Fishing Druid in Another World
Chapter 253 When it rains, it rains
Victor felt relieved when he heard that the migration team passed by here safely.
Rob didn't care, and Dick didn't feel anything.
The three of them stayed there.
The river turned southeast about a day's journey ahead, and the Jorani Territory was due east and north.
According to Marek, the asylum law was also implemented there, so if you want to find out more about the migration team, you have to go to Sebesh Castle further north.
Sebesh Castle is the territory of another lord, and he has a good relationship with the current Count Karlovo and Viscount Leban, so Marek suggested that the scouts go there to inquire instead of the three of them running there.
Victor agreed. The three of them escaped from the royal city, and they were already exhausted and injured one after another. They really needed to rest, otherwise if they encountered monsters or something, their bodies might be permanently damaged by the forced use of extraordinary powers.
Of course, this is Victor's wishful thinking. In fact, Rob and Dick are doing well now. He is the only one who is tired and injured.
It has to be said that the extraordinary people of this era are really a bit fragile. They are indeed much stronger than ordinary people, but they are very dependent on the support of society.
Take Victor, and even the original Dick and Rob as examples. The longest practice is only more than ten years. The conventional means of survival for ordinary people are basically ineffective for them.
For example, food, why Victor would rather starve than touch ordinary ingredients. Because for extraordinary people, ordinary food is like fat in the eyes of models.
The human body can and even needs to consume a certain amount of fat, but unless you don't want to do this job, it is not suitable to be used as a meal.
In other words, Dick is just playing bad, seeking a sense of fullness and satisfying his desires, eating and drinking without restraint.
The problem is that as a member of the Iron Wolf in the past, from a certain perspective, he was also a slave, with special people serving food, daily life, and even all expenses.
Now that he is in trouble, every day seems to be torture.
What to do in the future is put aside, rest is really urgent.
Specifically, it means to leave the chores of food, clothing, housing and transportation to others, and have a safe and quiet place to meditate. This can also be regarded as an alternative martial arts practice. If you don't practice for three days, you will be unfamiliar.
Robo has naturally passed this stage long ago, and he skipped it.
Dick also skipped it.
But it must be said that before the Void Gate is opened, the dependence on civilization is also not low.
At least there are people to serve, and many things can be more efficient.
Robo borrowed the assistance of tailors, blacksmiths, leatherworkers and other craftsmen in the inner city of Leiba, as well as the tools and places they use.
Magic chain, upgrade.
Magic sword, upgrade.
Armor, forge.
There are also more suitable clothes worn by extraordinary people, as well as regular utensils.
For example, survival knives, water bags, flints, cycling bags, rations, potions, etc.
For this, Robo also paid most of the extraordinary materials from the water monster.
Although he is cruel and ruthless, he will not owe karma for no reason, because with his current ability, even if he cannot directly touch the higher laws such as karma, fate, and time, he can still vaguely perceive their mysteries.
As the saying goes, mortals fear the consequences, Bodhisattvas fear the causes, and equal exchange is meaningful in any universe.
With the services provided by civilized society, it only took two days for Rob to deal with the three people.
This time, as long as they are not really stupid, they will never be regarded as ordinary people.
Robo joked: "People always judge people by appearance. I am also trying to avoid being harassed by those ignorant people. Although it is easy to crush bugs and ants, it is not a pleasant feeling to be insulted beforehand and disgusted afterwards. I would rather avoid it if I can."
Victor was speechless and thought: "Is it because you dressed us up so beautifully? I am more concerned about how you suddenly became a master of strange things, knowing everything about forging, leather making, and fabrics."
But it is still the same reason. Victor is a man who is very restrained on the outside and does a big job on the inside.
One of the ideas of such a person is that as long as I can keep calm, you will inevitably show more of your hoofs and claws, and even take the initiative to confess your secrets to me.
In Robo's opinion, this is also good. Anyway, he just wants to be as comfortable as possible in the transition stage. Specifically, the less acting, the better.
Now he doesn't have to act much, and Victor pretends that the years are peaceful and doesn't ask him or bother him. From the perspective of the result, isn't this a win-win situation?
So, being confused is a kind of wisdom in life. No matter what the reason is, if you achieve it, you can enjoy its results.
Some people enjoy it comfortably, while others feel that it is a kind of unwilling and reluctant endurance.
Then just endure it, the overall situation is more important.
On the afternoon of the third day, no more news from the migration team came, but Viscount Lebanese came.
