Verduny stay in his tents and continue his works. If it's not because the conditions that summoner and their summoning must stay together in one place, he won't come in the forest and continue his work in the study room like usual.
*CLASH*
*BANG*
"AAAAHHHHHH!"
"HEEEELLLLPPPP!"
*POW*
*CRUSH*
*irritated* "They're too loud!" *annoyed*
A few times later
*swoosh*
A shadow are outside Verduny's tent
"My Lord..."
*writing* "What?" *writing*
"The one you're looking for, he was in this hunted forest right now"
*stop writing* "What is he doing here?" *curious*
"Currently he's staying here to work as adventures. I have found a bit of his family. He was originally a commoner and get adopted to one of nobles in Ferosperous Kingdom. He was treated unfairly in his family. As an adoptive child, he won't inherit anything from his adoptive father. Therefore he want to be a knight but unfortunately he couldn't become one because of his lack in proper educations."
*smirk* "So, he want to become a knight?" *smile creepily*
"Yes, he want to become a knight when he was a child. But he failed and became an adventures instead"
*suspicious* "That's still not explaining why he work as adventures in here. He can become an adventures in his hometown. Why come here?"
"Apparently, he fell in love with a female magicians and followed her to come here"
*smirk* "So, he came here because of love? More importantly he want to be a knight." *ponder*
If my guess right, in my previous life, he was called by his adoptive father to join the wars. But this time before he get called by his father, I'll make him vows to me first. It's their own fault to fail him.
*smile sinister* "Albern..." *dark aura*
"Yes, my Lord?"
*smile sinister* "If he's around here, coincidentally direct him in a locations where he can hear the screams of those fools. Remember! It must be a coincidence!" *chuckles*
*smirk* "Yes, my Lord"
"Do that tomorrow, you can go now. Someone'll come here"
The shadows bowing then vanish. Then number 4 come in.
"Your Excellency, I'm here to report" *outside Verduny's tent*
*writing* "Come in" *writing*
Number 4 come in Verduny's tent
*writing* "It's not dusk yet, why are you here?" *writing*
"Your Excellency, all the soldiers are heavily injured and still under treatment"
*irritated* "How about the members of The Seven Magnus and Personal Guard?" *annoyed*
"Your Excellency, in the beginning they can beat the slimes several times but when they're tired they get attack continuously from the slimes and need to be evacuated too. Therefore there are nothing in the records"
*stop writing* "WEAK! How are their conditions now?" *annoyed*
"They're still unconscious right now"
*annoyed* "I'll look for them" *leaving*
"Yes, Your Excellency"
In the healers tent
Verduny arrived in the healers tent
"Welcome, my Lord" *bows*
One of the two personal guards that guarded the tent are greets Verduny, meanwhile the other guards prepare to announce Verduny's arrival. But Verduny raise his hand as signals not to announce his arrival. The guards then bowing to Verduny. Verduny entered the tent.
*looking around in the tent* "..." *annoyed* "Pathetic" *irritated*
Verduny take out something from his storage ring. He held that item then cast a magic spell to make the items floating in the center rooms without none knowing. The only one who know was the Number 4 because he's standing beside Verduny.
*whir whir whir*
After making sure the item is in the center, Verduny close his eyes and cast a spells to activate the items. All people inside the rooms are glowing. The injuries on the soldiers slowly disappeared, the healers who looked exhausted getting betters too. After Verduny finished casting the spells, he collect the item and come back to his tent.
Meanwhile one of The Seven Magnus who unconscious slowly gets his conscious
"Are you awake? How do you feel?" *the healer beside him*
"Are you the one that treat me? Thank you" *smile*
"Hm? No. I just start to treat you, but your body suddenly glowing and your injuries are slowly disappeared. And weirdly my tiredness also disappeared"
The healers are too tired that they didn't release their body are glowing too.
*shocked* "Are the duke come here?" *nervous*
"The Duke? I don't know, there's a lot of patients here. I don't have time to look at my surrounding."
"Are the other patients getting better too?" *confirming*
*confused* "Yeah, how do you know? The other patients body suddenly glowing and their injuries are slowly disappeared too"
*astonished* "Ah, he must used that artifact. It's all because I'm too weak" *dejected*
"Did you say something?"
*smile* "It's nothing. Good job for you!"
*confused* "Yeah? Thank you!"
Verduny's tent
*sit down* "Number 4, let them rest for now and prepare their food. Notify me if the food are ready"
*drip drip drip*
*shocked* "YOUR EXCELLENCY!"
