Chapter 40: Unveiled
"Okay. Ron was silent for a moment, then looked up at Grant's swollen face from his punch, and said seriously. "Count me in debt to you once. ”
"No, we're just going to have to settle it. Grant waved his hand, his eyes a little complicated. "Now that the Watcher has been killed by you, the Order should ignore me in five years, and I should do something of my own, I don't know what the outcome will be"
Listening quietly to Grant's self-talk, Ron looked at the attributes under his eyes.
'Attributes: Strength 2.2 (1.4), Agility 2.0 (1.3), Constitution 2.1 (1.4), Intelligence 1.4. Status: Mild weakness. ’
It had long been expected that the overall attribute would drop a lot, but when he saw the final state, he was slightly stunned.
'Huh, how can it be mildly weak'
Ron suddenly thought of the silver marbles that Grant had just given him, as if they were some powerful antidote.
'So, I almost died from the poison of the big bird's claws?'
He subconsciously touched the wound on his chest.
The thick breastplate had been shattered, and there were three clear long marks on it, and the blood flowing from the wound had been stopped with the strong physical fitness, although there was still a tearing pain, it was much better than the cold numbness before.
'I lost a lot of blood, but once the toxins are completely removed, it will only take two or three days to recover. ’
Determining his physical condition, Ron was completely relieved.
In this unusually chaotic time, it would be a bad idea to be seriously injured again.
The layer of black armor on Grant's body next to him has been completely exposed, but it is a black inner armor, covered with criss-crossing claw marks, which looks extremely miserable.
However, in addition to the blood all over his body and face, this guy himself does not seem to be too seriously injured, and he looks good in spirit.
"Now that the watcher is dead, then the information I know can also be told to you, then again, why do you want to know the information of my organization. As if he didn't think that was appropriate, Grant quickly explained. "I don't have any ill will, you know, I'm out of the Night Hand, there's no conflict of interest between us, and the people you killed aren't very familiar to me. ”
Feeling his body regain some strength, Ron quietly withdrew the hand that was being held by Grant and said calmly. "I'm just curious about the mysterious forces of your organization. ”
"What? just curiosity?" Grant looked at Ron with wide eyes and a shocked expression, as if he felt unusually ridiculous about the reason.
"God, you're really crazy" He covered his forehead, and he didn't know what to say.
Looking at his exaggerated appearance, Ron frowned, and his eyes sank slightly.
"What? Isn't that a reason?"
He had only seen this narrow territory until he had traveled to this world, and it could be said that Ron had no idea what the world was like.
Even the medieval period he inferred similar to the West was only inferred from the original Ron's memory, and it is uncertain whether this is really the case.
Feeling that the atmosphere that had just eased down was about to stiffen again, Grant hurriedly waved his hand.
"Of course, I mean that's a really good reason well, I promise to tell you everything I know, but not now, you see, my carriage is broken, Miss Lina is still in the carriage, I have something to do."
"Then you'll spend the night in Fetttown. Ron said in an unquestioning tone.
"Okay, I see. Granette nodded.
"Hmm. Ron muttered. "I'll be waiting for you at the hotel on the far right there, don't try to escape, I know you'll be interesting to Miss Lina. ”
“”
As if he didn't expect Ron to say the latter sentence, Grant's face suddenly flushed, and he opened his mouth to refute something.
However, Ron directly picked up the two swords on the ground, reinserted them into his waist, and after scanning the black marks, he turned around and walked towards the town of Fit.
Looking at Ron's back as he quickly left, Grant paused in place for a moment before walking in the same direction......
Fit Town.
Ignoring the innkeeper's suspicious eyes, Ron placed a silver coin on the counter, asked for some hot water for the bath and food, and followed an innkeeper to a room.
Watching the man leave, Ron closed the door, untied the two swords from his waist and placed them on the table, and then quickly took off his cloak and clothing.
Although the bleeding had stopped from the three wounds on his chest, the flesh around the wounds was still very terrifying and white, as if it was due to the rain.
Now that Ron thought back to the situation carefully, the big bird he attacked seemed to be just a random slash with his claws, and he didn't really target it at all, but that's it, the poison on his claws almost killed him.
"It's so perverted," Ron looked at the wound on his chest in fear.
The sharp blade slashed at his body without any traces, and this kind of defense alone made him have no way at all.
If it weren't for the arrow that he threw out at the end that could send out a scorching temperature, the consequences could have been imagined.
"What kind of arrow is that, so powerful?"
With the perverted defense of that bird, the arrow actually easily penetrated it, and directly turned it into a torch.
Even now, Ron still has an incredible feeling.
However, as powerful as the arrow was, he left to see nothing on the ground except a pile of black ash.
Come to think of it, the arrow was a one-time item, which made Ron feel a little sorry.
Of course, if it can really be reused, it is definitely a big killer.
After cleaning the wound a little and changing into a loose pajamas in the room, Ron walked to the window and squinted slightly at the light rain that was still falling outside.
Outside the inn was a dirt road leading out of town, and some townsfolk in gray ponchos were rushing in this direction.
There is something cool in the humid air, and it is very pleasant to blow on the face.