Robo has always been impatient with this kind of interpersonal social interaction. Being powerful also makes him disdain to pretend to be a normal person too much. Being cold and arrogant is already a kind of endurance with a certain pretense.
Viscount Lebanese, who opens his mouth to serve his people and closes his mouth to serve his lord, is used to being a good lord relied on by the people. This time he returned, he naturally brought a master to try to slay demons and exorcise monsters.
"Sacred Heart Society?" Robo learned about the origin of the master invited by the Viscount from Victor who came back after the meeting.
The original Robo had heard of the name of this organization, but didn't know much about it.
Unlike the Iron Wolf, whose route is more down-to-earth, the Sacred Heart Society is an organization that takes the route of seclusion.
But to say that he has completely detached himself from the world and played by himself behind closed doors is not the case.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a great reputation in the mortal world.
He was usually very noble, and you couldn't invite him even if you visited him three times.
But now he has become a mortal.
Robo felt that he was not really noble, but just didn't have enough benefits. Didn't this chaotic world come with the spiritual tide? This kind of organization began to stir up trouble.
"Did you reach a shelter and support agreement with Karlovo?"
"I didn't talk about this topic. I didn't know him well, so I didn't ask." Victor answered.
"It's better to ask clearly if there is a chance. I remember that the location of the organization is in the Zhengdong Province. It's possible that the Jorani Territory is also regarded as its jurisdiction. If possible, it's better to avoid our place of residence."
"Well... the Viscount is holding a dinner tonight to entertain the monk Felice, and he will also host us. I agree." Victor agreed with Robo's statement. Since he didn't plan to borrow the power of the Sacred Heart Society, he would stay away from it to avoid being annoyed by others and being used by them.
Robo chuckled: "Banquet? I'm afraid he wants to take the opportunity to ask something."
Victor was silent. He thought so too.
What did Iron Wolf encounter in the Royal City? He believed in Viscount Leban and wanted to hear the person involved.
Of course, he and Robo had different ideas.
In his opinion, this was a good opportunity to defend himself.
Robo did not value Iron Wolf's reputation as much as Victor did, and would not take clearing the stigma as one of his future goals.
Moreover, Robo felt that clarifying the stigma in the name of an upcoming dinner was passive in itself, just like facing a personnel assessor at a company recruitment fair.
Not to mention that it was empty talk and lack of persuasiveness, just talking about qualifications, Viscount Leban and even Brother Felice, were qualified to be assessors?
Robo felt that they were not qualified.
Even without mentioning his true identity, as a member of Iron Wolf, a young noble and a reclusive monk who mostly talked about nothing, he was not qualified to assess the monks who practiced and learned the truth...
As night fell, the dinner arrived as scheduled.
Robo did not make things difficult for Victor and attended the banquet.
When they met and exchanged greetings, Robo glanced at Phyllis, responded to the introduction politely, and then stopped talking, just chewing and drinking slowly.
Phyllis felt a little unhappy. Robo's previous glance made him feel offended.
Generally speaking, out of basic etiquette, extraordinary people will not rashly use insight-type perception to explore the body of another extraordinary person. This is a respect for personal privacy.
But Robo did not have this courtesy. In fact, the look he revealed made Phyllis more unhappy than the act of exploration itself.
It was not the more common aggressive look with arrogance and willfulness, but a look of contempt, like an adult looking at an interested cat or dog.
What made Phyllis feel a chill in his heart while being annoyed was that in the face of such a look, he actually felt that his soul was seen through by the other party, even though Robo's glance only lasted for a total of two seconds.
In the end, Phyllis chose to put the overall situation first.
He even took the initiative to approach Victor and the other two with a bit of flattery.
He had done some homework beforehand, including asking Marek about the whole process of the water monster being killed. When he met Victor, he noticed Victor's magical equipment, and now he has seen Rob's powerful telekinesis that is as real as substance.
In general, hearing about a person is not as good as meeting him, and meeting him is better than hearing about him.
So Phyllis not only did not ask Tielang about his experience in the royal city, but took the initiative to explain to the nobles, mainly the viscount, about Clement VI's perverse actions and Tielang's chivalrous act of not associating with evil and saving righteous people when he was in the royal city.
From a certain perspective, this is equivalent to the Sacred Heart Society endorsing Tielang.
At the same time, it also shows the intelligence capabilities of the Sacred Heart Society.
After hearing this, the viscount and other nobles naturally had a good impression of Tielang.
