Chapter 20: Encounter in the Night

Because it is close to the border, the city lord's mansion in Leiden City is not as gorgeous as the city lord's mansion in other cities, but pursues the principle of simplicity and practicality as much as possible.

Even the commercial taxes in Leiden City are among the best in the entire Kingdom of Agrant.

Of course, this practicality is just about the decoration, they enjoyed a delicious meal under the warm hospitality of Balls.

As the first time he had eaten meat in another world, Aaron was quite impressed by it, and he did not expect that the quality of the dishes in another world was surprisingly good.

He also thought that the dishes from another world were probably the kind of looking up at the stars.

This meal, in Aaron's words, is a different world version of beef stewed with potatoes.

However, the beef here is made of a kind of wild wolf meat that is common outside Laideng City, while the potatoes are replaced by another similar ingredient, with a soft texture and taste like konjac.

The wild wolf meat was carefully processed by the chef and stewed very badly. It is matched with the unique aroma of konjac, which completely covers the original sour and fishy smell of wild wolf meat. The konjac itself also adds the flavor because it is stained with broth.

Even though Aaron came from a foodie country and had high requirements for the quality of the dishes, he still enjoyed eating. He did not pay any attention to Alice's repeated gestures - as a nobleman, it is appropriate to maintain table etiquette.

However, such a reminder is naturally ineffective for a person who does not regard himself as a noble.

Such meat is the standard meal of Bals, and most of the three meals a day are like this, and it is not a special treat for Aaron and others.

Although he emphasized that life was simple and not as extravagant as other city lords and nobles, he still cared about daily diet, or in other words, this was his personal hobby.

Being able to have a wall of physique is not necessarily a foodie, but it is definitely a foodie.

However, the only price to enjoy the food is to spend time. By the time Aaron and his friends bid farewell to Lord Barrs, night had already quietly arrived.

The night was dull, and the dark clouds silently overshadowed the moonlight, limiting the moonlight to that small piece of darkness.

The city lord's mansion is not brightly lit, on the contrary, the entire city lord's mansion is just decorated with torches in sporadic places.

At Alice's strong request, several guards held up torches to lead the way for Aaron and his party, and took advantage of the night to go to Tien's room.

No one had much opinion on this. Aaron was hoping to take a look at the murder case in the secret room in another world, while Sartre was concerned about the exuding cult aura.

According to the description of the Lord of Bals, Tyne's death was a few days ago, and in the past few days, Bals can only protect the scene as much as possible and collect relevant materials as soon as possible.

Even if he is a golden-level powerful man in the Holy Grail system, his ability is mostly about how to charge and how to preserve the aura of the cult, his level may be inferior to that of Sartre, the bronze-level.

If the aura of the Cult is allowed to spread, the aura of the Cult here will probably dissipate to an untraceable level in a few days.

Sartre didn't know when his junior Solsand would arrive, so he could only retain as much of the cult atmosphere as possible.

"It's already night, why don't you light a torch?" Aaron couldn't help but ask.

He looked around with the fire, but after all, the torch had limited light, so it was difficult to see the full picture of the city lord's mansion.

After several turns, he completely lost his sense of direction in the darkness and could only follow the torch.

God knows how these guards know the direction.

"That's to protect civilians," Alice said in a deep voice, "to prevent them from seeing something they shouldn't have seen."

"Ahh?"

Aaron was stunned and immediately reacted.

The so-called things that should not be seen should refer to extraordinary phenomena.

"Leden City is the city closest to Badibila in the Kingdom. No one knows how many people will look at it. Every year, invaders will forcibly attack the city lord's mansion."

Speaking of this, Alice seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but walk to Aaron and continued to explain: "You are already a superman, and you should be very clear about the difference between an ordinary person and a superman."

Aaron nodded thoughtfully, and vaguely grasped a certain characteristic of this plane again.

In this world, the difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people is big or small.

At least for Aaron now, he is basically not much different from ordinary people, and ordinary swords will still cause fatal injuries to him.

This is also why Alice and Sartre care about it very much.

As the saying goes, the black iron of enlightenment lies in the word enlightenment.

At this time, the extraordinary people are actually like a child who has just started school. They know nothing about extraordinary knowledge and need to constantly learn, understand the extraordinary aura, and then finally be able to accept the extraordinary aura world.

Only when they have enough understanding of the extraordinary aura and have formed a relatively stable understanding can they take the second step, that is, determine their extraordinary direction.

The gold coins are placed in the soul, the holy grail is placed in external objects, the sword is placed in the body, and the scepter is placed in knowledge.

In other words, only when the extraordinary person enters the bronze level can they be considered a true extraordinary person, because until this time they will have some characteristics that surpass the ordinary person.

Aaron suddenly paused, deliberately lowered his voice and asked Alice, "So, how do you identify whether a person has the potential to become a supernatural?"

His voice was very low, but there was silence around him, with only the slightly chaotic footsteps of everyone. In such an environment, his voice seemed particularly clear.

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the surroundings had been quiet for a moment. Almost everyone stopped and then rang again.

With the light of the torch, Aaron could feel the gazes from several people in secret. He also saw Alice pursing her lips, her expression a little complicated.

She didn't say anything, but just secretly made a silent gesture to Aaron, signaling him not to speak.

Ah, what am I wrong?

Aaron subconsciously looked at Sartre, but also saw Sartre looking at him solemnly and shook his head gently.

He vaguely felt that the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

The team walked a long way, and the atmosphere became more and more dull. Fortunately, Ed said to Alice, "Miss, there is Tien's residence in front of you."

This sentence is not so much for Alice, but for Aaron and Sartre.

However, Sartre's attention was not on this sentence, but instead stared at the darkness ahead thoughtfully. He could feel a strong aura of cult not far away.

And at this time, a creaking sound suddenly came in the dark night.
