Chapter 242 - 9.15
King Elduin felt the carriage cushion was more comfortable than it used to be. He snuggled, and after a while, he woke up after a whole day. The carriage was moving above the ground with Priest Erolith’s magic. The first thing that Elduin saw when he woke up was his Big Ero’s chin. He was dazed, probably because he constantly nursed Elduin with continuous healing magic until he recovered.
He blinked a few times and blushed, "B—Big Ero!"
King Elduin woke up immediately because he was currently resting on his Big Ero’s lap. Priest Erolith smiled at Elduin and patted his head, "It seems that you’ve finally recovered."
"What happened?" Elduin asked. He remembered that a vengeful wolf spirit attacked them, and he got severely wounded on the back. He thought he was dead at that moment because they were far away from the Sacred Tree, and they couldn’t just return to the tree at this point.
Priest Erolith smiled. He looked exhausted and said, "I used my magic to save you. I’m glad that you’ve finally recovered now.
King Elduin felt guilty because of his carelessness. His Big Ero had to save him. It must’ve taken a toll on his strength. King Elduin gently covered his Big Ero’s shoulder and gently pulled Erolith to his embrace.
"B—Big Ero, I am all better now, thanks to you. You should rest. I will take care of you," Elduin said. Erolith chuckled. He rested his head on Elduin’s lap and said, "Well, I think I do need some rest. Don’t worry, I’ve maintained this wind magic for our carriage."
[Pupa: Ding! Elduin’s Fatemeter increases to 60%.]
King Elduin was happy when his Big Ero seemed to be comfortable resting on his lap. He still didn’t understand what happened though, he knew that Big Ero had amazing spells and a massive magic reservoir, but that wound came from a corrupted wolf. It would be hard to cleanse it if they were not inside the Sacred Tree.
