This is also the time of the day when the Wildcat Inn has the slowest business.
There were a few idle people sitting sparsely in the restaurant on the first floor, and a group of them were sitting near the windows.
There are three people in this group, two men and one woman.
One is the mercenary Kruber, and the other is the lame weaponsmith Alonso.
The last one is the fugitive former court potion master Wei Ge. She looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman and must have used Transfiguration to disguise herself.
Kluber took a sip of light ale and wiggled his hips uncomfortably. "I say, were both of you recruited by that mysterious master?"
Alonso shrugged, his face with several scars looking a little fierce.
"To be precise, I just came to take a look."
Wei Ge's face was expressionless like a puppet: "I'm just like Alonso, just taking a look. After all, it's rare to be recruited by someone who comes to you on his own initiative."
Seeing that the two had no intention of talking further, Kluber stopped talking and just drank the cheap light ale sip by sip.
As he was drinking, the door of the hotel lobby was suddenly pushed open, and a tall man wearing a large hobo cloak walked into the hall.
The man was leaning on an ordinary wooden stick, had an old face full of wrinkles, gray hair, and a slightly hunched back. He looked like an ordinary elderly homeless man.
Alonso and Vigo didn't react much. After all, there were homeless people like this everywhere and it was not surprising at all.
The mercenary Kruber didn't care much at first and continued drinking. But after drinking less than half a sip, he suddenly stopped and seemed to remember something.
He immediately turned around to look at the old man.
Halfway through, he felt something was wrong, so he turned back and only observed with the corner of his eye.
The more he looked, the more surprised he was. Later, a look of fear appeared on his face, and his hands were shaking slightly, so that a lot of beer in the glass spilled out.
Alonso, who had been looking out the window, finally realized that something was wrong with him: "Mercenary, are you having the seizure?"
Kruber swallowed hard and pointed to the old man sitting in the corner on the other side of the hall: "Do you know who that is?"
"A poor old man."
"Shh~"
Kruber quickly made a small gesture, his eyes widening as round as green beans: "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Wandering Sage Levin."
Alonso was shocked when these words were spoken. The half-drunk ale he had just drunk went directly into his trachea. He started coughing repeatedly, and his face turned red.
After a while, he returned to normal: "Are you sure?"
Kruber nodded slightly: "Last night, a big thing happened outside the Blue Whale Mansion. I think you all heard about it, right?"
Alonso and Vigo both nodded.
The story of the wandering sage leading countless people to repel the Aaron warriors and successfully protecting Princess Weilan is simply a legendary epic.
After a night of brewing, it had already spread throughout the entire Dawn City and quickly radiated to the entire Weilan Island and even the Natural Alliance.
Now, this legendary wizard who possesses terrifying magical powers appeared in a simple country inn, drinking 3 copper coins a cup of light ale and eating coarse wheat bread mixed with sand and bran. It really makes people admire him.
Because his simple life was definitely not due to poverty, but because of his noble and flawless moral sentiments like a saint.
Alonso sighed deeply: "A wise man is a wise man. His thought realm is far beyond the reach of mortals like us."
Wei Ge nodded in agreement. She said seriously, "This is one of the most respectable mages in the Natural Alliance."
Kruber chuckled: "If I had such legendary power, I would definitely rob the vault of Dawn Bank."
Wei Ge glanced at him with disdain: "If you keep thinking like this, then you can only be a high-level warrior in your life."
Kruber shrugged: "I'm just a mercenary. I don't have such great ambitions."
He himself had no confidence in breaking through to the master level. In fact, as he got older, his strength not only did not improve, but actually regressed.
Just then, the door was pushed open again, and Arya and Stonard walked in one after another, then turned and walked towards them.
Arya said: "My lord has arrived, my lord."
Kluber immediately stood up to greet them, but Alonso and Vigo sat there without moving.
But all three of them looked towards the restaurant door.
There were footsteps behind the door, and soon two people walked in.
The man is tall and strong, and the woman is tall and slender.
The man had an ordinary face, but the woman was surprisingly beautiful!
As soon as she walked into the hotel restaurant, she instantly attracted everyone's attention, as if a golden phoenix had landed on a grass nest, and the light it emitted turned the grass nest into a magnificent palace.
