Chapter 485: Mary’s Secret Agent! Redeem a life, belong to a lifetime!
The sky was overcast and the air was hot and humid, which was a sign of heavy rain.

However, the temple is still bustling with people, and every path between the ancient buildings is as busy as usual. Countless priests in gray dresses are sowing seeds, feeding chickens, and educating children…

That kind of vibrant and upbeat temperament instantly swept away the gloom and restlessness brought about by the dark clouds and sultry atmosphere.

The Temple of Meliteli had already anticipated the situation after their return. Not long after they walked out of the remote back mountain, Lisa and several priests came to greet them.

After briefly checking the injuries of Bonte, Big Iron Shield and Fury, they took over the three injured.

While the old doctor was treating Big Iron Shield and Fury’s injuries, Lysa nervously looked around Arryn for a long time. When she didn’t see any injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Evans, who looked confused, strangely and said:
“Alin, who is he?”

“Don’t worry about him.” Ailin said, “Lysa, we left in a hurry yesterday. I don’t know how Zeus’s injury is?”

“Xius’s surgery yesterday went smoothly. The high priest said that he will be able to wake up today.”

“That’s good.”

Although they had expected this, when they heard the good news that Zeus was fine, Aylin and the other witchers all put down their worries.

Dante glanced at Lisa, whispered a few words to Vesemir beside him, and his expression suddenly became serious.

“Is it Lysa?” He suddenly looked at the little priest. “I heard from Arlin and Vesemir that if it weren’t for you, Zeus would…”

Dante paused, closed his eyes, and said solemnly:
“I, Dante, owe you a favor.”

Seeing Dante like this, Lisa waved her hands quickly and said, “No, no, I was just lucky and happened to meet him. If not, I would have someone else to save Zeus…”

Dante shook his head: “That’s not the case…”

“Alright, Dante,” Vesemir interrupted the argument, “We are all family, just remember it in your heart, if you care too much, it will become alienated.”

“Family?” Danti was stunned.

Acquaintances, our own people, our family members…the words used are different depending on the closeness of the relationship.

He looked at the smirk on Vesemir’s face, and saw that Lysa didn’t say anything but lowered her head, with the half of her face facing him flushed. He immediately realized something and looked at the center of the attention of all the young witchers except Fred – Arryn.

“Ah… so that’s how it is.” Dante’s tone lengthened, and he also teased and said meaningfully, “Then there’s really no need to be so distant.”

Erni, Klar and the others also started to cheer “Oh oh oh” like a group of geese.

“Everyone, be quiet!” Ailin said, “The doctors are still treating the wounded…”

He hasn’t finished speaking yet…

“It’s okay, it doesn’t affect you, just continue!”

The old lady in front of Fu Li turned around with a smile, and the wrinkles on her face were watching the show.

The other two priests also nodded and echoed: “That’s right, it has no impact, no impact!”

Ailin’s tone froze after being interrupted. Looking at their movements, they were so skilled that they could do it even with their eyes closed.

Before he could figure out how to stop this “riot”.

“Of course we are family, Master Dante, no need to be so polite…” Lisa suddenly raised her head and joined the battlefield.

Ailin turned around sharply and looked over.

The little priest lowered his eyes awkwardly with an uneasy smile on his face.

When Ailin looked over, the little priest blinked at him, as if to reassure him, and then continued:
“My life was saved by Arlin, and it was Lady Vera who sent me to the temple. We are of course family, so let’s not talk about whether we owe each other a favor or not.”

“otherwise……”

“How can I repay you for saving my life?”

There was silence for a few seconds, and then some clueless demon hunter suddenly said:
“Redeem one life, belong to a lifetime?”

This is the most common sentence in the classic hero-rescue-beauty plot in the popular knight novels in the northern continent.

The little priest, who had just mustered up the courage to help Ailin out of trouble, subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Ailin. After realizing the meaning of “redeeming a life, belonging for a lifetime”, he let out an “ah” and suddenly lowered his head, as if he wanted to lower his head to the ground.

“Alright, alright, let’s get down to business,” Ailin glared at Clay who was hiding in the crowd. “Lysa, is Sister Ianna in the temple now? We need to talk to her about something.”

“The high priest is in the reception room.”

Lisa pretended nothing happened, but the blush on her snow-white neck betrayed her.

