"Lord, do you know him?"

"I don't ...... Wait, it seems like you've seen it somewhere? ”

A middle-aged man in a fancy costume ran up to the two of them almost in a row, his chubby face stained with sweat, and his two small eyes were almost squeezed by the fat of his face.

At this time, the face was full of smiles, and the eyes were full of flattery; It's just that the fear and panic that went deep into the bone marrow couldn't be concealed - he didn't even have the courage to look at the master and servant.

Only then did Richard realize that the other party's appearance seemed a little familiar.

Ever since he became a legendary wizard, he hasn't forgotten things, and there's a little universal magic called "Memory Aura" that works very well.

He thought about it for a moment and realized that it had been met during the fireside meeting in the Magic Tower.

The first "colleague" Richard met was Evelyn Illiktra, and the two once went downstairs to the banquet hall for a brief turn, when the leader of the noble delegation from the Rhine Kingdom was this fat man.

...... I see, no wonder the other party can recognize him.

Although for Richard, such insignificant figures have long been forgotten; But for this person, his impression in his mind is probably still that of the indifferent and ruthless leader of the Demon Tower.

"This is your territory?"

The black-robed wizard asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's not, it's from a friend of mine."

He shook his head like a rattle.

"After I left the delegation, the lord of the city here...... Well, I mean, my friend, though not the canonized lord of the kingdom, is a confidant of the Earl of Glenn stationed on the southeastern frontier, and is the earl's representative of the Earl's dominion in Silent Ridge, so it's not a violation of the law - he invited me to be a guest. I couldn't be invited for a while, so I came over......"

Thinking about it, it is true that if you can get the leading position in that new southern aristocratic delegation, you will definitely not be a small nobleman on the border.

"Lord Rasputin, my friend is not strict, and this is a wild place, please allow me to express my apologies for any offense......"

"Oh, you know what's going on here?"

Joan on the side said with a smile.

Although the fat nobleman could also tell that there was a female knight under the hood—he was not as bold as the orc soldier; Or rather, "lack of brains" - he didn't even dare to raise his eyes.

Naturally, he didn't know the true identity of Joan Borgia, otherwise he would really be scared; But even if the other party is just a guard of "Raspuchin", or even a role such as a maid, he can't afford to mess with it.

With the hand that this lady had just revealed: a single blow that split the entire kilometer of the street in half, her level as an extraordinary person was at least the level of a knight leader; Even if their own group of guards were combined, it was impossible for them to withstand such an astonishing sword.

"Yes, dear lady."

The fat nobleman nodded and replied respectfully.

"I heard from a friend that this town is inhabited by a group of orcs, who have fled from the north, and he relented and took them here, but he didn't expect them to be a bunch of scoundrels......"

Those orcs were wearing standard armor that belonged to humans, and they were not like ordinary outcasts, and their status in this town was probably very high.

Even if the orcs can't stimulate their bloodline abilities, their physique is still stronger than that of ordinary adult human males, and they are the most reliable fighters when the lord is not able to recruit powerful and extraordinary.

Although it is not as good as the black knight who does not protect this fat nobleman, in a lawless area like Saggs Town, there is a team of orcs, which is enough for the "Lord Lord" to show off his might in front of everyone.

"So, what about the friend you're talking about?"

The expression on the nobleman's face suddenly became more stiff.

"He, he's very unlucky, just gave birth to a serious illness a few days ago, and is now resting at home. That's why you're asking me to take care of the matter......"

Obviously sick but still entertaining guests? There will be such inconsistencies, but it is conceivable that it is just a lie. That guy just saw that the strength shown by the two outsiders was completely beyond imagination, and it was not at all something that a small border mayor could handle, so he hid and didn't dare to come out.

However, the fat man in front of him, as a nobleman whose status is far higher than that of the other party, is still willing to stand up for his friend, and until now, he has not even said the name of the mayor, which seems to be quite righteous.

Although Richard knows very well that this kind of "righteousness" has a bottom line, and there is no need to do anything, if he continues to threaten his mouth, this fat man may even be able to tell the color of his friend's underwear.

……

The adventurer from the civilian background met the ruffian hooligan bullying the beautiful girl, the road was uneven and drew a knife to help, and then found out the local country nobles who did evil to punish them, at this time the rescued girl revealed her identity, it turned out to be a descendant of a fallen nobleman, she promised the adventurer with her body, and the two lived happily ever after...... Stories like this are always told by bards.

However, Richard doesn't have this spare time now, he just wants to find his students.

"What's your name?"

"I, I'm Hubert Aceell......"

The female knight let out an "oh" from the side.

"You've heard of him?"

"Yes. His elder brother was the Lord Keeper of the Seals of the Rhine Kingdom, and he had a bit of status among a group of waste nobles...... You know, it's the kind of level where if I accidentally kill it, I'll have to write a letter of apology to the king myself. ”

"I see."

The fat aristocrat shut up and stood there trembling, listening to the conversation between the master and servant in a cold sweat.

"According to you, you can completely control this place, don't you?"

Richard turned his gaze to Hubert.

"Yes, yes......"

"Good." The black-robed wizard bowed slightly, "Give me an order to seal off this entire town, and no one is allowed to go out." Then search the town for all those who have ties to the wizard and bring them to me...... In this small place, there shouldn't be many people like that, right? ”

Richard didn't expect a group of mortal soldiers or adventurers to be able to stop a master spell from escaping, but it was impossible for him to escape from his palm as long as he had the opportunity to expose his feet.

"Excuse me, why are you here......"

Hubert asked cautiously.

"There's a very cunning wizard who has escaped here. He's a dark wizard who specializes in curses and plagues," Richard casually gave a black hat to the unknown enemy who couldn't even say if it existed, "and if it wasn't dealt with in time, it could displace the entire border of the Rhine Kingdom." “

The fat nobleman was once again frightened and trembled,

"I see!"

After saying that, he looked like he was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, Joan suddenly interjected on the side.

"Why, aren't you going to welcome us in?"

“...... When, of course! ”

Hubert cried and mourned, with an expression that wanted to slap himself twice.

"I'll take them to the best hotel in town......"

"Why don't you go to the mayor's house?"

The knight smiled and raised her graceful chin.

"Well, that's the place."

"There......"

The fat nobleman had a very embarrassed expression. This surprised Richard, who didn't expect him to have the courage to hesitate at such a time......

"Why, is there something I can't see?"

The black-robed wizard deliberately lowered his voice.

"Of course not!"

Schubert spinelessly relented. His small eyes twitched, and he looked around vigilantly before lowering his voice and whispering to the black-robed wizard and the female knight.

- "It's just that Queen Mary is ...... now Just live there. ”
