Chapter VI Temporary Security
The mysterious man in the cemetery left in a hurry not long after, and Alan wanted to follow him to see if he could find any clues, but unfortunately, by the time he chased him out, the man had disappeared without a trace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shaking his head, he left the cemetery directly.
"Ding~ The host has not received the initial task reward, and the follow-up task [Innocent Truth] cannot be opened, please receive the reward as soon as possible!"
Such a mechanical prompt sounded in his ears in vain, causing Alan to pause, and then ignored it and took another step.
Out of the cemetery is a residential area, neat and orderly two- and three-story houses, a slightly dirty but not so unbearable bluestone pavement, and even a cyan tin garbage can can be seen every once in a while...
This world, controlled by the gods and the Holy See, has begun to have some modern flavor. It's like... Renaissance Europe in the past life?
Alan wasn't entirely sure about that, because he didn't know much about the history and culture of the planet. Moreover, the set of jailer armor he was wearing, which was clearly the opposite of his surroundings, was some kind of medieval style ...
The round moon hung diagonally in the night sky overhead, and there was great silence around it. Ignoring the sound of insects, Alan's footsteps were already the loudest sound around the neighborhood.
He decided to go to a safe place to claim his reward, and that safe place was not far from here.
It was a family...
It didn't take too long to walk, he turned around, and finally came to a small two-story building that was not much different from other residences, the neighborhood was not remote, and the main road to the city center was not far on the right, but after all, it was the middle of the night, and no one passed by there, and no one would notice Alan's arrival.
When I looked up through the glass window, I saw that it was already pitch black, and the people in the room must have fallen asleep.
Alan couldn't help but feel a little sorry, but other than that, he couldn't find a safe place to believe in himself.
"Bang bang bang!"
After three knocks in a row, the room reacted as quickly as he expected.
"Who is it?"
An old voice came from within, but the light in the room did not rise; I don't think he would have opened the door if he hadn't given the owner of the house a satisfactory answer.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, and Allen replied: "This tulip has withered a little, little master, can you help me get some water?" ”
After the sound fell, there was a slight silence in the room, and then there was a sound of fast-walking footsteps kicking, and it didn't take long for it to reach the ears.
"Click-"
The door in front of him opened from the inside, and with a faint creak, a person appeared in front of Allen's eyes.
It was an old man in pajamas, his eyes were round, looking at Allen's appearance, he was extremely excited: "Little master, you..."
"Let's go inside." Alan smiled at him, then looked back vigilantly, and after finding nothing unusual, he stepped into the residence.
With a soft sound, the old man closed the door, and then came to Allen, opened his mouth, and was about to ask a question.
"I escaped." Before he could ask, Alan had already said it first.
He trusted the old man to know what he was talking about. Because the notice about his arrest has been posted all over the street.
To be honest, he is not a big man, he does have a slight reputation in the city, but his identity is just the son of a baron nobleman, and he is not the heir to the title, normally, even if something happens, it will not have much impact.
But who made him provoke the most important families in the city?
Although the contradiction is not too big, the Joseph family will always be happy to spread the prestige and influence of the family. So Allen's arrest has been known to most of the people here, and the old man in front of him is naturally no exception.
The old man's name is Wiseman, and he used to be the butler of the Allen family, but he left there on his own initiative because of some things, and has been settling in Lotus City ever since.
Alan had a good relationship with the old man, and usually called him Grandpa Wiseman, and after deciding to find a safe place to dock first, he first thought of this place.
After briefly telling the old butler about what had happened to him in the past few days, Alan said, "I can't wear the clothes on my body openly, so I need some ordinary clothes." ”
After saying that, he added: "A hat is also essential." ”
"What are you going to do?" The old butler, with a gray cane that he had taken out of nowhere, sat opposite Allen and looked at him.
Alan had already planned it, so after being asked, he said without the slightest pause: "My father will arrive here the day after tomorrow, and before that, I must find evidence to prove my innocence, otherwise once the trial is confirmed, it will be troublesome to overturn the case." ”
"You're right." The old butler nodded slowly, but sighed again: "It's just that with Viscount Joseph's style of doing things, it's difficult to find evidence." ”
Seeing the old butler shaking his head with a heavy face, Allen's mood couldn't help but be low, but he knew that if he didn't even cheer himself up, he would really be powerless, and there was still a system...
Gritting his teeth, Allen said in a firm tone: "Even if it's difficult, I have to give it a try, it's better than waiting to be killed!" ”
Although he didn't know how much the system could help him, it gave Alan a chance to overcome this difficulty, so as not to make him too pessimistic.
