Chapter 240: Discussing a Secret Matter
Louis, who received the invitation from the lord, did not say that he just wanted to find a place to paralyze, but enjoyed a sumptuous lunch with the lord with a happy face.
Although they didn't say anything serious, everyone realized that in the future, Riverbend Castle would fully cooperate with the brave men in clearing the dense fog, and would not cause any trouble for the brave ones, and they would be the most honored guests of Lord Sorensen.
After lunch, Sorensen went about his business.
In Louis's eyes, Fort Riverbend was a slightly larger town at best, but it was already a big city, and all sorts of things, big and small, would be gathered together in Sorensen, as a lord.
In addition, it has been besieged by a dense fog recently, and there are more and more trivial frictions in the city, and the lord has been very tired recently, if it weren't for Louie and these people who are related to whether the dense fog can be eliminated, he would not have taken a day out to run to the city gate to squat.
"Your form doesn't look right. β
Coming out of the dining room and walking to the back garden of the castle, there were no more knights from Sorensen beside him, although there were still soldiers standing guard in several places nearby, but the distance was not close, as long as the sound was controlled, there was no need to worry that these ordinary people would be able to hear their conversation.
Artoria, who had endured a lunch, finally asked, "Is this mission troublesome?"
"No, this mission is very simple, I solved the mission goal in a few casual clicks after I went in, and the stay time is not long, plus the free time given after the mission is completed, it adds up to less than ten days. β
"And what's your current state?"
On the surface, it doesn't look abnormal, but the energy fluctuations are constantly being released on his body, and with Artoria's understanding of Louie, he has a good control over his own strength, and it is impossible for this situation to occur, so he will guess if Louie is injured?
"The reward for this mission is a huge amount of pure energy, and I feel like I'm overwhelmed right now. β
Artoria was not the only one who discovered that Louie's condition was wrong, as his mental power improved, Jill also noticed the abnormality in Louis, not to mention Myron, who was a powerful spellcaster herself.
These two are not as direct as Artoria's personality, they just ask if they want to, and they want to wait until the previous task is discussed afterwards to ask about the specific situation.
Louie came back smoothly, it didn't seem like he was seriously injured, there was no need to worry about his life, I heard that Louie actually received a huge reward of pure energy this time, and I wondered whether the world Louie entered this time was difficult or simple?
"When I went back to my room, I just stayed and took a walk in the garden. β
The back garden is the lord's private domain, except for the lord himself, only the lord's family is allowed to move here, but Sorensen does not restrict Louis from moving here, and the knights and soldiers not far away have no intention of hindering them, and they are obviously instructed in advance.
This also shows the current attitude of Lord Sorensen towards Louis: that is very good!
"Contact with the lord went much smoother than expected...... Is there any news from Bruce's side?" "Enter the dungeon and come out, only a day and a night have passed here, I wonder if there is any special situation on Bruce's side?"
"No, it's just that Steve and Peggy experimented with the handcuffs. Jill was in charge of the liaison and gave a brief introduction to the situation on Bruce's side.
When Louie and the others set off into the fog to get to Fort Bend, Steve and Peggy tried to use handcuffs, and when Louie entered the fog, Steve and Peggy also came out of the fog.
During the evening contact, Bruce told Jill about the situation along with the results of his analysis, and now Jill only relayed Bruce's analysis.
"Handcuffs can indeed allow two people to enter the same world, but after entering the foggy world, only one person can receive a mission through the Seal of the Brave, and the other person does not have a mission. β
"Who will this quest be posted to?"
Bruce speculated that it was the one who held the key. "These are all speculations, what the specific situation is, it may take a few more tests to know, anyway, the three people over there are mainly outside to guard the camp, and enter the dense fog world to exercise and improve, they have enough time to study this prop thoroughly.
Judging from the information we have learned so far, handcuffs can indeed allow two brave people to enter the same world, but the one brought in will not get the task, which means that the brave man cannot come back by completing the task, so he still needs the help of the handcuffs when he comes out.
When Steve and Peggy tested, the other person did not get a 'return' prompt after completing the mission, nor did he have the 'option' to return at any time, and after being handcuffed out of the foggy world, there was no reward, which was proved by various circumstances.
"What a pity!"
