God's family

"...Fake death?" Roger read out in doubt, as if he had seen this term somewhere before.

"Do you also think he is in a state of suspended animation now?" Before Roger could come up with something, Alan, who heard him talking to himself, had already picked up the conversation, and his tone was full of recognition from his bosom friend. "I think it should be close! It is said that the so-called 'fake death' is a kind of self-protection instinct of living things. Humans should also have it. It's just that this stage is too short to achieve any real protective effect. , will soon change from suspended animation to real death. However, orcs can maintain a suspended animation state for a long time, so they are often used to study suspended animation..." Allen paused, coughed a little embarrassedly, "Just like me. I hope to develop a potion that can wake up the living body from the state of suspended animation and restore sanity. I have read from the book that it is said that in the early ancient times when the gods were most active, there was It is a pity that such a potion has been lost due to the battle of the gods and the fall of many gods..."

Allen's next words were interrupted by Roger's high-five.Alan and the others looked at Roger inexplicably as if they had been reminded by something, buried their heads in their backpacks to find something, and shut their mouths knowingly.

"Found it!" Roger took out a potion bottle from his bag both excitedly and anxiously, looked at the bottle with complicated eyes, and then at the orc, quite hesitant.

This bottle of potion was dropped from the orc after defeating the little BOSS in the underground auction. The potion's name is [Resurrection Potion], and the description is [Release single suspended animation state].When he first picked it up, Roger was confused about the purpose of this bottle of potion, but at that time the situation was urgent and too many things happened, so Roger quickly forgot about it until he was just picked up. Allen reminded, only to recall.

Although we can know the preciousness of this bottle of potion from Allen's words, Roger will still choose to use it on the orc after weighing it for a while-it fell from him anyway, so it can barely be regarded as returning to the original owner.

Without explaining too much to others, Roger carefully poured the medicine in the bottle into the mouth of the orc with the help of Allen.

Seeing that the potion in the bottle was getting less and less, but the orc still didn't respond, Roger's heart was gradually beating, and he kept praying that there must be an effect, otherwise he would suffer a lot.

I don't know if Roger was a little distracted because of praying, or the orc's golden pupils were too intimidating. When the orc opened his eyes suddenly, Roger was embarrassed and shivered, and almost dropped his hand. The potion bottle was thrown out.

"Wake up, wake up..." Allen widened his eyes in amazement, staring fixedly at the bottle in Roger's hand, unable to move it away, and Roger looked at the precarious HP value of the awakened orc After hesitating for a moment, he still raised his hand and gave him a healing technique.

This time, the healing technique worked, and Roger, who had learned from the Thieves Guild earlier, didn't completely heal the orc, but kept him in a weak state so that he wouldn't go berserk again and cause any trouble.

There seemed to be a trace of confusion in the eyes of the orc. However, Roger, who had seen his strength, did not dare to stay by his side for a while. After seeing that his condition was stable, he immediately dragged his hands and still stared at the potion in his hand. Allen in the bottle took a few steps back, and was not relieved until he drew a safe distance from the orc.

"Oh my God! This is simply amazing! Could this be the legendary potion for relieving the state of suspended animation?!" Alan rubbed his hands excitedly, full of longing, and immediately respected Roger, "You still have This potion? Please sell it to me! No matter how much, no matter how much I am willing to pay!"

"Sorry, I only have this bottle..." Roger couldn't adapt to Alan's enthusiasm for a while, but he really couldn't get out the second bottle of [Resurrection Potion].

"Your answer is really a catastrophe..." Alan's disappointment was beyond words, but luckily he cheered up quickly, "However, it is right to say that, after all, it is such a precious potion, and to have a bottle of it should be a gift from God It's gone—can you please give me this bottle? Maybe there is still some medicine left in it, maybe it can be used for my research..."

This time, there was no need to refuse Allen's request.Roger quickly handed the potion bottle in his hand to Alan, watching him hold it carefully in his hand like a treasure, and his eyes flashing with imagination, he couldn't help feeling a little black.

——As a mortal, he really couldn't understand the crazy enthusiasm of the researchers.

"Where did you get this potion?" Not only was Alan unbelievable about the potion that Roger took out, but the rest of the people couldn't keep up with the development of the situation.Leon looked at Roger with complicated eyes and asked, his questioning expression added a little bit - he never trusted Roger, not only because his origin was a mystery, good at disguising and lying, but also because of his unimaginable The cross-field learning ability and the weird potion that came out of nowhere, all of this made Leon feel that Roger was difficult to control and completely incalculable, but Leon, who received aristocratic education since he was a child, understood that things that cannot be controlled have always been All need to be treated with caution.

