Grey Mist wasn't far from the fork in the road, and even though the road was rough and the carriage was bumpy, the town could be clearly seen in the night when the two streets were getting dark an hour later.

The more he drove towards Gray Mist Town, the more Lucien felt like he had entered the deep mountains and old forests, the varieties of trees began to change, ordinary oaks, birches, etc. decreased rapidly, and the gray-black trees similar to the cedar trees of the Melzer Black Forest suddenly increased, and their roots, branches, and other knots protruded, like hideous and vivid black monsters, so that Betty, the little girl, couldn't help but clench the short bow and moved closer to the carriage, Mr. Evans has the strength of a high-ranking knight's squire.

"Wilfrid's Magic Tree ......"

Lucien recognized the trees through the window of his car, and they had nothing special about them other than their hideous appearance. However, because Wilfrid, a necromancer who left countless terrifying legends, liked this tree very much and planted it extensively in his half-dimensional magic tower, this tree was directly named the Wilfrid Magic Tree.

It was because of the gray-black magic trees that surrounded it, making the town look like it was shrouded in a layer of gray fog from afar, that it got its current name.

As the carriage drove into the town and past a group of lumberjacks who were returning home in the evening, Lucien saw that all of them had numb expressions and dull eyes, as if all their passion and vitality had been wiped out by the hard work and life of the day.

"If my future life is like this, then I would rather choose death. Betty turned her head to look at the lumberjack with a little palpitation, and encouraged herself.

In front of the town's only hotel, as soon as the carriage stopped, Wise, who had been silent before, jumped down, crouched on the side of the road and retched.

Because of Wise's musical talent and the exchange of friends during the break these days, Betty went over with concern and asked, "Mr. Wise, does it matter? I know it's been a bumpy road." Why don't you walk with us tomorrow?"

"It's okay, I'm feeling better. "Wise's physical fitness is not bad, and his face gradually recovers after retching. A smile reciprocates Betty's kindness.

Joanna looked at Lucien with a smile while helping Lina, who was also a little dizzy and holding the baby in her arms, out of the carriage: "Mr. Evans, you have a good face, and you are not as fragile as I thought. ”

"I just kept sleeping. Lucien didn't pay attention to the bumps along the way, concentrating on parsing and learning magic.

When passing by her. Joanna's voice sounded softly in Lucian's ears with a smile: "Xie Lu, Xie Evans, you didn't blame my stupid sister. ”

Lucien was slightly stunned, then smiled, "She's done her best." ”

Simon on the side also chuckled in a low voice: "Mr. Evans, your strength is good, if it weren't for shouting Betty to deal with it." We didn't know you killed Chris. ”

After laughing twice, Lucien humorously replied, "Poor Betty." "They probably summed up the incident after they were going home.

Lina walked up to Lucien with her sleeping baby in her arms and handed Lucian a silver narr: "Mr. Evans, thank you for letting me join the team, I have reached my destination, this is my reward." ”

"Just drop by. Lucien took the silver.

Lina, who was not pretty, laughed lightly: "No matter what, I will remember your kindness." I'm going to find my cousin, Lady Kaylin. ”

"May the Lord bless you with all the best. Lucien used the idiomatic language of this world.

The shadow of the two-story hotel. Lina's face was slightly gloomy, and she smiled, holding the baby in her arms and turning to walk to the other side of town.

There is a stone bridge in the distance, and behind it is a tall black castle with cross arches, spires, and a thick and solemn architectural style, all of which show that it was built in the late Dawn War.

"It's the castle of Baron Habero, the lord of Grey Mist and other nearby towns and villages. He was a brilliant knight in his youth, eradicated many powerful bandit gangs in the vicinity, and even went to participate in the civil war of the lords of the Gusta Empire, and was a well-known figure in the city of Corser. Many of the stories told by the bard are based on him, a true hero. Simon did not hide his admiration, a knight like Baron Habero was the object of his adventure.

Joanna sighed slightly: "It's a pity that Baron Habero has not been able to be promoted to the Grand Knight, and his body began to decay in his sixties. ”

"Heroes grow old. Wise, who walked over and said with emotion, "Who else in the world can be immortal but the Lord? ”

Betty originally wanted to interject, but when she was sighed by Wise's literary and artistic exclamation, her emotions immediately became heavy, and it seemed that there was no point in struggling all her life to stimulate the bloodline, because she would eventually return to the arms of the Lord.

Lucien didn't feel that emotional, because as long as a magician can step into the threshold of a high level, his lifespan will be beyond imagination.

"Well, Lady Caryn is the wife of Mr. Cook, Baron Habero's butler, and I did not expect that Lady Lina had such a prominent relative. Joanna saw that Wise and Betty were in a depressed mood and quickly changed the subject.

Even the wife of a noble butler is a great figure in the eyes of Simon, Joanna and others, especially since that nobleman is still a real knight.

............

Entering the hotel, the emaciated proprietress looked up at Lucien and the others with gray eyes: "A few distinguished guests, what do you need? ”

She has a flat tone, little enthusiasm, and is dispensable to the guests.

"Mrs. Blanca, we used to stay here a few months ago. You don't seem to be doing well?" Joanna asked curiously, just her and Simon at the time, and Betty was squandering in Corser.

