    Under the strong invitation of the militia captain Meng Ge - or under Tomad's repeated hints, although Feng Derek was reluctant, he still agreed to go to treat Father Lieber.  However, considering that it might be troublesome to treat wounds scratched by wild beasts, he returned to the camp specifically and picked up a few more bottles of powder and a set of simple wound treatment tools.  Due to his leg injury, Father Lieber could no longer ride a horse and could only lie on a carriage specially set aside by the refugees for him.  The carriage was probably the only one not laden with tattered furniture, but it was also loaded with dry wheat cakes, green beans, and fist-sized yellow-skinned turnips.  As soon as Tomad opened the thick curtain of the carriage, he smelled the greasy stench of rotting wounds. The pungent smell of herbs had been completely covered up by this stench.  Feng Derek then got on the carriage, asked Mengge to light a torch, and lowered his head to check the condition of the wound.  The injured man, who was called Father Lieber, looked to be quite old. He had gray-and-white hair on his temples, a tall and muscular body, and his leather vest had marks from years of wearing armor. Only his shaved chin showed him.  He doesn't look like a knight.  Tomad always felt that this man looked familiar, but after frowning and thinking for a long time, he still couldn't match him with the knights he had dealt with in his memory.  "He has a fever, as hot as a ball of fire wrapped in human skin. There is carrion toxin in the wound, which must have been scratched by the Shadow Demon Leopard. Fortunately, he has quite good fighting spirit to protect himself, otherwise he would have been rotten long ago.  "It's a bone." Feng Derrick said in a rather authoritative tone, "I have to clean the wound now. Are you asking for two people to hold him down? It's very painful when the cartilage is removed."  Dad is very strong, and seven or eight people may not be able to hold him down." Meng Ge's tone was filled with obvious admiration, "But don't worry about treating him. Dad Libo can endure pain very well.  I have never seen such a strong person. After being scratched by the leopard, he endured the pain and killed it. Otherwise, we would not have been able to deal with the four-legged devil with poisonous claws.  " "The instinctive struggle to wake up from a coma has nothing to do with whether you are strong-willed or not." Feng Derek shook his head in disapproval, "Judging from the signs of spontaneous fighting spirit, this person is at least a great knight.  For God's sake, I don't want to be punched hard by the great knight who wakes up from the pain. "Leave this matter to me," Tomad said.  , gently pressed a hand on Father Lieber's shoulder, and a faint black light penetrated quietly, "Mr. Feng Derek, I guarantee that his struggle will not interfere with your treatment of the wound." Feng Derek  There was a trace of horror in his lowered eyes. Through the movement of fighting energy he felt with his fingers, he found that when Tomad pressed his hand up, the injured person's body immediately relaxed.  If it was a volcano on the verge of erupting just now, now it has gone dormant again.  Feng Derek only knew that the magic cast by some magicians could affect the movement of knight's fighting spirit, but to hinder the fighting spirit of a powerful knight who was at least a great knight?  The rank of the magician who casts this magic will probably not be lower than that of the magister.  "Is he a swordsman genius who can compete with the Grand Knight Captain, an ally or master of the mysterious Dark Elf tribe, or a magician who can cast high-level magic?" Feng Derek felt that his heart might be overwhelmed, and he took a few deep breaths hurriedly.  This time, I regained my mood, and at the same time I felt that I understood Duke Bamilyan's intention.  It is too dangerous and troublesome to be an enemy of such a person. Being friends is obviously a much better choice.  Father Lieber was in a deep coma. When he scraped away the rotten flesh from the wound with a sharp knife, he only made a few indistinct groans.  Feng Derrick carefully cleaned the wound, then poured some strong liquor from his bag and washed away all the blood and green pus until fresh red blood flowed out when he pressed the wound.  The last step was to use white medicated powder to stop the bleeding, and then wrap it tightly with several layers of linen bandages.  Seeing that the blood was no longer seeping out, Feng Derrick breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was not a genuine herbalist. He only dabbled in these skills because of his profession. It was a few years ago that he actually treated people's wounds.  Just when Feng Derek straightened up and was about to say a few words of comfort, Father Lieber suddenly woke up from his coma.  Due to the need to clean the wound, in addition to candles, a torch was lit inside the carriage, which was quite bright.  Father Lieber's opened eyes were a little confused at first, then he shrank, and a hoarse sound came from his throat.  "ShadowGriffin?" Feng Derrick's face froze, and his right hand subconsciously touched his chest.  For the sake of convenience, he had lifted his hooded cloak behind him, and the black griffin badge on his chest was naturally exposed.  But this thing also belongs toIt is a secret that no one should know about the existence of the Shadow Griffin, let alone recognize this badge, unless there are some deep-rooted wealthy nobles in the empire.  "Who are you? Don't tell me that you are a retired old knight. There has never been a precedent in the empire for a knight with the status of Grand Knight or above to retire. Besides, except for the members of the Nine Pillar Family, there are very few people who can recognize the Shadow Griffin emblem.  Not much." Feng Derek's tone was not sinister, and his identity had not been revealed before, but this time he was probably the most relaxed.  In the Sleepless Eye intelligence network, Tomad had a higher status than the Shadow Griffin himself, and Feng Derrick had no intention of considering whether to silence him.  However, his question had already aroused Meng Ge's vigilance. The militia captain holding a torch took a step forward and blocked the old knight with his body.  "What did you say? Daddy Lieber is Daddy Lieber. Why don't I understand what you mean?" Feng Derek only used a cold and ruthless look to make Mengge stand stiffly on the spot.  