The Dragon Soul Forging

15. Cure

The body feels very hot, the head is so dizzy. That night I felt the fever that I was experiencing was getting worse, the body was also limp unable to move.

So tired but unable to rest.

Blood came out of my mouth when I coughed. “What... will I die?.” I am very desperate.

The pain that I have suffered cannot be endured anymore. Maybe dying would be so much better for me than continuing like this.

But hearing Roxy looked so sad when I said that. Even though I hurt him, but the dog is still so attentive to me.

Roxy, Akita, goblin, goat, cat, horse and four chickens. They were all that I saved earlier from the cocoon, they were currently circling around me with a sad look.

Realizing that if there was a wet cloth on the forehead, someone must have put it to let my fever go down. ‘Who put this wet cloth on my head?.’ I looked at the stars, ‘No way they are, what is this goblin doing?.’

I smile.

They are like family members who are willing to see one of the families will soon meet his death.

“Died in the middle of a herd of animals..” I started to laugh a little, but it made me cough hard, “...well I can't imagine anything better than this.”

I feel like I could die peacefully now.

But it feels like something is lacking, “True, where is the old man?.” the old man I saved earlier, looks nowhere.

“What is he already gone?.”

As I thought so, I slowly heard the sound of the hammer knocking.

While searching for where the sound came from, I found a small-bodied old man knocking on the iron he was heating using a bonfire.

“Bist du wach?,” the old man again spoke a language I did not understand, “Warte einen Moment, lass mich die Vorbereitungen beenden.” I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

The old man shouted towards the goblin, who then replaced the wet cloth on my forehead with a cooler one.

That cold cloth makes me feel better.

“Trim.... thanks.” I used all my remaining strength to say that.

The goblins don't seem to care. He seemed to be doing all this just out of fear of the old man.

After a while, the old man came up with different types of knives and scissors made using various equipment such as spoons, forks and screwdrivers.

‘What does he want to do?.

Looking at all the knives he had brought scared me.

The old man then began to clean my severed arm, after which he began to bandage the wound using a cloth made from the Assassin Spider cocoon.

‘Why doesn't he use bandages?.’

Before I only tied up the arm wound using a cloth. I thank you for taking care of my wounds so that the blood no longer comes out.

Next the old man again spoke a language that I did not understand, “Halte seinen Kopf.”

The goblin immediately moved behind me after hearing the old man's words. The green-skinned man held my head tightly, I had no idea what they were planning.

The old man then put a brace on the left eye socket that made me unable to close my eyes.

As I expected, the old man started to do oration on my left eye. Fragments of his eyeballs popped out so quickly. I didn't feel anything at first, and it was normal to see my blackened eyeballs with scratches.

But the next moment the pain was so painful, the old man who seemed to know it was going to happen started picking up knives and scissors and doing something in my eye socket.

I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it for myself, the old man picked up some larvae from my eyes. Can't bear to see that I almost fainted, but the pain I kept feeling kept me awake.

“Du bist ziemlich gut darin, about nicht zu schreien.” Said the old man while continuing to take the larvae from my eye socket.

The more larvae he took, the less the headache began, until I finally could rest in peace.

***

In the morning I woke up. My head still hurts, but it's much better now. Some animals looked surprised as I got up. They immediately scattered, except for the two dogs sleeping on my lap.

Roxy barked at me, it made me sad. I immediately hugged her and apologized after what I did yesterday. The atmosphere of haru lasted a bit long, until finally Akita woke up and immediately asked for a defend.

The Japanese dog kept looking at me like I would cry if I didn't. “This is it for you.” I rubbed under the big dog's chin. He seems to enjoy it.

“Du bist wach!,” the voice of an old man was heard approaching, he came while carrying grilled rabbit meat that seemed to be his breakfast menu.

I still don't understand what he's saying, he keeps talking some things that I don't understand. Being hungry I also took some instant noodles to cook, then drank a soft drink for me to drink.

After waking up I felt my body getting healthier, the dizziness I felt disappeared as soon as I inhaled the air. It was like when I woke up when I had just come home from the Dungeon.

“As if I've just been revived.”

The pleasure of instant noodles made me recover. The old man just looked at me who was enjoying breakfast, he no longer seemed interested in his grilled rabbit meat.

I also offered him instant noodles. The old man seemed to be enjoying the instant noodles I made for him.

[Opens job (Thief)]

Instantly I spouted noodles after hearing the announcement I just heard. Seeing that old man and the stars looked at me in wonder.

“Somehow I suddenly opened the burglar job.”

Don't understand why it's like this, is it because I stole food from the Minimart owners?. I started to panic for fear that someone might see me plundering the store.

‘Is there a cctv or something?.’

When I checked it, it was lucky the surveillance cameras didn't work.

“Huff, thank God I can loot everything without worry.” Roxy and Akita looked at me suspiciously. That look makes me so nervous. They seem to want to say. “Swiper don't steal, Swiper don't steal.”

But they were soon silent as I bribed the two dogs with whyskiss, a pet food that I often saw on television.

“7 different flavors. How does it feel to eat something with 7 different flavors.”

It seems like it's not just the dogs that love the food, as the other stars start to gather. Even the goblins were in line when I started handing out food to the animals.

It made me curious about the taste of Whyskiss food, “Maybe I can try it.” I ate what looked like a small piece, then as I started chewing, an explosion occurred inside my mouth.

“HUEEEK!” I threw up, it was so disgusting, it was so much worse than the roast I cooked.

“That's the weirdest taste that ever got into my mouth.”
