It didn't take long for Lin Qiu to see what Ramov called a secret stronghold, a bakery.

But the bakery looked old, and it was located in an alleyway, and Ramov led him around the corner before finally reaching the door.

Lin Qiu couldn't help but feel that this was a bakery that was obviously out of the times.

"Welcome to the light...... Ramov, it's you again, I thought there were new customers. The middle-aged woman, who was wiping the plate, sighed a little disappointed when she saw the two people coming in. She couldn't remember how many times Ramov had been here today, and she smiled at Lin Qiu in a friendly manner and welcomed her.

Her instincts told her that something seemed to be about to happen.

Whenever Ramov was cramped and restless, the goatee man would come here several times a day.

"No, I've brought you a new guest, and I'm glaring to introduce you, and this is the famous Tyre Cyleus, the hot new star of the Church!" Ramov raised his voice and introduced himself.

He didn't bother anyone, though.

Because there is not even a single diner in this shabby little shop, except for them and the proprietress of the shop, the tables and chairs are neatly arranged, the wooden tables have been wiped to a new look, and the orange and red tones of the bakery's underwear are dominant, which is quite a kind of firefire style. Lin Qiu speculated from the tone of the proprietress that she should be very familiar with Ramov.

Because ordinary people usually refer to Ramov as "Lord Ramov".

"I've heard of you, and you've stood up for us...... Today I please, please eat with an open stomach!" The proprietress smiled more and more happily.

"Awesome, Betty, then bring us two rum and a barbecue dinner!" Ramov found a chair to sit down, and after hearing the proprietress words, he patted the table excitedly.

"How many times have I said it, there's no such thing here, oh, it's your toast!" the proprietress placed a small wooden basket full of toasted bread on the table, and the shape of the toasted bread was all kinds of eyes, but ......

It looks like it's all toast.

Ramov took out a toast and chewed it with relish: "Don't mind, Betty is always not good at innovation, and I came up with the shape of these toasts for her...... You know, I'm pretty good at art too, oh, you say Betty, Betty she'......."

Lin Qiu stared at Ramov who was talking inexplicably.

In fact, he didn't ask about the proprietress at all, and Ramov seemed to raise a topic himself, and then made a tirade to himself.

However, Ramov's introduction to the proprietress really surprised Lin Qiu.

Betty is her name, which is not very outstanding in the imperial capital, just as his parents expected of her, who wanted Betty to inherit the bakery and live a happy and ordinary life. That's right, Ramov knew Betty's parents, he knew Betty's grandparents, and in fact Ramov became a regular customer when the store first opened.

When Betty was a little girl, Ramov was what she is now, and when she overhears her grandparents talking, she realizes that when her grandfather was his age, Ramov was still what he is now.

This is a man who does not grow old, and for this bakery, Ramov is a permanent guest.

Forever in the truest sense of the word!

"It was during the war years, so I made a bet with the manager at the time that he could only make toast, and I laughed at him that he couldn't keep the store alive. Naturally, he wasn't convinced, so we made a bet to see who his bakery would close down first or if I would die on the battlefield first, and the loser would have to drink a month's worth of rum! Guess what......?"

Ramov deliberately bought a pass.

In fact, the person who bet on him died long ago, he attended the funeral of the other party, and he also attended the funeral of his children. Then came his children, from generation to generation, to this day.

"That guy is really beyond his means, how can I die as a knight of the round table? ”

Lin Qiu thought about it and found that this was a very long story.

"So, as long as people live longer, there will always be something interesting...... I happen to have some questions for you—when you go to Theopharan, Alyssa...... Did she use the engraving?"

"Hasn't she been using the engraving all the time?" Lin Qiu was a little puzzled.

Since his first encounter with Alyssa, Alyssa has manipulated the Engraving in front of him countless times.

......

Ramov scratched his head and smiled: "That's not wrong. ”

"But ......"

"I mean not the usual use of the sign, but her magic mark, which I noticed on the back of her hand when I met her in the morning. ”

Lin Qiu nodded noncommittally.

Naturally, he also noticed the magic patterns on Alyssa's body, but ......

What's so strange about that?

When the level of control over the seal reached a certain level, the magic pattern was an inevitable by-product, and when he surged Helo's power throughout his body according to Ukigaku's teachings, his left eye even burned with blue flames.

"Sure enough...... I guess I was in a very urgent situation. ”

Ramov's thoughtful expression made Lin Qiu feel a little uncomfortable, and he asked, "Is there any problem?"

"Uh, did you notice anything strange about Alyssa's use of the Engraving?"

"Strange place?"

Lin Qiu recalled.

To be precise, Alyssa didn't use the Engraving in front of him, but he did see a completely different Alyssa in the spirit world of Urusos.

Red pupils, eyes full of murderous intent.

But this must be all the spiritual pollution of Urusos, right?

Before Ramov threw out this question, Lin Qiu had always thought so.

"It seems...... Alyssa probably didn't tell you about the Hundred Years' War, did she?"

"Nope. ”

......

There was a long silence again.

Lin Qiu sensed Ramov's unnatural expression, and he seemed to be facing some kind of strong choice. Eventually, he returned the toast he had just picked up to the small wooden basket, sighed and said, "Although I don't want to mention the past to you, since you and Alyssa are already very close, it is better to know some things earlier......

"Actually, when Alyssa joined the church, I made a pact with her not to overdraw her mark unless it was a matter of urgency. ”

The reason why I told Lin Qiu these things at this special time was because Ramov saw the church documents.

The bishop recently decided to let Lin Qiu officially join the Roundtable Council, which means that Lin Qiu already has the strength to know everything. In other words, he has finally grown enough to take care of Alyssa.

"But you'd better be prepared, because Alyssa ...... in the past"

"And now she is almost two completely different people.
