The news of the Magic Beast outbreak had not spread out yet, otherwise, it would have spread far and wide. However, the two Mercenary Regiment, Black Wolf and Crow, as the instigators of it all, did not escape the fate of being discussed.
On the streets, people could be seen discussing this matter, especially between the adventurers. Although the prestige of the two great Mercenary Regiment s wouldn't drop to the lowest point overnight, most people were no longer as anxious or respectful as before when they were mentioned. This was also what the Regiment Commander Locke was worried about.
Rex brought Ge Yan and stopped in front of a strange shop. Rex told him to wait, he went in, and came out after a while.
After a while, Ge Yan knew what he was going to do. When they walked out of the hidden alley, the cape on his head had already disappeared, and was replaced with brown hair and blue eyes. He then reverted back to his original Jimmy appearance.
"As expected, it's still this convenient." Ge Yan stretched and twisted his neck. Ever since he wore the cape, he had never felt as comfortable as he did now. Of course, it would be more comfortable if he did not wear the wig and the change in color crystal card.
Just as he was thinking, a black cloth suddenly covered his eyes. Ge Yan was speechless to find that Rex had put the cape on his head again, he wanted to take it off, but was stopped by Rex, his strength could not compare to the other party, so he had to rely on his mouth.
"Don't I have a wig and a crystal chip? Why would I need to wear a cloak?"
Rex did not explain and indifferently said: "It would be useful if you could wear it."
His attitude was both tough and overbearing.
Ge Yan didn't understand what he was thinking, and could only endure it, grumbling inwardly in his heart, causing him to be happy for nothing. He thought that Rex had only bought it because he had sensed his feelings, although he was indeed a little sentimental, but there was no need to slap his face so quickly.
After asking around, they found out that Black Wolf and Crow had returned from the Tasha Forest, and the news of Tangles's grandson, Alva, dying because of them had also spread. The people who were discussing this matter were even more active than when they had heard about the outbreak of the Magic Beast tide, and it was obvious that people were talking about it wherever they went.
Ge Yan followed Rex back to the Tasha Forest, and just as he was about to ask the reason, he saw Rex turn around and call out to him.
Ge Yan was caught off guard and suddenly ate a mouthful of sand, instantly making him dumbfounded.
Not only did Rex not feel any guilt, he did not stop until the clean and tidy person turned into a pile of dust and dirt once again.
"I know you don't like me, but I must remind you that even servants have dignity." Ge Yan spat twice before spitting out the sand in his mouth and shouted at him aggressively.
Rex coldly looked over.
However, just as he finished oiling himself, he caught a glimpse of Rex's hands suddenly raising up from the corner of his eyes, scaring him so much that he quickly held his head, "I was wrong." What dignity. At this moment, his life was not even the least bit important.
"Wait for me here." Rex threw those words and turned to leave.
Ge Yan carefully raised his head, Rex's figure was already nowhere to be seen, and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, then suddenly realised that he was not trying to take the chance to dump him, this was a burden, and that it was very possible, because he was not Jimmy himself, and was also hiding a secret, giving him 10 guts would not dare to take the initiative to run in front of Jimmy's acquaintances, and that way, Rex would have no reason to bring him back.
As he was lost in his thoughts, Rex had returned with a python that no longer breathed, its fatal wound dripping with blood. He did not explain, the moment it appeared, he smeared the snake's blood on his face and even on his clothes, all that he needed to wipe. Even though he still did not know what he wanted to do, Ge Yan knew that he must have some sort of unspeakable plan.
Rex also helped himself, but the amount was a bit less, and he still looked handsome and cold.
Ge Yan looked at him, waiting for him to explain.
Rex threw the snake body to the side and started to explain the plan to him. Actually, it was just for him to cooperate, but it was very challenging for Ge Yan's acting skills, because this part of him was the key.
Ge Yan immediately felt a sense of pressure, as if he was shouldering a huge mission.
Rex's thought process was more meticulous, and he noticed the problems that he didn't notice. The two had prepared all the confessions ahead of time in order to prevent themselves from being questioned separately, and there was one sentence that was extremely disadvantageous to both of them. Rex would absolutely not allow this kind of foolish mistake to occur, so he began to help Ge Yan consolidate his memories repeatedly.
"Why did Carlos and the other two go to the Tasha Forest, and why did they die?"
They eavesdropped on the news of the Holy Beast. Carlos wanted to find a Holy Beast, so he instigated us, and we met a few Magic Beast at the entrance, and with great difficulty, we managed to kill a head of Magic Beast. However, a few Gale Demon Wolves appeared, and Carlos and Ariel died.
"How did Rex save you?"
Hearing these words, if not for them colluding and confessing, Ge Yan would have thought that his skin was especially thick, "He originally didn't want to save us, because he was no match for the Demonic Gale Wolf himself. He originally wanted to escape and inform the lot of you, but Sayin just discovered his existence.
"Your strength is not as strong as Carlos's, why are you fine after they die?"
"Ah, didn't you already say that you saved me?" Ge Yan asked doubtfully.
Rex said: "The lives of Carlos and the other two are more valuable than yours, so they must be thinking the same thing in the heart of Regiment Commander Locke.
"Wait, the word 'also' means something. In your heart, don't tell me that these dead people are more valuable than me?" Ge Yan looked at him with an injured expression. Although they hadn't been together for a long time, he thought that they had already developed an unerasable bond.
"Stop messing around." Rex frowned.
"I didn't cause trouble. I asked you this question very seriously. You answer first, and then I'll answer you." He had to know Rex's opinion of him today, and this decided his attitude towards Rex in the future.
Rex did not answer immediately, but only looked at him quietly. Seeing his resolute expression, his precipitous brow wrinkled, and said in a compromising manner: "I don't think that their lives are more precious than yours. In the eyes of all the members of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, your status is indeed not higher than Carlos's.
"Really?" Ge Yan stared intently at his face, not sparing even the slightest of expression.
Rex nodded speechlessly.
Ge Yan was finally happy and waved his hand: "Then they definitely know that Jimmy's strength is not as high as Carlos's group of three. Furthermore, the place he was standing at just happened to be outside of the range of the Demonic Gale Wolves' attacks, so he managed to escape this calamity."
"Very good."
Black Crow had already left with his subordinates, leaving only Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment behind in the inn. There were no signs of them in the hall, so the two of them went up to the second floor, where they were stopped by two mercenaries at the stairs. One of them suddenly called out Rex's name.
