Although Mayor Webb promised Andy that he would be able to enjoy a sumptuous dinner in half an hour, this was obviously unrealistic, so it was not until more than an hour later that Pedi and the others had their late dinner...

Well, rich dinner.

The main dish is wheat porridge and fried beef, and the side dish is a large fruit platter.

For this town, this kind of food is definitely very rich, especially the plate of fruit, you know, the Twak Heights do not produce fruit at all.

Of course, this fruit was limited to the two Peidi brothers.

"Simon..."

In the middle of the meal, a woman's heart-rending howl suddenly sounded outside the hotel, and the voice was full of sadness and disbelief.

When Pei Di heard this, he frowned, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his face was stunned, and then he put down his knife and fork, picked up the wine glass next to him, and took a few sips.

"I'll take a look, sir. Hu stood up from his seat at another table and pressed his hand against Eden, who was about to stand up together.

Pedi lowered his head and looked at the cloudy ale in the wine glass, nodded faintly and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Poor woman," Cowlier muttered quietly, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped the grease from his mouth with his sleeve, and followed Wren out.

When the footsteps sounded, Pedi raised his head, and he looked at the back of the two of them... When the two of them disappeared from the door of the hall, he drank the ale from his glass in one gulp.

"You're too easily emotional, Pedy!" Andy said abruptly.

"Every intelligent creature has its own emotions. Pedi put down his glass and said lightly.

"Oh, really?" said Andy, shrugging his shoulders and picking up the plum from the fruit bowl with his fork and putting it in his mouth, then closing his eyes and savoring the smell of the plum, apparently not going to talk any further.

...

There was no such commotion outside the hotel as expected, perhaps to the credit of Wren and Cowlier, or perhaps the woman got some hints.

A few minutes later, when everyone was almost forgetting the woman's voice, Cowlier and Wren returned to the hall...

The two brought in a person, a woman in a long gray dress, and behind the woman was a little boy about four or five years old.

"Wren, what's going on?" Andy said first, his brow furrowed slightly, a little dissatisfied with Wren's approach, but he didn't blame too much because of Pedy's side.

Pei Di also put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at his servant suspiciously.

Wren was visibly nervous, and he was about to say something, but the figure of another person blocked his view with Pedi...

"Your Excellency, this Mrs. Rey's husband, Mr. Simon, the guide we hired more than an hour ago, was killed while serving you. That is, Mr. Simon died in the service of you, and according to imperial law, his wife and son have the right to demand that you do something that matches his pay. ”

The magician smiled respectfully, explaining in a brisk tone, he spoke quickly, and with his words, everyone in the room subconsciously looked at him, and when he fully explained, even Andy, who had not wanted to pay attention to this matter, showed a serious expression.

"Of course, you also have the right to refuse, after all, you paid for it in the first place. Cowlier shrugged.

"The Barrett family will compensate you, ma'am, the goddess can testify!" were Andy's words, and he responded before Pedy, and his tone revealed absolute confidence.

Pedi gave him a surprise look at his cousin, then looked at Cowlier, and finally, his gaze turned to the woman, "Lady Rey?

"Yes, that's what the neighbors call her, and they can testify for her!" Cowlier replied preemptively.

"Then, madam, you may make your request, and I swear, you will be rewarded as you deserve. Pedi is also committed.

Andy stood up at this time, he walked up to the woman, blocked the sight of the woman and Pedy, and said in an affirmative tone: "You will get a farm in Twak, and your son can go to Twak City after the age of twelve to train as a knight, this is the promise made by the Barrett family." ”

The woman couldn't help but look up at Andy, she was a little surprised by such a reward, she had thought that these nobles would promise a few gold coins at most...

"You should thank Sir Andy for his generosity, ma'am. The smile on Cowlier's face was even more pronounced.

"Sense... Thank you, my lord!" Mrs. Rye bowed to Andy as she pressed her son's neck.

Pei Di reacted at this time, he smiled faintly, took a serious look at Collier, and then, he looked at his cousin again, looking at the other side that the other party had not shown in the imperial capital for nine years.

...

Dinner time in Sharp Town is very lively, and the townspeople have a busy day for leisure and fun. However, after dinner, the town of Sharp was so quiet that the town seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

The murder didn't have much of an impact on the townspeople of Sharptown, and the most they complained about the closure of the inn or sighed after the meal.

Pedi lay on a wooden bed in a separate room in the hotel, frowning at the musty smell of wheat straw on the bed, but it was much better than sleeping in the wild, and there were brand new sheets from the town government.

Comfortable environments are always easy to relax, but Pedi can't sleep, he raised his right hand, and gestured to the shadow of the candle flame, his calm gaze kept staring at the dark shadow on the wall that followed the gesture.

"You're so laid-back, Sir Pedy!"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out from the corner of the room...

"Who!" Pedi was startled, her body bounced off the bed and fell to the ground, her eyes looking in the direction from which the voice came from.

"Don't worry, Sir Pedy, if an assassin wants to work against you, he won't show up...", a thin black figure stepped out of the corner, "Although you are a powerful paladin, it is clear that you lack experience, and this continent is more dangerous than you think. ”

"Who are you, what do you want to do!" Pei Di's face sank, and the holy power around him began to condense, and the silver-white two-handed war hammer placed next to the bed was already in his hand, "You'd better answer my question, while I'm still patient." ”

"Sir Pedy, believe me, I am not your enemy, at least not yet. The dark shadow revealed his entire body, he was dressed in a jet-black tight-fitting leather suit, and he was already seated in the only chair in the room as he spoke.

"Bang Bang"

He tossed a dagger in his hand into the corner of the room, then raised his hand to signal that he had no more weapons.

But Pedi didn't let his guard down, he looked the other man up and down for a few seconds, then stepped back to the edge of the bed and sat down and asked repeatedly, "Tell me your purpose, stranger." ”

"My name is Kebot...," Kebot pulled off his mask, "a member of the King's Advisory Council of the Kingdom of Baru... Well, the kingdom of Balu is what you call a barbarian tribe in the wild mountains. ”
