The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 89

The water is very refreshing. The flow of clear river water like glass makes Sean interested to wash his face.

Sean saw the shadow of himself that was in this clear water. He looked at it to the details of his face. It was true that her face had not changed, but she was growing somewhat mature after going through some dangerous obstacles.

Sean is good at handling things wisely.

Behind Sean's back, Jessica was helping Amuria who was lying weak on the edge of the creek. In the company of Driyad, Jessica rather painstakingly took care of this ferocious-looking creature. If you think, it is actually very unsuitable that the girl works as a medic.

"I don't know what to do with this plant? He just didn't tell me what to do next." Jessica complained a little, the creature in front of her closed not opening her eyes.

He's not dead, just, like... Fainting or unconsciousness. Jessica was confused as to what she should treat him. "Sean! Can you help me?" jessica shouted from a few meters away.

Sean looked. "What can I help you with?"

"I'm not sure, but you have to try first."

Sean approached Jessica, seeing that there was a stone dimple in Jessica's hand. Herbal medicinal plants, traditional pounders, maybe Sean would call them modern stirrers. Yes, although not sophisticated, but quite impressed. To this day, stone is still used as a medium of life. Although the trend has faded in the era of more advanced civilizations.

"What did you mash?" ask Sean. The color is jet black, it is soft like vegetable porridge. At the sight of the plant, it smells, like...... The aroma of parfume, very fragrant, is also good in the breath.

"It's.... I don't know?" Jessica scratched the back of her head. If Jessica could say pretentiously, perhaps she would answer: "This is a maple leaf," but she did not dare to say. "I've never seen a black plant like this mulbey. Before, just a quick glance, then I was confused, what plant is this. Smells, equates to the best fragrances in the world."

Sean took a pinch of the finely mashed plant, then inhaled its aroma. "I know this smell."

"That black Lagundi leaf, the medicine that can bid for the poison of the arrow of the Goddess Handita," Driyad said. The two children were discussing without him, how could it be?

"Oh, yeah. I remember" said Sean. He recalled the moment Driyad was injured, the boy brought the black Lagundi plant. "I know how. Yudhar had once treated Driyad using these leaves."

"That's right," said Driyad. "The boy left a good impression." Driyad approached the two, just looking. He had no fingers like the two of them, what should he help with? He was confused as to what to do except..... Screwup. Damaging something, that was his only skill.

"How do I unplug this dart, Sean?" Jessica reminded. The bow child's fracture was very deep, it was difficult to pull it out.

Sean thought, maybe the only way is. "Operation method?" said briefly.

"Huh? You sure?"

Sean nodded. "I'm sure" he answered. "It's the only way to get those arrows out."

Jessica felt an aura of horror. The teenager in front of him had never done this method of medicine. Jessica rubbed her forehead, completely trusting Sean. "As far as you go, I'm resigned."

There was no choice, indeed it was the only way to take out this painful little thing. Or, he'll become tetanus, and then fester. Terrible, if in the shadows.

Sean tore the part around the wound, not too big, just plucking out the small object. For maybe ten minutes, Sean managed to get the thing out.

Blood had already smeared the hands, at least this bore fruit.

Jessica noticed him, and then, after that, she muttered in amazement. Sean can't be doubted. "He really is a genius" he said slowly.

Sean had seen Yudhar do the treatment method on Driyad, although he only saw a glimpse, but Sean wanted to try. Slowly he poured the medicine in Amuria's wound, rather thoroughly, it must have been like eating a bottle of spicy chili sauce.

Lucky for Amuria, maybe because she fell asleep so she did not feel any pain from this treatment.

"She just said get the plants by the river. I was confused as to what the name of the plant was. I almost called it a wild plant, because the one who told me was a wild animal." Jessica complained, complaining about what she was thinking.

"Not a wild animal" sambar Driyad. "Amurian. You can't just call it a beast, " said Driyad.

"Should I call him that?"

"If you don't want to get caught by her," Driyad scares Jessica.

Jessica shook her head, Driyad had at least tried to prank herself.

"The day has darkened. Should we spend the night here?" Sean interrupted.

Jessica looked at the ceiling that had almost sunk from the bright sunlight. A moment later, "I agree with you."

Sean knew Jessica would follow his instructions. Sean no longer said, just got back to normal and then moved away. Looking for twigs, at his gathering near the riverbank.

"He wants to make fire!" Jessica knows that. He saw it, there was no way Sean would have a picnic with dry twigs. Or he has switched professions as a carpenter. "By the way, Sean?" Jessica interrupted. "Is there a food source around here?"

