Soon, Freya found Oswald through the crowd.

— but she immediately regretted it.

It's better that you haven't found it!

I saw a smile on Oswald's old face, holding a full glass of cold beer, and hooking up with the human youth next to him, who looked no more than twenty or thirty years old. And that young man was the guy who had just screamed and almost punctured Freya's eardrums.

"I told you, I told you! Pierrick is a hero! ”

The young man's face was flushed.

He put his arm around Oswald's shoulders and smiled excitedly: "He did it!" In the last ten minutes, he scored three goals in a row and reversed the ——! ”

Immediately, he rolled over and stepped on the table at the front of the bar—one foot on the stool and the other on the bar table. He felt as if he were playing a musical instrument, his right hand passionately stroking the air.

"Reverse ~ Turn ~"

He stared at the lizardman bartender who was calmly wiping his glass, leaning his face over and singing affectionately, while the bartender patted his right leg on the bar table and motioned for him to take his foot off.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, the young man directly stood alone, holding the wine glass high with one hand, standing on the chair he had just made with one leg, and the whole person turned up with the rotating chair, and sang at the same time: "Reverse - turn - "

The rest of the people in the bar also cheered to see how long he could go around like this. Even Oswald.

He applauded with enthusiasm and cheered him at the top of his voice.

And just then, the young man spun around and noticed Freya and Lily standing in the doorway.

He whistled and walked over to the two of them. Then he bowed slightly as if he had changed into a different person, and saluted his chest with a very gentlemanly manner: "Good morning, two beautiful young ladies!" But...... Are you guys in the wrong place? ”

"Don't chase my guests, Robert."

The lizardman bartender, who calmly wiped his wine glass, shouted dissatisfiedly: "I also sell curry fried rice here!" ”

"I was just thinking...... All right. ”

The young man known as Robert looked around and shrugged his shoulders.

There is no doubt that it is not even noon yet. People who come out to drink at this time are basically there to watch the game.

This kind of dark, hot, smoky and noisy place will not have young and beautiful girls in it at all. It's normal for Robert to think they're going wrong.

But as soon as Robert turned around, he saw Oswald's look of hell.

"Your daughter? Or a granddaughter? ”

The middle-aged uncle next to him looked at Freya's slightly pointed ears, looked back at Oswald and asked, "Looking for you?" ”

“…… Not really, but it should have come to me. ”

Oswald got up a little embarrassed, straightened his clothes, and regained his indifferent appearance.

But there is no doubt about it...... Neither Freya nor Lily could put the cold and rational appearance of Oswald on the old elf.

It's like a slender ghost-like stereotype that has become a living person.

…… But that feeling is not annoying.

Oswald followed the two of them out, and soon there was a sound of laughter behind them.

The elven butler nodded respectfully and politely, and then folded his hands: "Long time no see, Miss Freya." Please also don't care about their faux pas, they are all good people with no malicious intent. ”

Obviously, he remembered Freya all along.

"I'm sure I wouldn't care about that," Freya looked at the elven butler with her hands on her chest, "but you...... Old man, your vigilance has been relaxed.

"If it had been before, you would have noticed it when we walked in. Regardless, you'll definitely be looking back. ”

"I'm old too, after all."

Oswald sighed and replied softly, "I've already come to the Second Ring to retire. ”

Freya blinked a little strangely, "It's not easy, Mr. Oswald. Are you finally old? ”

"After all, my mission has been accomplished."

The corners of Oswald's mouth rose slightly.

On his thin face, which was as thin as an old wolf, there was a smile that he had almost never shown before: "Miss Yulia is already healthy, and I don't need me anymore from the little young master Aihuasi." Young Master Edward is also on the right track, and the master has already given me freedom...... It's great to be sure you're doing well. ”

"Master's ......"

Lily was keenly aware of one of the words: "Mr. Oswald, have you found the master?" ”

"Yes, as soon as I came to the sect, I immediately found the master."

Oswald nodded: "His Majesty the Pope back then, it was the Founder Family that let us protect Avalon...... This guards until death. But if the guarded family no longer needs us, then we are free.

"In the name of Moriarty, the Lord has relieved me of my position as Guardian. So now, I'm no longer a guardian elf. Originally, I wanted to go back and continue to protect Young Master Aihuas, say goodbye, and then help the young master go through the process of inheriting the Moriarty family, and finally help the young master find a reliable new butler. But the lord said I didn't need to go back to Avalon—it was his last order for me, and I couldn't help it.

"After suddenly being idle, I was a little confused. I would like to meet His Majesty the Pope and report on my work. And ask Your Majesty what else can be done...... But His Majesty the Pope refused to see me. ”

“…… Is it a refusal, or can't be seen? ”

Lily asked.

"It's a refusal."

Oswald added with great certainty.

For he still remembered the words of His Majesty the Pope - let my knights have a good rest, I am running out of time. These were the words that Cardinal Matilda conveyed on her behalf.

And Cardinal Matilda's credibility, Oswald can still trust.

Thinking of this, the old elf glanced at Lily and was keenly aware of something: "You asked...... Is there something wrong with His Holiness the Pope?

"And, Lily...... Since you will appear in the Sect Kingdom, does it mean that Young Master Ivas is also here? ”

He didn't say much, just narrated plainly: "You should follow Master Ewass." ”

"Ivus has important things to do."

Freya reassured, "He's going alone—you have to have some faith in Ehuas, old man." He is no longer the little boy who needs our care and care. As a man, he's always going to do what he has to do, and you leave him alone.

"Compared to that ......"

She said this, looking around the street: "Is there a suitable place here to sit down and talk?" ”

"Please come with me."

Oswald should be down.

Obviously, he has been familiar with this place for the past few months. There were even many people in the streets and alleys who greeted Oswald, and this old man, who looked terrifying, also nodded gently to everyone.

The stiff and cold expression of a corpse is no longer visible.

Seeing all this, Lily was heartily relieved.

- It would be nice if Master Ivas saw this scene for himself, she thought.

Soon, Oswald found a teahouse.

This is a teahouse opened by the traveling merchants of the Primal Empire in the country...... Although the tea itself was induced by local magic, the tea-making technique and the roasted tea technique were both orthodox crafts from the Taichu Empire.

They found a private room, and Oswald expertly ordered a pot of tea and some snacks.

While waiting for the refreshments and tea leaves, Freya told Oswald what had happened to them.

And the old man listened, nodding his head constantly. And from time to time put forward quite constructive opinions - the old man's experience is still no problem, the old elves who have been mixed in Avalon for hundreds of years can be regarded as the top level in the entire sect and even the world. He is usually silent, just to stay true to his identity.

When he heard the last, Oswald frowned slightly.

He picked up a piece of wild sour jujube cake with his fork and fell into deep thought.

"Cardinal Rocky ......"

The old elf whispered, "I've heard this name, and the lord mentioned it to me not long ago. ”
