Chapter 3: The Red Moon and the Rotten Moon
It seems that this kind-hearted former owner took care of Ofiichher himself while he was unconscious.
The drowsiness of his head improved with a period of rest, and when Bai Taiyang in Ou Fei Yi's heart closed his eyes, he carefully examined the detailed details attached to the old god's bloodline system, and found that the effects, cycles, and side effects of the original use of the capture ability obtained from the Ganimide bloodline were all mentioned in the details.
He can only successfully capture the same person once in a year, and after each exertion of his ability, there will be a period of about ten minutes of source energy intake, and a ten hour period of source energy digestion, the former requiring him to carefully measure whether his body can withstand the increase in source power, and the latter is to permanently take this source energy into his possession.
The surge of strength and physical exhaustion that Bai Taeyang experienced were due to these side effects.
He sat up and was about to speak, when the gray-haired man entered.
Now Bai Taiyang knows that this person has no surname and is named Luca, and he is one of the two butlers of the former Goslar family, who is still willing to stay and serve their family with a meager salary, and has a little combat ability as a former member of the guard.
Luca's voice was gloomy: "With such a hidden skill, it's no wonder that you said that you haven't found another customer, but you are in a hurry to say that you want to leave." ”
"Okay Luca, O-Fei no longer has any duties, but instead of running away by himself, he stayed behind to defeat those monsters and save our lives, we have to thank him. Charlotte defended him.
Lukka sighed, taking his sharp gaze away from Ofiicher.
Bai Taiyang understood the other party's annoyance. According to Ofeyche's memory, this butler was in the turbulent world for the first half of his life, and was recruited to the Goslar family's escort team ten years ago, and was specially promoted to the position of steward because of his good swordsmanship, good insight and passable communication skills, and was responsible for dealing with the garrisons, armories, craftsmen, stables and other guys in the territory, and sorting out the services or goods that have a relationship with the Goslar family and require a certain amount of professional knowledge for identification and identification.
At that time, Charlotte's contemporaries, one elder brother lived in the non-commissioned officer academy for further study, the other elder brother lived in a mansion next to the silver mine all the year round to take care of mineral affairs, and another sister went to the seminary. Luca, who became the butler, made a great contribution to the Goslar family, not only collecting Goslar's trust in him, but also gradually developing some feelings of loyalty to the family.
But Ofeicher, like Lukata, is not just a simple employment relationship, but also a great favor who was rescued in the quagmire of life from the perspective of experience, but when he is in danger, he indifferently plans to pat his ass and leave, not only that, but also has a deep hand that is not inferior to Luca.
In Luca's eyes, Ofiicher was disloyal and scheming, and it was surprising that he did not resent him.
Fortunately, Charlotte cut off Luka's interrogation directly at the beginning, otherwise Bai Taiyang would really be a little crying, laughing and speechless.
The housekeeper, who was loyal to the Goslar family, was dressed in an old but well-maintained garment, with a dark green imitation linen pullover on top of which a cow-leather waistcoat and a thin gray cotton coat were added.
Since the master did not delve into it, he also threw away the rebuke that was full of rebukes and threw out more urgent words:
"Miss, the situation seems to be very serious, and it may even affect Chahe Town. It's time for you to get some rest. Even those maids don't want to take care of him, why should you be so kind to this ungrateful man. ”
"I'm fine, please tell me what you learned. Charlotte said.
"Understood. First of all, Mr. Fein happened to go out a few days ago, and according to the Chamber of Commerce, it seems that he had gone to the southwest to discuss business with herbs, and should be back in two or three days. Again, the church claims that it has not been corrupted by the Kuroshio. Luca paused, "It means that the situation is more serious." ”
"Why do you say that?" asked Charlotte.
