42.Unexpected reunion

　　[The knight's words made you realize something. ]

　　[This is the village where Artolis is located. ]

　　[Rescuing the knights who were defeated from the front line is indeed what a person of his kind would do. ]

　　"Then where is he now?" Ian asked.

　　"This..."

The knights looked at each other, then shook their heads.

　　"He didn't tell us where he went, he just asked us to wait here for him to come back."

　　"Did he say anything else?"

　　"Nothing more." The knight answered truthfully.

　　"Good."

　　Ian did not continue to ask.

　　He knew that these wounded knights wouldn't know much.

　　However, even if there was no useful information, Ian could probably infer what Artolis was doing.

　　Based on his character, he was probably looking for a way to help this group of knights.

　　[Your thoughts were soon confirmed. ]

　　[With the words "Everyone has been waiting for a long time", Artolis appeared in front of you with a bucket of things and an older man. ]

　　[Obviously, the bucket should be food, and the older man was the one she invited to treat the knights' wounds. ]

　　[You smiled and waved to him. ]

　　[But he was stunned, and the bucket he was holding fell vertically from his hands because of this. ]

　　Ian's response was quick.

　　The moment the barrel was out of Artoris's hand, he took action directly.

　　Before it fell to the ground, Ian had already held it firmly in his hand.

　　"What a speed!"

　　The knights' eyes were filled with surprise.

　　They increasingly believe that the defeat of the war is closely related to Ian's absence.

　　"Give."

　　Ian handed over what he was holding.

　　"Artolis, focus on what you are doing."

　　"Eh...oh."

　　Artolis nodded repeatedly, took the bucket from Ian, and then seemed to suddenly realize something.

　　She first said to the people beside her who came with her:

　　"I'll leave it to you to treat the knights' wounds."

　　Then he looked back at Ian.

　　"Mr. Ian, please wait for me!"

　　After saying that, Artolis put down the bucket in his hand and ran outside in a hurry.

　　[You didn't understand why Artolis suddenly ran away again. ]

　　[But you didn't think much about it. ]

　　[The people Artolis invited are just as you thought, here to heal the knight's wounds. ]

　　[You watched all this silently from the side and didn't say much. ]

　　[Until a familiar voice rings in your ears again. ]

　　"Mr. Ian." Artolis's soft voice sounded in his ears.

　　Ian turned around and immediately understood what he had just done.

　　I saw that Artolis's face was quite moist, and there were still tiny drops of water on the ends of his hair.

　　Her beautiful long golden hair was tied back, and the wrapping material was the same piece of cloth that was torn off last time.

　　The clothes that were originally a little messy were neatly arranged, and no wrinkles after work could be seen at all.

　　This situation couldn't be easier to judge - Artolis went out of his way to wash his face and dress himself up a little.

　　But it wasn't the first time he saw him do this, so Ian didn't pay much attention.

　　Certainly.

　　He also didn't forget what Morgan told him - to kill Artolis.

　　But if we do it in a place like this, I'm afraid the entire village will have to be massacred.

　　Whether you do it or not is another matter.

　　If any knights continue to flee here, it's hard to say what will happen.

　　You have to take it easy first.

　　"Long time no see, Artolis." Ian responded with a smile.

　　"Long time no see, Mr. Ian!"

　　Artolis's face was slightly red, and he clasped his hands slightly in front of his chest. His delicate appearance actually looked a bit like a girl.

　　"I didn't expect to see you here again."

　　"By the way, aren't you very busy? How could..."

　　"Come out and do something."

　　Ian explained the past casually - of course it was impossible for him to tell Artolis what Morgan had entrusted him with.

　　"I see." Artolis did not ask further.

　　"Speaking of which-"

　　Ian looked at the knight receiving treatment beside him.

　　"Artolis, did you bring all these knights back to this village?"

　　Artolis nodded.

　　"Yes."

　　"They are all knights of Britain, protecting us. When they are hurt, we provide them with treatment. This is a matter of course."

　　"But, Artolis."

　　Ian glanced at the knights present.

　　"The sudden influx of so many knights will be an unbearable burden for the entire village, won't it?"

　　"You...are like before, going beyond your capabilities and doing something you think is right?"

　　"Above the limit of ability?"

　　"No." Artolis smiled slightly and shook his head.

　　"Mr. Ian, this time, I did not exceed my capabilities."

　　"I do think these people should be helped, but not beyond what the entire village can handle."

　　"The appearance of these knights will not affect the normal life of the village. I have confirmed this with my brother and father."

　　"Also, I want to tell you something."

　　Artolis looked at the man who was rescuing these knights.

　　"This doctor is also the person I was looking for in the village."

　　"Before this, I had thought that if I couldn't find such a person in the village, I would give up the search."

　　"But finally, after running all over the village, I found him."

　　"You were right what you said that day. None of us have the obligation to do anything beyond our capabilities."

　　"But at least-"

　　Artolis's expression became very serious.

　　"Before I fail completely, I hope I can try all possibilities within the scope of my ability."

　　"..."

　　[You were silent for a long time. ]

　　[This made Artolis panic. ]

　　"Mr. Ian, am I a little stubborn when I do this?" the handsome young man asked.

　　"It's not that stubborn."

　　Ian turned his head to look at Artolis.

　　"It's just that I think if you think so, I'm afraid it will take a lot of energy to do things."

　　"Do you think it's worth it?"

　　"It's worth it." Artolis nodded, "At least I think it's worth it."

　　"Yeah?"

　　Ian felt that his heart was touched by this handsome young man again.

　　He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched Artolis' head.

　　"Well, I hope you get what you want."

　　"Um..."

　　Artolis lowered his head, looking a little shy.

　　At this moment, a figure appeared not far away.

　　"Artolis!"

　　"Eh? Brother?" Artolis raised his head, his eyes panicked, "Why are you back?"

　　"It's not important." The man called brother glanced at Ian.

　　"Come out here!"
