"Judging from your appearance, you should be almost fully recovered."
"Did you specifically send that gentleman here? Thank you for your trouble," Brian said sincerely to Gerdoff.
Jeff patted Brian on the shoulder, a hearty smile spreading across his square face. “I was just thinking that it would be such a waste if a man like you were defeated. So, on a whim, I approached him, hoping he could lend a hand. To be honest, when I found him, I wasn’t sure he would actually help.”
The two looked at each other and both broke into hearty smiles.
However, as he was laughing, Brian seemed to suddenly remember something, his smile froze, and he abruptly asked, "Um, what's his name?"
Gerdoff blinked, and asked with some confusion, "You don't recognize him?"
Not to mention Gerdrey, even Gergran, who was standing aside watching the commotion, asked with some doubt, "His reputation has become ridiculously big lately. You don't even know someone like him?"
The adventurer community is very small, and news spreads quickly.
She could understand why Gegrand wasn't well-known, since his fame wasn't as high as she had imagined.
The only thing they are widely known to the public, and quite famous even outside the industry, is probably their team name, Blue Rose.
But Roya is a bit different.
This is a very special person.
Generally, adventurers form a team, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses and supporting one another to deal with some very dangerous adventure missions.
Even the Dark Heroes is a two-person team.
But Luo Yatai is too special, for no other reason than that Luo Ya has always maintained the habit of being alone.
Yet this lone wolf has solved many troublesome tasks that even those steel-level adventurers find difficult, and he has solved most of the tasks in one go.
This means that Roya possesses strength beyond the realm of heroes, making him a unique figure in the entire kingdom.
Brian urged, "What's his name? Stop keeping me in suspense."
Gerdrey and Gergran exchanged a glance before speaking, "Roya Greirat."
Brian pondered the name for a while, his eyes filled with determination.
"One day, I will make him accept me!"
Gerdoff chuckled and said, "You're still the same as always. Looks like you've recovered."
"Yes, I feel much better now, but thank you for helping me regain my fighting spirit. In a way, you saved me, saved my life, and saved my life."
Brian reached out and solemnly grasped Gazef's hand, saying earnestly with deep affection, "Thanks to you, I was able to rekindle my passion for wielding a knife. I, Brian Angraus, will remember this kindness."
Jeff was a little embarrassed by Brian's words, but in this situation, he also smiled sincerely: "It's good that you have this idea."
The two talked for a while longer, during which Brian apologized for offending Greggran earlier.
Gegland snorted, but she wasn't petty and wouldn't hold a grudge. After chatting for a few minutes, she put the previous conflict behind her back.
As they chatted, their conversation naturally veered towards Roya.
This time, it wasn't Gagland or Brian who spoke up, but the taciturn Iverie.
Iver asked directly, "What do you know about Roya, Lord Gazef?"
This was undoubtedly a test; she wanted to know more about Roya's specific strength.
This is actually something a top adventurer should do.
There is very little information about Roya right now. The information circulating in the guild about Roya is just things like Roya has completed a quest with a difficulty level of X or Y.
But when asked about the process, everyone just stared blankly, unable to say anything.
There is very little information about Roya available on the market; it would be an understatement to say that it is pitifully scarce.
After some thought, Iverie decided that she could learn about Roya's basic information through Gerdoff.
After all, compared to those adventurers, Gazef's relationship with Roya seemed to be quite good.
With this in mind, Iverai uttered these words.
After a moment's thought, Gerdov replied, "Do you have any information about Roya? I'm sorry, I don't know much."
Chapter 426 [The Blue Rose]
"However, I am certain that Lord Roya is not a pure swordsman. In other words, his magic is also quite powerful."
This statement left the people in the room somewhat bewildered.
Brian's eyes widened in shock. "You mean, he's also a high-level magic caster?"
Human energy is limited, and most adventurers in this world will choose one area to specialize in: a mage is either a mage or a warrior is either a warrior.
This is similar to jobless reincarnation. Of course, this is not to say that it is bad. For most people, specializing in one skill is the right way.
After all, you can't bite off more than you can chew, and in fact, specializing in one thing can take you very far.
People like Luo Ya, who cultivate both physical and magical techniques, are ultimately too few and far between.
