Chapter 349 Saints?
Alwin came to the residential area of the island and stopped in front of a wooden house with a strong local style, which was completed in advance by the advance staff of the East Lunch Company.
dong! dong! dong!
Lean less.
A young soldier opened the door upon hearing the sound, and when he saw Alwin outside the door, he immediately stood at attention and saluted:
“Your Excellency Captain, you are here.”
“How’s the mate?”
Alwin walked into the room and casually asked about Borg’s current condition.
“After taking your potion, the first mate is recovering well, and the most important thing is that the wound is not infected.
After arriving at Hatrapa Port, the conditions must be Much better than being on the boat, and it’s almost healed now.”
The soldier’s eyes looking towards Alwin were almost overflowing with reverence as if it were a substance.
It has a variety of Legendary qualities, and can lead his subordinates to victory after another, and even completely wipe out the invincible Cyrus naval fleet!
Now they have saved their lives from illness. In the eyes of some soldiers, this is simply the incarnation of “saints”!
He came to the world with a mission to do the major event business.
And the identity of the wizard has been automatically filtered by them.
This view is highly marketable on Cape Storm and is definitely not an exception.
In fact, the soldier’s idea is not exaggerated at all.
In this era, modern medicine has just started, and bloodletting therapy is still popular. For those pirates living in harsh living conditions, the best medicine or the only medicine after an injury is a high level of rum.
No matter how much better the conditions are, it’s just a bottle of inferior “holy water” that I don’t know how much water has been mixed with.
Alwin not only has plenty of high-end holy water for military supplies, but also various “healing medicines” prepared by hand, which are especially effective for trauma and large-area bleeding.
Thanks to Alwin’s proficiency in “potions”, they obtained an excess of medicine protection, which saved the lives of most of the wounded on board.
It is important to know that the number of indirect deaths on the battlefield (lack of timely treatment, infection, excessive bleeding) is higher than the number of direct deaths.
If it weren’t for these potions, the total number of deaths in the end would have added up to more than half!
But Alwin felt that sooner or later he should find a good enough doctor.
With the understanding of the human body by the “living chemical school”, although he can temporarily serve as a doctor, there are too many strange diseases in the tropical environment of “yellow golden sea”.
It’s not as simple as ordinary trauma.
If you are in this environment all the year round, no one can guarantee that they will never get sick, even the transcender.
Knock on the door and enter Borg’s bedroom.
Although it is on the island of the new continent, as the highest-ranking officer among the wounded, the living conditions here in Borg are still very good.
Silk quilts, pajamas, ceramic tableware, high-grade black tea and other high-end daily necessities are all available.
Before he heard the movement, Borg stepped forward to support him.
“Just lie down. My first mate, do you feel better?
When will I be able to re-enlist, the ‘Cape Storm’ can’t do without you. !”
hearing this.
The middle-aged mate in pajamas showed a smile on his face, raised his right arm to show him, and the elbows were completely disappeared below the upper arm.
There was actually a more serious wound under the right rib, which almost touched the internal organs.
It was in the melee on the “Stelenberg”, the first mate, who was also wearing “living animal skins”, was stabbed by the swift sword in the hands of the enemy ship’s captain, the senior Knight Stanley. ‘s injury.
In the medical conditions of this era, it is basically possible to declare death.
But now the wound on the arm has already stopped bleeding and scabbed, leaving only a terrifying scar.
That’s the remnant of the quick healing under the action of the potion, and after a while, the skin here will no longer be different from other places.
“Thank you Captain for the potion! My wound has almost completely healed.
But”
Borg first thanked Alwin for his treatment , then looked him in the eyes, and said the decision that he had been thinking about for a long time in bed these days:
“Please allow me to apply to you for retirement, Your Excellency Captain!”
“Retire?! If you’re worried about your hand, then you don’t have to. I’ll find a way for you.”
Although the first mate is not particularly talented, since Alwin boarded up Since the beginning of the “Conch”, he has been conscientiously assisting him in managing the ship, at least there has been no major flaw in logistics.
In any case, there is still hard work.
At least Alwin never thought of replacing him.
“Your Excellency Captain, you don’t need to persuade me.
I have thought about it so long after the battle ended. Compared with the Old Partners on board who have gone to heaven , which is already a gift from Goddess.
I know that with your strength you can make this mutilated arm not interfere with my work.
But no one in my own power Knowing better than me, in fact, except for logistics, I am not qualified for the position of first mate on a battleship.
