The one that they were operating on was the knight that had been a part of the shield wall.
Seeing the mushrooms that were growing from his shoulder, this knight revealed a bitter smile and said, "It seems that my time has come. I thought that I was careful enough, but now it seems that I was just fooling myself."
He turned to the others and said, "Give me some alcohol for the pain and put me out of my misery. I trust that you will all take care of my family after this."
Everyone around him had conflicted looks when they heard this.
On one hand, they didn't want to see him suffering in pain like this, but on the other hand…they really couldn't think of a way to cure this.
As many of them seemed like they were going to give up hope, there was one that didn't have the same look of despair as everyone else.
