Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

Volume 1: Please take a leave, I am not feeling well

I feel particularly uncomfortable today. My eyes are all swollen and I can't open them. I'm gasping for breath even when I lie in bed. I just took some cold medicine and lay down. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Now that we are under lockdown, I can’t go out. I’ll take a day off. If I’m still not feeling better tomorrow, I’ll have to apply for approval to leave the school and see a doctor. I’ll try to waste as little time as possible.

It’s so difficult. When will this day end?

Volume 1: Chapter 90 My head has been itching lately, is it possible that I will grow a brain?

"Old Jose, you really messed with the wrong person."

After opening the curtain of the tent, Tolan complained to Old Jose who was waiting in the tent with a joking look on his face. After leading Roy in, he did not stay for long, nodded, and left.

"Okay, I've brought the people here too, you guys can chat, I won't bother you anymore."

Old Jose looked at the man with long green hair in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. He racked his brains but couldn't find any information about him. He was sure that he had never seen Roy, let alone offended him. After thinking for a moment, he decided to take the initiative to speak:

"Excuse me, may I ask whether you are......"

As soon as he said this, Skadi, who was following him, suddenly drew out the greatsword on his back, took a step forward, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Roy's forehead. The bounty hunter frowned, and her nose moved slightly, as if she smelled something terrible. Her expression suddenly became gloomy, and her face looked even uglier and horrible.

"Who are you....."

She spoke in a cold voice, her tone full of doubt, as if she didn't dare to believe the guess in her mind. In this brief interval, Old Jose also reacted, and quickly reached out his hand, pressed down Skadi's sword, and said sternly:

"Skadi, what are you doing!?"

Old Jose couldn't believe that Skadi, who was calm to the extreme, would draw his sword without saying anything to someone he had just met for the first time. Could it be that Skadi and Roy had some connection? And it was not a very harmonious relationship?

This would explain why Tolland said that he had offended Roy, because the person who actually offended Roy was not him, but this bounty hunter under his command who had an unknown origin but great martial arts skills.

But no matter what, at least here, Old Jose must not let Skadi and Roy fight. During the three days of waiting, he also learned some information about Roy. He is now a popular figure in the Great Knight Territory and even in the entire Casimir. He has a lot of money and power behind him. He is not someone that a small person like him who is on the edge of civilized society can afford to provoke. Even if it is not for the future, just for the sake of his own life and Skadi's life, he must stop Skadi.

"Stop it, Skadi. No matter what happened between you two before, put down the sword now. Mr. Roy is not someone you and I can offend!"

In order to prevent Skadi from doing anything more extreme, Old Jose even stood between Skadi and Roy, blocking the sword that was flashing with cold light. While persuading Skadi, he turned around and spoke kindly to Roy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Roy. My bounty hunter may have some misunderstanding with you. She has just started her business and doesn't know the rules. I will discipline her. Please let her go. Skadi, get out now."

Roy: “….”

Look at what you said, if you don't know me, you might think I'm some ultimate villain. I'll kill the whole family if I offend you.

I am just an ordinary office worker in Casimir, working for a boss who is not seen all day and whose orders can only be conveyed over the phone. My status is basically not much different from that of Bald Qiang in Boonie Bears and Big Monster in Happy Baby. At most, my "Boss Li" is a little more impressive, and I have to be a little more handsome too.

Just a little bit.

Old Jose's words made Roy feel that he would not survive more than three episodes, which was a bit scary. Roy didn't dare to admit it, and quickly explained:

"It's okay. Miss Skadi and I didn't know each other before, so you don't have to be too nervous. I can probably guess why she drew her sword against me."

Roy turned his gaze to the vigilant Skadi and asked tentatively:

"It's because of the [smell], right?"

This smell certainly does not refer to how much the shoes Roy wears match Brother Zhouba's XP, but refers to the [smell of the sea tide] on Roy.

To be more specific, it refers to the changes that the special growth module [The Last Knight] brings to Roy.

The [Last Knight] module is the most special module among all the modules Roy has. In its module introduction column, there is no record of any effect, but this does not mean that it has no effect on Roy's strength. On the contrary, the gain it brings almost directly sublimates Roy's combat power on paper.

