Quenched long order

Chapter 72 Rune Sword

In the commander's office, neither the commander nor the inspector took a break. They were sitting at their desks, as if they were discussing something, their expressions were very serious.

There was a knock on the door.

The two turned their heads at the same time and looked at the door.

After getting permission, Saul pushed the door and entered. He was about to say something, but he happened to see the process of the inspector and commander's expression changing from serious to relaxed.

When the commander saw Sauer, he stood up immediately, and then said in a very enthusiastic voice: "Guard Sauer, how is the situation?"

Saul didn't answer right away, flattered that he had seen the Commander show such an expression to him for the first time.

After greeting the two of them, he briefly explained what happened tonight. Of course, he also concealed the fact that he already knew the name of the soul.

After the inspector and the commander listened, they all had surprised expressions on their faces.

"I've never encountered such a thing before." The commander couldn't believe that someone could still maintain a human mind despite being polluted, and could even hide among humans, only revealing his true body when needed. This situation has never happened on Stewart Island.

Since the island garrison was stationed on the island, no matter how serious the pollution outbreak was, there had never been a monster of the level of mutated Regis.

"However, Haval, this is consistent with our previous speculation. Otherwise, the outbreak of pollution could not have just matched so perfectly with the turmoil." When the inspector spoke, he nodded slightly, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about more serious topics at the same time.

"Thanks to you Sauer, I never thought that there are talents like you among the miners." The commander praised.

Saul smiled and didn't say much.

"It's just that I'm worried about one thing." The inspector stood up, his eyes fell on the firelight in the corner, and the dancing flames were reflected in his eyes, "Since both Regis and Bill are in this situation, could it be that other people have also begun to change?"

"Not ruled out." Sauer replied, this is something he has thought about, and even has a candidate in his heart, for example, his companion Garland, who is likely to be in the process of transformation, "We should leave Stewart Island as soon as possible. If we continue to delay, no one knows what will happen."

He didn't ask clearly, but the hint was already very obvious.

Stewart, how long until the refurbishment is complete?

That's what he really wanted to say.

"I've had people repair it overnight, and it will be tomorrow night at the earliest." After finishing speaking, the commander sighed, turned his head to look at the dark night outside the window, and was full of thoughts, "When the time comes——"

"Needless to say, Haval." The inspector stopped the commander from continuing, "It's not your fault. No one expected this kind of thing to happen. Our response is already very good. If someone else comes in, the garrison may already be lost. Besides, there is still half a month's food in the garrison. The rest of the soldiers can save some food, and they can fully survive until the rescue fleet arrives."

Shalton suddenly understood that the two were discussing which soldiers to abandon tomorrow.

The boat ticket is the reason why he has been working for the inspector.

"Guard Sauer, the army stationed on the island will not forget your contribution. When I return to Westwood Port, I will report your contribution. Don't worry, the rewards for heroes are always very generous." The commander's voice became impassioned when he said this.

Saul nodded his thanks.

"If there is nothing else, I'll go to rest first." Sauer didn't plan to stay too long, he still has things to solve tonight.

"Wait for Saul." The inspector stopped Saul.

Saul looked up and looked at the inspector with puzzled eyes.

"I heard that Garland seems to be sick, should he be all right?" the inspector asked with concern.

Sauer's pupils contracted, he shook his head slightly, and replied: "He is fine, but he is overworked and needs to rest."

"Really?" The inspector blinked, "Guard Sauer, I have a question, can you answer me?"

"Excuse me." Saul replied very simply, and he already had a guess in his heart.

"If Garland, that blue-eyed miner, is also contaminated, what would you do?" The inspector stared at Sauer's expression, as if he wanted to see some clues from this face.

"I don't know the supervisor, what kind of answer do you want to hear?" Saul's face was calm, and he smiled with helplessness in his smile. Before the supervisor answered, he continued: "Garland is my best friend, but if he is really polluted and turned into a monster, then he will no longer be the original him, and I will naturally deal with it according to the regulations."

The inspector seemed very satisfied with this answer. He took out a more refined saber from under the table and handed it to Saul, "This is a rune sword strengthened by alchemy. It is sharper than ordinary sabers. This afternoon at the station, I found that you are very talented in fighting, but because you don't have a suitable weapon in your hand, you can't show your true strength, so I will give you this rune sword, hoping to help you."

Why didn't you give it to me sooner?

Saul complained in his heart.

He recalled the scene when he slashed the mutated Regis's skin with a sword in the dense forest. If he didn't know the soul name and the ability had an offensive effect, the person whose body is lying in the dense forest now is likely to be him. Even if he didn't die, he couldn't kill the mutated Regis.

Tucao returned to Tucao, he still stepped forward and took the rune sword in his hand.

The rune sword was heavier than ordinary sabers. He took the rune sword out of the scabbard and observed it carefully in front of his eyes. There were two triangular symbols engraved on the sword. White light flowed on the two symbols. He put the pad of his left index finger on the blade and felt the sharpness of the blade. He found that it was indeed sharper than the standard saber.

"You have been busy all day today, go down and rest first." The inspector mentioned.

Saul put away the rune sword, thanked him, and opened the door to leave.

As Saul left, the Overseer sighed and sat back in his chair.

"What's wrong with Duncan?" The commander was very puzzled.

"I hope that Saul won't do anything to Garland." The inspector shook his head slightly, "In this way, you will be safe."

The commander tilted his head, the expression on his face froze, then he closed his eyes, and replied: "I hope I can last until tomorrow night." As he said that, he rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, and his forearm was as black as charcoal. On the edge of the blackened forearm, many black filaments could be seen extending outward.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here." The inspector patted his old friend on the shoulder and comforted him: "Even if you are polluted at that time, I can control you. Don't worry, I won't let Sauer hurt you. If he persists, I will kill him."
