Chapter 56: The One Who Makes the Choice
After leaving the reception room, Kraser walked through the sprawling castle for a while under the butler's lead, and finally stopped in front of a small detached building that was relatively low compared to the surrounding buildings, and then the butler pushed the door and said to Kraser.

"Magician Krazier, Carmocido is inside, go in! The servant just brought him dinner, and he shouldn't have rested yet!"
"Thank you!"
After looking around for a moment, Kratzer bowed his head slightly and thanked the butler and walked in, he walked slowly through the empty room, the whole small building was filled with a pungent smell of medicine, which made Thanatos, who was lying on his shoulder, sneeze fiercely. At this time, the dwarf Camosidor was half-lying on the bed, his thick arms wrapped in white bandages, his eyes staring blankly at the roof, not knowing what he was thinking, and the table next to him was still on the leftover dinner, and the room was full of the strong smell of pungent potions, making it impossible to stay here for long.
"Are you alone here, and the servant?"
"Oh! it's you, Magician Krezer, it's good you're not hurt!" the dwarf Camosidor who was lying on the bed struggled to sit up when he saw that it was Krezer.
Seeing the dwarf Camosiddo struggling, Krazer took two quick steps forward and reached out to help Camosiddo sit up.
"If your injuries are not healed, don't move. Fraser looked at the dwarf Camosiddo with concern.
"Hehe, it's nothing, our dwarves are very tough, and we'll be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry!" said the dwarf Camosiddo with a smile, but his smile touched the wound on his body, which made his smile look a little stiff.
"It's okay to be fine, take care of your body, and don't leave any sequelae. By the way, what are you asking of the City Lord? I'm going to borrow the Imperial Capital's Magic Teleportation Array to go to Berkeley. Kratzer moved a chair and sat down beside the dwarf Camosiddo's bed.
"Originally, I was going to use all the bounty money to buy food, and I hope that the city lord can sell it to me at the lowest price as much as possible, after all, winter is coming, and our tribe also needs food for the winter!"
"However, just now the butler told me that the food in the city is no longer sufficient, because the two orc mercenaries have already put forward this condition before me, and I can only find another way. But the lord promised me that I could find another way through the Fernando family in the imperial capital, and he asked me to go to the Fernando family in the imperial capital, where I could buy enough food. Moreover, I have also accepted the commission of the city lord this time, and I am ready to follow the escort team to the imperial capital in a few days. The dwarf Camosiddo whispered the whole story to Krezer, his words filled with a sense of loss. But then, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked up at Kraser. "Didn't the city lord invite you? With your joining, I believe that there will definitely be no more accidents in this escort mission. ā
"I declined the invitation of the city lord, Carmocido! I believe you should remember the conspiracy that night, and I didn't want to take the risk in the face of that kind of unclear mastermind, so I refused. After all, I'm just a mercenary, not a great hero!" Krizer involuntarily looked away as he spoke, looking at the candlelight in front of him. After only a few moments of silence, Kraser made his intentions clear. "But that's fine, it's important that you can help the tribe through the winter when you go to the imperial capital! I want to invite you to Berkeley with me! ā
"I'm really sorry, Magician Krezer! I'm very willing to accept your invitation, after all, I came out of the tribe to break through on the continent and see the world, by the way, see if there is a way to solve the tribe's food crisis, now that I have a chance to solve the crisis, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I can't give up anything, so I'm really sorry for your invitation. After hearing Kraser's words, the dwarf Camosiddo's godless eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again, and he looked at Kraser apologetically.
"Okay then, you can recuperate!I'm going back to the hotel, we'll have a chance to see you again in the imperial capital!" Frazer stood up and waved his hand, and walked outside.
The dwarf Cassido looked at Krezer's distant back and did not speak, but clenched his fists and slowly released them, and when the sound of the door closing from downstairs came, he began to look up at the dark roof again with blank eyes, not knowing what to think.
After walking out of the dwarf Camosido's small building, the butler waiting outside the door was long gone, and only a servant was waiting outside the door, and he walked up quickly after seeing Krazer come out. But at this time, Krezer had no intention of staying in this place any longer, so he motioned for the servant to lead the way towards the outside of the castle.
