.
The aroma of three props filled the air, different scents made Jason’s mouth curl.
Next, it was ti to disinfect with strong liquor.
Strong liquor wasn’t hard to find on the farm.
Not only did the farm itself store so, but the fallen bandits around had even more — for bandits, two things are essential: weapons and liquor.
Especially the latter.
Sotis, they would often trade the forr for the latter.
Of course, the final result was not too good.
Jason washed this ‘food’.
Taniel was not just standing idly by.
He started to help clean the battlefield.
Taniel chose those bandits who were strong and tough-looking, pulled their belts and shoelaces, and tied them up.
As for further body searches?
Taniel didn’t do them.
That was for Jason.
This was also the rule, the ‘Mystical Side’ default rule.
Taniel didn’t want to lose friends by breaking the rule.
Jason glanced briefly and then looked away.
Jason had full confidence in Taniel.
And these spoils?
Jason had his own plans.
However, that was sothing to deal with after Bondi and Holle arrived.
Now?
It was naturally ti to feast.
The first thing to eat was the silver coin, which was crisp, with a strong mint flavor and a hint of cocoa.
A bit like mint chocolate.
And the crystal stone that had a salty and spicy taste was sowhat like mushroom bits marinated in salt, oil, and chili, quite chewy and tasted nice, much like a snack Jason used to eat in his childhood.
However, he couldn’t quite recall the na.
The taste of the dagger was bland, but the texture was excellent, much like duck intestine.
Coupled with the salty and spicy crystal stone, it was very enjoyable.
Naturally, more delightful were the words appearing before his eyes —
[Swallow the Coin of Malignant Fate]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries greatly recovered!]
[Satiety 60]
[Satiety: 29871]
…
[Swallow the Tears of the Fla Giant (Mixed Blood, Broken)]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries greatly recovered!]
[Satiety 80]
[Satiety: 29951]
…
[Swallow the Lightweight Entwined Blade (Damaged)]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries greatly recovered!]
[Satiety 100]
[Satiety: 30051]
[Excitent of Feast 1]
[Excitent of Feast: 594]
…
Satiety fitting the aroma of food.
But the [Lightweight Entwined Blade (Damaged)] having Excitent of Feast was unexpected to Jason.
"A pleasant surprise.”
Jason comnted thus.
Then, he joined Taniel in the bandits’ binding squad.
anwhile, the valuables and weapons on the bandits were also searched and brought out by Jason.
However, Jason didn’t pocket them, but tossed them aside.
And while the two were busy, Bondi and Holle gradually approached the southern suburb farm’s range.
"Archie!”
Bondi made a gesture towards a young man in the squad.
The young man imdiately nodded, crouched, and made his way towards the southern suburb farm.
The map of the southern suburb farm had long been morized by Bondi and the young man, just like they knew the southern suburb farm had beco full of dangers at this mont.
Because, with limited officers, Bondi was already running around dealing with these bandits.
He hadn’t investigated what the southern suburb farm had turned into since bandits took over.
Bondi was very clear that, apart from one or two, his lads really didn’t have the ability to complete thorough reconnaissance.
Even he wasn’t confident.
He wasn’t skilled at reconnaissance.
Using the few chances to risk it.
Also having to take on the risk of failure, and even alerting the enemy.
Bondi certainly wouldn’t do that.
But this ti was different.
Taniel had been bound.
He had to take the risk and try.
At the sa ti, he prepared for the consequences of possible failure.
Thinking of this, Bondi checked his firearms again.
Two revolvers.
One military rifle.
And a dozen grenades.
These were all his weapons.
Not that he didn’t want to carry more, but carrying more would affect the action.
Seeing Bondi check the weapons, the remaining eight people imdiately sprang into action.
As seasoned detectives of the precinct.
These detectives not only had rich experience in detecting cris but even richer fighting experience.
In fact, the latter far exceeded the forr.
After all, for those with a military background, handling firearms was truly ingrained.
Likewise, they knew how to adjust themselves before a big battle.
Or through breathing.
Or through thinking.
Yet, not a single person complained.
Regarding rescuing Taniel, these seasoned individuals were absolutely willing.
Because Taniel’s potions had saved them more than once.
If they lost Taniel.
The upcoming battle would be hopeless for them.
Understanding this, these veterans could be said to be taking the sa all-or-nothing gamble as Bondi.
Rustling.
The unmistakable sound of bodies brushing past bushes was heard.
Without Bondi’s command, half of the eight veterans raised their guns, and the other half picked up the gun sounds.
The gunfire was extrely loud at night.
Once the gunfire erupted.
The elent of surprise would be lost.
Therefore, knives were more suitable.
"To be unexpectedly hit by bandits.”
Bondi thought helplessly.
Apart from them, those who ca here must be bandits.
As for Archie?
Archie, being a seasoned scout, would never be so reckless…
"Archie?!”
The next mont, everyone looked at the approaching figure.
It was Archie.
Stumbling and dazed, a soul-less Archie.
"What happened?”
Bondi inquired while glancing behind Archie.
Bondi thought there were pursuers.
But there was no one behind Archie.
The surrounding detectives also gathered and looked at Archie with concern.
"Ja-Jason…”
"There!”
"Over there!”
Archie stamred out.
"Jason?”
"What happened to Jason?”
Upon hearing news of another friend, Bondi imdiately beca tense.
The ti spent with Jason was not long.
Only one week.
The ti apart from Jason was also not long.
Also one week.
But during the ti together, it felt like a whirlwind.
When apart, each day felt like a year.
Bondi really missed Jason dearly.
"Dead…”
"All dead!”
Archie’s fragnted words made Bondi unable to stand idly waiting for news. After gesturing to his subordinates, he cautiously stepped out of the bushes.
The other subordinates did the sa.
Not knowing what had happened.
Caution was necessary.
And about ten minutes later, Bondi’s eyes widened observing the scene before him.
In front of a campfire, Jason sat there, Taniel was roasting a ham.
Surrounding them were bound bandits, numbering two to three hundred.
Also a considerable number of corpses.
What happened?
Bondi stood there stunned.
So did those subordinates.
"Lord Jason?!”
When one spoke up, Bondi ca back to his senses.
As the sheriff, he rushed over, hugging Jason tightly and patting his back hard.
"Long ti no see, Jason.”
Bondi said happily.
"Long ti no see, Bondi.”
"Want so ham?”
Jason responded.
To Bondi, whom he t in the first quest world, Jason had considerable goodwill.
Or rather, he already regarded him as a friend.
Being offered food by Jason, that signifies friendship.
"Of course.”
Bondi sat down, glanced around, then continued saying, “Can you tell what happened?”
"I’ve spent the past week organizing ‘Old Jazz’s’ inheritance, then, upon hearing Taniel was kidnapped, I rescued him.”
Jason stated truthfully.
"I know! I know!”
"The process!”
"I want to hear the process!”
Bondi spread his hands and shrugged, while Jason’s gaze shifted to the shadows in the distance.
Under Jason’s watchful gaze, a figure walked out.
"If you don’t mind, I would also like to hear.”
The person said.
This was a man dressed in a black formal suit, wearing a black hat, underneath was a white shirt and a gray vest, with a golden watch chain hanging from the vest.
Clean black shoes reflected the firelight, and the cane was tucked under his arm.
Facing Jason’s gaze, the person removed the hat, bowed slightly as a greeting.
And when the person took off the hat, seeing clearly the person’s appearance in the firelight, Taniel exclaid—
"It’s you!”