If you can bring the brave into the same world at will, and you can return freely after completing the mission, the handcuffs can also be used as a tool to recruit new people - it is also a question whether the person brought back through this method will receive the mark of the hero.
Bruce should be able to think of that, and Louie seemed to just have to wait for a definite conclusion.
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've gotten the Summoning Stone. Louis walked for a while in the garden, and finally stopped in front of the meadow.
"Do you think you don't have enough manpower?"
"It's always a lot more convenient when there are more people!" The picture of countless brave people rushing directly to the demon king flashed in his mind from time to time, he felt that this kind of picture was more interesting, and it was much better than a few people who worked hard to kill the demon king, and then the partners were injured and died, leaving only the last 'protagonist' and the demon king to fight to the death.
Moreover, Louis doesn't think that he will become the protagonist who lives to the end, if he can't help it, he will die on the road and pave the way for the protagonist's 'important supporting role'!
"Go back and rest, don't disturb others. Louis stood for a moment, took a breath of fresh air, and then glanced at the three young girls not far away, who were standing at a distance and looking at Louie, not daring to approach at all.
These girls look like they are about thirteen or fourteen years old, they should be Sorensen's daughters?
When Louis turned to go back to his room, he looked curiously twice, and found that his feelings were not delusions, and one of them had indeed been staring at him.
His movements did not escape the eyes of the people next to him, and after Myron glanced into the distance a few times, he told Louis the identities of the girls: "Charlotte, Adriana, the daughters of Lord Sorensen, and Magda, niece. He confirmed his earlier suspicions.
"Oh, daughter and niece?"
Louie's chatter made Jill next to him misunderstand: "You don't have any thoughts about those children, do you?"
"How is that possible?" Louis immediately waved his hand and said, 'I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!', he just because the other party has been staring at him, so he took a few more looks, and he really didn't have any thoughts about those 'girl films', if he really had an idea, he was also facing Jill or Artoria, not much more fragrant than the little girl's films?
Back at the residence, Louis entered the room and began to work hard to 'digest' the surge of energy, completely turning it into a Force that could be used by him at will.
Because there was too much increase in an instant, he couldn't complete the transformation quickly, Louie didn't even eat dinner, and worked until the evening to make the feeling of 'panic' disappear and come out of the room.
By this time, the night was already late, and in this world where there was not much entertainment to live, most people had already fallen asleep.
Louis turned around and saw several of his companions in the drawing room, who had not yet rested.
"Finally out? Thought you'd stay that way until tomorrow morning. Jill was in a tight-fitting combat suit showing off her figure, holding a fruit in her hand and nibbling on it without a bite, and when she saw Louie come out, she removed the things she was wearing on her ear to reveal one ear - she was listening, wearing a combat suit to deal with unexpected situations.
Artoria sat next to her in civilian clothes, not resting or practicing her magic, but thinking about her next moveβshe was playing chess with Myron.
Still standing by the window, Louis habitually glanced outside, the guards and the people watching were in the same position, there was no change and abnormality, Louis first looked at Jill and asked her if she heard anything bad for herself and others.
"No, it seems that Sorensen really wants to work with us. Jill listened for a while, and finally took off the headphones, it seems that Sorensen has rested, and there is no need to continue monitoring tonight: "Just had a contact with Bruce, and everything is normal on their side. β
Now it seems that things are not going in the direction of complexity, but in strides in the simplest direction.
"That's a good thing, so we can focus all our energy on the fog. "After eating the fruit in three or two bites, Louis is not happy to make a copy and be messed with all day long, and being able to coexist peacefully with Sorensen, or even friendly cooperation, can be regarded as the best result.
What Louis and the others didn't expect was that the next day, after the sun was high in the sky, Sorensen suddenly put Myron and several brave men in the castle, saying that they wanted to discuss an extremely secret matter.
Sorensen then took the men to a heavily guarded room in the castle and showed them something that none of them expected to see here.
"Some time ago, several mages found this thing from the dense fog, I wonder if it will be of any help to clear the dense fog?"
Louis was surprised to look at this energy mass surrounded by several magic props, constantly flashing red light, and immediately recognized what it was: it was the core of the dense fog that he had dealt with once in Redwood Village!
At this time, the Seal of Courage on the left hand of several people reacted in unison.
