The conditions of the hotel are not good, after all, it only costs forty copper coins per day, which is cheap enough, so you can't ask for too much. The three of them took a shower and changed their clothes, and went out to find a place to eat, and the time had come to two o'clock in the afternoon.

In this season, the hot afternoon is the most annoying to the mercenaries, the heat makes people irritable, and the heavy armor will make people sweat. At this time, the mercenaries who are still in the city either go home or spend time in the tavern - the mercenary tavern has a simple thermostatic magic array, and the indoor temperature is constant at all times. At this point in time, there are basically no mercenaries running around on the road, and there are not many ordinary pedestrians on the street.

"It's hotter in the summer in Kasbah than here, so I don't like to go out in the summer. Del Cora built a constant chamber with his bare hands to withstand the scorching heat, "Even if I can use magic to cool down, I don't want to torture myself." ”

"It's obviously lazy, don't make excuses for yourself. Satya's fangs were also put away, and like Assas, she also had an ordinary weapon on her waist that she had bought before, "Mental power is not for you to waste so much, you should learn to adapt to the harsh environment." ”

"A magician who enjoys life is a good magician!" you must remember the famous saying of Ansel Reeves," Delcora argued, "and it is precisely because of the magicians' pursuit of quality of life that magic has not been reduced to the skill of mere combat—like this thermostatic magic, which was originally only for the personal enjoyment of magicians, but greatly reduced the difficulty of preserving meat, and brought about a revolution in farming." Can you say it's a waste of mental energy?"

"You always have your own reasoning, but your reasoning is only to cover up your selfishness. Satya went toe-to-toe with him, "It's like you're always skipping agility sessions on hot and cold days." Even if you list the quotes of many masters, it doesn't change the fact that you are lazy. ”

"Yes, I'm with Satya on this point," Asas said, "You can always find all sorts of reasons to be lazy." ”

“...... Okay okay, I'll admit that I don't like sports. Delkora shrugged, "But you're enjoying the convenience of thermostat magic - even then, are you going to deny it?"

"Don't change the concept, Del Kora, it's not the magic itself that we're denying, it's you who use magic to be lazy," Assas immediately saw through Del Kora's words.

"But do you remember the basis of the Constitution of the Empire? "Laziness is an absolutely subjective thought, and moral flaws do not apply the law to the law." You can do as much as you like in the court of ideas, but you will never be able to convict me - the debate is over, young man. ”

He smiled confidently.

"I don't think laziness goes against the rules of reality," Assas smiled, "but you're in the middle of a moral court - follow your heart, Satya, and vote on who will pay for tonight's dinner." ”

"Del Kora!" Satya raised her hand cooperatively.

"Okay, I'll vote for Del Cola too. Two-thirds agreed, and the bill was compulsorily passed. Assas looked at the stunned Del Cola and said slowly, "When neither morality nor law can be decided, the opinion of the majority is the best complement to the rules – so, the debate is finally over." Del Cola, dinner please. ”

This is also the daily routine of the trio.

Apparently they are only discussing the most everyday issues, but the topic always unconsciously extends to a deeper realm, which usually occurs between a group of well-read and familiar university scholars, and it seems a little funny when it appears to three fourteen-year-olds - fortunately, there are so few people on the road that no one notices this scene at all.

I can't say how advanced their discussion is, but the amount of knowledge they have is really not something that a normal fourteen-year-old should have. Moreover, it is indeed unlikely that a fourteen-year-old will use a two-thirds majority to decide the outcome of dinner.

It was only after walking a street that Del Cola asked a passer-by about the location of the mayor's house and the mayor's office. At the same time, it was learned from passers-by that if there was no emergency, the mayor would usually go home from work at five o'clock in the evening. You can't go to the mayor's office, it's a government department, and it's impossible for the guards to let three unidentified foreign mercenaries in. So the three of them chose to turn a corner and go to the mayor's house.

