Xu Jun was thinking about leaving last night, but he didn't dare to think about why he wanted to go to the Golden Banner Empire quickly... Why go to the Holy City of the Golden Banner Empire to report to the emperor and the Pope that the Demon King did not die, on the other hand, he was firm. From his standpoint, he wondered whether the Pope or the Emperor would let him challenge the Demon King again... That would be justified.
As for the first time he went to challenge the Demon King, it was purely because he wanted to go, and the purpose of clearing the game was to win the first prize of the bravest profession with the highest difficulty. зゝ∠)_
Xu Jun said he wanted to leave. Although the people of Mundama City knew that he would leave sooner or later, everyone from Ker Irene to the old Larry family, from the guards to the little girls, did not want him to leave like this. . The city of Mondama is still quite depressed, but it will be much better in winter. It is hot in summer and warm in winter. Many nobles of the Golden Banner Empire are willing to come here to spend the winter on vacation. At that time, there will be a Winter Snow Festival. In the duel match, Xu Jun is properly able to take the first place, so that he can show his face even more.
Xu Jun thought about it and still refused. He had also passed the Winter Snow Festival, and it was still in the game. At that time, the setting of the game was rather strange. The Winter Snow Festival was the three-in-one of Halloween, Christmas, and Spring Festival. During the seven days of the festival, children would be even more bearish, but adults could not beat or teach children, and they had to give them all kinds of candy.
Xu Jun, who had been in the orphanage for a long time, now wants to fight when he sees a bear child, and is insensitive to the Winter Snow Festival.
He found some reasons to leave immediately. After October, it will be winter, and once winter comes, the maintenance fee of the road will increase, so the toll fee will also increase accordingly. If the toll for each section of the road is five copper plates in summer, it will increase to ten copper plates in winter - this is the rule in the north of the Golden Banner Empire.
The minister who proposed this rule simply fell into the eyes of money.
The Jinqi Empire can go north to the Bingling Grassland. It is indeed very cold there, and there are very few daylight hours in winter. It is reasonable to charge more tolls, but the south can only get really cold in November. From October I started to raise the price of tolls, which is really ugly.
Not to mention that the southern free cities are theoretically not part of the Golden Banner Empire.
Xu Jun sighed for a while. When he arrived at Mondama City from Shengyuan Heights, he still thought about not taking the road and brushing wild monsters along the way, but... Now, after scavenging in the church, on this map All the alchemy materials that can be obtained have been put into his backpack, and this map seems to have lost its original appeal _(:зゝ∠)_
Forget it, let the monsters and sub-civilization races in this land thrive for a while longer, not excessive hunting is the way to sustainable development.
"Senior Xu Jun, I'll go with you!" The next day, Ska wrapped himself up and put it on his back, and put on a "civilian" suit without embroidery or lace. Combat outfit, strolling the street with Xu Jun, buying some consumables for use on the road: "Guss and Mike have already been drugged by me, and they are still lying in the house... Let's go quickly! Senior , I decided to follow you, I won't go home!"
Although the red-haired little knight leader Ska's knight group temporarily disbanded, and the group members have returned to their respective homes to find their mothers, he did not seem to be greatly affected. Walking with Xu Jun was also brisk. The red ponytail behind her full of energy jumped and jumped: "Senior, I want to understand, my aristocratic status can't help me, I must have my own real career, I like adventure, this is what I want Life."
It seems that this child has been completely swayed by Xu Jun, and he also wants to be a professional brave or adventurer.
Xu Jun: "...But isn't your brother coming to pick you up right away?"
As soon as the word brother came out, Ska's face was almost white to the naked eye: "Don't mention him, cough, senior, if my brother knows that I forcibly stayed here and beat the dead, I guess I will die. Now... that brother of mine has a bad character and likes to catch my faults since I was a child... "
Xu Jun occasionally hummed to indicate that he was listening. The rise of Ska did not pay attention to the surrounding things, nor did he see people on the side of the road covering their mouths and whispering about nobles and knights. Since the young knight was educated by reality in Golden Orchard Village, he has been depressed for two days. In the middle of the night, he often doubts his dreams and pursuits, whether he is too naive and just wants to do something in line with it.” It's just a matter of the status of "Knight", isn't this very naive
But in Mondama City, seeing Senior Xu Jun do these things, his mind has long since changed.
