The place was also supposed to be a treatment center that was gathering injured people.
Most of the soldiers in the Merclio army are being treated there, but some of them look like soldiers of the Crusaders who have been taken prisoner.
I guess the reports of the Crusaders surrendering had also arrived here. Many of them who worked there were smiling.
Some of the soldiers in the crusade being treated have a sad look on their face.
I guess we don't want to believe we lost.
More than four times the strength of the Merclio army.
It's not surprising that I thought I could definitely win more than that situation.
Still, the Crusaders' loss didn't ramble unbelievably because they still didn't want to bother the person who treated them for their wounds they had injured?
However, most of the treatments given in this facility use medicines.
There are not so many people who can use healing magic originally, they are limited to those who are life-threatening, seriously ill and without a moment's respite, and the kind of potion will be used by those who have suffered severe injuries, even if it is not about healing magic.
Originally the Merclio Army did not have a richer potion class than the Crusaders, so I guess this is natural.
Consequently, treatment with medicines cheaper than potions will dominate.
Ray shows up alone in a place like that and looks around.
I don't see Seto with me all the time.
Taking Seto to the treatment center frightens those who are not used to Seto yet, so Seto has left him as Merclio's escort.
The danger of Merclio and those around him has gone down more than the Crusaders have surrendered, but still, it's not as if the torn Crusaders' soldiers won't be after Merclio's life.
(Besides, Seto isn't compatible with Rodos)
Seto hates Rodos because he still had the worst first impression in the first meeting.
This was a very unusual thing for a usually nostalgic ceto.
There was also a side of us that would not be interesting to each other if we brought Seto in to see how Rhodes was doing.
But Ray told me that he was unconscious and there was no sign that he would wake up.
Look around for Rhodos, but it's a Merclio Army treatment center with 10,000 troops.
The number of soldiers being treated and put to rest there is also quite high in line with the number on the part of the Crusaders.
Having decided it was impossible to find Rhodos on his own, Ray tries to ask the person who took him through the vicinity... to stop the move.
"... hey, why are you here?
To the unexpected opponent, the person opens his mouth without looking particularly surprised at Ray, who asked unexpectedly with a vegan expression.
"What, because we're talking about a small number of healing magic users. Fortunately, there are many magic I can use to recover from the spiritual magic of the water I use. So in exchange for cooperating in the treatment, I was asked to offer some convenience in my treatment as a prisoner."
Who tells you so...... Digma quickly uses the Spirit Magic of Water to fly water to the seriously wounded.
When that water covers the torso of a soldier whose flank is slashed and torn and his gut sticks out, the face of the soldier, who was groaning in pain, turns into a tranquil one.
Its arm, which does not move a single step while talking to Ray and uses healing magic only on those who are precisely seriously injured, showed that the alias Digma of the Water Dragon was not obtained purely by combat ability.
(If that's what you mean, you're totally losing me better)
As for Ray, who understands that he is a fight-specific being, I envy how Digma looks.
(What if I could give you an alias other than combat...)
Behind Ray's brain, he is reminded of many of his acts since he came to Elgin, and eventually draws one conclusion.
(Ray the cook, or something?
The udon spreading in the gilm has already started to fashion in the surrounding cities, and the seafood okonomiyaki made in the port town of Emosion had a pretty good reputation.
Even in the Empire I thought...... and immediately shook my head to the side.
(You're obviously an alias to be insulted.... unless you think of cooking them for a blood festival or something like that)
He was a digma who looked somewhere interesting at how Ray was doing, but decided that time was going to run out as it was, and he opened his mouth.
"So, what the hell are you doing here?
"Hmm?... Oh, speaking of which, I did. Actually, I heard there's Rhodes at this treatment center. I came to see how things were going because we were talking about something unusual."
"Rodos... you were in the fight competition too. Oh, he's definitely here. However, hey...... I still won't be able to help seeing you now. He used a magic item with pretty strong side effects, and he has a physical abnormality."
Digma returning instantly to Ray's words.
Of all the injured people, I guess I understood who I was talking about as soon as they said Rhodos, because that was still all that Rhodos symptoms were characteristic of.
"Specifically?
If you try Ray, Rhodos is the son of Elk, who is also a friend, and an opponent of various causes.
It was never a friendly opponent, but it is also true that if he still dies, he will no longer have a face to match against Elk or his wife, Min.
"I'm unconscious. I did all I could with my spiritual magic once, but I don't know if my consciousness will return. Besides, if you go back, there's a good chance that you'll still have some after-effects."
"... right"
To Digma's words Ray meditates his eyes for a few seconds, and opens his mouth.
"I can use restorative magic. I just want to ask you, is there any chance that Rodos can wake up and do it as an adventurer like he did?
"Right, 10% can operate as before with no side effects completely, 30% with some minor sequelae, and 20% with heavy sequelae"
"... what's the other 40%?
In response to that inquiry, Digma answers by shaking her righteous face sideways.
It was obvious what that meant.
"Right."
Whimper small, exhale.
I want you to regain consciousness if you can. I think so, too, that if there were to be severe sequelae, that would be a shock to Rhodos as well.
"What do we do? You want me to take a look?
