Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Rhine

He waved his hand, and the witch who was supposed to be burned at the stake appeared in front of him.

The witch was dressed in a black magic robe, in her twenties, with a delicate and beautiful pale face, and her expression was hideous and crazy because of the curses she had cursed before "death". She seemed to have stepped through time and space, shook her dizzy head, and then opened her eyes, and found herself in a luxurious villa. A young man with black hair and black eyes in a tuxedo was sitting on the sofa drinking juice, and a beautiful and cute little girl in front of him was gritting her teeth and writing something.

After glancing around, she didn't notice anything else before she hurriedly saluted and bowed her head: "Sir, who are you?"

Guan Mingyu didn't answer, slowly put down the juice and said, "Aalto is the largest city in the western part of the continent, rich in resources, and a good place to practice magic. But here is the cardinal Salde and two other epic knights, easy to spot. I noticed you when you first arrived. โ€

Only then did the witch react, and she quickly bowed her head and saluted: "Thank you, sir, for saving me." โ€

Guan Mingyu said slowly: "I'm not saving you, I've read your "Book of Elements and Astrology", and I have learned a little bit of the magic on it, so I owe you." Saving you this time is considered to be a return for this kindness. Next, if you want, I will send you to a place to learn magic, and you will start a new life. โ€

The witch lowered her head and thought for a while, "Sir, can I stay?"

Guan Mingyu shook his head: "Actually, no, I'll go back in a year and a half." You're different from little Louise, she's young, receptive, and learns quickly. You have a fixed mindset, and you have to go to the corresponding environment to change quickly. Of course, I'll introduce you to a magic school first, and you can learn some basic general knowledge from them. โ€

The witch thought quietly for a moment, then nodded slightly. Others are repaying their kindness, they can't blackmail him, it's good to survive, the grace of saving lives, and any kindness is enough.

Guan Mingyu told again: "Well, I have some things here, and I can pay you back." Don't ask for that book, if there's anything missing, I'll give it to you when I get back. By the way, don't say much about my identity. โ€

The witch nodded, and after a few words of advice to Louise, Guan Mingyu disappeared with the witch in Aalto, and then returned to Alinge and sent her to Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Before leaving, Guan Mingyu gave her a ring with a lot of materials, enough for her to use before she reached the middle level, as well as a few triggering defensive magic scrolls, which was also worthy of her. Of course, these things are useless to him, his treasure is my mustard, if she really needs it in the future, she can help it.

When he returned to Aalto, Louise was still struggling with the exercises. He couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Louise, let's rest and rest today, and practice the piano for a while." โ€

Seeing that Louise's mood was starting to turn bad, he still let her go. Learning is about teaching knowledge and cultivating insight, not about stifling the spirituality of the little ones. In order to exercise her thinking, he even took out a brain teaser, and he took great pains.

On this night, the fellow Xia Feng just crossed over, and encountered the climactic plot of burning the witch, and then discovered the library in the soul. When I was about to study, I heard the voice of the witch's house in the middle of the night, and after reporting to the church, she played a "heroic knight" and was almost beaten to the point of being mentally retarded. At the last moment, he finds the witch's magic book in the library of his soul, and then returns home to find that he is illiterate.

Early the next morning, he got up and went out, ready to familiarize himself with the world first. Guan Mingyu naturally knew where he was going, but there was also a vampire ancestor there, an important supporting role in Rhine.

When he had finished washing, he gave Louise a word of advice, and walked towards the Tavern of the Bronze Crown in Adjean.

The district of Adjean is a slum, very mixed and dirty, and the conditions are very poor, and there are all kinds of gangs breeding in it. All the way through the streets, he soon came to the tavern.

It was a rudimentary tavern with creaking wooden floors and a chaotic mix of tables and chairs. Guan Mingyu sat down before sighing, fortunately he didn't bring Louise over, the environment was really bad. The smell of wine permeated every corner, chaotic and irregular, but it was not the place for a little girl.

He ordered a bottle of ale and began to look quiet.

Soon, a thin boy with black hair and black eyes of sixteen or seventeen years old came in, and it was Lu Xien, a fellow countryman whom Guan Mingyu had seen for a long time. As soon as he walked in, he quickly glanced around. When he saw Guan Mingyu, Guan Mingyu smiled at him and nodded, and Lucien also grinned. After a circle, he found that Guan Mingyu's expression was quite normal in the entire tavern, so he ignored the others and woke up the drunken boss Koen who was lying on the wooden cabinet of the bar.

Cohen, a middle-aged dwarf, quickly started talking to Lucien as he did in the original books. Lucien was looking for a job to support himself, so he came to Cowen at the Coppercrown Tavern. He got the news of two jobs, a small Gucci shop in the market district that needed to get a shipment of goods from a warehouse to the city gate district, and a garbage from the Musicians' Association that needed to be delivered to the Belรฉm River. Then, it was Korn who complained that Lucian's body couldn't complete many tasks at all.