"Hiss~~~~"
Everyone in the hotel was stunned and couldn't help but gasp.
Then, the man and woman walked towards Kruber and the others side by side.
When they got closer, the well-informed mercenary had already recognized the identities of the two men.
He pointed at the two of them with trembling fingers, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
“Princess Chen Chenxi and Niao Niao Niao Niao. Baron of the White Sturgeon Island!”
He also went to the Garden Square last night, so he got to know Baron of White Sturgeon Island.
As for Princess Chenxi, there is no need to say more.
The princess often participated in festival ceremonies organized by the temple, and once you saw her face, you would never forget it in your life.
Alonso jumped up like a spring, bowed, and addressed her respectfully as Her Royal Highness.
As for Wei Ge, she stood up normally, saluted normally, and her face remained calm.
In fact, except for the wandering sage Levin in the corner, everyone in the hall, including the innkeeper, saluted Princess Dawn from a distance.
Selena was used to such scenes. She smiled kindly and nodded in return, emitting an innate nobility and elegance.
The people of Vilan who were returned the greeting were all honored, and looked so excited that they seemed ready to fall to the ground and kiss the princess' shoes the next moment.
Serena looked at Kruber and the other two and asked with a smile, "My husband said he recruited three rare talents and wanted me to help him take a look. Are you three?"
Kruber had guessed something long ago, and was the first to return to normal at this time.
He straightened his chest and showed himself to be a real soldier: "Yes, Your Highness, it's us!"
Alonso stammered, trying to say that he hadn't agreed yet.
But he couldn't say these words because he was already very moved.
Being able to follow Princess Dawn and serve her is the highest life pursuit for most of the common people of Dawn.
Alonso was willing to follow the princess to the desolate and barren Sturgeon Island.
If even a noble princess can endure this suffering, then certainly Alonso can too.
So, he also straightened his chest and said, "Your Highness, it is my supreme honor to serve you."
But Wei Ge remained calm.
One is because she is from Levender and is a foreigner.
Second, she was once the chief apprentice of the palace potion master and did not have any unrealistic fantasies about people like princes and princesses who were difficult for common people to approach.
Of course, she had to admit that this Princess Chenxi was indeed extraordinary. Both in appearance and character, she was much better than the average princes and princesses.
But it has nothing to do with her, she only cares about how much benefit she can get.
So she responded politely.
"Your Highness, I have not yet agreed to serve you and the Baron."
"I admire your courage in pursuing happiness, and I envy the deep relationship between you and the Baron, but I heard that the Duke banned trade between the White Sturgeon Island and the counties of Weilan, turning the White Sturgeon Island into an isolated island overseas."
"At the same time, your actions have also been met with hostility from the Kingdom of Aaron. Although the Aaron people no longer threaten your lives due to the protection of Sage Levin, no one knows how long this protection can last."
"What if, I mean what if, Sage Levin gets seriously ill, or something unexpected happens, then the White Sturgeon Island will be in great danger."
Selena listened carefully, and after listening, she whispered to Rosen: "This potion master is an extraordinary person, but her loyalty is also the most difficult to obtain."
Rosen nodded in agreement, but he really wanted to get the other party's service.
Because the essence of alchemy is the chemistry of another world, or magical chemistry, it has great development potential and occupies an indispensable position in his island development plan.
But due to various reasons, he currently lacks knowledge of potions.
Therefore, Wei Ge, a talent who possesses the most cutting-edge knowledge of potions in the current era, is very useful.
But he also knew that with just himself and the princess, no matter how much he talked, he could not gain her loyalty.
Because this court potion master is extremely knowledgeable and has a very clear mind, he is not easy to fool.
Therefore, external forces must be introduced.
So he took a step forward, and just as he was about to "start persuading" someone, a slightly old voice came from the corner of the hall.
"Your Highness, Baron, we meet again, what a coincidence."
The wandering sage Levin appears.
Rosen was 'greatly surprised', as if he had just spotted the other person, and he immediately walked over with his wife Selena to pay his respects.
"So it's you, Sage. It's our honor to see you again so soon."
Selena was also very grateful to the sage, and when she saw him again, she was filled with joy and bowed sincerely.