It's not a chivalrous act, the key is to stand in line.
Clement VI's behavior was tantamount to betraying the relationship between the feudal lord and the vassal, and trampling on the highest and most basic unspoken rules jointly formulated by the nobles.
Then the Iron Wolf tried its best to protect the victims of this betrayal, which means that for the nobles who are willing to abide by the feudal rules, the Iron Wolf is a friend who can unite and be close, a potential ally, and a high-level thug.
Especially now that the Iron Wolf is falling apart, the headquarters is destroyed, the master has died, and the remaining people have no place to stay. Under the mist of the spiritual tide, the demonic trouble is getting worse. In this case, if you don't recruit and compare extraordinary people like the Iron Wolf, it will be a betrayal of the basic qualities of the lord.
So there were a series of performances at the banquet, some were extremely flattering, some were united against the enemy, some were describing big cakes, and some were directly delivering the real stuff, such as matchmaking for the youngest Rob, a sister, a daughter, and a rich dowry...
Compared to these small nobles who gathered because of the asylum order, Phyllis's real stuff seemed full of sincerity and more stylish.
After the banquet, during the private chat, Phyllis asked Victor if he had killed a genius from the Magic Machinery Group when he was in the royal city.
Victor did not admit it directly, but he did not deny it either.
Phyllis said, "Justice is always bullied by meanness. In that massacre, you did not have the heart to hurt innocent mortals, but those mortals betrayed you in return for your kindness.
The Magic Machinery Group is relatively active in the Jorani Territory, and a bounty has been issued for your arrest."
Victor felt somewhat unbelievable after hearing this.
After all, their uncle Hillman was the court advisor of Grand Duke Jorani.
Did the Magic Machinery Group take the Imperial Master too lightly?
However, precisely because of this absurdity, Victor did not think that Phyllis would lie about such an easily exposed issue.
Then, if you use your brain a little, you can think of the situation behind this news-Hillman might have been in trouble.
In fact, this is exactly the "bite" left by Phyllis.
As long as Victor asks about Hillman's situation, it is equivalent to asking Phyllis in return.
Phyllis only needs to use the information collected by the intelligence agency of the Sacred Heart Society to at least make Victor owe a favor.
Credit, favors, at least in this era, this society, most people still value this. Therefore, it is worth a lot.
Victor really wanted to ask.
But this person is more thoughtful, even if the words are on the tip of his tongue, he has to think about it before speaking.
Therefore, he will not ask back on this topic as soon as Phyllis says it.
Victor just thanked him. In the words of the East, this is considered a one-time encounter, a pleasant conversation, and a kind of affection, but it is relatively shallow.
Looking back, the party was over, and Victor naturally informed Dick and Robo of the situation and discussed with them.
Robo said: "It's okay to have a taste of the information of the Sacred Heart Society, but it's not easy to eat it deeply. Master Hillman has been famous for a long time, and he did a great job alone in the past. I think we should have more confidence in him.
On the contrary, the migration team needs to catch up as soon as possible. It's better not to join this leader of Jolani."
Dick pointed at Robo and said to Victor: "I agree with this statement."
"Then we will leave tomorrow."
"No, we will leave now. It's only at night, and it won't have much impact."
Victor thought about it and nodded: "I will say goodbye to the viscount."...
Viscount Leban was naturally very regretful. A good opportunity to recruit people just slipped away.
But Victor and his party had a good reason to leave. The Magic Machinery Group is not like the Sacred Heart Society. Although it is also an ancient organization, it has always been domineering and has a bad reputation.
Even they themselves are embarrassed to say that they are good people, but they say they are both good and evil.
If the families of Victor and his two friends fall into the hands of such an organization, even if they are successfully recruited, it will be difficult for them to truly play their value in a short time, and they may even cause trouble.
Of course, danger and opportunity coexist, and this time is a good opportunity to win people's hearts.
Unfortunately, no matter how long Karlovo has a long history, it is only a count family, which is not enough to compete with the Magic Machinery Group and cannot provide shelter.
In the end, Lebanese can only provide some services within his ability and earn some small favors.
For example, he gave Victor a token and a simple letter, even including the name, address, and contact information, so that Victor and his two friends would have the opportunity to meet the scouts who set out first to inquire about the situation of the migration team, and obtain some information and simple services from them.
In this way, Victor and his two friends traveled overnight to Sebesh Castle.
They wanted to make a forced march and strive to reach Sebesh Castle tomorrow morning, but something happened halfway...
