Chapter 20: The Invitation of the William Family
I came back to my senses and turned my head to see that I was still wearing a red magic robe, and the old magician I had met when I entered the city was walking towards me, and Mark the swordsman was following closely behind him, and they all looked relaxed, as if they had really come to the bar. But I knew that they weren't here to look for me, if they weren't here to drink.
"It's a pleasure to meet again, Mr. Magician, and I haven't thanked you for bringing me into the city last time. I said with a smile. While secretly scolding myself for being so easily distracted these days, I would never be negligent when I was an agent before, could it be that the comfortable time on Dragon Island for a year has consumed all my vigilance?
The old magician smiled and said, "That time I was just a gesture, not to mention that it was just a city gate tax for a mere silver coin, you don't have to care at all." Let me introduce myself, I'm Jokeshire #8226 and William, and this is my bodyguard, Mark #8226, William. ”
I smiled and nodded to the swordsman, said hello, and replied, "I am Long Gutian, you are the patriarch of the William family, the Grand Duke of Jokeser who is about to surpass the Magister?" Although I have just come to the small city, I happen to have the information of the Grand Duke of Jokeser on the map of the continent I bought, he is the owner of this territory, and the father of the lord of the small city, and he is a high-level demon master whose strength is close to the Fa Sheng.
"I am indeed the patriarch of the William family, but what is about to surpass the Magus is just a random rumor outside. Duke Jokser said with a wry smile, "I am also looking forward to becoming a Dharma Saint, but unfortunately I have not been able to break through, and I have only found a way to do so." It's you, you can become a great sword master at a young age, and you can wait to become a sword master. ”
"I can't imagine that I just taught an ignorant person a lesson, but now I have already heard it on the streets. Shaking my head, I said distressedly.
"Hehe, little brother, why hide it if you have the strength, the young man should be high-spirited! I also want to thank you for selling us the best materials in the equipment store!"
"I just don't like trouble. I was going to sell those materials for some money, and the price in your store is right, so I will naturally sell them. What you are willing to do, how can you not be thankful. I said lightly.
Duke Jokeser saw that I had always been very cold, so he stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point: "Since the little brother has accepted the mercenary task of guarding the small city, I wonder if he is willing to deal with the demonic beast that may be a holy beast with the masters of the City Lord's Mansion?"
I knew that this was an invitation to join the William family in disguise, so I shook my head and said, "I have always been alone, even if I am with your masters, it will not be of much use if I think about it. And with a magician like you and a great swordsman like Mark, there are many masters in the City Lord's Mansion, and it's the same with me or not. If there is a real need at that time, it will not be too late for me to go to the rendezvous. ”
Duke Jokser said regretfully, "Since you don't want to be with me, an old man, then that's all the way it is. But since you are a member of Karinga, are you willing to contribute to the country?"
It seems that he still refuses to give up, and contributes to the country, which is also an extremely legitimate reason, if it is changed to the original world, just this sentence can make me agree, but unfortunately now I do not belong to Karinga at all, nor do I belong to any country here. I reluctantly explained: "The reason why I fill in Kalenga on the form is only because I am here now, in fact, I am not a person from Kalenga, so I don't need to mention it again when I contribute to the country." ”
The Duke of Jokeser was also open-minded, and knew that he couldn't be reluctant, so he gave up his plan to recruit me for the time being, and immediately shifted his interest to the nationality of the company, and said curiously: "Then which country are you?"
I knew that I would have to face this problem sooner or later, and I thought that from time to time there would be small countries on the mainland that would be annexed by big ones, so I pretended to sigh and said with a sad face: "The old country is unbearable to look back on, and it has long been annihilated in the flames of war." ”
Duke Jokser looked at me with a sad look, and now that wars are happening on the continent from time to time, such things are not uncommon, so I will not ask any more questions. I know that I finally coped with him, and I am also relieved, after all, he has done me a favor, and I really can't treat him indifferently. It just so happens that I also want to know about this magical beast that came to this neighborhood unexpectedly, and I think that as a lord, he should be the person who knows the most about the situation, of course, such a good opportunity can't be missed, and I asked him about the monster at the moment.
"This is a very strange magical beast, according to the intelligence observed by our scouts in the air (most of the scouts are mounted on flying magical beasts for reconnaissance), it may not be a pure water surname magical beast, because at that time it even used the ninth-level magic of the light system to kill many scouts, but fortunately, one scout was relatively behind, so he escaped by luck. However, because of this, I didn't see the appearance of the monster clearly. ”
It seems that this demonic beast is likely to have a light surname! A ninth-level light magic, even if it is a mid-level holy beast, if it is not a light surname, it may not be able to use it, I am thrilled to hear it. If I could give Anna a Holy Beast Demon Core with a light surname, she would be very happy! However, judging from the energy I feel, if it is really a holy beast, I am afraid that the people in the whole city will not be able to see it enough.
