Vantolis, it's a famous place.

Situated north of the ancient ruins of Thrand, it is neither a city nor a town, and is famous for the fact that many of the battlefields of rebellion against the Empire were fought here in the first place.

"Slum of slums", this is the disdainful name given to Vantolis by the imperial aristocracy, and the endless barren land is simply not suitable for human survival.

There's no fresh food, there's no pure water, there's ...... here. Nothing!

Of course, there will be no nobles in this kind of place, as long as there are a few gold coins, they are eager to leave this dirty land far away, and never come back, because this is a land cursed by the gods.

It was as if abandoned by the Empire, which never transported supplies to the land unless the country lacked soldiers, and as it was said before, the Thrand people were the best cannon fodder.

The Thrand people are mostly in groups, because it is so difficult to find food here, and it is difficult to ensure that they can find enough food alone, and the place where they live is Vantolis.

This is a city built with mud, sand and all kinds of messy things, I remember that there was once a royal knight army of 2,000 people went to Vantolis to quell the rebellion, from the Sassen Imperial City to conquer Vantolis, it only took four or five days to add up to the back, you can imagine Vantolris's defense ability.

Van Torres, a place of tears, blood and hatred, the surviving Thranders hated the Empire and hated the nobility more than once, and they tried to raise an army to rebel more than once, but unfortunately, due to the lack of weapons and equipment, the rebellion failed without sparing.

In the beginning, the Empire taught the Thrlanders a very profound lesson, that is, rebellion must be punished, the harshest punishment, remember the rebellion two hundred and twenty-one years ago, a force of 1,000 royal knights and 7,000 ordinary soldiers swept the area, killing all the men who exceeded the height of the horse's belly, and only the Thrands who fled to the mountains were spared.

However, the lessons of iron and blood did not bring the Thrlanders to their knees, and over the course of more than two hundred years, they organized forty rebellions, eleven of which were large enough to go down in history, but even so, the rebels could not get out of the land - the Empire's strongest force, the royal knights, kept them out every time.

Gradually, the empire lost interest in this barren land that did not obey discipline, either because it was a little unbearable for the sacrifice of the Thrlanders for hundreds of years, or because the empire wanted to keep them to replenish the army, in the past hundred years, the empire's control of the Thrlanders has been much relaxed, even if it is a rebellion, the empire will only send royal knights to quell the rebellion, and will not massacre as much as two hundred years ago.

The leadership used food and water to get a part of the Serlanders to abandon their hatred and stay away from their homes and become Imperial soldiers, and they succeeded.

Hunger is clearly more important to some Thrandians than hatred.

On the contrary, there are still most people who are willing to stay in Thrand and continue to fight against the Empire, but the Empire obviously does not care, because the Thrand people lack food to fill their stomachs, weapons to use in battle, and leaders to lead the war.

All they have is a blood surname—a blood surname that has been honed by centuries of adversity, forced by empire and hunger.

As the empire generally believes, the Thranders are composed of villains, robbers and thieves, they rob passing caravans, rob neighboring towns, for this reason, merchants would rather take a long detour than pass through this place, the convoy that passes every year, only the convoy of the empire to Garic to escort supplies, and this, the robbers and villains among the Thranders, obviously dare not touch, what they want to encounter most is the carriage of a certain nobleman, not too many, just a few, in this case, there are not so many mercenaries to escort...... Of course, what they want to encounter most is a carriage without mercenaries, but this is not very common...... Wait a minute...... Looks like there's one?

"Squeak Crunch ......"

As the sound of tooth aches gradually came from afar, a black carriage emerged from behind the dead woods, accompanied by a few complaints.

"What a bad smell, Alan, are you sure we're on the right track?"

"I'm sorry, Lerella, I think you can close the windows for ventilation......"

"Alan, haven't you seen the city yet? we just brought some bread and water out......"

"Uh...... I don't think so, hey, man, did you see that? Hey, hey, calling you to catch a car didn't make you doze off! I ......."

"Take a break here, Alan, I think we're all tired......"

"Well, Lavia - if I were you, I wouldn't choose to rest here!"

If there is no accident, I think this is Jiang Zhe and his party...... "Squeak!" With a few neighings, the carriage gradually stopped, and Alan reached out and pushed Jiang Zhe, who was wrapped in a dark green cloak next to him, and said angrily, "Hey, man, sometimes I really admire you - you can drive the carriage while dozing?"

