Chapter 4 The Mysterious Man

The two children walked away as soon as they were walking, and they penetrated into the southern part of the foggy forest, walked inward from the edge of the forest for about a quarter of an hour, and then came to the small bush that Sean mentioned, but there was no trace of anyone nearby.

"Huh... I was lying here more than an hour ago?" Sean stared at left and right with wide eyes and strange eyes.

"Oh, he may have been discovered and rescued, so let's go back!"

Roger finished his words disappointed, but suddenly noticed that the bushes seemed to have been deliberately trimmed, and there was no trace of blood left on the surrounding ground. Roger couldn't help but frowned and changed his mouth: "Sean, I suddenly remembered something, let's go back! After you go back, you tell me the Butler Fered, and you said I was hungry and went home for dinner. In addition, no one is allowed to say anything about us coming here to play, otherwise I won't tell you stories in the future!"

"Well, please rest assured, Mr. Roger, if you don't agree, even if my dad hits me, I won't say it!" Sean, who was only twelve years old, did not feel any suspicious, but instead clenched his fists and made a serious promise.

The two walked out of the forest and broke up. Looking at Sean's back as he was leaving, Roger licked his lips, thought for a while, turned around and walked back.

Looking around carefully along the way, Roger couldn't help but murmur: "Even the traces must be cleaned up. This matter is definitely not as simple as hunting monsters. Could it be that the injured are being hunted by some forces? Is he a good person or a bad person..."

"But no matter who it is, this guy must have had no way out to escape to such a remote place. If he is a good person, I will definitely get rewarded if I save him. If he is a little careful, I can even help him avoid the pursuit of his enemies. If he is a bad person, I will first study the traces left by his escape. Then I can get some bounty when I go to report it..." Roger frowned and walked with his wishful thinking.

"Wait... If this man is cruel and hasn't run away yet, I will go back alone. If I unfortunately encounter it, then the possibility of him killing me to silence me... Oh... Forget it, this situation is too unsafe! Even if he has a noble status and long live his character, it is not good if it drags down the family because of this! Let's go back and tell my father, some things are not something I have the ability to deal with at the moment!" After hesitating for a moment, Roger thought that he could not take advantage of this little advantage, so he turned around and turned back again.

But when I didn't go far, when I passed by a birch bush, Roger suddenly felt that the atmosphere around me seemed to be something wrong, and he couldn't help but slow down and became careful.

"Although I rarely come to the forest and can't be familiar with it, it's too quiet around here, strange..."

Roger stopped, looked around, and suddenly thought of something. He was about to look up, but suddenly felt a chill suddenly coming! But before he could come back to his senses, a black shadow fell on his head, and a big hand covered his mouth directly.

Roger felt his heart beating wildly, and his whole body was sweating! He felt that the part below his nose was so painful that it was as if it was being pinched by iron clamps. He wanted to ask for help but could not open his jaw, and even the strength of his whole body could not be used - the other party was obviously an experienced veteran!

"Isn't this person seriously injured? Why are you still so lively... Could it be... Will I be more miserable in my life than in my previous life? I had been to the provincial capital to study in my previous life, but I could not even get out of the town in this life and I was finished early..."

While he was in a hurry to regret, he heard a hoarse voice behind him lowered it and heard it reaching his ears: "Little guy, as long as you don't shout, I won't hurt you." After that, Roger felt that his big hand covering his mouth finally relaxed.

Roger immediately staggered forward a few steps, then turned around and looked at the other person nervously.

Roger then saw clearly the other person's appearance. He was a thin man in his fifties. He was indeed wearing a set of brown-yellow high-end studded leather armor, but it was not badly damaged. His body was covered with wounds, and most of his body was stained brown-red by the blood overflowing from the wound. He looked extremely injured and his face was scary. He could no longer support the weight of his body after standing for a few seconds. So he leaned against the tree behind him, but from the expression on his face, he seemed extremely calm and natural, and he could not feel any panic. Roger looked at him and immediately felt guilty. He felt that although the other person was almost exhausted, he was also sure to kill himself at any time.

The thin man was relieved when he saw that Roger did not run away or shouted, and a hint of praise appeared on his face.

This person is not only experienced, but also has good psychological quality. He has been so chased and injured so much, but he can still be so calm... Roger is a little impressed, and before he knows it, his heart that was originally beating wildly gradually calmed down.

"I can help you find some medicine, either a pastor or a doctor." Roger couldn't help but suggest.

"Pastor? Hehe..."

Hearing Roger's words, the man's mouth sarcastically sarcastically: "I don't want to be discovered by the insidious guys of the Holy See..."

It seems that most of them were wanted by the Holy See, but they don’t look very bad. How should I get out? It’s the worst result to be related to the Holy See…Roger thought in his mind, but said, “At least you have to find some medicine, otherwise you won’t last long!”

After thinking about it, he added: "If you have friends, maybe I can help you contact them secretly to rescue you."

After hearing the boy's words, the man's originally calm face finally changed a little. After looking at Roger seriously for a while, he suddenly laughed: "Child, you have to remember that a real thief will not have any friends!"

"Thieves? You don't look like a very graceful nobleman, a very standard nobleman!" Roger shook his head and flattered the other party quietly.

"Aristocrat? Haha, I can't tell you that little guy, you're really humorous, but you really have some vision! I've been a thief for more than 40 years, committed countless crimes, and are famous in the mainland, but no one can guess that my superficial identity is the romantic and rich Marquis of Kelly in the Tianfeng Empire... Cough cough... Ha... Cough cough..." As the man said, he finally couldn't help laughing, but accompanied by laughter, a sharp cough.

"Marquis? A famous thief on the mainland? It's such a strange and wonderful combination... But I think you should not laugh best, Marquis, otherwise the injury on your chest will worsen!" Roger said with a strange expression.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether it's a marquis or a thief!"

Kelly looked up at the sky with a little sadness and murmured to himself: "What is the Marquis? I am the son of a maid. If it weren't for the old man's precious sons who died of illness one after another, when would he have thought of letting me, the illegitimate son who grew up in a slum, inherit his title? If it weren't for my master who was a thief, we mother and son would have starved to death on the streets after being driven out..."