The physical enhancement allowed Roy to resist the poison of the Helmetless Alliance, and the mental enhancement allowed Roy to not feel any fatigue even if he did not sleep for a week. The potential enhancements of reaction speed, strength, thinking sensitivity, and even sixth sense, crisis awareness, etc. were endless. Compared with those skill-based modules, the passive enhancement brought by the last knight module undoubtedly better met Roy's needs.

But what cannot be ignored is the origin of the Last Knight module - it was the powerful humanoid Haisi who appeared in the Deep Sea Line and became the BOSS of the Quiet Era in the second ending (Haisi Destruction Line) in Suigetsu Rouge!

In the game, if you choose to call for the help of the knight, you may get the special collection of the knight line [Breath of the Tide] or [Knight's Bone and Blood] in the next unexpected event. Of course, there is no such simple choice in reality. Roy couldn't help but wonder if the corners of his clothes had been soaked by the sea water.

And Skadi's first reaction after seeing him undoubtedly confirmed Roy's guess.

Seeing that Roy actually spoke, Skadi's face was filled with shock:

"Can you talk?"

Roy nodded: "Yes."

Skadi continued in disbelief: "Human language?"

Roy also asked back: "Isn't that what I said?"

"Strange." Skadi opened her eyes wide, with great doubt in her small eyes. She muttered to herself in confusion, "Hai Si shouldn't be able to speak. You are not Hai Si, but you have the breath of Hai Si. Are you a Deep Sea Cultist?"

"The big group is garbage, and the first-borns are all little brothers."

"It seems not." Skadi put down the sword and concluded seriously.

He knew the fanaticism of the Deep Sea Cultists. Not to mention cursing a large group of people so openly, just saying a bad word about Hai Si was like killing their biological parents. They would have to catch up with you and argue with you for a long time. When they saw people, they were either promoting their heavenly father and savior, or spreading the evil tentacle cuisine. Not to mention normal communication, it was a compliment to them to look like a normal person. Roy's appearance was obviously not like that.

But he was not an Agor either.

This was the most bizarre thing that Skadi had encountered since landing on land. All kinds of doubts made her scalp itch. She missed the days when she had the captain with her. It was enough for the captain to worry about such brain-killing things. Unfortunately, she saw the captain sink into the abyss with her own eyes.

Unconsciously, she began to think about the past again. Skadi shook her head, forced herself to be alert, and asked:

"Who are you, what do you want from me, and what do you know?"

It was surprising enough that a landman could easily say such proper nouns as "large group" and "newborn". At least Skadi had never seen other people since he came ashore, not to mention that he still had the scent of the sea tide.

What is his purpose in chasing the hunter?

"I'm Roy, Casimir Meteor Knight Roy, and I want to hire you for a match. As for what I know..."

Roy looked at Skadi and said seriously,

"I know the whereabouts of the other hunters."

"Deal." Skadi said without hesitation, which even surprised Roy.

"Don't you have any doubts? Don't you ask a few more questions? What if the hunter I'm talking about is a bounty hunter?"

"Why bother with so much? If you lie to me, I'll just chop you to pieces." Skadi said the terrible words calmly, "Are you lying to me?"

"No."

Ignoring the gangster-like remarks, Roy responded immediately.

But now I am sure that it would be really easy to deceive you.

Ulpian, look at what you teach.

Skadi, you are so gullible, don't let others trick you into joining the sea again!

PS: I feel much better today. It's probably not an allergy. I didn't eat anything I shouldn't have (I couldn't go out even if I wanted to eat). I'll update early today and go to the school hospital tonight.

Volume 1: Chapter 91: Skadi, You Are a Freshman

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Casimir Knights' Special Tournament. I am your old friend Big Mouth Mob."

"After a month of fierce competition, the top four players of the 23rd Casimir Major have been officially announced. Compared to this, I think everyone should be more concerned about the biggest dark horse of this special tournament, the meteor-like Meteor Knight, and what single-word title he will receive! Oh, yes, I am as concerned as everyone else! For this reason, I secretly inquired about the top-secret information within the Knights Association."