"Stay away!" Jiang Zhe waved his hand and rubbed his eyes that were a little sour, saying that he hadn't slept peacefully for a day and a night, no way, who called there only two boys in this group.

On the contrary, Alan still looked as energetic as usual, and after teasing Jiang Zhexing, he hurriedly ran to the carriage, like a few girls to be courteous.

"Hee-hee, thank you!" Helping Alan's men out of the carriage, Lisa looked around, frowned, and said, "Where is this? Why are all the trees dead, and ...... It stinks!"

Lerella, who also got out of the carriage, also covered her nose unnaturally, looked around hesitantly and said, "Alan, you can't be taking the wrong way, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice from the carriage smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, this should be Thrand......, right?

Glancing lightly at the light-blue-haired girl beside her, Lavia, dressed in an equestrian suit, jumped out of the carriage, stepped on her thick-soled riding boots and walked a few steps into the distance, then turned to Alan and said, "Ellen, didn't you tell you that we need food and water?

"I'm sorry," Ellen said jokingly, shrugging his shoulders indifferently, "Actually, you shouldn't blame me, the reins have never been in my hand......"

For no reason, Lavia frowned and glared at Alan without speaking.

"And where shall we go now?" said Lyrela, who was holding the knightly puppet, as she glanced at her companions, "there is not enough food and water in the carriage, we need to find a place to rest, and add a little more—can we find a place for us to take a bath?"

"This ......" Scratching his head, Alan looked around and said jokingly, "I hope so too, but unfortunately...... I haven't seen a few towns all the way - let alone towns, not even a village, tsk!"

"Alan," pulling at the tight riding suit on Alan's body, Lisa blushed and whispered, "It's very uncomfortable not to take a bath......

"Wow," said Alan, who looked into the distance and shrugged, "then please get into the carriage of the young ladies, if you want to find a place to stay before the sun goes down......"

"Okay......" puffing out her cheeks cutely, Lisa sullenly got into the carriage.

"Hey," Walking to the front of the carriage, Lavia looked at Jiang Zhe, who was holding the reins of the horse with a sleepy face, and said lightly, "Why don't you go to the carriage and let me take care of you for a while?"

"Well, no need," patting his face with his hand, Jiang Zhe cheered up and said, "You go back to the car!"

Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Lavia smiled faintly, jumped onto the seat with the wooden steps, sat next to Jiang Zhe and exhaled, and said, "It's stuffy inside, I want to come out and breathe......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice next to him smile and say, "Breathable, don't you think it smells bad?"

Holding her chin, Lavia said lightly, "Shut up, Alan!"

"Really not going in?" Alan pointed to the carriage, and when Lavia shook his head, he shrugged his shoulders, closed the door of the carriage, and then sat in the front row, jokingly, "It's stuffy......, isn't it?"

As if thinking of something, Lavia frowned and said, "Shut up, Alan!"

"Okay," shrugged his shoulders, Alan reached out and took the reins from Jiang Zhe, who was sitting on the far left, and then said in a loud voice, "Pray, ma'am, pray that we can find a place to live before the sun goes down, or I think we'll have to sleep with those mountain wolves again—may the wolves of Thrand not be so hungry...... Drive!"

Alan was wrong, there were no wolves in Thrand, well, there were no wild beasts, because they had already been hunted down by the hungry Thranders...... Fortunately, the carriage was big enough, even if Jiang Zhe, Lavia, and Allen sat in the groom's position together, they didn't feel too crowded.

Feeling the bumps of the carriage, Lavia turned her head to look at Jiang Zhe and said lightly, "What do you think?" I haven't slept for a day and a night, right? It's hard to imagine ......."

"It's okay," rubbing his sour eyes, Jiang Zhe yawned, stroked his windblown hair, and looked at him with a high spirit, "I care more about Professor Huo De than this, but we lied to him that he would go to Allen's hometown......"

"Hey, that's not a deception, it's a white lie!" Alan said with a smile waving his whip, "Of course, if you want to go to Opeirios, you can do so whenever you want, it's my place - would you like to visit your old friend Phantom Monster at Loch Ness?"

"Die!" Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes angrily, the Phantom Water Monster was the most troublesome of all the creatures he had encountered.

