Chapter 269 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 269

Encrid, Jaxon, and Sinar arrive at a village guarded by two young vigilantes. Jaxon uses his impressive acting skills to pose as a merchant, successfully soothing the timid guards and gaining entry. As they walk through the village, Encrid observes several anomalies: the village lacks farmland despite its large population, the inhabitants appear highly trained, and there is a pervasive sense of being watched from rooftops and alleyways. Jaxon continues his performance, using coded language to communicate observations to Encrid, such as the village's defensive layout and the suspicious nature of the inhabitants. They encounter a cheese merchant with calloused hands, suggesting he is a trained combatant. Upon arriving at the local inn, Jaxon's persona drops, revealing his true, meticulous nature. He anticipates that the village intends to spike their food with sleeping agents and prepares their room with extreme caution, oiling window hinges and inspecting the bed and ceiling to ensure they are not ambushed. Encrid, preoccupied with his own swordsmanship, observes Jaxon's professional foresight, noting how well the two work together as partners.
