Volume 2: Academy Chapter 0175: Strange Encounters

The two talked eagerly for a long time, and Count Al Owen suddenly changed the topic and said, "I heard that you are here as the trial leader of the Academy of Constantinople this time?"

Alice nodded undeniably: "That's right, the academy arranged this task, and I came over." ”

Count Al Owen showed an unusual smile: "Although I haven't seen you for ten years, I still know you very well, and the reason why you came here is definitely not so simple. ”

The Earl took a sip of tea, and the fire of gossip in his heart was burning: "Let me guess what forced Her Royal Highness Alice to run from the prosperous imperial capital to my remote village." ”

Alice spread her hands helplessly: "It's really just to complete the academy task." ”

Count Al Owen ignored it, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Did someone arrange a marriage for you?"

Alice: "......"

Seeing her expression, Earl Iowen immediately laughed: "It seems that I guessed correctly, do you need my help, or how long are you going to stay here?"

Compared with friendship, this earl is obviously more concerned about whether the other party will bring him any trouble.

Alice sighed deeply, and quickly dispelled the other party's concerns: "Thank you for your kindness, my dear uncle. ”

She bit the word uncle very hard, and then continued: "Don't worry, I won't stay here for long, because I still have to take the students to the Warcraft Forest for trials. ”

"Oh, that's a pity, I wanted to show you around Moonlight Town. Earl Al Owen feigned disappointment.

Alice pursed her lips when she saw this, and then got up and said goodbye: "I still have a lot of troubles to deal with, so I won't bother much, besides, after I leave, I don't know what will happen to those students outside." ”

Count Al Owen got up and said a few words, and finally personally escorted him out of the gate of the town hall, and at the same time arranged for the guide very intimately.

The guide, a staff member of the town hall who grew up in Moonlight Town, was extremely familiar with the situation here, and Alice said that she was looking for a hotel, preferably able to accommodate more than 200 people at the same time.

The guide was visibly stunned for a moment, and then explained with a wry smile: "There are no such big inns here, but there are a few hotels that are very close, what do you think?"

Alice shrugged: "That's it." ”

With her approval, the guide led the trial party north of the town.

Moonlight Town covers an area of twenty square kilometers and is home to nearly 30,000 people, plus foreign merchants and mercenaries, resulting in a staggering 40,000 people in the town.

The town was built two hundred years ago, it is both old and dilapidated, and the interior is dominated by bungalows, which means that crowding is inevitable.

At the beginning of the design, the designers did not calculate such a large carrying capacity, and now, all kinds of disadvantages have appeared.

Drains and culverts are often blocked, garbage has nowhere to be stored, the per capita living area is small, and illegal construction is rampant.

That said, there's really no scenery to speak of.

Of course, each place will have its own characteristics to a greater or lesser extent, and the characteristic of Moonlight Town is that there are a large number of apple trees planted on both sides of the road and outside the town, which not only beautifies the environment, but also makes a name for itself for producing excellent tasting cider.

Most of the travelers who pass through the town are willing to stay here to enjoy a drink while paying to listen to the bards tell all sorts of stories and quirky secrets, so the cosy town has a little more bustle and hustle and bustle.

When everyone arrived at the hotel, it was already dark, and after several days of exhaustion, the students hardly had to worry about the instructor, and directly assigned their own rooms.

Where had the innkeepers seen such a big battle, and they were all in front and back.

The guide gathered them together and admonished: "These are the noble young masters and young ladies from the imperial capital, and they are also the distinguished guests of the earl, remember to entertain them well." ”

When the innkeepers heard this, they immediately nodded yes with trepidation, and then led the students into the room as if they were serving their ancestors.

Worried about the safety of the students, and also worried about the trouble, Alice divided the instructors into four groups, each staying in a hotel, and was responsible for protecting and monitoring the students.

Renard and the others lived with Alice in the largest and most crowded hotel, and the rooms were distributed in various key locations to ensure that the students' every move was under control.

After arranging the people, the innkeeper called in the servants who took care of the stables, some to take care of the horses, and some to help carry the luggage.

After the men and horses were settled, the innkeeper and his men were tired enough, but they still had to drag their tired bodies, smiling and asking if they had any other needs.

Occasionally, if you ask what kind of service you have, you have to answer respectfully: "We are always serving food and drinks here, if you have any other needs, you can also come to me, if you have special needs, please move to the east street." ”

At this time, the students often say righteously, "What do you say, why don't I understand?"

The corner of the innkeeper's eyes twitched, and in the end he could only laugh and say: "If you want to visit the night view of Moonlight Town, we can also arrange someone to be a guide without any charge, of course, if you pay a tip, they will not refuse." ”

Hearing this, Renard took out his wallet and threw a few silver coins over: "I'll call you if there's anything, remember to help me keep an eye on these little guys, no one can run out." ”

The innkeeper quickly caught the silver coin and said with a smile: "Don't worry, in order to ensure the safety of all young masters and young ladies, even the dog hole in the backyard is blocked now, and I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on them." ”

His words relieved Alice and the other instructors, while the students were sad and unhappy.

By the time everyone had settled in, it was already completely dark outside, and Alice stretched out tiredly, ready to go back to her bedroom to rest.

However, as she walked up the stairs, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from the corridor on the second floor: "Tutor Alice, why are you here too?"

The voice seemed extremely contrived, but also extremely familiar.

Renard looked up, and a look of disgust suddenly appeared on his face, it was actually Duke.

He was also a little surprised that the other party would be here.

This year, there are a total of 10 teams that go out for the trial, led by different teachers, and according to tradition, the team leader himself decides the method and place of the trial, and of course, the corresponding risks and consequences are also borne by the team leader.

That is to say, the trial locations of the ten teams are all arbitrarily decided, and the possibility of meeting each other is almost zero.

Renard rubbed his chin in thought with a strange expression, and after a long time, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on his face.
