Hailan City, inside a small tavern.

Arthur found a secluded spot and ordered two jugs of wine and a few dishes at random.

The thin young man Bisk only had a bit of a ranger's bearing at this time, he first picked up a pot and drank most of the pot himself, and only after he was too addicted to alcohol did he pour wine into Arthur and his own cup.

"Let me have a toast, thank you for inviting me to dinner. Bisk took a sip of his glass.

Arthur's cup lifted slightly, then he threw his head back and drank it down.

After a drink, Bisk began to eat with his head down, he was so hungry that he didn't say a word and just gobbled it up.

Arthur didn't care about him, he only ate and drank by himself.

Bisk wiped his mouth again after he was full of wine and food, and raised his glass again, "I'm full, acquaintance is fate, if I have a fate to see you again, I will definitely double your hospitality." ”

Arthur smiled and didn't speak, and counted out twenty-five gold coins from his money bag and pushed them in front of Bisk.

Bisk looked at Arthur with a puzzled look, "What do you mean?"

"I bought your magic ring in that situation, and I really took advantage of it. But your ring is worth little to those who don't know it, and those who know it are a curse rather than a blessing to you. Therefore, I bought it at the average price of the third-level enchanted equipment, which should be a reasonable price. ”

"I still don't understand what you mean, how much is my ring worth?"

"It's worthless in your hands, but it will bring disaster to you, and it's better not to know something. ”

Bisk nodded, "You're right, I've already sold it anyway, and the extra twenty-five gold coins are already an unexpected surprise." ”

Bisk said and began to load the money, "Originally, I just owed you a meal for wine, but now this favor is a bit big." We rangers have always had a clear grudge, and if you have any trouble, I can help you. ”

Arthur smiled, "No need, acquaintance is fate as you said, I spent a few more gold coins just to buy a peace of mind." ”

Bisk put all the money away, then looked up at Arthur, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take this money and go gambling?"

Arthur made an indifferent expression, "The money is yours, and it's your freedom to choose how you spend it." ”

"You're such an interesting person, very temperamental to us rangers. ”

"Well, somebody said that about me before. Arthur didn't deny it.

Bisk patted his forehead slightly, "You said you also have a friend who is a ranger, and you forgot to ask your friend's name while eating?"

"Her name is Aretha, she is known as the Blue Enchantress, and she is a very beautiful woman with long blue hair, do you know her?"

"The Blue Enchantress is your friend, you're not easy!" Bisk exclaimed.

Arthur was also overjoyed, and for the first time in more than a month of Norman, he got a clue about the blue enchantress, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know her?"

Bisk immediately became excited, "I don't dare to say it in the entire Empire of Light, but in the Norman Kingdom, there is no ranger who doesn't know the Blue Enchantress, she is a legendary ranger in the kingdom!" Then his expression was a little frustrated, "I'm just a small person, I know people, but the deputy alliance leader doesn't know me." ”

"You said the Blue Enchantress is the deputy alliance leader?"

"Don't you know? Although we rangers don't have a well-organized union like mercenaries and magicians, each kingdom also has a relatively loose alliance, and once a ranger encounters unsolvable trouble, he can ask the alliance for help, and the alliance will notify the nearby rangers and let them decide whether they are willing to help or not. ”

It was the first time Arthur had heard of such an organization for the Ranger.

Arthur tried to hide the joy in his heart, "I came to the Norman Kingdom this time to find the Blue Enchantress, do you know where she is now?"

Bisk said unsuspectingly, "We rangers have always had no fixed place to live, but it is very likely that the deputy alliance leader will be in Seacliff City, the headquarters of the alliance. ”

Sea Cliff City is the royal city of the Norman kingdom. Unlike other Terran countries, the Normans have a long border bordering the sea, and the main threat to the kingdom is the monsters from the sea. At the beginning of the founding of the Norman Kingdom, the royal city was built in the border city closest to the sea, Sea Cliff City, vowing that the Norman royal family would stand on the front line of danger to protect the people of the kingdom.

"Sea Cliff City, the headquarters of the Ranger League. "After more than a month of arriving in Norman, Arthur finally had the first clue to the whereabouts of the blue enchantress.

"Are you going to Seacliff next?" asked Bisk tentatively.

Arthur didn't deny it.

"Shall I go with you?" Before Arthur could refuse, he quickly said, "The location of the Alliance headquarters is not fixed, and if you don't have a ranger with you, you won't be able to find a place even if you get to Sea Cliff City." ”

Arthur looked at Bisk with a smile, "You seem to really want to go to Sea Cliffs?"

Bisk smiled, "I'd like to take this opportunity to meet the legendary ranger 'Blue Enchantress'. ”

Arthur kept his eyes on Bisk and didn't speak.

Bisk was embarrassed, and then said with some embarrassment: "Even the twenty-five gold coins you gave me are not enough to pay off the gambling debts." ”

So Arthur's Norman trip had one more companion, an unreliable companion.

......

Sea Cliff City, the highest cliff in the city, stands a majestic castle.

One side of the castle faces the sea to the east, and below the castle is a rocky cliff that goes straight up and down. Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, the ocean rose to the bottom of the cliff, and this place was named Sea Cliff City. Later, the sea receded, and there was only a large area of land dozens of miles away between Sea Cliff City and the coastline.

The Seventh Highness of the time, the current Emperor of Light, Idir, stood for a long time in front of an open window on the top floor of the castle, and the wind blowing outside the window was wrapped in the breath of the ocean.

Ever since he came to the Seacliff Palace, Idir has always liked to stand in front of the window and look out, standing for a long time, and no one knows what he is thinking.

"Your Majesty the King of Frans is waiting to see you in the study. A chamberlain's voice came from behind him.

Idil sneered, "See me, summon me, right? You go and tell the King of France, what is it up to him to decide?"

The language of the Idir is full of resentment. When he first stepped on the throne of the emperor, he was still full of joy, thinking of capturing Arantis, killing Grantham, and reviving the Empire of Light.

Soon Idil was defeated by the harsh reality, and the Manor army was held back from the border by the combined forces of Holo and the Empire. Not to mention the Zhongxing Empire, even in the Norman kingdom he was just an ornament, his own uncle King Frans ornament, there was nothing in the kingdom to ask him for advice, with his consent, he was raised like a caged bird.

"Emperor, His Majesty the King sees that you have something important to discuss this time, saying that it is about the unification of the entire empire!"

Idir was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes shone again, and he seemed to see hope again......
