It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 239 Sacrifice!For the lord of glory!
An hour after the battle, a second team of pursuers reined in their horses and began examining the messy marks on the ground.

"There was a fight here."

"There is no doubt—" The second cavalryman jumped off his mount, bent his body as hard as he could, and squinted at the clods turned up on the ground.He suddenly drew his sword, stabbed a few times in the soil, and picked up several pieces of soil in succession:
"There's blood. And a lot."

"It is impossible for a person to bleed so much when he is injured."

"The site was buried. The people who cleaned up the site..." He was almost lying on the ground, stretching his thumb and index finger as far as possible, measuring the footprints on the ground:

"There is only one. If our people win, there is no need to bury the blood before leaving, so - it is the intruder who killed our brother!"

"Find him, catch him!"

When he gave an order, the team dispersed and searched for traces.After a while, the cavalry reported one after another:
"I have horseshoe prints here!"

"There is also the backward direction! Judging from the depth of the hoof prints, someone should be riding it!"

"On the left hand side, the dirt slope goes down, and grass blades are trampled down along the way!"

"There is also a fork that turns right ahead!"

"This..." the captain hesitated.He bowed his head and thought for a moment, then took out a copper pipe, polished the flint vigorously, and lit the fuse.The fireworks flew into the air, and the captain turned his head and shouted to his subordinates:

"Continue to search! Be sure to find more traces, and wait for the backup to come so that they can judge the target location!"

In this way, Marcus Breno successfully delayed the pursuit of soldiers.He rode his horse and galloped wildly, crossed mountains and ridges, waded to eliminate the smell, and tossed back and forth for a day, but he was really not overtaken by the pursuers. ——However, he gradually couldn't hold on anymore.

His forehead was hot.

Difficulty breathing.

He finished eating all the dry food he was carrying, and the cavalrymen he killed had some black bread on them, but when he took a bite, his gums and palate were burning with pain.He barely swallowed half of it, and after a while, he vomited it all up.

Is there...is there any place where he can rest for a while...

Marcus leaned over the ridge and looked down.At the foot of the mountain in the evening, there is a wisp of cooking smoke, and there is a small village located here.The mountain stream outside the village flows out of the canyon all the way, and after a slight turn, it merges into an oblong lake.A small island rises in the middle of the lake with dense vegetation. Looking from a distance, it looks like an open eye.

Marcus perked up.That small island—the eye-shaped lake, he had seen it on the map before he set off, and there was a teleportation array of the Holy See on it!As long as he can get here, at least half of his mission has been accomplished!

He observed the way down the mountain for a moment, got off his horse, and turned the horse's head.Patted on the horse's buttocks, the war horse neighed and ran a few steps, then stood still in a daze.Marcus was so cruel that he drew out his dagger and stabbed the horse's butt. The horse was frightened and immediately galloped away along the mountain road.The horse's hoof hits, and after a while, it is too far away to be heard.

Then, the thief turned around, slashed through thorns and thorns along the steep hillside without roads, rushed all the way, and ran straight towards the village.

He was originally a level 8 thief.Although he has been injured repeatedly, and his strength has been weakened and weakened again, he is still stronger than ordinary people.The hillside was overgrown with vegetation, and ordinary mountain people couldn't walk at all, but it didn't hinder him much.In a moment, he was already standing at the foot of the mountain, covered in grass and dust, looking at the village from afar.

It gets dark fastest in the valley.Often there is still afterglow on the mountain ridges, but once you get into the valley, it is so dark that you can hardly see the grass and trees on the roadside.Marcus walked out according to his memory, and within a short while, he saw more than a dozen houses in the small village. The lights were flickering, and there was a faint smell of food wafting in the wind.

Marcus hesitated.He didn't want to kill people for no reason, so he didn't go straight in, but just carefully walked around the fence at the entrance of the village, trying to steal something to eat.After walking dozens of steps, the sparkling light in front of my eyes turned out to be a reservoir dug by the villagers.The sound of the gurgling spring came into his ears, and Marcus suddenly felt thirsty in his throat, so he leaned on the edge of the pool and reached out to hold water to drink.

After only three or four sips, there was another burst of discomfort in the chest and abdomen, overwhelming.Marcus tried his best to turn his head away, but it was too late, and with a wow sound, the churning stuff in his stomach sprayed out from his mouth and nose.There were strands of ripples in the pool water, and I don't know if it was the dry food eaten during the day or what.

Marcus lay on his stomach by the pool, throwing up until he was exhausted and sweating all over his body.His throat was burning and painful, mixed with the sour taste in his mouth, he managed to stand up, moved a few steps to the side, and picked up the clear spring to rinse his mouth.After a few showers, there was a rustle not far away, and a very delicate and soft exclamation sounded:
"ah!!!"

"Who?!"

Marcus rolled sideways reflexively, his right hand reached his waist, and he gripped the dagger tightly.He pressed the ground with his left hand, retracted his body, and rushed out following the sound. The dagger was half out of its sheath.

However, the one who exclaimed ten steps away was a little girl, at most five or six years old.Bare feet, the shag coat is torn, and the edges hang down in a thread.Bright red hair, a pair of crystal clear eyes, looking at him with curiosity and concern, not the slightest bit of disdain.

Marcus softened his hand.This little girl... this red hair, these watery eyes, are exactly like his little Maria.Before little Maria was taken away by the Holy See for training, she looked so innocent and lovely...

