When Alan walked out of Kers' house, it was dusk. Seeing Elvis waiting impatiently, he thought of Felicia and Kelly meeting for dinner, and walked towards the cafeteria.

I don't know if it was because he lied to Kerry, or because of the unpredictable words that Fox said in the end, Alan was listless and couldn't raise any interest until he ate, no matter how Elvis and Kelly quarreled over there, or in the face of Felicia's concern, Alan coped with a few words, didn't say much, and after eating a few bites, Alan walked out alone.

At the Knight Academy, Arman is throwing a tantrum at his younger brother.

"Waste, this little thing can't be done, what do you say this time is foolproof, Lao Tzu asked you to find someone to repair those boys from the magic academy, but I didn't expect to humiliate the family in the end, this is not counted, and I was caught by the patrol! What a rice bucket!" Arman's forehead was bruised, and he kicked down the stool next to him.

"Matthews, you deal with this matter, don't let those people confess Lao Tzu, as for what to do, you decide for yourself, don't let me down again. ”

"Boss, this time the matter was arranged by Ollie, and it didn't go through my hands, so don't worry, it shouldn't involve us. Don't be so angry first, who knows how these boys are so lucky, they didn't die in the mouth of the night leopard last time, but this time an old man appeared out of nowhere, and he was a hindrance, otherwise these people would have been cleaned up. ”

Matthews was not tall, but he was also sharp-toothed, and a few words calmed Arman's emotions.

"Matthews, you know that I have always treated you as a brother, and I didn't mean to blame you just now, but these boys from the Academy of Magic can save the day every time, and I am really a little unhappy. ”

Arman patted Matthews on the shoulder as he spoke, and the expression on his face quickly changed, and continued:

"Are there any other moves on them lately?"

"I just heard that our two academies may have a joint competition in the near future, and I think those people will definitely participate in that time, and then we will find an opportunity to get rid of them. ”

"This is a good opportunity for both academies to participate, you should immediately inquire about the time, place, and content of the game, we had better prepare in advance, they can save the day twice, and they are also a little capable, this time we can't be careless, we have to plan well in the future." ”

On the street on the west side of the magic academy, Alan was walking, his head echoing the words of the teacher to him, magic would not be restrained.

Magic can't be restrained, but isn't the magic condensed in the magic crystal just binding, and without such restraint, how can it instantly release powerful power? Obviously, this is a contradiction, and the more Alan can't figure it out, the more this sentence echoes in his head, and before he knows it, he actually walked to the door of the West Street Tavern.

Alan hesitated a little and walked in.

Today, the business of the West Street Tavern is not very good, and only the customers are scattered inside. When the boss David saw Alan coming, he waved Alan over and greeted him warmly:

"Alan, did you come by yourself, what about your friends?"

"Boss, I walked here by myself, and I didn't have a partner with me. ”

"Oh, it seems that you have something on your mind, come on, come on, sit down and have a drink with me, and forget about all his troubles!"

"Boss, what happened in the tavern yesterday didn't affect your business. Alan glanced at the few guests in the tavern, a little dazed.

"Why, you haven't broken anything here, but Alan, when can you teach my brothers your barbecue skills, so that I can improve the food of the guests and increase my profits, haha!"

Seeing this, Alan also poured a large sip of muller, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"No problem, boss, but I have one condition. ”

"What conditions? Let's hear what weird ideas you kid has. ”

"Not really, it's just that I'd love to learn how to play bagpipes with you. Alan glanced at the bagpipes in the corner of the bar, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Hahaha, so that's the case, then we make a deal! I can't imagine that young people are also interested in this thing, speaking of which, this bagpipe is also when I was young, accompanied me to the north and south, today you want to learn, then I will give it to you. With that, David got up and picked up the bagpipes and placed them in front of Alan.

"No, no, boss, how can this work, how can I accept such a valuable gift from you, it has been with you for so long, it should be very emotional. ”

"You're wrong, Alan. Nowadays, I can no longer make this bagpipe play the most ethereal and beautiful sound. The sound of bagpipes is free, just like the heart of you young people, it should be unrestrained. ”

"Thank you, boss, and I'm going to ask you more about how to play bagpipes. ”

"Hahaha, I like young people like you, refreshing, I hope you can inherit the free will in the bagpipes, and don't let the beautiful sound be constrained. David took another big sip of muller, and then said:

"Alan, there is one thing I have to remind you of, what happened in the tavern yesterday, the patrol team has already investigated the results, and I have learned a little, and it is definitely not an accident that the gang of men in black came to me to find fault and make trouble. ”

Alan's expression changed and he looked at David in astonishment, wanting to hear him continue.

"I also have a few friends in the patrol squad and have some sources. Those three people are not adventurers on Capra Mountain at all, they are three ruffians who make a living by abducting and deceiving and blocking roads in the imperial capital, and they usually wander in the south of the city, and rarely come to the north of the city. Today, under the torture of the patrol, one of them told the truth. They took the money and came specifically for you. David looked up at Allen with sharp eyes, wanting to see how the lad reacted to this.

When Alan heard this, he thought deeply for a while, as if he had guessed something.

"Go on, boss, the patrol team must have found something. ”

David seemed to be satisfied with Allen's composure, nodded and continued:

"Originally, there were some clues, according to the man with the scar on his face, the person who gave them money to do this was an old man with a southern accent, judging from his words and deeds, he didn't look like an ordinary person, more like a housekeeper of a southern family or something. But when the patrol found out here, there were no clues, first, they couldn't find the person with a southern accent, and second, there was a force to prevent them from continuing the investigation, and even the man in gray who confessed changed his story later, saying that he had never admitted anything. If the matter is not resolved like this, the patrol team will detain them for a few more days at most on the charge of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and the people behind the scenes may not be able to find out. ”
