The Holy New Year is approaching, and the people of the small town of Palaya are jubilant and counting the harvest and surplus of the year, and merchants from the big cities bring all kinds of goods and food here.

The morning in the town is undoubtedly busy, and many people are talking about the vigilance incident in the town yesterday evening. When they heard that a young warlock had come to the town and was trying to find a way to cure the mayor's lovely daughter, many people were extremely curious.

Rumor has it that the Governor had encountered an Assassin in the mayor's mansion yesterday, and that Mr. Warlock had resisted and seriously wounded the attacker, and the guards set out overnight to hunt down the fugitive around the town.

Various versions are scattered in the middle of the town's situation, and Alan is unwittingly rumored to be divine.

The mayor's mansion was also filled with joy, and with the help of Mr. Warlock, the petrification effect on Miss Shirley's arm had completely receded, and it was already dawn, but the little girl hugged the sheets tightly, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, which made people unbearable to disturb.

Eren didn't rest all night and encountered another thrilling battle, and the system prompted Eren to gain 300 experience points, Palaya Town Fame +500, and skill points +2. It proves that Miss Shirley is no longer in serious trouble.

With a satisfied smile, the boy took the initiative to leave Shirley's room. Grenor followed behind Allen and asked about Shirley's condition. When he learned that Shirley was sure that he was okay, the great father finally had a smile on his face.

The mayor's restaurant was already full of delicacies. The food prepared for Eren last night was not moved, but now it has all been replaced with new ones. Deer milk, goat's milk, thin cheese, rye bread, sliced meat, tomato lettuce, a large cup of coffee, hash browns, roast goose, sliced smoked sausages, croissants, cheese, and a full table.

At the dinner table, Alan and Greno sat together.

"I'm sorry, but I used the knight's saber last night." There were only two people in the restaurant, Alan began.

Greno waved his hand: "Weapons, only used for fighting, will not be wasted, in fact, Mr. Allen does not have to be reluctant because of this, on the contrary, Grenor is very amazing, Mr. is so young, he can actually use Grenor's long sword weighing eight catties, which is really rare among spellcasters." ”

Alan said with a smile: "At that time, the situation was very critical, even if you couldn't take it, you could only resist it, after all, it was still important to live." Alan hid his wild heart, after all, there are still many indistinguishable involvements behind this.

In Allen's opinion, Greno is a trustworthy friend and a good mayor, and because of Shirley's existence, Alan knows that he will definitely have many intersections with this middle-aged knight in the future, and there are some things that he will definitely tell him.

When Grenor heard Allen say this, he laughed and didn't ask more.

However, after a night of tossing, Alan now has no food in his stomach, and in the face of a table of delicacies, Alan is not polite, chewing croissants and eating them with cheese and sausages.

As a knight, Grenor usually eats a lot, and seeing Allen's speed of chewing food, he was curious, and he couldn't imagine that this skinny and small Mr. Warlock still had such a good appetite.

Alan noticed Grenor's gaze, took a sip of deer milk, and said, "I don't know why, but I found that I had become a big eater lately, which made Mr. Mayor Mare. ”

When Grenor heard this, his face was full of smiles, if he put aside the identity of Allen's spellcaster, in fact, the young man in front of him was only the same age as his daughter. The child's maturity, intelligence, and commitment were admirable, and it was a pleasure for Greno to be able to dine with Alan.

"Mr. Allen, can you tell me how you got into trouble with the orcs in the first place?" At breakfast, Grenor asked.

Alan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "In a village north of the Skader Mountains, I met a group of wolf-headed orcs who were robbing a village, and I couldn't help but make a move, but I didn't expect to be hunted down. “

"That's how I got those giant wolf mounts, and there are some similarities between the dark elf assassins and orcs in the night, so Alan judged that there must be a connection between the two."

Grenor only asked the orcs, but Alan himself spoke of the dark elves. First of all, the argument was settled.

In his previous game career, Alan had saved countless villages, and now that he was in a panic, it was not even a gold paste on his face, and Alan had no obstacles in his heart.

Grenor nodded, but his heart was beating fast. It happened in his study, and when Grenor found out about it last night, he didn't come first, but to his daughter Shirley's room. What happened to Shirley before made the middle-aged knight nervous.

Now that the sheriff and others who went to search for the whereabouts of the assassin have not yet turned around, at the dinner table, the two gradually shifted the topic to the characters they cared about, Grenor's Shirley, and Allen's Nina.

"Mr. Grenor, I noticed that Miss Shirley has several scars on her body, the origin is not simple, I don't know what happened?" Alan asked.

Grenor had kept this in mind, and when Alan asked, Mr. Mare said, "This happened in the forest, when Shirley was returning from the Golden City, and was attacked on the way, and the servants and guards at that time were basically killed. “

"There was only one loyal warrior who escorted Shirley back to town, but unfortunately that warrior died in the end, Shirley was unconscious, and Grenor still didn't know the specific situation, which is really ashamed."

