After running for about 5 minutes, Gray was already far away from that place but Gray didn't relax because the AI chip warned him that another senior knight is chasing after him. According to the AI chip, this person is a little weaker than Gray but right now he doesn't know if there are any other senior knights, and also Gray is injured so he just increased his speed. After becoming Senior knight Gray's running speed is more than 90 km per hour. Although his stats are stronger than a cheetah from earth but the human body is not made for fast speed. Just like a house cat can run faster than a human although they are very much weaker compared to a human.
While running Gray took out a small glass bottle and drank it which was the healing elixir he got from the dead body of Elric's pursuers from the Elliott family.
After running for another 10 minutes the wound in Gray's hand stopped bleeding and was slowly healing. The wound in his hand almost reached the bones which caused him a lot of pain and blood loss but now it is only itching a little.
AI chip is that person still chasing after me?
"Beep there are no large life force inside the scanning range"
Looks like I finally lost him.
After this Gray finally has the time to think about this incident.
That was truly very dangerous but Looks like this will not End like this. From what that man called Ramos said, he is an important member of a family called Elliott Family.
If I knew there are more people I have tried my best to flee but now my identity exposed although this kingdom is very big and there is a very low chance of them finding me but still I have to be more careful, from today's incident it can be seen that anything is possible, if not how can they appear just when he came to this place to hunt those wolves. If I was stronger I could have avoided all these problems by killing all of them here. But now who knows how much I have to suffer.
Thinking all this Gray couldn't help stop for a moment because suddenly he realized how much his thought process changed after coming to this word. Just now he killed someone but again he was thinking about killing others.
But then he remembered his goal and life long dream
and asked the AI chip to find the shortest root to the Greenwood city and started moving toward that direction at his fastest speed.
I have to find a way to become a Magus as soon as possible and anyone who stands in my way to become extraordinary will Perish, as for morality and justice? as someone said "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" and in this world strength is justice.
.....
The place where Gray killed Ramos, The young miss from the Elliott family was setting near Ramos's body, her eyes were red which was more from anger than sadness because Ramos was her stepbrother but still he was her own blood and someone actually dared to kill him.
Suddenly she saw a person coming towards them-
After seeing that this was the senior knight guard who chassed after Gray.
She asked "who was that person and why have you come back without his head"
Hearing these rude words the senior knight was not angry. although he was a very respected senior knight but in front of the Elliott family where dozens of senior knights and one Grand knight in their ranks he was nothing.
So he said in a soft voice-
"young miss although that person is a strong senior knight I never have seen him in the capital city, I think he is an adventurer who came here to hunt that wolve. Although he was injured but still his speed was faster than me and he also has very detailed knowledge of this area, so he managed to escape.
After hearing this the young miss wanted to yell some more but after remembering how strong her brother was and still he was killed, she stopped. Then she asked the female guard behind her to send a letter to her father, telling him what happened here and also how this person might be the same person who helped Alric escape.
After only half a day, Gray was already close to Greenwood city which previously took him days to reach.
Before exiting the jungle gray cleaned himself in the river and then went toward the city gate.
Seeing Gray coming toward them one of the guards at the Gate stopped him and asked-
"Who are you"
But after seeing Gray's Face his companion suddenly came forward and stopped him then said to Gray-
Sire, please forgive his rudeness, he doesn't know that you went on a mission assigned by our city lord.
Hearing all this Gray knew that the city lord told the guards about him and the mission.
So after staring at the guard who stopped him, he directly entered the city and, because it was already starting to get dark he went toward the hotel he previously stayed.
After Gray left the guard that stopped Gray asked his partner
Who is that and why you are being so respectful toward him? He doesn't look like a noble and I never have seen him in the town.
Hearing this his comrade said-
You idiot you are quite lucky that this lord doesn't have a short temper. That lord is a knight and he received the mission of killing those wolves from the city lord. And the city lord said if he returns successfully from the mission he can stay in our town as long as he wants.
Hearing this and remembering how Gray looked at him, his back was drenched in cold sweat and thanked his partner for stopping him in time. Who knows what these guards will do if they knew that Gray is already a Senior knight
Although there are few junior knights in Greenwood town but there is only one senior knight that is the city lord.
