After tidying up his appearance a little, Lin went downstairs and came to the hall. Uzov and his party got up early and were gathering in the hall, in groups of threes and twos.

The four silverbearded dwarves were also arranging their breakfasts, and there were usually two maidens to help, and the movements were much faster. However, the two girls were not there, and Jermaine came down to help, but he was clumsy, and was driven out by the other three at once, and sat alone at the long table waiting to eat.

And in the hall stood a knight who had never seen before, dressed in shiny plate armor all over his body.

It was a man who looked quite strong, and he wasn't the kind with muscles and no brains. A shrewd look and a confident smile that is sure to win. To be sure, if you're a companion, you'll be a great person to lean on. But as an opponent, it doesn't seem so welcome.

"Your Excellency." Seeing the magician descending the stairs, the envoy saluted respectfully.

"Your Excellency." Lin returned the salute.

At this time, the daughter of the nobleman came forward to introduce: "This is Viscount Bachmann's most trusted knight, William Macwatt, who has the title of Knight of the Silver Wind. When he finished speaking, he turned his head and said, "This is ......."

"Needless to say, I know exactly who this one is." After stopping the noblewoman, the knight said, "I believe that Your Excellency is very busy with his daily life, and he has little time to listen to our nonsense, so I will tell you what I mean. ”

"Please."

As if he was preparing something, the knight in front of him thought that he was secret, and quietly turned on the magic that might have been equipped with his own equipment or other props. The fluctuations were negligible, and they were difficult to detect with traditional methods of perception, unless the ability to control magical powers could reach the subtle realm. But the mage in front of him is an anomaly, and no matter how small fluctuations are, he can't escape the detection of the arcane eye level.

Generally speaking, if either of the two parties to the conversation uses magic, it can be seen as a sign of hostility. So the other party's reason for doing this, is it because they want to sneak attack, or is there another purpose? Someone remained silent, and even guessed the other person's intentions.

"Your Excellency's two apprentices are visiting the Viscount. Viscount Bachmann has asked me to send a message to your Excellency to bring back your two apprentices as soon as possible. Of course, you can't visit a nobleman without any indication. The Viscount thought that the Ship Cutter was a very suitable gift. Of course, it's best not to drag this on for too long. Otherwise, something bad may happen to your two apprentices. ”

With a few words, everyone was so frightened that they stood up, and a few people even knocked down the bench. Among them, it was not the teacher of the two girls who was anxious and angry, but the daughter of the nobleman who introduced her.

"Huh." Lin smiled, thinking that he was really prescient, and his guess was almost close to the truth. He nodded calmly and said, "I understand, I will visit the Viscount as soon as possible to pick up my apprentice." ”

Someone's abnormal reaction made the knight unable to grasp the other party's thoughts for a while. But the puzzled expression only existed for a moment, and then he bowed with the same friendly smile, and said, "Then I will return to Viscount Bachmann at once, and wait for His Excellency Tripwood." With that, the figure flashed, and the knight left the inn with great speed.

It seems that the magic that the one blessed himself with was used to escape. That swift action was not so much to give people a dismount as to flee in the wilderness. This is because I am afraid that after my threat is spoken, I will be slaughtered by my angry self, so I will prepare for the back road of escape first.

"Those two girls are in their hands?" At this time, Fen, who had just come down the stairs, asked.

The lich wears a high-slit black gold-rimmed cheongsam today, with black stockings and glass heels on the lower body. With a high bun, silver ornaments, and a dry tobacco pipe, he looks ...... Very unusual.

Yes, someone just thought it was abnormal, and the reason was in the dry pipe in the lich's left hand. Because good tobacco is considered a luxury and a rarity, she basically only smokes aftermath and does not take a puff at other times.

Although I didn't worry about those two girls last night, and of course I wasn't so worried that I couldn't sleep, I didn't have the heart to do anything. Still, Fen took out the pipe and lit the tobacco, taking a rare puff.

Watching the puff of cigarette come out of Fen's beautiful lips, Lin reined in his thoughts and said, "It seems that he was taken away." ”

The pipe struck the railing of the staircase, "Buckle!" The reason why Uzov and others felt that they had always felt bad gradually moved from vagueness to clarity. Fin, however, just knocked out the tobacco embers. She swayed down the stairs step by step and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Please, don't do anything!" This was shouted by the daughter of the nobles of Uzov's companions, Madeleine Benz. She nervously ran up to the magician and said, "Please don't worry about the safety of Harumi and Kaya. I know a nobleman in the neighborhood who is even more powerful than Bachmann. There must be no problem for him to come forward to beg for people, and he can definitely let Harumi and Kaya return safely. ”