Master Levin sat in his seat and calmly accepted the greetings from the two men. After learning his identity, everyone in the inn thought it was very normal.
After all, Levin was the couple's savior.
After the two of them saluted, Levin looked at Selena with a smile on his face.
"Most of the nobles in Weilan are spineless. Now there is a princess who is honest and fearless of power. I am very happy and admire her."
"You have already held your wedding in the temple, right?"
"Yes, Sage," Selena admitted frankly.
Levin said, "Since Mother Nature has allowed us to meet again, I will give you another wedding blessing."
Just when everyone was very curious, they saw a colorful ball of light as condensed as crystal slowly condense from the tip of the wooden stick in Levin's hand.
At first, the ball of light was only the size of a sesame seed, but gradually, it grew to the size of an apple, emitting a soft colorful light, like an incomparably exquisite gem.
When this ball of light appeared, all the mages present, including Wei Ge, were deeply moved.
The five-ring magic power of a sage is the dream of every wizard.
Under the gazes of everyone, the ball of light broke away from the staff and slowly floated above Rosen and the princess, eventually turning into strands of light rain and falling on the two of them.
Just when everyone was puzzled by what he meant, the voice of Sage Levin was heard.
"This is a five-ring blessing spell that I created, called Levin's Revenge."
"It's very powerful. It consumed 90% of my mana."
"Whether I live or die, it will remain etched on your souls for 100 years."
"When someone uses a fatal attack on you, this blessing will automatically block the attack for you and generate a very powerful mystical curse."
"As long as you silently recite the name of your enemy in your mind within the next ten seconds, even if this person is hiding in Aaron's Lion Fortress, he will suffer endless misfortune!"
After a pause, he smiled and said, "I also believe that there is no wizard in this world who has the ability to remove my blessing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the look of awe on Wei Ge's face became even more intense.
It was obvious that she was frightened by the sage's spell.
Because the power of the Five-Ring Sage is almost the pinnacle of magic, no one knows what kind of magic the sage possesses except the sage himself.
Even among sages, there is mutual awe.
As for the others, they naturally believed in the sage's words.
Rosen watched everyone's performance and laughed in his heart: "Hey, the title of sage is just a bluff."
In fact, although this spell exists, its effect is far from as strong as described. But who dares to easily verify the sage's spell? He immediately took Selena to thank Levin.
Levin smiled faintly: "Goodbye, young people."
After saying this, his figure suddenly disappeared in the small inn, and on the table in front of him, there was still half a cup of light ale that had not been finished.
Everyone in the inn was still immersed in the current legend, and reverence for the sage was written on everyone's face.
But some people start from emotion and stop at courtesy, while others take direct action.
'Click'
Suddenly, the innkeeper stepped forward, grabbed the wine glass that the sage had drunk from, and shouted excitedly.
"The Holy Grail~ This is the Holy Grail that the Sage drank from~ It contains the Holy Ale that the Sage did not finish drinking!"
After saying this, he drank the beer in the glass in one gulp, and the other drinkers slapped their thighs in jealousy when they saw him.
Some who were quick to react picked up the stool where Levin had sat and ran away, shouting as they ran.
"This is the holy stool. From now on it will be my old Tom's heirloom!"
Immediately, people started grabbing plates, tables, and even prying the floor where the sage had stood.
The inn lobby was in chaos, but it also indirectly demonstrated the high reputation of Sage Levin among the people of Veran.
'The momentum we created today is good, but we have to continue to build momentum in the future and promote Levin to be Weilan, and even the flawless saint of the Natural Alliance, hehehe.'
Rosen thought so in his heart, but his face was full of "relief": "Madam, it seems that Mother Nature is looking after us."
Selena nodded slightly in agreement, "That's right."
She then turned to look at Wei Ge: "Master, are you still worried now?"
Wei Ge shook her head and knelt down to salute: "It is an honor to serve Your Highness."
She could see clearly that the remote location of the White Sturgeon Island was perfect for her to hide from the Levinder royal family.
The baron is also a hero. He married a princess and received strong protection from a sage. Naturally, he would find ways to develop his territory.
Therefore, her future life should not be too bad.
