Chapter 11 / Life in the Mist

Su Zuo was mentally prepared for Gart's reaction, and since he had made up his mind, no matter whether Gart was angry, angry, silent, or angry and laughing, he was ready and carried it down.

And it's not like he's without a way out, anyway, the sheriff is still here, if Suzo feels that he really provoked Galt, then he can tell the sheriff directly, it's not a big deal to pick up the burden from Nolan Ji.

Anyway, he was hated by Galt because he spoke for the sheriff, and the two sheriffs said that they would have to take care of him and at least help him arrange a new place to stay.

Although Su Zuo was a little reluctant to be separated from Wolf Xue, especially the old guy in the basement, he finally got the ink and quills according to his requirements, and he had to run away before he could get any benefits from him, which was also a pity.

As Suzo pondered uneasily, Gart remained silent.

The black pupils stared at Suzo quietly for a while, and Gart looked at Cromwell, shrugged his shoulders calmly, reversing his previous disdain and arrogance.

"Looks like I miscalculated. ”

Cromwell smiled and raised his right hand, bowed his head slightly, and made a "please" gesture.

"Looks like so. ”。

Surprisingly, in Galter's somewhat bland reaction, the consultation between the Raven Golden Lock and the security department on the details of the security cooperation was quickly concluded.

The two sheriffs left after the meeting, and although they were worried about whether the crow-like man was planning to settle accounts after the fall, Suzo was still determined to stay.

Of course, with the sheriff gone, there was no need for him to stay in the VIP room. For Su Zuo's previous abruptness, Gart didn't say anything, waved his hand, and let him leave.

Standing alone at the window and looking out, Gart watched as the two sheriffs got into the carriage and drifted away, shaking goblets full of red wine and looking into the distance with thoughtful eyes.

Just then, his deputy, Middle, pushed the door open and walked in, with a modest smile on his face, his eyes searching the somewhat dimly lit room, and then resting on Gart's back.

"The negotiation is hard, do you want to have some supper?"

Gart didn't turn around, but replied a little incorrectly: "I thought that kid would be more calm and ruthless, but did he miscalculate......

There was a magical device in a corner of the VIP room that could be snooped on, so Middell knew exactly what Gart was referring to: "Wouldn't that be better? ”

Gart frowned, and finally turned around, with a slight complaint in his tone: "If it weren't for that kid, I could at least get another thirty percent of the profit." ”

"It's Galt, you take it for granted, there is nothing more complicated in the world than the human heart, even if the other party is just a child, you underestimate him too much. Middell said.

“...... Middel" Gart pondered for a moment, made a decision, and gave orders to his deputy, "Help me keep an eye on that kid, 'focus on observation,' you understand what that means." ”。

By the time Nolan Jire's guests had dispersed, it had been 3 or 4 hours later, and Suzo had been instructed by Middel to keep his feet busy from beginning to end. When he was finally allowed to leave, he felt that his arm was so sore that it was no longer his own.

"If I continue like this, sooner or later I will become a warrior of infinite strength......"

Teasing himself, Suzo walked exhausted towards his residence. He slept in a utility room on the basement floor of Nolan Jire, although the gray was a little big, but because he could live alone, he was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

However, just as he was passing by the kitchen, he was stopped by Chef Dorne.

"Evan Ian! It's just in time! The slave's food hasn't been delivered yet, so if you want to go back, take it with you!"

When there were many guests, the kitchen was also full of help, and at this time it was difficult to rest, and the ground was full of people on their backs, and except for Dorne, no one else could even climb up.

Dorn was laying the leftovers on the trolley beside him.

“...... Chef, my hands are about to break!" Despite the complaints, Suzo obediently walked over and helped Dorne put the last two plates on the table.

"Less nonsense! Remember to push the food cart up tomorrow. Dorne slapped Suzo on the back and kicked him out of the kitchen.

Su Zuo looked at the plates on the dining cart and muttered, "...... That good old man......"

Even if it's leftovers, the dishes on each plate are well matched according to the amount......

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Dragging his tired body, Suzo pushed the dining cart and handed out dinner to the slaves in the cage one by one.

Just a month ago, Suzo had been starved in these small, dark cages, just like the slaves, so he knew how hard it was for them to have only one dinner a day.