Alan listened carefully and roughly understood the situation. The scars on Shirley's arms, apparently from petrified skeletons. The Petrified Skeleton is a class of Death Knight of the Fourth Plane of the Abyss, with a level of at least 10 or above, and the average town guard soldier is powerless to resist.

Skeletons are undead classes that are difficult to destroy unless the soul fire within their skulls is destroyed, and will eventually respawn in the "Land of Resurrection".

In a way, warlocks with soul extraction skills are the nemesis of skeleton monsters, and when the Death Knight occupied the north, many powerful warlocks came here to fight against the things of death.

Petrified skeletons are usually carried in the resurrection land, lying in the land with extremely heavy yin qi to cultivate bones and improve cultivation.

Some skeletons even learned to meditate and became skeleton mages.

After Shirley was attacked, Grenor had sent someone to investigate the matter, but Alan knew that the current resurrection place was still in the abyss plane, and had not yet descended to the north, and once it disappeared, its whereabouts became a mystery, how could Grenor find out.

Grenor mentions Shirley's return from the City of Gold to the town of Palaya, and Alan knows something about it.

During the long time they spent together in their previous lives, Shirley was very dependent on Alan, even if it was such a thing as buying a new dress, she would happily talk to Alan, and Alan knew that Shirley had learned spells in the Golden City when she was young, and this age was the best time for her to learn spells.

"I'll follow up on this." "It's not that simple. ”

Greno was impressed by Alan's words: "In a short period of time, there have been two attacks in the small town of Palaya, and to be honest, Mr. Allen, when he heard the movement last night, he thought that someone was trying to harm Shirley. ”

Shortly after Shirley was attacked, the mayor's mansion was changed, and if it were Eren, the two attacks would also be linked. Of course, Alan would not have thought that Shirley had also been attacked, and at this time, the plane invaders were still in the incubation period, so what made the Death Knight's subordinates take the initiative to attack a mage apprentice?

Seeing that Alan had a thoughtful look on his face, Grenor said again: "It seems that many people in the mage academy where Shirley is located have been attacked, and the small town of Palaya has sent people to the mage academy for help many times, but there has been no news. “

Well? Alan was stunned again, it seems that the attacker behind him is targeting Shirley's mage academy, not a single apprentice, so what is the purpose of the other party, according to the cautious character of the death knight Victor, what kind of plan is it to make such a big move in the critical period before the arrival?

There are a lot of clues before the great change comes, Alan was deeply involved in the south back then, and he didn't know much about the changes in the north, Alan silently took this matter to heart, and when the time is right, he must find out.

The two of them arrived at Shirley's room.

"You've figured out that the problem of skeleton attacks isn't easy."

"Got a new mission."

Mission confirmed: Investigate the Skeleton Attack.

Rewards: 3,000 XP points and 500 increased reputation. Obtain a skill book.

Failure Penalty: 3000 XP deducted, 100 reputation deducted. Gain a special curse.

Alan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the system would release the task at this time, the skeleton monster incident, which was originally going to be followed up, and now the system is following up, which can be regarded as a big help. At the very least, it will always remind Alan that he still has something to do and will not run out of direction.

At this time, the warm and bright sun has shone into the house. Alan stood at the door and saw that the lovely Shirley girl had woken up. Shirley sat on her bed, as if she had just woken up not long ago, hugged her knees, pressed her beautiful face against the quilt, heard the door opening, looked at the door with doubts.

"Father!" Shirley saw the middle-aged knight walking in front of Allen, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.

But for some reason, Shirley felt as if she had slept for a long time, and when she woke up, she looked at the room in a daze for a while, but she couldn't remember what had happened.

Seeing that his daughter had woken up and was safe and sound, Greno felt a pang of comfort in his heart. Shirley is the pearl of Grenor's palm, looking at her daughter's smile, the middle-aged knight is very happy.

Soon, Shirley's gaze caught a glimpse of the teenager behind her father.

This young man has fair skin, dark hair, slightly long bangs slightly covering his eyes, wearing a thin robe, holding a broken and stitched staff in his hand, between his delicate eyebrows, with a wise look, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Miss Shirley's heart pounded suddenly.

"This person, why do you look at me like this!" Shirley's face heated up all at once.

Why, his eyes feel very familiar.

That's a caring look!

Shirley lowered her knees and smiled at Alan, for some reason all of a sudden, the little girl got back into the bed, closed her eyes tightly, her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a cute expression on the corner of her mouth, as if to tell her father and the young spellcaster, I haven't woken up yet, no!

Alan has red eyes for no reason, it's been a long time, and you're still like this, dear Nina!
