It was a middle-aged man.

With a goatee and small eyes, it gives a shrewd and mean feeling.

He was dressed in black, which looked a bit like a modern suit, and he was very sophisticated.

With a big smile on his face, the man held out his hand to Allen.

"Hello Magician, I'm Earl Scott. ”

"My name is Alan. ”

Alan shook his hand gently.

It feels a little rough to the touch, and even a little calloused.

Alan sat across from Earl Scott.

The seats are leather and comfortable.

Although Alan didn't understand, the environment inside the entire carriage looked very luxurious and noble, in line with the positioning of a low-key rich man.

When Mia came in, Earl Scott shook her hand again.

"Remove the hoods, I want to know what the collaborators really are. ”

Earl Scott closed the door gently, and the inside of the carriage with the curtains drawn suddenly became a little dark.

He pulled a match and lit the candle on the counter next to him.

Seeing Eren remove her hood, Mia hesitated for a moment and did so.

"Lady Mia, why are you here?"

The candlelight flickered, and Earl Scott was a little surprised to see Mia's pretty face.

"Go out and execute the order. ”

Mia said lightly.

"That's right......," said Earl Scott, bowing his head, as if in thought.

"Then you should be able to guess why I'm looking for you, right?"

Mia nodded and didn't speak.

"This gentleman looks a little raw, he's from somewhere else, why haven't I seen it before?"

Seeing that Mia didn't seem to have any desire to speak, Earl Scott turned his head and looked at Alan's face with narrow eyes.

Alan nodded.

"Where did it come from?"

There was silence in the carriage.

Seeing that Alan didn't like to talk too much, Earl Scott rubbed his nose and sighed.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, what matters is, how many stars are you?"

"Two stars. ”

Alan spoke.

I'll be sure to ask Mia what the hell is going on.

Out of the corner of her eye, she swept to Mia, who was staring blankly at the wooden table in front of her, her usual style.

Earl Scott nodded, his face not showing surprise, but also not disappointed.

"That's it. ”

He stood up and opened the door.

Mia didn't say anything and walked on.

Alan looked confused, and as he walked down, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Earl Scott.

"More contact. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Earl Scott's mouth, and he shoved a hard object into Alan's palm.

It's a gold coin.

The doors closed.

Putting the gold coin in his arms, Alan didn't say anything to Mia.

"What the hell is he looking for us?"

As the convoy walked away, Alan walked beside Mia and asked.

"There are three counts and one duke in Boulder City, and Scott is one of those three counts. ”

"There is often a fight among them for resources and money, so they want to get all the help. ”

"Whatever they promise, I hope you don't kill innocent people. ”

Turning around, Mia's pretty face was very serious.

Eren remembered that when Mia told him about Anna, she was the same.

"I see. ”

Seeing that Eren agreed, Mia put the hood of her robe on again.

It didn't take long for Alan and the two to get close to Boulder City.

Countless houses of varying heights are scattered in front of you, and in the distance are tall boulder walls.

Quite a few people in shabby clothes walked back and forth between these houses.

Their faces were yellow and thin, their burlap clothes were full of patches, and their eyes were full of numbness to life.

The only thing that was clean around was the gravel road in the middle of the street.

"Front, have you ever been to Boulder City?"

Alan asked inwardly.

"I've only been to Boulder once, where have you been?"

"Well, the matter in Greystone is settled. ”

"It's a messy place, even if you're a two-star magician, you have to pay attention. ”

As they spoke, Alan and the others approached the slum-like place.

When the people around saw the skeleton horse under Allen and the others, they were not frightened, but avoided it as if they had seen a plague god.

"What are you going to do when you enter Boulder City?"

Not caring about these poor people, Alan asked Mia.

"Take the commission and kill the monster. ”

Mia looked at the city gate in the distance and said lightly.

"Take me one. ”

Hearing Alan's words, Mia turned her head and looked at Alan's face.

"Hmm. ”

The skeleton horse at Alan's feet shuddered suddenly.

She...... Didn't you reject me?

Alan was a little surprised.

After these few days of getting along, he thinks Mia is a good person.

Less talk, reliable, will not leave behind companions.

The most important thing is that she has seen the big world, and she feels much stronger than Front, who is housed in her right arm.

One more thing, she's really beautiful.

The two rode skeletal horses and swaggered across the street.

After passing through the slums, we came to the city gate.

At the huge city gate, several guards in steel armor were standing nearby, their eyes constantly examining the people passing by.

Every now and then, one or two of them would come out and take someone who looked sneaky aside for questioning.

As Alan and the two passed, the guards' eyes scanned back and forth over their robes, but they didn't move.

Because they ride skeleton horses that are exclusive to magicians.

This is just a sub-gate of Boulder City, but after Alan walked in, he still stopped for the bustling scene in front of him.

A few children were chasing and playing in the street, smiling faces.

Stalls selling food and toys line neatly on both sides of the street.

But people's eyes were still full of defensiveness and vigilance.

Following Mia, Eren came to a huge palace.

In the well-planned streets, the palace stands here like an outlier that shouldn't be.

When pedestrians walk, they will deliberately avoid the road near the palace, even if it is a little longer walked.

"Ya...... Fallon?"

Looking at the font carved into that palace, Alan couldn't help but read it out.

This is an organization of magicians.

Mia retrieved her skeleton horse and walked down the steps towards the palace.

Just stunned, Alan followed.

"Tiffany, you must help me!"

Before he could get closer, an old woman's voice suddenly came from the palace.

"Tina, this is Afaryn, not an animal shelter, your cat is missing, please go find the guards. ”

She was answered by another old voice.

There were two old ladies in it.

"The guards are the rice buckets that help take money and don't do things, okay, let me issue a commission. ”

"No, unless there are monsters involved, there is no need for a magician for this kind of thing!"

"Please go back!"
