The conversation from behind softened the expression on Morris's face a lot, he didn't expect that this weak half-elf ranger would divert Sophia's attention so quickly, and his eyes were suddenly full of gratitude. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, I said." The halfling grabbed the reins and asked Maurice, "Have you robbed the robbers' Lady of the Stronghold?" ”

"How could we possibly do something that boring." Morris was annoyed, and every time the halfling spoke to him, he couldn't resist the urge to press him to the ground and bury him alive.

"But they're coming for you." Ignoring Morris's gritted teeth, Philip's face showed a rare seriousness.

"How do you know?"

"I heard their conversation, the red-haired woman, there was no one else but her." Pointing to the back, Philip still looked ahead, as if it wasn't him who was speaking, "But I don't know why." ”

"I don't know why." There was silence for a moment, and Morris's voice became a little heavy.

"Oh, really?" Rolling his eyes silently, Philip glanced at Morris, who was frowning and contemplative, and did not speak again.

The rain stopped, the dawn sun was particularly dazzling, and the town of White River, built on the banks of the Akon River, welcomed a group of embarrassed travelers.

Although Sophia likes to talk to Ryan, a peer, the two families are a little conflicted after all, and a noble girl and a teenager stay in the same carriage for a long time, it is really easy to make people think, and at Maurice's insistence, the group finally separated in the town.

To Ryan's surprise, Philip actually returned the carriage to Sophia, looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared from sight, Ryan was very puzzled and looked at the halfling.

"I know what you're thinking." Philip yawned and took out a bulging money bag from his bosom that he couldn't hold with one hand, "Although I am not a decent gentleman, I have to leave a way for others to live." ”

"You stole all their money?" Ryan didn't notice that his voice was a little out of tune due to surprise.

"Of course not."

While Ryan was relieved, Philip's next words almost choked him to death: "I just put all the gold coins on all the other wagons together, and when they come to me, I'll hand them back myself." ”

Well done, at least it didn't give those robbers a sweet taste. Finally finding a convincing reason, Ryan gave Philip a thumbs up.

It is much easier to have money, although the town of Baihe is not large, but although the sparrows are small, the group quickly purchased a new carriage and a few sturdy horses. After a hearty meal, everyone stepped into the border of Sambia in high spirits.

Sambia is a capitalist country, and businessmen dominate most of the country's discourse. As a country that connects the north and the south of the sea, although the commercial influence of Sambia on Ariel is not outstanding, the control of commerce over Sambia is surprisingly strong, and the power of wealth here even exceeds the power of the king.

Most of the people who haunt the towns of Sambia are not locals, but more opportunity seekers from abroad, so the land is full of scams and traps, and almost everyone is wary of strangers. At the same time, the clusters of storefronts and bustling neighborhoods bury the filth beneath the surface like fallen leaves in the woodland.

Sambia is also a land of freedom, dwarves, gnomes, orcs... You can find almost all the common races in the surface world here. There is one exception, elves.

The reason why the elves were ostracized by Sambia dates back to the early days of the founding of the country, and the current capital, Audulin, was once the land loved by the elves of the valley, as the closest city in the valley to the sea of falling stars, it was affectionately called the Valley of the Moon by the elves.

However, a group of aggressive pirates traveled north from the southeast coast to occupy this beautiful woodland, and in order to show their might, they transformed the woodland into a bustling city to match. It is precisely because of this that hatred has caused many elves to wander around the periphery of Odulin, persistently looking for opportunities to set foot on Odulin and rebuild Moon Valley!

Aldurin is a symbol of Sambia's strength, standing at the gates of the city, the towering and heavy walls seem to have no bounds, giving people the illusion of being discouraged. The area of the city-state is also far larger than that of Horn Creek City, and the main road is crowded with people, all the way to the tallest and most solemn complex in the center, the Sambia Palace!

"Let's rest here for a while." Philip was not the first time he had been here, and despite the bustling scene around him, he quickly came to the door of a tavern, opened the curtain, and said to Ryan, who was looking around in surprise from inside the carriage.

"Huh? Oh. Ryan's emotion was interrupted by a voice in his ear, and the latter hurriedly followed Philip's footsteps out of the carriage.

Although Ryan had gained some idea of how prosperous O'Dullin was during his previous conversation with Sophia, witnessing it in person still made it difficult for him to calm down his excitement.

Filled with fantasy-style buildings and humanoid creatures with different appearances, everything seems so real that it is far from what you can experience in the game.