At this time, it was close to midnight, walking alone on the empty streets of Fernando, Kraser's expression was very low, even the lively and active Tanatos lying on his shoulder was surprisingly quiet at the moment, he honestly lay on his shoulder and did not move. I don't know how long he walked on this empty street, Kraser stood in front of the palatial hotel, looking at the palatial hotel in front of him, but he didn't feel like he wanted to stay in his heart, now he just wanted to leave this place quickly.
"You're back Wizard Krezer, do you need any service?" As soon as Kreezer walked into the door of the hotel, the eleventh waiter who had received Krezer greeted him quickly.
However, Kraser, who was depressed, waved his hand and did not answer, and walked straight to the room upstairs. Looking at Krezer's slightly depressed back, Serena, the blonde girl standing at the bar, opened her mouth to say something, but was pulled by Boss Todd's arm and didn't say it after all.
"Serena, it seems that Mr. Kraser is not in a good mood today, so let's not bother him for now, Camosiddo will be fine. The boss, Todd, looked at Kraser's bleak back and lowered his voice to Serena.
After Kraser's figure disappeared around the corner of the second floor, the boss Todd motioned to waiter No. 11 to close the door of the hotel, and then let him go to rest, leaving only the blonde girl Serena and the boss Todd alone in the spacious hall.
The two were silent for a long time before the boss Todd looked at Selena and spoke slowly. "Your father is writing again, and he tells you to get back to him as soon as possible!"
"Father, when was it?" said the blonde girl, Selene, with a little surprise at this.
"Just today, you see, this is a letter from your father!" As he spoke, the boss Todd pulled out a letter covered with red fire paint from his bosom and handed it to Serena.
After the blonde girl Serena took the letter covered with fire paint, she deftly tore it open, took out the letter full of words written inside, and read it carefully under the candlelight, and the boss Todd quietly watched Serena's tilted head, not knowing what she was thinking.
But it didn't take long for Serena to finish reading the letter from her father, her eyes filled with confusion. "What should I choose, Uncle Todd! I really don't want to leave Bastoi!"
"Son, I know the bond between the two of you, and I know your father's attitude, this matter is not urgent after all, and now your father needs your help, I think I should return to him. Knowing that the blonde girl Serena would ask this question, the boss Todd said his thoughts without thinking.
"But."
Although Serena wanted to get an answer from her boss Todd, she hesitated when it came time for the advice given by her boss Todd, remembering the first time she met Bastoi.
In a bustling city, on the side of a clean and tidy street, a group of boys in gorgeous clothes and only about seven or eight years old were shouting around a little girl in shabby clothes and a little dirty face, while the latter stared at the boys around her with a pair of big smart eyes and some horror, like frightened rabbits.
"Get out, you lowly commoner, you are not qualified to walk with us nobles!" led by a tall boy, the clothes he was wearing were obviously much more gorgeous than the boys around him, and the expression of the little girl was also arrogant, and he wanted to raise his nostrils to the sky.
"That's right! Commoners are not qualified to walk down the same street as us naturally noble nobles and go back to where you belong. The other boy, whose eyes were so bloated that he was slitted in his eyes, echoed him.
"That's it!" the boys around them echoed in unison.
"Woo woo woo!" The little girl who was surrounded in the middle had two tear stains on her round little face, but she didn't say anything, just bit her lower lip tightly, and a pair of pitiful big eyes kept looking around, as if she was looking for someone.
But just then, as the boys were shouting loudly, an equally immature voice suddenly interjected, interrupting them and attracting the little girl's attention.
"You guys, don't bully people!"
The owner of this voice was also a little boy who was only about six or seven years old, with short blond hair that reached his ears, elegant deerskin boots and the same gorgeous clothes as the boy at the head, and a strange-looking beast head sewn with gold thread on his chest, and a short wand in his hand, which showed his identity as a magician.
"Don't meddle in your business, stinky boy, tell you that lowly civilians shouldn't be here!"
Although he was a little afraid of the wand in the hand of the little boy who suddenly appeared, the boy in the lead still refused to admit defeat, he looked at the few people around him, took a step forward with his chest straight, he pinched his waist and raised his head to look at the little boy holding the wand.
"No, you bully, I don't agree!" looked down and thought for a moment, the little boy with the wand in his hand really couldn't think of any powerful words, but he still said stubbornly. At this moment, the little girl, who was surrounded by the boys, took advantage of this opportunity to run out of their encirclement, and ran behind the little boy with the wand in three steps and two steps, and the little hands grabbed his clothes and hid behind him.