"Really, the Phantom Monsters are famous in our area, and there are often people who don't know how to live or die to catch those creatures for a high commission......

"Phantom Water Monster, what are you doing catching that?" Jiang Zhe was a little curious.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ethic said as a matter of course, "Be a pet, you know, rich people always think a little differently than the average person, you don't expect them to have a rabbit, ......do you?"

"Ceratosaurus?"

"Yes, I'm surprised," he smiled, Jiang Zhe said jokingly, "but in my opinion, it's just a lizard that can bang fire, and its kind of flame is pitiful, so some rich guys use them to light cigarettes, hehe, it's magnificent enough, right?"

"Hey!" Jiang Zhele glanced at the giggling Lavia, and teased Allen, "What about you? I heard that your family is also very rich?"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong," I saw Alan look at Jiang Zhe seriously, and said correctly, "Not very rich, very, very rich!" As he spoke, he returned to his usual hippie smile and said with a smile, "Actually, it's my old guy who is quite rich, and it basically has nothing to do with me, it should be said that before I inherited the family business, that little money had nothing to do with me...... You know what, man, that old guy kept convincing me to be a businessman like him, and that's ridiculous, it's the most important honor for a man, not a gold coin......"

"You're a man?" Lavia sneered, chuckling.

"What are you talking about?" Glaring at Lavia with wide eyes, Alan pointed to himself and hehehe, "...... like me Huh?" he said, flexing his muscles.

"......" shook her head speechlessly, Lavia exhaled lightly and said lightly, "I don't know if you have any there, but in Altak, only those who have held a ceremony of sincerity and benevolence are worthy of being called a man......"

"It's just a courtesy!" said Alan, unconcerned.

"A Cheng Ren Li?" Ravia said with a slight mockery, glancing at Allen, "Do you know how many people have died in this Cheng Ren Li in Altak?"

"Wow," Glancing at Lavia in surprise, Alan asked, stunned, "What's wrong, a Cheng Renli...... Do you want to fight a duel?"

"There's no need for a duel," Shaking her head, Lavia stroked her cheek, which was slightly tingled by the wind, and whispered, "The rules of that ceremony are simple, that is, enter the snowy mountains, and you can't join forces with any of your companions to kill a Lordz snow wolf alone......"

"What snow wolf?" asked Allen, who was driving the carriage, curiously.

"The Wolves of the Lords are the ...... summoned by your opponent Vincent Flores during the match"

"Huh, just that?" pouting disdainfully, Alan said lightly, "If I hadn't tried to play that kid that day, I would have been able to get rid of that Men snow wolf in three or two clicks!"

"No, it's not like that," Lavia said, shaking her head with a bit of sarcasm, "Actually, you're lucky, Alan, and you're glad you didn't meet the Wolves in the snowy mountains of Artak...... It's not a fun thing to encounter hungry Manz snow wolves in the snowy mountains during a blizzard, especially when you encounter hordes of Manz snow wolves......"

"Wow," Alan shrugged and said with a grin, "Hearing you say that, I'm very interested in your Chengrenli, when will I go to your place for a few days, and by the way, participate in your Chengrenli...... By the way, will you Altak refuse to allow outsiders to participate?"

"Of course not, as long as you have the guts...... And if you succeed, you'll get a pendant made from the teeth of the Snowwolf Wolves you've captured, which is a symbol of warrior in Altak, and you'll be respected and respected by all!"

"Wow, that sounds pretty good," touched his chin, Alan said with a grin, "I'll go get one later, by the way, let you see the power of the battle mage again, what snow mountain, what Men snow wolf......" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jiang Zhe and said, "Hey, buddy, together?"

With a yawn, Jiang Zhe said lightly, "I'm not interested!"

"Hey, man, you're too stuffy, aren't you?" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Alan said to Lavia with great interest, "Well, when?"

I saw that Lavia's eyes showed a little mixed with solemnity, worry and inexplicable look, and she whispered, "Next year, I will be fourteen years old, and I will go back when the time comes......"

"Hey," Alan said in surprise, as if sensing something, "you...... You don't want to participate in it or something......"

I saw Lavia sigh slightly, barely smiled, and said in a threatening tone, "Why?

