and vegetables every week, making it every three to five times.
Broken Sword also asked her curiously why she did this, but Annie's answer was very simple. She said that survival in the wild is a skill, and if it is not used for a long time, it will be forgotten after a long time. If the time comes when you need to flee again, how can you ensure that you survive safely?
Broken Sword couldn't understand the idea that the other party was always ready to wander, but having said that, it was quite good to taste these wild vegetables and fruits once in a while.
"Good morning," she said as she sat down at the table and grabbed her share of nuts, "Are you going to the factory today?"
"Well," Annie nodded, and drank the last sip of hot soup in the bowl, "some big objects can't be pressed out by the workers, and the machine can't fit such a large object at all, so they can only be spliced together by small pieces of iron. I heard that Miss Anna used to do it, but now I leave it all to me."
From her voice, Broken Sword could hear a vague sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. This is probably the most significant change after the four of them came to Neverwinter—their abilities are no longer meaningless things. Work, get paid, like a craft. This experience of relying on oneself instead of being deceived or relying on others' charity gave Broken Sword a sense of renewal. She believed that Annie also felt the same way, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten up early every day without the pressure of survival, and was the first to go to the factory.
But today is a special day.
"Don't forget the hero she is today..."
"I know," Annie said with a more serious expression, "Don't worry, I'll finish the work over there early and come here on time."
Duan Jian heaved a sigh of relief, "Well, with you here, she can feel more at ease."
"Then I'll go first." She got up and said.
"Go, I will take care of the hero."
"The hot water is in the kitchen, and I'll leave the rest to you." Annie didn't say any more, and quickly left the residence.
After Broken Sword ate his share, he went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of hot water, and walked into the hero's bedroom lightly. Because of the loss of both feet and the inconvenience of living, she usually slept with Annie even though the room was sufficient. . During the day, the three of them took turns to take care of her, and Miss Iffy and Lady Wendy would often come over to help.
To her surprise, the hero had already woken up at this moment, and was sitting on the head of the bed, looking out the brighter window. The soft sunlight reflected on her lavender hair and fair face, making her look peaceful and pleasant. Just looking at this scene, it was hard to imagine how cruelly she had been treated.
But Broken Sword quickly realized that the opponent's mood was probably not as calm as it appeared on the surface, so he got up much earlier than before.
"Good morning," she began.
"Ah...good morning," the hero trembled slightly, as if he had recovered from a daze, and said embarrassedly, "I'm going to trouble you again."
"What's the trouble?" Broken Sword stuck out his tongue, "No one would think so. And maybe after today, you will be able to do this by yourself."
In an instant, extremely complex expressions flashed in the hero's eyes, including nervousness, anticipation, fear, and excitement... After a while, she managed to control this emotion and forced a smile, "I don't know if I can OK——I have completely forgotten the feeling of walking, even in a dream, I..." She bit her lips, "I can only crawl forward."
"Then learn it all over again, it's not a big deal," Broken Sword pressed her shoulder and said, "Even God's Punishment Witch can do it, so you can too. Come on, stretch out your feet."
The hero took a deep breath and lifted the quilt, only to see two legs that were as thin as firewood sticks exposed——Different from a few months ago, the severed limb from the knee has grown a lot, almost elongated Up to the ankle, the hideous and ugly scars have also turned into smooth skin. Although it looks wrinkled and seems to be broken when folded, it does not look like a normal person's leg, but it is much more complete than before.
And for the extra half, the Witch Union contributed a lot.
In the beginning, Ms. Nana could only recover from minor injuries such as severed fingers, and the regeneration of whole limbs could not be achieved anyway. Until the four of them joined the Witch Union, Broken Sword cooperated with every witch to test and strengthen according to His Majesty Roland's instructions. A gratifying breakthrough came when she was holding a broken sword, Miss Nanahua's healing effect was fully improved, and a hound with a broken leg regrown its claws.
This new discovery sheds light on the hero's recovery.
But subsequent experiments revealed that it was not so easy.
First of all, the healing technique only takes effect on the wound, and the hero's broken leg has already healed, so if he wants to recover, he must artificially create a wound. Secondly, even with the magic power of the broken sword, the treatment can only last for tens of breaths, which means that the recovery process is divided into several stages. The combination of the two points is a daunting challenge for both the healer and the healed.
On the one hand, he had to endure the pain of broken legs repeatedly, and on the other hand, he had to cut the healed section many times, and the treatment plan fell into a dilemma from the very beginning.
Fortunately, Lady Wendy noticed this problem, and then the entire Witch Union took action.
Broken Sword discovered for the first time that they called each other sisters not just in formality, but they regarded each other as vital relatives in their hearts. Even though the four of them came from Wolf Heart and just joined Neverwinter, they didn't hold back their concern.
Miss Leaf used a special plant called sleeping fern to cultivate a herbal medicine that can make people lose consciousness. After taking it, they would fall asleep within a few hours, saving the hero from suffering.
Miss Anna is in charge of the cutting. Under the sharp black fire, the smooth new wound can be completed in an instant. Miss Nana only needs to focus on displaying her abilities.
The last one was Master Spell Passy. As the lord of the city, she did not return to Falling Dragon Ridge immediately after the meeting was over because of the broken sword. The previous several treatments can be described as cautious - because Miss Nana's magic power will be exhausted each time because only half of the length of a finger can be restored, once the power disappears, the severed limb that has not yet healed will become a fatal wound. So the results are extremely slow. It was with the help of the Marquis of Speer that the last few treatments had made great progress.
If nothing else, after today, the hero will be able to regain complete feet.
