After saying this, the woman waited quietly in the woods.
After a few minutes, a black figure quickly came out of the woods in the direction of the manor.
"Did the branch send you this time? Why are you so short of manpower? "The black figure asked with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, sir. We're the only ones who are free now. "The woman in green bowed her head and answered respectfully. "Your application came at a bad time, most of the forces have been transferred away."
"Forget it, your Tree Shade isn't that bad. It's just that you're not good at the task I requested. I'm sorry, I wasn't looking down on you. "The black figure's tone softened slightly.
"I understand. It's good that you understand. "The woman in green still bowed her head, no expression could be seen.
"The situation in the Lush Forest isn't good now, a few great lords have bad intentions. I need you to defeat a bandit group as a deterrent to show your strength. Are you confident? "The black figure asked in a low voice.
"That's not a problem. But to be able to mobilize us, it must not be an ordinary bandit, right? "The Tree Shade woman raised her head and asked.
"Of course, this bandit group makes a lot of money every year, but their whereabouts are unknown. We suspect that they're the force behind a great lord. In terms of strength, there are probably two General-level, and we can't rule out unknown external help. "The black figure replied.
"No problem. Please give us the specific target later. "The Tree Shade woman nodded.
"Be careful, they might be backed by a Luminarist …" The black figure warned in a low voice.
The Tree Shade woman squinted her eyes and nodded gently.
The black figure was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped. "There's another small matter, send someone to test Vanderman." Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed in her mind. "Let's test his son Acacia first. Vanderman is old and experienced, I always feel that they're hiding something."
"Yes." The Tree Shade woman bowed her head.
"If Vanderman is only strong in appearance, then we need to rearrange the plan. I heard that there was a conflict between two Luminarists in his territory, and Vanderman was injured in an experiment, so he didn't find out in time. His son was almost caught in the conflict. This time, I want to see if he's really injured. If he's not strong enough, as a warning, kill his son. "The black figure said lightly," Don't get caught. "
"Understood."
The Tree Shade woman watched the shadow disappear into the darkness, and the footsteps gradually faded away until it completely disappeared.
"Other than Diaz, everyone else will be involved in this operation." She said softly, as if she was talking to the others. "I'll ride you and deal with the two General-level warriors. You guys try your best to eliminate all the bandits. Since the contact person doesn't like us, we have to show her actual results. "
"Yes." Suddenly, the voices of several people came from behind her. There were men and women, young and old.
"Diaz." The Tree Shade woman turned around and looked behind her. "Go test Vanderman Manor. Be careful."
"Got it, Big Sister." A dark green shadow replied from the shadows. Her voice was crisp and cold. It was obviously a young woman. "Don't worry, we are Archers. As long as we don't get too close, even Vanderman won't be able to stop us from escaping if he isn't prepared."
"You're just a low-level general." A woman's disdainful voice came from the darkness. "Without the weakening powder, you're just a bug in front of a Luminarist."
"Mind your own business." Diaz snorted. She turned and walked quickly away.
Until she had completely left the Big Sister's position. Only then did she stop walking.
Chi!
She stabbed her sword into the tree trunk in front of her, causing the leaves to fall down.
"One day, I'll kill you!" She said in a low voice.
*****
Two days later …
Splash!
Garon crawled out of the bathtub. His naked upper body was covered in light green liquid.
He wiped his face, took a black towel and dried his hair and upper body. Then, he got out of the bathtub.
Sunlight shone through the curtains and fell on the ground, forming a golden line. It was especially dazzling. The floor of the bedroom was full of water stains. The strong smell of medicine made the whole room a little stuffy.
Garon picked up a cup and gulped down a whole cup of cold water. He instantly felt much better.
He tidied up a little and asked the maid to pour the water out of the bathtub. He stood on the spot and checked the condition of his body.
"My attributes are slowly increasing … I only need one more day to fully absorb the medicine. Then, I should be able to recover to a higher level." Garon clenched his fist. He felt that his blood was flowing smoothly. He felt like he was at the peak of his previous life. He felt a little more confident.
In two days, he had absorbed all three portions of medicine. His body had also recovered a lot. These were just weeds in the eyes of the locals. After a certain amount of cultivation and mixing, they could become a powerful medicine that could strengthen his body.
He looked at the attribute pane at the bottom of his vision.