The secret agent with bloody hands certainly knows how to intimidate a country bumpkin who has never seen much of the world, without even uttering threatening words.  Father Lieber had just woken up from a coma, and his consciousness was not very clear. However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the badge of the Shadow Griffin, which aroused the deepest fear in his heart.  "No, that's not what I meant I recognized the wrong person." "It turns out to be you, Lord Deliber!" Tomad patted Father Deliber on the shoulder, then turned to the front and used his pair of  The golden eyes stared at the expression of the old knight, "I haven't seen you for half a year, how come you are like this? Did the Knights of the Steel Fist kick you out?" Father Lieber's expression became extremely ridiculous at that moment, "  Are you Tomad Ann?" He then glanced at Feng Derek who stepped aside in a respectful manner, with a look of sudden realization in his eyes.  "I understandmore questionshave been answered. Why can't I find any trace of you despite asking the Sleepless Eye Intelligence Network? Why can you lay an ambush in the Magic Mountain Canyon so accurately, and why do so many people suddenly appear?  There are so many subordinates who use poison-quenching hand crossbows and daggersbecause you are the one with the Sleepless Eye, and you are in a high position!" Tomad guessed that he might have shown a very idiotic expression, but except for Feng Derek, the carriage  No one here was amused.  Mengge is now full of fear, feeling like a lamb who suddenly ran into a dark forest surrounded by wolves; Father Lieber, also known as Lord Deliber, relies on his rich experience in political disputes to continue to deduce  , the result pushed the speculation to a possibility that made him shudder, and his face turned as white as a can of rancid milk.  In the next ten minutes, Tomad tried hard to explain to Lord Deliber that his behavior had nothing to do with the Sleepless Eye intelligence network, and that the incident in Og Village was not the Duke of Bamilyan's seduction of Steel Fist.  A trap in which the Marquis makes a fatal mistake.  However, his efforts ended in failure. Lord Deliber's face became paler and paler, and the speculations he spoke became more and more outrageous. Finally, it was the struggle for power in the Nine Pillar Family, and Duke Bamilyan was preparing to purge him.  The level of the Dragonson family.  Full of depression, Tomad finally gave up the useless explanation, and showed some self-defeat, showing the blood-eye badge of the Sleepless Eye.  Lord Deliber recognized the significance of this badge, indicating that the holder's status was second only to the Eight-Eyed Spider Badge of Duke Bamilyan himself, and he became even more convinced that his guess was correct.  When Tomad finally left the carriage, he had already accepted two new members of the Sleepless Eye on behalf of Duke Bamilyan.  Lord Deliber insisted that Tomad provide the identity of a Sleepless Eye agent, even the lowest informant.  Fortunately, Feng Derrick, the leader of Tatarchuk's secret agents, still carried several badges for the development of middle- and low-level personnel. He used one of the badges of a high-level secret agent to appease Lord Deliber's fear, and also gave him a  He got the badge of a low-level eyeliner from Mengge and eliminated the only possibility of leaking his identity.  Although Tomad had no identity to reveal.  Lord Deliber, who finally relaxed, felt very tired, but still managed to tell the story of his escape and desolation.  Only then did Tomad learn from the side about all the changes that had happened in West Wind County after he left the monastery.  Abbot Kurgan and the senior rangers of St. Bablupa Monastery did not give up their efforts to clear his name. Roland's chief ranger even went to the glorious capital of Filmeyer twice, trying every means to clear him.  The evidence was presented to the Emperor Griffon.  This naturally involves the Minister of Intelligence, Duke Bamilyan. When Marquis Dragunson and Marquis Wilps were confronting each other in the court, the Minister of Intelligence made some insinuations, causing the situation to quickly turn extremely unfavorable to Marquis Dragunson.  side.  The Virtue who was severely reprimanded by the Griffin EmperorMarquis Gongxun was naturally extremely angry. The great magician from Malama who was hired with huge wealth died suddenly and for no reason. His unventable anger was directed at the poor Lord Deliber.  After receiving this news, before the deadline came, Lord Deliber had no choice but to give up his position as commander of the second branch and his title, and embarked on an anonymous escape.  The next step is how Father Lieber appeared in Shock Town, and how he gained the trust and acceptance of the townspeople. Seeing that the old knight was almost unable to support himself, Tomad offered to let him have a good rest, and then he and  Feng Derek left the carriage together and returned to the campsite where the air was fresh and the night breeze was cool.  A large area of ??various tents has been set up here, clusters in a mess, like mushrooms growing in the forest after the rain; dozens of bonfires are distributed in the middle of the camp, with black smoke mixed with sparks that have never dried out.  The firewood started to appear, like stars that had fallen into the world and were moving around.  Tomad smelled the smell of barbecued wheat cakes and the sound of soup cooking. The peasant women were preparing dinner that was already several hours late. From time to time, there were the sounds of children crying and the injured groaning.  "Can they be properly accommodated?" Tomad said in a low tone, as if he was asking himself or some unspecified person.  "Can these refugees be allocated land and houses in Grand Serret County and continue to live?" "I'm afraid Grand Serret County will not welcome these refugees, and according to what Lord Deliber just said, there will definitely be more refugees coming.  Two batches, but most of the villages and towns in West Wind County are planning to flee." Feng Derek stood behind Tomad, also looking at this scene, but there was no emotion in his eyes.  "Lord Tomad, I'm afraid you can't control so many things, and with all due respect, it's not appropriate for Sleepless Eye to get involved, otherwise I'm afraid the officials of Daserei County will be deeply shocked and disturbed." Tomad forced himself  He smiled and said, "I know, Mr. Fengdrick." He replied softly, and his last sigh drifted into the dark night.