Ray shakes his neck to the side to ask Digma again.
"No, if you're unconscious, you can't help but look at me now. When this civil unrest is officially over, I'll show my face then."
"Right, okay.... Is civil unrest still a better loss on the part of the Crusaders?
"Oh."
I decide that I should not yet say that Kabazid took responsibility for the defeat with his own life, and answer briefly.
It's also because Ray hasn't been able to sort out his thoughts about Kabazid yet.
A dozen seconds, we silence each other.
But even if we don't speak to each other, this is the treatment center.
Naturally, the voices of soldiers groaning at the pain were echoing around them.
"Is Lord Vihella safe?
It was Digma who broke that silence.
Ray leans his neck small to that name, which came out unexpectedly, and is immediately convinced.
I wonder who defeated Digma.
Given that, it wasn't such a strange story for that name to come up here.
"I'm fine. I just don't think he's going to be on the table any more."
That's why Ray came back to headquarters to get instructions from Merclio and Theorem on how to sum up the end of this civil unrest.
But I guess I couldn't understand Ray's words if I tried digging him. He opens his mouth dissatisfied with a slight frown.
"Why? Lord Vihera, who did so much work, abandons his merits? Around His Royal Highness Merclio...... no, no"
Digma was also captured as a prisoner by Vihera, and since regaining consciousness he has had the opportunity to have a little but conversation with Merclio.
Sometimes it was Vihera who captured Digma, and there was talk about Vihera.
More than that, I naturally understand how much Merclio cares about his sister, and I find it unlikely that such Merclio would take credit from his dear sister.
That is true, and that is why Digma cannot understand why Vihera gives way to her own achievements lightly, tilting her neck.
I can't really understand what Vihella is thinking just because Digma has always gotten people's attention from that brilliant face.
Most of all, the underlying reason is the thought of Digma, who has been distracted by the strength and beauty of Vihera.
"I know if you're from the Bestian Empire, Vihera is running through the Bestian Empire. And you don't even want to stand out very much. That's why even if you don't make your original position public and just disappear like this..."
"What!?
I intend. I forcefully block Ray's words that I tried to say, and Digma screams.
The voice is full of power as a Rank A adventurer, and the wounded around them accidentally turn themselves away.
But Ray didn't know what Digma was so excited about, he was tilting his neck.
"Lord Vihera disappears! Where are you going?
It was still a powerful digma to ask, but I can't teach it any more than Ray knows where Vihella is going.
Or... there are a few places I think, but that's only Ray's prediction, too, not for sure.
More than that, I definitely felt like if I told you where Vihella was going here, it would be a hassle later.
"You can even ask me that. It just means you're leaving the country, and you're not leaving the Bestian Empire?
"Right.... right.... what!? Getting out of the Bestia Empire!?
Digma asks, distorting a neat face.
Seeing such a digma, was this man such a bothersome opponent? Ray nods as he thinks.
"I ran away, so I assume it's natural around here?
"No, not around the Imperial Capital, but somewhere around the periphery and the countryside of the Bestian Empire..."
"... there's no chance of that..."
I guess I can't. Ray tells as he seeps out of his mouth.
For better or worse, Vihera stands out in the Bestian Empire.
Its appearance and prowess will not mean that it will remain secluded in any countryside.
In addition, Vihera herself can't imitate hiding in the countryside any more than she has a side of combat fanaticism.
"If so, should I also leave the Bestian Empire"
"Are you sure it's that easy to decide?
Just having the alias Water Dragon, Digma is one of the best in the Bestian Empire.
That powerful man says he's leaving the country lightly, so it would be a lot less interesting if we tried it as the Bestian Empire.
You can't force an adventurer to tie him to the country any more than he is just an individual.
I can't... Still, if I tried the Bestian Empire, I would have wanted to stop people like Digma from going to other countries.
There is a question of what to do with an aliased Rank A adventurer, even if it is the most forcible attempt to tie him up.
No matter what you try to do with your far-fetched power, if you can do something with it, you're not having an alias, and you're even in danger of losing that whole power.
In order to ensure that something was done, it was necessary to have someone with higher power, or else... tied to the country with things like money, women, power, etc.
However, if you become a high-ranking adventurer, you can receive a request to earn that much, and women are more relaxed than that, and many people are not particularly interested in power.
And if you try Ray, it's not a bad story that the powerful power of Digma will disappear from the Bestian Empire.
Given the possibility of fighting in the war against the kingdom of Mireana, I would even like to actively recommend Ningro.
Digma, who uses water spiritual magic, specializes in fighting against the majority if he uses water dragons, also because, as you can see from being in a treatment center in this way, he specializes in restorative magic, where there are not so many people who can use it.
"Say what? Adventurers are free. You should follow your own heart and live freely"
"... well, if that's okay with you, I don't mind"
When Ray returns to Digma, he notices a soldier approaching the entrance to the treatment center.
"Captain Ray, His Royal Highness Merclio is ready, and we want you to come as soon as possible."
"Right, okay.... so it's time for me to go. Regards, Rodos."
"Oh."
We exchange words briefly, and Ray leaves the treatment center with the soldiers.
