87: Gvas's pursuit, Knight Ron's identity exposed

In front of the experimental table.

Litton picked up the booklet and looked at it intently.

On the cover, the words "Method for Extracting Allicin" were clearly written.

"Allicin? What in the world is that?"

Litton was stunned, then, with some confusion, he flipped through the booklet.

Initially, his expression was quite calm, but after only half a minute, it began to grow serious.

"Wait, is this an antibiotic? A new type of antibiotic that can be extracted from garlic through a simple preparation?"

Litton's eyes slowly widened, and his heart began to pound.

He quickly continued to flip through, discovering that the booklet contained all the experimental records from this period.

Litton only needed to follow the instructions on it to replicate and extract the allicin.

In fact, the small bottle contained the finished allicin that Ron had already refined.

"Ron, this farewell gift of yours is truly too precious; how can I ever repay it?"

Litton's body trembled, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself.

One must know that while the God-Given Continent possessed various extraordinary abilities,

only a small portion of people had these abilities.

The vast majority of others were ordinary people like Litton.

Leaving aside the priceless alchemical potions,

even the advanced anti-inflammatory drugs in Doctor Gavin's hands were expensive, unaffordable for common folk.

Therefore, Litton had secretly sworn to himself, hoping to develop a medicine

that the vast majority of the lower-class people could afford.

However, his talent was ordinary, and after several years of research, he had no results.

But now, Ron had secretly produced allicin, an antibiotic with cheap, easily obtainable raw materials and a simple preparation method,

and had left the complete formula behind.

Ron didn't need to say the deeper meaning; he understood it.

So, Litton clutched the medicine in his hand, shedding tears while smiling with relief.

"Good boy, may you rescue Alice soon and return to meet us!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After leaving the clinic, Ron walked at a steady pace, arriving on the town's main road.

"According to the intelligence refreshed last night, Gevas will definitely follow, and then..."

Ron's mind was filled with thoughts, but his face showed no trace of them.

As he approached the city gate, he paused slightly, his peripheral vision sweeping over the corner of a nearby house.

Then, he continued forward, leaving Hibo Town.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the shadows of the house's corner.

This person was Gesi, his gaze fixed on Ron's retreating back.

Crack!

Suddenly, Gesi heard the sound of crushed leaves near his ear.

He was startled at first, showing vigilance.

After all, he was an Apprentice Knight.

Someone had managed to sneak up beside him silently.

This kind of skill made his heart clench.

"Gesi, what's the situation?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Gesi immediately reacted, bowing slightly to the side.

"Lord Gevas, that kid just left the town and hasn't gone far yet."

Next to Gesi, where there had been nothing, another figure now stood.

The newcomer was Gevas, who had rushed over after receiving the notification.

"Very good, call Geluni, and we'll follow him together."

Gevas said, and Gesi nodded, then waved towards the street corner opposite.

The next moment, another person dressed as a knight walked out.

This person was Geluni, who, like Gesi, was a retainer of Gevas.

After the three gathered, they left the small town and followed behind Ron.

Ten minutes later.

Gevas frowned, looking at Ron's back with suspicion.

"This kid... is he taking the shortcut to Kula City?"

Gevas murmured, and Gesi and Geluni exchanged glances, also somewhat surprised.

Originally, according to their plan,

Ron should have taken the safer, flatter main road to Kula City.

They would then seize an opportunity in the middle of the road, find a temporarily deserted spot, and quickly knock Ron out and take him away.

However, what they hadn't expected was that

after Ron left the small town for a distance, he immediately turned and headed towards the wild woods.

"Perhaps?"

Gesi and Geluni both said uncertainly.

They knew that next to the wild woods was Clear Spring Forest.

There was a secluded shortcut there that also led to Kula City.

However, after they had killed Nem and damaged his body to fake a monster attack,

basically no one used that shortcut anymore.

"Heh heh, this kid is quite bold, but that just makes it easier for us to act!"

Gevas sneered, then straightened up.

At this point, there was no need for further disguise; if he went forward and caught up with Ron, he would surely capture him.

However, just then,

Ron, who was ahead, suddenly stopped.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he turned his head to look.

Gevas looked up, and their eyes met.

Immediately, a playful smile appeared on Gevas's face.

"Hmm? Did he notice... Too bad, it's already too late."

Gevas thought to himself, just about to step forward.

But then, the next second,

Ron immediately took off running, directly entering the forest.

"Trying to run? Heh heh, it's not that easy. Chase him!"

Gevas's eyes were full of scorn, and then he dashed out in a single stride.

Gesi and Geluni followed closely behind, the three moving at a rapid pace, like galloping horses.

However, just then,

Ron's speed also gradually increased, and his figure was extremely agile, constantly leaping and dodging like a young deer.

"Hmm? No, this isn't right!"

The sneer on Gevas's lips froze, and then his expression changed slightly as he looked at the figure ahead with surprise and uncertainty.

"This speed... This is bad, is he a Knight?"

Gevas's pupils contracted, and his expression became very ugly.

Because Ron's speed at this moment had far exceeded that of ordinary people.

An ordinary person absolutely could not achieve this; only a Knight had this possibility!

"This kid, he's actually a Knight? How is this possible?"

Gevas's face was distorted, filled with both shock and anger.

Gesi and Geluni, who were beside him, had also noticed that something was wrong.

To keep up with Gevas's pace, they had pushed their speed to the maximum.

However, Ron's speed, compared to theirs, was even greater!

"Lord Gevas, this kid is not right!"

Gesi quickly whispered a reminder, and Geluni's expression was also solemn.

"Hmph! Of course I can see that!"

Gevas said coldly, then abruptly increased his speed, slowly pulling away from Gesi and the other.

"No matter what, let's catch this kid first!"

Hearing this, Gesi and the other exchanged glances, then could only desperately operate their Breathing Technique, barely keeping up behind Gevas.
