Wizard Immortal

Chapter 298 Knight

In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth.

Inside an abandoned wooden hut, there was a very old-looking wooden bed covered with straw, which looked quite rudimentary.

On this simple, dilapidated wooden bed, several figures lay quietly. At this moment, one of the figures moved slightly, his arm trembling slightly.

"Am I... not dead yet?"

Awakening from a deep sleep in a daze, Aso barely opened his eyes and stared blankly at the wooden house in front of him.

A sharp pain surged through his body, as if he had suffered severe injuries in many places. He felt extremely uncomfortable and didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only lie weakly on the straw laid out on the wooden bed.

"Was I rescued?" This thought flashed through his mind as he sensed everything around him.

He was amazed that he could survive jumping off such a high cliff and could only marvel at his good luck.

No matter how lucky he is, it's impossible for him to fall off a cliff and land directly in someone else's house.

His current condition most likely means that he was found by kind people after falling off a cliff and was then carried here.

"Looks like I've run into some good people this time." He couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

This world is a difficult place. Even among relatives and friends, there are times when they kill each other for certain things, let alone complete strangers.

Encountering a monster and being chased off a cliff is certainly unlucky, but being able to survive from the bottom of the cliff and meet kind and helpful people is also a kind of luck.

Using all his strength, he barely managed to lift his body slightly, and Aso could barely see the condition on his body.

The tattered clothes had been changed, and he was now dressed in a clean white cloth robe. His wounds were also properly wrapped and looked well treated.

This situation startled him, and before he could react, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Hearing the sound, he subconsciously looked in the direction from which it came and saw a figure walking towards him.

He was an extremely handsome young man, dressed in a white robe, with long silver hair and silver eyes. He exuded a noble and unique aura that unconsciously attracted people's attention.

At this moment, he walked out of the outer room, holding a glass bottle in his hand. A unique aura of lightness and tranquility emanated from him, causing Aso, who had just woken up, to stare in amazement, marveling at his extraordinary appearance.

"What a beautiful person." Aso stared blankly at the boy walking towards him from afar, only this thought surfacing in his mind, his gaze fixed on the boy in front of him.

"You're awake." A gentle voice sounded in Aso's ear, which sounded very pleasant.

Holding the glass bottle in his hand, and looking at Aso who was staring blankly at him, Adir felt calm and smiled: "How are you feeling?"

"ah··"

Aso then woke up with a start, looked at Adir in front of him, blushed a little, and felt a little ashamed of himself.

However, looking at Adir in front of him, out of politeness, he forced himself to perk up and asked, "Hello, may I ask if you were the one who saved us?"

I guess so.

Adir smiled and said, "When I found you, you were lying on a patch of straw, looking badly injured and unconscious."

"It was already dark, and there were wild beasts everywhere outside, so I brought you back to prevent any accidents."

This is certainly not the truth.

Back then, Adir followed the path and searched the surrounding area for several days without finding a trace of anyone, but he came across this abandoned wooden house.

The wooden house looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Apart from the wooden bed in front of us, there was nothing inside. It had long been emptied and abandoned, leaving only ruins.

Adir found the two men, Aso and his nephew, several hundred meters away from the wooden house.

When they were first discovered, everyone else except these two had been smashed to pieces, leaving only these two barely clinging to life.

Under normal circumstances, with such severe injuries, these two would not have survived at all. However, Adir was no ordinary person. With the help of certain spells and potions, he managed to keep them alive until the very end, and then brought them directly into this wooden house.

However, Adir naturally wouldn't explain these complicated matters in detail to the person in front of him.

Aso didn't suspect anything. Listening to Adir's words, he was just relieved that he was lucky and didn't let his imagination run wild and think about supernatural powers.

He lay quietly on the wooden bed covered with straw, looking at Adir in his white robe and the glass bottle in his hand, and tentatively asked, "Are you a doctor?"

"I suppose so." Adir nodded, having anticipated this, and without the slightest hesitation: "I come from a very far place, and my family has been outstanding physicians for generations. The reason I came here this time is to see this kingdom and see if I can find physicians from other places to learn from."

"Then you've come to the wrong place."

Upon hearing Adir's words, Aso's attitude instantly became more serious, and his gaze toward Adir was filled with awe.

Adir understood the reason for his change in attitude.

He went to such great lengths to rescue these two people not out of pure kindness, but because he wanted to understand the world through them.

In fact, Adir played a part in the fact that these two people had been lying here for several days.

While the two were asleep, Adir repeatedly attacked their mental seas, thereby gaining access to many of their memories and thus acquiring a partial understanding of the world.

This world is a world where extraordinary abilities exist. Those who possess extraordinary abilities are called knights. Moreover, based on the memories of these two people, the so-called knights in this world are likely similar to the knights in the wizarding world, or even possibly belong to the same system.

However, compared to the knights of the Wizarding World, the knights of this world are far more powerful.

In the wizarding world, even someone like Adir, who reaches the pinnacle of knighthood and stands at the limit of the Grand Knight, can never be a match for a formal wizard; he can only dominate in certain remote corners.

However, in this world, powerful knights can be as terrifying as wizards, and there are even rumors of knights smashing mountains and destroying cities and countries with a single blow. Compared to the knights in the wizarding world, the difference is like heaven and earth.

This difference intrigued Adir, which is why he stayed to take care of the two for several days. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have simply rescued them and wouldn't have wasted any more time on this.