Stunned and looking at Lavia, and then at Jiang Zhe, who was also surprised, Alan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, of course...... When the time comes, remember to invite me, I thought, it will be very handsome to wear a pendant made of such a wolf tooth, hmm!"

"Alan, you're really ......," Lavia shook her head helplessly.

"Don't you think?" said Allen, surprised.

"I ......" Lavia lowered her head slightly and said lightly, "I just want to prove that what others can do, I can do the same!"

Glancing deeply at Lavia, Jiang Zhe shook his head slightly.

It was getting dark, but the group still didn't find a place to stay, and after driving for a long time, they didn't even see a small village.

"This is a problem," said Allen, shrugging his head, "what to do, guys? We can't seem to find a place to stay......

"Isn't there anything nearby?" Lavia said, looking into the distance, frowning, "It doesn't matter where you live, but the food and water ...... There's some bread, so what about the water, the river ...... around here," she said, probably remembering that she had seen the river, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.

"Water, isn't that very simple?" learned Jiang Zhe snapped his fingers, and Alan said with a smile, "Don't forget, we are not ordinary travelers - don't you just ask Todia about water?" As he spoke, he suddenly saw the expression on Lavia's face sink, smiled, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe, seeing that he was busy dozing off and didn't pay attention, Lavia looked at the distance that was gradually in the night, lowered her head and thought about it, and sighed slightly and said, "It seems that this can only be done......" As she spoke, she pushed Allen, but saw Allen make a silent gesture.

"It seems like we're in more than one trouble......" As if hearing something, Alan licked his lips and looked at the woods not far away.

"There seems to be someone around......" Lavia seemed to sense something, only to see her eyes closed, muttering, "One, two, three......" Immediately, she slowly opened her eyes, frowned, and said, "There are nineteen people in the woods over there, what do they want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" Alan said jokingly, jumping out of the carriage and jokingly, "I don't believe they are bringing us food at such times as this, don't worry, I know what to do with it - it is written in knightly novels!"

Perhaps it was the stop of the carriage that caused the confusion of several of the girls in the carriage, only to see Lisa poke her head out of the window and ask curiously, "Ivy Soth Allen?"

"It's okay, don't worry!" walked over and patted Lisa's head gently, Alan said with rare seriousness, "Lisa, go back to the car!"

"Oh......" With a nod, Lisa retracted her head into the car and watched as Alan opened the door and took out the knight's sword from under the seat inside.

"What's wrong?" Standing up involuntarily, Dia asked in surprise, "Did you meet a robber?"

"Robber?" Lyrella covered her mouth in astonishment, muttering, "Won't it?"

"Possibly," said Dia, frowning, and whispering, "I know something about Thrand, which is full of thugs and thieves, and who often rob merchants' con......voys for food and money."

"Huh?" exclaimed, and Lisa leaned against the glass window to look out.

"Don't worry, if those fellows dare to trouble us, then we can only tell them - they have chosen the wrong person!" said Allen, who bowed his hand and bowed a knightly salute, and said with a smile, "Please stay in the carriage, beautiful young ladies, if I hurt you, even the gods will cry!" With that, he gently closed the door, put the knight's sword on his shoulder with a ruffian face, and swaggered towards the front of the carriage.

Sure enough, Dia and Allen's guess was correct, with a slight sound of footsteps, more than a dozen black shadows walked towards the carriage step by step, and by the light on the carriage, I saw a man at the head holding a short dagger in his hand, hehe smiled, and said in a low voice, "I thought it was ...... who it was, it turned out to be a group of little ghosts, and we discussed it for a long time" As he spoke, he licked the dagger with his tongue, and said evilly, "Get acquainted, hand over the money and food in the car, otherwise it ......"

"What else would have happened?" Alan grinned as he lowered the knight's sword from his shoulder, and the heavy knight's sword slammed into the ground.

"Who are you?" Lavia frowned as she looked at the dozen or so men in front of her, some of them looked younger, some of them looked much older, but one thing was the same, they were dressed in shabby clothes, and they smelled strange from top to bottom, like the river they had encountered.

Out of involuntary disgust, Lavia couldn't help but take a step back, frowning and covering her mouth and nose.

"Yo, there's a chick!" Lavia's crisp voice seemed to make the dozen or so men even more interested, and several of them shouted excitedly after looking around the carriage from a distance, "Big brother, this carriage is just these little ghosts!"

