Located in an alley on the west side of the Knight Academy, the owner of the West Street Bar is named David, who is said to have been a mercenary who traveled from south to north because of his penchant for drinking, and would delve into local specialties wherever he went. After middle age, he began to do business in Boulder City, which is considered an old business, relying on various wine production methods collected on the mainland over the years, business has been good, but the façade is not very luxurious, due to the enthusiasm of the boss and the purity of the wine, it is the favorite of many adventurers who do not have high requirements for the environment. Alan and Elvis, who were still studying at the Academy of Magic, often came here for a few drinks and talked to the boss, who had traveled all over the continent and knew a little bit about everything, so he could pick up a couple of sentences on any topic. Later, Alan left Boulder, leaving Elvis to sneak here occasionally for a few drinks.

In addition to Alan and Elvis, other students of the Academy of Magic also frequented the bar, which had not been broken for more than ten years, until the Yuss coup at the end of last year, when this routine was broken. Since that day, not a single student from the Academy of Magic has come. The boss specially asked someone to inquire about the reason why those students did not come, it turned out that after the coup d'état, the imperial court sealed the magic academy in the name of the dean's rebellion, but it did not make it too difficult for the teachers and students among them, but just put them under house arrest in the magic academy, watched by the guards, and strictly forbidden to leave.

Not only were the students of the Magic Academy affected by the coup, but since the beginning of this year, the people in and out of the Boulder City have also been strictly checked, except for those famous families who have their own family seals, unless they can get the pass issued by the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, no one can pass freely at the gate of the city, and the handling of the pass is extremely strict, and everyone in the ordinary people must go to the place designated by the Ministry of the Interior to handle it, and each pass has a specific code. Mercenaries and adventurers are not eligible for passes, so they can't enter Boulder City at all. Without these three major customer sources, the business of the West Street Bar became very deserted, and only two or three nearby neighbors drank in the bar for a whole afternoon, and when it was time for dinner, several of the neighbors also went home, and finally only the owner and his buddies leaned against the bar and chatted without saying a word.

"Boss, if this continues, I'm afraid our bar will go out of business. ”

Seeing that business is declining, the guy is a little worried.

"What's the matter? You think my business here is not good and you want to change jobs?"

The boss took off the cigarette pouch from his mouth, put it on the side of the bar and knocked it, he used to smoke paper eyes, the habit of smoking a pouch was just developed by him this year, maybe it was his age, he always felt that paper cigarettes were less than cigarette pouches, as for what it was, he couldn't figure it out.

"Don't get me wrong, boss, I'm worried about you, and I have no intention of changing jobs. ”

The guy quickly explained.

"Don't worry, it's fine after this time. ”

The boss pretended to be relaxed and said, in fact, he knew in his heart that this time would only be a long time.

"I heard them say that the current emperor is worried that the eldest prince will come back to grab the throne, so he has been under martial law on Boulder City, and if the eldest prince is not caught for a day, this martial law will not be lifted. ”

The guy told the boss some of the gossip he had heard from the guests.

"What do you know as a little kid?"

The boss's expression became stern, and he criticized:

"Remember, don't go out and talk nonsense. This is politics, and it won't end well for anyone to get involved, especially people like you and me, who may not even know how they died, understand?"

"Understood! I promise not to talk nonsense. ”

The young man turned pale with fright by the boss's harshly reprimand, and nodded his head again and again.

"Today we close early, you go and close the store. ”

The boss's face softened, and he commanded the man.

The man agreed, walked to the door and pushed the door to close the door, but just as there was only a narrow gap left in the door, suddenly a hand came in from the outside.

"Wait!"

A middle-aged man's voice shouted outside.

"We're closed. ”

The guy responded.

"I want to see the boss. ”

The people out there are still holding on.

"The owner has rested. ”

The guy turned his head to look at the boss behind the bar, and when he saw that he was glaring at him, he immediately understood.

"It's okay, you go and tell your boss that a friend of one of his magician's friends has an urgent matter to find him. ”

The people outside said that a series of friends confused the guy and didn't understand what he meant. However, when he looked back, he found that the boss was staring out with a strange expression.

"Boss?"

The guy made a lip gesture and wanted to ask what to do with something like this next.

"Let him in and you can go. ”

As the boss instructed, the man opened the door wider, and then went back to rest first, when behind him a man in a black robe squeezed in through the crack in the door.

"You're the boss David here?"

"Who are you?"

The boss greeted him and asked.

"I am Earl Richard's man, and Lord Earl has sent me over to take your friend away this time. ”

"Earl Richard?"

"You go talk to your magician friend's friend, and he understands. Also, this is a handwritten letter from Richard to a friend of your magician friend, take it. ”

The boss hadn't heard of Richard's name, but he knew who his magician's friend's friend was, so he took the letter and turned around and left the antechamber and went to the backyard.

"Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk, tuk..."

The boss came to the door of a room in the backyard where the miscellaneous items were kept, and knocked rhythmically on the door.

"Come in!"

An old voice came from inside the house, and the boss pushed the door in.

The room was very spacious, but there was no clutter, but there was a desk and bookshelves against the wall, and the shelves were full of all kinds of books, and a few open books were placed on the table. There was a gray-haired old man sitting at the desk, reading a book carefully, until the boss David walked in, he raised his head and glanced at it, and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"A man claiming to be Earl Richard has come out and wants to see you. ”

"What!?"

The old man stood up in surprise, and it was only then that he could see that he was very tall.

"Any proof?"

"He has brought a letter from Earl Richard and asked me to pass it on to you. ”

The boss handed the lacquered letter to the old man.

"You wait!"

The old man took it and looked at the cover, then turned around and came to the wall, and pushed the bookshelf hard, and the bookshelf moved away, revealing a tunnel behind it. After walking down the tunnel and walking about twenty steps, a huge basement suddenly opened up in front of me. In the middle of the stone room was a long table, and at the head of the table was a young man of about thirty, holding a red wine glass with wine in his hand, tasting the taste, but from his tightly furrowed brow, it could be seen that he was not in a happy mood, and even a little depressed.

"Your Highness, Earl Richard has finally replied. ”

The white-haired old man walked up to the young man and handed the letter into the young man's hands.

In Yous, there is only one person who can be called His Royal Highness, and that is Lawrence, the eldest prince who has been missing for most of the year, so the white-haired old man is naturally the old magician Fama Ux, who disappeared with him, it turns out that they have not fled far at all, and have been hiding in the West Street Bar close to the Academy of Magic.

The old magician originally rode the Earth Guardian Magic Array to carry the Great Prince out of the Earth Guardian Magic Shield of the Academy of Magic, although his Earth Guardian Magic Array can have built-in levitation techniques, but after all, it is not Allen's flying magic array, and it cannot support long-distance flights, so as soon as the old magician left the Academy of Magic, he took advantage of the fact that the pursuers did not catch up, and he let the magic array continue to fly towards the outside of the city in the north to attract the pursuers, and he himself took the Great Prince and landed directly in the West Street Bar.

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is, the old magician's logic is very simple, and it works, no one suspects that they are still hiding in the imperial capital, all the searches are outside the imperial capital, first in the north and then in the south, but this also brings some problems, the prince has not been found, and the emperor always suspects that his ministers and the prince have colluded, so the emperor is blocked, the city gate and the city wall are searched very strictly, and the portraits of two people are posted everywhere, and it is difficult for two people to escape.