Big Mouth Mob lowered his voice, looking mysterious, which seemed to whet the appetite.

"I heard that the big men in the Knights' Association are so worried that their hair is falling out. If they hadn't used the latest technology to extract energy substances from Originium as the raw material for the Originium Cloud Conditioner, they would probably have gone bald by now!"

"Fortunately, before the last hair of the leaders fell off, I finally got some inside information about the single-word title of the Meteorite Knight! Do you want to know? Well, now that there are 48 hours before the single-word title is officially released, take out your terminal, log in to the official page of Casimir major or the official website of the Casimir Knight Association, click to enter the exclusive support interface for the titled knight, receive the support ticket, fill in the word in your mind, and support the knight. When the countdown is over and the single-word title is revealed, the participant who guessed correctly will have the opportunity to share million Casimir rubles! Action is worse than thought, why don't you take out your terminal quickly and guess the riddle together!"

"Of course, a friendly reminder, you can get multiple guessing opportunities by logging in and signing in continuously every day. If you want to support your favorite contestants and guess their banned accounts, you can also draw support tickets through the support lottery. There are also multiple gifts waiting for you to draw, such as the three-day and two-night Longmen vacation tour of Golden Apple Entertainment, the limited edition perfume set of Shihuaiya Group, and the monthly discount coupons of Lexia Crystal Dining! Come and participate!"

The promotional slogans on TV that made it hard to tell whether they were hype or advertisements were played every day during the breaks of every program in Casimir. Even Skadi, who had just arrived in Casimir, could almost memorize them. She looked at Roy who was still struggling with the scale beast can and asked curiously:

"Roy, are you angry?"

"Do you know what fire is?" Roy raised his head in surprise.

Skadi nodded as a matter of course. The civilization level of Agor was far higher than that of Terra, and the entertainment culture was even more diverse, ranging from classical art music to modern variety shows, and of course the concept of fire was included.

Before becoming a deep-sea hunter, the deep-sea hunter was just an ordinary Agor. Skadi also had an ordinary life that has become a vague memory. She believes that she is definitely not the silly killer whale that Roy said. She is very smart and has no problems with judgment. Of course, she knows what "fire" means.

"Then I am indeed quite angry." Roy replied, pinching his nose, and brought Skadi the can of herring scales that he had pried open with great difficulty.

Skadi wrinkled her face in disgust and pushed the can away like a dog shaking its head: "What the hell is this?"

Miss Skadi, your inverted sentences and erhua sounds make me wonder if you were born in the northeast of Dayan.

Roy complained in his heart. Do you know how much determination I made to buy this can of stuff from the supermarket? Why do you look at it with disgust? You Agors usually live in the sea. If you don't eat fish, can you eat sea cucumbers? I guess you can't eat sea cucumbers, otherwise all Agors would become deep-sea hunters.

"Canned herrings. There aren't that many varieties of scaly beasts in the landlocked country of Casimir."

"Are you going to torture me?" Skadi asked, blinking her big eyes. "If not, then give me some bread so I can live."

What a devastating statement! I felt a warm sensation on my back and my eyes... oh no, tears started to fall.

Roy removed the plate with disdain, gave half of his dessert cake to Skadi, and brought the topic back on track:

"I am just a Casimir idol, just average."

"Aren't you going to endorse it?"

Skadi asked,

"In our area, popular artists will endorse products, whether it's holding exhibitions for their own paintings or promoting their own products. They all do this. There are even art college dropouts who help people paint on the street."

Do you think you, a failed student, are serious?

Roy couldn't help but complain. He found that he had never stopped complaining since Skadi came.

But he answered seriously: "I don't endorse, I don't accept sponsorship, and I don't join any knight order, that is, a professional knight organization controlled by a consortium."

"Why? What a weirdo." Skadi couldn't understand.

