“Hu…Hu…”
The knife-wielding man took several deep breaths and looked at Vic fiercely: "Why are you running?"
"Because you're chasing me!"
Vic spread his hands in frustration. He was also very tired and out of breath.
Since this man had no ill will towards him, he should have just said it earlier. He just chased after him with a knife in hand. How could he know whether he was a friend or an enemy
"… Maybe there was something wrong with the potion and it damaged your brain."
The black cat next to him suddenly made another sarcastic remark, leaving Vic speechless.
"Huh..." The knife-wielding man let out a long breath, exhaled another puff of second-hand smoke, and his frown relaxed a little: "... Tell me, why is this rat chasing you so late at night?"
He threw the unconscious long-haired man in front of Vic.
He stared at Vic closely, as if he didn't see him as a simple victim.
This is understandable. After all, there are many rebels hiding in the dark and causing trouble in the city-state of Barsato. It is possible that there are conflicts and internal strife.
"I suggest you tell the truth." Black Cat reminded at this time: "He has the strength to easily control you, just like your neighbor's old lady wants to cook a pot of stew."
What an outrageous description...
Vic's face darkened, but what it said made sense, so after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.
Of course, he directly concealed the point of resurrection, which he definitely could not talk about.
As for the potion formula given by the black cat, he obtained it in the academy by chance.
Although this is a bit far-fetched, Vic has no choice. If he lies, he will probably be chopped to pieces.
"Oh? A student from Barthato Academy?"
After hearing his words, the man with the knife looked at him in surprise, and the vigilance in his eyes faded a little, but he still did not directly believe his words.
"Why not seek help from the academy?"
Vic was silent for a moment after hearing this.
The black cat flashed and lay on a box beside him, saying in a lazy and weird voice: "... You know, I have no parents since I was a child, and I have no sense of security~"
When Vic heard this, he couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back. A sad look appeared on his face, and he smiled bitterly.
"... I'm afraid the academy won't value someone like me... I just want to survive..."
Hearing this, the man with the knife fell silent.
Vic's look seemed to move him.
After a moment, he threw away the half-smoked cigar in his hand and said, "Come with me. I will go to the academy to find your instructor to confirm your identity tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and picked up the long-haired man on the ground.
Vic heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
The black cat had somehow landed on the long-haired man's back again, looking at Vic and asking, "Should we kill this guy? Otherwise, we won't be able to hide the fact that you've been resurrected..."
Vic frowned when he heard this.
Indeed, this guy was just knocked unconscious by the uniform, not dead.
Rather, he was out to hunt him down, and if he was investigated, his secrets would surely be exposed.
but…
Vic didn't intend to take any risks. He just looked at the black cat and shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't intend to do so.
"Tsk, maybe you should do charity." Seeing this, the black cat couldn't help but sneer again.
Vic was about to glare at it when he heard that, but he saw the man with the knife suddenly glanced slightly.
"My name is Kerr, what's your name?"
"My name is Vic, sir," Vic said politely.
"oh."
Kerr responded and fell silent.
"…Perhaps the academy is indeed untrustworthy. Perhaps you could consider joining the secret society."
Kerr said suddenly.
"Thank you, Mr. Kerr. I'll think about it."
Vic looked sincere, but maintained politeness and distance in his words.
Secret meeting? He also distrusted it.
…
after a while.
Scott Island.
A merchant ship was gradually heading towards the port. The captain of the merchant ship was leaning against the railing, chatting animatedly with the man next to him.
Of course, this "enthusiastic" refers to the fact that he was chatting enthusiastically, and the man next to him just occasionally smiled and nodded in response or asked a question.
"... I have traveled all over the world over the years. Although I cannot say that I know everything, I can barely say that I have seen everything. However, I still have to say that the Black Tide Secret Society is really a very unique existence..."
"They don't prohibit those witches... Sorry, they are called extraordinary people here. In short, they don't prohibit the existence of extraordinary people. This is what shocked me the most. Even a peasant can drink magic potion. This is too outrageous..."
