When I came out of the "Eagle Falcon" office, it was almost midnight. Outside the gates of the Ted Academy, the western side was quiet compared to the bustle of the eastern part of the city of Salyuchne, with few cars and horses, and only the city guards patrolling the streets. For example, Elwin, these "second ancestors", most of the city defense guards are acquainted, and naturally no one will come up to find it boring.

Alwyn yawned, and made a few turns down York Street in the West End before returning to the Earl's Court, and the guards at the door were surprised to see Alwyn come back at this point.

The Earl has little discipline for his son since he was a child, and Elwin's mother died early, and Alwin's childhood was mixed with the children of the lords, such as Laiwu, Kaiba, and Chenzhu. Fortunately, these friends who have played since childhood are just greedy for money and lustful. When Alwin grew up, the Earl turned a blind eye to this only son who liked to soak in various mansions in the East End, and there seemed to be no major problem except that his body was a little weaker. After all, that's how the Earl came when he was young.

Alvin went back to his room, and his head was filled with the "falcon" all night, and he was very groggy, and after freshening up, he fell asleep.

There was no class on the morning of the second day, and Alvin slept until noon before getting up, sleeping too much and still groggy with his head. He began to think about how to talk to his father, but the pocket money of this month had been dashing in the "Xun Mansion", and this staff had to be bought, and he didn't know how to open it after thinking about it.

He knew that the old man rarely went out, so he walked to the study while thinking about it.

Count Philip was sitting at his large and luxurious desk, flipping through a map of the territory of the Jafe Empire, when he saw Alwyn come in and looked up at him, and then buried his head again.

"Father, Professor Fetimo told me a few days ago that he wanted me to participate in this year's Pillow Sword Meeting. Alvin said solemnly.

"Well, good thing. Prepare well and don't embarrass the professor. Count Philip said and looked up at Alwyn again, as if he was not surprised.

Alvin thought to himself that his father saw it in his eyes when he was a child, and he wondered in his heart, "Why is it expected to look at his expression as if he participated in the Pillow Sword Club?"

"But ... Father, I have ... I've got to buy a staff to get my hands on," Alwyn began to get to business.

"Well, didn't you receive three hundred lunes at the beginning of the month?" asked the Earl, frowning.

"Yes, but, uh... Alvin bowed his head and hesitated.

"You've run out of money again?" the Count's voice widened.

Alvin let out an almost inaudible "um" in a voice so low that it was barely audible.

"Bastard. The Count slapped the book on the table, "Do you know how many farmhouses you can buy for three hundred loons outside the city?

Every time he was scolded by the Earl, Alwyn's concept of conversion to Looney was that he could exchange them for a few farmhouses outside the city of Salyuch.

"I'm still in charge now, and if I were to be in charge, would I still have it?, would the land outside our city be enough for you?" the Count scolded with a scowl in his face.

Alvin lowered his head with red ears and red ears, a look of shame, this kind of performance has been perfected.

"Father, I can't help it, I don't want to go, the professor's name is not easy to refuse, right?" Alvin whispered.

"Did I tell you this? Why did I scold you, don't you understand?" the Count then scolded, "You are like this, I have to go to Fuz Province to dig for gold to feed you, huh?"

Alwyn lowered his head.

Count Philip scolded for a while, drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and looked at the son in front of him who had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and the anger in his heart gradually disappeared.

"Professor Fei has always been very accurate in looking at people, don't teach others to be cold. The Earl's tone softened, and he sighed, "That's it, you can go to the account office and get two hundred lunes, which is enough for you to buy a staff, right?"

"Enough, enough. Alvin nodded with a smile.

The Count beckoned without looking up, stopped looking at Alwin, sat down and began to study the atlas.

With a look of shame on his face, Alvin stepped out of the study.

After withdrawing the money from the bookkeeper, Alvin took his sheepskin bag and went out to the academy with brisk steps, and unlike usual, he put on all the jewelry he had taken from Fetimena.

