Chapter 125: Ordinary Night, Extraordinary Things
Newcastle City is brightly lit at night, as an important supply city on the Jörmungard promenade, although it is already night, but the streets are still full of people, people are busy during the day, and the night is the time for people to release the stress of the day, and the bar has become the only place where people can vent.

Similarly, after a day's journey, Kratzer and his party sat in the hotel lounge after dinner and talked about what had happened in the past few days, because this mission was really a kind of ups and downs for most of them, and the only people who rested in the hall after a full meal were Kreizer, Team Leader Jersey, and Captain Lyon.
On the second floor of the hotel, in a certain room, the Jersey team leader sat with Captain Leon for a rare time, and the candlelight dancing on the table between the two made the shadows of the two of them shake on the wall, as if reflecting the mood of the two at the moment.
"Leon, Krizer Magician, has he gone to rest?" The Jersey team leader was the first to break the silence and took the initiative to pour a cup of hot tea for the expressionless Captain Lyon, asking with a smile on his face.
"Yes! After a tiring day, I took the elf to rest after dinner! Looking at the smiling Jersey leader, Captain Leon glanced at him, and then turned his gaze to the steaming teacup that the Jersey leader had pushed over for him.
"Leon, that's... That one... At dinner, the Wizard Krezer, he... Did he mention anything about me? The Jersey leader looked at Captain Leon and asked.
"Why should I mention you? Do you want him to mention you? Picking up the teacup in front of him, Captain Leon took a sip lightly, and asked without raising his head.
"Of course not, of course not! Although the relationship between that elf and me has eased a bit, I have never known what the attitude of the Wizard Krazer is, and he hasn't said a word to me since he returned to the team, can I not be in a hurry? Hearing this, the Jersey leader picked up the teacup in front of him and blew it, but did not take a sip.
"Are you feeling uneasy? Jersey! Pushing the empty teacup in front of the Jersey leader, Captain Lyon looked at the former with a smirk.
"How, I... How... Will not... Quiet! Under the watchful eye of the captain of Lyon, the Jersey leader replied hesitantly, apparently knowing what the former was referring to.
"So what are you worried about? Are you worried about your own life? You don't have to worry about this, unlike other magicians, Kreizer Magician is not a murderer, nor is he a person who holds a grudge for a little thing, as can be seen from his performance after defeating the madman Daun. Captain Leon said slowly as he tapped his fingers on the table.
"I didn't mean that, I finally met a young man with such a good personality and temperament, and I didn't want my things to leave a bad impression on him." The Jersey team leader waved his hand again and again to excuse himself.
"Come on! When did you care about other thoughts, since you want to know, you might as well tell you, Krézer Magician, he said so! Captain Leon said slowly, staring at the eyes of the Jersey leader. He said that he believed in everything, but he didn't want to believe in the sin in people's hearts! ”
"Who believes, but does not believe in the sin of people's hearts? What does this phrase mean? Seeing Captain Leon say such a sentence with a solemn expression, the Jersey boss suddenly felt confused.
"How do I know, no one as smart as you know, how can I know, but judging by my own experience, Mr. Kraser is completely different from the young men I have met before, and I do not see in his eyes the impetuousness and arrogance of young people now, and the greed that comes from the expansion of power." After slowly pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Captain Leon spoke his mind.
What do you mean by that? Why do I get more confused the more I listen? Can you explain it clearly! The more the Jersey leader listened, the more puzzled he became, and he looked at the former with a puzzled look and asked.
"You are also present in the battle with the madman Dawn, so I don't need to tell you! Would other magicians let go of those who offended him so easily? ”
"Of course not! Let's put it this way! The Kraeer Wizard is arguably the easiest magician I've ever dealt with. Seeing Captain Leon mention the identity of the magician, the team leader couldn't help but sigh. No magician has ever been as approachable as a Krizer magician, and even a mid-level magician who is nothing can only look at people through his nostrils, how can he be as easy to talk as a Krizer magician. ”
"Besides this, you saw the two griffons in the afternoon! I believe you should be able to see the value of both of them at a glance! Captain Lyons suddenly changed the subject and brought up the afternoon's events.
"Of course, I don't have any knowledge at all, how can I still mess up! The two griffins, the level 5 griffon, are at least 5 million gold coins, and the level 6 griffin can be sold for at least 10 million gold coins. As soon as Captain Leon mentioned the two griffins, the Jersey leader suddenly came to his senses, and he crossed his fingers and said thinly. Especially the griffin that has just been promoted, if it works well, it can be sold for about 14 million gold coins. ”
"It's such a large sum that the Krizer Wizard let go without blinking an eye, can you do it?" Looking at the Jersey leader with a look of regret, Captain Leon smiled, and then continued. "If it weren't for the money, I don't think Mr. Kraser would have come to be a mercenary! We have both seen his strength, and he is not afraid in the face of dragons, and the mages who dare to communicate with him will not be too low, and in my estimation it is at least the level of a mage who has won the title of Legend. So according to my understanding of him, he is a young man who is particularly faithful to idealization, and this kind of person has his own unique view of things that will not change because of the appearance of others. ”
After stating his assessment of Kraser, Captain Lyon chuckled and teased the Jersey leader. "So do you think he's going to expend his energy on such trivial things? You can't help but think too highly of yourself! ”
After being mercilessly sarcastic by Captain Leon, the face of the Jersey leader suddenly turned red and white. "That's true when you say that, forget it, since the Kraser magician didn't say anything about me, it's useless to think more!"