He hasn't seen his daughter for seven years...

"you……"

Marcus couldn't help lowering his voice.The little girl has already ran up to him, looking up at him:

"Uncle, are you feeling sick? Do you want to vomit? I happened to pick some fruits. The sour fruits are the most comfortable to eat, and I won't want to vomit soon!"

She raised her hands.A puff of black berries, branches and leaves, was held up to Marcus by her.

... Yes, so is little Maria, she has the best heart ...

Marcus tremblingly took the handful of berries.I picked one and put it in my mouth, I didn't know what it tasted like, so I swallowed it with my saliva.His chest didn't seem so sad, he reached out to wash in the pool water, dried the water, and stroked the top of the little girl's hair:
"Little girl, thank you very much. Uncle still has something to do, so he has to go on his way. Don't tell anyone that you have seen me!"

As he spoke, he dug in his pocket, took out a small handful of coins and stuffed them into the girl's palm.Stretching out his hand, he held her small palm together with the coin, wrapped his five fingers around the girl's delicate fist, felt the temperature of his palm for a moment, and let go:

"I'm leaving!"

He turned around and jumped over the pool, and continued to run.The stream was gurgling, flowing out of the canyon, and Marcus's figure in black went down the water, and after a while, he was no longer seen.

Wangshan ran the dead horse.

Looking down from the mountain ridge, it doesn't seem that far away from the small village, to the canyon, and then to the eye-shaped lake.But Marcus ran as hard as he could, until he was dizzy and his chest was on fire, and the mouth of the canyon stood far ahead.

Just as he was about to take a break, there was a scream behind him, and a bright yellow firework rose in the direction of the village——

Damn!

The chasers are here again!
Marcus touched his chest, took out the last acceleration charm, and broke it off with all his might.A gust of fresh wind lingered around him, and Marcus immediately stepped a lot faster. He rushed out of the canyon in one breath, identified the direction, and rushed towards the lake on the right.

There was silence by the lake.Marcus looked around but couldn't find any boats, not even tree trunks to use as canoes.Marcus gritted his teeth, took off his boots and tied them around his waist, and went into the water again.

There was a splash of water, and seven or eight wild ducks flew up by him, flapping their wings and quacking loudly, and flew into the night sky.

"there!"

"There's movement over there!"

Someone shouted in the distance.Marcus had no strength to hide his whereabouts, so he could only lower his head and paddle vigorously.

The lake is a little colder than the stream at night.Marcus's teeth chattered, and when he stepped onto the bank, he almost fell to the ground with a somersault.He didn't even have time to drain a small fish in his boots, put on his leather boots with all his might, staggered, and ran towards the center of the island.

Run into the woods.

Go over the bushes.

Get into a wooden house that is about to fall down, lift the iron plate under the bed in the wooden house, and get into the tunnel.

Climbing to the end of the tunnel, in the earth cave, under the silent illumination of the eternal flame, there is a rock slab lying quietly.The groove in the center of the rock slab is about a foot square, and a round hole is drilled on each side, and a gem the size of a broad bean is inlaid.Red, yellow, green, blue, distinct colors.

Marcus let out a breath, took out the three glass tubes that had been hidden in his arms, and gently unwrapped the wrapping.Looking carefully under the light, the glass tube is no longer as crystal clear as before, but rather misty, with some things growing in it——

Could it be that this treasure must be placed in ice cubes?If it is taken out, it will easily deteriorate?
Then send it back quickly!If it is later, it will be spoiled and cannot be used, and his points will not be obtained!
Marcus carefully placed the glass tube in the groove.Take a deep breath, and press the gemstones in the order of up, down, left, and right.The four gemstones flickered for a while, the brilliance of the rock plate flowed, and the criss-crossing lines lit up one by one——

"There is authenticity here!"

"Come on!"

There was a loud noise from a distance outside the tunnel.Marcus clenched his dagger tightly and stared at the light shining on the slate without looking back.Move, move, recharge, teleport things away—

Hurry up!

Is this teleportation array not maintained for too long, and the power is not enough! ! !

"found it!"

"There's someone ahead!"

The sound of footsteps came.It's still a little bit, a little bit - work harder!
"Listen, people in front! You are blocked! There is no escape! Put down your weapons and surrender, hand over what you stole, and spare your life!"

Still not enough.The groove on the slab wasn't fully illuminated, it was more than [-]% - and, it hadn't moved -

What is the solution?Is there anything else that can be used, magic, holy power, or something else?
"Those in front, surrender quickly!"

More heavy iron boots came.Marcus turned around quickly, the tunnel was shining brightly, but the chasing soldiers were holding seven or eight spears, densely packed, almost blocking the exit of the tunnel——

The silver light reflected from the blade of the gun, stabbing him so much that he almost closed his eyes for an instant.

There is no hope... No, there is no possibility of escape...

Marcus turned abruptly and knelt down.He raised his head and glanced at the roof of the earthen house, grasped the dagger with both hands, and stabbed it into his heart:
"For the Lord of Radiance!"

Blood spurted.

The blood in my heart was sprinkled on the slate, and the last groove was finally completely filled with light.

"Om-"

When the pursuers arrived and dragged Marcus' body from the stone slab, the three glass test tubes had disappeared without a trace, not even a trace of glass scum.

At this time, Gretel had just lifted the buffer gate and stepped out of the red zone.
