Chapter 190: Enthusiastic Gary
Rob and Lolo then go to Raventown, which is next to Port Setvia, where Konstantin had bought several properties, only to find out that they had also been sold by the guy named Sinclair.
Lolo asked, "What's next?"
"Konstantin has some relatives in the South, and I'll write a letter to Ginny and ask her to help find out this fellow Sinclair. His Excellency the future Ultra Magister said, "The rest will not continue until Ginny's side finishes the investigation, this is not far from the Principality of Chia, let's go and take out Mama Bernice's diary first." ”
Lolo had no objection, and the two then rented a carriage in town, paid a coachman, and set off for Gotaris, the hometown of Grandma Bernice, and unlike when they left the Free City-State, the two encountered little inspection and interrogation along the way, and it seems that neither the Temple nor the Wizards' Guild expected the two to return to the Holy Alliance.
Five days later, in the afternoon when they arrived in Gotaris, there was a light rain in the sky, the path outside the city became a little muddy, and the wheels would get into the mud from time to time, and the coachman had to jump out of the car, take out the planks under the seats, and put them under the wheels, and at the same time wave their whips, and the soldiers outside the city gate looked lazy and lazy, talking to themselves, and the guards were lax, and did not seem to care much about the people who came in and out.
Located in the southern hinterland of the Duchy of Chia, Gotaris is one of the most ordinary towns, with no character and no important people, and the inhabitants of the town live peacefully, the taxes are not high or low, and there have been no serious incidents for hundreds of years.
There are many similar towns in the Holy Alliance, so ordinary that even criminals are not interested in visiting, and the guards in the town are basically just dealing with trivial disputes and trivial matters every day, and when the carriage carrying Rob and Lolo enters the small city, it is as if the drops of water falling into the sea do not cause any waves.
Because of the rain, there was a delay on the road, and it was already night when they really entered the city, and the two of them were not in a hurry, so they found a random inn in the town, moved the luggage from the carriage first, settled the fare, and planned to wait for the next day to start the investigation.
But when the sun rose again in the morning, Rob's door was still closed, and the girl knocked on it, but there was no response.
Luo Luo was a little worried, but then found a magic circle near the door, which should have been arranged by someone, in other words, Rob took the initiative to close the door, so the girl's heart was also a little relieved, she did not leave the hotel, and waited until the afternoon Rob came out of the room.
Luo Luo couldn't tell where it was, but someone seemed to be a little different from the past, his eyes seemed to be deeper, and his whole temperament became more restrained, but Rob looked at her with the same gaze as before.
"Sorry, I waited a long time for some emergencies. The future Wizard touched the girl's head, "Let's go eat something first." ”
"Hmm. ”
The two went to the most famous tavern in town, ordered their signature dish - fried pork rind and mashed potatoes, and asked for two bottles of dark beer by the way, Luo Luo took the wine glass around the tavern, and came back, "There is bad news and good news, the bad news is that the Redbeard Inn was sold three years ago, and the good news is that the previous owner is still here, but he has changed careers." ”
"Oh, what is he doing now?"
Luo Luo raised the wine glass in his hand, "Brewing, he opened a brewery on the outskirts of the city, and the beer we drink now is produced by him, I asked four or five people, and their answers are basically the same, so this news should be true." ”
"So the church probably hasn't found the diaries that Mama Bernice left behind. ”
"It looks like this. Lolo took a deep breath, no one knew what was recorded in the more than thirty notes that Mama Bernice secretly gave to Mama Teresa, but the temple did not hesitate to send someone to monitor the whole process when the latter came to Gotaris, Mama Bernice obviously knew something, but this time the girl did not dare to expect too much, for fear that she would be disappointed again like the previous times, and in the end only disappointed.
"Are you ready?" asked Rob.
The girl finished the rest of the dark beer from her glass, wiped the foam from her mouth, and nodded.
Half a magic hour later, the two stood outside the brewery, the owner of this place is named Gary, he saw a business opportunity three years ago to sell the ancestral inn, and borrowed some money from relatives and friends, and finally opened this brewery, the business is very good, now not only has returned to the original, but also saved a lot of money, so he bought another piece of land next to the brewery, built a small manor and the family lived.
The neighbors around him spoke highly of Gary, who took good care of his workers and was kind to the guests who came to his door.
Although he didn't know Luo Luo and Rob, he still invited them into the house and made tea for the two, and after the two explained their intentions, Gary thought for a while, "Oh...... That was eighteen or nineteen years ago, and I still remember that grandma, she was very nice, and she helped the children in the neighborhood to see a doctor for a few days after she stayed, and when she left, she said to keep those notes with me temporarily, but she didn't come back after that. ”
Luo Luo said excitedly when he heard this, "Then do you still keep those notes?" ”
"Of course, although I sold the hotel, but the things that people dragged me to keep will not be thrown away together, I have been waiting for someone to come back to get them all these years, but I have moved a few times, although the things have not been lost but have been messed up, some are still in the old house, I don't know if you can give me a day or two to tidy up a little. ”
"Really, thank you so much, these notes are important to me, how can we repay you?" said Lolo excitedly.
Rob pulled out a bag of gold coins, about fifty or sixty, from his pocket and placed it on the table, but Gary refused.
The latter waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of keeping dozens of notes, and it's not a big deal, besides, I promised that grandma back then, but now it's just fulfilling my obligations, by the way, you are now staying in the inn in the town, and I will send it to you as soon as I get it sorted out." ”
"What's so embarrassing about that? We'll just get it ourselves when the time comes. ”
"No, no, no, I'm going to the city tomorrow afternoon to deliver the goods, and I'll just go to you when the time comes. ”
Luo Luo thanked the other party again, and at the same time left the address of the hotel, and the two left Gary's small manor, and returned to the place where the girl lived, and the girl still couldn't believe that this time it went so well.
Until that night, soon after falling asleep, Luo Luo felt someone tap her on the shoulder, and when she opened her eyes, she found Rob standing in front of her bed, and the girl's heart was pounding, and she was a little shy to pull up the quilt, but the future Master of the Ultra Magus gestured to her, signaling that there was someone on the roof.
