Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Thorn Guardian is indeed very strong, but its effect is much smaller against beings of the fourth rank and above.

Milair has broken through the Thorn Guardian's defenses before and withstood the Thorn Guardian's counter-damage.

What's the reason?

Luo Xiu thought about it but couldn't come to a conclusion.

Old White, who understood the world far better than him, couldn't even figure out the specific reason, so it was even more difficult for him to think of it.

But one thing is certain.

If Count Larry finds Grimes, his identity will soon be exposed.

One thought comes to this,

Luo Xiu became even more certain of the idea he had before coming here.

Old White on the other side continued speaking:

"Now that the bad news is over, let's have some good news."

"The nobles you kidnapped this time saved the capital a lot of trouble, especially since Larry's third son was among them. The reward from there has come down."

"You turned Frey to the enemy?"

Luo Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

This result doesn't seem too surprising. There are countless examples in history of sons killing their fathers, and judging from previous events, this third son of the lord of Bandanda doesn't seem to be particularly favored.

Old Huai nodded:

"It's almost time. When news came from Bandanda, Larry didn't ask any more questions after hearing that his third son was alright. He just told him to return to Bandanda as soon as possible."

"On the contrary, he showed unusual concern for his youngest son."

"Frey already harbored resentment, and with the additional measures we've taken, it's only a matter of time before things get better."

As Old White spoke, he took a pocket watch out of his pocket and placed it in front of Luo Xiu:

"This is the reward they gave us."

Luo Xiu picked up the pocket watch.

It was a pocket watch with a retro look, paired with a black watch chain. The whole watch had a rustic cast iron texture, engraved with some simple patterns, and the surface looked dull.

Luo Xiu gently pressed the button on the pocket watch, and the cover opened.

Inside is just a very ordinary watch face, covered with transparent glass.

Luo Xiu fiddled with his pocket watch and said:

"what is this?"

"It's just an ordinary pocket watch."

Old White chuckled softly:

"What's different is its dial; the glass covering the dial is called the [Crystal of Twisted Fate]."

"These crystals typically grow in war-torn areas on the western side of the continent."

"Its effect is simple: it can partially distort the predictive abilities of mages and bards, and its effects can cover you and those closely related to you."

"I have one too."

Old White smiled and pointed to his monocle.

"You can try channeling magic into it. Although it's much weaker at distorting magic than predictive skills, you should still be able to feel it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu tried channeling his magic into the pocket watch in his hand. Indeed, he could feel the magic being distorted to some extent as it passed through the watch face.

"They put out the fire just in time!" Luo Xiu exclaimed.

He looked at old White across from him and said:

"You applied for this specifically for me, didn't you?"

Old White didn't deny it, but simply smiled and took an envelope from his pocket, handing it to Luo Xiu:

"This wasn't the original reward. I've suffered quite a bit for this pocket watch. Of course, I'm not giving it to you for free, kid."

"I want you to deliver a letter for me."

"In Kanriel."

Old White thought Roth would hesitate.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xiu put the envelope away without a second thought and said with a smile:

"I was just about to tell you that I'm going to Kanril next."

"Part of the reason I came tonight is to say goodbye to you, old White."

"The good news I haven't told you yet is that after Milair returned to Bandanda, he received a high reward from the Knights' headquarters as the leader of this great victory."

"The higher-ups proposed promoting her from fifth to third place, but because of the current turmoil in Bandanda, they plan to first transfer her to Kanril for a period of study."

"Besides, I also happen to want to go see other places."

Bandanda can't stay any longer.

At the two intersections in Wheel Town, one leads to Bandanda, and the other only leads to Kanril.

Old White chuckled to himself:

“I had prepared a whole bunch of reasons to persuade you, after all, Kanriel is not a comfortable place, but I didn’t expect it to turn out this way.”

He looked at Luo Xiu and slowly said:

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it incredible. What happened this time is simply a miracle."

"Little Luo Xiu, I will be taking Vulture with me to the capital. If any of the townspeople in Wheel Town want to go, I will take them with me as well."

“I originally wanted to bring you along, but I sounded out their intentions, and they weren’t willing to take any more risks for you after they found out Larry went to see Graham.”

"Actually, it's better not to go. Wangdu is not a good place; it's a giant birdcage."

"No matter how many extraordinary and gifted rare birds are in that cage, they are still just birds in a cage."

"A true genius would never be content to be trapped in that place for the rest of his life."

"Let's go to Kanril. It's not a pleasant place, but it's much more interesting than Bandanda."

"Since you, Old White, say it's interesting, I'm even more determined to go and see it."

Luo Xiu said with a smile.

He was really looking forward to it.

His exploration and understanding of this unknown fantasy continent is probably less than one ten-thousandth.

Now that he has a certain level of strength to protect himself, whether it's to kill monsters to improve his strength or to experience more novel scenery, he plans to travel around.

It was worth the time travel.

"when are we leaving?"

Old White spoke softly.

"Finish this cup of tea."

Luo Xiu said with a smile.

Old Huai nodded:

"Give that letter to a man named Tata when you get to Kanriel. He's very famous there, so you can ask him for it."

"Delivery guaranteed."

Luo Xiu sipped his tea slowly, then suddenly seemed to remember something:

"By the way, Old White, if I have a batch of skeletons here, can you use necromancy to find out who the owner of these skeletons is?"

As he spoke, he took out a necklace made of skulls from his magic pocket, much to old White's astonishment.

……

Meanwhile, in a secluded alley on the outskirts of Bandanda.

The pale moonlight poured down, but it did little to brighten the alley. Instead, it reflected on the bluestone slabs of the alley, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

This alley usually seems deserted, its branches growing crookedly and covered in moss.

At the entrance of the alley, litter was scattered by passersby.

But the deeper parts of the alley are much cleaner.

Because no one except the residents of this alley is willing to come in.

But of all things, someone came in today.

The newcomer appeared to be exceptionally tall and was wearing a tattered black cloak.

It is evident that this incredibly simple cloak was carefully selected by him, as the gold-stitched cuffs under the cloak and the pair of custom-made high-end leather boots already revealed his status.

Someone who can afford these boots would never own a cloak like this.

Perhaps it was obtained from one of the servants.

He stood in front of a wooden door at the end of the alley and gently knocked on it a few times.

In fact, he had already done that half an hour earlier.

But there was no response.

According to the information he received, after knocking on the door the first time, one must wait half an hour before knocking again before there is any chance of being allowed to enter.

crunch--

The wooden door was opened from the inside.

A boy-like figure emerged from behind the door, dressed in standard children's clothing, and looked towards the cloaked figure outside.

"Hello, you must be Earl Larry?"
