The fat captive stepped back uncontrollably when he saw Kieran's hand wrapped in electric sparks. His face even showed fear.
The fat captive's mouth was uttering a whimper that sounded similar to the common language of this dungeon world, but a little different.
"Slang?"
Kieran wondered. He then tried to test the fat captive, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
The fat captive nodded at first, then shook his head.
The ambiguous answer made Kieran frown.
At this moment, Herbert walked out of the room.
"If you don't mind, let me have a try!"
Herbert said.
"Of course!"
Kieran nodded and stepped aside. His eyes were glued to the fat captive. Should the fat captive make any strange moves, Kieran would strike right away.
However, out of Kieran's expectation, the struggling fat captive quieted down when Herbert walked over with a smile.
"This is?"
Kieran looked at Herbert in shock.
The scholar was talking to the fat captive in an extremely slow manner.
"Calm down, don't worry, no one here will hurt you!"
"Okay, okay!
"Tell me your name!"
"No, I don't have a name …"
"Is that so?
"Then where did you come from?"
"I … I don't know."
…
As the two of them talked, Kieran finally understood what the fat captive was saying.
It wasn't some slang, it was the common language.
It was just that the fat captive's vocal cords or tongue had some problems, causing the whimper to turn into a whimper.
More importantly, Kieran realized the fat captive's intelligence wasn't that high.
"Is it a disguise? Or …? "
Kieran doubted.
However, when Herbert unlocked the chains on the fat captive and he obediently followed Herbert, Kieran gave up on his doubts.
At the same time, Kieran's heart skipped a beat.
He thought of the setup in the dark spot's room yesterday.
"That trap was carefully chosen by the enemy!"
"The big guy in front of us was carefully chosen as the 'bait'!"
Kieran could totally imagine, according to the plan of the person who set up the trap,
When fighting against a big fellow who had thick skin, did not feel pain, but was simple-minded and could not even communicate normally, and was also extremely angry, the other party would definitely use weapons.
Once a weapon was used, the green flame trap would be triggered.
With the big guy pestering him, it was impossible for him to escape.
The final result was self-evident.
The only thing the mastermind didn't consider was how angry and reckless everyone would be.
"What a pity!"
Kieran couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the harmless-looking big guy following behind Herbert and taking the breakfast from the cooking maid.
It was true that nothing could be got out of a man of low intelligence.
However, a person with such a large body was conspicuous no matter where he went.
As long as he was spotted, he would be able to obtain accurate information just by asking around.
If he followed the clues, it was not impossible to find the whereabouts of the mastermind.
The only thing that worried Kieran was the mercenaries and bounty hunters who came to apply for the job.
Before he could complete the screening of the bodyguards or even find the person with ulterior motives, he would not be able to leave Herbert's side.
A possible sub-mission and a natives related to the main mission. Kieran knew which was more important and which was more important.
"If it's just asking around, Cohen can do it well too.
He sends me the newspaper every day, and today will be no exception! "
Herbert walked back to Kieran after he calmed the big guy down. He invited Kieran to have breakfast with him as he spoke in a friendly tone.
About ten minutes later, Cohen walked into Herbert's house with the newspaper in his hand.
When he heard Kieran's request and Kieran's willingness to teach him some basic combat skills, the young man patted his chest and agreed.
He didn't even finish his breakfast before he ran back to the city.
"You better remember your promise!
Cohen admires you a lot! "
Joanna said to Kieran after she saw her friend off.
"Why did you thank me before?"
Joanna asked after a pause.
"Because I was thinking about something that I shouldn't be thinking about right now, and your scream woke me up from my futile thoughts."
Kieran explained briefly.
He could not explain everything that had happened to him in detail.
However, his simple answer was the truth.
Unfortunately, Joanna did not believe his answer.
"Easy for you to say!"
Joanna grunted softly before she turned around and left.
However, after a few steps, she stopped abruptly.
"Thank you!"
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen maid without hesitation.
Kieran was left in a daze.
"What an unpredictable person!"
Kieran commented on Joanna before he turned to Herbert, who was observing everything with the gaze of an elder.
Kieran had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask the scholar.
About the mutation of Calkin and the wagoner.
And the reason why Herbert was so sure that the wagoner would not hurt him when he was facing the big guy.
All of these made Kieran concerned.
"The Night Race!
The mutation of Calkin and the wagoner fits the description of these monsters from the Neegor Dynasty. They possess intellect no less than humans and are adept at disguising themselves as humans. When they die, they turn into a thick green liquid!
"Invulnerability also fits your description."
They once wreaked havoc along the coast of the Neegor Dynasty, but were eventually annihilated by the dynasty's army!
There are only two things that I'm concerned about.
First, when the Night Race is in pain, they can't maintain their normal form!
Second, the Night Race reproduces in the same way as humans, so it's impossible for them to mutate! "
Herbert answered Kieran's doubts.
"The Night Race is planning to make a comeback?
If that's the case, then Calkin would be a good target, wouldn't he? "
Kieran mumbled to himself.
Kieran had some guesses in his heart though.
"Who knows?
Thanks to my long life, my eyes can tell whether a simple-minded person is good or evil, but that doesn't apply to people like Calkin or monsters like the Night Race! "
Herbert shrugged.
"But you've given me enough help!
At least, this is the first time I've heard of the Night Race! "
Kieran said with a smile.
"It's just a coincidence.
You should be glad that it originated from the Neegor Dynasty. What if it's something else?
I can't help you even if I wanted to! "
The elderly scholar said as he walked towards the big guy who had been staring at the scene. The big guy was holding an empty pot, whimpering non-stop at the elderly scholar.
Its meaning was self-explanatory.
Kieran then headed out of the house, towards the place where the guards would be screened.
He realized that he could use a simpler method to screen the guards.
In other words, he could add a selection process to the screening process.
As Kieran walked closer.
The mercenaries and bounty hunters who were screened started to get restless.
A few of the targets that Kieran paid attention to started communicating with their eyes again.
Their hands were reaching for their weapons.
