Chapter V: Entrustment

"Is it true that being a knight is a nobleman?"

Ai Lu shook his head: "No. If you are accepted as a Knight Candidate, you can enter the Kingdom Academy of Magic to study magic for two years, and then if you pass the exam, you can officially join the Kingdom Knight team and serve the royal family. If there is any major merit during the period, there is a chance to get a reward from the king, and it is even possible to directly obtain a fief and become a nobleman. ”

"I see. Xu Mu nodded, people are not afraid of not working hard, they are afraid of not having a goal to work hard.

Ai Lu was about to say something more, and suddenly the sound of armor rubbing sounded in the distance, and more than a dozen fires were a little dazzling in the dark night.

The town's guards are finally here!

Xu Mu frowned, and hurriedly said to Ai Lu: "No matter what, thank you Miss Ai Lu for answering so many things for me, a little civilian, and I'll see you in the future." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left, preparing to flee the place.

He can't be caught, you must know that his fame is not well-known among the middle and upper classes in the town, but his fame in the guard's area and the slum's cellar is not small, usually everyone is gone without knowing it, and the first person who thinks of the guard when he receives the report is Xu Mu.

The situation on the road scene is so bad, there are several holes in the body of the corpse, there are no corpses are a puddle of ashes, and the rest of the fireworks and dead wood where the flames have been extinguished, Xu Muzhen is not clear when he is caught.

Seeing Xu Mu leave directly, Ai Lu was stunned and thought of something, and hurriedly followed Xu Mu and left with him.

On the road, Xu Mu maintained a steady speed, but the pace was not slow, but Ai Lu, who followed behind, was a little offended.

On the one hand, Ai Lu wanted to keep up with Xu Mu's pace, but it didn't take long for his body to recover his strength, and on the other hand, Xu Mu didn't use torches to rush to the night, but this doesn't mean that Ai Lu can accept it.

If the roads of this world are not close to the main city limits, the roads are basically uneven and full of potholes, and the carriages must be driven carefully in the past, so as not to be bumpy in the buttocks.

After walking away, Xu Mu stopped, he looked back at Ai Lu, and felt very strange, if he didn't have no grudge against Ai Lu, and she was still wanted, he was not afraid that she would report herself, otherwise maybe he would solve Ai Lu together.

"Miss Ailu, it's almost okay, do you want to follow me all the way to Gothtown?"

With only the faint moonlight, Ai Lu looked at the indifferent eyes of the hooded man in front of her, she suddenly trembled and felt frightened, as if she was being targeted by a snake, she hesitated and said, "I have something... I wanted to talk to you. ”

"Just say it. ”

"I'd like to ask you to do me a favor. ”

"Oh?" Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh, "I'm just a commoner in a remote town, what can I do to help you?" Miss Ai Lu should find someone else. It's really not okay to go to the guild in Gothic Town and ask the bounty hunter to help you. ”

Ai Lu Silver Tooth gritted and hurriedly said: "I am not suitable to go to the guild to give a commission for this matter, and my current identity is also very sensitive, and there are some things to entrust..."

Xu Mu looked at Ai Lu's whole body, and said slowly: "You can talk about it first, what can I do as a civilian to help you." ”

Ai Lu came to Xu Mu, and she pondered for a while before speaking: "You know that I am no longer a nobleman, and the family title and fief have also been taken back by the king, and even the family members in the family... They are all dead. ”

"And then?" Xu Mu frowned, could it be that this Ai Lu wanted to accept herself as an entourage, and then help her restore her title?

"I don't know what happened at home, but I know that it's not that simple, my father and brother will never be killed for disobeying the king's orders...!"

"Then Miss Ellu, what do you want me to do for you?"

Obviously there was no one on the road at night, but Ai Lu still glanced around before he spoke: "Since my little brother told me that there is a dark room in the house, and the dark room hides rare items in the house... I think you can help me go to the darkroom and get my things out..."

Xu Mu was a little surprised, it turned out that Ai Lu wanted to touch the family's inheritance to live.

Ai Lu sighed lightly: "The fiefdom is not like this remote place, even if there is a wanted warrant, not everyone will recognize me, if I go to the fiefdom, it is absolutely impossible to be caught..."

"Then how much can Miss Ai Lu give me?" Xu Mu was actually a little moved in his heart, the treasures stored in the noble dark room are estimated to be worth a lot!

If you want financial freedom, you have to be cheated, and if you want to get rich overnight, you have to lack virtue in the five elements, this is the deepest life truth that Xu Mu has experienced when he comes to this world.

Ai Lu took a deep breath: "I don't want anything from the treasure in the dark room... I just want one of the books in the darkroom. ”

"A book?" Xu Mu was stunned, he thought that Ai Lu would say five or five accounts, he was ready to bargain, but he didn't expect Ai Lu to want nothing, just a book? This made Xu Mu suspicious.

"That book is something that my father and brother have guarded to this day, and I don't want any other possessions, but I have to... This is the last bit of hope in my heart..."Ailu's eyes darkened, and his head bowed slightly.