'Strength 1.4, Agility 1.3, Vitality 1.4, Intelligence 0.9. Potential 1772%. Possess the qualifications of a Luminarist. '
"I still haven't fully absorbed the medicine. I should be able to increase it in a short period of time." Garon estimated in his heart. The effect of this ancient medicine was very gentle. Once it was increased, coupled with his natural recovery, it would increase by a number visible to the naked eye. At this rate, if he maintained this speed, he would be able to fully recover his body in less than a month.
"As long as my Strength and Vitality reach 1.5 and above, I can start to use Secret Techniques and Combat Skills. Most of my strength has recovered. " He gently moved his body. His current body could only support the strength of a Warrior. He couldn't fully utilize it.
After tidying up the room, Garon walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs. Today, his cousin came to look for Vanderman. His body had a big fight with Sophie Hathaway and said a lot of hurtful words. Vanderman wanted him to apologize to his cousin.
After leaving the small building, Garon quickly came to Vanderman's building in the center. There was a female soldier in white leather armor guarding the door. She seemed to be his cousin's companion.
When Garon walked into the building, the female soldier looked at him a few more times.
In the hall on the first floor, Vanderman and Hathaway sat separately on the sofa. Vanderman seemed to be asking Hathaway about something. Both of them heard footsteps. Seeing Garon walk in, the smile on Hathaway's face disappeared.
"Cousin." Garon took the initiative to greet her. He looked hesitant. "You're here?"
"Long time no see, Cia." Hathaway sighed. She looked at Garon helplessly.
She watched Acacia grow up and had the best relationship with him. Although the words he said last time were a bit irritating, they were just words of anger. She didn't take the words of a child to heart. After all, she was the one who hit him first.
She came this time because she heard from Marlene that Cia was becoming more and more sensible. He didn't go to the casino anymore and didn't play around anymore. She was going to teach him a lesson and let him know that trouble comes from careless talk. Now that she saw Cia admit defeat, Hathaway's heart softened.
Garon saw her eyes and immediately knew that Hathaway's heart had softened. "It's my fault, sister. I was too angry last time … "He lowered his head and looked sincere.
"It's good that you know your mistake." Hathaway stood up and walked in front of Garon. She reached out and gently rubbed his hair. It was still as soft as when he was young. "You've grown up. You're not the kid anymore. I heard from Marlene that you finally don't go to the casino anymore. I'm relieved. "
"I promise, I won't waste my life like before!" Garon raised his hand and said seriously. "A few days ago, I suddenly realized that it's meaningless to live like this for the rest of my life."
"That's good." Vanderman who was sitting at the side nodded. His serious face softened a little. "I've never heard you say something like that. It seems like you really want to start a new life."
"I'm serious." Garon replied calmly.
"Don't disappoint your cousin." Vanderman drank the coffee in his cup and stood up to go upstairs. "You two have a good chat. I won't participate in the young people's conversation. I have something to do later. You two can have dinner by yourselves. Don't wait for me. "
"Understood." Garon and Hathaway replied together.
After watching the Viscount go upstairs, the two of them sat down on the sofa.
Hathaway asked about Garon's recent situation in detail. When she found out that he didn't go out fooling around recently, she smiled a lot more. The two of them talked about some interesting things. Hathaway also mentioned that she wanted to admire Garon's new work. Garon immediately declined. Every time he took that thing out, it would be embarrassing.
After sitting for more than two hours, Hathaway gave Garon a small knight sword model. It could be placed on the desk as a decoration. Only then did she get up and leave the manor with another female soldier. She seemed to be in a good mood when she left.
Garon also let out a sigh of relief. This time, he had successfully covered most of the changes in his personality. In the future, he didn't have to hide too much. Otherwise, it would be very stressful to pretend to be a child with low intelligence.
However, the change had to be done slowly. It couldn't be done overnight.
When he left Vanderman's house, it was already late. It was almost afternoon. Garon returned to his bedroom, closed the door, and began his usual recovery training of combat skills and secret techniques. The strength that was recovering every moment made his heart more calm and steady. The speed at which he learned precision blueprints was also increasing rapidly. The current him, without using his special ability potential points, had already reached a very high level of entry-level. He only needed a little more time to learn all kinds of basic blueprints and he would be able to enter the second stage: Mastery level.
"In a few more days, when my physical fitness has recovered to strength and vitality 1.5, I will be able to safely use secret techniques and superimpose combat skills. This is equivalent to the general level of this world. As expected of a thousand-year-old medicine, it's not just strong! "Garon exclaimed in his heart.
