As soon as the sky was white, the castle courtyard was already very lively.

The neighing of the horses, the clash of steel as they checked their weapons, and the cackling of a few old hens kept by the servants seemed to be frightened, and they ran around with a constant crow.

Because the courtyard was really crowded at this time, some of the knights who were ready had already run to the square outside the castle, waiting for the time to leave the city.

"I've carefully considered your proposal to open a newspaper on the island. In the early morning sun, Alan was saddle his horse, and Raphael said, "The result of my consideration is that I can think about it." ”

"Are you kidding?" Alan glanced at him, not paying much attention.

"What do you mean by being funny? I'm really thinking about it, okay?" said Raphael, dissatisfied, "I do think so, you can consider it." ”

"You can think about it, but I don't know if I should do it......" Alan pouted, and then changed the subject.

"You can move around freely?"

"Of course," Raphael said with great interest: "After the realm is broken, Tari will not restrict my personal freedom, that is, I can choose to stay in the bay, or I can choose to return to the island, and I can also go around... I can go anywhere except not to leave the stars. ”

"The stars don't mean anywhere. ”

"The stars are big enough for me to wander around for a while. ”

"Congratulations, when are you going to start traveling?"

"I'd like to go out now, but now that I've accepted your offer, I think it's better to wait until you come back. ”

Raphael's words made Alan look at him a little, and he then patted the horse on the body and said with a smile: "I don't see it, you are quite principled." ”

"It's okay. Raphael smiled humbly: "Actually, Simona's spell research has progressed, and I'm also very curious about this." ”

"What's the progress?" asked Allen with interest.

This is a matter of whether his gift spell can be learned by others, and it is impossible for Alan not to care, but his previous cluelessness makes him see no hope.

And now it's even said that there is progress?

"Not long after you finished casting the Mage's Hand yesterday, Simon said he had discovered the unknown element. ”

"Really? That's a pity. Allen said that because he needed to explain the "aftermath", he left in the middle of yesterday's discussion, and he didn't expect to make progress there.

"Can you release it?"

"No, he's not sure if it's the corresponding element of the Mage's Hand, and we need to continue to study it. Raphael couldn't answer Alan's question.

"Well, I hope you guys go well with your research. Alan didn't care, he straddled the beautifully shaped one-handed sword with a sheath around his waist, then straightened the black cloak on his coat, and seeing that everything was ready, he stepped on.

"I may have to stay at Samuel until the day of the oath. Straddled on the horse, Alan bowed his head and said, "I'll leave the matter of hiring a large number of mages to you!"

"Don't worry. Raphael patted the saddle he was sitting on, looked up at Alan and smiled: "If you don't want to make friends with us, you have to work hard for your one gold coin per mage, but your kid's courage is not ordinary, and there is no limit to the number of mages?

"Are there more than 10,000 Star Mages?"

"It's hard to say about the wild mage, but the number of mages in the five-color pagoda is probably not that much. ”

"That's it. Alan grinned: "As long as it doesn't exceed ten thousand, I can afford it." ”

"Pay according to the ability of the mage, a monthly salary of a minimum of five gold coins, and a maximum of 50... plus the fare for the journey," Raphael pouted, "how long can you pay?"

"It's lonely. Alan raised his eyebrows: "I recently made a big deal, if you really find ten thousand mages, I don't think it will last long, but I think you can call a thousand and I will burn high incense." ”

“....”

"Well, when you're gone, I might as well take a look around your vault. Raphael said ill-intentionedly.

"Whatever you want. Alan said disdainfully: "If you can get one, count me as losing." ”

"So confident?" said Raphael, surprised.

"I'm not too confident," Alan touched his chin, "that's what Charles told me. ”

"Charles?"

Raphael understood, so he said indignantly: "Perverted apocalypse...."

The Knights of the Apocalypse are known for their interesting and well-known method of protecting their wealth, which is to mix their own blood with some other spices and then smear them on treasure chests simply and rudely.

The chest looks no different from normal when coated with a mixture of blood, but if a non-blood owner touches the chest, the blood attached to it will turn into the power of the Apocalypse Knight to fight back against the thieves. It may not be very powerful, but it can make the Apocalypse Knight himself sense what is happening in the treasury.

"The knight is full of treasures, and it is not for nothing that the people of the Roland Empire are so persevering. Raphael muttered, patted Allen's saddle, and said, "Be careful, Samuel has not been purged by your father, there are many overseas forces that have been infiltrated there, and they can't help Samuel's family, maybe they will set their eyes on you." ”

"I'll be careful. There was no shame in saying that he was not afraid of anything, and Alan nodded cautiously in response to Raphael's advice.

Samuel is no better than a bay, not even a reef, and despite the city's size, security and stability are not necessarily better than those of the two places where he is.

Not everyone is as top-notch in strength and management ability as old Tyron, with high force and deep calculation, and during the period of his rise, he was not less attracted by major forces.

The royal family, the Church, the Apocalyptic Council, and even other powers.

It can even be said that Samuel's marriage is one of the solicitations.

Why was the Semuel family still not angry after being voluntarily divorced by others, and when they saw that the time was right, they proposed to let Alan go?

It's not because of Taryn.

Alan is not arrogant enough to be handsome.

As a means of wooing Tyrann, Allen went to Samuel to obviously exchange feelings, and some of the agreements reached between the two parties in private can be guessed by fools.

Marriage!

So Alan is very resistant to going to Samuel, but as he said before, he can do small things as he wants, and Taryn won't care much, but this kind of important thing that can obviously affect the southern part of the stars, and even the entire situation of the stars, even if he wants to refuse, he can't refuse.

If he didn't go, Taryn probably wouldn't hesitate to tie him up, which was one of the reasons why Alan finally chose to compromise.

If you can't resist, it's better to accept it, drag it, and then find another way...

However, this kind of thing can be delayed, but the crisis he may encounter does not necessarily make him prepared.

You must know that Old Tylen has many enemies, and there are more people who don't want the two families to successfully marry.

Although they would ensure the safety of their guests in their own territory, Alan felt that their assurances might not be very effective due to his distrust of the Samuel family.

Those who are familiar with the history of the stars know that Samuel started by betraying his master, what credibility can he have?

And Semuel seems to be involved in the disaster of the Chrissy family, which makes Alan even more vigilant.

Therefore, his bad feelings for Samuel's family are not just because of the marriage contract, which is just a small issue, but more because of Samuel's black history - don't forget, Alan has been an information dealer for a long time, and he knows a little about some of the hidden things in the nobility.

So he had to be cautious on this trip, and if it weren't even for custom, he would have thought of bringing a guard, although it would be of little use in the face of danger.

In the stars, there is a general rule, that is, you can't bring a guard when you go to a friend's house, because it will make people think that you are afraid that they can't protect you, this kind of rule Alan feels very unreasonable, because sometimes it is true that it can't be protected, but this is actually not the most unreasonable.

It is said that a long time ago, this rule was stricter, and you can't bring weapons when you go to other people's homes...

...

With plenty of gold coins in hand, supplies for the long journey, and the pot of moonshine seedlings that were still not growing, Alan left the bay with the crowd saying goodbye.
