On May 19, the weather was as usual, but Canther had not yet woken up. It's not that he's slacking off, it's because he ran for too long last night. His inn was not far from the center of Mochizuki City, and it opened its doors early, as the innkeeper had gone to watch the crashing carriage.

Now, there are only a few guests left in the hotel. In addition to Canther, there are also Glori, Mr. Mayne, and Pod. Due to the severity of Glori's injuries, Pod could only listen to Mr. Mayne's words, leaving Aina alone for the time being, and sending Glori here first.

Pod wanted to go out early in the morning to buy some fruit, and by the way, I wanted to ask for some news. Seeing people going to watch, she also cared about what was happening outside. Before going out, she must make a deal with the man in front of her who has succumbed to the darkness.

"Mr. Mayne, you should be optimistic about your apprentice, I suppose you must be a principled man since you are Glori's mentor, but you are hard to trust right now. If you dare to hurt him, then I'll make you untenable on the side of the Orderly, you understand the methods of the Remnant Moon Clan, right?" the Pod warned Mayne, but more like force.

"Of course, I won't hurt him. It's not time yet, and you can do what you want to do. Mr. Mayne said coldly.

However, the pods are not at ease. So, before heading out, she placed the Philosopher's Stone beside Glori. The Philosopher's Stone could tell her everything that was going on here.

Shortly after Pod went out, Glori was woken up by the sound of an orderly tax officer arguing outside. It so happened that Mr. Mayne was writing a letter to Al Cada at the table by the windowsill.

"Mr. Mayne, why are you here?"

Glori was surprised. Glori knew that the knight he respected should be by the side of the King of Order.

"You forgot about Camp Easter so quickly, you should follow the advice of the Remnant Moon Clan beside you and get some rest. I'll only rest here for a while, and I'll leave when I'm done with the letter. ”

It is already ironic that a god knight who betrayed the Terrans was with an apprentice who was loyal to his faith, and he was still chatting calmly. Even though Mr. Mayne could face Glori with his chest held out, and even not shy away from talking, he just wouldn't turn around.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.

After a pause, Glori glanced at the sword beside his pillow. He could have delivered Ritsu's fatal blow from behind, but instead placed his sword under his pillow. He remembered what Mayne had taught him that an upright person should respect his opponent and choose to go head-to-head with him rather than play sinister tricks like a clown.

It was these principles that led Mayne to write letters with his back to Glori without hesitation. He was relieved to know that the young man behind him was the proudest of the many children he taught. Even though Glori was a commoner, he was more committed to his beliefs and principles than some orthodox aristocrats.

Just then, Pod hurriedly pushed the door open. She was concerned about Mr. Mayne's intentions, and even more worried that Glori had not yet fulfilled her request.

"Glori, are you alright?" Pod picked up the wooden cup and drank the water in one gulp. Then, she put the magic stone away.

"We're fine, you don't have to worry. Glori replied.

"But, I'm sorry, I didn't hear from your friends. They may still be looking for you. Pod sat disappointedly near the ledge, looking at Glori.

"My buddies are probably still in Redcliff City, probably struggling to defend themselves against the Order. Because the news of the orderly people stationed in the Misty Swamp was spreading. Glori reflected on what he had seen and heard these days, and a smile flashed across his face.

"Perhaps. That night, I saw a few people in the hall outside the lord's hall, and the laughing guy still remembers it vividly, and I also remember the flaming sword on his back very well. I can see that it's a good friend of yours. Pod recalled.

"Hopefully they'll be well. It's been more than ten days since chasing your shadow out of Redleaf City, and it's time for me to join them. ”

So, what's next? Glori misses his friends, but he doesn't forget to think about the future. He was about to gather his thoughts when he was interrupted by Mr. Mayne.

"It's okay, I'm just making sure you're safe. Your conversation is of no use to me. I don't care about anything but reviving the Legion. Ritsu said lightly, still not looking back.

"What kind of letter is that?"