Ron leaned his hand against the window, feeling the dampness of the rain.
"Although I almost lost my life, I am now halfway there. ”
He didn't expect that Grant would voluntarily leave the organization, which saved him a lot of unnecessary things.
However, from this incident, Ron also felt that this world was full of great dangers in addition to mystery.
This made the little pride and complacency in his heart completely hibernated, but it also made him more curious about the world......
In the evening, in a hotel in the town of Fit.
After simply washing his body and eating dinner, Ron walked out of the room.
Walking through the wooden hallway, he came to a door, stretched out his hand and knocked softly.
'Knock knock'
After a while, Grant's voice came from behind the door.
"It's coming. ”
'Click. ’
Grant, dressed in clean clothes, opened the door.
There was no blood on his face anymore, but there was still some swelling that looked ridiculous.
"Come in. Seeing Ron, Grande gestured.
Without speaking, Ron walked directly into the room, glanced around, and found that there was still unfinished food on the table, and Grant seemed to be eating just now.
After a pause, he pulled a chair and sat down.
Grant carefully closed the door and walked over to the table, gesturing to something on the table.
"Something to eat?"
"Nope. Ron shook his head and refused. "Let's get down to business. ”
"Okay. Grande nodded, pushing the food aside from the table. "Where do you want me to start, but I'm just an ordinary member of an intelligence organization, and I don't know if it's too secret. ”
"I understand. Ron thought for a moment. "Let's start with the outliers you mentioned earlier, that kind of strong resilience, I'm very interested. ”
"Alien, I see. Grant seemed to be organizing the language for a long time before he continued. "There are many intelligent creatures in this world, the so-called 'alien' refers to the general term of intelligent creatures other than humans, some aliens themselves have their own natural abilities, these abilities are very mixed, some are very strong and some are very weak, such as the Penny and Wren you met before, they are semi-aliens with the blood of demon women, but their bloodlines are too scarce, and they only have a strong self-recovery ability. ”
"Bloodline?" Ron said curiously, listening to what Grant had said. "Do you know what a real witch looks like, and how do you get this power?"
"I haven't seen real witches, but it is said that they are born charmers, with bat-like wings and pointed tails, and red eyes, and anyone who sees a witch will unconsciously fall in love with them, both men and women, and then pay for them Now there are very few purebred witches, most of them are just some half-breeds with their blood, as if they can be seen occasionally in some prosperous cities. Grant glanced at Ron, who was listening carefully, and said with a teasing smile. "Also, you can't get that kind of power at all, it's a genetic innate ability, maybe your child can get it, don't think about it. ”
Ignoring Grant's teasing, Ron shook his head in disappointment.
"It's a shame. ”
"Okay, is there anything else to ask?" Grant smiled, and he seemed pleased to see Ron's disappointed expression.
"Hmm. Nodding, Ron tapped on the table and thought about it. "Tell me about the current situation in the Bester and Ryan Empire, it seems that this is the information your organization is gathering. ”
"That's right, our team used to come here to collect and observe all kinds of things in the surrounding countries, but now I'm the only one left in the team. Grant shrugged indifferently. "The last information I got was that the Ryan Empire was tilting against the middle and bottom nobles of Best, and it seemed that thirty percent of the nobles had chosen to cooperate with the Ryan Empire. ”
"So much?" Ron's heart sank slightly when he heard this information. "So, war is inevitable?"
"For now, that's right. Grant agreed. "The Lord of the Territory also seems to have vaguely anticipated this, so he is in a hurry to send Miss Lina and the other important people away, and not only because he reported the revenge of those nobles. ”
“”
Ron fell into deep thought, as a territory close to the border, if there is a war, it will definitely become a battlefield here, so regarding the various small actions of the Ryan Empire, even if it is not destroyed this time, it is not far away.
"However, things may not have happened like this, the top of the Best Empire must have made moves, and compared to the Lane Empire, the heritage of the country of Best is much more than it seems. Looking at Ron's thoughtful expression, Grant kindly reminded. "Of course, this place will definitely not be saved, if you have the ability, you can leave recently, and it is better to go to Rabina City or a few relatively large cities in the imperial capital than to stay here. ”
Without hearing the words that followed him, Ron suddenly noticed a very important word that Grant had said earlier.
"Heritage, what heritage? Could it be that Best will not be destroyed?"
"How so!?" Grant said, surprised. "Even if the Lane Empire is destroyed, Best will not perish, the top of this country is that kind of existence, even if the Lane Empire wants to annex, it doesn't have the guts. ”
"What exists?" Ron looked at Grant suspiciously, vaguely as if he had caught something.
"It's a wizard. Grant explained. "The Bester Empire was originally the residence of a mysterious wizard organization, and then it took a hundred years of development to form a country, although the wizard organization has not sent people here for a long time, but the Ryan Empire, which was established as an ordinary person, will not send a war to destroy the country at Best, otherwise, who knows what will happen in the next moment, you must know that wizards are more mysterious and weird than aliens. ”
"Yes?"
Ron didn't expect the Best Empire to hide this secret, it was too shocking.
Although he doesn't yet understand what a wizard is, what kind of organization can make a nation fearful?
