Rhodes has had it since he can remember, and he is so accustomed to it that he only thinks that there is a problem with the healing speed that he takes for granted?

"Then why the hell am I different from others?" Rod asked, confused. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"So I ask you, what is your name, who are your parents. Mitherel stopped what he was doing, walked to the edge of the chair and sat down: "Or, do you recall that you have had any special adventures that have affected your body?"

"My name is Rod Foster, and my father is the Duke of Upper Winway...... As for the adventure, I don't remember it, I've stayed with my parents since I was a child, and even Wen Wei is the first time to go out. ”

"Foster, I haven't heard much of this family, your grandparents or grandparents. ”

"I've never heard of it, but my friends say that my parents settled in Winvi after being granted titles and fiefs by Emperor Kyle the Great eighteen years ago. ”

"Eighteen years ago...... Micerell muttered, a twinkle in her eyes, "remember the last time we met, the legendary 'Necromantic Guild' or the 'Evolution Society'. One thing I may not have mentioned is that the group was forcibly disbanded by order of Emperor Ericon, and all core members were expelled from the country, implicating many doctors and biologists, which happened nineteen years ago. ”

"What do you want to say......" Ciri showed a strange expression, "Rod's parents are members of the Evolution Society who were expelled by Ericon, and what makes him different from ordinary people is because he was manipulated?"

"It's just suspicion, it's not necessarily fact. Seeing Rod's shocked face, Mithreel stretched out his hands to comfort him, "But if it's true, then you're obviously their most perfect and successful test subject." The super healing ability alone is already a trait that a large number of members of the Evolution Society have been trying to develop for a long time. ”

Mithelel was still talking, but the boy couldn't hear it anymore—Rhodes felt something crumble in his heart.

No one knows better than the boy himself that he is distinguished from him by much more than the ability to heal himself. He surpassed the average in every physical quality he could think of: he had excellent eyesight and hearing, he had never lost a fight, he had never been sick, and his magical affinity was inherently high...... In Catherine's words, "the most perfect and ingenious magical creature in the world".

It turns out that this is not a metaphor, but a creation of himself.

Thinking of my sister Roy's unbelievable excellence, her parents are extremely strong but they don't have any relatives, and they never talk about the past and other weird things...... The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that what the doctor said was true.

He and Roy are not the children of their parents at all, but a special life they created with some kind of ideal template, artificial people!

......

"I'm sorry kid, it's just speculation," Mytherel shrugged, "but I think you have the right to pursue your true origins...... If possible, I might be able to study your body and see how you managed to be so different, rest assured, it wouldn't be life-threatening. ”

"Unfortunately, doctor, it doesn't seem possible at the moment. Ciri saw that Rod's expression was wrong, and reached out and tugged at him: "Hey, it's time for us to go, we've been here for an hour." ”

"You really should go. Pauli said bitterly, and with every mouth he opened, the wounds on his skull and scalp vibrate: "The doctor said it was just a conjecture...... Even if you are really going to pursue the so-called life experience, you have to survive it, so be careful. ”

Rhodes nodded in a trance, and like a walking corpse, he took out a stack of newly minted gold coins from his bag and put them on the doctor's table, not counting, but definitely more than fifty gold dragons: "I'm leaving, the wounded stay here, I want you to take care of him and hide him." Remember, I can afford to pay double no matter how much bounty anyone wants to capture us, but if I come back to find my partner betrayed, I will do everything in my power to retaliate. ”

"I'm a doctor, it's my vocation to save lives, and I treat and protect the patients who enter this room. The young man's confused expression was not very powerful, but the middle-aged man agreed, "I'm not short of money, but I accepted it to reassure you." Until you return, I promise not to hand over your companions. ”

Although they didn't really put the knife on each other's necks, after all, the two actually held the doctor hostage and forced the doctor to provide services. Rhodes didn't fully trust his promise at the moment, but he had no choice - with Pauli, all three of them were dead, and there was at least hope for him to stay.

"Let's go. Cieri took Rod's arm and pulled him away from the door.

The moon poked its head out of the clouds and coated the ground with a thin layer of silver frost. Last night, at this time, the two of them were drinking and enjoying Anteli food at King Elite's banquet, but tonight they have become wanted criminals who have fled in a hurry. They mounted their horses and proceeded in the general direction, and Rhodes sat on his horse, drunk and in a trance.

＊＊＊

He was the only son of the Duke of Foster, handsome and dashing, and was born noble and pampered. It was given by his parents, and he enjoyed it with peace of mind, but he was not proud of it, and only those qualities and abilities that had nothing to do with his origin, but belonged to him personally: a mind and ability to learn at a glance, a sword skill and skill that he had not met an opponent, a far superior physical strength, strength and agility...... Maybe part of it is due to the inheritance of parents, but at least most of it is due to their own hard work.

But the doctor's phone call just now shattered these beliefs: his entire life is unnatural, the creation and test of the Evolutionary Society, and all his advantages and strengths are not natural, but deliberately done by the creator for a specific purpose. The two men who gave their names and regarded them as their parents were only his makers!

For a day and a night, although the pursuit of unknown people made Rhodes feel innocent and angry, he had the idea of going home as a spiritual pillar, and he could at least escape and fight with a clear direction and a clear goal, even if it cut a bloody path...... As long as you go home and reunite with the people you love and love yourself, it's all worth it. But the discovery that he was an experiment made everything so ridiculous in an instant. He was in a great sense of loss: did his parents or makers, do they love him, how do they see themselves - "painstakingly finished works of art" or "having fun pets"? If he hadn't discovered it by accident, would he have told himself the truth at some point, or would he have kept it a secret from him until he died?

He suddenly wished that none of this had happened, that he had not traveled, and that he was still the son of a nobleman who had nothing to do all day, wandering around the city and causing trouble. His mother still spoiled but strictly controlled herself, his father was still nowhere to be seen all day, he only showed up at dinner, Roy still stared at him all day and disliked a few words from time to time, Catherine sighed at his refusal to learn magic and secretly cheated with him, and Frissy, Sephes, Jaime and a bunch of fox friends who wanted to stay with him all day......

There's no going back.
