Chapter 258: Absolutely a Real Man
"My Lord...are you awake?"
Wendy laughed while crying: "It turns out this really works! I didn't expect it to be successful the first time! Haha..."
The underage girl was genuinely happy.
"What? Wendy...you you you...what did you do to me? What first time!?"
Li Ang looked at Wendy who was crying and laughing, and his mouth began to itch. He quickly covered the two points on his chest and started to pull off his underwear.
But the underwear had been cut by Wendy, and now only a bloody rag was left...
So the lord grabbed the rag with both hands and covered his chest, looking like he had just been raped.
Li Ang had just woken up from a coma and was not very sober yet. He didn't even notice that his wound had disappeared.
"Ha... nothing, you seem to be fine... wait..."
Wendy laughed out loud for a moment, but then her expression changed. She frowned and grabbed the lord's hand, forcibly prying open Leon's hands that were covering his chest.
Then she leaned down and put her face close to Li Ang's chest...
"Hey, hey, hey! Wendy! No, no, no... You're still underage!"
The lord struggled in panic, but he had just woken up from a coma and naturally had no strength. He could not get rid of Wendy, so he could only watch Wendy put her face on his chest.
Wendy still held both arms firmly behind his back - it looked as if Wendy was hugging Leon around the waist, and was twisting Leon's arms to force the hug.
"Don't talk!... This... This isn't right! Why is it so slow?"
Wendy used a little more strength to hold down Leon who was resisting, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Wh...what's so slow? Wendy, what are you talking about..."
The lord did not struggle anymore. It was pointless to struggle anyway. Besides, what man would have the heart to push away the beautiful girl who was clinging to his chest?
And this beautiful girl's eyes were full of tears...
"Why is your heartbeat still so slow? Don't you feel anything?"
Wendy finally loosened her arms and looked up at Li Ang, her face filled with worry and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was still worried. The Lord's condition was too abnormal. His heartbeat frequency was only a dozen beats a minute!
"Huh? Heartbeat? Feeling? This...what should I feel?"
The Lord had no idea what Wendy was talking about. Just now, Wendy rushed over and hugged him, which made him panic and even started to have wild thoughts...
Is Wendy trying to say that I don't care about her?
That my heart rate didn't speed up when she pressed against my chest?
Is that what you mean?
Has this underage girl read some romance novel again?
You are not yet an adult!
Besides... my pants are still on, so of course my heart isn't beating faster!
The lord glanced around, confused by Wendy's condition.
And then he saw the scar on Wendy's wrist.
That was the wound Wendy had cut herself. It was quite deep and was bleeding all the time.
Cut wrists!
Still crying!
Li Ang was shocked at the time. Could this be some bloody case of suicide for love?
But... why? It shouldn't be that serious, right?
"Wendy...what happened? Did you cut it yourself?"
The Lord is really panicking now...
What happened during the time I was unconscious?
Why did Wendy commit suicide by cutting her wrists?
He turned over and sat up, grabbed Wendy's arm, and started bandaging her with the rag in his hand, which was originally underwear.
Wendy looked at Leon's nervous face in a daze. She wanted to pull her arm away to explain, but suddenly she discovered something. She lowered her head in confusion again and put her face against Leon's chest again.
"My lord, your heartbeat has finally gotten faster...but...but..."
The lord bandaged Wendy's wrist, and Wendy raised her head again. She was no longer crying, but her face was still full of worry.
Li Ang's face was filled with confusion...
"Wendy...you...ah..."
The lord really didn't know what to say. He saw Wendy cutting her wrists, so his heart must be beating faster, right?
This is all scary!
This situation was much more terrifying than the previous sneak attack and stab by Agathon!
I feel more distressed...
When the sword hit my chest, it really didn’t hurt as much as it does now…
Wait a minute... Chest...
Li Ang lowered his head in disbelief, touched his chest with both hands, and then touched his left shoulder along his left chest.
"My injuries...are all healed? How long have I been unconscious?!"
The lord exclaimed, he clearly remembered that he was stabbed by Agathon. He didn't know how deep the wound was at that time, but at least he was sure that the injury was quite serious and it would be impossible to heal in a short time.
