86: Ron's parting gift
“But...”
At this moment, Litton hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke up to add.
“If you don’t encounter anything urgent, it’s best not to look for him.”
“After all... Doctor Gavin is also very busy, and it’s always bad to disturb others, don’t you agree?”
Litton stammered, his expression somewhat complex, and reluctantly found a reason to explain to Roen.
“Yes, Mr. Litton, I understand what you mean.”
Roen said seriously, he was actually well aware of Litton’s true thoughts.
However, since Litton still wanted to cover for Gavin, there was no need for him to expose it.
And Litton, hearing Roen agree, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Time flew by, and it was noon.
After dinner, Litton went to make house calls.
Roen, on the other hand, went out to the Exchange.
This time, he did not bring his alchemist mask, but instead went out openly.
At this moment, two young men dressed as thugs on the opposite street corner immediately exchanged glances when they saw him.
Then one left, and the other followed behind Roen.
“As expected...”
Roen’s expression was as usual, as if he hadn’t noticed anything.
But in reality, whether through the keen observation ability of the Thief Breathing Technique.
Or the already activated Mental Energy, he saw the actions of the two clearly.
At this time, Roen arrived at the Exchange and entered a clothing store.
Twenty minutes later, he came out carrying several bags.
And at this moment, the thug who had left earlier happened to bring someone with him.
“Lord Gesi!”
The thug who was monitoring immediately tried to bow.
However, Gesi frowned and quickly pressed down on his shoulder.
“Don’t make a sound, don’t let him find out!”
The thug quickly nodded, pretending as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Gesi looked up and saw that after Roen left the clothing store, he entered a general store.
“What did he just do?”
Gesi asked, and the thug scratched his head and honestly said.
“It seems he went into the clothing store and bought some clothes?”
Buy clothes?
Gesi raised an eyebrow, the large and small bags Roen was carrying just now probably contained at least seven or eight pieces of clothing, right?
Why buy so many clothes at once?
Gesi pondered for a moment, but did not act rashly.
He just waited outside for a while, and when he saw Roen come out of the general store, he went to the Exchange again.
When Roen had made a round and was walking back with his things.
Gesi pondered for a moment, but did not follow, instead walking towards the clothing store.
Five minutes later, Gesi left the clothing store, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
“So, this kid is going to resign? He wants to go to Kura City?”
After he entered, he questioned the owner of the clothing store.
As a result, he learned that when Roen bought clothes earlier.
The owner was also a bit curious to see him buy so many at once, so he casually asked a question.
So, Roen, without any guard, claimed that he wanted to go to Kura City.
It seemed to be related to his sister, and he wanted to stay in Kura City for a period of time.
“In that case, I only need to know the day he leaves, and I can complete Lord Gevas’s mission!”
Gesi thought to himself, and then went to the general store.
Then he learned that Roen had bought a large amount of daily necessities, which made him even more certain.
Immediately after, Gesi also learned from the Exchange that Roen had spent one gold coin to reserve a temporary residence permit that would only be issued tomorrow.
So, after pondering for a while.
He hurried to the sheriff’s office and reported the situation to Gevas.
“Hmm? Roen is leaving?”
Gevas couldn’t help but smile when he heard Gesi’s account.
“Haha, this kid, actually delivered himself to my doorstep?”
“Very well, have someone continue to monitor him, if there are any signs of him leaving the city.”
“Then immediately come back and report, and I will personally take action to arrest him!”
Gesi was stunned when he heard this, and asked somewhat puzzled.
“My Lord, a mere young boy, only two Knight Squires can capture him, why do you need to act personally?”
Gevas, however, shook his head and explained to Gesi.
“If it were any other kid, that would naturally be the case.”
“However, this Roen is different, his conditions are excellent.”
“Overall, he is the most superior candidate for a sacrifice, so we must be careful and cautious.”
This time, when he went to Kura City to conduct slave transactions.
Gevas personally witnessed how the other party verified identities and graded them.
Therefore, he immediately understood why Mirar had been fixated on Roen back then.
The reason was simple, this kid was the most outstanding among all the commoners.
Not only was he handsome and charming, but his figure was also tall.
Especially during this period, living comfortably in Litton’s home, after a period of recuperation.
His temperament was also completely different from before, becoming gentle and elegant, with a graceful demeanor.
Like a young master of a noble family, just a slight smile could make people feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze, unforgettable.
Even among the young female patients who came to Litton’s clinic daily.
Most of them were not actually ill, but came on false pretenses for Roen.
In terms of quality alone, Gevas could say without hesitation.
Roen alone could be worth five slaves, or even more!
Therefore, Gevas decided to take action personally.
Lest his subordinates be inefficient and bump or bruise Roen.
Or even accidentally scratch his handsome face, that would be a huge loss!
“I understand, I will follow your instructions.”
Gesi nodded, then turned and left.
At the same time, on the other side.
By evening, the people monitoring had already left.
Roen then put on his alchemist mask and went out to prepare.
Time flew by, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.
At this moment, early in the morning.
At the entrance of the clinic, Roen was bidding farewell to Litton and his daughter.
“Mr. Litton, and Lisa, don’t worry, once I rescue my sister, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible.”
Roen said solemnly, and Litton also nodded seriously.
Meanwhile, Lisa, who was beside him, hung her head, looking a bit sad and upset.
Seeing this, Roen couldn’t help but chuckle softly, and reassuringly stroked Lisa’s head.
Then, suddenly thinking of something, he said to Litton.
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Litton, I left a surprise for you in your laboratory.”
“After I leave, you can go and take a look, I’m sure you’ll be satisfied...”
At this point, Roen raised an eyebrow confidently.
Litton, however, was stunned and asked curiously.
“Oh? Is it a farewell gift?”
“Haha, you’ll know when you see it yourself.”
Roen laughed, then bid farewell to Litton and his daughter, and left the clinic.
A while later, Litton came to the laboratory.
He saw a small booklet and a bottle of pale yellow oily potion on the laboratory table.
“This... is the surprise Roen mentioned?”