However, Vesemir and Dante were both experienced people, and they naturally knew that this was the limit. If they continued teasing, something bad would probably happen, so they did not expose it.

“Reception room? Are there guests coming to the temple?” Ailin was stunned.

“Lady Tissaia de Vries of Aretuza,” Lysa said. “She came here suddenly not long before you arrived. The high priest and Nenneke are receiving her.”

“Do you know what it is?”

“I’m not sure,” Lisa shook her head, “Ms. Tissaia de Vries had just arrived when the good girl flew down from the sky. The high priest asked me to bring someone to pick you up.”

“Shall I ask now?”

“No need.” Arryn and Vesemir looked at each other, thinking that the spies sent to Aedirn by Tissaia de Vresse might have some news.

But it was better that Tissaia de Vris was in the temple, so that they didn’t have to make another trip to the Duke’s Castle in Elland to show their sincerity.

After thinking for a while, Vesemir said, “Then I’ll leave Bonte, Big Iron Shield, and Fury in your care…”

The words have not yet fallen.

Suddenly, Nenneke walked onto the path not far away.

“Erin, Vesemir, come with me…who is this?” Nenneke’s gaze stayed on Evans for a moment, then fell on Dante.

“Dante, the Master Demon Hunter of the Wolf School.” Vesemir introduced briefly.

Nenneke and Dante exchanged a curt greeting.

“Ms. Nenneke, is it the high priest who is looking for us?” Ailin asked.

“No,” Nenneke shook her head. “It’s Tissaia de Vris of Aretuza. She wants to speak to you.”

Arryn and Vesemir were stunned and looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, Tissaya de Vris, who was just talking about it, was also looking for them at this moment.

but……

What could Tissaia de Vries need from them?

“Masters Aelin, Vesemir, and Dante, you guys go now,” Lysa said, “Leave this to me, Gisela, and Lady Elaine.”

“sorry to bother you!”

Arryn nodded, left a group of young witchers to help, and then he, Vesemir, Dante, and Nenneke walked towards the gate.

“Still looking, Nizi? He’s already gone far away!”

The sound behind her startled Lisa. She turned around and saw Gisela looking at her mischievously. The other young witchers were glancing at her and whispering.

“Why don’t you follow if you’re so reluctant?”

“Why would I be reluctant?!” Lisa turned her gaze away from the deserted path, “Besides, I still want to help you!”

“Help with what?” Elaine shook her head in amusement. “Gisela, what do you think we need Lisa to help with? Change the bandages, stop the bleeding, carry the herbs, or pray for divine power?” Gisela laughed at Elaine’s words. She laughed for a long time before she calmed down and listed them one by one in a serious manner:

“Changing the bandages and stopping the bleeding shouldn’t be necessary, the two of us are enough. We have those good guys to carry the herbs, so it shouldn’t be necessary. As for divine arts, I’m afraid Lisa can’t even talk about that. It’s hard for her to heal some minor injuries…”

“Oh—I figured it out?” Gisela deliberately dragged out her tone. “It is indeed useful for Lisa to stay. She is irreplaceable and of great use!”

“What did you think of? What great use will it be?” Elaine also pretended to be cooperative.

Gisela’s eyes narrowed with smiles: “Of course, it’s for our great hero, Ser Arryn, to supervise us two old ladies!”

“Aunt Gisela! Aunt Elaine!”

When Lisa heard this, her mouth puffed up like a goldfish with anger. Her pearly teeth bit her lower lip into a white crescent mark, and she stomped her feet on the spot angrily several times.

“Okay, okay, I won’t say any more! I won’t say any more!”

Lisa’s voice had no killing power, but Gisela and Elaine still smiled and begged for mercy.

Joking for a while.

“Okay,” Gisela waved. “Didn’t you ask me how to sew up a wedge-shaped wound?”

“Come and see, I will teach you how to sew up the wound.”

Faced with the temptation, Lisa could only helplessly and obediently walk over and squat beside Gisela.

“Wedge-shaped trauma is a common trauma… um… it is also one of the most common types of wounds among demon hunters…”

“Aunt Gisela!” Lisa scolded.

“Okay, I’m reminding you. Let’s get back to the point,” Gisela smiled kindly. “Because the incision is too large, the suturing method after debridement and disinfection will greatly affect the subsequent recovery effect. You should watch it now.”