There was no class with the students of the Martial Arts Academy in the afternoon, and there was no class of "Eagle Falcon", so that Alvin had no one to chat and tease, and no one forced him to listen attentively, and Alvin was not interested in the magic potion class all afternoon.

It was easy to hold out until school in the evening, and he picked up his satchel and went to the gate of the martial arts academy to block those fox friends and dogs.

Chenzhu, Laiwu, and Kaiba all looked loveless after a day of class, and they all walked lazily outside the courtyard with their hands behind their heads. But when he saw Alvin guarding the door, he couldn't help but laugh evilly.

"What do you say, brother?" Chen Zhu said with a smile, "Take a walk to the Xun Mansion tonight?"

"Okay, is your body so strong now?" Lai Wu smiled and looked Alvin up and down.

"a fart, it's shy to want to go. Alvin scolded with a laugh.

"Don't talk about it, who isn't. Lai Wu grinned, "I originally wanted to say that it was okay to ask my brothers to accompany me, but you have to get the money." ”

"You two dukes' and one marquis's are embarrassed to cry poor with me?"

"There are so many brothers in the family... Lai Wu's face was sad.

"Well, where are you going tonight?" asked Keba.

"I'm going to go to the Lu Zheng Equipment Store tonight, which of you will accompany me on a trip? Hey, for that pillow sword club, Lao Fei gave me a night of equipment knowledge class last night. Alvin sighed.

"Don't talk about it, as long as you and Laiwu can go to the Pillow Sword Club, Kaiba and I can only watch. Chen Zhu looked unhappy and squinted at Lai Wu, "By the way, Lai Wu, did you stuff money into the old man with the iron key, otherwise why would he recommend you to go? Or is it your old man who put pressure?"

"Your old man is also a duke, you let him try?" Lai Wu said angrily, ", this academy, if you can become a professor, will you be interested in money, or will you care what your family background is?"

Chen Zhu thought about it, being able to become a professor in a college like Tide, in addition to the ordinary salary, the country's Ministry of Finance also has additional subsidies, and the income can be said to be very rich. Moreover, most of the professors are at the level of samurai or archmage in front of the palace, and their weight in the heart of His Majesty is not lower than that of the nobles with hereditary titles, so no matter which institution of higher learning they are in, they are respected by the students when they reach the professor level.

"Lu Zheng, is it the one on Haven Street in the East Side of the Inner City?" Kayba glanced at Alvin.

"yes. Wow, you know, I didn't even know there was such an equipment shop on Haven Street. Alvin was surprised.

"How do you know? You even want us to take you to the mansion, haha. Keba scoffed. Chen Zhu and Lai Wu also laughed at Alvin when they heard this.

"Speaking of Haven Street, I remember there was a tavern called Bauhinia Court, which was quite atmospheric and had good Zam whiskey. Lai Wu turned out the shop in his mind, and then said, "Although it is not as good as Joven's red wine, but the rough and refreshing taste, wow, I really don't say it." Hey, Chenzhu, I remember going with you?"

"I think of it when you say that, yes, the whiskey in that shop is really good. Chen Zhu also remembered, he turned his head to Kaiba and smiled, "That's it, you accompany Alvin to that equipment store, and then find us at that bar after you buy it." ”

"Yes, yes. Lai Wu said with a smile.

"Why me?" said Keba angrily at Chenzhu, "Why did you go drink first?"

"What do you mean, are you so unhappy to buy me some equipment?" Alvin scolded.

"No way, you first say that you know the way. Chen Zhu said with a smile.

"Fart, I didn't say I knew. Keba was indignant.

"No, are you going to die if you buy me a piece of equipment?" Alwyn then scolded.

"Yes, brother for so many years, will you die if you buy a few pieces of equipment with him?" Chen Zhu also blamed.

Kaiba somehow retorted, and Laiwu snickered on the side.

"No, didn't you just say you don't have any money, and you still buy a piece of equipment?" Kaiba glared at Alvin angrily.

