"What's wrong, guest?"

The bald boss was stared at for a while, and asked Aaron in a hurried tone: "Is there any problem?"

"No, no problem. Aaron put away his gaze and said calmly: "Cooper is a good place, the former Viscount Cooper has a tax about 2 www.biquge.info 0% lower than Viscount Steve, and the civilians are living well." ”

The bald boss was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the 'noble young master' in front of him was actually clear about the local taxes, and this time, the bald boss's heart was even more suspicious-

"Excuse me, where are you from........."

The bald boss pondered his tone for a moment, carefully probing the other party's origin.

Hearing this, the soldiers nearby couldn't help but prick up their ears, and their hearts were also full of curiosity and exploration about this noble young master with a beautiful escort.

You must know that a knight who can subdue a peak/quasi-peak realm, or such a beautiful and young beautiful girl knight, the power behind this noble young master is definitely not low.

At least the aristocratic power above the 'Grand Duke' (the Grand Duke with an independent principality)!

This is the real reason why the soldiers in the hall do not dare to act rashly, they talk about each other privately at most, but they dare not do anything wrong.

Otherwise, they won't even be able to pass the first level of that girl's guard!

You must know that their captains are only official knights, and they will definitely not be able to defeat the other party's maiden guards, not to mention, they are a group of ordinary soldiers who are not even quasi-knights.

Aaron felt the gaze of other people, and the emotions of envy, contempt, and jealousy, but he didn't care about it, and responded with a smile: "I am ........."

"Once a local. ”

"Poof.... Hahaha.... Hahahaha!"

The soldiers next to him immediately laughed, as if they had heard the most absurd joke, and this time, the bald boss couldn't help but shake his head: "This young master, don't joke with me, even if you say that you are the former Chino royal family, I will choose to believe you." ”

"But you actually say you're a local.........

The bald boss had a laughing and crying expression: "This statement is a bit outrageous, I have never heard that local man is the son of a great nobleman - you must be the son of a great nobleman." Because, even Count Bell can't recruit a powerful female knight above the quasi-peak realm, not to mention, you have the right to take a female escort out to play field .........."

After saying that, the bald boss made a 'you know' expression, obviously not believing Aaron's words.

"Well, you're really observant. ”

Aaron showed a helpless look, he told a lot of lies on weekdays, and it was rare to tell the truth, but no one wanted to believe himself........

Aaron was just a young city guard at the time, and he wore a helmet most of the time, and there weren't many acquaintances who knew him in the town of Doron, and with the loss of population caused by the war, it was no wonder that no one recognized him.

"We don't talk about it anymore. ”

Aaron saw that he was almost chatting with the bald boss, and finally asked the real question: "Boss, since you are from Cooper Territory, you also passed by Cooper Castle when you came all the way to Dorontown, right?"

Cooper Castle is located within Cooper's territory, close to Leo's territory.

When Aaron and Steve fled the war, they deliberately took a detour to Cooper's territory in order to avoid the main border of the Kalas Empire, which was equivalent to a zigzag journey.

If you don't take a detour, it's like Aaron walking all the way from the port of Covo, he will first reach the town of Dolon, and then the real target, Cooper Castle, the mysterious place where he got the 'Vertical Pupil' in the first place.

Aaron said so much to the bald boss just to inquire about the situation at Cooper Castle.

Surprisingly, the bald boss shook his head and denied Aaron's speculation -

"No, I didn't pass by Cooper Castle .........."

The bald boss's face showed a look of doubt: "The surroundings of Cooper's castle have been sealed off by Count Bell's order, and any pedestrians have to choose a detour, so I made a big detour before finally coming to Dolong Town." ”

"Earl Bell ordered the blockade of Cooper Castle?" Aaron's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked, "Do you know the specific reason for the blockade?"

The bald boss shook his head: "I don't know, after Count Bell took in the Cooper Domain, he immediately ordered the area around Cooper Castle to be cordoned off and no one was allowed to approach it-I don't know the specific reason for the blockade." ”

Apparently, the bald boss is just an ordinary person and doesn't know the real reason why Count Bell is blockading the castle.

"I see. ”

Aaron understood what the bald boss meant: "After Count Bell got Cooper's territory, he chose to block the former Cooper Castle for unknown reasons.........."

Aaron reached out and banged on the table, remembering Derek's words about "Secrets of the Forest" when he was in the Vincennes Empire.

"The fog event recorded in the book "Forest Secrets" occurred about seventeen or eighteen years ago. ”

"At that time, I was a young man, and when I heard this rumor, I couldn't help but think in my heart that I wanted to try my luck in the forest. ”

When Derek spoke, his tone was full of emotion: "Fortunately, there were not many forest fogs on the Moon Wheel Continent at that time, not every place had fog rumors, and even, some countries did not have a forest fog once. ”

"The same was true of the Vincennes Empire, where there was no forest fog during that month. ”

"However, I was very interested in the forest mist, and I secretly gathered some information, and it is said that several races that appeared in the mist, they seemed to be looking for something. ”

"Of course, I don't know what they're looking for, it could be an object, it could be a creature, it could be more than a unit of quantity...........

"Anyway, that's all I know. ”

Dodo.........

Aaron continued to bang on the table, trying to recall Derek's words, vaguely feeling that he had captured some clue, but unfortunately, this 'thought' did not give him a glimpse of the whole picture of history.

At this time, Aaron is like a small animal in the tube, and he is still in a hazy state of cognition of the true appearance of the whole incident............

"Looks like I'm going to have to get ready to go tomorrow. ”

Aaron drank the hot butterbeer in his glass in one gulp, touched the hot sweat on his forehead, and just as he was about to go upstairs to 'take a shower', there was a commotion upstairs.

"Hell, the quality of this broken town's wine seller is just inferior, and rolling a sheet still makes Lao Tzu with plaster and dye!"

(PS: Plaster and common dyes were more popular cosmetics in the Middle Ages, commonly found among women of the lower classes.) ）

With a curse, a burly man came down from the upper floor, and the next moment, he and Aaron met eye contact.

"Bruce (Aaron)?!"

Both exclaimed at the same time.
