Chapter 5: Will the Result Be ......?
"Do you know the situation?" asked Add, with a calm face,
"How is it possible for Heini Town to send dozens of people to arrest two fugitives, and even let Qiantang Village in the west join in the interception?"
"I don't know that very well...... knight stood up at Add's motion,
"The baron just said that it was important to capture you and the old man, and did not specify the specific identity. ”
This baron seems to be a bit tricky...... Add's brow twitched;
If you can, you shouldn't tell anyone who you are, but now......
"Listen up, knight...... Your name is Iron Gun, right?" Eddie could only try to fix the hole.
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"You'll go to Black Mud and report to him later?"
"As Your Majesty said. ”
"So, tell him that I'm not a fugitive, but a declining nobleman......"
Seventy-four years ago, the Baron de Ryler family lost its territory, and now few people know about it, so I suggest you use this name. 】
"It is said that he is the illegitimate son of the Ryler family, and he is on the run because of debts. Eddie thanked Heath in his heart.
"Yes, Your Majesty—"
"Call me young master. Add frowned and waved his hand, he would be in trouble if he accidentally said something that slipped out.
"Yes, young master. ”
The knight's facial muscles were still quite tense, and even his legs were shaking slightly;
It's like a kid who lies for the first time......
"Be calm...... Remember, don't reveal my identity. ”
Eddie said, walking toward the other side of the road, the knight following him, his face quite serious;
The latter is well aware of what should be done now.
"This time it was an intelligence mistake. The knight walked up to the soldiers and said in a deep voice,
"This is not a fugitive, a descendant of the House of Ryler;
He was misunderstood by Baron "Blue Wolf" because of some things, and I will explain it to Lord Blue Wolf in person.
There's no need to set up any more roadblocks, now follow me to escort the "Witch" to town and go!"
"Yes——!" the soldiers began to murmur after they had reconciled:
"This ...... What's going on, that crazy ...... Ahem, nobleman, what the hell did you say?"
"Then who knows! Don't you see that the knights are all respectful!"
"Let's be careful......"
There was a lot of awe in the soldiers' eyes as they looked at Eddie;
After all, the aristocracy had the power to kill the commoners, and the latter was nothing more than a "resource" in the eyes of the former.
"Gray Wrist, that's it. Eddie walked over to the staring old minister and said, "Go on?"
The old minister looked at Eddie, and then at the group of obedient and presumptuous soldiers, and was stunned for a while before speaking:
"This ...... Young Master, you ...... How did you do that?"
"Oh, a little trick, a few words. Eddie shrugged, "Let's go~"
It is indeed "a few words" that solves the problem, and as for the existence of Heathtime......
It's good to know it yourself.
Graywrist looked at Eddie, who didn't care at all, and his nose became sour again.
Knights, although they are the lowest nobles, how can they be solved with a bland "few words"?
What kind of subtle words did Your Majesty use in the woods?
Deterrence, inducement, what kind of promises have been made, and what kind of barriers have been broken?
What's more, His Majesty changed that knight's outlook on life with just a few words?
Otherwise, why did the knight's attitude change so much?
Sky...... Oh my God, your majesty...... The gray-wristed nose shuddered violently, and then quickly followed.
[Sensing a change in the world line, causal point +100.] 】
Well, if this system wants to have more functions, it has to expand the space with causal points......?
It just so happens that there should be a relatively long time to study after getting out of trouble.
Eddie thought as he walked to the west of Luka, escorted by the soldiers.
He looked over there: except for a few soldiers, the girl was tied with ropes;
As mentioned earlier, Iron Spear seems to be the "Magic Queen...... So what?
"Heathim, what's 'Maggie'?"
[Your Majesty...... To put it simply, it is a girl who has gained special abilities after being "radiated";
And in more detail...... It's a long story, but let me explain it for you.
In this world, all kinds of machines fall from the sky like meteorites from time to time;
They are called "extinguishers", and it is difficult for them to be harmed by either magic or knives and guns;
These machines will go crazy destroying nearby buildings, killing people and animals;
And when the energy inside them is exhausted, they will release a strong "radiation" in a specific direction.
Persons over the age of thirty who are hit by this ray will die within a few breaths.
Younger women are less affected;
At this age, a girl will not only not die on the spot, but can even gain wonderful "abilities";
Unlike the "crystal nucleus" in this world, which is the main combat force, these abilities are unique to them;
It's just that after becoming a magic queen, the life span of the girls will be greatly shortened;
Hardly anyone makes it to the age of thirty;
Moreover, their bodies will also become "radiation sources";
If you live with them for a long time, your lifespan will be greatly shortened;
Unless someone is willing to "make a contract" with Maggee, the source of radiation will always exist. 】
I see...... Eddie nodded, so, that little girl is quite dangerous?
Judging from the body shape, it should be about the same age as my own side, a little far away, and there is a black cloth bag on his head, which is not real.
[After the "Witch Queen" is discovered, it will be sent to the "Purification Temple" by the nobles and taken care of in a centralized manner;
It was an organization distributed throughout the continent, and the whole was dominated by Qing cultivation, and the living conditions were quite difficult. 】
Hmm, that's right.
Eddie thought so, and looked at the girl twice—after all, he had given people to ...... before Cough.
Think of something else! like that radiation ......
Radiation?
Eddie suddenly remembered that the old minister had said before...... Yourself also irradiated?
[Your Majesty, I would like to remind you of one thing. 】
Before Add could speak, Heath began to explain—
[Three months ago, you were exposed to radiation head-on through your body due to your proximity to the extinguishing weapon......]
"Heathtim, you didn't say what would happen to the young man when he was irradiated!?"
Add was nervous and a little excited, could it be that the special ability was also ......
【...... Your Majesty, men, whether they are old or young, generally do not gain special abilities after being exposed to radiation. 】
After hearing this, Eddie felt like he had been splashed with ice water—a pity;
However, Heathtime's subsequent words made Add feel like he had suffered an avalanche—
[All males are basically ...... after being exposed to radiation.
Don't live more than half a year. 】