"Don't talk about it, I was scolded again this morning, you know, it's a matter of a few farmhouses outside the city. Alvin smiled wryly.

Kaiba also laughed angrily when he heard this, for so many years, several of them clearly knew the mantra of the old man of the Elwyn family when he reprimanded.

So the corrupt "four young people" got into the luxury carriage of the Laiwu family together and drove to Haiwen Street in the eastern district of the inner city.

Coming to the door of the "Bauhinia Pavilion" tavern, Alvin took a closer look, and it was indeed as Lai Wu said, quite emotional. The whole façade is made of maple wood, and then matched with wisteria of different thicknesses, which does not look messy in the rough, no wonder it is called the name "Bauhinia Pavilion". Sitting under the specially built wide wooden eaves, drinkers can take advantage of the evening breeze to drink wine and look at the street scene, and the private seats in the middle are separated by screens, one inside and one outside.

Lai Wu and Chen Zhu went in triumphantly, and the old man Keba had to lead Alvin to the end of the street.

When he came to the door of the "Lu Zheng" equipment store, Alvin took a look at the window with a sense of age, obviously it was not the current fashionable decoration, but it was clean and exquisite, and it looked like it should be an old store that had been open for decades. But the paint is just being refurbished, and it seems that the owner of the shop is also a particular person.

The two pushed the door in, and an old man who looked like a steward came down from the counter and greeted him, looking much older than Professor Fei.

Alvin looked at the store, a little cramped, but it looked good, and most of the display cases on both sides were rings and jewelry engraved with runes, as well as some armor and armor, and all kinds of large and small scrolls. On the back of the counter is a wall of various books, some of which look quite old. There should have been some stuff behind the counter, but it was blocked by a bookcase, and only one person was left in the aisle.

"Your Highnesses, what are you going to buy?" The old man looked at the two young men's dresses, and knew that their net worth should be good.

"Oh, old sir, that's right, I'm going to choose a staff to use at the Pillow Sword Meeting. It was Professor Fetimofe who recommended me here," Alwyn replied with a smile.

"Oh, that old boy from Fetimo, I haven't seen him in years" The old man looked at Alvin a few times, and then said with a smile, "The pillow sword will be good, the little guy can be recommended by Fetimor at a young age, and his skills must be extraordinary." ”

"Hey, I'm afraid I'm going to lose the professor's person this time," Alvin looked ashamed.

"Hey, Fei Timo's eyes are poisonous, I haven't seen him miss anyone, young man doesn't have to be presumptuous," the old man comforted.

"I hope so, I hope so," Alvin said with a wry smile.

"What about this Highness, what do you want to see? Are you also going to the Pillow Sword Society?" the old man asked Keba politely.

Kaiba hurriedly waved his hand, "Old man, in fact, I came with him, I'll just wander around, you can choose a wand with him." ”

"Okay, little one, come with me," the old man beckoned, leading Alvin inside.

It turns out that coming in from the aisle is indeed a cave. The old man snapped his fingers, and the gas lights on the counters on both sides lit up. On one side were dozens of wands, large and small, and on the other side were the weapons of martial artists, familiar as fists, swords, and some weapons that Alwin had never seen before.

When Alwyn saw these dozens of staffs, large and small, his head suddenly grew bigger, he wouldn't want him to try them one by one, right?

The old man naturally understood Alwin's expression, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little guy, the old man will help you take a look, I will definitely not delay you for too long." ”

Alvin breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, little one, the two rings on your hand, and the chain on your body, were given to you by the old boy Fetimo?" the old man squinted and smiled.

"Wow, old man, your eyes are poisonous," Alwyn exclaimed, looking down at his two rings.

The old gentleman shook his head and sighed, "Where and where, the old eyes are dizzy." I saw it when I got closer. These jewels were bought from me by Fetimer back then, and now that I see them again, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic. ”

"Did Professor Fei buy all from here?" Alwyn asked.

