〖Prison Star Calendar〗
〖Year 187, June 28〗
〖8:00 AM〗
〖Countdown to Confession Death: 21 days〗
At the break of dawn on the subsequent day, Tyler, having seen Emilia off to work at the Quest Guild, made haste to her home with keys in hand, resolute to complete the restorations within the day.
With the rapport established with Branch Chief Oleg, Tyler enlisted an industrious team of skilled and experienced craftsmen, who remarkably accomplished the restoration of Emilia\'s home within a day.
Moreover, Tyler acquired metal and stone, significantly reinforcing the doors and windows of Emilia\'s home, ensuring that average individuals could not force their way in through sheer strength.
Furthermore, Tyler erected a wooden fence adorned with iron thorns around Emilia\'s yard, which was then camouflaged with green plants.
In this way, any unsuspecting outsider who got pricked would certainly make a noise, thereby alerting the occupants of the house.
However, in reality, Tyler was overdoing it.
After observing for two days, it was clear that the Mayor\'s core power had completely disappeared. As for the power of the other subordinates, they had only served loyally because of the power and status of the Mayor. Now that the Mayor was gone, they scattered like rats deserting a sinking ship.
·
As Tyler was busy with the restoration and reinforcement of Emilia\'s house, an unusual guest arrived in Sunny Town in the afternoon.
The man, clad in shiny silver armor and riding a tall horse, was dragging behind him a giant demon with a size equivalent to an elephant.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Sunny Town, he attracted the attention of the people.
"Wow, that emblem... Could it be from the Emerald City Cavalry?"
"Yes, and it\'s from the strongest First Cavalry Unit!"
"My God, that\'s a captain\'s sleeve emblem!"
"So, he\'s the famous \'Silver Heavy Cavalry Knight – Garvit\'?!"
The hubbub quickly attracted more people, everyone on tiptoes trying to catch a glimpse of this distinguished knight from Emerald City.
However, this esteemed Garvit did not seem to care about the townspeople\'s welcome.
He just waved ceremoniously to everyone and then continued to move forward, looking down.
The onlookers were quite surprised. In rumors, this "Silver Heavy Cavalry Knight – Garvit" was a very high-profile and arrogant person, but now it seemed that he was quite low-key, at least not as ostentatious as the rumors.
Garvit found the town\'s guards and asked them to help settle the giant demon\'s body somewhere.
After that, Garvit started asking people if they knew a young man wearing a black cloak.
"I don\'t know his name, I just remember that he is very handsome, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old?"
Upon hearing the knight\'s description, the townspeople immediately had an answer in their hearts.
If you were to talk about the most handsome seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in Sunny Town, apart from Banning, there was no second choice.
But everyone was also puzzled, why would the famous "Silver Heavy Cavalry Knight – Garvit" be looking for Banning?
The townspeople didn\'t dare to delay in front of the knight, and they consciously began to help search for Banning throughout the town.
However, for some reason, Banning was nowhere to be seen that day.
After searching for a long time to no avail, Garvit happened to pass by Branch Chief Oleg\'s house and decided to first discuss the matter of the "Poison Blade Rat King" with him.
.
Unlike the previous day, there were few townsfolk gathered around Branch Chief Oleg\'s home.
Garvit, having left his warhorse Gaye waiting outside, knocked and entered Oleg\'s home.
Oleg, freshly recovered from severe injuries, was decorated with scars from burns, but this did not mar his appearance. On the contrary, it made this veteran warrior seem even more valiant and fierce.
"Long time no see, Branch Chief Oleg, how is your health?"
"Ah, if it isn\'t our renowned Garvit. Hahaha, how have you become so polite?"
Oleg, the branch chief, jested without any reservation.
In his memory, this rapidly progressing junior, ever since his fame, had always been very flamboyant and arrogant.
Now, seeing Garvit in this humble and polite manner, Oleg felt as though he had returned to the time when the lad\'s father was still alive.
"I was too arrogant before... Fortunately, a wise man enlightened me. He made me realize that I have strayed too far from my original intention during this period."
Garvit took off his helmet and scratched his hair in embarrassment.
— (A wise man?)
Oleg\'s eyes lit up. This seemed to be an interesting topic.
"Oh? This topic seems interesting, sit down, let\'s have a good chat!"
.
There were two reasons for Garvit\'s decision to come to Sunny Town to eliminate the "Poison Blade Rat King".
The first was to help his old friend, Branch Chief Oleg, to remove the threat lurking around Sunny Town.
The second was to increase his own military exploits — in order to compete for the position of the next head of the Emerald City Cavalry, Garvit had to establish more merits.
However, after actually encountering the "Poison Blade Rat King", Garvit found that the information was inconsistent with the actual situation, and the Rat King in the forest was much stronger than the information.
Based on his trust in Branch Chief Oleg, Garvit didn\'t think there was a problem with the information from the Quest Guild, so the only possibility left was that his subordinates had tampered with the information privately, making him mistakenly think that the "Poison Blade Rat King" was weak.
The reason why Garvit would suspect his subordinates was that although he was famous, he was actually just a figurehead captain.
He had suspected his subordinates of sabotaging him several times, but due to lack of evidence, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
If it were the Garvit from before, he would think that everyone was jealous of his talent.
But after being enlightened by that wise man yesterday, he finally realized that it was his poor interpersonal skills and relationships that had led to all this.
Ever since his father\'s death, Garvit had strayed too far from his original path.
"Now, Garvit, I heard that you single-handedly killed the \'Poison Blade Rat King\'?" Oleg asked with interest.
"It wasn\'t me who killed it. I was almost killed by the Rat King, but luckily that wise man saved me."
Garvit was full of regret as he spoke of his near-death experience, but when he mentioned "that wise man", his eyes lit up.
"That wise man?"
"Yes, but I haven\'t found him yet. I just passed by your place by chance, so I thought I\'d drop in for a visit."
"By chance? On the way? Good for you, young man. Has the position of Branch Chief Oleg fallen so low in your eyes? Who is this \'wise man\' you keep mentioning? What\'s his background?"
"I\'m not sure what his name is, but according to the people in your town, he seems to be called Banning."
"Banning...?"
Oleg\'s expression twisted in surprise.
In his understanding, Banning was indeed an outstanding young man, but not enough to accomplish the feats that Garvit described.
At present, Banning\'s strength has not been appraised in Emerald City, but according to Branch Chief Oleg\'s previous observations, he should be around level 20 in the first tier.
How could such a level of strength possibly save Garvit, and even defeat the "Poison Blade Rat King" on his own?
