The town of Crest is dominated by steel houses, but there are still many Terran stone buildings. Tonight, Glori rests in a brick and stone arch building in the Terran architectural style. At this time, the smell of freshly grilled meat wafted from there.

......

Kent opened another bottle of wine, his face full of pleasure. "What a wonderful battle you fought today, and I still remember the witch's funny expression," he said, "and it is time for this old witch who has bewitched the people to taste retribution." ”

Kent filled the cups of the people. Dylan watched the glass overflow with a hint of satisfaction, but kept his mouth shut.

"I really don't like to eat crepes because I always think of someone. I'd better have some roast wild boar," Dylan casually sipped a glass of wine, "It's a nice place, I love it." It's so rich here. ”

"I'll never forget March 10, 2022, the day of the Templar Kyle's betrayal and the day the disaster began. Iris said sadly.

"Yes, we must never forget," Zoe said, "but we have to talk about the present." ”

"Actually, just the other day, I received a letter. The letter said that Prince Shinno knew about the Golden Covenant. So, I came here to look for clues. Glori took a sip of wine to fill his glass. Then he looked at Kent.

"Well, we also came to save the prince, but it was disappointing that we were caught by them. Therefore, we also fell victim to their power tricks. Iris cleaned up the dishes on the table.

"Wait, Prince Shenno, Golden Covenant, you'd better not be too direct when you speak, at least wait for me to leave. Although I don't know what you're talking about, you are outsiders after all, and you have caused such a big storm. Kent shook his head and had already walked to the door, looking like he was leaving.

Glori kept his eyes on Kent.

"I'm sorry, but you don't have to be so nervous. If you're willing to take us in, of course we'll trust you," Zoe continued, pressing her hands on the back of her chair, "and we're not going to give you any trouble." ”

"When I took you in, I was already in trouble, but I better not let me know too much. Kent said.

"Friend, sit there, don't you? Dylan tore off another piece of roast.

However, Kent stretched out his hands and refused, as if dodging a magic box that was about to open.

Dylan smiled and turned to look at Glori, "That is, Glori is the other person that Iris said came to save the prince. ”

"Before I went to the Sleeping Stone House to save you, I received another letter. Glori pondered, handing the letter to Dylan.

"So, according to the letter, you're here to save them......" Dylan felt incredulous, "but ......"

Before Dylan could finish, Glori spoke. "But I didn't expect to meet you here, I was lucky today. He was thoughtful.

"Hey, bro. Rocky is much luckier than we are, you say, and you're just invited by the client, like me," Dylan said, "It's true, neither of us live by luck, you know it, and you never rely on luck. ”

"Yes, none of us are lucky people. A smile flashed at Glori, as if he already knew the answer.

But this thing was really unexpected, and his childhood playmate appeared like this, Glori thought. He became more and more convinced of the difficulty of the journey, because if things went too well, trouble was coming. However, he was already prepared in his heart.

"What are you going to do after this, is there any place to go?" he looked at Dylan with anticipation in his eyes, and his eyes were on Kent.

"Of course it's to get the prince's reward, make a marquis, and marry a beautiful lady," Dylan let his eyes pass over to Iris and then to Zoe, "and ah, a few more white and chubby ......" he laughed involuntarily. Glori followed.

"Don't look at me," Zoe scrambled, "I'm going to tidy up my room." She glanced at the blushing Elrith and got up and left the round table. And Iris put down the cutlery in her hand, covered her face and chased after her.

"It seems that this glass of wine will not be drunk, because they left in a hurry, and we can only look at their backs in embarrassment. Dylan said with a smile.

"Dylan, you don't seem to have changed much, but this joke is not humorous at all. They're already planning to clean you up......" Glori smiled faintly as he looked at Dylan eating pig's trotters. Then, he turned to look at the two girls who were walking away and said, "He's always been like this, please don't care." ”

"You guys had a great conversation, and it's best to forget about me. I don't want you to be chased to ask about the whereabouts of the Prince, or about the Golden Covenant. Kent forced a smile.

Dylan held up the brass cup, intending to drink the last one with the group. "We've got to finish this one, but they're not going to be with us. He gestured to Kent with his glass.

"We're not going to ask you about those things. You're a good person, and we won't force it. Glori said. Then, he subconsciously lowered his head and thought. Kent was smiling hard just now, I could see it clearly, he thought.

"You're all good people, but I can't help you much. Friends, please forgive me. Kent shrugged.

