Chapter 275: My Life Belongs to You!

Mick blinked, raising his head again, yet the sparkle in his eyes had still not returned.

Clearly, he thought he had just been hearing things.

"I ask you, do you want to save her?"

This time, Mick finally confirmed it was not an auditory hallucination; his pupils focused.

Then, looking at Gervas with hope, he said, "I want... I want! Please, save Rebena! Please..."

"Swear loyalty to me and become my serf, and I can save her; otherwise, I cannot save someone unrelated to me!" Gervas's expression was cold.

But to Mick, it sounded so beautiful, like the music of the heavens.

"My lord noble, please save Rebena. As long as you bring her back to life, I will do anything you ask! I, Mick, can give you my very life!"

"Very well!" Gervas finally nodded in satisfaction, then pulled a green potion from his robes.

At this moment, Rebena had reached her final moments, muttering continuously at the corner of her mouth.

"Fa... ther, I think I see Mother..."

Hearing this, Mick broke down even further.

Gervas slowly squatted down, gently pinched Rebena's chin, and then poured the potion in his hand into her mouth.

The next instant, a large amount of green energy light points spilled out from Rebena's mouth.

Of course, even more began to wander within Rebena's body.

Finally, all the green light points gathered at the wound on her abdomen.

Visible to the naked eye, Rebena began to heal; in the end, only the torn opening in her clothes remained, and not even a scar existed at the wound site.

"Rebena!"

Mick was both shocked and overjoyed, but Rebena did not wake up immediately.

"Do not worry. Although I gave her a precious Life Potion, she lost too much blood and is not a Title Knight herself, so she may only awaken a bit later!"

"Life Potion?" Mick looked at Gervas in disbelief.

"What else did you think it was?"

Mick knew the noble before him had no reason to deceive him, nor any need to do so.

Only the legendary Life Potion could revive someone on the brink of death, heal wounds visibly to the naked eye, and leave not even a scar behind.

"I thank you for your saving grace, my lord noble. From now on, I, Mick, am yours!" Mick carefully laid Rebena flat, then knelt and bowed deeply to Gervas.

"Enough! Although I lost quite a bit, I am in need of people now. You, a Silver Knight, have some use; come back to my territory with me first!"

Afterwards, Gervas led the people of Mick's gathering back to Storm Territory.

Mick's gathering originally had over fifty people, but after the fighting, fewer than thirty remained.

Only five Title Knights, including Mick, remained, plus more than twenty women and children.

Among them were the wives and children of people like Mike, as well as the wives and children of the soldiers who had died in battle earlier.

"I... where am I? Could this be the place after death? Where is my mother?"

Rebena slowly awakened; opening her eyes, she found she was lying on a soft bed, and above her head was a beautiful bronze lamp.

At least seven or eight candles were lit on the bronze lamp.

She was certain she must be dead.

Because if she were still alive, she could not possibly be in such an environment.

Leaving aside the soft bed and the beautiful bronze lamp.

Even for candles, before fleeing, she had only lit one or two in the darkness.

But now, sunlight spilling through the window on the right clearly showed it was daytime.

"My lord, she has awakened!"

Just then, a shout reached Rebena's ears.

Rebena was startled and quickly looked to her left.

She found a beautiful Young Lady in a silk gown looking at her.

With a smile on her face, she said, "You are awake, brave girl!"

"I... you..."

"Do not be afraid. This is Lord Gervas's castle; it was our lord who saved you and your other companions!"

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps approached.

This time, Rebena finally saw someone familiar.

"Father!"

"Rebena! You have finally awakened; this is truly wonderful!" Tears filled Mick's eyes as he excitedly embraced his daughter.

"Father, what... what exactly happened? Did I not die?" Rebena let go of her father and instinctively touched her abdomen.

She then discovered she had already changed into a brand-new set of clothes.

And at the site of her original wound, no pain came at all, as if everything before had been fake.

But she clearly remembered that long sword had pierced through her...

Mick finally reacted.

"Rebena, quickly, get off the bed and thank Lord Gervas. It was Lord Gervas who saved you and saved all of us!"

"It was him?"

In her final moments, she had indeed seemed to see that figure; she had originally thought it was a hallucination...

"Enough! Mick, let her rest well!"

"She is a brave girl, worthy of my tolerant treatment!"

Gervas had been told by Eve, who was responsible for aerial surveillance, about Rebecca's brave actions earlier.

Gervas was also deeply impressed by the courage of this girl who looked no older than fourteen or fifteen.

Even after Caroline the maid learned of it, she looked at the girl with new respect.

Afterwards, Gervas left with Mick.

Only Rebecca was left, feeling as if she were in a dream.

"Come on, this is the meat soup the kitchen just made for you at Lord Gervas's request; eat it and you'll recover sooner!"

"Thank you, beautiful sister!"

Caroline immediately laughed until she shook, "You should be thanking Lord Gervas; I am merely Lord Gervas's servant!"

"Mm, sister, I also thank Lord Gervas!"

The girl nodded seriously upon hearing this.

What she did not know was that very few girls could truly earn Caroline's approval.

After all, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two 'tigers'.

Especially a beautiful girl like Rebecca.

As long as someone entered the castle, Caroline was filled with hostility.

"Alright, Rebecca, eat quickly! The meat soup will get cold soon..."

"My lord, you summoned me!"

"Captain Pike, sit and talk!"

The visitor was none other than Captain Pike of the Hunter's Village.

The hunting squad led by Captain Pike nowadays has become one of the most important pillars of Storm Domain's income.

Every month, they can hunt at least five hundred high-quality furs for Storm Domain.

And the wild beast meat reaches several thousand jin.

This meat is also one of the most important sources of meat for all the people of Storm Domain.

Of course, recently with the increase of refugees, if serfs still want to treat themselves, they can also obtain cheap meat from the refugees.

But regardless, the importance of Captain Pike and his hunting squad will not diminish.

In fact, Gervas has even focused on cultivating them.

That precious silver fish, the entire hunting squad gets a share.

Because Gervas hopes that one day, the hunting squad's targets will not be limited to ordinary wild beasts, but will also include magical beasts!

"My lord, I am fine standing; if there is anything, just give the order!"

The longer Pike lived in Storm Domain, the more respect he felt for his lord.

So, although his current status meant there was no problem with sitting as instructed,

he did not want to sit, because he felt that standing to listen to Lord Gervas's orders was the greatest respect for Lord Gervas.

"Very well!" Gervas did not insist; Captain Pike had been like this the previous few times.

"Captain Pike, have you heard of the first-tier magical beast, the Fiery Sheep?"
