Manfred spent most of the day in the tavern, arriving at the tavern in the morning before the people started busy, sitting down at the table against the wall, and drinking until the evening, before staggering back to the castle.

Ray was anxious and suspicious, but she didn't ask much, and during the day she would wander around the city of Deluth, a capital that could not be completed in two days, although not as prosperous as Saint-Sean and de Ville. Most of the people here have brown or pale red hair, and Rui's black hair is very eye-catching here, coupled with deep black eyes, from time to time bold men come forward to talk to her. Every now and then, Ry's mind would bring up Brewster's figure, and she shook her head desperately before she could push the knight's shadow out of her mind.

Every evening, Rui would go to Manfred's tavern to urge him back, and then walk slowly back to the castle after the great sage, while preventing the drunken Manfred from recognizing the way back to the castle, or getting drunk on the way. Even the owner of the tavern thought that they were grandparents and grandchildren, and enthusiastically wanted to introduce Rui to the excellent man in his mouth, and in Rui's cold eyes, the boss finally retreated.

At night, Ray remembers the adventures he had with Fern, Stan and Ness, and the four of them supported each other to overcome many dangers and finally complete the mission of Ness's trial, which seemed to have happened not long ago. But Rui knew that that had been a few months ago, and now that the four of them were scattered in different directions of Wallis, it was a long way to go before they could continue their adventures together. Rui sighed in disbelief every time she thought about it, and she could sense that there was a force pulling them in unpredictable directions, everything out of her control. Having been acting alone since she was a teenager, she had traveled with three other people and found that she had fallen in love with it, and now that only Manfred was walking with her, and that she was a confused old man with a two-generation generation gap, which made her even more nostalgic for the journey.

The nights in Dluth were very cold, the fire in the fireplace was blazing, and the room was as warm as 'spring'. Manfred also casts an enchantment in Rui's room, allowing her to sleep peacefully without any worries, but Rui, who is preoccupied, barely sleeps until the second half of the night every night.

Early in the morning of the third day, as in the previous two days, Ray went to visit Manfred's room, and without any accident there was still no one in the room, so Ray ate some fruit and bread from the servants, and left the castle.

In the morning, Deluth was covered in a thin veil, and the cold weather made most of the people here still nest under the covers at this time, and the streets were unusually cold, and the air was cold but fresh, which made Rui's 'spirit' refreshed. Instead of continuing to browse the shop, Rui walked straight into the tavern, and as expected, Manfred was already in his old seat, Rui shook his head and walked over and sat down opposite the Great Sage. "Great Sage, today is the last day we can stay here, tomorrow we will be kicked out, are you going to continue drinking all day?"

Manfred picked up the bottle and poured a glass for Rui. "Don't worry, Rui, don't let the watchers find out about your emotions. ”

Rui relaxed his shoulders and raised his glass. "I know there will be watchers, but we have to do something today, we can't just get out of here. ”

"I know that the 'sex' of human vigilance will be at its lowest point at the end of time, and that is the right time. Manfred sipped from his glass, his eyebrows furrowed.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with this wine?" Ruiya brought it to her lips and carefully 'licked' a little bit with her tongue, then looked at the great sage in surprise, but she hadn't forgotten to lower her voice. "Isn't this wine?"

"It's really not, it's the lime juice I asked my boss to pour on purpose, which can make me sober up very well. Manfred put down his glass. "The night will be a cover for our actions, but it will not be until the early hours of tomorrow morning, as I said, that is when the opponent's guard is most relaxed, but the more difficult thing is how we can be at our best at that time. ”

Rui heard that he was finally going to act, and the depression of the past few days was finally swept away. "We can sleep in the afternoon and have 'spirits' in the evening. ”

"Taking a nap for no reason will only make the nearby hounds suspicious, and we have to find a reason to work together. Manfred looked at the bottle on the table.

Rui followed the gaze of the great sage and saw the tall and large wine bottle. "You mean we pretend to be drunk?"

Manfred nodded at Rui in satisfaction. "You're really smart, if you and Morena fall under my 'door', your achievements may be higher than hers, but it's a pity ......"

"Moses was also a very good teacher, he taught me a lot and saved me. Rui remembered his master, who was on both sides of the camp with him, and looked down at the table.

"Let's talk about this later, now we have to think about how we can play the 'tough' role, you don't have to worry about the boss here, I have already done it two days ago, and this bottle of lime juice was also prepared by him. With that, Manfred glanced at the bottle in disgust. "I just didn't expect this lime juice to be so sour, and my few remaining teeth were going to be soured. ”

Rui smiled slightly, sipping the orange juice in the teacup, and even she frowned unconsciously. "It's really sour, I'd rather drink than drink this. ”

"Hahahaha. Manfred laughed heartily, and the two men at the table next to him glanced warily in this direction, then lowered their heads and continued to whisper.

Manfred waved at the boss. "Bring a cup of hot water to this 'woman'. ”

The boss respectfully brought hot water, and the great sage quickly ordered in his ear, "Orange juice is diluted in half, ten pots, and prepared by the afternoon." ”

"Be ready, just wait for your orders, and I will serve it myself. The boss nodded and bowed back.

Rui looked at the great sage with admiration. "How did you make him so obedient, did he also use gold coins?"

Taking advantage of the lack of attention, Manfred quickly poured hot water into the bottle. "I'll teach you later, for now, you better go out for a walk, it's still a long time until noon, remember, come back here by noon. ”

Rui drank the lime juice from the wine glass in one gulp and quickly covered his mouth. "Ah, this ...... It's sour, I see, do you need me to prepare something? I can go buy some. ”

"You really look like a drinker. Manfred smiled kindly. "You better go shopping according to your own interests, you have to understand that our every move is under the watchful eye of the other party, and they all know what you went to buy, so it's better not to prepare anything. ”

"I see. Rui stood up, thought for a moment, and sat down again. "Are you sure? I mean, tonight's action, you said that the other side is very strong, what are your chances of winning?"

"It depends on whether the other person is here or not. Manfred looked at Rui faintly, not at all nervous. "It's hard to say now, but we'll know in the evening. ”

Rui shook her head, obviously very dissatisfied with Manfred's answer, but she had learned the old man's style of doing things in the past few days with the Great Sage, so she didn't ask any more questions, and stood up and walked out of the tavern.
