Two days later, residential area.

"..." There were beads of sweat on the palm of Art's right hand holding the cane. Although he still kept a smile on his face, he was a little speechless in his heart.

This woman was just as strange as when I saw her two days ago.

Although Art was not afraid of this kind of confrontational stare, it was too boring.

At this moment, a smiling voice sounded: "Dilit, you don't have to stare at Art."

"Okay, Miss." Dilit turned around and answered respectfully to the people in the carriage, then turned her head and stared at Art with her eyes that had not changed at all, "I am Dilit.

Miss Alti’s swordsmanship lessons.”

I know this...but don't act like you haven't seen me two days ago, okay?

Art looked at the person in front of him speechlessly, then he sighed and echoed:

"My name is Art, Art Angus Claude..."

"Pfft-hahahaha-"

Alti in the carriage could no longer hold back his smile and started laughing, holding his stomach. The crisp and sweet laughter came from the carriage, making Art feel even more helpless.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Art coughed: "Ms. Dilit..."

"Please call me Dilit, or Dilit, the captain of the guard, or the captain of the guard." The paralyzed Dilit opened her lips slightly and spit out a syllable without any fluctuation.

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The laughter in the carriage became more intense, with a feeling of being out of breath.

Trying his best to ignore the laughter, Art nodded to Dilit and said: "Captain Dilit, are you sure we are leaving now? Don't you need to go see Master Fast and His Highness Rosa?"

"No need." The one who answered was the girl in the carriage. She poked her head out of the carriage window, with platinum-blond hair and blood-ruby eyes, still carrying the strange sense of charm that she remembered.

, the skin is getting sicker and sicker, and it looks paler than the last time we met.

Coupled with the familiar Gothic clothes and pale face, Art was reminded of a race that he often saw in games and movies in his previous life - vampires, or vampires?

Seeing this, Art's original guess about Earl Mercury's identity became less certain again.

Although Alti saw that Art was absent-minded, she could also see that the other person was not fascinated by her, but thought of something. Then, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"I see your highness Rosa often, not to mention my father. Rather than seeing them, I want to leave immediately~ By the way Art, I have been promoted to a senior apprentice, and you will call me Ai soon.

Lord Erti~"

"Okay, the future Earl of Alti." Art echoed speechlessly, and then looked at Dilit next to him, "Captain Dilit..."

Before Art could ask, the other party interrupted expressionlessly: "I listen to the eldest lady."

"..."

Seeing the conversation between Dilit and Art, the smile on Alti's face became even stronger. With a slight shake of her right hand, the black and silver folding fan unfolded, covering the lower half of her face.

, eyes narrowed slightly:

"Art, it seems that you and Sister Dilit get along very well?"

Art was speechless. The woman's slightly trembling shoulders undoubtedly showed that she was laughing. He looked at Dilit.

But Dilit remained expressionless and silent, as if she didn't want to answer.

Art immediately understood how to deal with this situation. He shut his mouth and followed Dilit's example, saying nothing.

The two people's cold reactions immediately made Alti stop teasing her. She pouted slightly and got back into the carriage. A voice came from inside: "You guys are so boring~ Let's go, let's go~"

Dilit didn't say much and sat down in the driving position skillfully.

With the rumble of wooden wheels touching stone slabs, the carriage slowly drove towards the unbuilt city gate in the north.

As for Alti, who was sitting in the carriage and leaving Rose City, the bright smile on his face slowly disappeared.

She leaned back in the carriage, looked at the magic props inlaid on the roof of the carriage, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister Dilit, tell me, why did my father give up?"

"I don't know." Dilit said expressionlessly while driving the carriage, "This is His Highness's decision. No matter what His Highness decides, I support it."

"That's right." Hearing Dilit's words, Alti laughed self-deprecatingly, "I should be like you, but...but..."

She looked at her palms, and the skin, which was getting closer to silver-gray, seemed to have lost all color: "Why did Father give up again? Is it Lord Aisha's decision?"

"No." Dilit's voice remained calm, "This is His Highness's own decision."

"Really?" Alti closed his eyes sadly, "Why?"

"I don't know." Dilit's face was expressionless.

...

Art just stood there, watching their carriage go away.

Dilit had arrived at Rose City on the day he left Rose City. After Art's message at that time reached Earl Baixi, Earl Baixi also informed Dilit.

