The three of them stood in front of the palace and thought about what to do next, after all, Barbarossa kicked them out to let them deal with the things that needed to be done in Douglas as soon as possible, and immediately go back to Victor when they were done, of course, Marlowe was not included.

"Paul, do you have enough money?" said Gandalf, who came out and lit his pipe and took a few more puffs.

Paul immediately clutched his pockets vigilantly and said, "You're not serious, we don't have time to drink right now." ”

"Of course you don't have time, you have to visit your mother, your sister, don't you?" Gandalf spat out a smoke ring, and with a hook of his fingers, Paul's money bag flew into his hand. "I'll take Marlowe around to see the Lower Dorles, and that will be very helpful for the rest of the work, and rest assured, I won't sell the chief for wine. ”

Marlowe wanted to refuse, but Gandalf whispered in his ear, "Paul hasn't seen his mother for more than a month." ”

This reminded Marlowe of his mother, who hadn't seen her in months, and wondered if she and Arya were doing at Fort Two Springs......

Paul, as the first commander of the city of Famedos, will definitely not have a chance to return home in the next few months, and Marlowe finally decides to follow Gandalf around in order to give his brother time to spend with his mother.

"Hey, we don't have time to waste, Marlowe has to go back and get the information!" Paul shouted brainlessly, looking at the backs of the two of them.

"That thing is not ready for two days, let's go, you can go and do your own work. ”

Gandalf's voice could be heard in the distance, and soon even the figure disappeared at the end of the street.

As Gandalf said, he took Marlowe around the city of Dorles, during which he also introduced the history and cultural monuments of the ancient city, but what embarrassed Marlowe was that the young girls and young women on the street would always look at him frequently, these women were dressed in beautiful dresses, and the enthusiasm and surprise in their hearts were overflowing, no way, who called Marlowe to have a handsome face like an elf, and he was so tall that he could not walk on the street without being noticed.

But fortunately, the crowd on the street did not recognize Marlowe's mixed-race blood, and he was accompanied by a white runner, some girls thought that Marlowe was the son of a certain big man, and soon someone kept talking to him like a moth to a fire, and some shy girls frequently sent him secret waves.

Gandalf didn't step forward to stop him, but took a step back and watched with interest how Marlowe dealt with the girls.

"Look, Gandalf, I think we'd better find a place to take refuge. ”

Tactfully rejecting the girls' request to talk, Marlowe immediately took the opportunity to say that he felt that the enthusiasm of the girls was about to melt the ice wall at the eagle's beak pass.

Seeing that there were more and more girls and even two young men, Gandalf also felt that it was necessary to get out of here, so he took Marlowe through the streets and alleys, and quickly shook off the crowd of onlookers around him, and the two came to an unusually deserted street at this time.

"This is a residential area for the mages, and the poor are forbidden to enter. Gandalf explained and walked across the street to the bar.

Entering the bar, Marlowe was surprised to find that the scene in front of him had changed dramatically, it was still afternoon, the sun had not yet set outside, but the bar was already covered in night, a Milky Way hung in the sky, and the surrounding area had become a jungle scene, and a large number of fireflies emitted fluorescent lights up the bar, but at this time there was no one in the bar who seemed very deserted.

"Is this a magic illusion?" Marlowe asked, opening his mouth wide.

"Of course, I also have a lot to do with that. ”

Gandalf led Marlowe to the only place in the bar where one was sitting.

"Haha, you're here. ”

The man put down the book full of spells in his hand and looked up, only to see that this man had gray hair and was wearing a white mage robe......

"Master Saruman, we meet again. Marlowe took the initiative to greet the other party, after all, Saruman had also helped the Warcry Tribe, and was considered a benefactor of the tribe.

"Well, meet again. ”

Saruman and Gandalf have very different personalities.

After a long time of contact with Gandalf, Marlowe found that this Gandalf ** master has a very lively personality, a little like a child, and the time of contact with Saruman is not much, but it can also be seen that Saruman is calm and serious, from this aspect, Saruman is more like a real mage.

The two had just sat down across from Saruman when a human woman of about fifty years of age approached with two glasses of wine on her face and a smile on her face.

"Jeanne, let me introduce you, this is Marlowe. Gandalf greeted Jenny familiarly, and then introduced the two to each other. "Marlowe, the owner of the Midnight Bar, Saruman's wife, the golden-edged, gray-robed mage - Jenny White. ”

"Hello, nice to meet you. Marlowe didn't expect the identity of the old man of this bar to be so complicated, so he quickly got up and greeted the other party first.

"Me too. Jenny nodded slightly.

Marlowe's behavior won the favor of the other party, and Jenny looked at him as if she were an obedient child in the neighborhood.

"This glass of wine is what I asked this kid to drink. ”

"What about my cup?" Gandalf asked quickly.

Jenny did not answer him, but put her hands on Saruman's shoulders, and Saruman tacitly reached out to Gandalf and said, "Give money, fifty gold coins." ”

Gandalf jumped up in dissatisfaction: "It's not fair!

The husband and wife did not speak, but looked at Gandalf with straight eyes, and the old mage, who wanted to drink a glass of free wine, could only take out Paul's money bag and stuff it into Saruman's hand, and then the money bag was transferred to Jenny's hand, and the lady checked the bag in her hand, and then left satisfied.

Gandalf, who was full of unwillingness, glared at Saruman fiercely, who knew that the other party had picked up the book again and read it, calmed down his mood, Gandalf picked up the wine that looked transparent and colorless but had been blended, the wine reflected the night sky overhead, and the Milky Way seemed to have flown into the wine, which looked like a dream and beautiful.

"Gandalf, is this the starry sky?" Marlowe asked, curiously looking at the glass in his hand.

"Of course, this is a wine that Jenny made from the family's ancestral blending recipe. Gandalf took a sip as he spoke, and suddenly began to shake his head in silent admiration.

Seeing that Gandalf seemed to be in a better mood, Marlowe asked in a low voice: "Gandalf, why did Saruman marry Jenny, shouldn't you mages devote yourself to the wizarding world, and even stay in the mage tower to study spells without marrying for the rest of your life?"

Gandalf almost squirted the wine out of his mouth, but he swallowed it with his eyes puffed out, and said, "Who are you listening to here?"

"Isn't that what the books say?"

Yes, Marlowe's knowledge of these mages comes from the materials of the Great Library of Fort Twin Springs.

"The mage is also a human being, the mage tower is just a place where we work, as long as the people are sober-minded, they will get married, but the mages are married relatively late, so some people will misunderstand us. ”

Marlowe took a sip of the wine, and the minty cooling sensation flowed through his mouth.

"Drink it slowly, there are four different feelings in this wine, and you just drink the first feeling. Gandalf also enjoyed a sip of his drink, but his eyes looked at Saruman without blinking, and suddenly he said. "By the way, Saruman, you are a man with a wife, can I ask you something?"

Without waiting for Saruman to answer, Gandalf hung his head and said to himself, "Forget it, I still don't ask." ”

"What do you want to ask? Having a baby can't teach you. Gandalf's appearance intrigued Saruman, who once again put down the book in his hand and asked.

"You were chasing Jenny, right?"

Saruman nodded.

"I'm not in the same situation as you. Gandalf deliberately dragged out the tone of the last word.

"You ......" Saruman didn't understand what Gandalf meant at this time, and was speechless for a moment.