When he was done, Korn began to talk about the adventurers who had entered the Dark Mountains. Guan Mingyu didn't bother to listen, and sat on the chair while drinking and laughing.

"Don't underestimate these mercenaries and adventurers, there are many real knights among them, even big knights. A soft, magnetic voice came to me, with a seductive and elegant feeling. Guan Mingyu looked over there and saw a bewitching, handsome, lazy and elegant man walking in, he was wearing a black coat with a high collar and holding a harp, which was naturally Rhine.

Lucien then began to talk to Rhine, until they talked about Rhine's arrival in Aalto from the ancient kingdom of Syracuse, and the content began to change to the passionate and unrestrained women that men loved.

When Rhine replied, as in the original book, the whole tavern burst into laughter. At this time, Guan Mingyu raised his glass: "Hi, everyone, I prove that Mr. Rhine is really from the ancient kingdom of Syracuse." โ€

Lucien and Rhine both turned around suspiciously, looking at Guan Mingyu, who was wearing a double-row long button-down tuxedo with black hair and black eyes, and didn't know why. At this time, the drunkard staggered at Guan Mingyu with a wine glass and said, "This, this gentleman, who are you, how do you know?"

Guan Mingyu walked down to the center of the arena and picked up his wine glass: "Hey, I'm here from the Holm Kingdom. I know all about Mr. Rhine, who insulted the ladies and ladies of the nobility in the ancient kingdom of Syracuse, and then heard that Aalto was hiding treasures, and came here. โ€

The drunkard whistled even more curiously: "Yes, Aalto is the city of dreams." He mysteriously approached Guan Mingyu, and said in a voice that he thought was very quiet, but the whole audience could hear it: "Hey, tell me, what kind of treasure is it?"

Rhine glanced at Guan Mingyu suspiciously, and found that he didn't know him. Guan Mingyu pushed the drunkard away: "It is said that a devil in hell and a demon in the abyss were sealed here, and they left a lot of good things. โ€

The drunkard cried out, "Oh my God, devils, demons, what good things can they leave behind?"

Guan Mingyu laughed: "They must have a lot of good things, they have hidden the relics of an ancient evil magician, if they get it, they will be developed." โ€

Ignoring Rhine's solemn expression, he threw a golden tale at Korn: "Hey, Korn, bring three glasses of ale to everyone in the audience, I'm in for a treat." โ€

Then he exclaimed, "Hey guys, today I have a treat, for the wonderful experience of Mr. Rhine, let's welcome the new day with joy, a toast." โ€

That's enough to buy ten barrels of ale, and Korn fills everyone with cheap ale. So the whole tavern came alive, and everyone took the free ale and shouted, "Oh, a toast to the good story of Monsieur Rhein and to this generous gentleman." โ€

After the commotion ended, Korn and Lucien started talking again, and Lucien revealed his plan to learn words. Guan Mingyu laughed out loud with the strength of the wine: "Hahaha, Xiao Lucien, if you don't learn, you don't know that you really can't learn." โ€

Lucien was immediately embarrassed, and the otherworldly version of cold and poisonous chicken soup could be met by him, and the poor were really discriminated against. He didn't think much about it, and asked with a smile: "This gentleman, how do you know that I can't learn?"

Guan Mingyu held the wine glass and laughed: "Please call me Mr. James Bond." โ€

Lucien almost popped out, but luckily stopped his expression, a hundred thousand cold exclamation points in his heart.

Guan Mingyu ignored him: "Hey, Lucien, just ask Mr. Rhine, words are very difficult to learn." Grammar, pronunciation, etc., it takes half a year for most people to learn it seriously. Things like more languages, and sinful magical texts are harder to learn. The writing of the ancient Hilfanus Empire is like this, not only is it time-consuming, but you also have to find someone to guide you. โ€

In particular, he pointed to the writings of the ancient Silvanas Empire.

Lucien opened his mouth, not to reveal that he had a soul library, so he had to open his mouth and say, "No matter what, I have to study words well." โ€

Guan Mingyu laughed exaggeratedly: "Look, Lucien, a young man with a dream." Hey, little Lucien, if you come to the kingdom of Holm in the future, you can come to me, and I will take you to eat the best food and drink the highest wine. โ€

He changed his words: "But you have to learn words first, that is very difficult to learn, don't you believe you ask Mr. Rhine?" Rhine smiled slightly and nodded.

Soon, several people ended the exchange with laughter. After a group of drunks drank the free ale, some continued to sleep on the bar, and some started the day with a curse. After saying goodbye to Korn and himself, Lucien began his day's work.

Guan Mingyu didn't stay any longer, and soon walked out of the tavern and walked to the other end of the market area. His body kept moving through the crowd like a swaying rope.

Around the corner of the street behind him, Rhine's body gradually emerged from the air, his bejeweled face looking even more handsome because of doubt. He said to himself, "James Bond?"
