บท 259: Servant of the Axe - Knowing is Half

Chapter Type:  Character Development (System, Enchantment)

Half rations, as it turned out, was pretty close to 45 nutrition, which as anyone with a System knows, is not enough to keep an adult of my… needs… alive.  Whatever.  I was still better off inside the walls than I had been outside.

I had been expecting Kismet, or possibly Madonna, to come fetch me from the inn.  I hadn't been expecting Lian Zhi.  He scurried up to me, and engaged in a hasty bow.  I stood, and bowed appropriately.  I mean, at what I guessed was appropriate, my System was still down.

"Sergeant Meng Wa requests that you requisition new equipment and return to the wall immediately."

"Wounded!" I tried to say (forgetting I had no vocal cords), gladly turning to let him see… well, not much.  I mean, I'd lived with my scales all my life, I could tell where the wounds were.