Pod wondered what the orderly puppet in front of him was writing. She crept up on Ril from behind. No stranger in Alex's kingdom has dared to approach Mr. Mayne from behind without being rude, because they all know that Mr. Mayne is a warrior alongside Kyle—and even if they don't wield their swords, they will still be in awe for their prestige. So, the pod has a lot of insight. Glori would feel uncomfortable about this, but neither would Mr. Mayne.

"An ordinary letter, addressed to Al Qaeda. Ritsu happily replied.

"Kazekage Demon Sword, you can't be planning anything, are you?" said Pod deliberately.

"Pod, that's your name, right? You should be like Glori, don't waste any more time. "That's what the law says.

Hearing what Mr. Mayne said, Glori felt like he knew something, but he wanted to leave everything that was happening that way. So, Glori didn't ask, and he really didn't sense any bad intentions on Mayne's part. Then he saw Pod exhale and walk out of the room with the fruit he had bought.

In order not to spoil the atmosphere, Glori tried to change the subject. Perhaps, there were other important things to learn from Mayne's mouth, he thought.

"Mr. Mayne, is Tutor Lil okay? Do you have any news of her? She took good care of us poor children during that time. I've always wanted to say thank you to her. ”

"Li'er, thank you, she must be living a safe life somewhere, and she doesn't need to worry at all. When Mr. Mayne heard Lil's name, he accidentally drew a horizontal line on the letter.

Lil is the love of Mr. Mayne's life. After all these years, he didn't even know anything about her, not even where she lived. His reply surprised Glori. All right...... Perhaps, my esteemed mentor has left his loved ones behind. However, I wish Mentor Lil the safety of all the time. Thinking of this, Glori breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does Mr. Mayne know about the Golden Covenant?" asked Glori, puzzled.

So Mr. Mayne signed the letter and turned around. "You should have planned a way to get Andrew out instead of asking me about it. I can tell you clearly that Andrew knows where the people who can read dragon language are, and I don't know anything else. ”

Just as Mayne was about to say goodbye to Glori, there was a commotion downstairs.

"Damn it, come out! The tax collector has arrived. But what about the boss?"

A knight named Morells snorted. He was of medium height, with a fairly well-proportioned build, no beard, and unkempt black hair. His father was Mr. Davis, a prestigious lord and a very nice man. However, few people have heard rumors about Mr. Davis recently, and people think that he was secretly disposed of by the Lord of Mochizuki Castle. Despite this rumor, Morrels still followed Moon with all his heart.

And what about the orderly tax collector standing next to Morells, who had a big belly and was as fat as a ball. On the right side of the tax collector's waist hung a large money bag, and on the other side was a polished dagger. And then he wore a very large medal around his neck, which he had bitten with his teeth, and was convinced that it was made of gold, and even used this Moon reward as a bragging note. Later, when people saw the medal, they would go into hiding, especially the merchants, and they all remembered the medallion, and as soon as it appeared, it represented the beginning of a new round of confiscation.

With a shake of the medallion's lanyard, the tax collector re-hung the dagger and let the diamonds on the counterweight sting the onlookers' eyes. At this time, Morells went into the kitchen and took a turn, pushed the pod to the ground, and then took a stick of hot bacon that had been boiled in the pot, shook it back and forth with his hands, and chewed it vigorously.

"Hey, Morels, where's the boss here?" shouted the tax officer angrily.

"My lord, the person you are looking for is my sister below. If anything, I'm happy to help. Pod got up on the table and walked out of the kitchen dressed as a sycophant, full of nonsense.

"You, what a beautiful woman......"

Only then did Morells see what the pod looked like, and looked at it over and over again. He was attracted by the appearance of the pod, and stayed in a daze until he fantasized about it. The tax collector was drooling, his eyes smiling and bent into a half-moon, and he couldn't wait to approach the pod.

"This month's taxes!!" said Pod, tossing the pouch of the contents to the tax collector.

The tax collector grabbed the bag and squeezed it gently, but the bag burst open. The white powder became slimy when it touched the air, and the thing swallowed the tax collector alive.

