Chapter 2: Ulrika

Lake's elementary sword fighting skills were taught by Dashe, whose origin is a bit mysterious, and when asked about him, he always said that he was a vagabond, and there was nothing else that could express his identity except for an old southerner identification.

Of course, Lake is even more desperate, he doesn't even have an identity certificate, so if he wants to go out on a long trip, it is enough to choke, and without an identity certificate, the average city will not let you in.

That is, Daisy Town, which is at the junction of the wild in the south, will not be so strict.

"What is she looking for me for?"

Lake was a little puzzled, he had nothing to do with this young lady magician, if he insisted on saying that there were, he could name two or three, for example, the president of the Demon Tiger Wings of the guild he was currently in was the father of this young lady. For example, he took care of the young lady's two white horses. For example, Dasher and another thief, Alvor, teach him some rudimentary skills while also being Miss Ulrika's servants.

"It's certainly not going to be a bad thing."

I don't know when, the obscene Alvo has been leaning on the edge of the door frame, his hands crossed, leaning a little lazily, one foot behind his back, his toes against the ground, a goatee and small eyes, no matter how you look at it, it is the image of a deceitful villain.

But for Lake, this guy isn't too bad.

At the very least, a thief who can use a jug of ale to kill a beginner assassin is not so easy to find.

Although both Dashe and Alvo have the intention of playing and the means of getting started when it comes to teaching Lake, it is simply scum.

The two of them had never looked up to Lake, and in their opinion, Lake only needed to be a promising groom, and it was useless to learn those sword fighting techniques or assassination techniques.

However, Lake's reflexes are good, perhaps thanks to the fact that he joined the army at the age of sixteen and retired before he played Last Prayer.

"Alvor, give!"

Lake pulled out a packet of jerky from his bosom, a specialty of a barbecue restaurant on the street, and it tasted good, but it was more expensive, and it cost a silver coin to buy a pack.

Alvo loved the jerky.

The thief easily caught the jerky bag with one hand, leaned in front of his nose and sniffed, "Hmm...... It's so fragrant, is it still jerky in sauce? ”

"Pine nut sauce and fish roe, and your hazelnut kernels are indispensable." Lake put a small mink fur hat on his head with a pheasant's feather stuck in it, and walked out.

When passing by, Alvo was stunned: there seemed to be a trace of blood just now?

"Where has Lake been today?" As he walked inside, he asked Dashe.

"He went to the tavern to buy me wine. Said there were mercenaries in the tavern? Dasher pulled off the cork, took two sips, and suddenly sighed, nodding very comfortably, "I heard that there was blood." ”

"The group fight is indeed a group fight......

Alvor nodded: But did you see blood? Why didn't I see it?

As he walked, Lake thought about what he should say when he saw Ulrika later, and after thinking about it, there didn't seem to be anything to say, and he and Ulrika had spoken no more than five sentences in the eight months since they first met.

When I arrived at the door of the Demon Tiger Wings Magic Guild, this is a stone castle building, in the center of the town, although it is not the headquarters, but I can still feel the confidence of the big guild, which is not comparable to ordinary small guilds.

On the top of the stone fort is a large flag with a pattern of a wing.

These are the wings of the Demon Tiger.

"Long time no see."

"Hello."

"Yo, Lake, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

……

Magicians aren't all as unapproachable as the big ones, some of them are still very welcoming, at least when it comes to helpful and hard-working grooms like Lake.

Of course, if they knew that such a groom actually had the surnames of five magicians on hand, they didn't know if they would still be so enthusiastic.

Lake also thought about whether he had gone to the Shadow Alliance to secretly take over the work and was discovered, but after thinking about it, how could he be discovered after so many years of experience as a soldier, not even a thief like Alvor, how could these magicians find any clues.

"Excuse me, where is Miss Ulrika? She came to me. ”

Lake asked Miss Manners at the front desk.

"Oh, she's in the hall on the second floor, drinking tea maybe."

Lake nodded in thanks, and then remained polite, not humble, but not proud, anyway, like those magicians who knew each other well, and went upstairs.

If he didn't know the roots, he would have thought he was a magician.

Upstairs, Lake saw Ulrika, one of the legendary "Ten Novas" of the Southern Wizards Alliance, nicknamed "Flame Flower".

She was a sixth-order limited fire magician, and there were twenty of her followers. Twelve swordsmen, five knights, and three thieves, and this is still the usual equipment, if she takes on a mission, she can expand to more than two hundred people at any time.

Dashe is the leader of the twelve swordsmen, he is the leader of the swordsman squad, a fifth-order limited swordsman.

"Hello, Miss Ullica, do you have any instructions for me?"

Lake took off his minkskin cap, buckled it to his chest, bowed slightly, and nodded.

Very polite look.

"Lake."

Ulrike removed the glasses from the bridge of her nose, and then the glasses disappeared from her hand, closing a magic book on the table, and she looked up, her fiery red hair was only knotted with a ribbon, and her royal blue pupils looked deep.

She just looked up at Lake casually, if it was an ordinary person, she might have panicked when she saw it, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her strong reputation.

"Miss, you command." Ryker lowered his eyelids and didn't make eye contact with her, he couldn't surprise her.

He had to be like an ordinary person, with a hint of respect.

Ulrika smiled and said, "I heard from Dashe and Alvo that you have learned simple sword fighting and assassination techniques with them, and if you pass the first-order limited swordsman assessment, I will allow you to become my swordsman servant, with a commission of seven silver coins per month." If you want to enter the king [***] in the future, I will recommend it first. ”

"Huh?! Is this true? This...... Is this true?! ”

Lake tried his best to look surprised, his lips trembling a little, and his palm tightly grasped the mink's fur hat, looking like a flattered rookie.

His performance was very useful to Ulrika, and although she was not a person who earned the pleasure of the superior by squeezing the little people, it still made the young lady feel a sense of pride in her own ability.

"It's not settled yet, you still need to work hard." Ulrika said with a smile.

Lake nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I will work hard, I will definitely work hard!" ”

Seven silver coins a month is much better than a groom for a silver coin a month.

"Okay, that's it, you go and get busy yourself, remember to work hard!"

Ulrika said to Lake.

"I'll try! I'll try! Thank you, thank you, gracious young lady. ”

Lake nodded and walked backwards, but he was disdainful: When I get my official identity, I can leave this neurotic place.

Lake turned and left the guild
