C270 A Call for Help from Kaedo
chapter 270: Help from Kai Erduo.
A few days later, Zhang Xing leisurely returned to the Capital. Before he reached the city gate, he heard someone calling his name from afar.
"Zhang Xing! Zhang Xing!"
He turned around and looked. Who is this?
He saw a short and thin beggar standing up from under a big tree beside the road, waving at him with all his might.
His face was dark, his clothes were tattered, and he was barefooted.
The voice sounded familiar.
He walked to the front and heard the other person call his name before he could even open his mouth.
"You are Kai Erduo?"
Zhang Xing finally recognized who it was from his blurry appearance and voice.
"How did you become like this? What? Are you pretending to be a beggar?"
Listening to Zhang Xing's teasing, Kai Erduo felt wronged and started crying.
" Zhang Xing, I came from Saint Laurent Academy to ask for your help! "
"Do you know how hard it was for me to get here... Wah..."
"Help? What happened?"
Zhang Xing asked curiously. He reached out to help Kai Erduo up. After saying a few words, he started to cry.
Back in the Holy Roland Academy of Magic and Martial Arts, only Kai Erduo could be considered Friends. When he was in trouble, he had to help.
"Alright, stop crying. Let's talk about the matter first!"
"Zhang Xing, do you have any food? I haven't eaten for three days and three nights!"
Kai Erduo said pitifully.
"Yes, I do, but it's all cold frozen meat. I'll take you to the Restaurant to eat!"
"I'll give you a bath behind the tree and change your clothes. Otherwise, you won't even be able to enter the city gate."
Zhang Xing dragged Kai Erduo to the back of the tree. He waved his hand and started a drizzle. After that, he changed into a long black robe and a pair of soft shoes.
The two of them found a Restaurant near the Capital, went up to the second floor, and sat down in a corner.
Not long after, seven or eight meat dishes were served. Kai Erduo didn't say anything, and began to eat fiercely.
He watched as he wolfed down his food. Zhang Xing also felt a little heartache. This brother was already so thin that he was like a bag of bones. How did he end up like this?
An hour later, Kai Erduo burped and leaned comfortably on his chair, drinking his drink.
"Zhang Xing, quickly go back to the academy and take a look at Instructor Solina and Saiya. They are about to die!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Xing was confused. His words were so senseless that no one could understand them.
"The night we went back from the marshland, Instructor Solina and the Saiya started to fall unconscious."1
"You know that President Jager is Instructor Solina's father. He was busy the whole night and did not find any reason. The others are even less capable."
"The father of the Saiya is the St. Roland's Castle's Mayor. He has invited a few physician in the city, but he still can't figure out the reason."
"The next day, all the teachers and students in the school knew about it, but they couldn't do anything about it, so I came over overnight to look for you."
"But who would have thought that I would accidentally be stolen by a thief on the way? I have no money, so I ate tree bark along the way and picked up leftovers for more than ten days."
"In the end, I couldn't just hide in a Caravan carriage. That's why I came here."
"Poisoned?"
This was the first thing Zhang Xing thought of. There was a lot of miasma in the marsh. Even with the Detoxification Pill, it was not 100% safe.
He did not know how to save people, nor did he know how to use poison to harm people. It was useless to think about it here.
"Didn't you go to the Association of Pharmacists to invite people?" Zhang Xing asked.
"Someone went. It was a First Level alchemist in the city who suggested it."
"But I heard from President Jager that I'm afraid it's useless for a Third Level alchemist to come. It seems like President knows something, but I'm not sure."
Kai Erduo shook his head and sighed.
After a moment of silence, he continued. "I think you are so powerful. There must be a way."
"Instructor Solina has been taking care of me like a real sister for so many years. I cannot bear to lose her. I am so sad!"