And, how do you know you can't do it without trying?
The old housekeeper praised Allen's words, but he didn't have much hope that Allen could get out of trouble this time, and originally wanted to persuade Allen to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from prison, but seeing his determined look, the words that came to his mouth were swallowed by him unconsciously.
With some difficulty, the old butler walked to the second floor on crutches: "You wait here, I'll clean up the room for you." ”
He said everything, but started to get busy for Alan.
Alan glanced at the old man's back gratefully, but didn't say anything. He knew that with the relationship between the two, it would be very hurtful to say anything to thank him.
"If that hadn't happened, he would have been a butler of an earl's house by now, and a big brother...", shaking his head, Alan was a little sentimental.
Except for a few uncles, he has no other relatives on Earth, so he doesn't feel much missed for everything on Earth, but cares more about his current family.
In this world, Allen's parents are alive, there is a dull eldest brother who makes him everywhere, and a younger sister who is weak on the outside but very naughty on the inside. There are also a lot of other miscellaneous relatives, although the feelings are not very deep, but how to say it... It's still more missable.
"I don't know when I'll see them again." Alan muttered, suddenly laughing at himself.
It's not easy to see them, just drop everything you have and run to see them. But what's the use of that?
If he can't get rid of the false accusation, he will never be able to appear in front of them openly, although the system shows that his profession is called assassin, but he still has no interest in becoming a little mouse.
And...
"Forced X offender? That's the word I can't tolerate the most! Muttering to himself, the voice of the old housekeeper suddenly sounded on the second floor: "The room is cleaned up, it's in the third room on the second floor, little master, you come up first to rest and rest, I'll go get you some bath water." ”
"Okay, Grandpa Wiseman."
......
"Ding~ Quest rewards to be distributed!"
"Congratulations to the host for gaining 500 experience points, all injuries recovered, and the level increased to level 1, strength +1, constitution +1, agility +1."
"Congratulations to the host for getting an initial gift package, skill points +3, talent draw once, and transformation opportunity once!"
"Ding~ energy to prepare, may I ask if the host will start to transform immediately?"
......
A refreshing sensation came from all over the body, and all the injuries in the body slowly but surely continued to recover, and finally returned to normal, leaving no traces of injury at all.
What followed was a constant flow of energy in his body, making him feel as if he was a little stronger, but unfortunately, when this energy disappeared, that powerful sense of power also disappeared without a trace.
When I opened the properties panel, I saw that it read:
Name: Allen
Race: Human/???
Status: Trainee Knight/Son of a Noble (Prison Escapee)
Level: 1
Experience Points: -410
Health: 110/110 (Normal)
Attributes: Strength 14, Agility 8, Constitution 11, Spirit 19, Perception 14, Charisma 17

Achievement Mission: Inactive (Activation Level: 10)
Main Quest: [The Truth of Innocence]

There is one remaining chance to transform, will it start immediately?
......
When the level is increased to level 1, the experience point becomes -410, and if you want to get another 410 experience, you can level up again.
The first three attributes have all been added by 1 point, and the sense of power just now may be because of this, but the last three have not moved at all, and they don't know how to improve it.
The skill point column has changed from 0 to 3, and the talent column also shows that there is a chance to draw...
Why is the task still not activated?
"Didn't you say that it would be activated after you claimed the reward?" Half-leaning on the head of the bed, Alan looked at the attribute panel in front of him that only he could see, muttered, suddenly thought of something, and looked at the line written at the end: There is one remaining chance to transform, do you want to start immediately?
Do I still have to claim this thing in order to activate the quest?
So...
Get started now!
Under the rotation of his mind, Allen's whole body suddenly shook, and then a mysterious attraction suddenly came from the deepest part of his body, as if it was attracting all of him, making him feel that his muscles were tight and his skin was retracting!
At the same time, the mind that was very sober because of the upgrade unconsciously became extremely heavy at this time, accompanied by an irresistible vertigo, which made Allen's head stunned, and his eyes became darker and darker, and finally involuntarily, he collapsed on the bed and passed out!
The changes that took place within his body did not stop because of his coma, but instead there was a feeling of intensification. It was invisible to the naked eye, until, his appearance began to!
It's a miraculous change, and if Alan were to wake up now, he would find that this change is similar to some of the descriptions of nature that have been learned on Earth...
It's a change called cicada molting...
The cold moonlight shone on him along the glass window, reflecting Allen's appearance at this time, which looked strange and sacred.
