The free city-state of Mfei, which broke away from the Duchy of Haq 40 years ago and was finally recognized by the Sephardo Kingdom as the first free city-state under the rule of the kingdom, is surrounded by mountains on three sides, is located on the eastern border of the kingdom, and has been a transportation artery since ancient times.

The west of the city-state is the territory of the kingdom, the north and south sides are surrounded by mountains, but there is a large canyon between the mountains in the east that leads directly to the mountains, according to legend, there are two ancient warriors who fought here, a blow through the mountains, forming this terrain, because the place where the city-state is located is surrounded by mountains, dense forests, legend has it that there are relics left by ancient sages between these mountains, so the city-state of Mufei is full of all kinds of mercenaries, thieves, criminals, before the official establishment of the city-state, it can be said that it is a paradise for criminals, some people find ancient ruins in the mountains, become famous overnight, and some people disappear overnight, and all kinds of murder and treasure snatching bridges are staged here in turn。

It wasn't until the appearance of the first lord of the city-state, Duke Rhineke, that the situation improved to a certain extent, before he became a duke, Rhineke was only a knight sent by the kingdom to investigate here, during his investigation, he found an ancient ruins, and found all kinds of magic left by the last era, including the lost skill of magic weapons, the kingdom got this lost skill, and immediately summoned the master foundry in the kingdom, and after several months of research and exploration, finally achieved some results, the kingdom immediately armed its own knights and deterred the principalities under its rule with the training of soldiers, and stabilized the kingdom's dominance over other principalities。

The three principalities led by the Duchy of Rhine themselves disdained the rule of the kingdom, relying on the mercenaries before the free city-state of Mufei, the power of antiquity in the ruins that the thieves were looking for, after the Duke of Rhinege found the ancient ruins, Sephardic III secretly cooperated with the Duke of Rhineke to seize the right to speak in the city-state, Duke Rhineck united the second largest family in the city-state and the largest mercenary group at that time, and took advantage of the night to eliminate the largest family in the city-state at that time, the Reigu family supported by Duke Huck, and declared the independence of the free city-state of Mufei on the second day, before Duke Huck's statement was publishedThe Sephar Kingdom declared the legitimacy and legitimacy of the city-state, and politically had the same power and status as other principalities, and thus the free city-state of M'fei was officially established.

Forty years later, the city is still a mix of fish and dragons, the people are fierce, the martial arts are abundant, and the enthusiasm for the ruins in the mountains is still high. But its geography dictates its disorder, criminals just run from the city to the mountains, they still exist, they are still the biggest threat to the city-state, they are always a threat to the mercenaries who go into the mountains to hunt for treasures and the travelers who are on the road.

On this day, a child calmly ran into a tavern in the corner of the city, where mercenaries and some unidentified guests would drink every day, shouting loudly, exchanging information in their hands, or meeting up in a team to explore the ruins in the mountains, but it is unknown how many people will return. The proprietress of the tavern was a plump lady, and there were a few young waitresses, who accompanied the drinkers to gag, and it was hard to say who took advantage of whom.

The proprietress saw the child running in and laughed "What, I'm being chased here again" The child didn't speak, and ran straight to the backyard of the tavern, the child just ran to the backyard, and the door of the tavern was knocked open by a group of children, led by a slightly older child, about thirteen or fourteen years old, the head of the child looked a little embarrassed, the socket of the right eye was a little bruised, and the face was also a little bruised, and the child shouted viciously, "What about that little bastard? The proprietress looked at the group of children and smiled, "Why are the young masters so angry, do you want to drink a cup to extinguish the fire." The child glanced at the proprietress and didn't speak, "Hmm, what do you want to drink?" the proprietress continued. Then the first child spoke, "Drink your milk." The surrounding drinkers began to coax, "Okay, little ghost, at a young age, you know the best food in this world, and you have a good eye." The proprietress was not annoyed when she heard this, but narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Okay, come over and let my sister hurt you well." As he spoke, he straightened up the towering mountain in front of him, and immediately there was a sound of saliva around him. The child looked at the proprietress and suddenly remembered the advice of the elders in the family, turned his head and walked towards the outside of the tavern, and the rest of the children saw that their eldest was gone, and also followed Huhula out of the tavern.

