Chapter 008: Dumb as Steady as an Old Dog

The next day, early in the morning.

"Remember, you can't be too weak when you go outside, there are a lot of bad guys."

"If anyone bullies you, remember to tell Rex, if he can't afford to provoke him, bear with it first, and tell Aunt Susan when he comes back, I will take your village chief uncle to help you out of anger."

"And ......"

At the entrance of the village, Susan was chattering to Rorschach about precautions.

Although what she said yesterday was very absolute, in the end, she still couldn't help but come to see off Rorschach and them, but cheap daddy Hughes disappeared at this moment.

Rorschach was not disappointed by this, he and Hughes did not have any father-son relationship, so naturally they would not have any expectations.

However, Susan's chatter touched his heart a little.

Although he was not the Rorschach they thought he was, he was still slightly moved in the face of this unreserved love.

"Okay, don't be verbose, I'm sure Rex will take care of him, right?" Old Munn stepped forward to stop his wife, who was still about to continue nagging.

At the same time, he also looked at Rex.

"Definitely." Rex replied simply.

He didn't say too many promises, and he didn't make a bet with the old Mun and his wife about what would happen to him, because there was no need for that.

As the Storm Royal, there are some things that are more important than life.

Such as commitment, but also such as responsibility.

The departure of Rex and Rorschach was silent and did not alarm too many people in the village.

But Dusk Village is so big, no matter what happens, how can it really hide it from those old guys in the village?

At the same time as the two left, Guldan, a one-eyed little old man in the village who was drinking with Hughes, looked at Hughes with a smile and asked:

"Really not going to send it?"

"It's just a matter of going out and exercising, what is there to give." Hughes picked up the metal flask and poured two sips into his mouth.

"Hey, if you're really so inappropriate, what did you do with that kid from Rex last night?" Gul'dan said with a smile.

"Have you forgotten how you are blind in that eye, and you are still looking around, so that you are not afraid that one day the other eye will be poked blind?" Xius said lightly.

"It's just a joke, why are you still personally attacked, you have to get it, can't I say it, drink and drink......"

The one-eyed old man poured himself another glass of wine.

It's just that if you pay attention to it, you will find that in the light of his only remaining one-eyed eyes, it is reflecting the scene of Rorschach and them slowly moving away at the entrance of the village.

It was as if he was also standing at the entrance of the village, watching the two of them leave.

……

Suddenly leaving the village where he had lived for more than ten years, Rex seemed a little uncomfortable, and seemed a little silent along the way.

Although he didn't want to affect Rorschach, he would occasionally chat with Rorschach with a smile on his face, but after all, it was not the same as before.

Contrary to him, Rorschach only felt comfortable at this time!

There was no way, it was too stressful to stay in the village, and he was afraid that he would accidentally expose his stuffing.

As for getting along with Rex, although there are some places to pay attention to, Rex is not so familiar with his predecessor after all, let alone compared to Cheap Daddy Hughes, even with the old Munn couple.

In this case, the chance of him revealing his stuffing is naturally lower.

"I don't know how long this replacement will last, so let's give me some rest." Rorschach, who was sitting on the back of 'Dumb', thought to himself.

Dumb is a strange beast that resembles a rhinoceros.

It's just that its size is larger than the rhinoceros that Rorschach had seen in his previous life, with a body length of about seven meters and a back height of more than three meters.

It was a mount that the old Munn had brought with them before they left, and said it had been borrowed from a villager in the village named 'Moro'.

Just by looking at Rex's reaction at the time, Rorschach knew that this mount named Dumb should be unusual, and sure enough, the recognition of the trash talk pupil also confirmed his suspicion.

It is worth mentioning that the feeling of sitting on Dumb's back is extremely stable, and at this point, the experience is even more than the experience of riding in a car in the previous life.

Not only that, but Dumb was running very fast, and even if Rex didn't let him go full speed, his running speed was at least about eighty yards of a car, according to Rorschach's estimates.

With such a large body size, running at such a speed, it can still make the two people sitting on their backs not notice the slightest bump, and they are as stable as old dogs.

However, according to Rex, Dumb's appearance is not very special, and it is very similar to a mount called the 'Grey Horned Rhinoceros'.

So even if you take it out of the village, it won't be very eye-catching.

That's probably why the old Muns borrowed it.

As for the duration of the replacement that Rorschach pondered, the man in the top hat really mentioned it to him.

Whether in Aqua Blue or in this mysterious new world, the duration of the displacement is usually not fixed, with the shortest duration to date supposed to be about a week, and the longest lasting almost three months.

Displacers have no way of knowing how long each exchange will last, except for a hint from the Origin Spirit half an hour before the exchange is about to begin.

Just like when Rorschach and the man in the top hat heard the prompt at the same time.

In addition, although the time on both sides of the replacement process is relatively static, the displacers will have a brief mental stagnation at the moment of opening.

If someone takes advantage of this time to sneak attack, the chance of success is very high, so the exchanger will usually keep themselves in a relatively safe environment before the exchange is about to start, preferably alone.

This is also the reason why the man in the top hat must leave before the replacement is about to begin.

Even if he is facing a rookie who has just been enlightened, the top hat man is not willing to take any risks, which is a habit that veteran replacements will have.

As a pure rookie, Rorschach doesn't have those concerns.

He just wanted to end this replacement as soon as possible, at least so that he could have a little respite, so that his spirit would not be tense like clockwork.

"Dumb, slow down."

Just when Rorschach was a little distracted, Rex suddenly patted Dumb's back gently, and then turned his head sideways to Rorschach behind him and said, "There seems to be a caravan camping ahead, should we go over and rest for a while, and get some information by the way?" ”

"Uncle Rex doesn't have to care about my opinion, I basically don't know anything about things outside, this time Dad asked me to come out with you to let me learn from you, you can arrange it." Rorschach said bluntly.

Of course, he knew that Rex would ask him how he was taking care of him, but neither the previous nor the current one really knew anything about the outside world.

In this case, it is wisest to listen to Rex's arrangement.

"Well, let's go over and have a look." Rex didn't feel polite anymore when he heard this, thought about it, and explained, "My identity may be a little sensitive in the Storm Empire, and you'd better not call me by my name when there are others in the future, so as not to alarm the miscellaneous people who have involved you." ”

"Then let's just make up a temporary identity, I'll just call Uncle Rex you a teacher, and I'll be your student." Rorschach suggested, "As for the name, I don't know my name much, so I don't need to hide it. ”

"On the contrary, it's you, teacher, who need a pseudonym."

By the time Rorschach said the last sentence, he had already begun to adjust to his new name for Rex.

Rex was a little surprised by Rorschach's resilience, and muttered, "Then I'll call Arthur for the time being, this is the name and identity of one of my former guards...... It's tentatively an ascetic knight, and he traveled all over the world, and by the way, he accepted a student with good talent. ”

"Arthur, I see." Rorschach nodded, and at the same time secretly scolded himself, this name is really uncreative.

When I heard it, it was like an honest man with a big sword.