...
After returning to the small hotel where Gray previously stayed he found out that someone else booked his old room so he ordered another room for one night and told the owner to deliver the dinner to his room.
After entering the room he saw a small bed near the window and a small table where a lantern was burning. Gray sat in the bed and started to think about what to do next-
Although I was able to Escape today from those people but I can't stay in this city for too long, I am sure that there will be people coming after me. After all, I killed the son of an Earl.
After a few minutes, someone knocked on the door. Opening the door Gray saw a 15-16 years old girl was holding a few pots in her hand. She has long red hair, black eyes and an average look.
Seeing that Gray staring at her the Girl lower her and said with a bearly audible sound. Lord this is your food.
Seeing this Girl Gray was a little surprised because although he previously stayed here but his treatment is very different from before. Previously the hotel owner himself delivered the food and bearly talked to him but now, when he was booking the new room the hotel owner was very polite and now what looks like the hotel owner even sent a girl which Gray assumed is the owner's daughter because how small this hotel is and how he never saw any other staff here.
Gray took the pots from the hand of the girl and was about to close the door when the Girl again said,
"Lord if you need anything else or someone to warm your bed you can call me"
Saying this she lower her head even more and waited for Gray's response.
After hearing this and from the previous incident at the city gate, Gray can now guess that somehow many people know that he is a junior knight. It only means that the City lord told everyone about him and his mission.
Thinking this Gray frowns because this is not good news for him. This town is the closest human settlement from the place where he killed Ramos and if someone comes looking for him here they will find out about him very quickly after this.
Seeing Gray frown the Girl was frightened, she thought about what her father said that this lord is a very powerful knight and she should do whatever he asked of her.
Seeing the Girl's frightened expression Gray stopped thinking about it and asked the girl to leave and closed the Door. Although Gray still a virgin despite already 23 years old But right now he doesn't have the mode or a wish to have sex with an immature girl when he might face life-threatening danger at any time. Right now Gray just wanted to get the information about how he can become a magus from the City lord and leave this Town. Although he wanted to go right now but it is considered very rude here to visit someone at night if they are not close friends and Gray also didn't want to let the City lord find out that he is in a rush.
After eating the food Gray practiced the breathing manual which now has very little improvement and went to sleep.
The next day Gray weak up early and after breakfast, he went straight to the castle of the city lord.
When the guards saw Gray they immediately greeted him with respect and Said-
"Lord please wait for a moment I will inform the city lord right now"
Saying this the guard ran into the castle and after a few minutes the guard came out and said-
Our lord is waiting for you inside the library, please follow me inside.
Hearing this Gray followed the Guard inside the castle walls and went toward the left side of the castle where the library was but this time he entered through another door instead of the door which he entered through previously.
After reaching the door the guard stopped and signaled Gray to enter.
After entering the Library Gray saw everything was just like before and the city lord was sitting on a chair in the middle.
Seeing Gray enter the City lord said with a smile-
I was just about to send some people to find you after not receiving news from you for more than two weeks. I was worried that you may have met with some misfortune.
Although Gray didn't believe this but he still smiled and Said-
"Thank you for that but tanks to city lord's instruction I was able to complete the mission but because of the alpha wolves which managed to escape, it took longer than I expected.
Hearing this the city lord was surprised because although he gave this mission to Gray on a wimp thinking if Gray can kill one or two wolves from the group the wolves will stop attacking for some time and he will get some time to hire a senior knight from the capital city and kill those wolves.
But this young junior knight in front of him somehow managed to kill the entire wolves pack. Although junior knights can kill a normal beast but a group of them is very dangerous and in this small town, no one wanted to take that risk.
Thinking this the city lord looked at Gray and tried to sense how strong Gray truly is, but to his surprise, he can sense a very dangerous vibe from Gray. Seeing this he thought Gray hid his strength from him previously. Thinking this the city lord smile even brighter and said-
So this young friend is also a senior knight. Previously we have not introduced ourselves properly. I am George Cox city lord of this town. Can I have the pleasure to know the name of this young friend?
After hearing this Gray thought how previously because he was a junior knight the city lord show very little interest in him but now how polite he was behaving. Only people with equal strength have the right to talk to each other on equal terms.