"This potion..." Roger had a headache. He originally wanted to be perfunctory like before, but then he thought that since Edgar had exposed his identity as a divinely favored person, there was no point in covering it up any more. It's better to tell the truth, once and for all.

However, Roger, who was planning to recruit from the real world, did not expect that before he opened his mouth, Lacente would answer Leon's question one step ahead, "Roger and I found it from a hut abandoned by an alchemist."

"Why don't I know?!" Leon was stunned.

"Because that was before I met you, there were only me and Roger." Laycent replied without changing his expression, and then turned to look at Roger, his solemnity was full of flattery.

Roger raised his forehead, he seemed to understand the meaning behind Lycent's words: You see, we all have things that we can't tell others. I helped you hide it, and you can't blame me for not telling you the truth!

"Is that so?" Leon pondered for a moment, half-believing, "Wait, why does this reason sound so familiar to me? — This is clearly a lie that Roger made up to perfuse the Thieves Guild, right?! "

"Although there are indeed elements of fabrication in those words, they are actually well-founded and not a lie." Laycent's tone, eyes, and expression were extremely sincere, making people want to trust him, " Roger never lied."

"...You lied." Unexpectedly, as soon as Laycent finished speaking, Leon, who was originally half-believing, became decisive, "Are you helping Roger to lie?! 'Roger never lies' kind of thing Do you think anyone will believe it?!"

Lacente's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Roger with a guilty conscience, obviously because he messed up something and was ashamed to see Jiang Dong's elders.Afterwards, he turned his head to the other side, with a look of sudden interest in the corner of the tent, and he calmly seemed to stay out of the matter when he was exposed as a lie, which made Leon's molars itch for a while.

At this time, Roger has changed from holding his forehead to covering his face, and he has deeply realized what it means to be "not afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs." This bastard, Lesant, is specially trying to hold him back, right? !

When the anger in Leon's heart who was deceived—though unsuccessfully—could not get a response from Lyon and turned to Roger, Roger sighed and had no choice but to tell the truth, "Okay, Don't look at me like this, I'm just telling the truth. The medicine in my hand is obtained after killing the opponent, it seems to be a kind of reward, but you can't see its existence, but only the one who is a favored person I can pick it up."

"No wonder you always like to run to the corpses of monsters. I always thought it was because you have a strange interest in those things!" Laycent suddenly realized.

"Shut up!" Roger gritted his teeth.

Nexant once again regained interest in observing the corner of the tent.

"Anyway, I'm actually not very clear about all this. I just know that I have the status of a divinely favored person, and after becoming a divinely favored person, some inexplicable changes have taken place in me." Roger lowered his gaze , showing a little weakness just right, "Actually, although I am a person favored by God, I don't know what's going on. To explain these unreasonable things that happened to me. I have been hiding it before, and I am sorry, because even I don’t know how to explain it myself, and I am even more afraid that if others know about my abnormality, it will provoke some of me. Trouble that I can’t deal with—to be honest, I really don’t have the slightest interest in becoming famous or anything, I just want to live a peaceful and happy life. The title of God’s Blessed One is not so much an honor to me It would be more appropriate to say that pressure comes."

"Okay, you don't need to be so remorseful. It's instinctive to hide it from others in order to protect yourself. It's perfectly normal. Only a brat who hasn't experienced any danger would blame others for such a thing. "Edgar patted Roger on the shoulder, and said in a rare earnest way, "As long as you don't have the intention of harming others, even if you cheat, you are still good brothers! Just like our group of mercenaries, we have been together for such a long time, and we went through life and death together. , but there are no less things that should be hidden!"

The female mage Laura and the pharmacist Allen couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, obviously thinking of something, but Edgar glanced at Leon as if pointing, and saw that he lowered his head apologetically, with an accusatory expression on his face. His expression also faded, and then he looked away in satisfaction.However, Roger didn't pay attention to Leon, he just involuntarily looked at Lesant who also concealed the matter, and felt that the awkward and disappointed feeling in his heart subsided a lot.

Seeing that the matter subsided, Edgar clapped his hands in a timely manner and stretched his body, "Okay, this matter is over, and it's my turn to complete the transaction and tell what I know It's about the God's favored one. But before that, let's go on the road first, anyway, the time on the road is very long!"

No one objected to Edgar's proposal, and naturally Roger and the others left Ayntes as soon as possible.

After dismantling the camp, Edgar called a few strong mercenaries to put the weak orc on a rope, trying to see if he could lead him away together.Surprisingly, the orc was very docile and docile this time, and was led to move without even struggling, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

——Well, only Edgar was the exception. Regarding this situation, he seemed quite disappointed, as if he couldn't wait to have an excuse to wrestle with the orcs.

The Silver Wolf mercenary group set up their camp extremely smoothly and headed from Aintes to the prosperous commercial port of Seagate.