"We're all good people, it's just that some people like to make inexplicable jokes," Zoe sat on the handrail of the stairs and slid down before picking up her glass, "This is the last glass, and it's my share with Irris." ”

"Cheers, friends," Kent said with a smile, "and this is the last one." If you have more, you will be drunk. After drinking this cup, I have to go back to the manor. ”

The reluctance and disappointment on Kent's face were once again in Glory's eyes. He wasn't drunk at all, and how could this wine get drunk so easily, if it was Dylan, he could have drunk the keg, but it really didn't mean anything, but it was obvious that Kent was smiling just now, and it was wondering, Glori thought.

Glori's words were as few as before, but much better. And the whole piece of pig's trotters did not block Dylan's mouth, and he was still chattering.

"Glori, do you remember the messenger of the returning traveler? I was startled when I received the letter, it was a bumpy walk of Daddy Shinno, and he was still on a crutch that was almost broken. But when he left, it turned out to be flying...... What kind of person is the person who delivers you the letter?" Dylan ate with relish.

"I'm not as lucky as you are, because the person who delivers the letter is a gentleman, and he doesn't have a cane. Glori got up, his back to the living room. By doing so, Kent wouldn't have noticed the change in the expression on his face, he thought.

"Look, it's getting late, and the moonlight is shining through the window. Distinguished guests, stay here for the night. I'll see you tomorrow, I'm going back to the manor," said Kent, draping his gray plush coat over his body, "it's safe here, and hardly anyone will come to the streets here." But when you go out during the day, you still have to be careful of the soldiers on patrol. Also, you have to be wary of migrants like me and try not to talk to them. ”

"Thank you very much, sir, for taking care of you. Iris came down from the upper floors to bid farewell to the owner of the house.

"Don't come out and send it. If you have something, put the pot on the balcony without flowers. Kent said. Then, his figure faded into the depths of the street.

"He's gone," Glori said, closing the door, "we'll have to be careful, that guy doesn't look right." ”

"Brother, whatever, tonight, we can fill our stomachs and sleep well. Now, it feels like the sky is falling and can't get me out of here. Dylan patted Glory on the shoulder and said.

"We went upstairs to rest. Good night, guys. Zoe stepped up the steps, then turned back. Then, she took Ireth's hand and ran upstairs.

"Now it's just us, do you have a plan for the future, or how to save the prince of Shenno. Dylan lowered his glass.

"Speaking of Shennuo...... Dylan, we can't get into town during the daylight tomorrow, and now there are our wanted warrants everywhere," Glori put down the half-drunk glass of wine, "Irrith and Zoe limit the use of magic without a magical medium. Tomorrow night, we'll pick up Irris's spellbook and Zoe's spell set. ”

"Wait, Zoe said their stuff was in the storage room of the Lord of Redreeve City's hall, which seemed to be close to where Prince Kano was being held. Dylan was about to open his greasy mouth to speak, when Glori frowned and continued.

"You want to do both things in one night?" said Dylan, suddenly excited.

"I'm afraid that when we go to save the prince again, the security will be tighter. Judging from the current situation, it is more stable to do things one by one. Be prepared for everything, not too hasty. Glori explained again.

"As always, do as you say," Dylan said, with a nonchalant look on his face, "just do as you say, one by one." ”

"So be it. Glori blinked his tired eyes.

"Brother, that's it for today. Good dreams," Dylan tore a piece of fat and stuffed it into his mouth, "I need to go to bed later, you know." The roast pig filled the room with the scent......" he watched as Glori got up.

"Good dreams...... I hope so, to borrow your kind words......" Glori said with a smile. Then, with a wave of his hand, he turned and walked to his room. "Good night, brother. He said.

......

“...... The wound is healing," Glori put his blue cloak down to the head of the bed, took off his shirt, and slowly untied the bandage.

"There's not enough potions," Glori looked at the potion in the purple cloth bag and took out a bottle to drink, but put the potion back in his hand, "The only bottle of Momiji Tree magic potion...... These days, I have to ask for an errand to do...... But what else can be done?" he opened the money pouch hanging from his waist and counted it. He looked at the silver coin in a daze. Before the founding of the Demon Dragon Empire, the currency was printed with the God of Light and the River of Moonlight, but now it is printed with the head of the God of Order. Angrily, he slammed the silver coin onto his desk and covered it with a blanket.

On a quiet night, Glori looked through the window at the long shadows that flickered across the street, recalling the way the landlord Kent spoke. "Hopefully he's a good guy. He said.
