Today, the atmosphere in the Golden Rose restaurant is noticeably different.

There were no seats in the restaurant early in the morning, and the diners ate much slower, and some people came up with this method to delay until late because they did not book a place for the evening, but it didn't take long for their dreams to be shattered, and the owner of the restaurant announced that the normal business hours of Golden Rose would only last until 7:40 today, in other words, at the latest, all diners who entered the restaurant during the day would have to end their meals and leave their seats to those who had booked in advance.

As soon as this notice was posted, it was immediately dissatisfied by many people, most of the people who could come here to dine were of prominent status, but everyone just complained, and did not take any further action, a mere restaurant naturally would not be taken into their eyes, but the owner behind this restaurant is Earl Nathan, the old earl, as the most influential person in Guderis City, is rumored to control the city council, at least in the university town, all forces still want to give him face.

However, Count Nathan himself did not seem very happy now, and sat in his yard, looking at an old tree not far away and sighing.

His youngest grandson was by his side, peeling apples for him, "Isn't Grandpa going to go over there at night?"

"See what?"

"The Breton family and the Ferdinand family are among the few great nobles in the north," the younger grandson secretly glanced at his grandfather. It is said that their history is longer than our family, and the marriage of the two families is a very sensational event in the entire Dawn Continent, and it is said that His Majesty the Pope also sent blessings, and Master Mograini is a well-known beautiful man, and many women in Guderies City want to see him, compared to the girls of the Breton family, they are almost, but I heard that they are also a beauty, and the most important thing is that the marriage between the two of them is likely to change the pattern of the entire northern aristocratic forces, they choose to meet in our restaurant, this is a good opportunity, don't you usually educate us to make more friends？”

Count Nathan did not answer the younger grandson's question, but asked, "Do you think the two of them will be together?"

The little grandson was stunned, "Aren't they engaged, eh...... Are you worried that Mograini will not look down on the young lady named Lolo of the Breton family? Indeed, on his terms, what kind of girl can not be found, but the other party is the head of the Breton family after all, Mograini will not be so irrational, if he wants to become the next head of the Ferdinand family, no one can help more than Lolo. ”

The old man shook his head, "You just saw those superficial things, tonight's things are more complicated than you imagined, there seems to be something wrong within the Bretton family, the daughter of the Crimson Sword will appear in Guderies is not rumored to be for the sake of study, it is likely that she was forced to flee, so this marriage is also a bit strange, two days ago, the people from the temple and the Wizards Association came to look for me." ”

"Temples and the Wizards' Guild?" the little grandson was a little surprised, "Are they also paying attention to this marriage between the Ferdinand family and the Breton family?"

"No, rather, they were all looking at the girl named Lolo, especially the people at the temple, who seemed desperate to get the child back to the north. ”

"Who should we help?" asked the little grandson.

"No one helps. Count Nathan closed his eyes, "Some time ago, because of the matter in the mine, we were very close to the church, and some people have begun to be dissatisfied, and the identity of one of the two magicians who kidnapped Archbishop Morteris that night has been basically determined, and it is Dadarion, the president of the Gudris Magicians Association. ”

"Ah, that guy. "The little grandson remembered what happened two months ago and his teeth itched, a banquet he finally held was disturbed by that guy, the other party not only robbed a bishop, but also set a torch to burn half of the Earl's Mansion after the incident, which can be said to be quite arrogant, and he even ran to ask him to help solve the case, in the eyes of that guy, he probably looked like an idiot, the little grandson gritted his teeth," Let's just join forces with the temple, hasn't the Myron family already fallen to the temple, I heard that Moteris also helped them take the right to operate a port for twenty years. ”

"The Myron family is trying to hide the skin of the tiger, and you have to be extra careful when dealing with a giant like the temple, they want far more than you think, our Torocheda family is not a famous family with a long history, the reason why they can control Gudeis is not anything else, that is, a neutral attitude, remember, once you choose a side, it is equivalent to erecting an enemy. The old man sighed, "And the south, after all, is the territory of magicians. ”

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

In a small church on the outskirts of the city, a young man prays in front of an idol.

In Guderis, a city where everyone wants to be a magician, there are fewer believers in the gods than in other places, and the location of this small church is very remote, and there are usually few people who come, and there are only one or two elderly clergy inside, as if they have been abandoned by the gods.

However, at this moment, they were looking at the statue in the hall with excited expressions. As the prayer progressed, a large area of divine power poured out from the body of the idol, filling the entire church, and even faint Sanskrit chanting could be heard in the ears.

One of the older priests could not hold back his tears, and he did not dare to disturb the young man, until he had finished praying, and then stepped forward and said respectfully, "Are you from somewhere else?"

The young man has a handsome face, and when he laughs, it is like the sun shining on the lake, and just a glance from a distance can clear the gloom in his heart.

"I'm not a bishop, just an ordinary paladin who came to church to wash away his sins. ”

"Do you have sin in you?" said the younger pastor.

"We all have sin in our bodies, just to a greater or lesser extent. "The knight is colorful.

"I wonder what the sin is in you?"

"My sin comes from my fiancée, who betrayed her faith, was blinded by hatred, and chose to deprave in endless darkness, and as her fiancé, I will share this sin with her. ”

"Ah, since you're not married, why don't you choose someone else?" said the young pastor.

"The gods will not give up on any believer as her fiancé, and this is the time when you need to guide and save her. The older priest said so.

"Thank you, I thought so too. The knight grinned.
