Men should be more open-minded. Sitting on the spare ration, Marin gave a definition for today's banquet - the old men always felt that it was better to be famous than to meet, so let's meet. To be honest, for the nobles of the Sidney Union and the Duchy of Farol, Marin, who thinks he still has the right to speak, feels that they can still get along - whether it is judging the situation or being able to stretch and bend, these nobles are far more flexible than Marin imagined.

It is true that they will be indifferent to the life and death of a mortal, but they cherish their lives very much, and they will not hesitate to choose the former in the face of face-losing apologies and murderous intent.

Without a second of hesitation, the determination was moving.

Of course, this is also related to Marin, who has watched it for so many years, pretending to slap his face or something, has always been the plot he is most looking forward to, but it's a pity that Sidney and Farol are usually very faceless.

"That old man is the mentor of the local mage tower, a high-level nine-ring mage." Cross asked about the old man's identity through the relationship of the mage tower.

"You see, a nine-ring mage deigned to come over to help someone inspect the goods, what reason do I have to refuse them." Marin smiled at the girls in the carriage.

"My dear, you are now the darling of the Lord of Justice, the co-owner of the World Tree, be proud, at least don't give too much face to the Mage Tower." Although Faye is a mage, she is not a member of the Mage Tower, and she herself is not interested in the Mage Tower.

"At least until this old man shows his state of non-cultivation, we should still respect the old man." Marin said as he maneuvered the spare grain to pass a wagon.

One of the boys poked his head out of the carriage: "Hey, little ghost, how do you sell this bear." ”

Marin pulled out a bloody roar from the void and raised it a little lazily.

"Good brother! When I didn't say! The boy quickly retracted his head back into the carriage.

The girls burst into laughter.

Marin noticed that the kid poked out the carriage window again: "How about we make friends!" ”

Marlin smiled, "My name is Marin, Marlin of Fort Carter, are you sure we're going to be friends." ”

"You'll be my Coulson's big brother from now on!" The kid shouted, and then retracted his head into the car very quickly, probably urging the coachman's relationship, and the carriage increased its speed significantly.

Marin turned around and manipulated the spare grain to follow the carriage: "Honey, you see, even the young nobles you meet on the road are so sensible, what else is there to worry about. ”

"I think it was the axe in your hand that taught him what it means to be gentle and elegant, but I still have to say that it is well done." Lilim leaned on the car window and looked at Marin, "Mr. Marin." ”

"Well, how to say it."

"I think Mr. Marin is more handsome now, and Mr. Marin is not so cute when he grows up." Lilim laughed a little nymphomaniac.

Marin shook his head: "No, it's not that it's not so cute, when people grow up, there will be a lot of expressions on their faces, which is different from the simple smile of children, there are sorrows, bitterness, sadness, anger, many people say that this is because life is bitter, and I think this is called a sense of social responsibility, because people grow up, enter the society, and experience a lot of things that they have not experienced before as children, so there will be so many expressions." ”

"Really......" Lilim thought for a moment.

"Yes, of course, the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and they realize what society is like earlier, life never shows a smile in front of them, and in their eyes, the world is harsh." Marin continued to sigh: "Some people say that the children of the nobility are the same, but in fact it is not the same, when the children of the nobility are receiving swordsmanship training, the children of the poor are fighting for food in the mud, every minute and every second, the gap between the two sides is widening, have you ever thought about what role they can play in this war when such two children grow up, when the tide of death comes." ”

His girls fell silent.

"So, cuteness sometimes really can't be eaten, but I don't mind being cute in front of you." After Marin finished speaking, he gave the girls a sweet smile.

"Mr. Marin always says a lot of puzzling things." Jessica was the first to speak - well, Marlin didn't care about that, this wolf girl was a natural warrior, and it didn't matter if her head didn't work.

"yes, I didn't understand anything, I thought I was stupid." Lilim pursed the corners of her lips.

"We understood, but we were even more unhappy." Cross and Faye sighed in unison.

Matilda sighed: "Mr. Marin said this, I heard my father say it when I was very young......"

Lilim and Jessica then looked at Maya, "Maya, what about you. ”

"I see." Maya looked up with a little pride.

"You understand what!" The little lamb showed her horns.

"I know that no one will think I'm stupid if I don't say it." Maya gave herself a petrified skin.

"Girls, you have dismantled the carriage and you will have to walk back." Looking at the girls frolicking in the carriage, Marin smiled and shook his head.

Forget it, let's let them make trouble, the good times of youth, don't live up to it.

………………

As the gateway to Naples, Pozzuoli has the bustling atmosphere of a big city, and although the streets are a little smaller, both the shops and the guilds have beautiful facades.