It turns out that many things are not impossible to do, just that you can’t just do it without thinking about anything and not being prepared. It turns out that even if you want to do something good, you have to think about it before and after. Since Bishop Carloman is a bad person, he kills people directly, then he is not a hero of Montama City, but a sinner.
From Snow Orchid, to Marlowe in the slums, to Old Haney's tomb, these items don't seem difficult, but if you ask Ska to do it, he can't do it so well.
Because he doesn't want to go to the slums, and when he sees poor old Larry's family, he can only think of giving some money, and he won't even want to open the tomb of old Hani - even if he can think of it, he may directly let him Others do it, such as ordering the servants, while he sits in the hall, waiting for the people below to report.
But Xu Jun used his actions to tell him that if this kind of thing was handed over to others, he would not be able to obtain the most real first-hand information.
"My brother often says that as a nobleman, if he doesn't learn to be lazy, he doesn't deserve his status... I think what she said is wrong." Ska made a conclusion and looked at Xu Jun seriously, but Xu Jun... He looked at Ska with pity in his eyes.
"When did I say that nobles have to learn to be lazy? Huh?"
With a negative voice coming from behind, Ska's face became horrific.
The red pony tail drooped down, and Ska's hands trembled: "Brother... Brother, are you here hahahaha?"
Xu Jun looked at the handsome young man who came on horseback: "Hey, second master of the Toloman family, hello, your brother just said a lot of strange things, so I don't think I heard it?"
Dressed up as a knight, but actually a senior magister, Ska's own eldest brother smiled slightly, it was really a bit gloomy, he touched Ska's head with his hand: "And said a lot of strange things? Ska, you What did you say to Mr. Xu Jun?"
Ska looked at Xu Jun aggrieved, and tears were about to fall.
The person who came was Ska's eldest brother, Lard Toloman, who ranked second among the young people of the Toloman family's generation, ranked second, and second in strength. The first is Ska's cousin, Casbender Toloman, who is less than thirty years old this year and is already a great magus. This strength can also be used alone in the Holy City.
Cassbender is a righteous person, with a seriousness like a dean. When Xu Jun first saw him, he thought he was back in high school again, and he was dragged to school when he arrived at school if he didn't do his homework well every day. that unforgettable time. After I got acquainted with him, I realized that this person was born like this. He was strict with others but even more harsh on himself. He also had two younger brothers who were well connected. One named Lard was also young and promising. It is the senior magister, and there is another named Ska who is studying at the knight school in the south. The child is always a little whimsical, but he doesn't say anything specific.
Both Cassbender and Lard later got to know Xu Jun, and the three of them also drank together. Cassbender seemed to be strict, but he was more relaxed with his friends.
Lard Toloman is a lot more casual than Cassbender. As Scar said, this guy is born with a bad heart and likes to watch other people's fun when he has nothing to do. When I was chatting with Xu Jun, I would occasionally talk about their silly little brother and how he bullied him when he was a child.
However, the two have not met many times, especially when talking about his younger brother, so Xu Jun knew only one thing about this "little brother" before: the unfortunate child with two powerful brothers on his head.
Unexpectedly, the unlucky child is Ska.
The Toloman family is not the only lineage of Cassbender's father and Ska's father, and Ska has never said anything about his father's brother... I just heard him say that Cassbender is a cousin, Xu Jun also didn't treat him and Lard's hapless little brother as one person.
After all, in Lard's mouth, his little brother is a fool, the kind who was sold and paid back to the people.
Lard shook his glass and said, "I've always thought, if I can make my little brother cheat a few more times, maybe he can grow his brains and be less cheated by others when he goes out."
… seems to be fine.
Lard also learned about the existence of Xu Jun in the letter sent by Mike. He also knew that Xu Jun was in the city of Mondama. Basically, nothing major would happen, so he was not very worried about his family along the way. The younger brother is safe, but in the past few days, I met the seventh elder of the Light God Sect who came out of the holy city, and I vaguely inquired about something, only to find that Xu Jun might be the unlucky one.
After rubbing Ska's head a few times, all the beautiful ponytails were made into a chicken coop. Lard stretched out his horse whip and pushed the younger brother aside. He got off the horse and stood side by side with Xu Jun. And Xing: "Be careful, people from the Light God Sect have come to you, and it's still the seventh elder. This guy has always been very opposed to the Pope and the Holy Son... If there is anything that needs my help, feel free to mention it."
It's true that the Toloman family is afraid of the Light God Cult, but they don't have to be afraid of an elder in the church.