In her opinion, since one has fame and corresponding abilities, it is only natural to do corresponding things. This is Agor's life status. As a person whose ambition is art, he can receive the best art education no matter where he comes from, and can also engage in the most equal art work no matter how he was born. But correspondingly, he must also produce something created by his profession for society. This can be a work of art, influence, or even abstract ideas and schools. After being recognized by the Council of Archons, they can be recorded as a contribution.

Failing the exam only means that he does not have talent in this area, but he can also leave and choose another career. At Agor, failure has no cost.

There is no one like Roy who only gets but does not contribute. Moreover, in Skadi's view, Roy is not completely rejecting. He cannot reject this society. It's like the advertisements on TV, which exaggerated hosts promote their money-making websites. Roy does not really appear to endorse them, but they have never given up using Roy's huge popularity and traffic.

He has not really, and cannot really, escape from this society. So what is the meaning of his persistence? Why can't he choose to compromise and go along with it?

Facing Skadi's question, Roy pondered for a while and did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked:

"Skadi, if one day I tell you something that will overturn your cognition and make your past decades of time and efforts a cruel joke, at that time, will you choose to stick to everything you have insisted on so far, or compromise with fate?"

"This..." Skadi looked at Roy. Although she didn't know why he asked her this, she always felt that this didn't seem like a hypothetical joke. "What do you mean?"

"Skadi"

Roy said in a rhythmic tone.

He didn't think that this kind of thing should be kept secret from Skadi. As we all know, many unnecessary misunderstandings and regrettable tragedies are caused by the good intentions of both parties to conceal the truth for the sake of each other. Since this matter will happen sooner or later, Roy prefers not to wait for Meili Ge to reveal it, but to inform Skadi directly in advance, so that she can make a more rational judgment with a clear mind in a more relaxed environment.

So, he stated very seriously:

"Why do I always get a headache when I hear weird mumblings?"

"Why is it that as long as you bleed, you will attract sea heirs even if you are on land?"

"Why can hunters breathe in water, fight with Hai Si, and even tell that I have the breath of Hai Si (fellow countrymen)?"

"There is only one answer!"

"Skadi Hunter is the heir of the sea, and you are the first newborn to walk on land!"

Volume 1: Chapter 92 The spy post is closed again

A drop of cold sweat ran down Roy's forehead. He repeatedly confirmed Skadi's expression, fearing that face would suddenly give him a Baosheng Yongmeng-like scream.

Although he had decided to tell Skadi about this in advance, Roy was not 100% sure about how Skadi would react after hearing these words, and how much she would believe and accept. After all, he and Skadi had only met for less than a day, and even if he activated the [Kal'tsit's Riddle] module, it was not a magical hypnosis app that could make Skadi believe whatever he said.

But surprisingly, after hearing this, Skadi was not surprised or unbelievable. Instead, she showed an extremely serious expression. Her red eyes stared straight at Roy and asked seriously:

"What is a firstborn?"

You don't know what love is! You stared at me like that, and I thought you were going to suddenly become confused and start singing.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"This word may be unfamiliar to you. Let's change it to another word. Newborn is another name for the Sea God that you hunters are fighting against."

When mentioning the Sea God, Skadi's expression became obviously serious. She looked Roy up and down carefully for the third time in just one day, with a suspicious look in her eyes.

The Deep Sea Hunter followed Agor's orders to attack Hai Si and killed Hai Si's mother goddess in the final battle. This matter was not known to everyone even in Agor. It was a high-level confidential event that only the archons were qualified to know. Logically speaking, a land person would have absolutely no possibility of knowing it.

But Roy knew that, just like how he claimed to know the whereabouts of other hunters and warned him not to get close to the ocean, with a secretive look on his face, this man gave him a sense of mystery, "full of secrets," from the first contact.

Moreover, unlike other secret keepers who deliberately kept things mysterious, Roy was never reluctant to share the secret knowledge he knew. But the more he shared, the more confused and lost Skadi became. The sense of clarity that knowledge should have brought to her mind seemed to be gone, and was replaced by more and more difficult to answer doubts.

Who is he, why does he know, and why did he tell me these things?

Roy is like an unusual riddle man. Every word he says has its meaning and can be interpreted, but when put together, they always form a huge mystery that makes people puzzled.
