"Svadia? Are you a Swadia, a Suno or a Dehrim, or a Paraven? Isn't it, it must be Uxhower! ”

Although Charles is an outsider to the continent, his inquisitive knowledge of the continent's important regions has long been his master.

But to Charles's surprise, listening to the names of places that kept coming out of his mouth, the man in front of him, Luzius, he just smiled and kept shaking his head.

Charles finally ran out, and said with a wry smile spread over his hands, "I'm sorry sir, but I'm a foreigner like you, and I'm even farther away. So, I'm sorry if you forgive me for not being able to name your hometown exactly. ”

Lucius was a little surprised that Charles was too kind to himself, this kindness has long gone beyond the scope of nobles and commoners, which can be seen from the fact that Charles did not even explain his title when he introduced himself before, this noble lord really wants to get acquainted with him.

While pondering what would appeal to a nobleman, Luzius replied respectfully, "I'm sorry, my lord." My hometown is a small village near Parabun, the capital of the Kingdom of Swadia, and his name is Vidah. So actually, I'm just a countryman, not a citizen of a big city, as you say. ”

Charles looked at the beautiful man Lucius in front of him, and said with a puzzled expression, "You are from a village near Paraven, so you are from Paraven." It's like I'm from Sebara but I'm a Ryzk, so why do you say you're not a Paravenite? ”

This time it was Lucius's turn to be dumbfounded, and after a moment he muttered, "My lord, are you from outside the continent?" ”

Charles also figured it out at this time, I'm afraid this is the so-called cultural difference, although to a large extent, the civilization of Swadia is not very different from Reild, but there is still a slight difference after all, but there is still a slight difference across the strait.

Charles didn't want to delve into the matter, his eyes were burning as he looked at the man in front of him, and he didn't even know that Luzius was staring at him.

Luzius shuddered at the thought of the strange hobbies of the nobles that he had heard during his long journey.

"Your swordsmanship is really good, and it also has a sense of slaughter, have you ever been in the army?"

Ha, it turned out that you were interested in my swordsmanship, thank goodness!

Thinking of this, Lucius finally breathed a long sigh of relief, he shook his head with a little regret, and said with a look of loss: "I have not joined the army, my lord. I didn't learn this swordsmanship from the army, but I learned it when I was a mercenary and a bounty hunter. ”

Charles asked curiously, "A swordsman of your caliber should be very popular, why don't you try to join a nobleman's private army?" ”

Charles looked at Luzius in front of him, looked at his speechless appearance, and hurriedly said: "If you are really inconvenient to say, don't say it, I am too abrupt, I am very sorry." ”

Luzius waved his hand in embarrassment, and he said with a touched face: "My lord, I really didn't expect to get such a courtesy from a nobleman one day. Since you think so highly of me, I have nothing to hide. When I was twenty years old, I offended a small landowner of ours, which was fine, but unfortunately one of his relatives happened to be working as an errand boy at the court of Palauven. So I had no choice but to leave the country, and now I have been wandering outside for a full ten years! I've forgotten what my home was like, I don't know how my brothers are doing, I don't even know if my parents are still alive! ”

Speaking of this, this man who stood up to the sky and the earth was a little choked.

Charles looked at him and saw that what had happened to him was so similar to his own. He also said in a low tone, "Didn't you think about going back and seeing?" ”

Lucius said in despair: "Of course I thought about going back to see it, but if I went back, I would definitely be hanged by them!" I don't want to die in front of my family and friends! That's why I keep competing in these kinds of competitions, but I've always been a loser, all the time! ”

Looking at the man in front of him, who had become a little hysterical, Charles said in a deep voice: "Like you, I also came to Calradia because I offended a great nobleman of ours. I want to go home too! I'm going to take back everything about myself! So, Mr. Lucius, would you like to gamble with me in the land of opportunity in Calradia? If we win, we can return home and get everything back! Even if we lose the bet, there's nothing to lose, is there? ”

Luzius stared blankly at this suddenly fanatical nobleman, and his long-dormant heart became a little restless. He gritted his teeth fiercely and roared in a voice like gritting steel, "I bet! ”

Charles was finally satisfied, he was not prepared to tell Luzius about his embarrassing situation, and what had happened in the past few days had taught him that there were many unexpected benefits to pretending to be extravagant. But in the end, he still couldn't resist his impulse and explained everything.

However, Charles has no regrets at all.

At least, it is not for nothing that I know that there are people in this world who are as miserable as myself. At least, I'm not alone anymore.

"With our current strength, all ideas can only be empty talk. But Mr. Lucius, uh, may I call you Us? ”

"Of course, sir!"

"You don't have to call me Lord anymore, Us, just call me Charr. I've also signed up for this tournament, and I'm going to go out to compete in a while, no matter what the outcome of the tournament is, we must get together after the tournament and have a good drink! For the sake of our friendship! ”

Luzius looked at the little nobleman in front of him, who was not known how many years younger than him, and suddenly had a deep sense of admiration in his heart, which was mysterious and mysterious, and he had never had when facing those so-called big people.

Many years later, Luzius, who was already the Duke of the Empire, would unconsciously secretly rejoice that his feeling at this time was so correct, and how lucky his choice was!

But now of course he didn't know all this, he just looked at Charles with an excited face, and said excitedly: "Okay, let's go drink after the game!" ”
