Chương 114: Electric Shock Wake-up Service

"Is it really a person?"

"Obviously."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a dirty person."

Frillie muttered under her breath.

Philon immediately gave her a stern look.

The elven girl silently averted her gaze and shrank back.

Shain estimated that Zainka was lodged in the very center of the tree canopy, sprawling out in all directions, and it would be very difficult to remove it using [Floating Magic].

Then there's only one option—

"Go, Shutark."

Shutark looked helpless.

"Don't treat others like beasts of burden!"

of course.

The boy was just grumbling; in the end, he sighed, took a running start, and leaped up.

After pulling Zain from among the tree branches, Shutark hoisted him onto his shoulder, gripped the tree trunk, and prepared to jump down.

Just then.

Click—

"ah."

Shutark looked down at his hands, which were bracing against the tree trunk.

A small, bluish snake left two clear bloody holes on its wrist before darting into the leaves and disappearing.

Shutark looked at the three people under the tree, blinked, and said, "I was bitten by a snake."

The voice just fell.

He then took Zain with him and fell down very smoothly.

!!!

The three people under the tree were stunned.

Fortunately, Frilian and Philon reacted quickly, and the two mages instantly used their [Levitation Magic] to provide some cushioning before the two landed.

Shaen stared in horror at Shutark, who had suddenly turned bluish-black.

What kind of snake is that? It's so venomous!

"Lady Frilian, can you cure this?"

"Analyzing the type of toxin is a monk's magic, I'm not good at that. I've never seen this kind of poisoning reaction before, it's quite serious. The antidote I have probably won't work, it's better to find a professional monk to take a look."

Professional monks, huh?

Shaun glanced at Zain, who was still unconscious on the ground, and quietly drew his longsword—waking him up with an electric shock was truly a last resort— Nourishing.

Zan slowly awoke.

He sat up groggily, holding his head, and tried to calm himself down.

Then he saw Shutark lying next to him, now a bluish-black zombie.

"Isn't this the boy who just saved me? Uh—he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Luckily, it's only late-stage poisoning, and he hasn't died yet."

As he spoke, Zain placed his hand on Shutark's shoulder.

A green light enveloped the boy, and in a short while, Shutark's complexion returned to normal.

Frillie was somewhat surprised.

"The poisoning symptoms have disappeared. You are a very excellent monk."

Upon hearing Frilian's praise, Zain looked up, paused slightly, and then stared at Frilian's face for a moment, pondering, "You are that legendary mage, Frilian, and you really do look exactly like the statue."

He then extended his hand to Frilian and greeted her in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Zain, and I am a monk from a nearby village."

Frilian glanced at Zain's hand.

Having just been pulled from the swamp, Zain was covered in mud, which had now slightly dried and hardened. Two small pieces of mud fell off his hand as he raised it.

Frillie took a very obvious step back.

"Lady Frillien—" Philon said somewhat awkwardly, whispering a reminder from the side.

Zain himself, however, withdrew his hand indifferently.

"Your fellow adventurer has been successfully cured of the poison, but it will probably take some time for him to wake up. My village is just ahead, and I can offer you a place to rest as a way of repaying you for rescuing me."

As he said this, Zain bowed slightly, specifically to express his gratitude to Shane.

Xia En nodded.

After traveling for so long, they needed to rest.

Led by Zain, the group arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain.

Upon entering the village, the floating Shutark attracted the attention of many children.

Unfortunately, Shutark's battle axe was too heavy; Shane could only carry one of them at a time.

At the entrance of the village.

In front of the Goddess Monastery.

Zain took the initiative to introduce his priest brother to everyone.

After a brief greeting to everyone, the priest looked at Zainna, who was covered in mud, with a worried expression, "How did you get like this—" Zain casually shook off the dried mud from his body.

"I just accidentally stepped into a swamp."

"A swamp? Has a swamp appeared over in the forest?"

"Speaking of which, I'm also very surprised; I've never seen this before—" The priest frowned deeply.

"Then we should tell everyone this information as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and then go find the village chief."

With that, Zain smiled, waved to everyone, and turned to go inside.

The priest watched his retreating figure and sighed.

"Thank you for saving my brother."

"As for your companion, he received timely treatment and is fine now. He should wake up around dinner time."

The group was completely relieved.

Just as they were about to leave, the priest called out to them.

"Wait a moment."

"Does your party need a [monk]? Could you recruit my brother as a teammate?"

The priest spoke.

Shane and Frilian exchanged a glance; they did indeed need it.

Especially Shane, who was well aware of Zain's talent.

His experience in handling emergencies is evident from his recent rescue of Shutark.

He is clearly a worthy candidate to invite.

"My younger brother has dreamed of becoming an adventurer since he was a child. He has said more than once that he wants to become a legendary monk known to all, like Archbishop Haita."

"But when his childhood friend invited him to go on an adventure, he refused so he could stay with me. Back then, he laughed and said that as long as he was with his brother, adventure didn't matter at all—but over the past ten years, he has become increasingly unhappy—"

"Although he never says it, I know he regrets this boring life."

"He is a more talented person than me and shouldn't spend his life trapped in this rural church. I hope you can give him a chance to rekindle his dreams."

The priest's words were very sincere, full of concern for his younger brother.

But Frillie hesitated after hearing this.

During dinner, Xia En asked her what was wrong.

"The priest wears a golden holy seal around his neck, bestowed by the Holy City of Shutral, proving his status as the best priest in the region. But he says that Zain has more monastic talent than him, which suggests that Zain may be exceptionally gifted. Of course, we have all witnessed it."

"So inviting him to be the monk in the team should be enough. But—" Frilian sighed, "I don't think Zain will agree to our invitation."

Xia En remained silent.

That would be a shame.

As they ate, the two silently pondered the priest's descriptions of Zain.

When Shane picked up the salt for the third time and sprinkled it on Frillie's steak.

Phyllen finally couldn't hold back any longer.

The girl pressed down on the small bottle containing salt.
