Wildfire Town.
On the street outside the Living People Cemetery.
"Hey, Aiken!"
A magic apprentice cheerfully patted his companion on the shoulder, "It's rare to have a chance to get out of the lab, aren't you going to enjoy yourself?"
The apprentice named Aiken grinned: "Aren't I looking for fun right now?"
He looked towards the Living People Cemetery not far away.
"You mean... An Ya? Haha, think it through, the residents of the Living People Cemetery are all tough! Before they got sick, they were real tough nuts among the commoners, otherwise, they wouldn't have lasted this long."
"So?" Aiken showed a puzzled expression, "You also said that was before they got sick. Besides, commoners are commoners, what are the tough nuts among commoners to people like us?"
"True enough. So... together?"
"Suit yourself."
"Damn, Aiken, you're still so indifferent, then I won't hold back."
"I told you, do whatever."
The magic apprentice named Aiken, or rather the thug, lazily stepped up to the gate of the Living People Cemetery.
Feeling a bit strange: The Living People Cemetery is quite quiet today.
It contrasted sharply with the chaos on the streets and in the town.
But he didn't think much about it.
As he had said before, ordinary people are fundamentally different from professionals.
Not to mention the residents in this cemetery are all sick, even if they weren't, what could they do? Hmph.
Aiken grinned, pushing aside the vague unease in his heart.
With a kick, he pushed the cemetery gate open and strode in.
...
...
In a temporary camp, inside a tent.
The riot noises from the town were getting louder.
Inside the tent, however, it became completely quiet.
Andrew had already finished eating.
The newest fire extinction plan was roughly formed in his mind.
"Then I'll ask Aunt Sofia, ask her to look after Barbara with little Sophie for a while." Andrew thought.
What Andrew didn't know was that Aunt Sofia also wanted to ask, "Who is this girl?"
She had already recognized the Warm Fire Commerce Association emblem on Barbara's clothes, and that was why she had held back until now.
However, neither of them asked.
Suddenly, little Sophie, who had been silent since entering the tent, spoke, "Andrew brother, how did you get hurt?"
After being saved by Andrew, little Sophie had a strong dependence on him.
Since Andrew entered the tent, the little girl stuck to Andrew like a tail, hardly even looking at Barbara.
At this moment, little Sophie was staring at Andrew's left forearm—
There was a burn on the oblique side of the arm.
Andrew was injured.
This injury wasn't there when he decided to carry Barbara back to the camp.
It was a new injury sustained on the way back!
Besides the burn, there seemed to be some very strange corrosive injuries.
They looked very shocking.
Little Sophie was dumbfounded for a moment upon seeing the injury, her eyes suddenly reddened: "Who on earth hurt Andrew brother again?"
Her big eyes quickly filled with tears, she was so angry she was about to cry!
Andrew was taken aback by this sight.
Thinking that the prerequisite for his plan was to have Barbara temporarily settled here without being discovered.
However, if little Sophie started crying and drew everyone's attention, the upcoming fire extinction plan would fall apart before it even started!
So he quickly comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, just a small injury, don't cry little Sophie."
But right now, little Sophie wasn't buying it?
"Boohoo, Andrew brother is lying!
Boohoo, such a serious injury! How can it be a small injury? How can it be okay?
Boohoo, is what Grand Mage Humboldt said true? Andrew brother are you really going to die in a few days?! Boohoo——!"
This girl is fine in every way, except once she starts crying, there's no stopping her, you can't pull her back.
As Sophie's mother, Aunt Sofia sometimes wondered: why does this girl have so much energy when she cries?
You must know, in this Inner Sea Desert, crying requires energy too, and with the air so dry, crying often would make you sick.
However, it seems like from a young age, no matter when she starts crying, little Sophie never stops, and once she finally stops, she immediately becomes lively again.
She has this sense of super vigorous vitality.
In short, once little Sophie starts crying, even several carts of horses couldn't pull her back.
But this time, as little Sophie cried, she gradually stopped on her own.
With wide eyes, she looked at Andrew's arm.
She saw that the wounds on Andrew's arm were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Andrew knew comforting was useless; it would only have the opposite effect.
So he didn't waste his breath.
He used "water magic power" to activate the "Water Spirit Technique," healing the arm injury as he did the lung burn.
Moreover, Andrew also activated the powerful self-healing power inherent in the "Water Soul Constitution."
This is also a benefit and enhancement brought by the Water Soul Constitution.
It can multiply the effectiveness of any healing magic, including the "Water Spirit Technique," on himself!
"This... is amazing!"
Little Sophie couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
Compared to the morning magic Andrew performed that made grapes sweeter, this magic, which turns burns and rotten flesh into new skin, was much more straightforward!
Watching this scene, little Sophie quickly thought: "If Andrew brother can heal the burn on his arm, then he can also heal the lung burns, right? So Andrew brother wasn't lying to me? He really won't die like Grand Mage Humboldt prophesied?"
