Eventually, the three found a nondescript hotel and stayed there. Don Quixote, Gaurdos, and Alice each opened a room.

Don Quixote was indeed a little poor, and he could not even pay for a silver coin a night's lodging, and it was true, if it were not for Gauldos, he would have sold the old horse tonight. Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Gao Duosi took out a gold coin with an expressionless face and said, "The three best private rooms." ”

With Don Quixote's character, he would not easily accept favors from others, but before that, Gaudus and he had already formed a good friendship. He opened his mouth and didn't refuse, but he knew that he owed Gados another favor.

Gaudos came to Alice's room, but did not see her. He thought about it for a while, and went to his room again, and sure enough, Alice was holding a broom, cleaning up the garbage and dust on the floor.

Looking at Alice, who was actively cleaning up the garbage and dirt, Gao Duos was a little moved.

When Alice saw Gados, she immediately put down her broom, wiped the dust off her face, and tried to make herself clean and pretty.

"Hey, I'm cleaning the room, so some..."

Gao Duos walked up to Alice, looked at the gray girl with a gray face, and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”

Alice immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I should do it." ”

"Don't say that, there's nothing you should do, at least that's what you don't have to."

Alice clutched her broom and didn't speak.

"Just now, Mr. Don Ji told you the eight tenets and nine rules of knighthood, have you memorized them?"

"Remembered."

"I also have something to tell you, you must remember."

"What?"

Gaudus took a deep breath and said:

"In this world, there are no rules and creeds to practice with life, you can let them guide your actions, but you can't let them direct your actions."

Alice chewed on Gauldos's words, thoughtful.

"I don't understand it, but I remember it."

Gauldos nodded, and then left the hotel room and went to the streets of Turin.

The streets of Turin are beautiful, flanked by wind and rain trees, which look very delicate, but the slender and low trunks carry a dense canopy, especially now that it is autumn, when the wind and rain are in full bloom.

Wind and rain flowers, the symbol of the Titus family, the first generation of the patriarch of the Titus family was born in the countryside, resolutely joined the army, experienced ten victories and ten defeats in the war, lost 4 fingers, experienced ups and downs, but at the age of 70 was named a hereditary knight and obtained the first fief.

After that, Titus inherited this strong spirit, and his territory continued to expand, and titles were slowly but steadily promoted, knights, barons, viscounts, and finally hereditary counts.

Wind and rain, through the wind and rain, indomitable, proudly blooming, represents the family spirit of Titus: strong.

However, under the cover of wind and rain, it was a depression.

There was no armory, no workshop, no shops, not even a hawker, just the revelers in the tavern venting their excess energy. From time to time, you can see ragged homeless people and beggars haunting the alleys, and there are even many thieves on the streets who are blatantly stealing. Turin is the capital of Savoy, and the law and order is already so bad that when you think of the tragedy in the village of the Virgin, the order in the countryside is probably close to collapse.

It seems that the Titus family, like the city of Turin, is decorated with magnificent walls, but the inside is decaying.

It's a sign of chaos to come, and it means that the Titus... It has already begun to decline.

Gaudus walked down the street, passing a dozen corners and twists and turns, to a tasteful and quiet attic.

This is the Turin branch of the Mage's Guild.

The Mage Guild, as the name suggests, is a loose organization formed by a group of mages, and is a behemoth in the continent of Acacia, with a pivotal position throughout the continent. And the Turin branch is just a small tentacle of this behemoth.

Gaudus entered the attic.

Generally speaking, non-master professionals are not allowed to enter the Mage Guild unless they have acquaintances, so Gao Duos first came to the detection area and released a skeleton guardian magic to prove his identity as a mage.

With the permission of one of the mage's apprentices, Gaudus was allowed to enter the interior of the Turin branch of the Mage's Guild, and an old-looking sorceress dressed in red mage robes appeared before Gauldos. A flame lit up on her thin fingers, and it was clear that it was a fire mage.

"Praise Sid Meier, young mage, welcome to the Turin branch of the Mage's Guild, my name is Irene." The sorceress blew out the flames on her fingertips and greeted Gadoth with a smile.

Gaudus looked at the old woman, she didn't seem to have the impatient temper of the average fire mage, nor the arrogance peculiar to the mage community, and her tone could even be described as gentle, like the kind old women who often appear in fairy tales.

Gao Duos returned the salute and said straight to the point: "Hello, I am Gao Duosi, and I want to join the Mage Guild. ”

"We welcome new members to join, but you need to pass a small test before you can become my partner."