"What is this, get out of here!"

The tax collector shouted in panic and struggled. Only then did Morells, who was in a daze, notice what to do, which was to come forward and catch the people who were resisting the payment of taxes. To tease Morells, Pod stepped on the table to dodge. Enraged, Morrels draws his sword and sweeps the table, trying to get the pod to fall. And the pods jumped around, turning this tax collection into a joke to be watched.

At this moment, patrolling Lynn Van passed by with a group of soldiers. He had just learned that the lord of the city was investigating his cronies, so he had a bad temper. The people who were in the way were pushed away by him, and even the aristocratic children who were playing on the road did not benefit. However, no one dared to turn his back on him, because he was Moon's cousin. Moon had always been wary of him, so he gave him a job to wander around the streets of Mochizuki City all day until he caught no one daring to cause trouble.

"Look, who are they, a girl who looks like a rabbit on the table, a fat mound who is covered in paste, and another a noble knight who has not learned swordsmanship. Lynn sighed.

"Quick, get me out of this damn thing. "The tax collector ordered Lynn. He was suffocated and rolled on the ground.

"Stay in there, aren't you? You're not a good thing. Phew, deserved. But what's going on over there?" Lynn scolded the tax collector and shouted to the pod, "those who resist the payment of taxes will be sacrificed! I advise you to listen to the tax collector......?" He can't collect taxes now. Haha!"

After laughing for a while, Lynn still asked the soldiers around him to go up and help. He sat on a chair in the store, watched Morells and Pods running back and forth, and took a sip of ready-made wine.

"Don't look at her, sir!" Morells couldn't stand being looked at and looked at as a fool.

The soldiers looked at Lynn's eyes before they stepped forward to surround the pod. At this moment, steady footsteps came from the stairs. Mr. Mayne, draped in a black cloak and covered his face, stepped down.

"......Stop! Who is it?" Lynn stretched out her leg to block the staircase.

"You should do what you have to do, too!

Mr. Mayne said. He didn't even move, and Lynn was swept away by a gust of wind. As for the chair Lynn was sitting on, it was ripped to pieces, which scared the soldiers stupidly. After that, the four soldiers wanted to besiege Mayne, but they were shocked again.

"Light ......"

Mr. Mayne remained unmoved, only chanting briefly. When the sound of this bell poured into the ears of the people, a flash of golden light was seen. Then, Morells spun around in mid-air.

Lynn took advantage of the dazzling light to dissipate and slashed at Mr. Mayne from the side. At the same time, Glori jumped off the handrail of the stairs.

"Phew. ”

Just like that, Lynn's sword was blocked by Glori with his gauntlet. It was a blow that Glorry had to dodge, for for for a short time, Mr. Mayne was still the man he knew—a mentor who showed no mercy to the darkness.

As it happened, the breeze blew Mr. Mayne's mantle, and Lynn saw the sword carved with dragon patterns. In an instant, Lynn was terrified, sat down on the ground directly against the wall, and watched Mayne walk in front of her.

"You don't have to torture yourself anymore, this meeting was a coincidence. I'm just here to repay a favor from Kaida, and he wants you to live. There were not only Gudo's legions, but also Thorne's swordsmen, and Thorne was no longer Aeda's men. That's right, it was Kaida who made me run like that. Ritsu said calmly.

"Thank you for succumbing to the Order Clan to save my life, and thank you for making me who I am now. But, Mr. Mayne, if you don't do it now, we're going to have to fight each other. Even if I can't defeat you, I'll save you from the Order!" Glori's tone was heavy.

"Oh, stop talking stupid, take care of yourself and live well. Some people are no longer saved, and there is no need to waste energy. Ritsu stepped over the threshold without looking back and disappeared into the crowd of onlookers.

At this moment, Kanser woke up. He happened to hear the last sentence. "No help? No, I need to write a letter to Master Corryz and have it delivered by the messenger. Back to church, I need time. ”
