"Since you have to go with you, I can allow you to go with you. Garcia said with his head held high.

"That's for the best. ”

"Garcia, the work on the Philins Mountains begins in a month, and you have a month to deal with it, in the meantime find the men you think can solve it, and then set off. Charles instructed, thought for a while, and reminded him, "You can go to the Knights to find someone, or take the Adventurers' Guild recruitment, as long as the money is enough, there will always be someone who accepts your commission." ”

It's not an absolutely correct suggestion, but it's a way to get started, and Garcia waved his hand and said, "I know, don't bother you, and my solution is something you can't imagine." ”

"Then I'll see. ”

In the tavern, the recruitment notice issued by the royal family naturally became the center of the conversation.

"The notice says that the dragon is whistling, but isn't the dragon long gone, and how do you know that it is the dragon howling?"

"Anyway, it's the voice of some kind of monster, but that mountain range is not inhabited at all, why did the royal family suddenly remember to go there to drive away the demonic beasts. ”

"If you could know, you would be king, our majesty is wise and martial, do you think he has made a wrong decision?"

The discussion in the tavern was disturbed, and it reached the ears of Swain and his party who were drinking and chatting.

"The royal family's list, do you want to pick it up. The young swordsman asked his companion for his opinion, and he was actually eager to give it a try.

"Haha, look at the look in your eyes, it looks like you want to pick up the list. ”

"What's not to do, we've all changed to better equipment for the money this time, and we still have Layla in the team, so we have the ability to challenge it anyway, right? ”

"But I heard it's a dragon. ”

"How can it be a dragon, everyone knows that the dragon is gone. Sven laughed.

"But we did see Xudra last time, didn't we? ”

A partner's voice rang out, and everyone fell silent.

The encounter in Rhine Town, everyone didn't mention it all the way, because it was too terrifying and terrible, and they were also ordered by the group of soldiers not to spread the word, and at this moment, when this partner said it, everyone only felt a chill coming through their bodies.

"That's not an opponent with good equipment. ”

"And we're not at home yet. ”

Hearing everyone around him say this, Swain sighed, nodded, and sat on the ground in fear when he saw Xudra, he couldn't stand up so far away, if there was really a dragon in that deep mountain, I am afraid it would not be an opponent they could deal with.

"By the way, what about Layla, are you still reading in your room?"

"Probably so. ”

The girl's voice came from behind Swain.

"Swain, I have something to tell you. Ray tugged at Swain's sleeve.

Seeing Layla suddenly appear behind him, Sven was startled, and then his sleeve was gently tugged by the other party, and his heart seemed to be pulled and jumped.

"Oh, okay. ”

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, the group of friends grinned, and Tracese snorted and took a sip of wine.

Layla walked in front, Swain walked behind, what the hell was Layla looking for herself, although she had such and such expectations in her heart, but reason told Swain that these possibilities were too low, and as a man, she had to speak for herself about this kind of thing.

The two of them came to the street outside the tavern, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and under the pergola, Layla turned around and faced Swain with a hesitant expression.

Seeing Layla's hesitant look, Sven just looked at the other party with encouraging eyes, and the other party was talking to him, so it was too rude for him to speak.

Taking a deep breath, Layla finally spoke.

"It's been a pleasure to have an adventure with you, but I'm leaving. Looking into Swain's eyes, Layla said word by word.

"Huh?" The warm spring sun shone on Swain's face, but at the moment he felt like he was in an ice cave, was there something wrong with him, was it because he didn't go with Layla to give the pension that time, or did Layla feel that the bounty was not distributed correctly? Also, the magician should have received more than them, not everyone else.

"Is there anything I can't do wrong? Whether it's a problem with money or a conflict with someone, I'll solve it. Swain said eagerly.

"Well," Layla shook her head, "it's not your problem, it's just that for us magicians, there are things we have to pursue, and now I've found those things, but I can't be with you, so I'm leaving." ”

"We can go with you, we are a group of people who are all over the world, and we go the same everywhere. ”

"It's different, that's the secret of the world, the lifelong pursuit of many magicians, the danger in it is not what you can imagine, you may encounter creatures that are even more dangerous than Xudra, and even get involved in another dimension. Layla explained.

"That's even more ineffective for you to go alone. ”

"It is true that I did not go alone, and the chancellor Bobolini came to me to discuss the matter, and I cannot tell you more details, but my departure has already been decided. Layla said apologetically.

Sven looked at Layla in disbelief, "You also believe the words of those bureaucrats and aristocrats?"

After listening to Swain's rhetorical question, Layla tilted her head and asked puzzledly, "Why can't you believe it, the prime minister is my teacher's friend, there is no reason to lie to me." ”

"These officials are full of lies and deceptions, and they have always tried to find ways to deduct money from us, and if they take a fancy to any good-looking female adventurers, they will lie to them and hide them in the house to play with, the more senior officials are more so, how can you trust each other. ”

"Where did you hear these words? ”

"Everybody says that. ”

"Everyone?" Hearing this, Layla shook her head, "It's just a bias without evidence, and if you think about it,

If they are really full of lies as you say, there is no need for adventurers to spread them privately, and you should hear such words anywhere in this royal capital. ”

"But these high-ranking officials live by squeezing our money and property, this is a fact, you look at the courtyard of their mansion, is that what their money can buy? I don't know how much black money is in it, how can you do things for them, we abandoned the bar, we are all adventures together, partners who have traveled all the way!" Swain took Layla's hand and continued to persuade.