The proprietress continued to shout, "A few young masters, come back next time." After a group of children ran to the tavern, they ran all the way to the corner of the street before stopping, and a skinny child asked, "Boss, let's just go, that little bastard must be in the tavern." The child at the head said angrily, "We can't mess with that stinky woman, don't worry, that little bastard can't run there, there are many opportunities to clean him up." With that, a group of people left the street.

In the tavern, the proprietress shouted into the backyard, "Aven, come out, everyone is gone." The kid named Evan came out of the backyard and sat directly on a stool at the counter, giving the proprietress a slightly flattering smile, "Thank you, Aunt May." Aunt Mei handed him a glass of water and asked, "What's the matter?" "They should be beaten, and I will teach them a lesson for the elders of their family." "Yo Yo Yo, the tone is not small, then how did you get chased here, let them?" "No, there are many of them, and two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and besides, my master doesn't allow me to fight, and I don't dare to fight too hard, so I ran here." ”

Aunt Mei suddenly leaned forward and asked with a smile, "Or is it because of that little girl, who went to the hero to save the beauty again?" How do I remember that when you first came here, that little girl was bullied by you every day." What's the matter?? ”

"Who do you like?" As soon as the child's voice fell, a soft voice came from behind him and asked, and the child immediately turned around and saw a face that was almost touching his face, and the child's already red face suddenly turned even redder. The child fell straight from the chair and stammered, "How did you get here?" "I'll come to see you, and what did you just say, who likes whom?" The girl's gossip heart was still high, and she continued to ask. Aunt May laughed loudly when she saw the child fall from the chair, and when she heard the girl's words, she said, "Sharon, Aven said he liked you, he just told me, didn't he, Avan?" Sharon's eyes lit up when she heard Aunt May's words, and she lowered her head and laughed shallowly. Ai Wen stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, "Sharon, don't listen to Aunt Mei's nonsense, I actually ......" The girl looked up at him after hearing the boy's words, "Actually, what?" The boy opened his mouth and didn't speak, and a tall man with resolute eyes came in the door of the tavern, the man was wearing a standard armor, with a knight's sword at his waist, looking restrained but with a little edge, the man's name was Patrick, and he was Aivan's master.

Before the child's words could be spoken, he saw his master, and immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Master, this, here." As soon as the man entered the door, he saw his apprentice and a little girl standing at the counter, and after hearing the child's greeting, he walked over and put the package behind him on the counter first, "Melissa, I'm bothering you again, this kid has caused a lot of trouble these days." Before Aunt Mei could speak, the child preemptively said, "No, master, I've been very well-behaved these days, and I haven't caused any trouble, I don't believe you asked Aunt Mei, right, Aunt Mei" After the child finished speaking, he looked at Aunt Mei and blinked vigorously. The man looked at the child's performance and had some understanding in his heart, Aunt Mei looked at the child's eyes and said, "Well, it really didn't cause any trouble, just a little trouble, this is not a hero to save the beauty, and brought people to me." ”

When the child heard Aunt Mei's words, he immediately felt that his head was a little big, and he only felt that he might be unlucky, but he didn't expect the man to say anything after hearing it, but just touched the child's head, then smiled at the little girl, picked up the package and said, "Aiwen, go home, something to say to you." Then he turned to the proprietress and said, "Grab two bottles of wine." Aunt Mei looked at the man suspiciously, the man felt Aunt Mei's eyes, and shook his head apologetically, the little girl thought that Ai Wen was going to be beaten, and immediately pleaded, "Uncle Pat, Ai Wen fought with those children to help me, don't blame him for being good, please." The man looked down at the little girl and pleaded, "I won't hit him, don't worry, it's just something to say to him, I'll let him go and play with you tomorrow." "Hmm," the little girl replied loudly. The man looked at Aunt Mei and handed the child two bottles of wine and said, "Next time, let's tie it together." ”

Then turned around and left, Ai Wen said goodbye to Aunt Mei and the little girl with the wine, and followed his master out of the tavern, the master and apprentice had nothing to say along the way, the child looked at his master and felt that the master was very preoccupied, and the child didn't know what to say if he wanted to speak. When he got home, the child pushed open the door and walked to the living room, put the wine on the only table in the living room, and then waited for his master to speak. The child didn't seem to react, and was stunned, "Ah?" the man repeated softly, "Lord Daisy has died." The child's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he walked out of the house with a sigh, and then sat in the courtyard and looked up at the sky in a daze. The man sighed heavily when he saw the child's reaction, and his thoughts seemed to go back to that day four years ago.
