Chapter 5 Extraordinary Power

There are different scenery outside the town at midnight: the rustling sound of leaves when they are blown by the wind, the crisp sound of insects, and the slight sound of small animals running and foraging among the grass and shrubs... Various sounds are mixed together, making the night here appear peaceful and noisy. This is a land that has not been destroyed by civilization, with the purest primitive atmosphere. The breeze blowing from time to time brings the coolness of the evening to make people feel energetic.

Stopped, Roger looked behind him: "It's time to show up after following him for so long."

Several figures walked out of the darkness, the group of people I saw when I left the tavern.

Looking at the young man standing among the group of people, from the fact that others naturally protected him, Roger knew that he had read it wrong. The young man was a noble child, and the others were Harroken's colleagues - the noble guards.

The nobles are privileged classes. They attach great importance to their lives. Those who can become noble guards are all skilled in martial arts. The other party can take several guards out at a young age. Either the family has a great power or this young man has an extraordinary status in the family.

Although Roger is not sure who the other party is, one thing he can be sure of is that his cheap father, Baron Vernon, and his cheap brother, will have a big trouble.

The human kingdom of this world is still in the stage of feudal system. The nobles have their own territory. They can collect taxes, recruit soldiers, and train their troops. The resources of the entire territory, including the people, are the property of the nobles. It can be said that in the territory, the nobles are heaven and law.

Strictly speaking, the royal family of the kingdom is actually just a powerful noble.

As the ruling class of the kingdom, the nobles must abide by certain rules while enjoying the privileges brought by their identity. These rules are sometimes useless, but sometimes they can take human life.

Take the territory under the rule of the nobles, the nobles have the responsibility to maintain the security of the territory and cannot let the territory turmoil or even affect the stability of the kingdom, otherwise the noble parliament will hold them accountable.

Generally, this regulation is of no use, but under certain conditions, if it is activated, the nobles targeted will be fined at the least, and the nobles will be reduced at the worst. If the nobles cannot solve the problems in the territory, they will even be deprived of their territory.

The deprived territory will be discussed and dealt with by the nobles' council. This negotiation process is an opportunity for some people to take action. In fact, such things are not uncommon in the kingdom. Some descendants who cannot inherit the title are the protagonists. Most of the small families with weak strength, no backers, or weak foundations end in a tragedy.

Things are already very obvious.

Roger was 100% sure that the young man opposite was brought to Baron Vernon. Who made Baron Vernon's foundation shallow? If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war more than ten years ago, Vernon would have become a knight of a nobleman in his life, and wouldn't have become a baron?

Compared with those old aristocrats who have been operating for more than ten years or even hundreds of years, what is it like to have a new aristocrat like Baron Vernon that has no shallow foundation? How can such a piece of fat not attract the hearts of some noble children who cannot inherit the title?

"Roger Vernon?"

The young man opposite seemed to be asking about Roger's identity, or talking to himself. In this quiet night, his voice was low, but it was heard in everyone present.

This kid really knows me, or to be precise, he recognizes me, but he does his homework well.

Roger did not answer because he had no need to answer, and the young man opposite didn't need him to answer, and the other party did not say it to Roger, but to his guards.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the guards saw Roger's eyes shining, and they felt as if they had accidentally caught a big fish. They were particularly surprised and excited, and they were almost at the level of dancing.

Without using the young man's instructions, several guards looked at each other, and three rushed towards Roger one by one, two by the other.

For these guards who want to help their master seize Baron Vernon's escort, Roger, the eldest son of the baron who pretended to die, is immeasurable. If Roger can be captured and controlled by his master, their success rate will increase greatly.

"Catch me?"

Roger curled his lips.

Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.

Without seeing how Roger was doing, three figures suddenly came out from the ground and happened to block the three guards' route.

The young nobles' guards were also experienced in many battles and did not panic against the sudden enemy. Their forward momentum increased instead of reducing, and they used the high speed during charge to cut out their weapons. The force was several points heavier than usual.

puff!

Puff!

One, two, and three muffled sounds, the guard's weapon hit the target, and the sharp sword blade completely stabbed in.

However, there was no joy on the guard's face.

"Be careful, it's an elemental creature!"

The guards who did not follow the forward but protected the young nobles clearly saw what was stabbed by their companions. They were three human-shaped clay men. The bodies of these three clay men were mixed with a lot of gravel, which was much more resistant to beating than those of pure clay men. The swords of the three guards only made a tunnel on them, and could not cut off their bodies.

"I'll entangle them, you can go around."

The guard who rushed to the front responded very quickly and knew that the three of them could not solve the opponent for a while. So he turned the sword and circled the three clay men into his battle circle, creating an opportunity for the two companions behind him. His two companions did not hesitate at all, and seized the opportunity to change direction and bypassed the clay men, and still headed towards Roger.

Should I say I am worthy of being an elite?

Roger shrugged, and wanted to catch him like this, really think that his elemental control ability is a decoration?

Before the two guards could come up, six clay figures appeared and cut off the two guards.

The three guards were tripped by nine clay men and could not break through for a while.

He was a little surprised by this scene. What he didn't expect was that Roger, who was mediocre in his investigation, was actually a spellcaster and his combat power was not low.

"If you can only do this level, you still can't leave."

The young nobles were very confident. This confidence came from their own strength. If they really fought against the nine clay figures, they would be able to stop his guard for a while, and they would not guarantee Roger's safety at all.

Of course, Roger showed his strength, and the young nobles began to look at him directly.

"I will introduce myself. I am Fah of the Snaev family, the third son of Viscount Snaev, and I am currently an apprentice knight."

Roger's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't know or recognize Viscount Snaius and Fah, but the original memory of the original Roger who left him was in the four words "Adventurer".

The word knight sometimes represents a status, such as being appointed as a knight by the nobles, and thus entering the ruling class, sometimes representing a kind of power, a level of power that transcends ordinary people. In the memory obtained by Roger, there is a decisive factor in why Baron Vernon was able to get a baron, Vernon himself was a bronze-level knight.

Is there another extraordinary power in this world besides spells? I happened to see it today.
