Ranger King of Azeroth

  Chapter 24 Scars—The Mark of Vigilance

   Li Reza felt nervous when he saw Charlemagne's appearance, and hurried up to ask about the situation.

   "What's the matter, where is the troll? Charlemagne, why are you injured?"

  When everyone saw Li Reza's arrival, they saluted Li Reza politely. Seeing that Charlemagne was still in a daze, and Cirvanas looked distraught, Yawen stood up and explained the situation.

  Adhering to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, Yawen told Li Reza about Cirvanas' adventure decision, Charlemagne's rescue at the critical moment, and the battle just now from an objective point of view.

"I see…"

  After hearing the whole story, Li Reza glanced at his second daughter in disappointment, walked to Charlemagne and began to care about his injury.

   "Charlemagne, how is the injury? Are your eyes okay?"

Since Yawen didn't know much about the battle situation on Charlemagne's side just now, he could only know from Cirvanas' self-blaming words just now that Yawen was injured in order to save her, so he told the truth I told the ranger general.

  Woke up by the mentor's words, Charlemagne finally woke up from the reflection of the battle just now, he shook his head with a wry smile.

   "The eyes are fine... but I'm afraid I will lose my appearance in the future. It's because I'm too complacent that it will lead to such consequences."

   "It's all my fault... If I hadn't been petrified just now, you wouldn't have entered Halraz's charging range just to miss that throwing knife..."

  Just as Li Reza was about to ask about the details of the battle, the second daughter Cirvanas whispered regretfully into her ears.

Charlemagne immediately shook his head and denied, "No! In the final analysis, it was because of my mentality that I suddenly made an inappropriate retreat at that time. It is normal for you to be stunned when you are suddenly exposed to the murderous aura of a high-ranking fighter. "

  Following the debate between the two, Li Reza, Yawen and the others finally understood what happened in those few seconds just now.

   "Okay! You don't have to take responsibility for each other! Both parties are at fault for this matter!"

   "First of all, it's you, Charlemagne! Just like what you said, it really shouldn't be possible to get carried away during the battle, and it's also a major mistake for you to lose your composure and walk into the charging range in the end."

   After scolding his disciples, Li Reza turned to his daughter with a more severe attitude.

   "And you, Cirvanas! You actually froze in the face of a warrior. Have you forgotten all my usual teachings? What about your conditioned reflex?"

   "What's more important! You actually went your own way and wanted to make a surprise attack despite the dissuasion of Yawen, Charlemagne, and Sclan. If Charlemagne hadn't led a team to the rescue, do you know how many elves you would have killed with you!"

   Facing his mother's questioning, the pale-faced Cirvanas was speechless to refute.

  After she calmed down, she realized how stupid her choice of eager for quick success was. After the excitement of surpassing her eldest sister passed, the harsh situation made her feel extremely self-blame.

Charlemagne, who has been with Li Reza for 10 years, of course knows the strict requirements of his mentor on his children. This time, Cirvanas' greedy and aggressive behavior obviously made the mentor angry and disappointed. At this time, he can only stand up and fight. Cut off her anger.

   "Okay, okay, mentor, calm down. The result is okay. At least the main force of trolls has been forced to retreat now, and our earliest strategic goal has been achieved."

   "But! Your injury..."

Li Reza looked at the bandages still tied on Charlemagne's face with self-blame. Before her best friend died, she asked her to help take care of Charlemagne. To be clear, it was to save his stupid daughter.

  Charlemagne smiled sassyly, and took off the bandage on his head.

   "Under Liadrin's holy light treatment, the bleeding has already stopped, and the bandage was only wrapped to avoid infection during the scarring period."

  With the removal of the bandage, everyone could clearly see a long scar starting from Charlemagne's right forehead, crossing the eyelids and reaching near the chin.

  Currently, Cirvanas couldn't help turning his head when he saw the hideous dark red scar that had just scabbed over, and began to twitch his shoulders slightly.

  Seeing that the scene froze for a moment, Charlemagne shrugged pretending to be relaxed.

   "Okay, everyone don't have this expression, maybe the Theron family is destined to have a scar?"

He vaguely remembered from that vague memory that his father, Sigmar, also had a long scar on the bridge of the nose across the left and right sides of his face, and it seemed that Lor'themar would also hurt his eyes later, so he wore a black blindfold .

   "You, hey..."

   Li Reza, who has known Theron's family for thousands of years, naturally knows what Charlemagne means, and she also knows that these are just words of comfort from her disciples.

  Being disfigured at the beginning of the battle is not a happy thing for anyone.

   Liadrin said with some hesitation at this time, "Actually... I do know that there is a way to remove this scar."

  Sirvanas turned around hastily when she heard this, her eyes were still red and swollen, she and Li Reza pressed Liadrin's shoulders and asked anxiously, "What can I do?"

"Forehead…"

   Liadrin, who was startled, was stunned for a few seconds before she could react, and stammered out the possibility she knew.

"I heard...the city of Stratholme in the Kingdom of Lordaeron has a very talented archbishop named Alonsus Faol. If he makes a move, maybe..."

"Mother…"

   Just as Cirvanas looked at his mother expectantly, Charlemagne decisively interrupted what she wanted to say.

"No!"

"Not to mention that we have never had any contact with this human archbishop, how much it will cost to heal this insignificant scar, and I myself intend to let it stay, so I should always be alert to myself and not make the same stupid mistake again! "

   Li Reza knew that he had made a decision when he saw the determined expression of the proud disciple.

  Although Charlemagne is usually easy-going and approachable, once he has made the final choice, no one can make him turn back.

  She patted Charlemagne on the shoulder heavily as a sign of encouragement, then changed the subject and started discussing the war.

   "Okay, then let's discuss the problem of chasing trolls."

   Speaking of which, she first issued a severe punishment order to her second daughter.

  "In view of Cirvanas' poor command, I will be relieved of all duties immediately and become a member of the ordinary ranger. All the troops under her command will be under my command for the time being."