After Erin finished speaking, she pointed to the quest post on the wall, and the first of the first lines, the string of "Destroy the Goblins" was quite eye-catching.

Gaudos skimmed through the mission description, then tore out the mission announcement, the content of the mission was basically the same as he remembered, which gave him a lot of confidence.

Erin smiled and said, "Good luck, young man. ”

You have accepted a mission: to destroy the goblins. 】

[Description: The "Forest of Turin", 100 kilometers from Turin, is inhabited by an unknown number of goblin tribes, constantly infesting the farmstead villages near Turin, and due to the decline of the Savoy Country, they have even removed the patrol force on the outskirts of Turin. All you have to do is destroy those damn goblins. 】

[Quest completion conditions: Kill 100 ordinary goblins, cut off their ears, and bring them back to the Turin branch of the Mage Guild.] 】

[Mission time limit: 10 days.] 】

With the mission notice in hand, Gaudus returned to the hotel. As a cowardly and timid humanoid creature, ordinary goblins are not very outstanding in individual combat power, but their horde characteristics, amazing fecundity, and poor attributes make them one of the most disgusting mobs in the game.

Of course, goblins aren't all waste, and there are all kinds of high-level goblins on top of ordinary goblins, which are tricky troubles.

Fortunately, this quest was completed by cutting off 100 ears of a normal goblin.

Gao Duos decided that tonight, he would completely master the barb flying tooth lv1, and at the same time, spend another day learning to ride lv1.

In Ray. With Field's help, Gaudus spent an afternoon and an evening to successfully advance the learning progress of Barb Flying Tooth to 100%.

[You have mastered the magic "Barb Flying Tooth Lv1."] 】

Gaudus came to a hidden alley, and when he saw that there was no one around, he pointed at a wall and released the barb flying fangs.

Unlike the Bonetooth Spike, the Barb Tooth spell is very short and has only a few spell gestures, which greatly increases the cast speed.

At the tip of Gauldos's fingers, countless miserable white points of light floating with the aura of the undead converged to form three sharp tooth-like barbs, and then shot out rapidly.

The fangs slammed into the wall at a speed no less than the crossbow bolts flying, and then dissipated, accompanied by countless bricks and dust, and three more deep hollows of varying shapes in the place where they were hit.

This kind of power has surpassed the scope of 1 ring magic, and has reached the level of 2 rings, which is comparable to the gunpowder weapons of another world.

In fact, the power is still secondary, the key is that the mana consumed has not increased, with the current state of the mana of Gao Duosi, it is possible to release about 17 barbed flying teeth in a row, if the rhythm of the spell is controlled, and at the same time supplemented by magic potions, this number will be improved.

As for the more critical values such as the maximum range and bleeding effect, they can only be tested in actual combat. After all, this is Turin, and even if you are a magician, you can't be too presumptuous.

It's still night, and Gaudus returns to the hotel and starts running the magic vortex in his body, hoping to raise the "Improved Basic Meditation Lv1" to lv2 as soon as possible, so that his mana status will be further improved.

Soon, a new day was ushered in for Gaudus. Turin is a city with a military color, and the facilities such as horse farms are still indispensable. After all, no matter how hard the people at the bottom live, the enjoyment of the nobles must not be affected, and there will be a market if there is demand. Don't have nostocracy? It doesn't matter, as long as you pay for it, you can also enjoy the treatment of nobility.

After paying 4 gold coins, Gaudus and Don Quixote each led a practice horse and entered the stables as they wished, and were granted 1 month of threshold access. In this way, both herself and Alice can practice riding here in the future.

Don Quixote was indeed a good knight, and he taught him very carefully, starting with the details of holding the reins, then the basic riding posture, giving instructions, and even how to hold the bridle, all with a strict set of rules. And Gados did not disappoint Don Quixote either, and it took a whole day to master the "Riding Lv1".

Of course, you don't have to be able to ride a horse if you have mastered the art of riding, as long as you have a docile mount. However, if you have mastered the advanced riding skills, you can ride a powerful mount and get a big boost in movement speed and agility.

After completing his basic riding training, Gaudus said goodbye to Alice, told her not to waste her swordsmanship and riding training, and asked Don Quixote to take care of the girl, to which Don Quixote readily agreed.

After settling everything in, Gaudus took the old horse he had bought in Sindh and set out on his way to the Forest of Turin.
