"No matter what, the door is already open, but why isn't there anyone inside? Although the Guard Captain was in pain, he was still very professional. He scanned the surroundings as he spoke to the young man. He only found a suspicious-looking blanket on the ground, with half a piece of black bread and water beside it. However, there was no sign of the person in question.
"Hmm … I wonder if you've considered other possibilities … such as … he's being stepped on by you." Rob pointed at the door under the Knight's feet. Half of a small hand was peeking out from the gap between the door and the ground, twitching unconsciously.
"Don't worry. As long as you and I don't say anything, no one will know that you're enforcing the law in a barbaric manner," the young man comforted.
Kenneth was given a fright and hurriedly jumped down. He opened the door and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy lying on the ground. He was dressed in a standard hero's attire, and he was slightly thin. He had a delicate face and short black hair that reached his ears. His tightly shut eyes showed that he was unconscious.
"This kid was probably leaning on the door and listening to our movements. You KO'd him in an instant." Rob placed his finger under the little shota's nose. Both of them heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that he was still breathing.
"Who is he? Why is he staying in your house? "The Guard Captain asked after confirming that the kid was in no danger.
"For now, I'm more inclined to believe that he's a pitiful soul who can't afford to stay in an inn. In order to save money, he found an empty house and stayed here," the future Supreme Mage, Your Honor, analyzed.
Rob's speculation was not unreasonable. Following the discovery of the underground city in the Endless Sea of Trees, more and more adventurers were heading to Ryan. Although the town had recently built four new inns, compared to the huge number of adventurers, the demand could not meet the supply. Furthermore, the price of the rooms was ridiculously expensive. It was no different from robbery. Many adventurers who were short of money would choose to stay in the houses of the local residents to save a lot of money.
The shota before them was obviously one of the worse ones. He couldn't even afford to stay, so he could only sleep in Rob's house secretly.
"Let's ask him when he wakes up," Kenneth said.
"Or, we can search him while he is unconscious to see if there is anything suspicious on his body." Rob said as he reached out to Zheng Tai's chest.
In the next moment, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor jumped up from the ground as if he had been bitten by something. This was probably the highest jump Rob had ever made in his life. Even with his otaku physique, he almost hit the roof.
The Guard Captain was shocked. "How are you? Are you alright? Did you get bitten by some poisonous creature?"
Kenneth was not speaking carelessly. He saw with his own eyes that a strange blush appeared on the boy's face, spreading from his cheeks to his ears at an incredible speed. The spread of the poison was unbelievably fast, especially the horrified expression on Rob's face, which was the best proof.
"I, I … I …" the future Supreme Magister stuttered. It could be seen that this unknown poison was really powerful. In a short period of time, it had already destroyed the part of the boy's nervous system that controlled speech.
The knight was very anxious. In many stories, if someone was unfortunate enough to be bitten by a poisonous snake in the wild, they could choose to cut off their limbs to save their life. However, no one said what to do when the poison had spread to the head. They couldn't just cut off their head with a sword, right?
What's more, he didn't have a suitable weapon at the moment. Kenneth turned his gaze to the little boy who was still unconscious on the ground. His heart skipped a beat. Right, since he was the one who poisoned him, then he must have the antidote on him!
The Guard Captain made a prompt decision and was about to rush forward to find the antidote. However, he heard Rob shouting anxiously, "Don't! Don't touch him!"
"Eh? Are you alright? " Kenneth turned his head and found that the boy's face had returned to normal. Only a trace of embarrassment remained in his eyes, which meant that his heart was not as calm as it looked on the surface.
"I just reconsidered your suggestion. I think it's better if we wait for him to wake up before asking him." Rob took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Hmm, what are you up to this time?" The guard captain was puzzled by the young man's sudden change in behavior.
"Anyway, it might be a long night. I don't know when he will wake up. Why don't I go downstairs and buy some supper? We can eat while we wait." The boy was panicking. He randomly found an excuse to leave the room and cool down in the cold wind outside.
"Supper? Sure. "Kenneth nodded." But do you know if there are any places selling supper at this time of the day? "
"Uh …" The future Supreme Magister Your Honor's brain capacity was obviously not enough.
"That's why it's better for you to stay and take care of him. I'll go buy some supper. You can also ask someone to tell my family that I won't be going back tonight." The guard captain patted the young man's shoulder and walked out the door.
Thus, Luo Bu became anxious and blurted out, "No, no, you can't leave me with him."
"Eh, why not?"
"Because …" The young man was quick-witted. "Because … I can't beat him. No one knows if he's a good guy or a bad guy. Besides, you just attacked him with the door plank. What if he wants to take revenge after he wakes up? If you just leave, I'll be the one in trouble."
"Hmm, what you said makes sense. Let's tie him up."
"Huh?!"
"He should be safe if he's tied up." The captain of the guards seemed to be serious, and he did what he said he would do. He borrowed a rope from the neighbor and tied Shota up like a dumpling.
"You, you, you …" The young man at the side was dumbfounded.
It was obvious that this was not the first time Kenneth had done this. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. After he was done, he handed over a small stool and said apologetically, "I really can't find any weapons. You can make do with this. If he does anything dangerous, use this to smash his head."
Rob took the stool in a daze. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the Guard Captain had already gone downstairs.
Damn it! How did this happen? Unknowingly, only the boy and Shota were left in the room. No, it would be more accurate to call her a girl.
Recalling the soft touch that came from his fingertips, the 18 year old virgin's face began to burn.
Although the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, was known as the hope of the human race and the dream lover of all the girls in the Academy of Magic, was ranked in the top 10 of the "I want to marry the most" and "Your ideal lover" lists, and was lucky enough to be ranked in the top 50 of the "If you fall in love with this man, it'll be hard to reject" list of the elves, the boy's experience with the opposite sex was pitiful. It was not until he was 16 years old that Rob fully understood the biological differences between men and women. He had to rely on an alchemy book given to him by the academic dean. In one of the chapters, there was a brief summary of the human body's structure.
