Chapter 12

Only after we returned to the mercenary group did we realize that Daxio and Rees of the Warrior Mercenary Group came back earlier than us.It seems that the five days of my illness were staggered.

After resting all night, Allen took me to find Dacio.Although it was just to help deal with Gage's affairs at first, but now that he participated, he still wanted to find out what was going on inside.

Was Gage parasitized by the magic plant?What happened to that teleportation?Why is Gage crazy?

The four of them sat down in the tavern, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.When we first set off, we actually had a lot of luck, thinking that Gage wasn't parasitized.Besides, even if it is confirmed, it should be three or four months later, so don't worry too much now.

Who knew, Gage was dead so soon, we returned without success and were right back where we were.

"By the time Rees and I arrived in the capital, the news of Gage's death had already spread." Dacio rubbed the space between his eyebrows a little tiredly.Gage has been with them for many years, and he must have felt uncomfortable, "After I found out about this, I begged my father to find out the details of the interrogation. Dead. Even if you can't do anything about those people temporarily, you have to figure out what's going on. I don't believe that a day of interrogation can drive Gage crazy, unless those people used extremely harsh methods in the first place. The results are shocking. It's unbelievable that the first day of interrogation only used whips and branding irons as instruments of torture, and they were more verbally intimidating. They described to Gage the use of dozens of instruments of torture in the torture chamber, as well as the nobles' excuses. Hundreds of tortures invented by lynching. Then Gage went crazy, first crying and yelling, saying he is not Gage, he doesn't know what they are asking. Said that teleportation ability is his natural ability. After He was crazy again, and murmured some incomprehensible words. Based on this, it is basically certain that Gage was indeed parasitized by the magic plant. But I don’t know how the magic plant evolved, so that he can move instantly. The language we don't understand is probably the language Mozhi communicates with each other..."

I listened quietly at first, but the more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong.It is true that these abnormalities can be explained as the evolution of magic plants.But is there another possibility?Just like me, I inexplicably attached to Mai Ni when he was seriously injured and dying, and because of that puzzle, my strength also greatly increased.And now the invisible "wallet" in my hand, a unique space, is also something that does not exist in this world.Am I supposed to assume that this eccentric Gage is of similar origins to me?Could that chattering language be the original language of the possessor?

I trembled, thinking about telling a few people close to me about the "purse", but Gage's incident was a wake-up call.Even if you trust the people around you, just in case.The greed and cruelty of those nobles are beyond my imagination. If I let them know about my anomaly, I am afraid they will also list me as a crime, and then torture me to get the so-called secret.In fact, there is no secret, how do you explain the inexplicable things that don't know where they come from?

If that "Gage"'s teleportation ability came about in the same way, he would be too wronged, because he really couldn't explain it.Maybe he is from the same earth as me?But I have little sympathy and kindness for him.Because he took over my friend's body and immediately forgot about Gage's sick old mother.Such people, no matter where they come from, their character is not very good.Even if he is alive, I don't bother to care about his affairs.

I have no relatives in the original world, but here I have Yige and Alan, and this is my whole world.

Since the suspected "citizen" is dead, there is no need to think about it.

"How's Gage's mother?" I asked.She deserves more of my attention.

"The condition has worsened again," Reese said with a sad face on the side, "The captain has taken her to the mercenary regiment to recuperate, but she was not in good health, and she has survived for several years for Gage. Now we also I didn’t dare to tell her the truth, but only said that Gage’s strength had greatly increased, and he went out to travel alone. She seemed relieved, and said that fortunately, her son had grown up, and Gage was always worried that she would die. Now that he is able to be independent, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have her in the future. Both the doctor and the priest said that she might not last long."

Allen and I were silent when we heard the words.

After being quiet for a while, Dacio pulled out a forced smile and said, "Alan, I'm afraid I will be returning to the capital soon."

Allen asked in surprise, "Go back to the capital? What do you mean?"

"My father is getting old, and he wants me to return to the capital and join the Royal Guard. Moreover, he no longer objects to my marriage with Martha. After arriving in the capital, he will hold a wedding for us."

Allen was silent for a while, "...What about the Warrior Mercenary Group?"

"Originally, one mercenary group was split into two, and now it needs to be merged. I have already talked with the core members of the mercenary group, and they have no opinion on the merger and you as the head of the group. And Mani Now that I have broken through the yellow fighting spirit, it is only a matter of time before I become a golden fighter. I was worried about the decline in the strength of the mercenary group after I left, but now I have nothing to worry about. I will leave it to you in the future, okay? "

Allen smiled bitterly, "You've already said that, can I not agree?"

Only then did Dacio laugh, "I can rest assured only if I leave it to you. I can have nothing else to do when I return to the capital."

Allen raised his glass, "Congratulations, you are about to return home with a beautiful woman."

Reese and I also raised our glasses to congratulate Dacio.Marriage is of course a good thing.

However, one of the two gold fighters who have worked together for many years is leaving, and I always feel a little regretful.I was full of unpleasant thoughts while drinking.You still have to work hard to become a gold fighter as soon as possible, otherwise Allen will be too tired if the burden is not on him alone.

"Thinking about?", Alan asked me on the way back.

"Will you go back too? Someday in the future", Daxio's decision made me start thinking about this question.After all, the parents are there, it is impossible not to go back forever, right?If he really wants to go back to the capital, should I go with him, or stay for the rest of the mercenary group?

"Me? I won't go back to the capital. Maybe I will go back for a while, but I won't stay in the capital forever."

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing how relieved I was, he laughed, "My family and Dasio's family are both from military families, and my father and his father are both rigid and serious people who treat their sons like their own soldiers Same. We practiced martial arts since we were young, and we had nothing else to do. Because of this depressive environment, we couldn’t wait to leave the capital after we became adults, and went out on our own. But Dacio and his father did not The fundamental contradiction is that his father is not satisfied with his fiancée. Moreover, Dacio himself is the kind of person who is extremely serious and responsible. He has a strong sense of responsibility to the family. But sooner or later he will return to the capital and accept the future arranged by his father. I know this, Dacio knows it himself, and his father knows it. But my situation is different. I have several brothers, Is it the appearance or personality that resembles my father. They all make my father very satisfied. And I look like my mother from the inside out, the appearance is too soft, the personality is too sensitive, etc. Anyway, my father is not very satisfied with me. I His existence is dispensable to him. And I told him long ago that I would not marry a woman. That alone is enough for us to have a complete fallout. So you don't have to worry about me going back to the capital. I am not in My father would probably be more at ease with the capital city embarrassing me."

I shook my head, not knowing what to say.But hearing him say that he won't go back to the capital still made me breathe a sigh of relief.I am very satisfied.