Handing over the sorted manuscript to a team of knights sent by the Sage Guild to receive the manuscript, Marin was a little surprised that there were two paladins among them, and after explaining, he learned that for safety, the Sage of Constantine specially asked the Church of Justice to send someone to help, for fear that there would be any loss of the manuscript handed over by Marin.

After the handover was complete, Marlin said goodbye to everyone, and one of the large paladins walked in front of Marin and nodded to him: "Matilda, please leave it to you, Mr. Marin." ”

Marin nodded immediately, then watched them leave, and then turned his head to look at Matilda: "This is ......" "My father's colleague, Lord Modim, is a very powerful paladin. Matilda blushed slightly: "I thought he was still in the north." ”

"I guess I'm back for vacation." Jessica said.

"Paladins never take a vacation, and there are still too many sins in this world to slow down." Matilda said proudly.

Marin froze for a moment as she crossed her hips, and then frantically flipped the pouch around her waist.

"Your bag is broken." Maya opened the gap in Matilda's bag.

"Although the breach is uneven, you can still see the traces of Qi Che, which is the mouth of the thief, and it is a good hand." Jessica was a sword player after all, and she confirmed the problem at a glance.

Marin thought for a moment - he had just been in contact with the Sage Guild, and the girls should not be far away, but the Sage Guild usually uses the hall with the Adventurer's Guild, so it is certain that there are many people, and this thief can pull Matilda's bag in public, and he is also a brave person.

"I've got to catch this thief!" Matilda was angry that her purse was missing after all.

"By the way, I'm curious as to why thieves would do their hand at Matilda, she doesn't seem to have the most oil and water among us." Cross analyzed rationally.

"There are three thieves who don't steal, among which the mage is the chief, and you and Faye are wearing mage dresses, so naturally they will not be the target of this one; My hands are full of sword cocoons, and with the strength of this one, it is impossible not to notice; Lilim looks like the daughter of a big family, and the thief won't trouble him, and Maya ...... I don't think the thief really has the courage to go after her. ”

Marin turned her head to look at Maya, and saw that the girl immediately turned her head, and then smiled.

"I'm a paladin!" Matilda was furious.

"You didn't wear a paladin's uniform today, I know you were trying not to make trouble for Mr. Marin, after all, this is south of Farol." Jessica smiled and comforted, "Forget about this time." ”

"Why?" Matilda didn't understand.

"Because the knife is very good, I can't cut out such a broken incision, although it has something to do with the dagger in his hand, but it can pull a hole in your little bag without any of us noticing, my personal advice is to make it a trivial matter."

“…… That's right, we're away from home now, and there's no need to mess with a shadow thief master. Matilda thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to accept the facts: "But what does Mr. Marin think?" ”

"It's a real headache to catch a thief hiding in the crowd, I agree with the idea of calming things down, but if we're lucky enough to have him, we'll beat him up......" Marin said as he saw the hand in the crowd reaching for his waist: "Hey! That guy! ”

The bitter lord turned his head, and all the contents of his bag fell out.

The middle-aged man who started to do it turned around and ran, and then before he could run two steps, he was thrown to the ground by the guards who rushed over from the side, and then there was a rush of time.

Then, Matilda's purse returned, and the bitter lord thanked Marin, and the head of the guild also came forward to thank Marin.

"You have a lot of thieves here." Marin said with a smile, and then noticed that this one had an embarrassed face.

After leaving the guild, Jessica smiled and explained to Marin - in fact, it is not that there are many thieves in Pozzuoli, but that there are thieves' guilds everywhere, and the guilds formed by these thieves belong to the gray area, such as in Carterburg, the thieves' guild sometimes acts as the eyes and ears of the town hall, and similarly, the town hall will also give these thieves certain exemptions.

As for why Marin didn't feel the presence of thieves.

Because of the three don't steal, the mage doesn't steal, the nobles don't steal, and the clergy don't steal.

"So, Mr. Marin, why don't you show your sacrificial badge, lest some people go astray." Jessica makes a summary of her explanation, which makes Marlin a little impressed by the wolf girl.

"You're right." Marin nodded, then smiled at the unkind-looking crowd on the corner and pulled out his red-robed sacrifice badge.

Matilda pulled out the paladin badge.

The gentleman's original fierce expression turned into a flattering smile, and he walked up to Marin with the middle-aged man: "I'm sorry, honorable Miss Paladin and Your Excellency, please forgive my little brother." ”

Marin glanced at the patched clothes on the leader and his men, and although he didn't know if it was their overalls, he relented: "With this skill, why not do something bigger." ”

"I, we don't have the guts to rob." The middle-aged man had clearly misunderstood something.

