I saw a pack of Aggeloi chasing him and did not hesitate. But there were too many of them and things got a little hot.
I guess that's when Rusty swapped the clothing.
I didn't even know the name of the poor guy...
The last thing I remember was him taking off my outfit.
He is Jiang Zhenggou.
I only realized later that I saved a Stockader. Sometimes it's hard to tell the bandits apart from the good ones.
Regardless, the guy managed to reach a safe place. I thought he'd run for it, but ... he came back to help me.
I was bleeding all over the place, couldn't even tell where my wound was. He wasn't doing any better.
I collapsed to the ground and he kept shaking me to keep me awake. Told me that the Stockade turncoats were coming.
Stockade turncoats...
Why did he...? It's okay. I figured it out.
The Stockade turncoats were killing every Wulinger they see. The guy saved you.
He saved me.
Perhaps I was seeing things before I passed out. He wore my watchguard uniform and smiled before he left.
"Serenity Garden, Tianshi Jiang, merit stone"... He kept shouting these words over and over in my ears...
Oh. That's why you were mumbling these words when you were out. I was so confused...
Yeah. "Serenity Garden, Tianshi Jiang, merit stone"... These words kept appearing in my mind.
I was still in the cave when I woke up, but the guy was already gone. The battle in the city seemed to be over.
And in the Garden I found the merit stone with Jiang's name inscribed upon it, and left his clothes there.
It took the last bits of my strength. When I opened my eyes again ... I was in the Medical Clinic.
So this Jiang Zhenggou ... is he still alive?
...
I hope you have your answers. Visiting hours are almost over. Please let the patient rest.
Look after yourself. We're leaving for now.
I felt incredibly dizzy. I used the words to guide me and made my way to Serenity Garden.