"Wait a minute." Iver Ai, who was standing next to him, seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "I once investigated his information. I remember that when Roya appeared, he was wearing a mage's robe."
"So, the opponent's forte is actually magic, and swordsmanship is secondary?"
Iverai began to speculate. Her curiosity and doubts about Roya did not diminish because of the information she had obtained earlier; on the contrary, they increased.
Gazef didn't delve deeper into the topic, but instead said to Iver, "Stop guessing. I only know a little bit, so how could you possibly deduce more information about Roya from my intelligence?"
"You're right."
Having ended the conversation about Roya, Gazef changed the subject, asking, "Are you planning to go to the capital next?"
"Hmm. I need to see the team leader later. Oh no, I seem to have taken a bit too long!" As he said this, Gegran frowned as if belatedly realizing something.
"This is terrible. I didn't expect to waste so much time. Our devilish team leader must be furious right now, right?"
The leader of the Blue Rose, Lajus Albein Thiel Eindra, is an old friend of the kingdom's third princess.
This legendary priest-warrior, who entered the realm of heroes at the age of nineteen, is not only a top-ranking adamantite adventurer, but also a noblewoman, or rather, a young lady from a noble family.
It is precisely because of this that the renowned leader of the Blue Rose would occasionally appear in the city of Lorenti, and was even invited by the kingdom's third princess to the Francia Palace to reminisce.
For example, this time, the two looked very relaxed, but they actually had a mission to complete.
The main purpose this time is to go to the capital to rejoin the main force and then carry out a secret commission issued by the Third Princess.
But clearly, Brian's situation has caused this matter to be delayed for quite some time.
Gegrand was already looking worried, but Iverai smiled and comforted him, "Actually, the situation isn't that bad. Although we've wasted a lot of time this time, we've gathered quite a bit of information, you know?"
"Intelligence?" Gegrand stared in confusion, not immediately understanding what kind of intelligence Iverai was referring to.
Iverai had no choice but to explain again: "Actually, the team leader had already instructed us to keep an eye on Roya Greirat."
"There's such a thing?! How come I didn't know?" Gegrand was taken aback.
Iverai glanced at Gegran with a cold expression and said dismissively, "Anyway, you're not good at this, so even if you knew, you'd only be causing trouble for everyone."
"Alright, alright, stop talking and let's go. Clem is probably getting impatient."
Clem is the personal attendant of the Third Princess.
An audience naturally requires the guidance of attendants, and Clem, as the personal attendant of the Third Princess, was responsible for these various troublesome matters.
After exchanging greetings, the group went their separate ways.
By the time the two members of the Blue Rose Squad met Clem, it was nearly noon.
Clem squinted at the two people running towards him from a distance, and couldn't help but complain, "Too slow, huh? I told you I'd come and get you, but you wouldn't have. Now look what's happened, His Highness will definitely complain about me."
Gegrand quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, something happened on the way and caused the delay. It's alright, I will explain this to the captain and His Highness in detail. I'm really sorry."
Clem was of average appearance, a typical blond, blue-eyed teenager. He was straightforward and old-fashioned, absolutely loyal to Princess Lana, and served as her personal bodyguard. The boy was dressed in full armor and looked quite impressive.
Clem sighed and said helplessly, "Never mind, let's go."
Royal capital, Yesteje, is the capital of this country and covers a vast area.
The capital city's perimeter is about 1,400 meters, surrounded by city walls. Around these walls are twenty massive cylindrical towers forming a defensive network that encircles and protects this vast land.
This is the royal city of Lorenz, the most important place in the kingdom. Within Lorenz, there are three magnificent palaces known as the Francia Palaces.
That place was the residence of the royal family of the Kingdom of Ri Yesteje, and also the residence of the kingdom's third princess.
Royal capital, palace.
The palace was naturally very large, as is the case in any country.
As the central hub of a country and the center of power, the palace can be considered the face of a kingdom, and its grandeur is naturally impossible to be small.
Clem led the two through a long corridor, which was filled with various murals and the floor tiles were spotless, giving it a very clean and tidy feel.
Clem knocked on the door first, and a clear, pleasant voice quickly came from inside.
"Please come in."
Clem then opened a door to a room and said to the two people behind him, "Come in."
Gegrand gave a curt "oh" and took the lead into the room.
The girl sitting in the main seat immediately caught everyone's eye.
