The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 10

The soldier shouted save (10)
My legs give out in situations I don’t understand.
“Ah, are you okay? Hey! Can someone please… … .”
“no!”
Instinctively, I grabbed the man’s arm. But.
‘What power… … .’
My body followed the direction in which the man moved his arms.
Is it because my body is weak?
The male power felt very strong.
furthermore.
‘It’s cold….’
It could be that my body was relatively hot because I had been walking while sweating, but the man’s arm still felt very cold.
What’s even stranger is…
“… … .”
A man looks at me silently while holding my arm.
It can be annoying to have someone grab your arm without permission.
But the gaze wasn’t at that level.
It was like the gaze of a beast that wanted to kill me.
-Knock. Knock. Knock.
I can hear the sound of a cane hitting the floor.
“Stop.”
Age: around 80. White beard and white hair.
This man, with his back bent and his steps difficult, leaning on a cane.
‘Village chief… … .’
My face stiffened without me knowing.
“Hmm… … ”
The village chief comes up close and examines them.
“you.”
As the village chief opened his mouth, my hand instinctively reached for my chest.
A dagger given to me by Croa.
Hold on tight to that handle.
“Are you okay? Your wounds look bad.”
“……it’s okay.”
I said, without letting go of the dagger handle in my arms.
“There’s no way it’s okay, it’s a serious wound. I’ll help you… … ”
“Okay!”
A sharp voice came out without me knowing.
“I don’t know why you’re so stubborn.”
persistence?
It’s not just stubbornness.
I went back to the past.
I know what it means.
He faced death.
―??? Died from attack. [Confirmed]
-Loaded from auto-save. [Confirm]
―Hint: Be careful with potions. [Check]
Check the text that hasn’t even pressed the confirm button yet.
There is some writing I’ve never seen before.
‘Auto save?’
Now that I think about it, I think I saw it when someone took their own life in the village.
I didn’t know what auto-save meant.
But the last sentence was really easy to understand.
‘Be careful with potions… … .’
I didn’t think my body had gotten worse because I missed the healing period.
The reason my body didn’t move in my last life was because of the potion the village chief gave me.
If it was just my own thoughts, it would be ‘questionable’, but if the writing appeared, it would be ‘conviction’.
First of all, the writing in front of me mentioned ‘potion’.
‘Village chief… … .’
At the center of it all was this fucking old man.
Look closely into the village chief’s eyes.
“I guess it won’t work.”
As the village chief nods, rough footsteps are heard.
The men at the entrance to the village approach me with brisk strides and grab my body from both sides.
“… … What are you doing?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll send you back safely once the healing is complete.”
As the village chief walks ahead after saying those words, the men holding my arms follow him.
‘Ugh! Shit… … .’
It was painful for the skin where the pus was coming out to come into contact with the men’s skin.
‘Is it impossible to get out?’
I didn’t even have the strength to struggle.
She surrenders her body to men without any hesitation.
‘… What should I do?’
I can’t even come up with a proper thought.
I didn’t know what to do.
at that time.
-Cheolkerdung.
His only weapon, a dagger, fell from his chest and rolled on the floor.
“… … Hmm? What is this?”
The village chief bends his bent back even further and takes up the dagger in his hand.
“It’s a dagger used by priests. You… … You’re not a priest, are you?”
The village chief looks into my eyes as if forcing an answer.
“… … I received a gift.”
The village chief narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze away from me.
Then he examined the dagger again.
“Well, if you’re a priest, the divine power in the dagger won’t run out. I’ll give it back to you.”
As the village chief approached me, the men who had been holding my arms stepped back.
The village chief held out the hilt of his dagger to me.
“… … .”
I silently accepted the dagger the village chief handed me.
“I don’t know why you’re so alert, but you should rest here today. Aren’t you quite tired?”
The place the village chief pointed to with his cane.
It was the house where I lay around and did nothing in my last life.
“… … Okay. I’ll take care of you for just one day.”
“I’ll bring you something that might help your body.”
“……thank you.”
I watch the back of the defenseless village chief.
‘Should I stab you?’
He fiddles with the dagger his sister gave him.
But even though the village chief’s body is moving further and further away, my feet are still.
‘No, in this state of body… … .’
The village chief knows that I have a dagger.
It was the village chief who put the dropped dagger in my hand.
“… … .”
Look around.
The people in the village stop walking and look at me.
Not now.
I turn my gaze away from the village chief’s back and open the door to the house.
-Squeak.
A musty smell that stings the nose.
A room filled with one bed.
In my previous life, I was content just to have a bed.
But now, when I look at that bed, I feel like vomiting.
“Uh, uh… …”
Stand in front of the door and look at the bed.
What was the village chief thinking as he watched me die without being able to do anything?
I crouched down and leaned my back against the door.
I feel something between the door and the back.
‘backpack…….’
I slowly took out the contents there.
Maps, water jugs, dried food, and.
‘Potion!’
-Knock. Knock.
I feel a vibration from the door I’m leaning against.
“Hey, are you inside?”
“Okay, just wait a moment.”
I put the contents I had taken out in a hurry into my backpack.
Then he pushes the backpack to the corner.
-Squeak.
“Hmm, were you doing something?”
The village chief rolls his eyes and looks around the room.
