Odrensa, the site of the Dark Temple, is the largest main city in the southern part of the Sarvinian continent, ruled by the Dark Council and the Mage's Guild.

Looking at the entire southern border of the mainland, it is undoubtedly the biggest stage.

Although Warren is a young man, his ambition has never been extinguished, and it can even be said that he is in the most fiery stage.

If fate is powerless to change and he dies silently in this territory, Warren will have no complaints.

But if it's possible, who doesn't want to stand taller and see farther.

After observing Warren's expression, Faith refocused his gaze on the street in a chaotic light and shadow.

"My older and younger brothers were too sharp, a little too eager for the transfer of power, and the old guy was pressured to push me out, and this balance within the family has always been disgusting. ”

Now that the old fellow is not yet fifty years old, he is ostensibly willing to let go of his power, but in fact he just wants to set up an obedient puppet in the front row, so that he can have more energy to indulge in luxury and pleasure. ”

"Even if the old guy really gives up the position of lord in the future, do you think my brothers will not have the heart to stir in private? When I go back in two years, most of the people in the territory will definitely be ready to be appointed. ”

"The reason why I asked you to focus on an orphan is that the meaning is not about the person or the thing itself, because it's just a small thing to do or not to do. ”

"To be precise, it's just an attempt. And I hope that in the future, you will gradually become familiar with this method, reach out to more people, see more, think more, and then make a rough and accurate judgment about who will be of use to us in the future. ”

"For example, an orphan will be more resilient and resilient than others if he or she can grow from hardship, and the age of the orphan means that loyalty is relatively easy to cultivate. ”

"Even if you find out that the other party is just an incompetent fool who is temporarily lucky, so what does it matter, there are countless Thor waiting for you to discover. ”

"I don't care who the other person is or who he is, I just care if he can be used to me and if he will help me in what I am going to do. ”

"The talent reserve is far from enough to rely on recruitment and recommendation, no matter how far we have to go and what we want to do, we must have a group of various types of talents in our hands. ”

"We don't have much time left. ”

With that, Faith turned his head and looked at Warren, the guard beside him.

For Warren, the harvest of today's heart-to-heart conversation is undoubtedly huge.

Because of Feith's repeated mention of the word 'we', and the fact that one of his guards had been exposed to the secrets of the lord's family, it was clear that he had not treated him as an outsider.

And the uncertain future in Feith's words also made Warren feel that his already cold blood was boiling even more.

"Young Master has foresight, in the future, his subordinates will do their best to run for you and swear to serve your life. ”

Feith, who was always indifferent, smiled silently and patted Warren's arm lightly, and the tall and short figures gradually drifted apart.

"Covier, are you there?"

Shogues jumped to the bottom of the well and looked around with an eager expression.

After the duel, Thor told him that Corvier was waiting for him at the bottom of the well, and that there was a new shop in town that sold delicious creamy mushroom soup, and the sisters suggested that the four of them should have a good dinner.

But at the moment the bottom of the well was dark, not even a candle was lit, and it did not look like a person.

Feeling vaguely as if he had been deceived, Shogues suddenly remembered that Thor hadn't invited the sisters to watch the duel at all.

In the darkness, Thor, who was leaning against the wall of the well, opened his eyes, and the short sword silently came up.

"Assassination isn't for you, that's not your style. ”

Shugues calmly cocked a finger to open the short sword resting around his neck, and turned to face Thor. He knew that Sol must still be haunted by the teasing he had been made before the duel, and now he was clearly here to ask for an explanation.

"I always have to say something to build momentum for you on that kind of lively occasion at that time, and although it is a bit irresponsible to push you in front of people, you have to take a long-term view. ”

"Since we have decided to meddle in the potion business, if we can take the opportunity to hook up with the family behind Ruianna, don't you think we can save a lot of risk and trouble?"

At first glance, Shoguez's words sounded reasonable, but Thor knew it was nonsense.

Rianna's family must have had a bloody and brutal past in the early days of primitive accumulation.

Although they have put away their swords and used elegant jokes to grab profits, the two orphans rashly jumped out to talk about cooperation with a powerful family, and in the case of the unequal strength of the two sides of the transaction, they will only be swallowed to the bone in the end.

Obscuring the essence of things with nonsense has always been Shogues' forte, and Thor will certainly not be perfunctory by his words, and the short sword shook in his hand and pasted it again.

Shugus turned his head to avoid the coldness on the dagger, his eyes rolling.

"It's really sad, I can't imagine that you can't understand my hard work, in fact, my real purpose is to break the miserable life of an ascetic like yours and help you regain your self-confidence in life. ”

"I'd love to see you try to learn about the wonderful life of women, and to get to know them deeply, you first have to learn how to deal with several girls at once, like Erin and Rianna. ”

"Break my miserable life?" Thor twitched as he sneered at these lame excuses from Schuggers.

"I see that you are like a fish in water among those girls, I think it seems that you are the biggest beneficiary of today's duel, aren't you afraid that Corville will trouble you?"

This was not speculation, as Thor had seen Kovel chase and beat a cunning and nimble thief like Shogues up and down more than once.

The corners of Shogues' eyes jumped, and then he said forcefully with a stiff neck:

"So what?"

"Even if she was there and heard and saw it, but what about that~?"

"Don't worry about these little things, and don't be held back by women's ideas. You have to be brave, there will always be flowers on the road to becoming a man, and you have to learn to juggle between two or even a few girls. ”

Speaking of excitement, Shogues let out an inexplicable cough and began to dance.

"As you said last time, your disgusting antidote can make life between life and death, but unfortunately I don't think the word 'free' is subtle enough, so I decided to use 'circumference'. ”

"You know, this is a wonderful realm, a high-end skill on the spiritual level, and it is also what you lack the most at the moment. It allows you to navigate between several girls and eventually find the perfect balance. ”

Hearing that Shoguestian shamelessly rationalized his fanaticism for multiple members of the opposite sex, coupled with the fact that this little tramp who couldn't read a few words actually discussed the problem of vocabulary with himself in a serious manner, Saul was already trembling with laughter.

Apparently Shoggers is already on his way to becoming a man...... Lost.

Saul wasn't worried that Shogues would be the kind of person who messed around, he just liked to be in the limelight, especially in front of the opposite sex, in order to show off his charm that didn't exist.

And he's also very good at putting his friends in all sorts of awkward situations as a way to satisfy his bad tastes.

There is no good way to deal with this freak Thor.

In that case, then ...... Let's hurt each other.

Looking at the guy who could always tell the truth about a bunch of crooked theories, Thor patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

"Well, my poor brother, I hope you can keep your balance up, and good luck!

The high-spirited Shogues looked dazed.

"What do you mean? What do you mean to come back alive? I'm not going anywhere. ”

Thor ignored him, snapping his fingers in the air.

"Let's go, it looks like it's just the two of us for dinner today. ”

As if in response to a call, Erin briskly sprang out of the corner and grabbed Thor's hand, not forgetting to glare back at Shogues, and after a moment it turned into a gloating smile.

“......！”

Xiugus stood alone at the bottom of the dark well, and suddenly a cold sweat left behind for no apparent reason.

With some difficulty, he turned his head to face another silent corner, as if he were facing the terrifying endless abyss of legend.

After a moment, Shoggus asked softly towards the abyss:

“...... Are you there, Covier?"