Looking at Sven's expression, Layla shook her head, "The matter of my departure has been decided, and I will resign from you tomorrow, I want to talk to you so that you want to talk to everyone in private, that's all." ”

Shaking off Sven's hand, Layla walked out, Sven caught up reluctantly, and it just so happened that Zhou Lie and Randy came to the tavern at this time, and Layla directly bumped into Zhou Lie's body.

"Oh, who, ah, Layla, I happened to be looking for you. Zhou Lie held Layla's shoulders and said with a smile, "Didn't you tell me to find this place where the loss was fun before, but now I'm looking for you." ”

Seeing that it was Zhou Lie, Layla was also a little surprised, but Sven in the back was jealous when she saw Zhou Lie, and reached out to push Zhou Lie away.

"Huh?" Not quite understanding the other party's actions, Zhou Lie flashed sideways, he remembered that this was Layla's team of adventurer companions, and hurriedly said, "Hey, we've seen it in Rhine Town, have you forgotten? I'm Zhou Lie." ”

"I saw that you were with those soldiers, are you also the one who deceived Layla, and where do you want to trick Layla!"

"Huh?" Failing to understand what the other party meant, Zhou Lie looked at Layla suspiciously, wanting to know what was going on.

"I'm not going to let you take Layla away. ”

"I'm just going to show her around the city, and I'm not going to sell her. Zhou Lie looked at Swain and explained in a sincere and funny tone.

"Who will believe your nonsense. ”

"That's enough for me to believe!" Lei stretched her hand to stop, "Zhou Lie and I have known each other in Oslin for a long time, and he is a trustworthy gentleman. ”

"Haha, have you learned the word gentleman? Hearing Layla's praise of himself, Zhou Lie felt a little ashamed, and he still hid that he was the one who set the fire, and the gentleman's evaluation was too heavy.

And Swain was completely enraged by this statement.

People judge things only in terms of emotion and reason, reason weighs the pros and cons, and emotion is to think completely in the direction he wants, it is obvious that Swain has lost his mind now, and Layla's departure said that he has a good relationship with another man, which makes Sven jealous.

Then a simple conclusion appeared in Swain's heart, as long as he beat this man down, he could prove that he was right, this completely unreasonable idea became Swin's current reason.

So with the sound of metal rubbing, Sven pulled out the long sword at his side and stabbed at Zhou Lie's body.

Pushing Layla away, turning sideways, stepping up, grabbing the opponent's wrist with her right hand, and smashing her left elbow down hard, just hitting Swain's right elbow, directly dislocating his right hand.

"Draw a sword in the street? "Although in the face of an opponent of this level, Zhou Lie can also be merciful like Moran, but now that there are Layla and Randy next to him, or in front of the most chaotic tavern, Zhou Lie doesn't want to make any trouble, so it is a thunderous blow that makes the other party lose his combat power.

The battle ended in an instant, Sven's right hand hung weakly beside him, the long sword fell to the ground, and after being stunned for a second, Sven roared like crazy and rushed towards Zhou Lie.

"Is there an end?"

"Enough!"

Layla roared, reaching out and a blue barrier appeared between the two of them, like a ball of cotton, removing the force of Sven's impact and bouncing him back.

"Why should you believe them, they are all cannibalistic liars!" Swain yelled.

"This is my decision, and I am grateful that you have been willing to travel with me for the past few months, but I am leaving, and you have no reason to stop me. ”

Afterwards, Zhou Lie learned the reason for the quarrel from Layla's mouth, Zhou Lie touched his nose a little innocently, wanted to say something, and finally swallowed those words back.

"If this happens, you won't be able to go back. Zhou Lie asked.

"I've decided to leave them, and there's no such thing as not going back. ”

"But the room you booked is still here, and the luggage is there. ”

"It's okay, they're not that kind of people. Layla knew what Zhou Lie was worried about, and smiled.

"If you're in trouble, I'll help you. ”

"Thanks, but I just want to walk around and relax right now. ”

And Randy, who has finished his mission of leading the way, has now started the task of a tour guide, the streets and alleys of Babylon, all kinds of food and beauty, there is nothing he doesn't know.

Towards dusk, the three of them came to the entrance of the plank road of the cliff.

"But if you want to see the sunrise, you'll have to stay on it all night. Zhou Lie looked at the twisted plank road and frowned.

"Don't bother, you see. Randy pointed to the bottom, where there was a cage-like thing.

"Just stand up and pull the rope, the cage will pull you all up, although it will take a lot of time, but compared to walking that road, it can be said to be much more comfortable, by the way, it was originally for the royal family, but Emperor Charles specially approved His Royal Highness to use it. ”
