Count Clark is a very famous nobleman in the city of Khakier, he has been in the city for more than 20 years, but his appearance seems to have not changed, still in his forties, it is said that even the queen of the kingdom of Pru once visited his house to seek his secret recipe.

In fact, few people know that Clark is actually over 120 years old, and the reason why his appearance has not changed is because he is a member of a special group - a wizard, to be exact, a low-level apprentice who has drawn three magic patterns.

On this day, Clark was sorting out documents in the study, and it was the day of transporting apprentices to the wizarding continent once every decade, and he was relatively busy during this time.

"Knock knock!" was a knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed as a knight in armor walked in, his boots tapping on the floor with the sound of heavy footsteps.

He came to Clark's desk, pressed his left chest with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, there is an old man at the gate of the manor who said he wants to see you. ”

"Old man?" Clarke, who was flipping through the papers, asked without raising his head, "Which family's?" Just arrange for the patriarch to handle these things, and tell him that I am not available. ”

"Uhh Just an ordinary old man..."

Clark paused, he looked up at the knight in surprise, and waited for the rest of the day, knowing that his knight could not come to amuse him for no reason.

The knight hurriedly got up, took out a stone ancient coin, and respectfully handed it to Clark's desk: "The old man, he brought this." ”

Clark's gaze froze slightly.

He put down the papers in his hand, sat up straight, and asked, "What kind of old man is it?"

The knight replied in detail: "He looks like he is about seventy years old, he has a big sword on his back, his body looks quite tough, he is stronger than an ordinary old man, his subordinates estimate that he should be a knight, he said his name is Merlin." ”

"Merlin?" Clark muttered a little puzzled, to make sure he hadn't heard the name, he touched the ancient coin, then put it away, muttered for a moment, and said, "Arrange for him to wait for me in the reception room, be polite." ”

According to the principle of equivalent exchange, the wizard accepts the resources of other wizards, and it is time to satisfy the demands of other wizards.

"Yes. The knight nodded, paused, and added, "Do you need to notify the law enforcement team?"

The Enforcement Team is another division of the Blacktower in Northland, usually composed of knights, who are mainly responsible for finding wanted criminals who have fled here.

"No need. Clark shook his head, although the law enforcement team lived on the estate, it was not his job to catch the prisoners.

Sitting on the soft leather sofa, Roshi held the water glass in both hands, and stared at the fire burning in the fireplace not far from the coffee table without blinking, to relieve his inner anxiety.

Although he secretly judged that he was not on the blacklist of the Black Tower at present, but after all, this is the territory of the Black Tower, and Luo Xi will inevitably be a little nervous in his heart, and he will always be unable to help but think in his mind that the Black Tower has found out that he stole the heart of the strange baby, and has sent someone to start investigating his fall into the sea.

"Da-da-da-da. ”

At this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open by the waiter outside the door, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in.

A button-down shirt with a white lace collar underneath, a pair of slender black trousers, and a pair of black high leather boots, typical of a gentleman.

Roche stood up and politely said, "Hello, Earl Clark. ”

Clark raised his hand, sat down on the opposite side of the coffee table, and then said with a smile: "Those etiquettes in the mortal world are waived, our time is precious, please tell me anything about me, Lord Merlin." ”

Wizards would feel each other's elemental fluctuations, and the first time Clark entered the reception room, he determined the identity of the old man in front of him.

Nodding, Roshi explained, "That's right, it happened three years ago when I was passing through the Marghera Islands on a sailing boat..."

Roshi explained the ins and outs of the matter to Clark, and in order to increase the reasonableness, except for the fact that he came out of the Black Tower to take an ordinary sailing ship, and the mysterious island was replaced by him to an unknown uninhabited island, nothing else has changed.

After listening to Roshi's description, Clark opened his mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "This experience of yours is really amazing. ”

After a pause, he then frowned and asked, "The purpose of your search for me is to return to the Wizarding Continent on the Black Tower's sailboat, right?"

This is a special excuse that Roch has come up with in order to lower Clark's vigilance.

Nodding, Roshi admitted: "Yes, I have heard my mentor mention that every ten years on the Northland continent will transport a group of children to the wizarding continent, and the family that uses unicorns as totems along the coast is the liaison of the Black Tower, which is also the only way to go back." ”

The matter of the liaison is not a secret in the Wizarding Continent, and Luo Xi's statement is naturally reasonable.

Clark shook his head and gave Roshi a regretful expression, he said, "It's a pity, Lord Merlin, you're late, the ship to the Wizarding Continent has just left for a month. ”

"Ahh ”

"I'm sorry. Clark said

Roshi then frowned, "So, Your Excellency, what about the other contacts?, is their ship still there, and how long will it take to leave the port recently?"

Clark shook his head: "I'm sorry, your mentor doesn't know much, our liaison is acting in unison, and all ships are going to sea at a fixed time." ”

Speaking of which, Clark had already gotten up and began to give Roshi an eviction order: "Okay, that's it, you can come back in ten years." ”

Clark had answered several questions from Roshi, none of which were insignificant, but they were enough to offset the value of the peso, and he was under no obligation to continue the conversation with Roshi, according to the principle of equivalent exchange.

"Wait, Lord Count. Roshi stopped Clarke, who was about to leave, took two steps forward, and then asked, "Do you have a low-level meditation potion here?" I would like to trade with you to exchange for ten years of low-level meditation potion. ”

"Deal?" Clark turned, "What's your chip?"