"This place is a desert region, full of dangerous monsters and savage tribes. A noble physician like yourself should not come to such a place."

Lying quietly on the wooden bed, Aso struggled to speak, his words tinged with helplessness and a hint of respect for the doctor.

Adir was not surprised by this.

In this world, doctors hold a very high social status.

It seems that because the knights' power is focused on destructive force, the knights in this world are far less balanced than wizards in other aspects.

In the wizarding world, wizards often study both potion-making and alchemy to suit different situations. They not only possess power but also a wealth of knowledge, enabling them to research and solve problems in a targeted manner, regardless of the circumstances.

But the knights of this world are different. In the memories of Aso and the other two, although the knights of this world are powerful and capable of destroying mountains and breaking rivers when they fight, there are no other special legends about them.

In this world, a physician is someone who can heal a knight's injuries. Not only do they need to have extremely high medical skills, but they also need to have a lot of knowledge about knights. Therefore, they have a very high status and are often treated with great respect even by real knights.

After all, physicians who possess advanced medical skills and knightly knowledge are mostly from powerful knightly families, and may even be knights themselves, unlike other ordinary people, so they naturally need to be treated with utmost respect.

It's not hard to understand Aso's change in attitude. In his mind, Aso probably regards Adir as a core member of a distant knight family, which is why he can be so courteous.

"Please drink your medicine, gentlemen."

Before him stood Adir, exuding elegance. He smiled at Aso, then turned to the person beside him: "Shouldn't this gentleman also be awake by now?"

He looked at the middle-aged man next to Aso and kindly reminded him.

For a moment, Aso was stunned, then he turned his neck and barely managed to look to the side.

Beside him lay a tall, middle-aged man with a thick beard, his wounds also wrapped in thick white cloth.

He had kept his eyes closed, as if he hadn't fallen asleep, until Adir spoke up and he stirred slightly, slowly opening his eyes to look at Adir.

Upon seeing Adir's appearance, he was momentarily stunned, clearly taken aback by Adir's beauty. However, he quickly recovered and regained his composure: "I'm sorry, I was a little dazed just now, which is why I didn't greet you, sir."

That's also a lie.

Under the chip's detection, the middle-aged man's physical condition was far superior to that of Aso beside him. If he were in the wizarding world, he would at least be a knight's apprentice, and he woke up much earlier.

However, compared to Aso, this person was clearly more vigilant. Therefore, even though he woke up early, he still closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, quietly observing the surrounding environment.

"It's okay."

Listening to the other person's words, no matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface, Adir smiled, put down the two glass bottles in his hand, and turned to walk out.

"I'm going out to gather some medicinal herbs. You all rest here."

Before leaving the room, he paused and looked at the two people behind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft sound rang out from the spot.

Under the watchful eyes of Aso and the other man, he gently closed the door and then walked out.

"Ah So, are you alright?"

Lying quietly on a pile of straw, watching Adir's figure disappear from the spot, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Aso beside him and asked.

"I'm fine, I just feel a bit unwell and have no energy at all."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Aso gave a wry smile, then asked in return, "Uncle Bora, how are you?"

"I'm alright, I've barely regained some strength."

The middle-aged man named Bora nodded reluctantly: "I must say, this doctor's medical skills are indeed quite good. Falling from such a high cliff, even if one doesn't die, one will be crippled. I didn't expect that in such a short time, he has already regained some strength."

"With such medical skills, it's no wonder that those real knights value these physicians so much."

"Unfortunately, Ala and the others still couldn't escape with us."

Looking at Bora in front of him, Aso sighed with regret, seemingly lost in thought.

"Forget about those people, we're lucky to have escaped with our own lives."

Looking at Aso, Bora's expression was somewhat disdainful: "Do you really think that woman truly likes you? Isn't it just because you're strong and healthy, and you come from a noble family and have undergone knightly training?"

"Those kinds of women, once you become a true knight, you can have as many as you want, there's nothing to regret."

"But..." Hearing this, Aso subconsciously felt a little dissatisfied, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something.

"Alright, stop being naive." Looking at Aso's current state, Pora said impatiently, "That's how the world is. The weak will do anything to cling to the strong. If you have no use to them, who will care about you?"

"Including this doctor in front of us, why do you think he saved us? Was it really out of kindness?"

He gave a cold smile: "The reason he saved us is because we had traces of practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique on our bodies. With his superb medical skills, he could definitely tell, so he stepped in to save us."

"Otherwise, why did everyone else die after jumping off the cliff, while only the two of us were saved? Isn't it because the others were slaves and commoners, not worth their time?"

"This..." Hearing this, Aso opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "Then tell me, what does the other party want from saving us?"

"Since the other party is a physician, he must have been born into a knightly family. Being able to walk in this wilderness, he is likely a powerful knight himself, and he doesn't need our incomplete breathing technique."

"That's not how you say it."

Without hesitation, Pora replied, "How can different breathing techniques be confused? As a physician, the other party must have a thorough understanding of knightly knowledge. Since there is an opportunity to collect the knightly breathing techniques of other families, of course they will not let it go."

"However... this could also be an opportunity for us."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Doctors with such good medical skills usually have good backgrounds, and it's rare to encounter them under normal circumstances."

"Since we've run into each other today, maybe we can get in touch with them and give us a chance."
