Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 689 The Way In

The man stood there observing Dame for a while, placing his hand on his chin while looking him up and down. Once in a while, he made questionable faces that made Dame feel worse about his condition, and not wanting to know about it as well.

In order to distract himself and the man in question, he started to ask his own questions.

"From the way you're speaking with me, someone sent you. Was it that Vice Principal? I think he said something about being in that particular group as well," Dame said.

He remembered the conversations vaguely, but so much information was loosely spoken about here and there, Dame never even had much time to find out the finer details about things.

"You're right," the man said as he reached into a pouch that was strapped around his waist. It was brown in color, made out of leather, and fairly worn. It didn't take him long to pull out a few round-looking Qi pills.

"The Vice Principal you are talking about is part of the Bonum Society as well. He seems to have taken a liking to you and told me to come here, saying that you might be alive. He said it was a fifty-fifty chance, but I would say more like ninety-ten, with a ninety percent chance that you would be dead, judging by things."

The man then knelt down and placed the Qi pill into Dame's mouth. Dame wasn't going to deny the pill, even though he didn't know who this stranger was. He could tell, if the stranger was going to poison him, at least it would be a quicker death.

Without the pill, he would most likely die as well. So out of death, death, and a chance of survival, he was going to take the latter. After consuming the pill, he realized it was just an ordinary Qi pill.

Energy had restored to his dantian, and he could start using it to power his cells in his body, speeding up the natural healing process, but it wasn't as good as the Dark Magus's pills. Perhaps Dame had now gotten too used to them.

"You're a lucky man, you've broken a lot of bones, torn some ligaments as well, but the fractures, like those on your ribs, haven't pierced any of your internal organs. You don't have a lot of internal bleeding, at least not that which is too dangerous. Which is why, despite you being here for so long, you're still alive," the man explained.

Although Dame could feel his body more now, and it was healing, he didn't think just a Qi pill was going to cut it. Not unless he wanted to take several months to heal.

"The Bonum Society you are talking about, what do you mean I'm going to be a part of it? What even are you guys, and what are you trying to do?" Dame asked.

The man wagged his finger in the air.

"Think about it this way, the fact that you don't really know about our society means that we're doing a good job. If I was to tell you everything, well, that's how I would lose my job."

It was clear by the conversation that the man wouldn't say much, either because of his duty or other reasons, so Dame wouldn't pry into it much, at least not now as this person was trying to save him.

While Dame was lying on the ground using his Qi to restore his body, the man popped another Qi pill into his mouth, having the same effect as before. After that, he started to wrap certain bandages around Dame's body.

In the position Dame was in, he couldn't see much, but he kept hearing a strange spitting noise each time before his body would be bandaged.

'He can't be spitting on the bandages each time he's wrapping them up, right?' Dame thought. 'I… I'll just have to imagine it's something else… why couldn't a beauty come and save me instead of this man… not that I am ungrateful, but it appears I haven't had much luck these days.'

Dame was thinking back to the effect of the gauntlets, which was why he hadn't had much, or if any, time to play at all.

After the bandages had proactively been wrapped up in nearly every part of Dame's body where he could feel something, the pain was diminishing. The areas that had been wrapped were heating up, but they felt good; they felt better, and it was then that he could start to move his entire body.

Lifting himself up, he slowly stood in the mist area. His body didn't seem to be too badly damaged. He still found it hard to stand, but going from thinking he might never move again to this was short of a miracle in his eyes.

"What did you do to these bandages?" Dame asked.

"Hey hey hey," the man quickly said, pointing to the bandages. "Don't take those things off. You were badly hurt, so they need to be left on for a while. You can at least move for now though."

Dame was still amazed he hadn't heard of such physicians doing things, and this wasn't like the Qi pills or the strange magic that Raze would use. This felt different from all of that.

"Your name," Dame said. "I would like to at least thank the person who helped me by your name."

"My name?" The man pointed at himself. "I'm called Chip, so you can say thank you, Chip."

"Thank you, Chip," Dame said wholeheartedly but was unable to bow properly due to his position. When he raised his head, he looked up at the cliff. Still wondering what had gone on, and just how long had he been on the floor for.

"What are you doing, are you going to follow?" Chip said, having moved only slightly ahead into the mist, but he could still be seen.

"Follow you?" Dame asked.

"Yeah, or do you really want to stay out here and just wait for something to happen, or for them to jump down and finish the job?" Chip replied.

Dame knew he was right, so he picked up his feet and started to follow.

"So where are we going?" Dame asked. "Where do you plan on taking me?"

"I told you when we first met, didn't I?" Chip replied. "We're heading to the Bonum Society to make you one of us."
