One o'clock in the afternoon.
Rosen wore tattered iron armor improvised using transfiguration alchemy, rode a skinny horse that he bought with money, and disguised himself as a down-and-out wandering knight from the Kingdom of Cologne.
Gilles disguised himself as his knight squire, wearing even more ragged clothes and riding a thinner warhorse.
As for Tiralilin.
Rosen had already informed her of his plan through the spiritual weapon he had built in advance.
The other party will stay in Baron Elliot's mansion, disguised as the Baroness's maid.
He was not worried about Tiralilin's safety because Rosen had made many powerful magical weapons for her to use for self-defense.
"Click~click~click~click~"
Two skinny horses walked one after the other on the dirt road outside Bluestone City.
"Remember, I am a knight from the Kingdom of Cologne, my name is Rogge. You are a knight squire I recruited along the way, your real name is Gilles, and you are from the town of Lyon in the south of the Kingdom of Aoshuang."
“I remember.”
Gilles rode the horse skillfully and adapted to his new identity quickly.
Because he can ride a horse, and in his world, there is also the profession of knight.
From a certain perspective, the mortal realms of the two worlds are very similar, and it is not known whether it is a coincidence or for other reasons.
"You don't know much about the Aoshuang Kingdom. When you have nothing to do, just keep quiet to avoid unexpected trouble."
"OK."
"Now tell me about your taboos, or weaknesses."
Gilles immediately said, "I don't know why, but I'm afraid of gold. If I touch gold, I'll get severely burned, and it'll take a long time to recover."
"I have a very sensitive nose, and strong smells, such as onions, garlic, peppers, etc., will make me very, very painful, as if someone is stabbing my nose with a knife."
"By the way, I'm afraid of the light, too."
"For me, the sun is too bright and it hurts my eyes, but on a cloudy day like today, it's barely acceptable, although it's still very dazzling."
"There are still many weaknesses. Are there any more?"
“No more.”
Rosen thought about it and tried to perform transformation on its body first.
The Transfiguration spell had no effect.
Rosen was not surprised because when he used mental magic to deal with the orcs, the orcs were completely immune.
After thinking about it, Rosen changed his method and used time and space magic to add a layer of invisible space membrane on the surface of his skin, eyes, ears and nose mucosa. Its function was to isolate or weaken his perception of the outside world.
"And now?"
"Hmm~ I'm a little slow, my vision is dim, I can't see anything clearly, my nose is blocked, and I'm a little breathless."
In other words, time and space spells work.
This is also consistent with the performance of the orcs.
Rosen fine-tuned the thickness of the diaphragm, and after more than a dozen adjustments, Gilles was finally satisfied.
He asked expectantly, "It's almost exactly the same as before. Have you removed the curse from me?"
"No, I'll just use some small spells to try to help you overcome your current weakness."
Gilles was a little disappointed: "Okay, but it's still much better than before. Thank you again, Master Roger."
Rosen continued to ask: "Tell me, what are your personal hobbies? What are your bad habits?"
"I come from a wealthy family, I like reading, and I also like writing various scripts. As for bad habits, if writing erotic scripts is considered a bad habit, then that's my only bad habit."
Rosen was startled when he heard this: "Pornographic script. Do you like women?"
Gilles shook his head repeatedly, his face showing disgust: "No, I don't like it."
"I think most women are vulgar and stupid creatures. They are very emotional and difficult to communicate with normally and logically. They are even unreasonable."
“So there aren’t any women in my script.”
Rosen was a little puzzled: "If there are no women, how can there be eroticism?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Gilles' handsome face.
"In fact, I like men. Although the gods think it is taboo, I like them."
"Of course, it is precisely because it is a taboo that I have never practiced it. I only wrote my preferences in the script."
Rosen understood and couldn't help laughing: "Gilles, maybe it's your bad habit that angered a certain god, so he threw you into this hellhole."
Gilles' face turned pale. "Maybe. I will try to control myself in the future. But a bad habit is a bad habit because it is difficult to get rid of it."
Rosen shrugged: "Indeed."
As they were talking, the two returned to the outskirts of Blue Stone City again.
Gilles was still a little scared and was obviously silent, following Rosen without saying a word.
Rosen left all the work of playing the Cologne knight and guarding to Lai Fu.
He was riding a horse, his body was lazy, his eyes were alert, and one hand was always on the hilt of the sword, looking exactly like a down-and-out knight wandering the world.
There are no formal guards in the city's suburbs, only some semi-professional militia.
After they took a few steps, they were stopped by a group of militiamen.
The leading militia captain asked: "Hey~ Warrior, where are you from?"
Rosen replied lazily, "First of all, I'd like to correct one thing. I'm a knight, not a samurai. And I'm from the Kingdom of Cologne."
"What's your name?"
"Roger Gund."
"Why did the knights from the Kingdom of Cologne come to our Aoshuang?"
