Gaudus arrives at the Sunset Tavern.

No matter what world you are in, there are the most alcoholics. When the society is stable and the economy is prosperous, people will drink a cup after work and enjoy a small taste. When the society is in turmoil and the economy is in recession, people will fill a few bottles after resting, and they will not get drunk and go home.

Taverns, always thriving.

The Sunset Tavern is the largest tavern in the city of Turin, where all kinds of mercenaries, thieves, adventurers and even wanted criminals gather, leaving everything behind and having a good time. And when they get drunk, they often unconsciously leak some news.

Therefore, Gaudus came to this crowded place, a well-informed place, in order to find out the follow-up news of Belia.

At this time, under the watchful eyes of a group of small citizens, a young man dressed as a servant poured a large glass of silver rum, drunkenly asked, "Hehe, what do you think?" You self-righteous guys think it's a bad old man who can't even lift a sword? ”

A rosacea-nosed man put down his beer glass heavily, and asked in a confused look, "Isn't it?" You look at his gray beard and hair, I bet he's at least 60 years old! ”

"Oh, I'm the earl's servant, do you know better than I do? You're only right, he's 60 years old, but do you know what's going on? ”

"What happened?"

"Nightmare! It rode on the Nightmare! ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, the reputation of the nightmare was well known to everyone in Turin City, and they didn't know how many horse thieves had died under its mouth, including even a level 30 thief!

"That old fellow, he's a real warrior! He rode on that unruly evil horse and held out for 3 hours! ”

3 hours!

The rosacea man poured another glass of dark beer and sneered: "I admit that I underestimated him, but if he can last for 3 hours, he is indeed an extraordinary man." But I guess, he's dead, right?! ”

"Hehehehehe," the young servant shook his head, "and I disappointed you, two and a half hours later, the man who was as tough as kraft candy kept smashing Nightmare's head with his fist, and Nightmare couldn't shake him off with all his might, and after another half an hour, it was knocked out alive by the man!" ”

…

Earl's Court, Horse Farm.

Don Quixote lay on Nightmare's back, panting, sweat and dust pouring out like mud through the cracks in his armor.

He jumped off his horse, shifted his steps, walked up to the count, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, my dear earl, I wounded your mount. ”

The old earl shook his head with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, this guy has nightmare blood in his body, no matter how serious the injury is, it will definitely heal in 1 to 24 hours." Hehe, when I was young, I was the same as you, I was able to subdue it, but the whole process took 5 hours! You're so old that you can do what I could have done when I was younger... Hehe, haha, hahaha..."

Don Quixote bowed his head slightly and said, "You have an overreputation." ”

"Anyway, now you're its master." The Count waved his hand, and said to the horsemen; "Tidy up the horse farm."

The servants looked at the masteon meadow, which had been ravaged beyond recognition by the nightmare, as if it had experienced an earthquake, and wanted to cry without tears.

After the show, everyone returned to the chamber.

When the old count returned to his seat, Belia took his hand and whispered, "Can you let that uncle stay with me?" ”

"What? Do you like him? The Count asked with a smile.

"No... Because you can't play with me often, father, and that uncle looks like you in armor..."

The count's smile froze. He was silent for a long time, nodded, and said, "I'm sorry, my little princess." ”

He rested for a while, then said to Don Quixote: "From now on, you will be responsible for keeping the princess safe!" My knight, can you do it? ”

Don Quixote put one hand on his chest and replied, "At your service, my beloved earl." ”

The Earl nodded, and then said, "Second Viscount McQueen, from now on, you are in charge of the affairs of the East City Gate. ”

McGinn bowed and said, "Yes." ”

When he heard this order, Matthew suddenly coughed lightly.

As the eldest son of the old count, Matthew has always had great power, among them, the affairs of the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Turin City are controlled by him alone, and the affairs of the east city gate are particularly important, because out of the east city gate, you can go directly to the Turin Plain and the Turin Forest, if you control the east city gate, it is equivalent to indirectly controlling these two rich places.

But now, no matter how unwilling he is to hand over the power in his hands, he must also carry out orders. Because Belia was able to sneak out of Turin City and reach the Turin Forest unimpeded, this is of course because Matthew is getting in the way, but Matthew's dereliction of duty at the East Gate and his failure to find Belia in time is also a very important reason.

From the old earl's point of view, of course, it was.

The old earl continued: "Now that the truth has been revealed, then, from now on, Caesar's title, fiefdom and official position will be restored. Also..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made some important decision, and added, "In addition, Viscount Caesar reported to the first team of the Praetorian Guard and assumed the position of the first captain of the Praetorian Guard. ”

The butler replied, "Yes, Lord Count." ”

Caesar calmly knelt down on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, and said, "Lord Count Xie." ”

After he had finished speaking, he stood up, bowed his head slightly, and the hair on his ears fell gently, covering his cheeks and hiding the imperceptible smile on his face.

Matthew, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes in some pain.

Caesar... He... He actually gained military power......

The last thing he wanted to see finally happened.

……

Sunset Tavern.

Gaudus couldn't help but smile after listening to the young manservant's boasting.

Don Quixote this guy... I really didn't mistake him.

And at this time, he suddenly heard a prompt:

[You've completed your mission: Miss Lori.] 】

When he saw this prompt, Gaudus breathed a long sigh of relief.

He took a beer, dropped a few copper coins, and left the Sunset Tavern.

He was again in the elegant attic... Turin Branch of the Mage's Guild.

Then, I came to the door of the fat mage Stephen.

Before he could knock on the door, he heard Stephen's voice screaming:

"Oh my God, it's wonderful, the wilderness... You're simply... You're simply..."

Gaudus thought it was funny, so he didn't knock on the door again, but pushed it open.

The door opened, and Stephen saw Gados, his obsessive expression instantly frozen, and the chubby little hand that was about to slam on the table also stopped in mid-air.

He was a little annoyed and said, "Hell, why are you showing up at this time?" Oh my God, don't you know you should knock on the door before you enter? ”

Gaudos pointed to the door and said, "Your voice can be heard from the corner of the stairs." ”

Stephen listened, and his expression became very exciting again. He scratched his head frantically and frowned, "Damn, I should have thought of it a long time ago, I should have installed a soundproof array on the door... By the way, didn't you tell me that you wanted to be an array mage? That first piece should be a soundproof array, and it must be installed at the door of this room! ”

"Yes, yes... By the way, Mr. Stephen, I guess we should get down to business, right? ”

Stephen wondered, "Seriously? What's the matter? Is there anything more important than reading the original manuscript of the Flood Land? ”

Gaudus was completely speechless... This damn fat man, he can remember that he wants to become an array mage, and he can forget that he promised to teach himself the lessons of earth elemental lv1-lv4......

As if remembering something, Stephen smiled awkwardly, handed him a book, and said, "I almost forgot... Well, now, the course begins. ”