Coming directly from the town's gates, the street with the Mercenary Tavern and Inn is the main street of the town, and the mayor's house is located at the end of the other street. It was a very regular two-story building, fenced by railings, with a small garden with all kinds of flowers and plants, and a dog in the yard. The house should have been painted not so long ago and looks clean and bright from the outside, but the occasional rust on the railings still reveals the passage of time that the building has experienced. The three stopped outside the gate, and the big dog that was languishing at the door stood up and barked at them.

This dog can be used as a doorbell. Del Cora thought narrowly.

With the dog barking, the door of the building opened, and an elderly man who looked like a housekeeper stepped out.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" After seeing the trio, the old butler did not open the door directly, but asked through the door.

"We're new mercenaries, and we've taken the commissions from the mayor," Assas stepped forward, handing over the tavernkeeper's hand-copied credentials.

"It's his handwriting, huh...... There is also a tavern certificate. The old butler looked all the way, but when he saw the end, he paused, "Foreign mercenaries, are you from Yadu?"

"Yes," Assas nodded, "our mercenary status was applied for in Sauvis City. ”

"O Sauvis City...... It's a name for a long time. The old butler sighed, "Foreign mercenaries can also be used, and Mr. Mayor doesn't care about this." It's just that you look very young. Do you really have the strength of a Black Iron Professional?"

"I am a quasi-knight, sir. Assas once again blessed himself with "Guardian" and proved his strength at the Black Iron level, "I have received a complete education and am proficient in the defensive skills that I should master at my level. ”

"Yes, yes, fourteen-year-old Black Iron class, a valued genius everywhere. The butler nodded, handed back the commission, and opened the door, "Come in, boys, Mayor Chris won't be back until five o'clock, and you can rest here for a while." ”

"Has Mr. Mayor always been a local?" Del Cora asked curiously, following the butler into the courtyard.

"No, Mr. Chris is a member of the Racial Federation and only moved here ten years ago. "But he manages Logs very well." The inhabitants have a lot of respect for him. ”

"So Mr. Mayor is an elf?" said Del Kora, "and you're a native of Logs?"

"I, like you, I'm from Adu, and I worked as a mercenary in Sauvis for a while, and then I came here," the old butler smiled, and was not angry at Del Kora's inquiring inquiry, and explained like an old grandfather, "Mr. Chris hired me to take care of his yard. Oh, that's Todge, the dog that Mr. Chris picked up. ”

Seeing that the old butler had brought in three strangers, Todge, the big dog, stopped barking and wagged his tail happily at a few people.

"I'll make tea for you. Wait, young people. A few people entered the room, the old butler went to the back to make tea, and the three of them sat in the reception room and waited. The decoration in the room is not flashy, but a variety of potted plants and plants can be found everywhere, which decorates the house with a green color.

The elves are not inseparable from the forest, but the love of greenery is something in their veins, and where the elves live, these pointed ears always create as much green as possible, and their skill and aesthetic beauty will make it all seem harmonious, becoming a model of harmony between life and nature.

When the old butler returned, he began to ask the trio about Yadu and Sovis. As soon as he spoke, he realized that the old butler had settled here for more than forty years, and this place had almost become his second home. He entertained the trio, in fact, to ask something about Yadu and the city of Sauvis - the old butler had been in Sauvis for two years and still had a deep impression of it.

So Assas began to tell the old butler about the changes in Yadu over the years, and to tell him some of the news he had heard in Sovis, and Del Cora and Satya added on the side, and before he knew it, three hours had passed.

As the sun began to set in the west, the mayor finally finished his day's work. The trio who had been waiting here for a long time finally met the mayor.

"Mr. Chris, welcome back. The commission you issued has been accepted, and this is the mercenary who took over the task. ”

"Hello, Mr. Chris, it's a pleasure to meet you. Assas saluted Mayor Chris, "My name is Assas, and I'm a mercenary new to this town. ”

"Ah, it's actually you," Hearing his self-introduction, Elf Mayor Chris had a somewhat surprised expression, "On the way home, I heard a few mercenaries talk about you, fourteen-year-old Black Iron Level, a genius honor student appeared in our town - sit down and say, since you have accepted my commission, some explanations are still indispensable." ”
