Chapter 34 34: Sleepless Night

The bright crescent moon hangs in the clear night sky, dotted with countless stars, and the Milky Way is clearly visible.

This ancient starry sky without industrial pollution deeply attracted Anji.

It would be nice if there was no curse here.

Anji walked outside the house, trying to find a secluded place to spend some time alone, but happened to see another unlucky guy who had insomnia - Sean.

At the same time, the other party also saw her.

"Are you awake?"

Sean, who was lazily leaning against the wall, instantly tensed up and walked up to Anji, looking up and down nervously, as if he had seen something strange.

"Did I sleep for a long time?"

Angie tilted her head, a little confused. Although Angie spent a long time in a place where she didn't know whether it was a dream or an illusion, she was not sure what the reality was.

Sean looked into her eyes, nodded, and said seriously:

"It's been four days since you talked with Barton - if you don't wake up, we will consider sending you to the priest for prayer. The villagers all think you are possessed by something unclean.

, and have been in a coma."

"Unclean things?" Anji repeated the story and chuckled, "Is there anything more unclean than a curse in this world?"

"this……"

Sean choked for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Anyway, as long as you're fine."

Even though they hadn't seen each other for just a few days, the two young people felt that a long time had passed.

"Anji, was it you who saved me?"

Sean naturally remembered the petite, glowing figure running towards him. He was not stupid, so of course he knew who saved him.

Anji didn't answer, there was some hesitation in his expression.

If it were her original self, she would definitely change the topic in a playful way without giving any accurate answers.

She knew very little about this world, so she was extremely cautious. And it was this kind of caution that made her always wary of everyone, even her comrades who shared life and death together.

But Slade's words kept echoing in her mind:

"There is a crack in your soul, and it is a little shaken -"

The crack was probably caused by her excessive use of her abilities, and the pain that was not physical at that time was the best evidence.

But what does wavering mean?

Angie felt that she had the answer. Although the direct reason may be that she was angered by Hardfer's sexual manipulation, the fundamental reason was still herself.

Before this, she had always maintained a just right social distance from the people around her - seemingly familiar, but not close to each other.

To this world, she has always been an outsider, and she is subconsciously rejecting this world.

This uneasiness has always shrouded her heart, making her resist having too deep interactions with others, and her attitude has always been wavering.

It might not be a big deal in normal times, but now, it's a big problem.

She took a deep breath silently and decided to be honest.

"Yes... my ability can strengthen the body, dispel curses, and heal. It sounds like a very powerful ability, but it only lasts for ten minutes at most. Using it once in two days is quite reluctant..."

She felt a little guilty. After all, she had delayed confessing her ability to the team members until now, even if she was scolded a few times, she still admitted it...

Sean pondered for a while before slowly speaking: "Can even a fatal injury like mine be treated?"

"At least that's what it looks like..." Anji hesitated a little, and couldn't help but look elsewhere, "Because I'm not sure either... After your wound has almost recovered, I'll go and treat Barton too, otherwise

I'm afraid something will happen..."

Although she was penniless, in the eyes of the villagers, the three knights lying unconscious on the ground were worth a lot of money.

"Thank you."

Sean's voice of thanks came to his ears. Anji turned his escaping eyes back and smiled sheepishly under his sincere gaze.

Just as Sean smiled back, a muffled voice came from not far away:

"You know how to secretly whisper behind my back - this is already the second time!"

They were both startled at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Barton walking out from behind the wooden door, pouting, looking extremely aggrieved.

Anji looked at Barton who was walking towards them, and explained helplessly: "Isn't this because I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't want to disturb you..."

"Do you think I'm deaf? How could I not know there is something going on around me!" Barton pointed at her angrily, "I just want to know, if I don't take the initiative to speak out, when will you find me! And you're still sneaking around

You don't know how to explain your abilities to Sean, but you don't know how to tell me..."