The Nightingale's Words, this is a remote tavern that Philip and his party found around the corner of Audelin. There were only a handful of guests chatting in the tavern, and Ryan and the others didn't react even when they walked in, as if they were just a cloud of air.

The quiet scene was in stark contrast to the outside, and Ryan couldn't react for a while. Philip was familiar with it and walked to the bar with a grin: "Long time no see, Willie." ”

"Ah, look who's coming." The waiter, who was wiping his glass, glanced at the halfling, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Isn't this Philip?" You seem to have grown a little taller, so you should have had a good time in the middle of summer, right? ”

"Didn't Jerome remind you not to mention my height?" Although there seemed to be some signs of anger in his tone, Philip still had the same indifferent attitude on his face, "What about that old bastard?" He's not going to skip work again, right? ”

Placing the shiny glass in front of Philip, Willy poured him ale as he spoke, "The holidays are over, the students are on their way back, and the teachers don't have time to work here right now." ”

"Work? It's obviously lazy! Gully poured a large sip of ale, and Philip clearly had a good opinion of Willy.

Laughing without saying a word, Willy did not entangle with Philip on this topic, his dark blue eyes moved lightly, and he rested on the half-elf who followed behind him: "So, is there something you have come here for something?" ”

"I'm going to take him to Castle Bright Star, the sooner the better."

Seeing the halfling suddenly become serious, Willy once again focused his attention on him, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Ryan knew what he was thinking, and learned from his conversation with Sophia that Shining Star Fort was founded by elves and humans three hundred years ago, and because of its location just north of Oddurin near the border of the Vale, and its great strength, not only did the royal family of Sambia give it free power, but the idea of racial coexistence became a buffer zone of hatred between the valley and Sambia.

Castle Shine is strictly a territory, surrounded by a large number of free people, but the academy built on the hillside is not accessible to idlers. Outsiders can only cross the spell barrier if they are recognized or invited.

As for Philip, although he used to have a relationship with Shining Star Castle, but now in order to avoid suspicion, he has long cut off contact with the academy for more than ten years. The last time Willy saw him, he was an apprentice mage who followed Jerome.

"You know the rules of the academy." With a wry smile, Willy did not give Philip a positive answer.

"If it weren't for the urgency, do you think I'd be back here?" Philip raised his head and drank the ale, and Philip's sharp gaze made a cold sweat gradually appear on Willy's forehead. This thorn is still so arrogant...

"Well, since you've said so." Nodding to the other waiter, Willy let out a long sigh, "There's a batch of materials delivered tomorrow, so you can stay here for the time being." ”

"Haha, you're so much smarter than Jerome! Give me another drink! Raising his glass, Philip didn't care if his shouting would affect the feelings of the other guests.

Well? Willy, who was pouring wine for Philip, glanced at Ryan, who was silently observing him, looked at the scimitar at his waist, and asked Philip, "What is this?" ”

"Ah, my student, Ryan."

"He doesn't look like a mage apprentice." Glancing at Ryan with interest, the smile on Willy's face made the half-elf feel a little furious.

"Isn't this bringing him here to learn how to be a mage?"

"You didn't teach him?" Hearing Philip say this, the expression on Willy's face gradually became a little strange.

Philip raised his wine glass for a moment, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "I'm old, I can't remember what I should forget and what I shouldn't forget, and I'll leave the matter of teaching apprentices to those old bastards." ”

Willie wasn't the kind of mage who stayed at home and didn't care about the world, and he felt that he seemed to bring back bad memories of Philip, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Ryan, "So, you're that bastard of Barnard?" ”

"You know me?" Although he didn't care, Ryan didn't like people to call him that, and his face was also a little unpleasant.

"Kailot's reputation is still very big, plus Mr. Philip, who of you Barnard doesn't know that you Barnard is in the Falling Star Sea?"

"Teacher?" Not wanting the other party to dwell on his family's problems, Ryan glanced at Philip, and his eyes naturally showed surprise.

"Huh? Didn't he tell you? Teacher Philip is a famous presence in Shining Star Castle... ”

"Stinky boy, Lao Tzu is sitting in front of you, so unscrupulous, beware of me tearing your mouth." With a heavy snort, Philip's deep voice was full of threat, but both of them knew that he just didn't want others to mention his past in front of him.

"Okay, I'll shut up." With his fingers crossed in front of his mouth, Willy gave Ryan a helpless look.

"Otherwise, you can tell me about Shining Star Castle." Willy's action made Ryan laugh a little, and seeing that the scene was slightly embarrassing, he quickly changed the topic.

"I'm happy to accompany you."
