"Not everyone has the courage to face the legend."

Mr. Fast's arrival reassured Annan.

In Annan's life, Fast played the role of friend and elder. But it's not like Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin who need protection as they grow up. Until now, Annan still needs the power of Mr. Fast.

Moreover, Fast's arrival raised the upper limit of the strength of the "unnamed organization" - not counting the hidden strength.

"Are you talking about the trouble of these people outside?" Fast looked out at the crowd outside the estate. "Or the Epic Mage?"

"Actually, none of them are."

"What's that?"

"I'm not the King of the North."

……

In the study, Annan spent more than ten minutes explaining the ins and outs, as well as the current situation.

"That sounds strange...... "Faste unbuttoned another button in the sweltering heat, and his fluffy chest hair poked out like seaweed, "who would be so bent on dealing with the Reeves family?" ”

"Bad guys."

There is no doubt about that.

The Reeves family led the idyllic in Ausulonde, and if it weren't for the withering population, the only male would not have left the territory to seek the lord of the city, and crashed into the web of great conspiracy.

Annan began to miss the peaceful town of Hirabayashi.

"What if you come to the tavern?"

"I've promoted Evelyn to be the acting store manager."

"Where's Wood?"

"Martin does whatever he does."

"Does he still crave human blood now?"

"Successfully quit."

Fast tells an interesting story: "I took Wood to find a guy who had fallen into a manure pit and let him suck blood, and he vomited for a day, and then he retched when he heard human blood, and now he doesn't like animal blood to drink." However, Mr. Victor will occasionally ask for some 'vampire blood' and give Wood Alien blood to improve his diet. ”

Listen to Fast and show him around the estate.

"There's something strange about your guard." Fast stared at Dela's vanishing back, "I've seen elves, they don't always ...... like this"

"I've seen two elves, and they're like that."

Even compared to Irelandze, Deira is much more normal.

"Probably because you're a warlock." Fast was noncommittal and came to the window, "You have been putting up with the slander of those people outside...... Isn't it, to be honest? ”

There weren't just humans in the crowd, there were a handful of diminutive green dwarf silhouettes at the edge - they came from the Goblin Workshop.

The dark green guys were carrying wooden signs, gathering together and screaming sharply.

They were also part of the protests because they had been robbed of their spinning wheel business by the king of the north.

"Augusta Olmedo's trick. Ormedo says leave them alone. ”

Annan is also suspicious. As Olmedo said, this kind of protest was not like the arrangement of the wise old man.

"Do you want to get rid of them?" Fast asked.

"But they're outside the manor, and there's no reason for us to get rid of them."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Fast spread his hands, "They stand outside, and I stand outside." ”

Falst, who volunteered, sneaked out from behind the manor.

Annan and Michael ran to the second-floor study and watched from a vantage point as Fast blended into the crowd of protesters. Then, without knowing what he had done, the crowd of protesters suddenly set off in chaos and the crowd fled in all directions.

The hustle and bustle that had plagued the estate for a morning dissipated.

When Fast returned, Annan gave him a thumbs up: "Reliable Mr. Fast. ”

"It's not over yet, boy." Fast rolled up his sleeves, and the helplessness and composure sent Annan back to the tavern in Hirabayashi, "Let's bring Martin back next." ”

……

A swaggering Martin appeared on the terrace, looking down condescendingly at the two standing below.

"Fast? Annan? I don't know these two! ”

Augusta Olmedo really didn't hurt Martin.

Martin was the only one in the Olmedo estate, and a group of servants who took care of their daily lives.

"What stupid are you talking about?" Mr. Fast frowned, "Get the hell out of here!" ”

"I want to take a breath!"

The reverberating shouts silenced Annan. Did he neglect to take care of Martin's psychology, causing him to fall behind, and then resentful of fate? Idealism asks himself, if Martin becomes a warlock and he is just an ordinary person, he will indeed be lonely and uncomfortable.

Annan thought Martin didn't care about that......

Just as Annan fell into self-reproach, Fast took a deep breath:

"Martin, Aunt Susan is calling you home for dinner!"

"I'm coming!"

As if freed from a control spell, Martin jumped off the terrace and smashed into the bushes below, smashing into the grass and rushing to his body covered in blades of grass, leaving Annan's brewing emotions with nowhere to vent.

Martin probably really didn't care.

In the silence of the housekeeper in the distance, Annan and Fast succeeded in carrying Martin back to the manor.

Entering the living room, Annan solemnly told Martin, "Augusta is taking advantage of you." ”

"Who is Augusta?"

“…… It's the old man who took you away. "Annan suddenly felt sad for Augusta Olmedo. How would he feel when he found out that the guy he had been taking care of for two days didn't know who he was?

"I'm not afraid."

It's just that Martin has his own unique opinion. He pointed to his head and said, "As long as I'm useless, I won't be used by others." ”

Fast used the restaurant to have apple pie to get rid of Martin. He looked at Annan: "A lot of big people need a fake weakness to hide the real weakness. So that when he is attacked, he only loses a false weakness. ”

"Annan, you need fake weakness......"

"Martin?" Annan realized who Fast was talking about.

Mr. Fast looked at him and did not speak.

"It's not good, Martin is my family." Annan rejected this approach, adding, "Although he is not very smart." ”

"Would you rather see you attacked, your friends and family implicated, or let Martin suffer for you?"

"I don't want to see it."

"If you feel guilty, make up for it in other ways." Fast said.

Annan thought thoughtfully: "For example, let Martin really become your apprentice?" ”

"No way!"

Fast's reaction was unexpectedly fierce: "I'd rather fight a dragon and be melted by the blazing dragon's breath than teach that idiot combat skills!" ”

Click-

Martin walked out of the restaurant with apple pie in hand.

"What are you talking about?"

"Mr. Fast said he would rather die than teach a man how to fight."

"That guy must be terrible."

Martin mumbled, back upstairs with apple pie in hand.

Watching Martin's back disappear, Annan changed the subject and talked about the current predicament:

"I don't know who the enemy is. Augusta Olmedo is suspicious, but he has a good son......"

"I don't know. But in my experience......"

Fast knocked on the handrail and said:

"The more they don't want you to do, the more you do it."