The first mate of the ‘Storm Horn’ should be left to the wise later!”
p>
Alwin was about to say something, but he was interrupted by a wave.
“Your Excellency Captain! You see that I have already received so many spoils of war dividends. Do I still expect such an old fogey to have the ambition to charge into the sea?”
Look at this “old” officer with a hair grey-white face, especially his firm and relieved eyes.
Alwin paused.
Knowing that he had made up his mind, he finally stopped trying to dissuade him.
Which is better, a dangerous life at sea or a happy and prosperous old age? You really don’t have the right to make decisions for others.
Especially an ordinary person who is not even a transcender.
“Okay! I respect your decision and choice, Mr. Borg.
I agree in principle to the application for retirement.
Those who fought side by side I will always remember the years in my heart.
After you recover from your injuries, I will arrange for a warship to return to Pharretis to send you back as soon as possible.
You have a good rest Well, it’s the same as before, you can come to me as captain anytime in the future!”
Pop——
A military salute was solemn, Alwin didn’t bother him anymore and turned to leave room.
Behind him, Borg lay on the bed and returned his salute solemnly, watching Alwin’s receding back outside the window, he didn’t put down his only intact left hand for a long time.
It took a long time before a deep sigh:
“Major Boris would be a good first mate!”
According to Alwin’s current abilities , The potion formula of “Rebirth from a Broken Limb” is ready-made in “Rite of Flesh”, even if the raw materials are willing to pay the price, they should be available from the new continent sooner or later.
But Alwin can see what Borg really thinks.
He obviously didn’t want to occupy the position required by Second Layer on this battleship with his old qualifications, especially after Boris, who was far above him in terms of ability, experience, strength, and rank, got on the ship. This tendency has become more and more obvious.
Perhaps even if the “accident” of the broken arm didn’t happen, after a period of running-in, he would take the initiative to abdicate and let Xian go.
However, Alwin also impossible to let Borg leave the stage with his wreckage:
“Well, with a little operation, this time credit should be enough to make Borg return. A civilian major in the Third Fleet.
In any case, even a nominal naval major in this day and age is much stronger, or safer, than a wealthy man with a lot of money !”
Leaving the Borg’s residence, Alwin went to visit other soldiers wounded in the battle.
After taking Alwin’s carefully concocted potion.
After recuperating on the return route and on the island, most of the wounded have recovered and should be able to return to work within three to five days at most.
And these soldiers who have been tempered by blood and fire will be the real backbone of the “Cape of the Storm”!
As for the seriously wounded like Borg with physical disabilities, it is difficult to return to the battle sequence even after recovering from the injury.
Fortunately, some time ago, there was no shortage of spoils of war for “The Horn of the Storm”. Returning to Faretis with this credit and dividend, at least life is still guaranteed, even in the local garrison. It is not impossible to mix a half-official position.
After such a long time, Alwin has already adjusted his mentality. As long as he is still in the sea for one day, or he does not become the most powerhouse for one day, this kind of thing will always be inevitable.
Even the “Stelenberg” today may not be its own tomorrow.
It’s no use complaining about yourself, the only thing you can do is get stronger! Stronger and stronger forces, and then get the qualification to control your own destiny!
So today he has another important job to do.
After the overall inspection of the island, the time has come to evening.
Alwin returns to his nascent port, where a merchant ship belonging to the East Lunch Company is already waiting for him.
In addition to the merchant ship, there is another person here, and that is the current ship’s gunnery commander – Lieutenant Colonel Boris.
At this time.
This tall officer with light golden hair and a messy beard changed his calmness from the past and paced the ship repeatedly. From time to time, he looked up and looked towards the direction of the inland, obviously there was something that made his mind different.
When he saw Alwin appear, his eyes lit up instantly and he took a few steps forward:
“Your Excellency Captain, you are finally here!”
“Lieutenant Colonel Boris, how could I forget what I promised you?
I wasted some time arranging the work on the island in the past few days, now it’s time to go, let’s go see Calvin together. .”
Calvin is Boris’ seriously ill son.
After the war, Boris, who had seen Alwin’s miraculous ability, couldn’t help but rekindle hope for his son’s strange illness. Ordinary doctors and priests of the church can’t solve the problem, maybe using wizard means?
For a father, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is impossible to give up his son. So take the initiative to beg Alwin’s help, and give it a try anyway.
This is right in Alwin’s hands.
Everything happens because of people, and now the outstanding talents are around me.
Especially at such a time of serious loss of personnel, how could Alwin watch Boris retire and waste his talents in vain?
