"What's going on, Douglas?" Followed by the four servants, a blonde aristocratic man named Terkes slowly walked between Finn and the dark-haired mountain man, first looking sideways at Finn with his hands behind his back, and then at the man he called Douglas.

Seeing Telx's arrival, a wave of surprise flashed on the face of the mountain man named Douglas, and he immediately reported: "My lord, I-"

However, in the next second, Telx looked down at the birdcage that rolled between Finn and Douglas, smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to stop Douglas and said, "Okay, needless to say, I can probably see it." ”

As he spoke, he looked up and shifted his gaze away from the birdcage on the shop floor, scanning Finn, the shopkeeper, Lilith, and Leah in turn, finally resting on Leah's face.

"Yo, Leah, long time no see, I didn't expect you to return to the north again." With a gentle expression, Telx beckoned to Leah.

The blonde man's actions immediately caught the attention of Finn and the shopkeeper. Sensing that the tense hostility had been lifted from the eyes of the mountain man named Douglas, Finn immediately put down the blunt silver sword in his hand and turned his head to look at Leah.

Leah tilted her head to look at Finn, hesitated for a second, and then turned to Tarks, "Good morning, Lord Tarks, it's a great honor to meet you again in this place." ”

"Lord Tarkess?" Hearing Leah call herself, Telx seemed dissatisfied, "What's wrong, Leah?" It's been a long time since you've seen you, except that you look a little taller and become a paladin of the Church, and you're so indifferent that you don't even want to recognize your own brother? ”

"Brother?" Finn was surprised, and immediately turned his gaze from Leah to Terks, but found that the hair color of the two was very different, and their appearance did not resemble much, not like brothers born from their mother's womb by inheriting the same bloodline.

Finn's heart was a little puzzled, and Telx seemed to see his confusion at this time, so he turned around with a smile and said to everyone: "Introduce myself, I am Lord Terkes of Orlan, Telx Kai Alfred, serving Lord Conlotte of Golantia as the tax collector of this region. If you are not a nobleman with a higher rank than my title, you should call me Lord Tarks. ”

"And Mr. Tarches, and what is this gentleman?" The shopkeeper glanced sideways at Leah and couldn't help but ask.

"Leah Kay Alfred." Telx raised his hand and pointed at Leah, smug at the latter's identity, "This Leah Holy Warrior is my younger brother, six years and four months younger than me. Although he was an illegitimate child, the tolerant Alfred family still recognized him as a member of the family, but deprived him of all the inheritance rights that he should have in the family, and made him swear to leave the church to become such a priesthood. Am I right, Leah? ”

“…… You're right, brother. After being pointed out by Telkes' full name, Leah lowered her head and was silent for a while, then turned to look at Finn and Lilith, "Sorry, Finn, Lilith, although we are companions, this matter is my personal privacy, please forgive me for not telling you all the time." ”

"It doesn't matter." Finn didn't mean to blame Leah at all, but was slightly surprised when he learned Leah's identity, "So, this Leah's brother, you-"

"Follow the laws of the kingdom." Telx immediately interrupted Finn, "Even if you're Leah's friend, you should call me Lord Tarks, unless your title is higher than mine, Paladin." ”

"So, Master Tarks." Finn didn't bother with this little detail, so he changed his title as he meant, "Master Tarks, this subordinate of yours seems to have acted very inappropriately just now, do you have anything to defend against this?" ”

"I apologize to you for the offense of my servant, Mr. Paladin, for whom Douglas is a countryman from the mountains of Lasvergne, and whose conduct has not yet been completely detached from his backward local customs." Telkes instructed the mountain man named Douglas to step aside, then bowed to Fein with a gesture and looked at Leah with interest, "But then again, aside from collecting shiny things, I didn't expect you to be interested in these peculiar critters lately, Leah." Why, did you want to buy this owl in the first place? ”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, glanced at Finn and Lilith again, and lifted his hand to lift the fluffy cloak that was draped over his shoulders a little, revealing a badge on the side of his shirt.

Finn's eyes widened as he glanced at the badge that Telx wore on his chest, noticing that it was in the shape of a silver rose, flanked by a pair of wing-like ivy, and the center of the badge was engraved with the heraldic pattern of a wizard's hat.

It was in the royal capital of Perades, where the Wizarding Instructor of the Violet King Wizarding Academy awarded the graduation badge to the wizarding apprentices!

He suddenly secretly screamed in his heart. Judging from the graduation wizard badge on Telkes' chest, if the other party is really a professional spellcaster who graduated from the Violet King Wizarding Academy, then Telx must know what the fledgling of the [Eye of the Storm] looks like, what characteristics it has, and how much it should actually be worth.

If Telx had already seen the true identity of the fat owl named Pol in the birdcage the moment he looked down from the ground before, then as long as Telx had the heart to tell the truth that the shopkeeper did not yet know, Finn would naturally not be able to pick up this big bargain for the price of five gold coins of cabbage.

Thinking of this, Fein guessed that when Terkes was outside the store, he probably sensed the faint floating magic from the owl like Lilith, so he called Douglas to rush over first, trying to seize the opportunity, but unexpectedly met his own group.

He felt that Telx might have the idea of competing with him, so he immediately calmed down and considered the stakes, and after a little hesitation, he looked at Lilith beside him, and said sorry to the black-haired warlock girl, and then looked at Telx and said, "If Lord Telx has already taken a fancy to this owl, then it is only natural that we, as foreign travelers, should make such a concession to you."
