"Me? Speaking of which, I actually know this Baron Pagain. After all, Odingnam is such a small place, as an alchemist, it is inevitable to deal with nobles, and Pagain, as the largest nobleman within a radius of a hundred miles, of course I will not refuse to sell him something. Julia replied to Lilian.

Hearing Yulia say that she actually knew this baron, Lilian couldn't help but wonder: "Then what kind of person is he?" I want to know as much about the 'enemy' as possible. ”

"Well, how to put it, I don't think Baron Pagain is our enemy. Pagain is more of a 'new aristocracy' than the rigid and serious old aristocrats, and his ability to accept new things is far greater than that of the old conformists. I forgot to mention that he is still very young, probably in his early thirties. ”

But having said that, he is still a mature, rigorous, and traditional aristocratic person. The virtues of a nobleman are as much as his learning, and after a few encounters I have not even found any obvious shortcomings in him as a person. You know, after all, aristocrats, there will always be some 'problems'...... Well, I'm saying that Lillian, you're not going to be angry. ”

"Of course not, after all, I know all too well about those things between nobles, and you are quite right. It is not uncommon for nobles to be upright and kind, and to have good virtues, and I have seen the same ...... It's just that in this world of cannibalism, heh, I never believe that there is any good person who is rewarded. Especially for the aristocracy. Hearing Yulia's evaluation, Lilian's expression was a little indifferent, and she seemed to remember some bad memories.

Indeed, Lilian's words were not biased. From the essence of the birth of this world, we can see certain unshakable "laws" hidden in the darkness. The survival of the fittest and natural selection of all things in nature have been staged in every corner of this continent all the time from ancient times to the present.

It can be said that the Protoss, as the biggest winner after the 10,000-year God War, dominates this world, and the Terrans, as a vassal of the Protoss, has the largest number of groups and has received the greatest "reward" besides the gods.

As for human beings in the mortal world, human beings can have "soul qualities" that are even more indescribable than gods, and perhaps the "greed" trait alone is the most "outstanding" of all the wisdom species. The so-called White Religion Bible has explained that if human nature can see its color, the abyss cannot reach its blackness, and the only thing that dispelles the darkness is the holy fire......

The aristocracy is a small elite who stand at the top of the pyramid during the evolution of the human group for thousands of years. The birth of nobility depended on nothing else but the trampling of the bones of most of the rest of its kind.

Therefore, when it comes to the cluster of aristocracy, there have been some out-of-the-way "forbidden books" that denounce them as cruel and cunning predatory creatures, hotbeds of unforgivable sins, weavers of human tragedy and suffering, and creators of war disasters and destruction...... Although the rhetoric is excessive, it does not echo the voices of the poorest and the most enslaved masses at the bottom of the pyramid for thousands of years.

"So, do you think the enemy I'm going to target this time is a 'good guy'? If he's your friend and still does something he shouldn't, then I'll have to keep him as dead as I can. Orlan looked at the atmosphere between the two of them and seemed a little dull, so he had to continue to speak.

"Oh, Oran, can I think you're really joking this time? How could I be friends with this baron. On the contrary, don't you think that it is the people who seem 'perfect' like him to feel more and more unreal? Or are you jealous when you hear that I know Pagain and praise him a lot? Originally, Yulia was a little angry when she heard Orlan say this, but the "question" in the second half of her showed that she seemed to be a little inexplicably happy?

Even Lilian was interested, and looked at Orlan as if she was waiting for his answer. At this point, an inexplicable "intuition" belonging to the hunter told him that saying "yes" or "no" would have unpredictable consequences.

God is pitiful, it's clear that Orlan just wants to liven up the atmosphere like a normal person, but it doesn't seem to be the right way, is there something wrong?

"Vinegar? Isn't it found in the kitchen or in your alchemy room? Oran's answer was ambiguous.

The two of them seemed to have long understood that they couldn't wait for this piece of wood to say any normal answers, so they didn't embarrass him anymore. In other words, don't think that Orlan is a mountain savage and suspect that he doesn't understand any common sense, after all, he is a man who can recite the "imperial authoritative works" that he has read upside down in minutes......

Just like the meaning of the phrase "jealous", Oran understood the meaning of "sad with jealousy", and he also knew that the origin of the word was a story about the relationship between a certain imperial grand duke and his wife. I don't know, anyway, there is such an explanation in the "Sea of Common Words" compiled by the Imperial Great Library.

"Hey, Oran, if you don't believe it, just take your sword and trouble the baron. Maybe there will be a good story about an ordinary boy who is not afraid of power and wants to challenge a big nobleman with a title for his beloved girl! Yulia patted the wooden crate under their seats, where they were loaded with their weapons and equipment.

"But what if Pagain doesn't give Orlan this chance? He directly ordered his guards to surround Oran, saying that Oran was an assassin who wanted to assassinate him, and that it would be time to see who would tell the story of this 'silly boy'. Ahem, I may have to get Orlan out then. Lillian answered with a smile.

"Well, if you are also trapped by then, I think the only one who can save you in the end is me, the great alchemist, after all, there is no difficulty that cannot be solved by one bottle of alchemy potion, if there is, then use two bottles." Julia's answer caught Lilian off guard.

"Hey, what the hell is the alchemy potion, can your alchemy create magic in addition to potions and concoctions? But you're not a mage. ”

"Alchemy potion is of course the unique creation of me, a great alchemist, and it may be the only one in this world. When the time comes, I want to open your eyes, but it's nothing worse than magic! "Not to be outdone, Yulia is not to be outdone.

"Ahem! I think we're almost there. Orlan couldn't figure out why the two men had somehow started to fight each other.

Fortunately, the speed of the carriage has gradually slowed down, and it seems that it has entered the territory of Pagain Castle. Through the shutters, you can see a castle towering above a cliff, and a winding mountain road stretches to its feet.

Although the size of this castle is probably only a medium-sized castle, it is also majestic at the top of the mountains and in the jungle.