"Hmph, get out of the way, or I'll make you look good!" Seeing this scene, the boy in charge suddenly blushed, he looked at the little boy in front of him who was half a head shorter than himself, and suddenly came to courage, he took another step forward, looking at him menacingly, with his movements, the boys around him also came to courage, and they all took a step forward and surrounded him. Seeing this scene, the little girl hiding behind the wand in her hand, her hand holding the little boy's clothes was even more limited, but obviously the little boy in front of him was not afraid, and saw him snort softly, and chanted the incantation loudly in a loud voice, the incantation was very short, and soon the chanting ended, and then the little boy waved the wand in his hand in a dashing manner, and the childish voice instantly spread throughout the place.
"Ground Surge!"
As the little boy's voice fell, the boys who slowly surrounded them suddenly felt that the originally hard and solid road suddenly became soft, as if something was going to come out from below, undulating, which made these boys unable to stand firm one by one.
"You're amazing!" Seeing the boys who were bullying her being chased away by the little boy in front of her, the crying little girl finally burst into tears and laughed, staring at a pair of big shining eyes with a look of adoration.
"Hmph, of course, I'm going to be a legendary magician when I grow up!" the little boy with his wand looked up triumphantly, proud as a little rooster.
"What is a Legendary Magician?"
"Uh, it's a very powerful, very famous kind! Oops, you don't know it!"
"Woo."
"Don't cry! Don't cry! I have candy here, do you want to taste it, it's sweet!"
"Why are they bullying you?"
"They say I'm a lowly commoner, not a nobleman, and I shouldn't be on the same path as them!"
"Uh, that's right!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Alright then, I've decided, you should be my bride!"
"Well, the bride? What's that, why should you be your bride?"
"Well, I don't know!" the little boy looked down and thought about it for a moment, but he couldn't think of a reason, and finally said simply. "Because I'm a nobleman, as long as you become my bride, you'll be a nobleman, so they won't dare to bully you anymore!"
"Well, that's right! Okay, I promise you!"
"Then let's pull the hook!" said the little boy who stretched out his little finger, and so did the little girl, and the two immature little fingers hooked together. Then the little boy rummaged through his pockets, took out two red fruits the size of his fist, and handed one to the little girl. "Here you go, this is also delicious, it was given to me by my grandmother, and I haven't had time to eat it yet!
Facing the red fruit handed over by the little boy, the little girl looked so unrestrained, she stretched out her pink little hand, took it, and wiped it with her sleeve, the little boy was the same, the two put the red fruit in their mouths at the same time and took a bite and said in unison.
"It's so sweet!"
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Bastoi, my name is Bastoy Fernando!" replied the little boy vaguely, eating the red fruit. "What about you?"
At this moment, a young woman with long blonde hair, but with a graceful and luxurious expression and an anxious expression, accompanied by a heroic young man, led a boy who was not much older than a little boy came over.
"Bastoi, how many times have you told you not to run around. ā
After hearing the young woman's shout, the little boy ate the fruit in his hand in two bites, wiped it on his clothes, kissed the little girl's pink face heavily, and then stuffed the wand in his hand into the little girl's hand, and said matter-of-factly.
"Remember, you're my bride, wait for me!
"My name is Serena, Serena Noi!"
But the little boy had already hurried towards the young woman's side, but he did not see the little girl's blushing face and mosquito-sized voice. Looking at the back of the little boy leaving, the little girl's big shining eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she even forgot to eat the delicious fruit in her hand. Also as soon as the little boy's family left, two men appeared beside her, one was burly and mighty, and the other was slightly bloated.
"Serena, come here, we're leaving!" the burly man beckoned to the little girl sitting on the ground with his big hands, and the latter obediently patted the dirt on his body and ran towards the man quickly.
"Baby, what happened just now?" The burly man frowned as he looked at the two tear stains that were still clearly visible on the little girl's face.
After seeing her father's concern, the little girl truthfully told him what had just happened, and after listening to it, the latter glanced at the slightly bloated companion beside him, and left here with the little girl in his arms, but he didn't notice that the little girl's eyes had been looking at the direction where the little boy had disappeared for a long time and refused to give up.