"Fortunately, the Black Tide Conclave is not stupid. They did not distribute those highly lethal potions to the farmers. Otherwise, if I were to come here to do business now, I would probably have to hire more guards, haha..."
"In short, this Black Tide Secret Society seems to me to be... um... very real. After all, those magic potions can indeed harvest more food and feed more people..."
“… They did the right thing.”
The merchant ship captain made this comment after taking a final deep puff of his cigar.
Hearing this, Roger said nothing but smiled.
"Thank you for the ride, Captain. More gold coins are waiting for you."
Roger smiled at the captain and walked down the gangway.
Hearing his words, the captain of the merchant ship laughed twice and waved goodbye to him.
After stepping onto Scott, Rogge once again observed the island, the largest source of faith power under his rule, from the perspective of an ordinary outsider.
At this time, Scott's changes can only be described in one word - changing with each passing day.
After the Black Tide Secret Society resolved the surrounding threats and entered a completely peaceful era, the rapid development of commerce naturally also promoted the development of Scott.
As for the farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, etc. in Scott, after an epic wave of strengthening by the Black Tide Conclave, their output capacity increased dramatically. After becoming wealthy, they naturally further promoted the development of other industries.
These changes are particularly evident in the architectural changes in Scott.
The original stone house buildings have now been transformed into more wooden houses, and the workmanship is quite exquisite, even with a bit of artistic atmosphere.
The flow of people coming and going also changed from scattered to crowded, with an endless stream of people and a lot of noise.
'If we don't use our extraordinary power for production, it will be difficult for such an island world to achieve social progress...'
Roger thought to himself.
Taking all of this in sight, he slowly walked into the prosperous city of Scott.
Looking at the prosperity around him, he felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had achieved great success in farming.
Not bad.
After a moment, Rogge withdrew his gaze and continued moving forward.
…
A fighting arena in Scott.
As the material life of civilians became more abundant, their spiritual needs began to increase, and many people began to have a demand for entertainment. Naturally, some entertainment venues emerged.
But unlike ordinary fighting arenas, most of the fighters in this fighting arena called "Polar" are relatively famous adventurers, and occasionally there are believers of the Black Tide Secret Society or students of the Black Tide Academy.
At this moment in the fighting arena, two adventurers were engaged in a fierce battle. They did not use any supernatural abilities, but only relied on their physical strength and fighting skills to attack each other.
They seemed to have some unspeakable contradictions, and every move was aimed at the vital points.
But these obviously have nothing to do with Rogge.
He walked straight to the viewing room on the stage and saw the burly man who was concentrating on holding the book.
"Hmm... the history of forging technology? Why are you interested in this?"
Roger spoke with interest.
Yas, who was reading a book, was startled when he heard this. Someone had actually come up behind him without him noticing.
After he turned around and saw who was coming, he couldn't help but laugh: "Rogge, you're back?"
"Why are you here to manage the fighting arena?"
Ya Si heard this and shook his head, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "It was Mira that girl who found something for me to do..."
"I don't really like this."
He said, and it was obvious that he meant it.
Although he felt excitement and thrill when fighting, that was not happiness.
If possible, Yas would even like to exchange his fighting talent for cooking or forging.
... Of course, if it were in the past, they would not have changed it. Without this talent, the brother and sister might not have survived to this day.
"Get ready, it's time to go."
Hearing this, Rogge smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and turned away.
"Keep an eye on the two little guys down there."
After leaving these words, his figure turned into black mist and gradually dissipated.
Only then did Yas notice the situation below. He frowned slightly, sighed slightly, and jumped down from the observation room.
After landing in the fighting arena, he stood directly between the two men, blocking their attacks with his chest and back.
Both sides of the battle screamed at the same time, as if they were hitting extremely hard steel.
"The fight ends here."
…
After finding Yas, Roger came to the Adventurer's Guild.