Madeleine grabbed someone's hand in a panic, shook it a few times, and said, "I am deeply sorry for Viscount Bachmann's choice. I'm going to go right now to get someone to help, and I'll be sure to get both of them back safely. But there's one thing I want you to say yes to. In any case, please never, do not hurt anyone, or even kill anyone. Please be sure to promise me this. ”

Looking at Madeleine's burning gaze towards her, she was a little dark, and she only felt that this woman was completely in a panicked mood. Lin cracked his mouth and smiled, "Of course, of course, I promised you." I didn't intend to kill people in the first place. ”

"Great. Please don't worry about their safety, I'll go right now and find someone to rescue Halumi and them. As soon as she said that, Madeleine couldn't even eat breakfast, and ran out in a hurry. The nobleman who could help was farther away from Viscount Bachmann's domain. Fast horses gallop and maybe arrive before dusk.

But no matter how fast it is, there will be a way to solve this matter tomorrow. I just hope that until then, the current Viscount Bachmann will not do anything that will make people regret it. Just to say...... That one is not a good kind. Just hope that everything is still in time.

Staying in the hotel, Fen sat down across from someone and lit a second pipe of cigarette. Although he was quite dissatisfied with this man's usual attitude of calming people, his strange calm behavior this time made the lich unsure of someone's heart. So I plan not to have a seizure for the time being, and wait and see what happens.

Several dwarves behaved a little overwhelmed. After spending some time with the girl, the two of them got along much better than their teacher and the sister. They also didn't want the girl to be hurt in any way.

As for Uzov and others, some of them were angry, some of them were guilty, and they wanted to say a few words to show their attitude. But before he spoke, Lin first opened the map around Jasfan City and asked, "Excuse me, where is the territory of that Viscount Bachman?" ”

For such a map presentation, they have seen it once in Storm Bay, so they won't make a fuss.

Without much thought, Uzov quickly found the location of Viscount Bachmann's territory from the map. And because the terrain around this area happened to be covered by the first satellite in the sky, the Viscount Castle also appeared on the map and was pointed out.

After pointing to the map, Uzhov wanted to ask the man what he was going to do, but when he raised his head, there was no trace of the magician, only the lich holding a dry tobacco pipe and swallowing clouds and mist. I just wanted to say that the map is still there, why are people gone? With a bow, the map was gone. I wondered what had happened, and when I raised my head again, even the lich couldn't look at anyone.

"This ......," Uzov was stunned. Looking at his companions and several dwarves around him, they all had the same expressions. "Nothing bad is going to happen," he said. ”

"Well, didn't Lord Tripwood promise Madeleine that he wouldn't kill anyone. It shouldn't be a big problem. "Someone forced himself to think optimistically.

"Could it just be that he wants to get his apprentice back with a sword?" After having the optimistic aristocracy, it was thought that it was the magician who was willing to give in. But in the tone, it's hard to tell whether it's happy or worried.

Uzov could only sigh at these words and said, "What did you do this time...... Alas. Looking at his companion, who was a member of the military aristocracy, he wanted to be angry, but he couldn't. Unlike the companions of the turtledove alliance, these descendants of the nobility sometimes have different ideas and concepts from those of ordinary people.

It's like a ship knife. Uzhov knew that his aristocratic friends were among them, and they more or less contributed to the trouble. He stopped these people several times, but to no avail. Although there is some helplessness, it is not incomprehensible.

For these descendants of the nobility and women who do not have the right of first succession, in addition to marriage, it takes a lot of credit to gain a firm foothold in the circle of the nobility. However, the militaristic state that has been peaceful for a long time, without large-scale wars, will not be able to obtain military merits, and naturally there is no hope of being knighted.

As a heavy weapon of another empire, the ship chopping knife can be taken for the militaristic state, of course, it is a credit. It may not be possible to get the lion's share, but as long as you write down a name in the credit book, you will not only be valued within the family, but even an olive branch will be thrown outside.

It's just something in the hands of a magician, how can it be so easy to take?

But the people of the militaristic state are used to being arrogant, and ordinary magicians are just as little people as they come and go, just like ordinary people. But this time, there is a resurrected 'Demon King', regardless of its authenticity, and a magician who is useless in all evaluations.

But, is that one really just like the comments in the forum, leaving the magic tower and letting others take what they want? The previous conflict in Storm Bay was not as rumored to be.

When encountering a bad person, you can infer the behavior pattern of the other party from what the other party has done, and you can take precautions. But when a good person crosses that line, no one knows what he will do. And the most troubling thing is, where is that line?

Looking at the position where the magician disappeared silently, Uzov, like the others, felt a pang of unease.