Moreover, he knew that Anson was assigned to Karen Deer Castle, and the doctor was not in the team, so he could not provide him with a bonus to his healing speed.
Not only that, he also discovered an astonishing situation - there was an arrow wound on his left shoulder. It was a penetrating wound left during the bloody battle with the Gatu people in Fletcher Village. Although it healed, there was still a scar.
But now, even the scar on his left shoulder is gone, and his skin all over his body is as smooth as a child's!
No matter how amazing your medical skills are, you can't also provide full body beauty services, right?
There is no such high technology in this era...
"Probably... a little more than half a day. Sir, are you really not feeling anything unusual? Your heartbeat is still very slow, much slower than that of an average person. I'm very worried..."
Wendy wiped the tears from her face. She was really worried. She originally thought that Li Ang was just having a moment of last gasp...
The Lord raised his head and looked at Wendy blankly, then looked down at his bare chest, stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist, then released it...
No problem, I'm pretty energetic now...
Then he took his own pulse and felt it quietly.
The pulse was now steady and strong, even stronger than before, but it was definitely abnormal - the rate was very slow.
About once every five seconds...
This kind of frequency should only occur in creatures like giant turtles or blue whales... The former sleep all year round and don't exercise much, and the latter need to maintain lower oxygen consumption when diving in the sea, so their heartbeat frequencies are very low.
But when it occurs in humans, this frequency is no longer considered bradycardia, but a sign of impending death, and one that requires immediate admission to the ICU...
So this is why Wendy was so nervous just now?
But I really didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with my body... I even felt like I was stronger?
Leon knew his own body very well and was sure that he was fine, so he was relieved. But then he became nervous again - even if Wendy thought she was dying, she wouldn't commit suicide, right?
I haven't issued any cruel order that if I die, my guards must die with me...
"Wendy, what happened to your wrist? Tell me first, what happened after I fainted..."
Seeing Wendy's pale face, Li Ang lifted her left hand that had been 'cut on the wrist', gently patted the back of her cold hand, and asked her to sit down and talk.
Wendy's face turned red all of a sudden, and her hand, which was held by Leon, trembled subconsciously, but she did not pull it back.
Instead, he slowly, slowly grasped Leon's paw.
Hold it tightly.
…
After all, this was his own problem, so Li Ang asked very carefully.
Wendy also spoke very carefully.
She talked about the abnormality of Leon's wound, the purple star-like fragments, the unfinished sigils she drew with her own blood, and the last purple light that was warm but tinged with sadness.
The only thing she didn't say was the heartache she felt after Li Ang was injured.
Nor did she mention her ecstasy .
Of course, Li Ang had already felt what she didn't say.
She looked very nervous and tired. Although the blush on her face had not yet faded, she looked a little haggard after crying.
She even forgot to treat the wound on her wrist. The soft couch in the carriage was covered with blood. It turned out that it was all her blood...
Li Ang was indeed distressed.
"Thank you for your hard work... Wendy, you should take a good rest here... You have lost so much blood for me, I will go get you something delicious to replenish your energy."
The lord patted Wendy's hand gently and asked her to lean back on the couch and rest for a while.
Wendy did not reject Leon's kindness. She had never been polite to Leon. In addition, she had been losing blood and had been concentrating on drawing runes for most of the day, which really made her very tired.
Seeing Wendy lying on the makeshift hospital bed, Leon opened the window between the carriage and the front driver's seat and knocked on the wall of the carriage: "Stop!"
"Hoo...Hoo! Sir! Are you awake?"
The driver was Klose. Hearing the lord's order, Klose turned his head to look, but he couldn't see inside the car from the driver's seat, so he started to stop the horse while stepping on the brakes.
This was a four-wheeled carriage that had been improved by the lord in recent months and was intended to be provided specifically to wealthy families. It was much more advanced than the one sold to Kairos - the front wheels could steer and had a power lever, and in addition to the handbrake, there was also a foot brake, and even the wheels used a combination of cast iron hubs and leather.
The interior facilities are also luxurious. The carriage is painted white and has exquisite texture decorations designed by the Noldor. The soft couch that Leon was lying on before was also made of white fur, similar to a plush sofa bed - this configuration makes people feel quite luxurious.
