――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Later in the evening, under Manid's guidance, Ellen successfully entered the castle in the center of Rivacheze to find the extremely powerful guide.

As soon as he entered, he saw a guy in a blue coat, with a pen in his hand spinning boringly, sitting behind a desk.

The guy tossed the pen high in the air, and then put it to his lips as if he was going to use it to blow bubbles, and Alleyne almost suspected that he was not in charge here, but a patient who had escaped from some mental hospital.

Manid patted him on the shoulder, "Man, see who I am?"

The steward raised his head and looked at him in a daze, then suddenly stood up and slapped his back vigorously with one hand: "Manid? It's you, long time no see!"

Manid was filmed stumbling. "Stop, I feel like my lungs are going to be shot out by you. ”

The steward laughed, and then asked a series of questions: "Why are you here? I remember that you left in a hurry because you still had a batch of goods that were not sold, and thought that something had happened to your family." Why, what's going to bother me again? Are you getting into trouble out there again?"

Manid waved his hand in embarrassment: "No, no, no, I've recently gone bankrupt......"

When the steward heard this, he immediately covered his pockets and looked at him vigilantly with a pair of small eyes. "Don't try to borrow money from me, I've been having a hard time lately, I'm about to make ends meet, don't think about hitting my dinar!"

Manid looked at him helplessly. "What is on your mind but money, and am I, Manid, such a wealthy man who cares less about friends?"

"Isn't it?" the steward clutched his pockets tighter.

Manid's face was swollen and red, and his eyes were fixed on him.

The steward suddenly let go of his hand. "Haha, it looks like you still can't afford to joke as before. Tell me, what's the matter with you this time?"

Manid's face was slightly better. "We're here to find someone called Mo Tea. “

"What do you mean? "What do you mean the horse thief?" the steward narrowed his eyes, put the tip of the pen in his mouth, and crossed his legs on the table, looking meaningfully at the other party.

"Horse thief?" exclaimed Alleyne and Manid, at the same time.

The steward nodded. "Yes, you don't know about this, that tea took advantage of the fact that a nobleman of the Nord kingdom was not paying attention, and stole all his horses at night, for which the Nord kingdom spent a thousand dinars on the continent to arrest him. ”

"We were at war with Nord, and this guy saw that this was a good place to hide, so he hid here to avoid the limelight. Soon after, King Ragnar and King Yagrolk signed a truce, and we caught him in a small house in the town. The guy didn't admit it at first, but then I found the buyer he had sold the horse without permission, and the man confessed everything. Now he can't afford to rely on tea, and he can only admit that he stole the Nord horse. ”

The steward spat the ground. "If you want me to say that Tea is also an out-and-out fool, everyone knows that the Nords worship infantry, and their horses are thin and small, and they can't carry enough people, how can they be sold for a good price. If you want to steal, you can steal the Swadias and Kujits, where the horses are really fat and strong. ”

Manid glanced at Elleen, who grabbed the steward's hand and shoved 50 dinars into his hand: "Where is he? I want to see him!"

The steward immediately smiled: "Manid, you are really sensible as a subordinate! he is inside, you can go in by yourself." ”

Manid covered his mouth desperately to keep from laughing. Alleyne raised an eyebrow and endured.

Entering the prison, a foul smell wafted out of it, and Alleyne covered his nose with a thin rawhide coat, but the smell was still pervasive and wafted into his nose.

Manid's face was distorted.

Suddenly, a man with a disheveled hair rushed out of it: "Help me, help me!"

As he ran, a foul smell rushed over him. The worst thing is that the stench emanates from him.

Manid's throat moved, and finally he couldn't help it, and he spat out.

Alleyne waved his hand palely. "You stand back, we can't stand the smell of you. As soon as he opened his mouth, he inhaled a large breath of gas, and his whole body became uncomfortable.

The man stepped back a little, then fell to his knees with a thud: "Please, take me away, I can't stand it anymore!"

Manid's face turned green: "Boss, do you really want to save him?"

Alleyne reluctantly said, "It depends...... Are you really tea? the guy who stole the Nord's horse?"

Tea sobbed. "I didn't mean to, I really had no choice but to take the risk of stealing their horses, all because of the situation!"

Alleyne continued: "I heard that you are very good at tracking and are the best guides in this area?"

At the mention of this tea, I became excited. "Of course, I won't find a better guide than me in the whole continent, I can judge from the wind whether it will rain or not, I can also judge from the footprints how many people they have gone, and I can judge from the battlefield a good place for possible ambushes, in short, I can get information from many aspects, I dare say that if a country hires me as a spy, I will definitely do a very good job." “

Alleyne looked at Manid with an inquiring gaze, and he nodded reluctantly.

Mo Tea's whole body trembled. "Hey, I beg you to let me out, I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do!"

Alleyne winked at Manid and exited the prison.

The steward looked at Manid with a pale face and walked out with a calm face: "How is it, the taste inside is not pleasant, right?"

Manid's stomach tumbled and fell to the ground, and all the stomach acid he vomited came out.

The steward had an understandable expression, and then looked at the strange young man: "Brother, are you okay?"

Alleyne nodded, and then asked, "What are you going to do with that tea?"

When the steward heard this, his face changed. "I'm also worried, if I give it to the Nord people like this, I always feel very unwilling. ”

Ellen gritted his teeth and took out another hundred dinars: "What kind of tea did I buy!"

The steward looked at him in amazement. "You want to send him to Nord, well, if you don't mind the stench on him, take him away, it's a burden to stay with us anyway. ”

Manid looked at Mo Maocha, who had just been freed, and closed his eyes fiercely.