"Let's think about what to do when we return to headquarters! This time the matter is completely messed up, someone must come out as a scapegoat, and the elder will definitely be furious this time. "Thinking of the consequences after the end of this mission, the fat face of the Jersey boss is full of gloom." The next city is Barstow, which can be said to be the end of our mission, just pick out the part of the cargo that needs to be left behind, and bring the rest to Wynether. ”
"You said too, this time the elder has offended the eldest son of the Henry family, and the future will not be easy, and the most suitable people to carry the black cauldron at the moment are you, me and Rogers, and Rogers is missing, and the people who carry the black cauldron are you and me!" Remembering what the Jersey leader said to him when the elf was taken away by Rogers, Captain Leon didn't know what to do for a while.
"Yes! That's good, I'm going to leave the Shaquille Chamber of Commerce when I go back, I've had enough of being called around, and after so many years of working under the president, I still think I can break out of the world. The dancing candle flame on the table, the flickering candlelight shining on the face of the Jersey leader, made him look very serious.
"You're going it alone? Are you willing to give up the fruits of all these years of struggle? Are you willing to give up so easily? Seeing that the team leader Jersey said this, Captain Leon also looked at him with a look of surprise.
"To be honest, I've had enough of working for others, and I've learned a lot from President Shaquille over the years, and I should be able to stand on my own." The Jersey team leader poured another cup of tea for Captain Lyon, and expressed his thoughts, which were also the real intentions of tonight.
"I found that my impression of you has changed a lot along the way, and you have never taken into account the feelings of others in order to achieve your goals." Hearing the words of the Jersey leader, Captain Leon didn't know that this was the real intention of the former, and at the same time he looked at the former with a surprised face. "In this case, I will walk with you, to be honest, I don't want my child to follow the path I have taken, I want to walk a path without thorns for him."
"I can't see that you are quite far-sighted, since you also want to start a business with me, then I welcome you with both hands, do you have any ideas?" The Jersey team leader asked curiously, rubbing his hands.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it, I'll do whatever you do?"
"Can't you use your brain?"
"No, with you, I don't need to use my brain."
"You slacker, I seem to have been deceived by you!"
"Haha! Only to find out that it was late. ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, we have to hurry tomorrow! Let's finish this at Barstow! Then start our new life. ”
Every night is ordinary, but something extraordinary always happens, and on this ordinary night, the Jersey team leader and Captain Lyon spent their beautiful vision of the future.
Also in this ordinary night, Krezer chose to spend time with the elf Monica, looking at the carefree elf, his face was filled with a smile called happy, but as time passed, the elf who played with Thanatos for half the night also fell asleep quietly on Kraser's lap like a cat.
Looking at Monica, the elf who muttered from time to time, the corners of Kraser's mouth rose slightly, and his rough hands gently stroked his soft silver hair, but at this time his heart had already drifted to Wynether, because there was a beautiful shadow waiting for his return, and when he thought of the beautiful shadow waiting for him to return, Krazer couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and came back, and finally returned to the familiar and unfamiliar city where he had lived for many years. With this indescribable excitement, the tired Krazer leaned on the head of the bed and fell into a sweet sleep.
Newkars City, sixty-two kilometers northeast, there is a small town called Lahore, the town is not small with a population of less than 2,000, although the population is sparse, but it is unusually prosperous, because forty-two kilometers to the east of here there is a giant city known on the continent, called Wynether, that is, the power center of the most powerful empire on the continent of Montimos, the Opdos Empire.
Because of its proximity to the imperial capital, this town has become the last stop for business travelers who want to go to the imperial capital to rest, because of this, the most industry in this town is bars and hotels, and because next month is the emperor's birthday, so, the town has been flooded with a lot of strange faces these days, tonight, too,
The Traveler's House Bar is also very lively tonight, even if it is the middle of the moon, the travelers and mercenaries in the bar are still coming in an endless stream, looking at the full bar, the boss Bucer can't stop smiling, because the income in the past half a month has been worth the usual year's income, how can this not make him happy, he even secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor will have a big birthday every day.
After settling the last account on the ledger, the boss of Bucer walked around the lively hall with a smile on his face, and although the buzz of people's conversation gave him a headache, he still looked at the people who were already drinking and red-eared.
However, when his eyes surveyed the southwest corner of the bar hall, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, because in the two seats in the corner, there were only four people, and one of them occupied a table, which was in stark contrast to the fact that every seat around him was full, and there were even people standing and drinking because there were no seats. Seeing this, the boss Bucer closed the ledger in his hand and immediately rushed out of the bar, wanting to drive the four people who occupied two seats into one of the seats, so that he could free up one seat and earn more gold coins.
But when he was about to walk to the side of these four people, his steps involuntarily slowed down, because the man sitting alone in a seat had an unhealthy pale color, a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses on his slightly feminine face, a silky black hair hanging down to his waist, an elegant and cold silver knife to cut the fragrant beef on the plate, he was wearing a white corseted robe, and on his chest was tattooed with a mysterious magic array symbol with gold threads, Although he didn't have a wand or wand by his side, the robe on his body was enough to prove his noble status as a magician, and it was clear that this was a person he could never afford to mess with.
Wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, the boss Bucer couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other three. This look suddenly made him feel a cold war from the bottom of his heart, although he only glanced at the person in charge, although the former was only a young man in his thirties, with his many years of experience in seeing people, judging from the fencing sword that was only the thickness of his index finger hanging from his waist, this person's hands must have been stained with the blood of countless people, so even inadvertently exuding an astonishing aura was enough to discourage those who wanted to approach.
Now the boss Bucer finally knew the reason why everyone consciously avoided this place, although he wanted to earn more gold coins, but he cherished his life more, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva unwillingly, he stomped his foot and returned to the bar indignantly, wondering if he wanted to make up for it by doing some small tricks on the bill of the two groups.