“The fine needle should be placed on the inner side of the gold thread, with a small section outside, and then passed through like this… and then like this…”

“You have to be accurate, quick, and ruthless. Don’t worry about causing harm, so as to avoid secondary harm and have a good result…”

Elaine was also there to give some pointers on techniques and fill in some gaps.

After a long while, when Lisa understood, Gisela found another wound on Fury’s body and instructed her to sew it herself.

“That’s right.” Gisela nodded repeatedly.

Lisa wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the somewhat immature but fairly neat lines of her wound with satisfaction. She was about to ask what to do next.

“Liesa,” Gisela suddenly whispered in her ear, “When you sew, you have to be precise, quick, and ruthless. Mammy will tell you that you have to do this no matter what you do…”

Lisa was stunned and turned her head, and saw that Gisela’s eyes were not teasing or mocking, but extremely serious and earnest.

“Mother Gisela?”

Gisela took off her gloves and gently stroked Lisa’s hair.

“Especially feelings, Lysa.”

“Once you have chosen a wound you want to sew up, you cannot be distracted by other wounds. If you hesitate and dare not sew it up in one go, the wound will bleed and become difficult to heal. Then someone with more experience, who is more accurate, faster, and more ruthless than you, will take your place.”

“Liesa,” Gisela’s old eyes gazed into hers, piercing her heart. “Do you wish to be replaced?”

Do I…want to be replaced?

Lisa stared at the wound that had just been sutured, and a blonde girl flashed through her mind.

She and he were in the square, gazing into each other’s eyes and dancing in each other’s arms.

Amid the cheers and blessings of the crowd, they put on crowns and wreaths and paraded on floats…

How many times…

How many times had she dreamed of this, imagining that “she” was herself, Lysa cheering, hugging, dancing, and kissing Arryn…

She even dreamed countless times of that body temperature that was so hot that it seemed to melt her.

But after waking up, she was alone and with her own warmth.

“But…but I wasn’t the first one to pick out the wound…” Lisa avoided Gisela’s gaze. “Is this…is this okay?”

Wasn’t it Lisa who came first?
Gisela was stunned for a moment, secretly cursing the lucky brat, and asked carefully, “Are they confirmed to be in a relationship?”

Lisa thought about it and shook her head: “Probably not…”

After a pause of one second, she added helplessly, “Ai… Ailin doesn’t know why, but now I don’t seem to have… I don’t have that idea…”

A wolf school demon hunter doesn’t have that kind of thought?
you sure?
Gisela was silent for a few seconds before she said, “That’s fine. Since we haven’t confirmed the relationship, it doesn’t violate the lady’s teachings.”

“Leisa, it doesn’t matter who comes first, what matters is who can make it to the end…”

“And now that you have competitors, you should take the initiative!”

“Again……”

“Do you wish to be replaced?”

“No! Absolutely not!” Lisa answered firmly.

Thinking about what would happen, my heart felt as if there was a huge, cold block of iron blocking it, making it so heavy that I could hardly breathe.

“That’s right.”

Gisela and Elaine looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

Nearby, Evans, Klar and a group of young demon hunters pricked up their ears but pretended not to hear anything. They looked at each other with complicated expressions, so complicated that they even formed a conversation out of thin air. The content was probably…

“What should I do? Miss Mary’s house is about to be robbed!”

“Ah~ Why is Miss Mary so stubborn that she insists on staying in Kaer Morhen? Wouldn’t it be fine if we come together?”

“I think Priest Lysa is actually pretty good. She saved Zeus, is pretty, gentle, and knows medical skills and divine magic…”

“Kral, you traitor!”*6
“Priest Lysa is certainly good, but have you forgotten what Miss Mary did to us? She saved us from Master Aristo so many times!”

“Wait! Why do you have to choose just one? I see that the nobles all have lovers, and the captain is also a noble now, so can’t the captain take them all?”

The syllogism is logically clear and thorough.

The conversation of expressions fell silent at this moment.

“This… this seems like a good idea! But after we go back, we still have to tell Miss Mary!”

“That’s right! Loyalty!”

“Loyalty”*6
……

Lisa herself was unaware at this moment that there were seven spies of her rival around her, ready to inform on her.

She bit her lower lip, and the words “Redeeming a life, belonging to a lifetime!” echoed in her heart.

yes……

Since he saved my life, he has been my lifelong partner.

I am the one who came first!