"Hmm, what?" the bearded man at the head glanced at Lavia and Alan in surprise, then shook his head and said mockingly, "Is it an outing for the noble imp?" he said, flashing the dagger in his hand and said viciously, "Hand over the money and food......

Before he finished speaking, he heard another man point at Lavia and interject, "And that chick, haha!"

"By the way, big brother, there are a few little ghosts in the carriage, all of them are chicks!"

"Hahaha, have fun tonight!"

Listening to the voice behind him, the bearded scumbag man at the head frowned, and whispered to Allen, "Leave the food and money, and I'll let you go!"

"Big brother?"

"Shut up!" the bearded man yelled viciously behind him, then looked at Allen.

However, to his surprise, the little ghost in front of him did not show a frightened and frightened expression, on the contrary, he seemed to see an illusion of eagerness in the eyes of the little ghost in front of him, and the pale yellow knight's sword in the little ghost's hand made him care more.

I saw Alan shrug his shoulders, holding the knight's sword in both hands and grinning and said, "Actually, we are quite bored along the way, I have been thinking since just now, why can't I encounter those things in knight novels, like, robbery or something......" As he spoke, he pulled out the knight's sword in his right hand, and the sharp blade flashed a few cold lights in the haze.

"Wow, this sword...... Hand over your sword, little ghost!"

The eyes of several men were full of madness, after all, in the now defeated Thrand, it is not easy to find a superior weapon, a weapon is a symbol of strength!

Of course, the reason for this is nothing more than the control of the Empire: the Empire strictly forbids the sale of weapons to Thrand from other regions!

Compared with the few younger brothers behind him, the man at the head obviously thought more, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, which made him a little funny.

"Little ghost, I warn you again, leave this sword, leave the food and money in the carriage, and I will let you go!"

"That's not going to work," Alan said with a grin, licking his lips, "If I lose this sword, my old man won't let my ...... go."

"Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about with this little ghost!" roared, a dozen accomplices behind the bearded scumbag man unligently flashed the daggers in their hands and glared at Alan viciously, but just as they were about to make a move, suddenly a fiery red object flashed in front of their eyes, and then floated steadily in front of them.

Immediately, another ...... "this ......"

"This is ......" The dozen or so robbers stared at the dozen or so fireballs suspended in the air in disbelief, and one of them murmured in horror, "Demon ...... Magician?"

"Hey," scratching his head, Alan turned his head to look at Jiang Zhe, who was sitting on his back in the groom seat, and said with a smile, "Awake?

"You haven't been asleep all the time, okay?" Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes.

Making a strange expression, Alan grinned, shrugged at the bearded scumbag man who could see the fireballs and said, "It seems that you have found the wrong person, we are not some aristocratic imps who are going on an outing...... Okay, the game is over, it's better for you to leave obediently, what do you think?"

Are these fireballs cast by that little ghost?

The bearded man frowned as he glanced at the little guy in the dark green cloak who was sitting on his back in the groom's seat.

After all, while magic is gaining popularity, most people still have a fear of it.

However, there are always people who don't believe in evil...... "Aren't they just a few little ghosts!" A fierce-looking man rushed towards Lavia, and before he could raise his right hand holding the dagger, and before Lavia could recite the incantation, he saw a fireball quickly turn around and hit him in the chest and abdomen, only to hear a scream, the man's body burned violently, causing a panic among a dozen other people.

"Oh, damn it!"

"Is it really fire? damn it!"

The man tossed on the ground a few times, and the flames gradually extinguished, because Jiang Zhe deliberately controlled the flames on his body.

"Do you still need to play any more?" Pointing to Jiang Zhe, who was sitting in the groom seat, Alan shrugged and said, "I was going to play with you...... Okay, let's take this guy and leave, my brother doesn't have a good temper......"

I saw that the bearded man stepped forward to check the injuries of his accomplice, and then waved his hand, and said with a little weakness, "Let's go!" As soon as the words fell, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when they heard this sound, the dozen or so robbers seemed to think of something, and their faces showed a little panic and hatred, and they hurriedly picked up the injured guy and escaped into the darkness.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Looking at the person running away without a trace, Alan suddenly felt a darkness all around, and it turned out that Jiang Zhe had lifted the dozen or so fireballs.

Within a few tens of seconds, as the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, three knights appeared in front of Allen's eyes.