The Adventurer's Guild at this time was already very large, with many young people coming and going. Some of them were dressed extravagantly, while others had gorgeous looks, giving the impression that they were leading the fashion trends.
This is not surprising.
After all, many of those who go on sea adventures are teenagers or young people, who are more energetic.
After Rogge looked up, his figure blurred and then disappeared.
"Hmm?" A young man who had just left the house rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Strange..."
A blink of an eye.
Rogge's figure appeared in the top floor office of the Adventurer's Guild.
At this moment, the two girls were sleeping soundly in front of their desks.
On the head of one of the girls, there was a lazy elf lying.
Seeing this, Roger's face darkened.
After sighing slightly, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snapped.
With a slight sound, the two girls and the lazy elf stood up immediately. Their brains were still a little confused after just turning on the computer, and their expressions were a little dull.
"Ms. Nomi, how does it feel to sleep in the office of the Adventurer's Guild?"
Roger crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the wolf-eared girl with a smile.
"ah?"
Nomi was still a little confused.
And Anda and the Lazy Elf's reactions were obviously faster.
"Archbishop Roger..."
"It's a big bad guy!"
The elf's eyes lit up, and he flew to Rogue excitedly, hugged his face excitedly, and kissed him.
"You big bad guy, you big bad guy, Iya misses you so much!"
Hearing the elf say this, Roger was quite happy.
"It's been a long time since Yiya has eaten the strawberry candied haws, strawberry cake, blueberry cake, mango pudding, crispy cookies and..."
But when he heard the next words of the lazy elf, he was speechless.
"You little glutton, are you telling me the names of dishes here? Go away, get out of here!"
Roger stretched out a finger and pushed it away unhappily, glaring at her.
Being pushed aside by him, Yiya was immediately unhappy. Her cheeks puffed up with anger and she shouted, "You damn bad guy! I don't like you anymore!"
"I hate you the most! You big bad guy! I curse you to have no sense of taste from now on, and everything you eat will feel like chewing wood chips..."
A series of vicious curses were used by Iya to accuse Rogge.
"Captain! You're finally back!"
"I miss you so much!"
At this time, Nomi walked over with a look of surprise on his face and pretended to hug Rogge.
Then Rogge held his forehead.
"Don't try that on me. I know you still want to continue playing."
Roger rolled his eyes.
"But you can't play anymore. Go back and get ready and wait for me on the Green."
"By the way, where's Mira?"
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Anda beside him.
"Miss Mira is reading in the library."
Seeing Rogge's gaze, Anda stood up straight involuntarily, feeling a little nervous.
Rogge was silent for a moment: "... Stop playing with this idiot in the future."
"Also, please go find Hudson and tell him to wait for me on the Green."
Anda nodded seriously.
After Rogge left, Nomi's face fell immediately: "Damn it, Captain, why did you come back so soon? I haven't had enough fun yet..."
"Damn you big bad guy! You'd better never come back! Humph!"
The elf was still angry.
…
Scott Library.
This newly built library is not far from Kuroshio College and is already filled with books.
Most of these books came from foreign merchant ships. When they traded, they would always bring some knowledge or history from other places. Of course, local scholars were also constantly writing.
In a place in the library, black fog suddenly condensed and Rogge's figure suddenly appeared.
There were other people around, but they didn't notice anything unusual.
This is not because they are too focused, but because Rogge, who possesses mysterious power, can make people who don't want to see him ignore him, even if he is standing in front of that person.
After taking two steps, Rogge stopped in front of a girl who was reading a book seriously.
But she still didn't react.
Unlike the others, she was so focused that she didn't even notice Roger's arrival.
"… Don't read it, the rest of the story is ridiculous. The princess the knight is protecting is actually in love with her twin brother who murdered the people, and he was tricked by her."
Roger said.
This is actually the bloody story he experienced in the cave space...
The reason for this book is that he wanted to make himself sick, so he wrote it and put it in the library...
Unexpectedly, Mira watched it with great interest.
One ball a day!