At this point, Rosen's five fingers grasped the hilt of the sword as if unintentionally, and he said lazily: "Okay, militia, I have said everything I need to say, and it's time to let you go."
As he spoke, a dangerous aura began to emanate from him, as if he was ready to draw his sword if anyone said any more.
Ordinary people in any world tend to bully the weak and fear the strong.
The Knights' Tournament in Bluestone City is about to be held, and there are wandering knights like Rosen everywhere, each of them is a ruthless character who is willing to risk his life.
The militia captain was indeed stunned and didn't dare to ask any more questions. However, he felt that he had lost face, so he added unwillingly.
"Man, I wish you were still as tough as you are now in Bluestone City!"
Rosen didn't say anything. He just raised his hand and made a farewell gesture unique to the Kingdom of Cologne, then continued walking forward leisurely.
Soon they arrived at a low-end hotel in the suburbs, took Gilles into the hotel bar, sat down in the corner of the bar, and asked in a low voice: "Can you drink?"
"You can eat and drink like a normal person."
"That's not bad."
Maybe it was because of the martial arts tournament, or maybe it was because of the chaos that had just occurred, but demon hunters from the church could often be seen in the outskirts of Bluestone City, and there were two of them in the lobby of this bar.
These guys scanned the area for newcomers like hounds.
Therefore, both of them kept a low profile.
Soon, the servants brought ale and rough bread.
While Rosen was eating and drinking, he quietly performed telepathic spells.
About three minutes later, he successfully contacted Adela, who lived somewhere in Blue Stone City: "Honey, I'm here."
"Very good, tell me who you are, what you look like after being dressed up, and your current location, and I will arrange for you to have a 'chance encounter' with the important person."
Rosen did as he was told.
After that, Adela replied: "Tomorrow afternoon from 1 to 3, you go to the arena on the eastern outskirts of Bluestone City. A mad giant bear will appear. The bear will pounce on a carriage. You find the right opportunity to shoot the monster with arrows to protect the carriage owner. Can you do it?"
"It's a small matter."
This was something I had agreed upon earlier with Adela.
In addition to this incident, Rosen also had a private matter of his own.
But this private matter is not easy to handle at the moment, because with his current identity, it is not convenient for him to enter Blue Stone City to do business.
It won’t be too late after we save the important person tomorrow.
After eating and drinking, Rosen walked towards the room in the backyard of the hotel.
In order to be in line with his identity as a down-and-out knight, he only booked one room, slept on the bed himself, and Gilles slept on the floor.
After entering the room and closing the door, Rosen said, "Okay, now sit still and don't move. Let me check your body carefully to see if there is any way to remove the curse."
Gilles already had great trust in Rosen, his powerful savior, and immediately sat down on the chair upon hearing this.
Rosen tested Gilles just as he had tested the orcs before.
Of course, the means are much gentler.
After some inspection, we came to a conclusion.
Its soul structure is very different from that of the humans in this world, but it has similarities with the orcs, which shows that both sides come from the same world.
There is also a special space-time structure deep in the soul. Although the fine structure cannot be seen clearly, it can be felt. It is similar to the space-time structure in the orc soul, but not the same.
Finally return to its body.
The body also has super recovery ability, even stronger than orcs, and some are similar to the vampires in Earth legends.
But there are also some inexplicable flaws that cannot be explained.
As he checked along the way, Rosen suddenly had a guess in his mind.
"Could the special structure deep within the soul be a kind of 'blueprint of life' at the subatomic level?"
The blueprint of ordinary life is recorded in elemental particles, that is, atomic molecules, that is, DNA.
If the physical body is destroyed and the DNA is cut off, the person will be dead.
But if it is recorded in a special space-time structure at the subatomic level, then the chemical and physical means that kill ordinary life will have no possibility of destroying it.
Therefore, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as enough strength and material are supplied, the person can be reborn.
Of course, this is just speculation.
But is it really like this?
How can subatomic particles and atoms communicate with each other accurately? Rosen had no idea, but he was extremely curious, so he studied it more and more carefully.
But in the end, we still lack the ability. No matter how hard we try, it is difficult to explore the essence of the space-time structure.
Time passed minute by minute, and at nine o'clock in the evening, Gilles, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly raised his hands to cover his head.
“It was like someone was talking in my head, telling me to come over.”
Before he finished speaking, Gilles stood up and walked towards the door: "Lord Roger, I... I can't control myself!"
He looked panicked.
Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately followed and comforted him.
"Then you will obey the call, and I will always follow you and protect you."
"The curse on you is very difficult, but as long as we find this summoner, it may be completely lifted."
"Because this summoner is likely the one who released the curse."
Gilles trusted Rosen very much and regarded him as his life-saving straw. Hearing this, he immediately calmed down.
He obeyed the mysterious call and walked out of the inn.