The knight at the head glanced around suspiciously, then pointed the spear in his hand at Allen, frowned and said, "Boy, where are your parents?"

Glancing at the tip of the gun that was close at hand, Alan said in a very unhappy tone, "If I were you, I wouldn't ask so rashly, maybe your rude behavior will offend someone!"

"Little ghost!" a knight frowned and shouted, but was stopped by the knight in the lead, who stretched out his hand to stop him, and saw him look Alan up and down, suddenly put away his spear, sat on his horse and performed a standard knightly salute, and then said in a straight voice, "We just saw the firelight in the distance......" As he spoke, he looked around suspiciously, as if thinking of something.

"Is this the fire?" saw a cluster of flames in Lavia's hand, smiling at the knight.

......As if to understand something, the knight hurriedly came up from his horse, gave another knightly salute, and said politely, "Please forgive me for my rudeness, honorable lady magician...... What are you doing here with your companions? Of course, I don't mean to question anything, I'm just curious...... Oh, that's rude, my name is Ek, Ek Tash!"

"Very well, honorable Mr. Knight," Lavia asked with a slight smile, dissipating the flame in her hand, "my companion and I want to go to Garik, but unfortunately we have lost our way around here, I would like to ask, are there any cities or villages nearby, and we want to find a place to rest!"

"City?" said the knight named Ek, shaking his head with a strange smile on his face, "There is only one city in the vicinity, called Vantoris, but believe me, respected and beautiful Miss Sorcerer, you would never want to go to that place...... If you don't mind, you can wait here for a day, and I think we can take you and your companions to Galik, who are knights ordered to escort the pay to Galik!"

"Do you have to wait a day?" Lavia bit her lip in embarrassment, then shook her head and said, "I don't think we can wait that long, in which direction is the city called Vantolis?"

"This ......" I saw the knight Eke look at Lavia hesitantly, and suddenly he raised his head, pointed to the distance and said, "Follow this road, and in another day, you will reach the border of Galik, where there is a place to live, sorry, beautiful lady magician, please believe me, Vantolis will definitely not be an interesting place......"

Glancing at Ek, Lavia asked curiously, "Why?"

I saw a little disdain and disgust on Ek's face, and said in a deep voice, "Vantolis is full of sins, it is the residence of villains and thieves, and those Thranders are like parasites, killing, robbing, stealing...... I swear by the honor of being a knight, it will definitely not be a good place to go, and if you need a place with your companions, then go in the direction I said, and it will only take a day to get there......"

As he spoke, his companion next to him whispered, "Ek, it's time for us to go back, we won't be punished for missing the time!"

"Yes," said Ek with a nod, and gave a knightly salute to Lavia, Allen, and Lisa and Larella, who were peeking their heads out of the carriage window, and then jumped on their horses and returned the same way as his two companions.

Looking at their distant backs, Lavia sighed slightly and said regretfully, "It seems that there is no city here......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly walked out of the woods not far away, and said in an inexplicable tone, "There are cities, but they won't be the kind of ...... you imagined."

"Haven't you left yet?" Glancing at the bearded man standing not far away, Alan said with a grin, "Your accomplices seem to have all gone back, what do you want to do alone?"

"How do you ...... Oh, so you've already discovered us," he sighed slightly, and the bearded man spat in the direction of the three knights in the distance, and said viciously, "Vantoris is full of sins, hmm, the residence of the villains and thieves, hmm, I'm!", he said, turning his head to look at Alan, and said, "You have heard that there is no other place around here, and if you need to find a place to rest, it is either Vantoris, or you can travel another day to the border of Garik. I have a couple of empty rooms there, if you will......"

With a playful smile, Alan grinned and said, "Yo, what's the matter?

I saw that the bearded man seemed to think of something, laughed at himself, and said seriously, "There are empty rooms, but there is no water, no food, and nothing you usually need, but I may guarantee that no one will trouble you there, and the price is a gold coin!"

"Wow, a gold coin, are we some kind of aristocratic imp who doesn't understand?" said Allen, smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Deal!"

Looking at Allen's outstretched right hand in surprise, the man was stunned for a long time, hesitantly stretched out his hand, and then rubbed his hand on his clothes a few times, shook Allen's hand, and showed a somewhat unnatural smile.

"Well, then, follow me!"

(To be continued)