Blanca looked blankly and said to herself, "Little Roy is sick and dead, and he was called by the grace of the Lord when he was only ten years old. ”

"It's only been a few months?" said Joanna, turning back to Lucien, "Little Roy is Madame Blanca's youngest son. ”

Wise drew a cross on his chest: "What a misfortune, may he live forever in the heavenly kingdom of the Lord." ”

Understanding Mrs. Blanca's state, Joanna took the lead in registering, and she said suspiciously: "Mrs. Blanca, isn't it enough to register your name?

These small-town inns don't verify identity documents, but registering a date of birth is something Joanna has never heard of. Even Lucian, who has traveled many countries and has seen a lot, finds it strange.

Blanca's gray eyes replied a little sluggishly: "This is the order of the Baron, and I don't know what the road is for......"

The date of birth is not a confidential piece of information, and you can see it as long as you verify your identity document. But Baron Habero's special emphasis made Lucien have an inexplicable feeling, if it is a ghost fairy story that he has seen in his previous life, then the specific year, month and date often mean the requirements of sacrifices, sacrifices, etc., but Lucien, the magic of this world, is no stranger. At least the Book of Astrology and the Elements doesn't mention anything about date of birth and magic.

Although Simon and the others were puzzled, they didn't care about the date of birth, anyway, no one could verify it if an adventurer like himself changed it casually. So they were dictated, written by Blanca in his own unique symbols.

"Simon, you're only twenty-nine years old, and I thought you were thirty-four or five years old. Lucien jokingly said that Simon's face did look old, while Joanna was twenty-seven, Betty was sixteen, and Wise was twenty-two.

Simon replied with a wry smile: "When I was twenty years old and married Joanna. The guests thought I was her father......"

Lucien was amused, and then learned that Wise only reported his last name: "Evans, June 26, 798 A.D." ”

After speaking, Lucien fell silent, whether his birthday was counted as June 26th. Or the day of the time, or the previous life?

"Mr. Evans, you're not an adult yet?" Betty looked at Lucien, who was obviously stronger than herself, and her expression of surprise was overflowing, she didn't expect him to be so young!

Simon and Joanna, who "know" Lucian's strength, were also amazed.

Lucien no longer dwelled on the question of his birthday, and shook his head slightly: "It's only two days away." "This is evident from the fact that the low-level level in the south-central part of the continent is weaker than in the northern border countries such as Vaorit, and at least in Aalto, it is not uncommon for underage high-ranking knightly squires to be underaged.

Betty said with a little admiration, "This is also very powerful! I hope I will also have the strength of a high-ranking knight squire before adulthood like Mr. Evans." She accidentally leaked Lucian's "strength".

"So you have to go through formal knightly training. Joanna jumped at the chance to educate Betty. After the death of her parents, she became an older sister and a mother at the same time.

............

After registration, and just as they were about to have dinner, a dignified lady with blonde hair coiled up walked into the hotel with two soldiers.

She looked around, and soon found Lucien and the others in the empty hall, and then walked over and said with a polite and reserved smile, "Hello, is there a Mr. Evans here?"

"I'm Evans, I wonder what you're looking for me, Mrs. Lucian?" Lucien probably guessed her identity.

The dignified lady maintained a warm and reserved attitude: "Hello, I am Lina's cousin Kailin, and I have come to thank you, Mr. Evans, for your kindness. ”

"Just a trifle. Lucien felt strange about Grey Mist's way of doing things again, shouldn't this gratitude come with her?

Kailin looked closely at Lucien and Betty, and then looked at Wise: "Lord Baron Habero asked about Lina's journey, and from her description, she knew that Mr. Wise was a gentleman with excellent musical qualities, so he was obsessed with music and wanted to invite Mr. Wise to be his guest. Of course, you are also a guest of great hospitality, Mr. Evans, and your Lord Baron is very appreciative and interested in your graceful demeanor and extensive travels. I don't know if you're willing to accept the invitation?"

Before Lucien could answer, Wise smiled: "I can't refuse the baron's invitation, I've always loved his heroic stories." ”

"And what about my guards?" Lucien pointed to Simon.

Because Baron Habero was mainly interested in Wise's music, Lucien didn't think there was any problem, and Baron Habero, who had ventured around the south-central part of the continent, had seen a lot, and had many heroic deeds, seemed to be a good candidate to inquire about the castle of Calendia, but he couldn't ask rashly, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Kailin smiled with perfect manners: "Lord Baron has invited them as well. He used to be an adventurer too, and he loved to see energetic young adventurers the most. ”

"Really, the Baron invited us?" exclaimed both the young Betty and the mature Joanna, who had never been the same in their adventurer careers as a true knight, by a baron.

After receiving Kailin's affirmation, they looked excited.

............

As she passed the stone bridge and approached the castle, Betty, who had become a little bouncy with her walking, suddenly asked, "Lady Kailin, will Sister Lina also attend the dinner?"

"No, Lina is tired and needs to rest. Kailin replied briefly as she stepped onto the castle drawbridge.

Betty said with a little disappointment, "I kind of miss Sister Lina's cute little baby. ”

Karin didn't answer, walked across the drawbridge, and led Lucien and the others into the castle gates. (To be continued.) )