The leader understood people, he shook his hand and gave the middle-aged man an ear scraper, and then when he looked at Marin, his face was more sad: "No one needs our loyalty, Your Excellency. ”

“…… I remember it as Naples' gateway to the north, right? ”

"Yes, besides, if you go from Lesina in the east, you have to make a big detour, and the road is not good, and there is no steam train." The leader said, "The caravans will choose to pass by us, because there are cavalry patrolling the road. ”

"So that's what happens to people, you have to learn to grasp it, not wait for it." After sighing at the girls, Marin took out his wallet and gave them two hundred-dollar Movis: "From this month onwards, you will have a backstage, this is a deposit, you keep a record of the daily entry and exit of the Pozzuoli caravan and suspicious teams, and I will let my people receive you every month." ”

"Well, your Excellency......" the leader stopped.

"Do you think I'll give less money, or do you think the sword in the hand of the young lady behind me is not sharp enough?" Marin pulled down his face.

"No, it's not, there's already someone over there who has taken over there, and our people will be recognized in the past." The chief's explanation made Marin curious: "Who is it?" ”

"It's the Neapolitan Brotherhood, and we're just lonely ghosts they don't look down upon." The leader replied with some embarrassment.

"This little brother next to you is not like a lonely ghost that no one wants, what is his origin." Jessica pressed her hand to the holster.

Marin glanced at the middle-aged man, who smiled awkwardly, lit his palm towards Marin and took it back.

Sonofbuqu, the man of Pulsatilla.

Marin scolded secretly, then pressed his hand on the holster, looking at the leader, he was thinking about how to help the middle-aged man kill him.

"I don't know, but I know what I am." As the leader spoke, he quickly drew an emblem gesture on his chest, which Marin didn't recognize, and Cross leaned over and used a spell to transmit: "The Church of the Night Goddess is true, if it is a heretic or a pretender, it is impossible to draw such a correct gesture completely." ”

Marin has a hundred completely different swear words to say.

It was not easy to calm down, Marin shook his head: "I gave people money and guns, how about you set that team on fire, and they were killed in the night and thrown into the sea, and they were all gone." Marin thought to himself, this is all right, since you two are sunken fish, Marin has to think about anything, of course he believes them.

As for the fire and the other party, the other party is obviously not a good man and a woman, and he was killed and pulled down.

"This ......" the leader was still thinking when a halfling came over from the crowd and raised his hands: "My God, Condom, I never knew we were together. ”

"Are you ......," Marlin looked at him.

"Hello, Your Excellency, I'm Condom's business-stealing peer." The halfling smiled flatteringly at Marin: "It's also an informant for Lord Pulsatilla." ”

The guy then pulled out the identification that was supposedly given to him by Pulsatilla.

Looking at the sign in the guy's hand and the circle under his feet that proved the truth of his topic, Marin took a deep breath: "...... Forget it, I'll give you this money to drink tea, and the people who told you, don't do anything to my girl again, and don't have a long eye to kill and bury it. ”

The three of them hurriedly thanked them, and at the same time repeatedly promised that no one would come to steal the girls' wallets, and if there were, they would definitely give Marin an explanation.

After dealing with this matter, Marin took the girls back to the station - this city is really hard to visit, it is better to go back and rest.

Then when passing through the station platform, Marin saw a cub asking for food, went over and gave the kid a 1 coin, and looked around: "It doesn't look like someone is controlling it." ”

"No one is looking at us." Jessica said as she took out her wallet and gave her a coin.

"Well, looking at his clothes, it seems that he is not the same as the locals." Faye observed, giving a coin as well.

"Let's go buy something to fill your stomach." Maya gave two coins.

Matilda took out her purse and gave the child five coins: "Go to the Church of Justice, they will take you in." ”

Cross gave two coins: "You were lucky to meet us today, but remember, there is no future for nothing." ”

Eventually, it was Lilim's turn, and the lamb touched her little satchel and came up with a question: "My wallet is missing." ”

Marlin turned his head to look at Lilim: "The bag is not broken?" ”

"It's not broken." Jessica went over and checked and gave an answer.

"I was there when I was in the guild." Lilim frowned: "By the way, when I just walked back, I fell behind in order to tie my shoes, and when I got up, I bumped into a child who was about the same height, and he said sorry to me......"

Lilim thought for a moment: "It's weird, I can't remember his face. ”

"It should be a harmless illusion that makes the person who sees his face lose his memory of facial features." Cross immediately made a judgment, and Faye added: "There are also traces of illusion in the words of this thief, and Lilim has been hinted at and forgotten what he looks like. ”

"It seems that this is a real master, and those who draw the bag are all under the number of paths, and this method is the safest, he can even attack the noble lady, a bold and careful guy." Jessica made a judgment: "Such a person can't be a single crime, I think we should ask the halfling for an explanation." ”

"That's right, the local brotherhood looks like it's going to give me an explanation." Marin laughed angrily.

Some people really have enough of their heads around their necks.
