In order to celebrate the upcoming Sickle Festival and the harvest that was evident to all, the mayor himself took the lead in pooling the money, and the villagers reluctantly squeezed the last copper horn out of their shriveled purse, and with the permission of the lord, the baron's agricultural officer summoned a regular troupe from a nearby city.

However, the greedy deacon hired a third-rate circus for less than half the price, recruited a harp-playing bard from the mercenary guild, found a self-taught magician in a street tavern, and began to "parade" around the territory in a grand manner, demanding that other villages pay as well.

Unlike their parents, the young villagers in the town often went to the nearby cities to work for a short time during the slack time, and had seen a lot of the world, so they were not fooled by the tricks of the agricultural officials, but for the division of their own land for the next year, they had to swallow their anger, and even had to squeeze out a smile and give the performers warm applause.

It was at this time that the wandering mage approached the town, but his good luck seemed to run out, and he was spotted by vigilant sentry guards as he approached the "moat" in front of the town.

On the contrary, the long-trained watchdog seemed to smell the terrible aura on Lu Bin's body, his ears drooped and stuck to his head, and his tail clamped without any reaction.

Guards from the town hall came out of the dark corners of the sentry posts, staggered left and right, and bent their bows and arrows, aiming at strangers who were approaching the town in the night.

The direction he came from was clearly a dangerous wilderness, and he dared to walk through alone, and he must be a dangerous person not to be underestimated.

Lu Bin couldn't understand the guard's shouts, for the sake of safety, he took out the "spell book" on his back with his left hand, and opened the home page to see the battle mark of the cross of the two swords on the career card.

"I said, "No, no. ”

The wandering mage took a half-step forward, and with a "whoosh", the feathered arrow that was ready to fire shot diagonally in front of him.

This arrow was by no means missed, and the meaning of the warning was even stronger, but it made Lu Bin's heart cold, and he didn't even think about opening his right hand, revealing the runes in his palm, consuming a little mana, and erecting an "indestructible" force field wall.

Seeing that the stranger did not listen to dissuasion, and fearlessly revealed unknown means, another guard immediately aimed at him in the chest.

With a "snap", the iron arrow elbowed in front of the stranger, as if hitting an invisible wall, instantly breaking into several knots and falling to the ground.

The guard himself was dumbfounded, but another slightly older colleague was vaguely aware of the identity of the comer, grabbed the horn tied to his belt, and blew it vigorously to warn his companions at the nearby town office.

Lu Bin, who did not understand the language and was difficult to communicate, and did not understand the rules and acted rashly, successfully attracted the attention of the rest town, and with the blowing of the assembly call, a team of twelve guards jumped out of the town office on duty, although the clothes were a little untidy, the weapons and equipment were not pulled down.

They rushed up the three-man wall in order, looking down at the wandering mage who had taken off his hood and revealed his black-haired and black-eyed face, with a few broken arrows and even a shattered applewood javelin at his feet, and he himself was unscathed.

Claude, the captain of the guard, did his duty, but he could not ignore the strangers outside the town who showed the skills of the spellcaster.

The companions around him, with the help of the swaying fire of the guard wall blown by the night wind, Claude could see their expressions, three points were nervous, three points were overwhelmed, and the rest were dazed.

In front of the invisible force field wall that common sense cannot explain, normal ordinary people would behave like this, even the captain of the town hall guard, a former mercenary who was said to have been hit by an arrow in the knee, his performance was not much better.

Claude looked sideways at his companion who had retired with him, and it was necessary to consult him for advice on his experience of teaming up with spellcasters, but years of living in Rest Town had smoothed out the temper of the veteran mercenary, and he thought carefully before responding.

"This matter is still left to the big guys. ”

Claude nodded slightly, he also had this idea in his heart, and looked around left and right: "You guys, who is going to invite the mayor here?"

Everyone in the guards, you look at me, I look at you, after a round of silent competition, everyone's eyes are on the youngest senior, the new recruit from the Free People, Hawke.

"It's me again. ”

I was wailing in my heart, but the pressure brought by the eyes of my companions, thinking that I would have to mix in the guard in the future, Hawke could only appoint and take the initiative to stand up and accept the captain's orders.

It didn't take long for the mayor to arrive in a hurry, and his goal was most obvious in the crowd of jugglers in the amphitheater, not only to be well-dressed, but also to be surrounded by sycophants of the villagers, so that Hawke, a member of the guard, could only signal as close as he could.

A spellcaster who was in a hurry at night was blocked at the entrance to the town, and the two sides even exchanged hands, but the stranger showed more restraint.

Knowing what had just happened, the mayor couldn't help but stand up, and when he heard Hawke's narration, he immediately pushed away the crowd around him, pretending to leave the venue as if nothing had happened, and then ran away regardless of his identity, heading in the direction of the entrance to the town.

When the mayor arrived at the guard, he saw the glittering runes in the palms of the strange visitors, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and when his eyes moved to the ground, the broken arrows and the javelins that had burst into wooden strips, his heart began to panic.

The only good news is that the caster himself is very restrained and does not get angry when he is offended, but unfortunately the two sides do not understand each other's language.

Knowing that the longer the time dragged the floor, the more difficult it would be to end the game, the mayor first calmed down to stabilize the emotions of the people around him, and then ordered his personal attendants to sit in the hanging basket and negotiate.

Who knew that the usually obedient and sensible male waiter shook his head desperately and waved his hand to refuse, and in desperation, the mayor's eyes fell on the first team captain.

Claude also didn't want to bear the wrath of the spellcaster that might exist, so he learned from the mayor to shirk his responsibilities, and soon the youngest member of the team, Hawke, became everyone's attention.

"It's me again!"

Ten thousand unrepeatable swear words spewed out wildly, but in order to keep his job and the family behind him, Hawke had to sit in a rattan basket pulled by hemp rope and was slowly lowered to the ground by his guard companions.

Lu Bin didn't put away the defensive runes, watching the guards of the town approach empty-handed, and gently bowed his forehead, Hawke hurriedly stretched out his right hand, and bowed with two fingers in return in return.

Not showing hostility is a good start, and a good start is half the battle!

The two people who didn't understand the language communicated with easy-to-understand gestures, and not only Hawke, who negotiated in person, but even the mayor of the guard wall, as well as the members of the guard, saw that the caster who came through the night had no malicious intent.

"Lower the drawbridge, open the gates, rest the guards of the town, and welcome the mage. ”

The mayor of the town gave the order immediately, and he saw that the young wandering mage was a young chick who had come from the wilderness for some unknown reason, and decided to please him as much as possible, or at least to end the hostilities.

The interaction between Lu Bin and the town's guards was not over, and the sound of the winch slowly turning was heard, and the suspension bridge across the water was slowly lowered, paving a smooth road into the town.
