The four men in black rushed in, walked straight to the counter, threw out a silver coin, and said, "Wine." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Neil hurried back to the counter and put the silver coin away.

"We only have wheat wine and brown bread in the store, do you want it?"

"Yes, as soon as possible. ”

After saying that, he went straight to a table and sat down, and sat like this, but there was no conversation.

Neil quickly brought out the wheat wine, and then went to the back kitchen to cut the brown bread.

The people were all shrouded in black robes, and obviously, deliberately changed their voices, so that Neil couldn't know whether the other party was male or female, old or young. However, I will definitely take it off when I eat later.

Neil served the bread and sat back in the chair behind the counter, keeping an eye on the situation. At this time, the mercenaries no longer talked loudly, but silently drank wine. The women who were dressed up in beautiful clothes had also left, after all, it was obvious that they would not be able to do business tonight.

The atmosphere of the tavern became eerie in an instant. The four men in black must have been able to feel it.

One of the men in black squeezed his glass, put the quilt on the table, and looked at the person opposite. The other two also looked at the same time.

The man in black, who was obviously the leader, shook his head, and directly stripped off his black hood, revealing a head of golden curly hair.

It turned out to be a woman!

Seeing this, the other three people also took off their hats, three men, one of whom was in his fifties, and the other two were in their thirties.

"Miss, ・・・・・・ so," the older man asked.

"It's okay, Uncle Green. By the time we got to Stone Town, we were safe. As he spoke, he took a sip of ale wine, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Miss, you have not been in good health since you were a child, so it's best not to drink. Green said, an older warrior.

"Well, I know. The young lady gently shook her golden curls, and then said, "Bourne, George, you can relax." It's been a hard journey. ”

A look of joy appeared on the faces of the two young warriors, and they said at the same time, "Thank you for the compliment, Mademoiselle, this is our duty as knights!" and both of them relieved themselves and drank the wheat wine on the table that had not been touched before.

Green put down the great sword on his back against the chair, and said, "Let's rest here tonight, replenish tomorrow morning, and then continue on our way." I couldn't feel at ease without arriving in Ross City. ”

The blonde lady suddenly looked dark, "Why is this happening?

"Don't be in a hurry, miss. We will definitely avenge the lord and the lady. Green comforted Miss Blonde. The warriors Byrne and George couldn't help but look gloomy when they thought of the dead viscount.

The blonde lady looked at the reflection in the wine glass and whispered, "No, it won't be that simple. That guy in Medellín knew about our relationship with Count Rose in Ross City, and he dared to kill my parents to get a knighthood, and he must have the support of some big man. If that's the case, then the parents' hatred ・・・・・・"

When the three of them heard these words, their tired faces became even more gloomy.

After about half an hour, the men left.

At this time, the old man also got up from the corner. At first he had been pretending to sleep, there was no doubt about it, because every time it was like this, he fell asleep whenever something happened, and woke up when it was done.

The old man patted the clothes on his body that had not been washed for a long time, and said to the remaining mercenaries: "Excuse me, everyone, the Tavern will no longer be open from tonight. Goodbye, guys. ”

Then he turned to Neil and said, "Neil, send off." Then, he walked slowly up to the second floor.

Those mercenaries left very consciously, and they didn't need Neil to send them anymore.

"What the hell is this old man doing?" Neil grumbled as he struggled to clean up the tables and chairs.

"Don't pack up, go to bed early, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

The old man's voice came from the second floor again.

Neil immediately stopped tidying up and went straight upstairs to sleep. Although the old man is very eccentric, there is always a reason for him. As for what the reasoning is, it's not up to Neil to consider.

At dawn the next day, the old man and Neil had already appeared at the entrance of the town, all the way east.

"Are we going to Deep Rock?"

"Uh-huh. It's time to take you out and see, or it'll be too late. ”

I don't know why, Neil, with his intuition of being a human being, thinks that there must be some deep meaning in this sentence. However, it is not clear what it is.

"I've always wanted to ask, can you teach me magic? Neil looked up at the old man, anticipation in his eyes. After all, how could a teenager from the twenty-first century not be interested in mysterious magic? Moreover, Neil knew very well that without mastering the mysterious power of this world, he could only struggle at the bottom of society, and could only be a humble ant forever.

The old man laughed out loud and said, "The main purpose of coming out this time is to teach you magic, and by the way, increase your knowledge below. Speaking of which, you've never been anywhere else except Stone Town since you were a child. ”

"Well, without great power, you can't walk into this world at all. At this time, Neil had the most fundamental understanding in eight years. While thinking, he touched the bone dagger in his arms.

The old man turned his head to look at Neil, who looked up at the old man as well. They kept staring at each other, and it took a long time before they separated.

"Since you were born, I have felt that you are extraordinary, not like a child at all. As he spoke, he chuckled again, "I can't say that since you were born, I knew that you were extraordinary when you were not born." Doomed to be extraordinary. ”

"Can you tell me a little bit about my life?" Neil was curious about his life from birth. After all, although it is said that the protagonist generally has his own halo and his own grandfather. But it's impossible for such a awesome old man to come over for no reason, right?

"What's your full name?"

"Nicholas. "Neil knows, Nicholas is his name, Neil is just a nickname, between acquaintances or relatives.

"Uh-huh, Nicholas. Once you've learned magic, you'll know what the name means. ”

At this, the old man turned his head, touched Neil's head with one hand, and said, "Will you grant one of my wishes?"

"Of course, you are my grandfather, the only relative in this world, no, the whole world. Neil admits this old man from the bottom of his heart, and, because he is an orphan on earth, Neil cherishes this affection even more.

"Hmm. Actually, this is not only my wish, but also your responsibility. I just hope that you, when you know who you are, can fulfill your responsibilities. Promise me, okay?" the old man's eyes were full of anticipation, and Neil's heart trembled.

"Of course, what I crave is a responsibility. "Twenty years of orphans, the pain of not being needed, is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"Also, there's a girl, her name is Lilicia, and you're going to take care of her for me, and of course you can refuse that request. ”

"I promise you. But where is the girl? Are we going to find her?" Neil became more and more puzzled, with the old man's ability, there was a place he could not go, and he had to take care of the girl himself.

"No, not now. When the storm gathers again, you'll be able to see her. She carries a pendant that can be combined with yours as one. That's a key. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

The sound gradually dissipated in the wind, the winding road reached the distance, and the two traveling figures disappeared into the distance・・・・・・