Such a carriage is certainly quite luxurious, but as the Lord is now a marshal, he naturally has to show off his status.
Of course, Leon's main purpose was not to show off. He wanted to take advantage of the massive deployment of the army and caravans to sell this luxurious carriage to the entire continent.
So he brought several carriages with the army, intending to open the eyes of the wealthy people of the Principality of Dexia, and at the same time get corrupted - the soft couches in the carriages were sofa-style, which was naturally much more comfortable than marching on horseback, and he could also consider strategies and tactics while marching.
As for the cast iron wheels and leather tires, this is mainly because there is no rubber, so leather has to be used.
In fact, such a carriage was not expensive for Leon - the Noldor had countless furs with nowhere to use, so many that they were unwilling to go through the trouble of skinning animals, which was naturally a bargain for the lord; and leather was a specialty of the eastern part of the Kingdom of Sarleon, and was not very valuable in Changhe Town.
But it’s different in other places…
Humph, if the Lord doesn't sell this luxury carriage for more than ten times the price, then he'll be bleedin' and clearing out his stock.
This kind of carriage with good maneuverability is indeed much more flexible than the ordinary carriages on the continent of Pendor. The ability of the front wheels to steer means a small turning radius. The presence of cast iron wheels and foot brakes allows the carriage to face emergencies and steep slopes more calmly, so the requirements for the road will be lower and the riding comfort will be higher.
Of course, the most important thing is that privacy is also higher. This kind of car compartment is equivalent to an independent space, and the driver sits outside the car.
The driver must control the steering from the front driving seat. There are two walls between the driving seat and the car compartment. If the person in the car compartment does not open the partition window, the driver can basically hear no sound from the car compartment.
Klose had not heard the voices of Leon and Wendy before. His driving skills were not very proficient and he needed to concentrate.
Of course, this kind of carriage with front-wheel steering was just built by the lord not long ago, and no one is familiar with it. Someone like Klose, who is cautious, serious and not distracted, is already the best coachman at present.
However, Klose, a fighter who never gets distracted, looked a little dazed at this moment. He couldn't help but get distracted ...
The first order the lord gave him after waking up was to stop the car and find a piece of underwear first.
After all, Leon was shirtless now, and his underwear was tied around Wendy's wrist, so of course he had to ask his men to get him a piece of cloth to cover his body.
Klose didn't think much about it at the time. He stopped the car and took out a clean piece of clothing.
But the lord didn't even open the door of the carriage, he just opened it a crack, then reached out and grabbed the underwear.
In fact, this is also a normal operation for normal people - Li Ang can't just appear naked in front of his subordinates and wear underwear in public, right?
That's so embarrassing... After all, I'm a marshal now!
But that is a normal operation under normal circumstances...Now in Klose's eyes, the Lord should be a seriously injured person, and even if he wakes up, he should lie down and rest!
When Klose realized something was wrong, he felt very uneasy and peeked inside through the car door.
Then he covered his eyes and retreated, muttering: "I didn't see anything... I didn't see anything... I'm blind, there's sand in my eyes..."
Wendy was lying on the couch with her eyes closed, her face red, and it seemed that she had just cried, with traces of tears on her face.
A lot of blood spilled on the soft couch, staining the originally snow-white cushion with spots - Klose knew that it was definitely not the lord's blood, because he was the one who carried Leon into the carriage, and at that time Leon's wound had stopped bleeding completely...
Plus, the Lord was shirtless and was hurriedly putting on his underwear...
Klose is an experienced person after all. He understood it immediately and felt that he probably saw something he shouldn't have seen. He felt that he was too reckless...
But, Wendy looked like she had been crying, so did the lord force her?
hiss……
Wendy is the best among the Noldor Rangers and has great skills!
The Lord was seriously injured but he was still able to force Wendy...
Still on the carriage!
This is so amazing!
But seeing that Wendy is sleeping now, and I didn't hear any loud noise when I was driving just now, it seems that even though she was raped, it seems that it was consensual between the two of them overall?
Klose felt that the Lord was indeed amazing...
Definitely a real man among men!
