Anna frowned and looked at Maffeo behind Elias. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoA few minutes ago, I had told the other party to never set foot in my tavern again, but the other party seemed to have completely forgotten about it. "Guest, you're no longer welcome here. She said disapprovingly to Maffeo, who was following Elias.

"Don't do that, my dear Anna, I invited him in. Elias walked over to the counter, gently took Anna's right hand, and kissed the back of her hand.

"Wow, it's amazing that the captain of Oscent would come here in person. Anna quipped. "And with a ghost swordsman, are you the master of the demon instead?"

"Can you get me a schnitzel and apple pie? plus a cup of tequila. Elias didn't pay attention to Anna's teasing, and he turned back to Maffeo and asked. "Would you like something to drink, Maffeo?"

"A glass of milk is all it takes. Maffeo whispered that Anna was the fuse of the explosives, and she was very unhappy with her reappearance, so she tried not to provoke her.

Anna frowned and said angrily, "Your friend is really rude. ”

"He doesn't drink, I don't think he meant to be rude. Elias laughed.

"The words of the captain of the Aucente garrison are always irrefutable. Anna smiled helplessly, took out a plate and wine glass from under the counter and began to prepare.

"Come on, Fry. Elias led Maffeo to a table. The mess caused by the riots here has been cleaned up by Anna, and she just wants to run her tavern in peace. For those who are happy to cause trouble, she doesn't mind kicking them out of her tavern. She is never short of guests, and usually some of them will be rude to sensitive parts of their body. Because no matter where you are, there are very few taverns where the owner is a young woman.

"She just said Osente, what is that?" said Maffeo with a thumbs up and pointed to the counter.

"That's the name of the town, named by His Majesty Heinrich. Our lovely Emperor is strange, isn't it?" he teased His Majesty Heinrich, but there was no disrespect in his tone. But it was clear that he knew about the third princess, Isabella, who had been kidnapped by the Legion of Oracles, because he looked a little worried after saying this.

"Is there anything bothering you?" asked Maffeo, seeing his expression.

Elias then smiled and shook his hand, "It's nothing, it's just that something has happened recently. ”

Maffeo nodded thoughtfully, he didn't know what the other party was worried about. He had never been interested in the dispute between the Revolutionary Army and the Empire, so he didn't guess what the other side was bothered about. "The town is full of life, and I love it, even though it's unpopular for guys like me to go everywhere. ”

"You're right. Anna's voice came from the side, and she gently placed the plate on the table. He took Elias's food and the cup of tequila from his plate and placed them in front of Elias, then took the milk off the plate and turned away. She didn't put the milk in front of Maffeo herself, and if a demon couldn't even do such a small thing, then he didn't deserve to be called a demon.

"Don't worry, she's just annoyed by being in the tavern all the time. Believe me, she has absolutely no hatred for ghost swordsmen like you. Elias laughed, picked up his knife and fork and began to cut the schnitzel.

"I'm used to it. Maffeo took a sip of milk.

"So, where are you from?"

"I spent the first dozen years of my life in Wille, and then I went to Huttonmar and the West Coast. On the West Coast, my companions and I explored Castle in the Sky, a place of danger and beauty. Eventually, I came here from a port on the West Coast. "Maffeo seems to be telling his life.

Elias nodded slightly, "I've heard of Sky City, and I've heard about what happened on the West Coast a few months ago. It's full of dangerous magical lifeforms, isn't it?"

"That's true, they cost a lot of the guys who explored it, and there's nothing more to regret than that. ”

"Because life is the most precious thing at all times, isn't it?"

Maffeo has a little bit of a crush on this guy, he doesn't look like most guys in the Empire. Always seeing killing as the first goal of life, they are a group of maniacs who love war. They have their own position, and they are absolutely loyal to the Delos Empire. They want to settle everything and then take the entire continent into the pockets of the Delos Empire, but they never think about the ordinary people who are in the middle of the war.

"Where are you from?" were always reciprocal, and Elias didn't mind telling Maffeo about her life. "I'm from Tours, in the north of the empire, near the Rustru Mountains, where it snows almost most of the year. Then, when I was ten years old, I left my hometown to study swordsmanship at the Vital Capital of the Empire. By the time I graduated, the First Battle of the Eritar River also broke out. My father was a local lord of Tours, and he came here because of the expansion of the empire. Elias pointed to the ground.

"Did you come with your father?" asked Maffeo.