Nolan Jire is a very well-equipped stronghold in the Golden Lock of the Raven, with a restaurant on the first floor, a prostitution hall on the second and third floors, a prison on the basement floor, and stairs further down, but that's not where Suzo can go. The environment of the prison is quite good, although there are no windows and lighting underground, but the ventilation and humidity are not bad.

Although the cells in the cell seemed to be numerous, since there were actually only a little more than half of the people, Suzo quickly divided the dinner almost equally.

In the end, with only the last food left in the dining car, Suzo pushed it and walked to the deepest part of the prison.

"I've got the ink and quill you wanted. Su Zuo respectfully sent the dinner plate and the paper bag with ink and quills behind the sill.

Unlike other cells, the metal sill poles of the deepest dozen cells were engraved with runes that Su Zuo did not recognize, and even if he used a knife to cut hard, there would be no scratches on the railings.

The wall lamps on the walls emitted a faint magic glow, and in this light blue light, the black-robed old man in the cell raised his head, glanced at Su Zuo faintly, and threw the quill in his mouth into the open inkwell on the side.

“...... You've done what I asked......" The inkwell in front of the old man was already bottoming out, and the tip of the quill was almost bald.

"Yes. Su Zuo replied briefly, during the day, the main reason why he had to go to the Gray Branch Exchange, in addition to exchanging the cans of Saqqara for silver coins, was because of the old man's request to help him get ink and quills.

No one knew the identity of the old man who was locked up in the deepest part of the cell, not even Dorne, who was in charge of delivering food in the cell.

Su Zuo only knew that the other party was a mage, and then from him, he could learn magic himself.

The old man, with his legs broken, supported himself with the stubble of his thighs, slowly stood up, slowly moved to the railing, dragged the heavy metal shackles on his hands, and checked the ink and quill.

“...... Okay, in that case, your agreement with me will be fulfilled......" The old man raised his head and looked at Su Zuo, his dark green pupils and wrinkled old face. And the pointed ears that came out of the messy silver messy hair showed the identity of the other party's immortal species.

I don't know how many centuries I have lived to be able to become this old man, and Su Zuo doesn't know when the old man has been locked up here, but he has a feeling that with the other party's age, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he personally experienced the war between the empire and Nanling 70 years ago.

"As you requested, I have taught you two spells as ink rewards in advance. ”

"Yes. ”

"As agreed, if you can continue to help me find the ink and paper I need, then I will take you as an apprentice and teach you magic. ”

"Yes. ”

"And what about your answer?"

"Teacher. Su Zuo lowered his head without hesitation and said to the old man.

As a scientist, Suzo was a staunch atheist and anti-mystic in his previous life. But after experiencing the power of magic and resurrecting it through magic, Suzo became very, very interested in the wonderful technology of "magic" that exists in this alien world.

From the very beginning, he was very eager to know what the nature of the alien human beings was that they could freely manipulate matter and change energy.

So he didn't hesitate to ask the old man.

Hearing Su Zuo's answer, the old man didn't talk nonsense, the previous 2 weeks of teaching made him familiar enough with Su Zuo.

The old man nodded, and went directly to the topic: "Child, as you can see, my time is running out, and after being locked up here for so many years, you are the only person who can barely inherit what I have learned in my life in terms of qualifications, especially since you are only a child now, and it is the best age to learn spells." ”

"Now, hold your chest up and look up, my child, tell me your name. ”

The old man looked at Su Zuo with a solemn expression, it was the first time in two weeks that Su Zuo had seen such a serious expression on his tired old face.

Suzo hesitated slightly.

"My name is Evanian, teacher, ivenien. ”

With a "click", the quill in the old man's hand broke......

"Vijie'er, what's wrong with you? ”

Cromwell looked at the girl who looked a little dazed, a little worried.

"No, I'm fine, sir. The girl was stunned for a moment before she realized that Cromwell was calling herself, and that panicked look didn't look like she was okay.

"Could it be that you were fascinated by the handsome leader of the Golden Locks of the Raven?" Cromwell laughed and joked at Vigil's appearance as a young girl.

"How! how is it possible!" Vijie's reaction was really violent, "It's that black crow man!

"Oh, that's?" Cromwell wondered, if it wasn't for Galt, what was the girl thinking?

"It's nothing...... "Vigille blushed and slurred.

Twisting her head and looking out of the carriage window, Vigille bit her lip.

Evan Ian ...... evien...... Why can't I remember where I heard this name......
