Chapter 96 - 82 Accident_2
Tini Bazus was waiting in the yard, wandering idly around the wooden racks. He noticed that in front of each shelf, there was a wooden sign carved with different symbols.
Could this mark the battalion or Centurion group to which these weapons and armor belong? ... thought Tini Bazus, yearning even more to learn to read. Fortunately, his application had been approved, and in a few days, he could participate every evening in the study group organized by Clerk Volenus.
At that moment, he heard arguing from inside the house, followed by a scream.
Something happened?! ... He was startled, hesitated a bit, and then rushed into the main house.
As he stepped into the house, a wave of heat hit his face. In the center of the room was a tightly built half-person-high round furnace made of stone bricks, with a suspended chimney passage above it. The flames roared inside, and neatly arranged short swords were stuck around its edges... Lying on the ground beside the furnace was a robust young man in a leather robe, trembling all over, his face contorted in pain. Beside him knelt an elderly man also in a leather robe, over fifty years old, using both hands to hold down the struggling young man, his expression worried and anxious, yet continuously comforting him, "Son, it’s okay, it’s okay, hang in there a bit longer, just a little longer, it’ll be fine..."
"Teacher, the water is here!" Another brawny man rushed in with a bucket of well water.
The old man immediately lifted the leather robe on the young man, exposing a pair of bare legs.
Only then did Tini Bazus notice a large black wound on the man’s left thigh, with the flesh around it turned out and shriveled like charcoal, shocking to see.
"Quick, pour it on!" the old man urged anxiously.
