The sound of hooves clattered as Martin finally arrived back at the Red Rock Territory. He looked at Wayne, who was barely breathing in Eric's arms, then at Derry, who was crying heartbrokenly beside him. His heart felt like it was tangled in a tangled mess, and he was filled with anxiety.
Martin quickly took out the communication crystal and sent a message to Earl White about Wayne's critical situation. Not long after, Earl White replied quickly, saying that he would come immediately.
Wayne was in a very bad condition at this time. His vitality was slipping away like sand in an hourglass, and even speaking became extremely difficult.
Martin was extremely anxious and quickly asked the system for help: "Can Wayne be saved?" The system quickly checked and responded: "The human's vitality is too severely depleted and he urgently needs to replenish his vitality. This system is powerless." Upon hearing this, Martin felt a surge of powerlessness, his legs softened, and he sat down on the chair next to him in disappointment.
Derry had already broken down in tears. He held Wayne's hand tightly and kept repeating, "You'll be fine. You'll definitely be fine. Dad will be here soon. You must hold on."
Sadness made Derry's voice more and more choked. In the end, he could no longer speak, but the hand holding Wayne never let go.
Martin suddenly had an idea, thinking the elves might have items or potions that could increase vitality. He immediately ordered Eric to lead him towards the Strange Rock Beach. Regardless of the knight's losses, they quickly reached their destination.
However, the scene before them disappointed them greatly. The rocky beach was already deserted, and the magic props left by the golden knights had disappeared without a trace.
Martin forced himself to calm down and thought to himself: Could it be that they have entered the legendary secret realm? No, if they could enter, they would never have let me leave.
Could it be that he was returning to Yuehui Lingyu Forest? Thinking of this, he immediately asked Eric to get a bottle of recovery potion, and then rushed towards the general direction of Yuehui Lingyu Forest like lightning.
Time passed by minute by minute in the anxious waiting. Martin was anxious because he knew that Eric had increased his speed to the limit.
At this moment, Eric suddenly made a discovery. He keenly sensed that the elves he had encountered before were in front of him, so he immediately chased after them. Eric discovered the elves, and the elves also noticed their approach, and instantly put on a wary look and looked in Martin's direction.
After catching up with the elves, Martin hurriedly stopped them. The girl said with an unhappy look on her face, "Why are you, a human, stopping us? Are you planning to take us as slaves?"
Martin hurriedly explained, "No, it's a misunderstanding! My brother Wayne had a lot of vitality drained away in the magic circle. I wanted to ask if you elves have any things or potions that can replenish vitality."
After hearing this, the girl's face was full of disbelief, and her expression seemed even more surprised than when she heard that she was going to be captured as a slave.
She looked Martin up and down for a while, then said, "Let's not talk about whether I have this thing on me. Even if I do, do you think I will give you such a precious potion?" Martin was speechless for a moment.
Seeing his expression, the girl turned and signaled her companions to leave. Martin then shouted, "I swear on my life that if you give me something that can increase my lifespan, I will do three things for you. As long as it doesn't harm my family, I will do anything!"
After hearing this, the girl smiled playfully: "Are you kidding? Who do you think you are? You even want to help me do three things. Do you know who I am? It's a big joke that you are the one doing things for me." After that, she ignored Martin and left.
For the first time, Martin felt such intense frustration. Just then, the communication crystal lit up. It was Earl White. "Martin, where are you now?" the Earl asked. Martin replied dejectedly, "I'm outside the Red Rock Territory. I caught up with the elves. I tried to ask them for life-enhancing items, but I didn't get any."
The count sensed Martin's loss and said gently, "Come back, your brother is fine now." Martin was surprised and happy: "Really? Do you have any props or potions to enhance your life, father?" The count did not answer, but asked Martin to come back.
After hanging up, Martin stood there for a long time, looking in the direction the elf girl had gone. After a long while, he turned back to Eric and asked with concern, "Eric, how are you?" Eric smiled and replied, "Master, I'm fine. The Golden Knights have strong recovery abilities." With that, he took Martin and sped off towards the Red Rock Territory.
Back at the Red Rock Territory Castle, Martin hurried, his heart filled with anxiety, and headed straight for Wayne's room. He pushed open the door and saw Wayne, still frail, yet radiating a vibrant energy. The combination of these two states seemed particularly discordant.
Martin walked over quickly, leaned over to Earl White and asked, "Father, what exactly happened?" The Earl looked calm and said slowly, "It was the potion that saved him."
As if anticipating Martin's next question, the Earl continued, "This is the S-rank potion I obtained while in the capital—the Dawn of Life. I nearly lost my life while saving a prince, but fortunately I managed to pull it off. The reward was quite generous. I received this potion and was also awarded the title of Commander of the Tenth Legion."
Otherwise, do you think that I, an earl in a remote northern border, could command the Royal Tenth Legion? Later, some unexpected events led me to the northern border."
After listening to the Earl's story, Martin knew that there must be a big mistake behind this. Otherwise, with such a relationship, his father would never be exiled to this northern border.