Next, I chatted with him ramblingly, although he has been vaguely testing my origins, but anyway, I am also an agent, so naturally I can cope with it, but I talked with him about wine. Of course, I don't know what good wines are in this world, so I can only talk about the various good wines I tasted when I was on Earth, but I learned about the many good wines in this world. For example, the elven clan's heavenly fragrant fruit wine, the orc royal clan's Beamon tribe's meat-flavored wine, the dwarven clan's dwarven holy wine brewed with the spring water of the earth, etc., of course, the human race also has a lot of fine wine, but it is not as rare as these wines.
The whole afternoon was spent chatting with our young and old, and although there was a bit of noise in the bar, it didn't bother us, and the Duke of Jokeser's simple mute spell completely cut off the sound. Mark listened quietly all the time, but did his job as a guard, until it was almost dark, and then said to Duke Jokse, "Sir, it's not early, you must go home." ”
Looking at the reluctant expression on Duke Joxer's face, although I knew that he must know my address for the past two days, I still told him that it was my newly purchased manor, which can be regarded as reassuring his heart! Duke Joxser, who knew that I had bought a manor in this city, was very happy, so he said goodbye to me and left at the urging of Mark.
I also paid the bill quickly, and he didn't give up testing my details all afternoon, so I have always been cautious, and after a long time, Ren is the true qi of my innate realm is also a little unbearable. However, thinking that he is the grand duke is so kind, and he is thirsty for talent, and the residents in this small city are still living and working in peace and contentment, and there is nothing to bully others, so I have a good impression. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the patience to ink with him for half a day. But fortunately, I didn't tell the old duchess Roger that he had volunteered to be my servant, otherwise the two great swordsman-level masters would really be afraid that he would have to ink with me for another night.
Back at the manor, I called out Roger who was buried in the arena and asked him about Karinga's situation. It turns out that in recent years, Karinga has been provoked by neighboring Carter, who is only a small country with only three provinces and has always been a subject of the Guchas Empire, while Carter is a medium-sized country with more than ten provinces, and its national strength is naturally much stronger than that of Kalian. In the past, the two countries had been living in harmony, but three years ago Carter's old king died of illness, and the new king was ambitious and wanted to develop Carter into a sixth empire, so he directly pointed the finger at Karinga. Although because of the intervention of the Guchas Empire, Carter did not dare to directly send troops to capture Karinga, but the small actions in private have been continuous, and recently the territory of the Duke of Jokser has been attacked by thieves disguised by Carter's army in many places, and every time they encircle and suppress, they will run if there are more people, and if there are less, they may not be their opponents, and they have returned several times in vain. That's why Duke Joxer was anxious to find a master to join and expand the strength of the army in his territory. Now that this batch of unplanned Warcraft is attacking the city, it can be said that it is even worse.
Knowing the old duke's predicament, I have a good intention of going to trouble the 'thieves', and if these 'thieves' are too vicious, I don't mind destroying them directly. But of course, it wouldn't be a hassle if you took a look around the old duke's territory when you left the city after dealing with the besieging monsters.
Naturally, I meditated for another night, but Roger forgot to sleep and eat to the point of almost madness these days, knowing that there was a big battle to fight tomorrow, but he refused to sleep, just thinking about how to walk that set of footwork. However, of course, the wonderful footwork is not so easy to learn, and he is only barely able to take four steps so far. In the end, impatiently, I directly clicked on his sleeping hole and threw him directly on the bed.
The next day, I went to the harbor near the beach early to check it out, saying that it was a harbor, but in fact, the number of ships that could accommodate it was really limited, in my opinion, there were no ships of tonnage, at best, they could only go around the nearby waters, fishing or something, and wanting to go to sea was simply looking for death. I went around the beach again, trying to find a place where I could kill the monster without being discovered, but I found that there was nothing for me to use, it seemed that if I wanted to kill the monster in the near sea, it was almost impossible not to be seen, of course I didn't want to be seen, if someone found out that I killed the holy beast, then there would not be one or two old duke-type characters who wanted to find me. After looking around, I secretly decided to act when the time came, and I really couldn't care about it so much, it seems that it is not easy to get a suitable Holy Beast Demon to verify.