Seeing his angry look, Anji laughed out loud and teased:

"Didn't you happen to overhear this? Let's make it even!"

"You, you, you!! This doesn't count! You have to say it formally to me again!"

Sean looked at them noisy with a complicated expression and couldn't help but sigh. He originally only came out to get some air because of insomnia, so why did it turn into a gathering of people chatting?

I even feel like my mind is getting clearer and clearer...

Realizing that both of his subordinates were unwilling to cooperate with his performance, Barton puffed up his cheeks angrily, walked to the corner with a "hum", squatted down and muttered in a low voice, and scribbled on the ground with his hands:

"Anji is a stingy person. Even though I have been guarding you for so long, you still want to avoid me and whisper. Sean is also a stingy person..."

Angie obviously felt hungrier after being made such a fuss. She asked Sean for some bread, sat down and ate while asking:

"Did you get those things from Berg?"

Upon hearing this, Sean tilted his head and gestured to Anji in the direction of Barton.

She understood, and gently approached the deputy leader who was sulking alone, squatted down next to him, and said with a smile:

"Dear, Deputy Captain Barton~"

Barton's hand scribbling on the ground paused, and he let out a soft hum. After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to forgive Angie and said:

"Okay, I have everything here... Now that you're awake, let's start distributing the spoils! Sean, come here too!"

Sean, who was standing not far away, heard the sound and came over. Seeing the two of them squatting, he also squatted down. At this time, the three people's heads came together, much like a scene of children playing house.

Barton took out a small, somewhat rusty black iron box from his pocket and opened it in front of them. Inside were piles of brass coins and silver coins, with rough human heads and cross patterns engraved on the front and back respectively. Under the moonlight

There is a faint metallic luster underneath.

While Angie was unconscious, he and Sean searched Berg's body and residence inside and out. In addition to the knife used by Berg and the small wooden box hidden in his arms that looked like treasures, they also found

I got these one hundred Hazetta copper coins and thirty Hazetta silver coins.

This is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary knight, and it is also a huge amount of money that ordinary families cannot easily afford.

Barton poured the coins onto the ground, divided them into two halves, and pushed the two piles of coins in front of Sean and Angie respectively.

"Then you two solved the problem of Berg, so I'll give you all the money!"

Anji looked at the mountain of coins, her eyes sparkling.

This money was her "first pot of gold" after she came to this world. Originally, food and accommodation were included in the castle, and it was not time to receive her salary yet, so Anji was penniless all the time, even the food she brought on the road.

They all came "shun" from Jeshir.

While excited, Anji turned her head to look at Barton and subconsciously asked: "What about you?"

Barton looked at Anji with a smile and said disapprovingly: "This deputy captain is not lacking in this."

Suddenly, Anji didn't seem so happy anymore...

After Sean collected the money on the ground, he looked at Barton and asked, "Don't you need to hand over these things?"

"Hey, let's just split up here. Who would know?"

Barton made a mysterious gesture in a low voice, and then smiled playfully, "As for the two collected treasures, they will be handed over to Lord Slade - of course, these will be in Angie's name."

Hand in. Do you have any opinions?"

Anji couldn't help but raise her hand to speak, but she was not sure whether people in this world could understand it, so she retracted her hand and looked at Barton cautiously:

"I have an opinion."

"Ah?" Barton was a little stunned and blinked a few times before he realized what he said, "What do you think?"

"I think there are too many treasures to hand over - Berg's knife and box, plus the small resistance test cube I carry, there are three in total! Can you let me keep one?"

Angie said "three" very carefully, and also used the word "leave one more" very carefully, because she had already acquiesced that Elijah was hers.

"Well... okay..." Barton nodded reluctantly, not noticing the contradiction in Anji's words, "For the sake of your outstanding performance this time, I will leave one for you!"

"Thank you thank you thank you!"

Anji thanked her six times happily, excitedly picked up Berg's small wooden box from Barton, and handed the small square measurer in her arms to Barton in exchange.