“No… …. I tried to force myself up and fell.”
The village chief turns his eyes towards me, who is lying on the floor with his buttocks pressed against the ground.
“Hmm, really? Looking at your physical condition, I don’t think I can heal you today.”
“Are you talking about healing?”
I was making a fool of myself.
“You may look like an old man, but you’re a former magician. You’ve even learned healing magic… … But it’s too much for your body. Take this.”
The village chief extends ‘it’ towards me.
My body started shaking.
But he accepted it with a calm face.
“Is this the ‘Red Potion’?”
The village chief raises his eyebrows.
“Do you know more about the red potion?”
“… … I only saw it briefly when I went to Tallinn.”
“Hmm, is that so? Let me tell you in advance so that there is no misunderstanding. It is a red potion that I made myself. It won’t give you vitality like a normal red potion, but it will relieve pain and make your body comfortable.”
“…thank you.”
I placed the red potion I had received next to me and bowed my head while sitting down.
“It would be better not to go out at night. Then rest.”
The village chief leaves the house.
I put my ear to the door and listened to the village chief’s footsteps fade away.
“Haa… haa… … .”
We only exchanged a few words, but I broke out in a cold sweat.
Examine the ‘Red Potion’ given by the village chief.
It seemed to be a deeper shade of red than the one I had received in my ‘last life’.
I crawl with my knees on the floor and head towards the corner where my backpack is.
Take out the contents again and place them on the floor.
Priest’s ‘True Red Potion’.
Take it out of your bag and place it next to your bed.
I put the rest back in my backpack and hid it under the bed.
“… … .”
Sit on the bed.
Pain surged as my skin touched the bed.
I slowly started to organize the information I knew and the situation.
The priest who healed the villagers headed to the village of Dane.
During that time, he was attacked by thieves and his luggage was stolen, and his whereabouts became unknown after that.
‘Surely, you said the priest came.’
Last life, when I asked the village chief if the priest had not come, he said that he had only taken a few items and returned.
But did the priest really go back?
I visited this place and died without even knowing what was happening.
There was no guarantee that the priest who came here would be safe.
‘Surely not like me… … .’
There was also a possibility that he had consumed some strange potion and was lying somewhere, unable to move.
But I didn’t move rashly.
‘I have to find out… … .’
I had to figure out how I died and by whom.
Even if it means death.
This is how to utilize the magic called ‘Save’.
I opened the lid of the ‘dark red potion’ that the village chief had given me.
And then I threw it away in a corner of the house.
A thick red liquid mixes with dust and seeps into the wooden floor.
Hide the empty glass bottle under the bed.
And then I lay down on the bed.
Now all that was left to do was wait.
* * *
Around 10pm.
-Knock. Knock.
Someone knocks weakly on the door.
“Hey, are you inside?”
In ‘Last Life’, the village chief did not visit at this time.
-Knock. Knock.
“It’s inside.”
As soon as my voice was heard, the door opened and a white-haired old man appeared.
“Hmm, are you feeling okay?”
The village chief was looking around the room while worrying about me.
“…it’s okay.”
Even though I said it was okay, the village chief, who had been watching me closely, frowned.
“You didn’t drink the ‘potion’, did you?”
“… … Yes, actually, I hesitated to drink it because it was an expensive potion. But, do I have to drink the red potion?”
Look into the village chief’s eyes.
The village chief says, “Haha, with a laugh.”
“Since it’s handmade, you don’t have to worry about money. Rather, the medicinal effect itself will disappear after a day, so you can take it with peace of mind.”
The corners of the village chief’s mouth slowly lowered.
The village chief stares at me with a stern face.
‘You look like you’re not leaving until you see the food.’
Lift the ‘Red Potion’ placed next to the bed.
-Gulp. Gulp.
I drank the potion in one gulp as if I was trying to get rid of it.
“Is it okay now?”
“… … Take a rest.”
The village chief, having confirmed that the potion was empty, then opened the door and headed outside.
I hold my breath at the door and check that the footsteps are fading away.
“Hoo… … ”
Calm your pounding heart with deep breathing.
‘Did I lie?’
The potion the village chief gave me was spilled on the floor.
What I ate was the ‘real red potion’ that was in the priest’s luggage.
It’s the same as what I ate when I was a soldier.
The pain is gone and my whole body is filled with energy.
But I couldn’t move my body right now.
Lie back down on the bed.
From now on, it’s real.
Because the situation I had to figure out was what happened after I became ‘immobilized’.
* * *
I was lying on my back in bed, but of course I couldn’t sleep.
There was a sense of anxiety that the village chief might come at any time.
But the biggest reason was that the vitality effect of the red potion had not subsided, so my heart was beating like crazy.
Look out the window.
Complete darkness.
I think it was around 2 or 3 in the morning.
At that time.
-Knock. Knock. Knock.
The sound I was waiting for was heard.
‘Last Life’ I couldn’t move my body even when the sound of pounding on the door seemed to break it down.
But now it’s different.
-Knock. Knock. Knock.
A rough knocking sound.
The memory is vivid.
Because that sound continued for a long time even though I didn’t respond.
I carefully got out of bed.
He carefully opened the door, holding a dagger in his hand.
“……what.”
There was something unexpected at the door.
