Chapter 62: The Demon King and the New Era
"Thank you...... Ladies and gentlemen......"
In the living room of Lizar's house, the black-haired witch who had just been rescued from the secret room by Green was thanking Green and his party.
"Lizarrose, when did that thief trap you?" The elven girl asked.
"Food...... Got ...... Drugged ...... Toxin detection is ineffective. ”
Under the introduction of Lizzel Rose, Green and his party quickly figured out why the witch was put down.
"Drugged again! Why does that thief's poison always fool my perception and the mage's spells? The elf girl was in a terrible mood at the thought of running to the toilet several times in a row.
"This colorless and odorless poison is indeed very troublesome." The chimpanzee couldn't help but say, "I was accidentally poisoned by Sid before." ”
"Nope. It shouldn't be poison. Green thought back to some of the things he had encountered in the game, "Poisons that can trick the detection of toxin magic and elven perception are not cheap, and he should use some special ingredients." For example, psychedelic liquor, a mixture of high-strength fine wine and stimulants, is absolutely non-toxic, but most people lose consciousness after drinking it. ”
Witch: "I...... Never drink alcohol. ”
Greene: "Well, so just add a little bit to your food or drink and pour a cup." ”
"What about me?" The elf pointed to himself, "My nose is very smart. The smell of alcohol definitely can't escape my nose! ”
"Ah, it's possible that you just ate vegetables with bugs, so you have diarrhea......"
"Vegetables with worms!?" The elf girl's face was not very good.
Greene: "It's not strange for an elf, is it?" ”
"What about me?" The chimpanzee was also interested, "I was once hurt by that thief and had diarrhea." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the gastrointestinal function of orangutans, so I don't know what to give you to make you diarrhea." A chimpanzee, a warrior monk who is still invincible to all poisons! Green really couldn't imagine what it ate to cause diarrhea.
While everyone was chatting, there was a sudden commotion outside the house.
"Guards, this is it! Three robbers had just broken in. Look at the lock on the door, it was broken by the bandits! ”
With the voice of a young man, several knights in half-length armor and cloaks embroidered with the emblem rushed in with weapons.
"Oh~ Ms. Mesta, are you alright?" The guards who rushed into the living room immediately saw the witch lying on the couch, looking a little weak.
The witch doesn't look very good, which makes the guards have some bad associations.
"Oh! Damned scoundrels! What did you do to Ms. Mesta!? Several guards rushed in and quickly surrounded Grimm and his party in a surrounding manner.
"Do the police always show up last?" Looking at the guards surrounding him, Green couldn't help but complain.
"This is a misunderstanding!" The elf girl hurriedly stood up, "In the name of the goddess, we have no malice!" ”
"Mother Earth protects us." Chimpanzees began to pray.
The same belief softened the attitude of the guards a little.
"Trespassing on a house is not something a follower of the Mother Goddess would do." The guards, who looked a little like the captain, looked at the crowd.
"We are acquaintances with Lizarrose. Lizar Rose, help us explain. The elven girl looked back.
"Captain Jaqun...... They are...... My friend...... They...... Saved...... I. The witch's staccato language sounded a little head-wrenching.
But the captain of the guard seemed to know the witch, so after hearing the witch's words, he finally relaxed.
With a wave of his hand, he motioned for his men to put away their weapons: "Can you tell me what's going on here?" Why are you breaking the door? ”
"We're hunting down Sid, the thief. We found out that Sid the thief was impersonating Lizarrose, so we ran to find her, and found Lizarrose locked in the secret room. The elven girl explained in a short cut.
"Hunting down Sid, the thief?" The captain of the guard looked at everyone, "I see, it's you." The captain of the guard seemed to know the identities of several people, "I hope you can abide by the local laws during the pursuit." ”
"Ahaha~ Of course." The elf girl's expression seemed a little embarrassed.
The guards made sure the witch was okay and left. In this society where "everyone is a soldier", guards are a very busy profession.
After the guards left, Green and his party also took their leave and left the witch's house.
"Gudolph and I are going to continue to hunt down that bastard Sid. Green, would you like to join us in our hunt for that thief? The elf invited Green to join her team.
"Hmm...... I remember that the thief's bounty was quite high. If he's committing a crime in town, I'd be happy to work with you. ”
"It's wonderful! I'll come to you the next time Sid releases the teaser letter. ”
Seeing Beauty and the Beast depart, Green returns home with a book he borrowed from the witch Lizarrose.
The Ancient Chronicles is a book that records the history of a hundred years ago, through which Green can gain more historical information and thus learn more about the world.
With the borrowed books in hand, Green returned home.
Green had just walked to the door and noticed what seemed to be going on in the tavern next door. Originally, there was no one in the tavern during the day, but there was a large group of people around, and the figures of guards could be vaguely seen inside.
"Did something happen?" Green couldn't help but walk over and ask a crowd of onlookers.
"I heard that the boss's daughter was kidnapped...... "and an enthusiastic resident replied casually, "it took the boss a day to get his daughter back with the help of the adventurers." ”
"I see...... It's good to be back. "Green still has a good impression of that lively Kanban girl.
"But the strange thing is that the kidnappers of the tavern daughter did not ask for ransom or do anything to her, they just kidnapped her and locked her up."
"Oh?" Green's heart moved slightly, "This kind of means...... Déjà vu. Green couldn't help but think of a thief.
It was just a small episode, and soon, Green put the matter behind him and returned home.
Green has more to do than those inconsequential little things.
During this time, Green basically lived a home-library, two-point and one-line life. However, although there are many books in the library, there are few materials about magic, cultivation, and ancient history. It was rare to find an ancient chronicle from Lizarrose, and Grimm naturally borrowed it.
Sitting in a chair, Green flipped through the book in his hand.
“…… The Year of the Roaring Boar...... The Year of the Shadows...... The Year of the Clock of Chaos...... Flowers and the Year of Summer......"
The way history is recorded in ancient times is slightly different from the current six-god calendar. The 'Six Divine Calendar' is a historical record method set by the Church with the 'Year of God's Abandonment' as the first year, while the chronological record of the ancient calendar is compiled by prophets, using various prophecies as the chronological method. Prophets prophesy each year, and then use what they see as a mark, producing all kinds of "XXX years" that make people seem unaware.
Although this "prophetic chronology" is not very in line with the habits of earthlings, it does not prevent Green from understanding the contents of the book.
Just then, Green suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the house.
"Green, are you home?" It was a vibrant female voice.
Looking at the red hair outside the window, Green couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
