Did the plan succeed? Did Captain Madden understand what I meant?
He couldn't help but turn his head. The first thing that caught his eye was a bright bonfire, its light dancing in his vision as sparks ascended the black pine, disappearing into the vast night sky.
"You're awake?" The girl finally reacted and hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, don't move, this is Buqi, do you remember?"
"Buqi… Buqi." Sophie repeated the name of the place.
"Can you tell me what happened?" He let out a breath. By all accounts, he should be as good as dead, whether in the game or based on his real-life experience.
The only possibility was that Miss Roman really found a Life Potion.
"Little Phenix and Markmi found you in the nearby forest." Freyia looked at him curiously. Although this young man named Brand had been in their village for nearly a year, in reality, he hadn't interacted much with other young people in the village.
He always stayed alone in his eerie house, only occasionally accompanying Roman to a nearby town.
In the nearby area, even a fool would know that this young man was interested in that girl dreaming of becoming a merchant, of course, except for the girl herself.
Frey couldn't help but glance at him again, always with a hint of suspicion.
"You all?" Sophie asked back.
"You and Roman, I really wonder how you escaped." The girl couldn't help but sigh.
"How is she?"
"She's fine, don't worry, a thousand times better than you. You should be more concerned about your own situation," Freyia touched her forehead lightly and then asked softly, "But she keeps clamoring to go to the village, do you know what that's about?"
Sophie was stunned.
That means he hadn't used the Life Potion yet, so what about his injuries? Almost instinctively, he opened his attributes interface, ghostly green data flowing across his retina, and in the character status section, he was dumbfounded to see this line:
Life (Dying, Weak): 10% (Bandaged state, recovers 1 point of life per day)
Impossible! Sophie's first reaction was that he was dreaming. No one knew his status better than he did—mortal wounds all over, with massive blood loss. From any perspective, he should be beyond dead.
How could there still be 10% life?
Sophie shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, but saw the girl on the side looking extremely nervous: "Don't move, you're severely injured…"
"Don't worry," he instinctively waved his hand.
Sophie knew his own condition best, though puzzled, his current status wasn't hemorrhage or any other abnormalities. Although still in a weak, dying state—he understood that it would take time and could only be nurtured slowly.
Because his injuries were in a stable state, at least there was no immediate danger to life.
And that's what puzzled him the most, how did these injuries automatically stabilize? The Unyielding Talent definitely did not have this ability!
"You—!" Freyia couldn't help but widen her eyes, she had never seen someone so reckless.
At first, everyone thought this guy was dead for sure. Unexpectedly, he actually managed to wake up. Just that alone should've warranted thanks to Lord Martha, right?
The problem was this obnoxious guy was still acting as if he didn't care. One should cherish their own life!
"Lie back down!" The girl couldn't help but take a deep breath and order through gritted teeth.
Sophie was taken aback and couldn't help but glance at her. What was this woman's problem?
"You've also been trained by the militia, right? I'm Freyia, captain of the Third Squad of the Buqi Militia, and now I'm asking you to temporarily follow my orders," Freyia blushed, realizing her own loss of composure, "Got it?"
"You're Freyia?" Sophie was shocked and instinctively blurted out, "Freyia Alicia, born in the Year of the Flower, father is Great Knight Everton?"
"Huh, what?" The girl was taken aback by the barrage of questions, "No, no, my father is just the town's carpenter…"
Suddenly, the surrounding burst into laughter.
"Freyia, this guy has some impressive flirting skills."
"Be careful, Big Sister."
"Shut up, Markmi, Ike!" Freyia angrily turned around and glared at the young men nearby.
