"A friend asked me to meet here, but I don't know if she's here. Rorschach shook his head.

"Would you like to tell me your friend's name? I'll help you see if she's here or if she's booked in advance." "The waitress was very polite.

"Of course it's fine, her name is Barbie. Rorschach replied.

"Miss Barbie?" This time it was the waitress's turn to be surprised, but soon, she realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly said, "If the friend you are looking for is Miss Barbie, I will take you there, it turns out that the friend she is waiting for is Your Excellency." ”

"You know?" Rochach guessed as he saw the waitress's reaction.

"It's hard to work here, even if you don't know Miss Barbie. The waitress smiled, and when she saw that Rorschach was still puzzled, she said, "You'll understand later, come with me." ”

Following the waitress, Rorschach walked deeper into the tavern.

Passing by many tables along the way, I found that there are really a lot of wizards here, and there are actually some figures that Rorschach can't see through at all.

'Will even the 'True Soul' wizard visit...... Rorschach was slightly shocked.

In the academy, the 'True Soul' wizards have always appeared as mentors, and there is no daily interaction with these apprentice wizards, but in this tavern, both parties are guests, which is a bit of a novelty.

After a short time, the waitress led Rorschach to the tavern.

As soon as he walked in, Rorschach saw Barbie sitting in one of the booths, half-leaning on the shoulder of a middle-aged man, talking and laughing.

Seeing this scene, Rorschach suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for some reason.

"Rorschach, you're here!" When Rorschach saw Barbie, Barbie also saw him, beckoned to him in surprise, and greeted him.

"I'll quit first. The waitress nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Rorschach also said hello to Barbie, and then walked to the booth.

Seeing Rorschach coming over, Barbie stood up happily and said to Rorschach, "I'm sorry to let you run, but I can't help it, he has to see you." ”

As she spoke, Barbie pointed to the middle-aged man sitting next to her.

Rorschach also looked at the middle-aged man at this time, but his heart beat a few times for no reason, this feeling made Rorschach's heart sink, but he didn't show it, and still asked politely, "I don't know who this Excellency is?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled and made a gesture to Rorschach to sit down. When Rorschach sat down across from him, he smiled and said, "Just call me 'Joker,' that's what everybody calls me." ”

"'Joker'?" Rorschach said thoughtfully.

The middle-aged man 'Clown' saw Rorschach's expression and said with a smile, "Are you guessing if there is any connection between me and this tavern?"

"Ahem......"

"I don't have to guess this, I'm the owner of this tavern. The middle-aged man 'clown' smiled mildly before continuing, "I took the liberty of asking Barbie to come to you this time, I hope you don't mind, after all, you saved my naughty daughter, and I, as a father, have to show a little bit, right?"

"You're Barbie's father?" Rorschach said in surprise.

"Why, don't I look like it?" asked the middle-aged man with a smile.

In fact, Rorschach was just guessing the relationship between Barbie and the middle-aged man, at first he thought that Barbie and the middle-aged man were that kind of relationship, but when he looked at it, it didn't look like it, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged man was Barbie's father, and he was also the owner of this tavern.

It's just that the name 'Joker' is a bit funny.

Rorschach didn't understand why the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked very calm, had such a name, and he gave the tavern the same name.

"It's not, but if you look closely, it's still a bit similar. Rorschach shook his head.

"I'll order something to eat for you, and you'll talk first. Barbie said to Rorschach with a grin.

"......" Rorschach wanted to stop Barbie, because he didn't know the middle-aged man at all, and Barbie's departure would undoubtedly make the atmosphere a little awkward.

But Barbie walked straight to the door, not waiting for Rorschach to speak.

The middle-aged man 'Joker' saw Rorschach's thoughts, but he didn't care, and sighed, "I've heard Barbie say about this time, to be honest, I strongly supported her to take the risk this time, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of change...... If she had an accident because of this, I, as a father, would regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"Thanks to you, this girl survived, and I don't know how to thank you, in short, if you need my help in the future, as long as it is within my ability, I will never say anything. ”

Rorschach shook his head and said, "You are serious, Barbie is my friend, and it is natural for me to save her life within my ability, there is really no need to be so polite." ”

"You don't have to shirk, I won't take back what my 'clown' said, I have made a note of this favor, as for when you let me pay it back, that's your choice. Although the middle-aged man smiled very gently from beginning to end, there was a hint of domineering in his words.

At this time, Barbie had also walked back, sat next to the middle-aged man, looked at Rorschach and asked with a smile, "Where did you go?"

"I was telling Rorschach to treat him to a big meal and thank him for saving my baby girl. The middle-aged man 'clown' said with a smile.

"It's just a big meal? That's too stingy. Barbie muttered dissatisfied.

"It is said that girls are outward, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. The middle-aged man pinched Barbie's nose and shook his head with a smile.

"What nonsense!"

Barbie punched his father in the shoulder, a little annoyed and angry, and after the fight, he remembered that Rorschach was still sitting opposite, and hurriedly withdrew his fist, showing an embarrassed smile to Rorschach, before changing the topic and said, "Rorschach, have you heard, the valley we went to to the underground 'half-dimensional plane' has now been classified as a forbidden place for humans." ”

"Forbidden land?" Rorschach was surprised.

"Well, it looks like you don't know yet. Barbie explained, "After we escaped that day, the Cyclops opened the rift in the space completely, turning it into a stable spatial passage, and then hundreds of Cyclops ran out of it and took it over completely." ”

"Hundreds?!" Rorschach raised his eyelids and raised his voice.

He remembered very well that even those cyclops seemed to be the weakest, they all had strength no less than the crystal soul level, and there were hundreds of such terrifying creatures?

"I'm surprised, right, I reacted the same way you did when I heard the news. "Barbie had a look on her face that I knew you would be like this," Fortunately, Professor Vernon notified them in time, and the senior management of the academy and the high-ranking people on the side of [Wind Chime Canyon] rushed over in time, and reached an agreement with those cyclops to give them all the places around that valley, and drew a boundary, so as not to cause greater damage......"