*raise his hand* "Don't make a fuss something trivial like this. I'll be fine after get some rest" *wiping the blood*
"Yes, Your Excellency" *worried*
*look at Number 4* *annoyed* "Don't you dare make that face. Just do your works!" *irritated*
*confused* "Yes, Your Excellency" *leaving*
Damn, if I know this, I'll bring Edward's handkerchief. It's look like 2 teams high healers are not enough. Am I must find a saint? That's too troublesome and I don't have time to that. It seem I need to use the artifact for the time being. But if I use it too often, I'm sure I'll collapse someday.
The artifact are a legendary level healing magic items. It only be used by someone with a high magic capacity. The artifact was a creation made by Verduny, Second Prince and Verduny's teams research. And there's only two of them.
The healing magic from the artifact are comparable with healing magic from a saint. But the artifact will drain up the user magical energy. And Verduny because he overused magic again, he gats a nosebleed like before. Even if Verduny's magic capacity are high, if he use the artifact carelessly it'll be dangerous for him.
A few times later
"Your Excellency, Number 4 are here"
"Come in"
Number 4 are shocked looking Verduny, not only the nosebleed didn't stop it got worse.
"It seem the bleeding are get worsen than the last time, Number 4 call one of the healers here"
"Right away, Your Excellency" *immediately leaving*
Shortly after that Number 4 come back with the best healer in the teams. The healer are shocked and immediately healing Verduny nosebleed. Finally, Verduny nosebleed stopped
*bow* "Your Excellency, you shouldn't using your magic carelessly again. Your nosebleed is a side effect of overusing magic. If you keep using it excessively, the consequences will be worse than nosebleed" *the healer advising Verduny*
Number 4 are shocked. He didn't know that there's a side effect from overused magic. Then he finally understand why Verduny suddenly get a nosebleed.
*stare at the Healer* "I already know. But if you treat me as soon as I get nosebleed nothing will happen. And keep this as secret, don't make a ruckus about this"
*sigh* "Alright then, call me whenever you need me. Greetings, Your Excellency" *the healer leaving*
"Number 4, how's the food?"
*come to his sense* "They're all ready, Your Excellency"
*glance at Number 4* "Remember, don't tell anyone that I have a nosebleed especially Edward. If he know, he'll be annoying." *menacing*
"Yes, Your Excellency"
"Let's head there" *leaving*
The two of them heading toward fireplace area
Fireplace area
"His Excellency Duke Amethyst entering the fireplace area"
Everyone stop their dinner and kneeling
"Greetings, Your Excellency Duke Amethyst"
*glare* *murderous aura* "Looks like I have a weak soldiers that can't even win against a few slimes" *menacing*
The soldiers get a cold sweats
*murderous aura* "This is your first day, I'll forgive you this time. Rest for tonight and prepare yourself for tomorrow! You'll have the same training tomorrow! Don't make the same mistake this time! Do you understand?" *menacing*
"Yes!"
Verduny leave the area with a scary looks. The soldiers get quiet.
Verduny's tent
"Your Excellency, I have brought your dinner"
*look at Number 4* "Your behavior are like Edward"
*ignore* "Sir Edward told me to make sure Your Excellency have his meals properly. I forgot about your lunch because something unexpected happened but I won't make the same mistakes twice. If Your Excellency don't want me to tell Sir Edward about your nosebleed, then please enjoy your meals" *serve the meals*
*irritated* "Are you threatening me right now?" *stare at Number 4*
*answer quickly* "I won't dare" *indifferently*
Verduny stare at Number 4 and Number 4 ignore it. Verduny give up and eat his meals. Number 4 relieved when looking Verduny eat his meals.
After a while
Verduny finished his meals
*wiped his mouth* "Call Lane here"
*tidying the plates* "Yes, Your Excellency" *leaving*
Number 4 leave the tent and Verduny continue his works
A few minute later
"Your Excellency, Sir Lane are here"
"Come in"
*kneeling* "Lane Diopside at you service, my Lord" *firmly*
"Lane, tighten the guard, we'll have uninvited guests tomorrow." *smile creepily* *back to being serious* "And if Edward come here tomorrow, send him to me immediately. I have a new task for him." *glance at Lane*
"Yes, my Lord" *firmly*
"You can go back patrolling now!"
Lane bowing then leaving
"Number 4, you should go out too. My head are a bit dizzy, I'll sleep first. If anything happen tell me tomorrow"
"As your command, Your Excellency"
Number 4 leaving the tent then Verduny sleeping in his tent.