"I am afraid that this means that the monsters went deep into the small village where we rested last night, not because of a chance encounter in the nearby corrupted area, but because of something deliberate, as I thought. ”
Charlotte put a hand to her face to hide her slightly open lips in surprise, "Why, why do you do such a thing?" ”
Lucka's next words seemed unsure of his own uncertainty: "Your father, the Marquis, has been unjustly imprisoned for a while, but there is room for reversal. Since those sinister and vicious fellows will design and frame the Marquis, I am afraid that they will not hesitate to use all kinds of hidden and evil forces to achieve their tricks. I have heard that Mr. Finn is involved in these evil forces, and is an independent researcher who does not obey orders and serves the church. The Marquis has made you travel all the way to join Mr. Finn, probably for his help and protection. ”
Bai Taiyang, who had been listening to it for a long time, couldn't help but get out of bed and stretch: "So, those green skins came for Miss Charlotte last night." And we don't know the details of the other side now, and we don't know how to protect ourselves. Is that the case?"
“... Indeed it is. Lukka admits unhappily, "In the past, the territory had its own clergy, witchers, explorers and other experts to call in, and no matter how bad it was, it would have been possible to send garrisons and hire mercenaries to defend against these evil forces." But now, when I go to my local church and ask for temporary shelter for a day or two, I am unjustifiably kicked out. ”
"If you don't mind, I can continue to serve you. Bai Taiyang controlled Ofe Yiche's face and smiled, reaching out to wipe the tip of his nose, "No matter what, I don't want to lose a bad reputation for escaping from an unfortunate employer. ”
Charlotte's eyes lit up when she looked at Ofi Yiche: "I don't mind, then there is Lao Ofei." ”
In addition to the guilt and apology that may be caused by the spirit of contemporary people, Bai Taiyang also has his own little abacus-
Although Lukka is not an expert in dealing with all kinds of evil forces, but he is far better than ordinary guards in terms of combat, and he is a good hand in Ophi Yiche's cognition, the enemy is mainly towards Charlotte, they are the main target of the enemy, and now he has 20 points of source power, not to mention whether he can tear all kinds of monsters such as half-orcs, but at least the situation is not a problem for himself to run away.
Moreover, in a world full of many inexplicable and hidden dangers that most people can understand, Bai Taiyang's first duty is, of course, to use the [Old God Bloodline System] as soon as possible to improve his combat strength to the point where he will not be killed at will like a dog. Someone stands in the way during the war and takes care of himself when he is resting, and of course he will not let go of this opportunity to harvest source energy from monsters again.
Baek Taeyang asked Luca for a little money, and ran around the town's blacksmith and pawn shop to find himself a second-hand sheathed dagger that even he could wield with ease.
He tried to wrap the short sword in his hand tightly with the source qi, and found that this method was more difficult than he imagined. It's not hard to work, but I feel that there is a difficult technique of knotting cherry stems with my tongue. But he easily used the second-hand dagger to chop a few handfuls of wood for the tavern kitchen where they were resting, and went back to his room satisfied.
After dinner, he lay on the bed half-squinting, while looking at the system interface repeatedly, while trying to contact the female voice that once appeared in the sea of knowledge, and unconsciously took a break in a daze.
When he opened his eyes again, a terrifying feeling that was inexplicable and inexplicable, and the variegated light that swayed into the whole room from the window seeped into Bai Taiyang's bones.
In the half-dim room, the Luca who lived with him was no longer there, but he always felt that something was looking at Bai Taiyang, and there seemed to be something hidden under the towel and clothes that were hung up by the wind.
He licked his dry lips and fumbled for a while before he found the dagger at his feet, and then got out of bed and walked towards the window.
There was a faint sound of dripping water from nowhere, and the room was squeaking out of thin air for some reason. He stepped into the light, a bleak green planet so large that it occupied a quarter of the sky, as if it would fall to the ground at any moment, and it was terrifying.
Finally taking his eyes off the green planet, another discovery made him tense and almost jumped on the spot.
A scarlet smile was hanging out the window. Bai Taiyang was silent for a while, only to realize that it was a round of the last quarter moon that was much smaller than the green planet, but much brighter!
On the street, people staggered out of the house, and although they did not walk in unison, they slowly walked in the direction of the square in unison with an indescribable order. Bai Taiyang didn't dare to make a sound, only felt that his scalp was numb.
His stuck mind had not yet fully turned, and he was shocked to see that there were some flowing shadows, which were slowly wriggling under the eaves from afar, and gradually moving in his direction through the shadows woven by people!