"Surely he's hungry" Sean said slowly. He was waiting for two stones to start a fire. On the left, looking for something to eat. And the result is nil. "I haven't found a food source yet" he said indifferently.

"Of Sean," Jessica approached him, then sat crouched down in front of Sean who was lighting a fire. "You're certainly as hungry as I am. Can we get some food? I'm really hungry!"

The fire that Sean made was already burning as long as Jessica said. "I asked Driyad!" he said he made a decision. "He knows everything."

"In the west there is a orchard, you can go there. Not far away, it's in front of you" said Driyad. The boy was already staring at him, before he asked, Driyad replied first.

Sean and Jessica went west, passing a small, grassy road. And sure enough, not far from there is a stretch of creeping clumps.

"Is this watermelon?" Jessica murmured.

Sean nodded. "It's probably a watermelon."

The two of them were a bit confused, whether it was watermelon or not. It's huge, maybe hundreds of pounds.

Jessica tapped on the fruit, from the outside it was a watermelon. The skin pattern is easy to recognize. GECK! GECK! the fingers do the prank. Put his ears on the round skin of the fruit, to make sure that it is really watermelon.

"I'm sure this giant must be a watermelon. I recognize the shape and sound when on tap," said Jessica with full confidence.

"If you're sure, then there's nothing more to doubt" Sean replied. Because Jessica said it was a watermelon, Sean pulled out his sword.

"What do you want?" jessica was confused. Sean was ready to swing his greatsword.

"Of course I want to cut it!"

"Oh! I thought you wanted to do it to me."

Sean shook his head, Jessica thought too far. In a split second, Sean instantly thrust out his sword, then..... And what happened, split into two parts. The fruit ends up being a cut watermelon.

"Wow!!" jessica's mouth was open. The color of the fruit is fresh red, the seeds are large, even the water of this fruit flows because of so much water content.

Sean gives a piece of watermelon to Jessica, while tasting it, Jessica enjoys the cool and legit sensation of the fruit. "It tastes so sweet, as if inside it were given an artificial sweetener."

"Glucose?" Sean snatched.

"it looks like it" Jessica said. "But how can it be in a place like this. Fruits can thrive even their unusual shape. Do they use special fertilizers or do they use seedlings?" Jessica said, followed by a guess.

"Maybe they have a gene research lab." Sean added. "Or they have a sophisticated equipment that can enlarge the size of the fruit so that it is different from the original shape."

"Your idea is ridiculous!" jessica Sahut. Sean can brag, oh.... Jessica forgot, Sean is human too. Just being pretentious adults, to the point of refusing to play typical teenagers.

"I'm just following your instructions" Sean dodged.

Yeah, at least Sean's one part of him that's cloned. Or a kind of Amoeba that can split. Jessica thought, the idea of boasting it was contaminated by her, Yudhar, or Driyad?

While eating the big fruit, suddenly in the sky. A rumbling sound rang out, blackening, as if the clouds were out of the way because they were covered by the black shadow.

"Isn't that the bird we saw?" elbow Jessica.

"Sura Birds?" Sean replied. At least Driyad's words he remembered.

"Ah, yes. Right," Jessica flicked her finger. "But why did they come back like that? Is there another threat?"

"Come on," Sean shrugged both of his shoulders. "Would we just find out what's going on?" Sean suggested an idea. Which is probably, a bit challenging. There could be a beast chasing the birds.

The birds were flying on the south side of the rather dark sky. Sean thought, other than there was a threat, there must have been an attack that made the birds grumble.

When both want to go towards the birds, suddenly from behind the cliff out maybe hundreds of mosarus.

"Oh, No!" this time Sean and Jessica again meet the savage they have seen in the cave of the blind witch. "That, creature.... Which we've met!"

"Mosarus."

"True, he's that thing!" Jessica almost forgot the name of this creature.

The creature had sharp eyesight, Sean and Jessica explained, visible from the air, the swarm of birds was apparently about to pass on the hill.

One of the birds approached them, knowing that they were both delicious prey.

Sean held Jessica's hand, then pulled her away from the orchard. "We have to run, or they'll eat us!"

The frenzied breath was increasing, the road they took back into the forest on the river bank made both of them quite difficult.

The plant blocks his second move.

Because of their faltering footsteps, Mosarus, who flew as fast as the wind, now managed to pull his claws on Jessica's shoulders. And.... Succeeds. The creature carried Jessica flying through the air.

"Sean!" scream Jessica.
