บท 4: Interrogating Jon!
Ivan checked his stats and felt lucky that his HP had not fallen to 0 when he was fighting Reco, or else he could guess his ending. He has to stop the bleeding as fast as he could, but before that, he needs to interrogate Jon.
Ivan naturally ignored that killing Reco had brought him six points. He didn't want to think about it, or Ivan would be attracted to killing another human for Exp. He can't see humans as the source for experience points; Ivan had a bottom line.
"You don't... know?" Jon asked with an unnatural face.
"Just answer my question!"
"Alright, alright... My name is Jon, and I'm a member of the Blacktooth Bandit group."
"Where is this place?"
"We are on top of the black tooth hill on the edge of the wild wolf forest... Brother, did you lose your memories." Jon asked knowingly.
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you know about us and this place when you were following the path towards the White Tiger City? We usually ambush people and caravan who walk through this path and do not pay the toll fees... I know you. Are you called Ivan or something, right? and I was also the one to transport you here some days ago after no came to pay the ransom fees after which the third chief... almost killed... you!"
Jon looked down at Ivan's uncovered upper body, he was shocked to see Ivan beautiful and alive, and the massive wound on his chest to his lower abdomen has also closed up.
"Don't stop! Keep on speaking. Tell me how you captured me and also how to escape this place without getting noticed." Ivan knew what the guy was thinking.
"You... You were going towards the White tiger city in a carriage for joining the academy there. We asked for the toll fees, but you didn't pay any as you were too poor. I remember those three people should be your guards traveling with you, but they escaped the moment when they saw us. You and your driver were captured since you couldn't escape and didn't pay the toll fees."
"We thought the guards who escaped would probably inform your family, and they would come to pay your ransom, but no one came. Since you were only wasting our food, the third chief hit you with his saber to kill and told us to throw your body here. At that time, you still had a breath left, but we thought you would die anyway, you know, being thrown here without any treatment."
Ivan listened to the bandits every word very carefully. Jon told him, they would usually come to throw dead bodies here almost every day and would also see him lying on the ground.
They thought Ivan already died, and they also never checked, but it seemed the previous owner of this body was barely alive and passed his days here in the hope of being rescued. Ultimately, he died, and he should have possessed this body soon after that.
Jon then cooperated with Ivan to tell him the safest route to escape from this place, which was to follow behind him, but Ivan refused it almost immediately. He knew the bandits had horses with them; they could catch up to him if he follows the road to the White tiger. Also, Jon could betray him when they pass through the middle of their camp.
"Then, there's only one route that you can take, and no bandit would follow you."
"Which route?" Ivan asked expectantly.
"I must warn you it's quite dangerous, and your chances to survive are almost zero... You need to cross over the Blacktooth hill and go downhill towards the forest infested with wild wolves. As you go south, you may be lucky to find a village. From there on, you can go to the White Tiger City by following the path extending till the road which you were taking before."
"Do you have anything to eat?" Ivan asked.
"I... I have a loaf of bread on me." Jon extended his right hand inside his clothes, but Ivan stopped him.
"Don't move, I will take it myself," Ivan warned before taking out the piece of bread that could also be used as a brick.
It was fucking too hard.
"Don't you have anything chewable?" Ivan asked but got a no in reply.
"Will you... kill me?"
"It depends on you. Tell me something worthwhile, and I will only knock you out again." Ivan said as he bit onto the brick and swallowed it straight down his throat without bothering to chew it.
Jon tried to think hard. But there was noting expensive that could satisfy Ivan.
"Ah! Damn, I almost forgot... Mister, you had a token on yourself, which you needed to join the academy in the White Tiger City. Reco was greedy and wanted to see if he could sell it in the black market, but after asking, he found the academy already registered it. No one else can use it to enter the academy except the student that earned it. It should still be on him." Jon then told him about its shape when Ivan asked.
Ivan looked surprised, he did indeed find that token thing on Reco, but he thought it was nothing useful.
"Alright, anything else you know about me."
Jon didn't know if Ivan had lost his memories for real, or he was just testing him. Therefore he didn't dare to lie to him.
"... I don't know anything else about you... but you had come from the west. And belong to the frontier territory, which is all owned by Barons and Knights and also the pioneer Nobles. I don't specifically remember, but you should belong to a family of Knights that has a fiefdom of its own near Baron Russel territory. The chief knows about it... do you want me to ask them."
"No need. This much is enough. Congratulation, you earned your life." Ivan said after he swallowed all bread inside his stomach.

"Turn around and don't try anything funny" Ivan ordered the bandit to turn around with his hands above his head where he could see them.
Ivan hit the back of the bandit's head with the Knifes handle.
Jon fell on the ground with a thud.
Ivan checked to see if he knocked him out, or Jon was only acting.
After making sure that he won't be struck from behind when he turns around, Ivan again searched Reco's body and took out a token for his admission to whatever academy Jon was talking about. It might be useful in the future.
He also made sure to take any coins he could find on them. Ivan had the common sense to see that those round metals were, in fact, the money which was used in this world as a form of currency.
