Qiao Xiu stopped the magic guide car in front of the Hearthstone Tavern, but this action instantly alerted Shail.

"My mentor... Over here? ”

Shayl turned his head to look at the Hearthstone Tavern on the other side of the street.

Even though Lady Marlena expanded the entire Hearthstone Tavern to the largest size on the street, the façade of the tavern was still so 'shabby'.

The wooden signboard alone doesn't look like a reliable shop.

"Hearthstone Tavern, have you heard of it?"

Qiao Xiu opened the car door and walked directly down from it, came to the other side and helped the king open the car door.

"Hearthstone Tavern?"

The moment Shayl heard the word, some waves appeared on his expression, which had always been cold.

Qiao Xiu read an emotion called 'anticipation' in her eyes.

"I've seen people discuss it on the caster forum."

Shayl stepped out of the magic car, she was not the kind of little girl who would be abducted, as the king of a country, she could not be so timid.

Led by Qiao Xiu, Shayl pushed open the door of the Hearthstone Tavern and stepped inside, the first thing she felt was the smell of ale.

"Dwarven ......"

Shail's eyes looked around the exaggerated tavern, which was overly large, and all eyes could see were casters and dwarves sitting at a table engaged in a hearthstone duel.

Dwarves are an extremely rare race in the Land of Frost, but Nolan can see them everywhere, and most of them are in the tavern.

"They're regulars here." Joshua led Shail towards another part of the Hearthstone Tavern.

"Mentor, is he also playing Hearthstone here?"

Shayl searched among the dwarves who drank ale, laughed from time to time, or yelled at others for being 'god-pumping dogs'.

She came to Nolan for the first purpose of meeting Qiao Xiu, and the second was to find the sage of Nolan to discuss the issue of the Inquisition.

"If you had been here last month, you might have been able to find the Grey Men there, and they should be there now."

Joshua pointed to another area of the Hearthstone Tavern, where there was no Hearthstone machine to play.

Originally, it was intended for guests who came to drink, but now it has been occupied by a group of spellcasters and used to play Go.

Shail's gaze followed the direction Qiao Xiu pointed, and sure enough, he found the mentor in gray who had been absent for three years.

"Mentor?"

Shayl was about to step forward to reveal her identity, and the moment she stepped into the area, she noticed the change in the atmosphere around her, as well as the sage sitting opposite the Gray Man.

The One in Purple.

The expressions of the two sages were as if they were facing a great enemy, and this tense atmosphere was enough to make Shayl believe that there would be a big battle next.

But they were just staring at a wooden board on the table made of dense black and white stones.

"It's terrible." Shayl sighed quietly.

"The Grey and Purple Men have recently become obsessed with a game called Go, which has led to a popularity among a small group of spellcasters as well."

Qiao Xiu pointed to the other spellcasters sitting in this area, and there was almost a Go board on the table playing with their opponents.

"Go?"

Shayl glanced at the chessboard, the rules of Hearthstone Sheal could understand just by listening to the discussions of those in the spellcaster forum, but at first glance she didn't understand what kind of game it was.

"I suggest you better not disturb them at this time, they will end the duel before the afternoon."

Joshua walked over to a Hearthstone-playing machine, one of the few idle machines that no one was playing.

"It's rare to come to Nolan, why don't you relax? At the moment, Hearthstone is only available to Nolan. Qiao Xiu said.

Just relax......

Shail's initial purpose today was indeed to relax, but the leak of the chief maid made Shail's nerves tense.

She knew that there were still many acute issues in the Frost Nation that had not yet been resolved, most notably with the Inquisition.

But since she raised the rebel flag from the fortress, she has been fighting at the forefront for almost half a year.

It's time to relax, this isn't the Land of Frost......

"Of course."

Shayl wants to get out of the Frost Nation's problems for a while and stay in Nolan for a while as a normal person.

"I've wanted to play this game for a long time."

"Let's start with the group cards, although the entry is a card draw, but... Today I will have a conscience once. ”

Qiao Xiu didn't stare at Shail's wallet, even though the other party was a king, so he handed Shail's spare card box to Shail.

Under Qiao Xiu's guidance, the king with a talent for playing games formed a new deck according to his own ideas and began a duel with Qiao Xiu.

"After the game, Shayle, do you think about going somewhere else?" Qiao Xiu asked.

"Other places ......"

Shail's eyes were fixed on his hand, and there were various card descriptions, but his mind was not on it.

"I want to go to the movie theater in Nolan, which seems to be called ......"

In the middle of Shail's thoughts, a rope suddenly appeared on the table, and the front of the rope ignited a flame and spread towards the button at the end of the round.

"What is this?"

As a beginner, Shayl hasn't figured out what this rope means.

"You only have a minute and a half to think about a turn, and this rope burns to the end of the round button and it will force it to become my turn."

"What... What the? ”

Hearing Qiao Xiu's words, Shayer, who had been speaking in a slow tone, instantly entered a tense state.

"This one? Wrong... This one should be used. ”

She'd been chatting with Qiao Xiu and reading the card descriptions this round, and now she was starting to pick out the cards and start manipulating them a little scramblingly.

At the last moment, when the rope was about to burn, Shayl completed the operation of this round.

"Why don't you tell me about this rule sooner rather than later!"

When Shayle came back to his senses, he found that he had made a mistake in his operation, and asked Qiao Xiu angrily.

"Because you didn't ask."

Qiao Xiu couldn't help but smile and drew a card, taking advantage of Shail's mistake, to directly solve her in one round.

"You're not going to be angry, are you?" Qiao Xiu looked at the expressionless king.

"No, start the next round, this time I'm going to win."

Shayl returned to her old pace and urged Joshua to start a new round.

"Well, and about the theater you just mentioned, it should be the White Vitex Theater." Qiao Xiu said.

"It's the White Vitex Theater, where I want to watch The Shawshank Redemption."

Shail's fighting spirit was completely aroused, and she no longer focused on the battle in front of her.

"Then after the gray-clothed man finishes playing Go, I'll send you over."

"And after I beat you."

Shayl added a condition that made Qiao Xiu not know how to answer, so he could only nod.

The new king of the Frost Nation had a truly impeccable talent for the game, and after five consecutive matches, she had mastered the trick of the game, and finally used her luck to kill Qiao Xiu in the last game.

"This game is more fun than I thought it would be."

Shail's face was again indispensable, but her smile didn't last long before it froze.

Because at the entrance to the Hearthstone Tavern, she saw her comrades in the fortress.

The chief maid's informant had found the place, and Shayl couldn't understand why her comrades, who had fought against the Inquisition, would betray her.

Wrong... They don't seem to have betrayed.

Shayl didn't see any grim or impatient expression on their faces, only panic and uneasiness......

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xiu asked.

"My father's men... Found me. Shayl said.