The old man nodded, "Decades ago, he only became a lecturer for a long time, and he hasn't become a professor yet." ”

"These jewels are good, little one, it seems that Fetimor likes you very much," the old man said with a smile, and began to color the staff of the El artifact.

Alvin didn't know how to answer, and he sighed.

"I guess you should use instantaneous magic for the most part, then... It's a cane," the old man muttered quietly, not knowing if he was speaking to Alwyn or to himself.

The old man picked among the short wands for a moment, then pulled out one and handed it to Alwin, "Here, you try this." ”

Alvin took it in his hand and looked at it, and the top of the staff was inlaid with a bright purple gem, and he didn't know what material it was.

Alvin picked up his staff, and a mid-level fireball spell gathered at the top of the staff, and to Alwin's surprise, the fireball actually turned purple, and it gathered so quickly that Alvin didn't expect it.

"Why doesn't this flame look like it's fire?" said Alwin, interrupting the magic in his hand.

"This staff can make all matter aggregation and matter transformation appear as dark attributes, and the speed of matter aggregation and transformation is twice as fast as that of ordinary staffs," the old man said with a smug expression.

Alvin nodded.

"Although the dark attribute is usually rare, as long as you fight a few more battles in the pillow sword meeting, it is inevitable that people will be on guard" Alvin means that if the opponent's armor is all covered with anti-dark gems, then he is not finished?

"That's the truth, but this kind of dark attribute purple cut stone is not something that can be bought at will, and Fuz's vein only produces a few kilograms a year. The old man raised his eyes and reminded.

"Well, pick another one for me and try it" Alwyn was always a little uneasy about all magic being dark. He thought to himself that if he could buy it, others should be able to buy it, after all, the city was much more wealthy than him.

"Okay, then I'll choose another one for you. The old man also saw that Alvin was worried, so he picked it again.

Later, I picked a few more, all of which were staffs that enhanced a single attribute, which were about the same as the last time Fei Timo asked him to try, except that these in the store were more rapid for the transformation of matter, and the casting of spells was much smoother.

"Choosing and choosing, it's still not as amazing as this staff. Alwyn picked up the dark staff and felt it in his hand again.

"Yes, little one, I can't listen to my old man's fault, the first feeling is often the most suitable. The old man smiled and comforted.

Alvin nodded, and instead asked, "How much does this wand cost?"

"One hundred and fifty Looney. The old man smiled politely.

Alvin gasped and looked at the old man in surprise.

Every fine line on the old man's smiling face is tattooed as it should be, and it seems that it will not be cheap at all.

Alvin also smiled politely, "It's not expensive, it's really not expensive", he had already cut Fetimo alive dozens of times in his heart, and secretly said that he would save character for the Pillow Sword Society.

Alwin still settled the account with the old man very graciously, and Kaiba, who was bored outside, looked at Lunney that Alwin took out, and couldn't help but ask Alwin if he had bought a cart of equipment.

After Alwyn told him to buy a staff, Keba smiled politely.

"Do you want to see anything else, Your Highness?" the old man didn't seem to see the strange expressions of Alvin and Keba from beginning to end, and greeted him warmly.

"No, no," Alvin said in unison, and with a gesture of farewell, he walked out of the store.

"Okay, the two highnesses go slowly, remember to come again next time if you need to" The old man smiled and sent the two to the door, and did not forget to bow slightly.

"It's dark, isn't it?" said Keba as he came out of the shop, picking up the staff in Elwin's hand and playing with it over and over again, "This thing costs a hundred and fifty Looneys? Do you know how many farms you can buy outside of the city?"

Alvin didn't speak.

"I said that this store looks like it looked like decades ago, how did it survive these decades, it turned out that the professors recommended students like you to come and consume, haha" Keba looked at Alvin and laughed.

Erwin remained silent, he looked at the only fifty looneys left in his pocket, and felt the bleak cold outside of the late autumn style, and couldn't help but shiver.

All the way from the equipment shop to the Bauhinia Pavilion, Elwin's face was like a stuffed ball, and he was mercilessly ridiculed by Kaiba all the way.
