(One of the Power System of this World: Normal soldiers < Junior Knights < Senior Knights < Grand Knights)
After seeing the map Gray was a little surprised because although he can't read the writings but still he can tell by the markings of the previous owner and the position of the sun in the sky that right now he is not that far from human settlements.
If my guess is correct right now I am located on the west side of a certain country or kingdom. Although I can't tell exactly how far I am from this but if I follow this river and go east I will reach this place eventually which looks like a small town. After reaching this place maybe finally I will able to find more pieces of information about his world and also if possible learn the language of this place.
Thinking to this point gray stopped looking at the map and finally looked at the final two things he got from looting them. Both of these looked like some sort of medicine locked inside two small glass containers but he can���t tell what are the uses, so he poured one drop from each container in his finger and ordered the AI chip to scan these.
"Beep Scanning successful, taking the host's biology as the main factor in the simulation"
"Beep Sample one has accelerated healing properties"
"Beep Sample two has a high concentration of nutrients and high amount of unknown energy"
"Beep after consuming 10 ml of sample two host's attribute will increase by =>0.2"
Again this unknown energy, AI chip name it food energy for now.
"Beep Naming was successful"
I don't know why that person keeps somethings like this with him without using it but I am right now in a jungle filled with danger everywhere so I need every bit of help I can get.
After thinking this Gray drank the second bottle of medicine in one gulp which was about 30 ml. After that, he can feel a heat was spreading all over his body from his stomach.
"Beep host's cells are absorbing food energy all attributes are increasing"
Suddenly Gray was feeling very sleepy. AI chip what happened why I am feeling so tired all of a sudden.
"Beep Host's Bone and muscle cells are experiencing changes because of the increased strength, Host is recommended to sleep for faster progress"
Hearing this gray was very glad but he can't just sleep in the ground in the middle of a jungle so he quickly climbs a tall tree and after finding a comfortable place to sit he quickly fell asleep.
...
After an unknown amount of time Gray suddenly open his eyes, after seating up he looked at the surroundings and find out it is already noon.
I slept for almost 4 hours. AI chip show my new stats.
"Beep Name: Gray Agarwal Strength:1.68 Agility:1.7 Vitality:1.59"
Seeing this Gray was a little disappointed, although my attributes increased greatly but it just a little bit better than a pro athlete from the earth. Looks like I still can't defeat monsters just with my bare hands like those fantasy heroes. After thinking this and laughing to himself he picked up the sword and climb down the tree then starts heading east following the narrow river.
What Gray didn't know that, the young man he killed was a son of a rich merchant family and they bought an extremely valuable treasure to auction it in their own auction house and only a few people knew about this because it can use to break the balance of power in a kingdom and because of this some people will go to any length to get their hand on this. But the young master of this merchant family was a good for nothing and was madly in love with a lady of a Noble Family and to impress her he told her about that treasure in advance. But after that what happened was the worst nightmare of his life. All his family members were executed for stealing and he was chased deep in the jungle where the guards of the noble family finally caught up to him.
after Gray left the next day 4 people came to that place where he encountered that young man and his pursuers. In front was a very beautiful young lady who was inspecting the half-eaten body of those who pursued that young man, behind her was standing two-man and one woman wearing lather armor, Long swords were hanging from their waist. Although the young lady was inspecting incomplete and bloody bodes there was no change of expression on her face.
Young miss, it looks like that thief used some tricks to kill them and even looted all their belongings, Said the lady guard behind that young lady.
Suddenly that young lady opens her mouth and said with an extremely enchanting voice-
I know that trash very well, he is already 20 but he still wasn't able to break through to a senior knight level.
But miss…
When the other guard was going to say something the young lady interrupted him with a hand gesture.
No need to say anything else, although these three had low-grade breathing manual but still they were senior nights and they also had one good formation technique so it should have been very easy for them to capture one junior knight. But it looks like that trash somehow escaped.
I can see bone-deep cuts in these bodies even with their Senior knight level defense I think he had someone's help.
But young miss who will have the guts to kill the guards of a Noble family? Asked the female guard behind her.
Firstly they were hiding their true identity because it was a secret mission and I don't know who helped him but we have to find him. If news about that matter leaks out then our enemies will use this to suppress our Elliott family. Send this news back let Father make the decision.
Although Gray was extremely careful and even killed a person to hide his traces but he was still discovered because of one miscalculation from both side Gray didn't have enough information about this world and the Elliott family's young miss never imagined that some like that young man called Elric will use a very rear and dangerous elixir to increase his strength temporarily to save his life and almost succeed if not for Gray.
Gray who was oblivious to all this still heading toward the east to find the small town. After walking for more than 2 days Gray can fell that the jungle is becoming less and less dense these two days he also hunted a wild boar with a very deadly trap which he can now set up because of his improved strength and the sword, although he could have hunted without any traps but Gray never liked taking unnecessary risks. After eating the boar his strength increased again a little bit.
I am finally out of the jungle. He was in this jungle for almost two weeks and now he looks like a beggar. Although the clothes he was wearing were from the Earth but after not washing and also with his growing beard and uncombed hair he looks just like a middle-aged homeless man.
Walking for another two hours after exiting the jungle Gray finally can see a road that was leading to a gate.
I have already hidden the sword before exiting the jungle, just in case weapons are not allowed for civilians, I hope I can enter the City. From the looks of it, the technology in this world is not very developed, there are no cars or even electricity.
Finally, he reached the city gate and two guards in metal armor was standing there like in the old museums on the Earth behind them was a 5-meter tall wall inside that he can see few buildings in the far.
Gray slowly approaches the gate. AI chip scan these soldiers in front of me.
"Beep Scanning successful
Name: Unknown Strength:1.2 Agility:1.1 Vitality:1.5
Name: Unknown Strength:1.3 Agility:1.1 Vitality:1.5"
Hearing this gray relax because even if something happens he can easily escape from them. When he was about to enter the city one of the suddenly said in loud voice-
Hold,
Who are you?
Gray was already prepared for this so he quickly told a made-up story where he is an amateur adventurer and he lost his way after entering the jungle and after 10 days wandering around he finally came out near this city.
Hearing his story the guard was looking at his face,
noticing this Gray was a little nervous because all though Humans in this world looks almost the same as him but there is still some difference like all the people he met here don't have dark black hair and stained skin like him.
But after some time the guard spoke you look like from the west side of the Continent. You can enter the city but you have to give entry free and you can't stay for more than a week.
Hearing this Gray remembers he doesn't have money but still asked because he had some gold and silver pieces with him and like old days those might be the currency that used here.
The guard immediately answers with a hidden smile.
'One silver coin'
Noticing this Gray knew this was a scam but he wants to avoid trouble so he just gave in.
After receiving the money the guard was a little surprised but he gave Gray a small Wooden plank and let him Enter the City.
Before entering the City Gray asked the guard one last question. Can you tell me the name of this city?
Hearing this question the guard said-
'Green Wood City'
