Reiner thought to himself, I'm really not modest, I was simply saved by my seniors and made a dish, how did I become a son-in-law candidate?

So he immediately read two sentences...... Immediately replied.

"Your Excellency, your daughter, I really don't deserve it, you better ask for another master."

Reiner was still thinking about how to respond more tactfully, when he saw the old man's face change and speak with a little disdain.

"You kid is quite self-aware, of course you are not worthy of my daughter."

"Huh."

Reiner still had a smile on his face, and he was a little scornful in his heart.

This old man is really moody, he doesn't play according to the routine, if it weren't for his magic level is too high, maybe Reiner would think he is a madman, no, even so, this old man's actions are indeed not as steady and logical as other high-level mages, more willful and casual.

"Okay, I'm full, you can go."

The old man finished the last piece of chicken and waved his hand away, driving Reiner away.

"Your Excellency, I still have some questions about magic......

Reiner also wanted to hear the old man's understanding of magic again, he deeply felt that this person's understanding of magic was not ordinary, closer to the essence, just a few questions casually mentioned before had surpassed the research topics of most mages now, if he could be mentioned a few more words, it would be of great benefit.

"Don't say it, don't say it, there are some things that you still don't know how happy you are."

The old man turned into that serious appearance again, and sighed.

"The closer you get to the truth, the more severe the burden the truth puts on you, and there is no difference between omniscient and omnipotent and ignorant and impotent."

Hearing his words, Reiner was a little gloomy.

Even if he is as strong as this old man, his attitude towards the truth is somewhat negative, and he does not know whether it is because of personal experience or other reasons to say such things, but it is always regrettable.

After thinking about it, Reiner still didn't nod along with the other party's words, but spoke.

"Your Excellency, in spite of this, I believe in a word."

His words made the old man raise his head slightly.

"Chaowen said, you can die at night."

Reinar specially used the language of the ancient magic empire to paraphrase this sentence, and his words made the old man's eyes light up, like a match that was lit in the night, but soon, the match quickly burned out, and the old man's eyes darkened again.

"Let's go, those guys probably won't dare to attack you again anytime soon."

The old man said, gesturing to Reiner's pocket.

"If you figure out what I asked you earlier, come to me with that coin."

"How ...... this?"

Reiner wanted to ask what to do with this coin, which didn't seem to have anything special, when he saw the old man wave his hand, and the scenery in his field of vision changed suddenly, and when he was normal again, he was already in a secluded street.

"This is a genuine summon that comes and goes, is this how high-level mages do whatever they want......

Reiner looked around, the night was already dark, the street lamps were lit, and the crescent moon had risen.

He walked out of the alley, questioned passers-by, and learned that this was still in the city of Olmster, Reiner immediately called a rental carriage, hesitated for a moment, and rushed to the place he had agreed with Claire first.

Reiner expected Claire to order a mountain of food and throw Reiner a long bill, but when he arrived at the building in the center of the city, he saw Claire standing by the pillar at the door.

She stood thoughtfully, standing in place, the pedestrians around her coming and going, and in the city lights, the girl looked even more lonely.

Claire pinched the hem of her skirt and bit her lower lip, and she was a little haggard under the light.

Reiner looked at Claire like this, and suddenly felt something in his heart be touched, and he stepped forward.

Claire's gaze was still on the ground, and she suddenly saw a pair of familiar shoes appear in front of her, and she looked up, which was exactly the person she was waiting for.

"I thought you ......"

Claire's voice was a little hoarse, and she could see her red eyes, and her lilac eyes were moist and seemed to ripple, and she wiped the tears that were about to drip with the back of her hand, and looked at Reiner carefully to make sure he was not hurt.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Reiner said sincerely, gently touching Claire's head.

"I—I'm not going to let you go so easily, you have to make it up to me!"

Claire looked away, the crimson color took over her cheeks, very cute.

"What compensation do you want?"

Reiner didn't tease Claire either, but asked along with her.

"Uh...... I、I'm going to eat hot pot, and barbecue, crab, lobster, scallops, squid, steak, cod, grilled chicken, sausage, ......"

She said a flurry of food without pause, and seemed to have been brewing for a long time, until she finished speaking, and Claire puffed out her cheeks and glared at Reiner.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

Reiner smiled slightly, and he looked at Claire, which made the girl's face blush again, and her two hands kept playing with the corners of her clothes, showing her shyness and shyness.

"It's a cunning ......"

Claire whispered, but her face was clearly happy.

......

Time went a little earlier, just after Ampekos was knocked away by a blow.

He rose from the rubble, as if an invisible hand was removing the rubble from his body, and Ampekos stood up as if he were being held up and stood on the ground.

"This power is too strong, if it weren't for my special ability, I'm afraid I would have been beaten into a meatloaf a long time ago."

Ampekos moved his joints, made a creaking sound, and said with palpitations.

"Who was that just now? Could it be that the Magical Guild is arranged in Reiner. An ambush on Ian Gray's side? ”

Ampekos had not been aware of the other party's intrusion beforehand, and with that out-of-spec blow, there was no doubt that the old man should be a high-level mage.

"Reiner. Ian Gray had already anticipated that we would make a move on him, so laid it all out? ”

He could only think of this possibility, since Reiner killed a member of the Chaos Serpent, the possibility of them organizing revenge was very high, so he simply arranged it in advance and waited until the Chaos Serpent's people took the bait, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Magic Association to find a high-level mage alone to take care of Reiner throughout the process.

"I thought he was a prey that ran into a trap, but I didn't expect him to be the hunter."

Ampekos sneered, and soon, he sensed a powerful aura approaching here.

"Are there any more chasers...... It seems that in the short term, it is better not to make a move on this person, and I have to inform Raven that this area is no longer suitable for staying for a long time, and it is time to leave. ”

He muttered to himself, then disappeared into the shadows.

Shortly after Ampekos vanished, a figure descended from the sky and fell to the ground.

He looked around and saw obvious signs of battle, but no trace of Reiner.

"What's going on? The information for the Hohenheim Gold Cup does come from here. ”

Stretching out his hand, he slightly sensed the traces of magic near this area, and his originally calm expression suddenly became solemn.

"This magic reaction...... Did he show up? ”

The high-ranking mage pondered for a long time before he raised his head.

"In any case, Reiner must be found first. Ian Gray confirmed the situation, his breath seemed to be cut off by something, but there were traces of it. ”

He waved his sleeve and left.