And Alti just arrived today.

He also didn't know why Dilit, who was a guard, arrived at Rose City first, while Alti, who was being protected, arrived later.

Something was strange, but he didn't know why.

He didn't intend to care about these things either.

He used his own wisdom to guess part of the plans of Duke Mercury and Duke Rose, and carried them out. Therefore, Duke Mercury gave him a real apprentice status. At present, Art is considered a member of Duke Mercury's power, but

...

However, he does not feel that he has separated from his identity as a chess piece now.

As long as you are not strong enough, there is always the possibility of being treated as a pawn.

Other than that, he only needs to remember that the two dukes have no ill intentions towards him at the moment, and he doesn't need to worry about the extra things.

There is only one thing he has to do, which is to improve his strength as quickly as possible while protecting himself, and get out of the chess game as soon as possible.

Now, he had to go to Dullard County City. He mentioned to the two of them that Duke Mercury asked him and the two of them to go to Dullard County City, but the two of them had no intention of taking him there because:

"Count Durade has already been to Rose City. There is no need for us to go there again. Of course, if you want to go, just go there."

For such a conversation, Art had nothing to say.

He only needs to ask Duke Mercury for his opinion. If the other party has no request, he will rush to Dullard County City.

After all, it was not very good for him to act under the noses of the two dukes.

Although by adding points, his meditation method has increased the speed of his mental power, it is still a bit slow. The level of lv4 is about 0.0% mental power increase every 5 days. He does not know that this level is higher than that of a normal wizard.

The average estimate may not be low, but it shouldn't be high either. There is no data comparison, so he doesn't know his mental level.

As for the inscriptions, including the inscriptions that were successfully engraved last night, there are only four. Although there is a system, he can increase his strength by adding skill points, but he does not know whether the skill points will be easy to obtain in the future. He must learn to be a normal wizard.

mode, opening up an additional path to skill learning.

Take advantage of every possibility available.

Thinking of this, he pressed the brim of his hat expressionlessly, turned around and left with his cane.

Before looking for Duke Mercury, he needed to find three people. The first was Viscount Baixi. No, it should be said Earl Baixi. He had to find him as soon as possible, otherwise the old man would go to his new territory.

It will be very troublesome to find it then.

...

When Art rushed to Earl Baixi's temporary residence, he was informed that Earl Baixi had already set off for his new territory.

Art was a little surprised, but this was also expected. He came here originally to see if he could trade something from Earl Baixi - on credit.

He is really very poor, and now his whole body does not add up to more than one gold coin.

As for the hunter village, apart from killing a group of parasitic demons with a stick and gaining a lot of experience, there was nothing gained this time. And valuable things? Even less, if he stored them in the inventory as feed.

If the demon corpse of the crow servant's food could be sold, it would probably be able to get some money. However, except for wizards and other spellcasters, basically no one would want this kind of thing.

During the transaction, people from the Holy Light Holy See will be offended, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Oh, by the way, Art suddenly thought of an idea.

.......

Forty minutes later, Art walked out of the door of the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce. He stood at the door and tugged on his tie. He turned around and waved to the people behind him: "Thank you for your hospitality."

Evie Hutchinson, who was standing behind him, had a bright smile on his face, waving to the departing Art, watching him leave, he couldn't help but said to the people around him: "Claudius

Jazz is such a good man!”

The girl on the side looked at him with some doubts: "President, is this Sir Clauredo your friend?"

"Of course!" Yiwei nodded vigorously, "We are..."

As he spoke, he was suddenly startled.

"President? President?" The girl next to her shouted twice in confusion, but she saw that the president's face gradually became gloomy. When she wanted to call out again, she saw that the president

He turned around and walked back with a livid face.

"President?"

"Have you finished your work? You're so free!" Yiwei cursed.

The girl looked at Yiwei leaving with some grievance, and couldn't help but secretly thought: "Ask me what's wrong!"

Of course, she didn't dare to refute, she lowered her head and returned to her seat obediently.

And Art, who was gradually moving away from the door of the Chamber of Commerce, looked at the extra blue blood gem in the inventory and the increase to 15 gold coins, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"thanks for treatment."

At this moment, a voice sounded:
Chapter completed!