Xu Mu thought about it for a while, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, although he was moved, he was not a fool.

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't agree immediately, Ai Lu was a little anxious and hurriedly said: "Although I don't know how much money there is in the dark room, it is worth at least more than 100 gold coins! I can't go to the guild to give a commission, and I don't even dare to contact the friends I knew before, for fear of implicating them! You saved my life tonight, I should have thanked you so much... But I don't really have any conditions right now... If it was before, with your great kindness to save my life, I would definitely recommend you to be an alternate in the assessment of the King's Knights. But now..."

"I see. Ai Lu itself is not a little charming, when it comes to some places, Ai Lu's small nose twitches from time to time, and it seems to be a little lonely, which also makes Xu Mu's heart soften: "I can promise you." ”

"Really?!" Ailu couldn't help but be surprised.

"But I have a few more conditions to tell you. ”

"You say!"

"One, if there is any danger to my life in this matter, then I will give up. Although I love money, I will not lose my life because of money. ”

"Of course. ”

"Second, if you want to follow me in this operation, you must obey my arrangement, I don't want someone to have a noble lady temper on the side when I arrange to do things. ”

"No problem. ”

"Three, on the way, I hope you can teach me some common sense about magic. ”

Ai Lu blinked at Xu Mu, but he didn't expect the man in front of him to be so obsessed with magic: "But the common sense of magic, this is no problem." ”

The corners of Xu Mu's mouth were slightly raised: "Nacheng, I took this matter." ”

Ai Lu also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly: "Reacquaint yourself, Ai Lu." ”

"Xu Mu. ”

After the two discussed the details of the commission, Ai Lu even made a magic contract with Xu Mu.

In this world, after both parties reach a commission, they can sign a magic contract with each other, and the magic contract itself is to protect the rights and obligations of both parties, if one party violates the contract, then one of the parties will be disturbed.

However, magic contracts are usually signed by the guild as a third party, and Xu Mu and Ai Lu do not have this condition, so they have to be done by Ai Lu, Ai Lu is even afraid that Xu Mu will think that she will do something in the magic contract, but Xu Mu didn't care about it.

After all, Ailu is a legal person, in fact, he can terminate the contract and terminate the entrustment at any time.

The fiefdom of Ai Lu's family was in the west of the kingdom, close to the border, and it happened to be on the way to Gothic Town, where Xu Mu had planned to go, so he rushed to Gothic Town to make some preparations.

After all, the Ailu fiefdom is still too far away from them, and they must be prepared to travel a long way.

You even have to prepare some equipment, because the closer you get to the fiefdom and some big towns, the more people may recognize Ailu, and they are afraid that something will happen during the period.

Although the contract between Xu Mu and Ai Lu did not have regulations to protect the personal safety of the other party, he was still a little reluctant to let Ai Lu have an accident for no reason, of course, provided that he didn't encounter troublesome things that he couldn't handle himself.

After Ai Lu had an accident at home, she obviously suffered a lot of setbacks and trials outside, and she could not stand such a hardship as rushing to the night.

On the way, Xu Mu directly raised some questions about magic, and Ai Lu was not afraid to answer them for Xu Mu.

For example, there are three ways to release magic, the first is the simplest magic scroll, the second is the magic prayer, and the third is the magic chant.

The magic scroll is easy to understand, especially since Xu Mu has seen it with his own eyes tonight. But the difference between magic prayer and magic chanting made Xu Mu wonder.

Under Ai Lu's detailed explanation, Xu Mu fully understood the difference between the two.

For example, the primary-level magic fire scroll released by Ailu tonight was made of magic prayers, and the mid-level magic fire wall she released later was chanted by magic.

It's not that the wall of fire magic can't be used with magic prayers, but it's better to chant continuous magic and area of effect magic, which is to maintain the stability and operability of continuous magic, and it can also greatly increase the power of releasing magic.

However, magic chanting also has its drawbacks, such as the slow release of magic and the fact that it cannot be interrupted during chanting. On the other hand, the Magic Prayer is simpler, as the Magic Prayer has a special spell to cast, and the process will be more concise.

With Xu Mu, who is used to walking at night, leading the way, Ai Lu no longer worries about what will happen to him, and his heart is much more relaxed.

After feeling a little relaxed, Ai Lu couldn't help but be a little interested in Xu Mu.

A commoner in a remote town actually has the money to buy and use magic identification stones, and even violates national regulations, and wants to practice magic, you must know that it is a capital crime for civilians to practice magic.

On the other hand, Xu Mu's temperament made Ai Lu a little confused, she thought that she had seen many people, including arrogant and extraordinary noble children, humble and self-satisfied genius boys, and low-class commoners who were only humble and humble.

But this is the first time she has seen someone like Xu Mu.

is extremely calm, obviously just a civilian, but after stabbing a few people, he can still think about the problem so calmly, and he also proposed an exchange of interests with her.

Although people look very realistic, the strange thing is that getting along with Xu Mu actually made her have a strange sense of trust...