"After graduating from a public sword academy, I had the opportunity to join the Knights and fight for the Empire, but I chose to assist my father. You know, it's hard to make such a decision, because it means giving up a lot of honors, which is almost equivalent to the life of a knight. He had a look of regret, but he didn't regret it. Everyone has their own choices and their own different philosophies. Blackburn, who was also an Imperial man, turned a blind eye to honor, and only wanted to pursue what he felt was meaningful.

"Sometimes, I miss my hometown. It's a long way from here, and the climate is completely different. But I have reason to believe that I will be better off here, and I have completely dismissed the idea of going to the front to fight. Elias's knife and fork moved back and forth as he spoke.

"Everyone has a choice to make. Maffeo could understand what the other man meant.

Anna's reminder came from the counter, and she thought Elias would need to eat the cold flossing steak after a while. Since Elias hadn't touched the food in front of him at all during the conversation, he began to finish his food after thanking Anna. He couldn't stay here for long, and there was still a lot of business for him to attend to in the inner city. Maffeo knew that as the son of a lord, he might not have the opportunity to have as easy as most unburdened people.

"But I have to warn you, Fry. It's not a good thing that you're coming to Ruava at this time. ”

"Why do you say that?" asked Maffeo, confused.

"Actually, the guys known as the Violent Raiders for two months have caused some riots on the island, and they are also the ones who led to the idea of a rebellion in the Thieves' Guild here. There was a hint of helplessness in Elias's tone.

"Brutal Raiders, what's that?" Maffeo doesn't have any affection for this kind of organized group right now, and they always like to make strange things or cause some misfortune to people.

"A group that preaches both the protection of the apostles and the extermination of the apostles, I don't know, I only know that this strange behavior of theirs is due to the different factions within. I think you should know the Apostle, Shylock, that monster. ”

"I know. Maffeo nodded, he was no more familiar with the Apostle. And in fact, there was now a strange woman who claimed that she would definitely have something to do with the apostles, and he hoped that it was just Alice's gibberish, but there was always a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Elias put the knife and fork down and wiped the grease from his mouth with a napkin. Although he is a nobleman, he doesn't seem to care much about the demeanor of some nobles. Of course, that's only for informal occasions. Talking to a stranger in a tavern like this is not a formal occasion. "The rhetoric they've spread here has affected some people, and the Thieves' Guild wants to vent its grievances through the rebellion. We've got to be vigilant, these guys could be on the move at any moment. ”

"I'll take notice. Maffeo thanked Elias for the reminder. "Actually, I want you to be able to help me with one thing. ”

"I'll do my best. ”

"I'm looking for a guy named Ham Rogers, and I have a letter for him. ”

"Ham Rogers?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Elias's expression turned strange, which also made Maffeo puzzled.

Elias sighed and said slowly, "He is the leader of the local revolutionary army, are you sure you want to find him?"

"What? how could it be?" said Maffeo.

"Didn't you even know about this guy before you sent the letter?" asked Elias.

"I don't know. ”

"I don't know where they might be because we have a hostile relationship with them. I hate to say that, but Maffeo, try not to make contact with those guys. They and the Legion of the Oracle had robbed one of our three-masted galleons half a year earlier, and that was a great loss for us. My father offered to cooperate, believing that our long-standing dispute was not good for the development of the place, but the guys rejected my father's proposal. They also claimed to cut off his head, what a hopeless bunch of bastards. This surprised Maffeo again, he had only heard that Natalia had done some crazy things, but he didn't expect that Captain Root had thought that the guys on the island would be the ones who assisted in this move. He was also worried that these guys would be purged by the Imperial Army, how ridiculous it seemed now. Even though it was just Elias's words, Maffeo had no doubt that these guys would do such a thing because of some kind of antagonism that he couldn't understand.

"I don't want to get involved with those crazy people, but I want to do my job. Maffeo pulled the letter out of his pocket, but Elias didn't mean to read it. He pondered, trying to think of a perfect solution. Maffeo, on the other hand, tries to maintain his neutrality and does not easily get involved in disputes between the two sides.

"I'm sure these guys will show up when the Thieves' Guild rebels. That's your chance, remember, and leave Ham Rogers as soon as you hand him the letter. He's a ruthless guy and it's hard for me to guarantee that he doesn't do something. Elias suggested.

"Agreed, thank you, Captain Meyer. Maffeo nodded.

Time did not allow Elias to stay here too long, and after greeting Maffeo and Anna, Elias left the tavern. He still has a lot of things to deal with, especially now that Osente may have hidden dangers, he will be even busier.

Maffeo pulled the letter out of his pocket and gritted his teeth. "Hell, Aiden, why didn't you find out who you were sooner......"
