Carroston.

The carriage drove slowly along the main road from the cavalry camp towards the city of Carroston.

In the carriage, Giroud was in a complicated mood, Iger was suddenly taken back to the imperial city of Durogar for interrogation because of the previous espionage incident, this matter made him very uneasy, the two have worked together for so long, what kind of person Iger is, he knows very well, integrity, humility, courage and kindness, the qualities that a good knight should have Iger have all. Because of this, Iger has earned Giroud's friendship and respect.

"You look worried, Master Giroud. Are you worried about Knight Egger?" Rafaelo, who was in the carriage, spoke suddenly.

Giroud quickly looked at Rafaello, nodded at him and said, "Knight Egger is a knight worthy of respect. ”

Rafaelo looked up at Giroud, and a smile appeared on his somewhat old face: "Every knight, before he makes a mistake, deserves respect. ”

Giroud seemed to want to argue about something, but looking at Rafaello's expression, he didn't say anything.

"You don't have to defend Knight Eger, Knight and we are two completely different people. Becoming a knight is much more difficult than being a magician. Rafaello said to him.

Giroud didn't quite understand what Rafaelo was trying to say, but he didn't ask.

"In the eyes of many commoners and some minor nobles, the path to becoming a knight is far easier than becoming a magician, because they can see the path of knighthood, but in the process of going to the path of knighthood, how many people can finally become a knight?" said Lafaelo with a hint of embarrassment.

"Isn't the path of a magician more difficult?" Giroud couldn't help but ask.

Rafaelo looked at him, shook his head and said to him, "You only see that the achievements of magicians are difficult, but this difficulty is much easier than the knight's path. Too many magicians are born with the talent of magicians, and systematic learning can master the mysteries of magical elements and become a powerful magician. ”

"And Knight Eger?" Giroud asked.

Rafaelo shook his head: "I said, knights and us are two completely different types of people, the rules of the knight's court are completely different from the magic guild, and no one can say what the outcome of Egger's trial will be, maybe it will be safe, maybe it will be a small punishment, but it may also be deprived of the knight's name." ”

Giroud's face couldn't help but change, being able to make the Knight Court directly invite a high-level great magician to take him away so urgently, such an interrogation is not optimistic no matter how you look at it.

After entering the city of Carroston, the worried Giroud was a little absent-minded, and Rafaelo saw it, but did not say anything.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Maple Leaf Manor, and the two got out of the carriage.

"These two rows of maple trees grow luxuriantly, and Maple Leaf Manor is named after these two rows of maple trees, right?" Rafaelo asked Giroud.

Giroud nodded yes.

Rafaello did not go straight in, but stood quietly in the doorway.

Not long after, Boris heard the news and immediately ran out, and saw Giroud respectfully standing beside an old man dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he hurriedly greeted the old man: "Hello, honorable magician, I am Boris, the butler of Maple Leaf Manor. Welcome to your arrival. ”

Rafaello nodded, his face calm.

"Please come to the manor. Boris politely introduced the two to the estate.

After entering the manor, Rafaelo saw a girl in aristocratic costume sitting in the living room, and the girl saw them for the first time.

"Wizard Giroud!" Vivien stood up and saluted, then turned to look at Raffaelo, "Are you a magician too?"

Giroud then introduced Rafaello: "She is Vivien, the daughter of Viscount Orin, the lord of Caroston, and the apprentice of Master Li Xuan. ”

"Master Giroud, you're wrong, I'm a magician now!" Vivien corrected Giroud's words.

Rafaelo smiled at her, "I'm Rafaello, hello, Master Vivien. ”

Vivien's greeting pleased Vivien, who immediately saluted Rafaello: "Hello, Master Rafaello. ”

"Hahaha" Rafaelo laughed heartily when he heard Vivien's greeting.

Giroud looked at Rafaelo with a strange expression.

"How long have you been learning magic with Master Li Xuan?" Rafaelo asked Vivien with a smile.

His question made Vivien's little face furrow, and she showed a thoughtful expression, and then replied, "I studied magic with my teacher for months. ”

"And what magic do you have now? Rafaello had some kindness on his face.

"I have mastered both the two spells, the 'Magic Arrow' and the 'Attack Acceleration'. Vivien was a little smug.

Rafaello showed a hint of surprise. "You are a smart magician, and you will definitely become a great magician in the future." ”

Vivien, who had received the compliment, was very pleased, nodded repeatedly, and then asked, "Master Rafaello, have you come to see my teacher? If so, you may be disappointed, and the teacher rode to the north on a huge embroidered dragon. ”

Rafaelo nodded: "Yes, I know. ”

"Then why did you come to the manor?" asked Vivien.

"I heard that Master Li Xuan had created a school and a hospital here, and I was a little curious, so I came to take a look. Rafaello said to her with a smile.

"I see. Then I'll show you. Vivien said directly to him.

Rafaelo nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”

After hearing Rafaello's words, Vivien was very happy, this kind-looking old mage had some inexplicable affinity, which made people can't help but want to get close, and he also felt this feeling in Li Xuan.

Giroud, who was standing on the sidelines, was a little messy, after a few years of getting along, Knight Egger was one of his few recognized friends, but now he was far away in the imperial city of Dourogal, facing interrogation, and his future was uncertain.

"Master Giroud, what's wrong with you?" Vivien suddenly saw that Giroud's face was not good.

Rafaelo turned his head to look at Giroud.

"I'm so sorry, Master Rafaello. Giroud quickly apologized.

Rafaello, who had some understanding of his thoughts, glanced at him and said to him casually, "You go about your business first, Vivien here will show me around, and arrange a dinner for me at the Magic Guild in the evening with the taste of the Carroston border." ”

"Yes, Master Rafaello, as you wish. Giroud was grateful, and quickly took his leave of Rafaello, leaving the Maple Leaf Manor and heading straight for the Carouston City Interior Hall.
