Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mystery
In addition to the woman's strange and inhuman recovery powers, Ron actually cared about one more thing.
That's what the boy named Kidd saw before he died.
The face of extreme fear after the death of the teenager, and the foam of white on his chest.
Although he had guessed whether it was a poison before he came, it didn't seem to be so simple when he thought about it now.
The feeling of being watched, and the sudden extinguishing of the lights, is no coincidence.
Although he found nothing after that except for the dead boy's body.
But Ron felt that there was something behind him at that time, and he stared at him with his eyes.
Even now, in retrospect, he still has a feeling of nausea with goosebumps all over his body.
"What the hell is that?" Ron sat at the table, quietly eating the food in his mouth.
Anyone who saw him had been killed by him, and he had swept the traces away, and there was no trace of exposure.
But what appeared at the end made him wonder if his identity had been revealed.
Although with his current strength, he is confident that he will not be afraid of Nick, but after all, there is still no convenience to come secretly.
And, judging from his palm-sized hunting mission and the scribbled handwriting on the back, Ron felt that he might be just a small character in the eyes of the other party, and he didn't get much attention at all.
This can be seen from the attitude of the few people he killed, unless he is carefully identified, these guys will not recognize him at all.
"Seven people, four of them are dead at my hands now, so to speak, there are three other people on the other side outside, and one person is outside if you count Nick and that Grant. ”
If it weren't for the fact that things had suddenly turned a little weird, Ron could have waited until the other party came to the grove and ambushed him.
However, it is too late to say anything.
However, if his identity is really exposed, then thinking about it, the other party will definitely automatically find him.
After eating the food on the table, let the militia take the things out, and Ron himself walked out of the tent.
At this time, the militia camp gradually increased, and in the middle of the camp, several militiamen were piling up the corpse of a soldier of the Lane Empire, tied up with hemp rope, and did not know what to do.
The three servants were passing by in front of his tent, all of whom knew but were not familiar with each other, and Ron simply nodded in acknowledgement.
Under the clear blue sky, the warm afternoon sun shone on his body very comfortably, which gradually eased his somewhat gloomy mood a lot.
Moving his neck from side to side, Ron rubbed the cross sword at his waist with his palm.
Although his basic swordsmanship has been fully mastered and has been well verified in actual combat, the true limit has not yet been tested.
The few battles experienced in the morning were not thrilling at all, and could be described as a one-sided massacre.
Just as Ron was about to find a vacant space to test his current swordsmanship.
Not far away, on the road into the camp, a group of people on horseback was slowly walking in this direction.
At the front of the horse was a tall and burly James, next to him was Nick, followed by Granger and a few other henchmen.
"Oh, it's back, so soon?" said Ron, who saw the horse team appear, standing in place.
He originally thought that there were many soldiers who had escaped, and the search time was estimated to continue until the evening, but he didn't expect to return now.
However, as the horse team approached, Ron suddenly noticed that James at the front had a white bandage wrapped around his left arm, faintly revealing red blood.
And the other servants also have more or less obvious scars on their bodies.
"Huh?" Ron frowned slightly at this, and it seemed that the search process was not going well.
The team soon arrived at the camp, James's face was gloomy and terrifying, and after a few words to Nick, he disbanded the group and walked to the tent alone.
Granger, in the middle of the group, handed his horse to a militiaman and was about to leave when he saw Ron walking by.
"What's going on?" Ron walked over to Granger, looking him up and down.
Granger's leather armor also had a lot of scratches, but it wasn't too bad, but his face was still a little pale when he hadn't fully recovered.
Hearing his inquiry, Granger waved his hand.
"Ambushed by Ryan's soldiers, Lord James was also injured in the sneak attack, but the group of soldiers was almost killed by us, and Lord Felius is now leading someone to clean up the rest. ”
"That's good. Ron nodded.
Although the overall strength of the soldiers is similar to that of ordinary servants, the servants are led by trainee knights, and it is easy to destroy them all.
"But, in this incident, Lord James seems to have found something, and perhaps we will be able to go soon. Granger looked slightly serious
"Found something?" Ron was slightly stunned. "What's that?"
Immediately thinking of the people he killed in the morning, could it be that James hit by mistake
"It's a letter. Granger continued. "It seems to have been given to a nearby lord. ”
"A letter?"
Hearing that he didn't find what he was thinking, Ron secretly relieved his heart, and then frowned. "You mean, some of the Lane Empire and our country"
He didn't say the latter sentence, but the meaning was already obvious.
"Probably. Granger also had a complicated look in his eyes. "Perhaps it will not be long before the peaceful life will come to an end. ”
"Alas. Ron sighed softly, reluctant to say anything more.
The two countries of Ryan and Best have been at war for many years, but most of them are small contradictions, such as major wars that have not occurred in recent decades.
But now it seems that several recent events have shown bad signs.
The Ryan soldiers invaded Best's territory, and they weren't the only ones who came here.
However, Ron had faintly heard some clues about this in the passage room before, so he was not too surprised now.
Moreover, compared to Granger's dullness, he did not have much burden in his heart.
After all, he didn't belong to this world in the first place, and he didn't have much sense of belonging to the country of Best.
Except for a few familiar friends, there is nothing particularly important or family that cares about.
If irreversible war does occur, it will not be very difficult to choose to flee the country.
The only thing he cares about at the moment is about Nick and the mysterious organization behind him, as well as this mysterious world.
Through the signs he encountered, Ron felt that this world was far from a simple era of cold weapons.
