"Hey, can you bring me a glass of water?"
I raised my hand and said to the waiter who happened to be passing by.The waiter hurriedly held the full wine glasses on the tray with his hand, stopped with some difficulty, and asked with some surprise: "Your Excellency, are you sure you want water, not a glass of delicious golden cider?"
Whoever drinks tonight is Abel's treat. ”"Do you think my grade is suitable for drinking, drinking alcohol will affect memory!"
I found a reason for myself not to drink."
Hehe, I haven't heard of this!"
The waiter said a little too much, but his attitude was very humble and polite, and seeing that I didn't want to say more, he immediately changed the subject and said, "We also have freshly squeezed juice here, or can we bring you a glass of ice water?"
”I stubbornly said, "Thank you, just a glass of water!"
”The waiter humbly said, "Do as you command, and if there is no other need, I will go and prepare it for you at once!"
”Looking at the back of the waiter leaving, I don't know why I'm so paranoid, as long as it's something I believe, even if there is a better choice, it's hard to change my mind, this paranoia really doesn't have any need.Tracy was chatting with Rowling on the side with a glass of golden cider, and after seeing the two of them hugging each other and whispering, sometimes crying bitterly, sometimes smiling, I couldn't help but have a headache, it seems that Tracy drank a little too much today!
I hope that when she is drunk, the wine will be better and she will toss me less twice.Maybe I should have prepared a glass of lemonade ahead of time and let her drink a little before leaving the tavern.There were people who came up to me with wine glasses and tried to strike up a conversation with me, and there were people who were always curious about the unknown.For example, why did I have a grudge against Leon, so that as soon as I entered the tavern, I was verbally humiliated by that guy.Or how did I get involved with Vernon, who hadn't been in the position of Stans for less than two months.More people want to know what my relationship with Tracy is, because the two of us are so different in appearance, no matter the color of our skin, our hair, our face shape, or our personality, there is no similarity at all.Although Tracy repeatedly insisted that I was her brother, no one would believe me.What I can't stand the most is that people ask me about the intimate affairs between Arrant and Tracy.It annoyed me, and when the last bit of patience was worn away, I changed my way of speaking and began to be silent or sarcastic.An apprentice soldier came to me with a wine glass and pretended to be familiar with me, telling me that he was a friend of Tracy and Arendt, and that he usually had a very good relationship, and that he boasted about how good he was, and that if I had any problems in the future that I could not solve, I would go to him, and he would help me with it.I thought to myself: Can you help me find a standard magic lab?
I myself answered in his place in my heart: obviously not.After a few words, he seemed to be very familiar with me, and the topics he talked about were a little off track, which made me very disliking to listen."
Hey, Gigga, will Arendt climb the window of your attic at night?"
He was already a little drunk, probably because he had the courage to ask such an excessive question.I said lightly, "No!"
”He sneered, and said lazily with a ruffian-like smile: "Maybe at that time, you were already asleep, how do you know if he has crawled?"
”There was a flash of displeasure in my eyes, but I forced it down."
Because the attic window is in my room!"
I explained that I didn't really want to explain it to him, and I didn't even want to pay attention to him.But like a poisonous snake, he crawled straight to the head of the snake, and a puff of wine sprayed on my face, and asked me with a lewd expression on his face: "Then I said Jijia, have you ever heard a strange sound like the barking of a cat at night?"
”"Come closer, I'll tell you quietly," I said with a smile to the warrior apprentice, who had been pestering me, trying to dig out a little peachy news from my mouth, and when I finally wanted to say something secret, I leaned over to his ear, and said to him in a calm tone, "Why don't you come home and listen to your mother's screams?"
”His face suddenly turned wonderful, and he stood up in a rage, reached out and grabbed me by the collar, trying to lift me up.He was a head and a half taller than me, and his body was much stronger than me, and he wanted to use his physical strength to suppress me directly.But after saying that, I was already on guard, although I sat straight on the chair, and my center of gravity was somewhat unstable, but I took advantage of his lack of attention to the defense of my lower body, and kicked firmly on my thigh, which also made me feel strong, and kicked him down on the chair at once, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and shattered.Kicking him, it hurt him so much that he bared his teeth, but he didn't dare to scream, his face was a little ugly, and he just glared at me silently.He sat on the chair over there and secretly rubbed the bruises on his thighs, and was silent for a long time, his face was cloudy, and finally he looked at Tracy, who was talking very freely with Rowling, and thought that I still had a father who was a Western recorder instructor, and in the end he didn't dare to do anything to me.This kind of small friction, no one in the tavern will not pay too much attention, everyone only saw him fall, and broke a wine glass, turned his head indifferently and continued to chat with the person next to him, and someone laughed and scolded: You TM be careful, and if you break the glass, you will lose money.It's just that some well-intentioned people saw that I had such a bad temper, and some people who originally wanted to come to me and talk to me also dismissed their thoughts.It felt a little late, maybe the night was too long.Sitting on the bench, I cut a bean in half with a dinner knife, and then threw it into my mouth piece by piece, and I didn't take a sip of the glass of golden cider in front of the table, but I drank most of the glass of water.At this time, Tracy's cheeks were already stained with a layer of red, and she belonged to the people who would have bright eyes when she drank alcohol, and the more she drank, the brighter her eyes became.I began to pray silently, this guy must not drink too much, the door of the tavern was slammed open, and a very young warrior apprentice stumbled in, he rushed to the table and sat down, he first picked up the wine glass on the table, drank the golden cider in the wine glass, and then wiped the wine foam from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.Then he struggled to slam the glass in his hand to the ground.There was a crisp sound of "pop".Numerous shards of glass splattered across the tavern's concrete floor, scratching the legs of some onlookers, causing the crowd to disperse."
A bunch of scum!"
The warrior apprentice scolded resentfully, looking a little excited, and scolded outside the tavern door.The people at his table seemed to know him well, and they wondered what was so annoying about him asking about it, and in such a noisy tavern, the door was so far away from me, that they could not hear their conversation clearly.Sitting far away in the corner of the dining table, I watched quietly at their indignant looks, and it looked like something must have happened.It's just that the young warrior apprentice who stumbled into the tavern did not sit on his chair to rest in embarrassment, but was very inciting to tell the crowd around him something, and a kind of anger spread throughout the tavern.Some people even clenched their fists in an atmosphere and slammed them on the solid wood wine table, knocking the huge round table with a clang.I just hear intermittently some "they are nobles, they want to do it" and so on, about criticizing the aristocracy.We were a little far from the tavern entrance, and I couldn't make out what the young warrior was saying next, as it spread like a plague, and the tension permeated the entire tavern.Many of the warrior apprentices who came to the civilian status of the various academies stood up from the wine table, their usual grades in the academy are very good, almost all of them belong to the most outstanding part of the academy, in the academy they are highly respected, and their proud expressions are engraved on their faces, these people are destined to release their light and heat on the battlefield in the future, but for now they still need to be slowly sharpened.The young men, who had not yet fully matured in their minds, seemed a little excited under the influence of the wine, and they all gathered around the young warrior apprentice who had just broken into the tavern, and began to ask about the ins and outs of the matter.Many seats in the tavern have been vacant, no one is going to enjoy the coquettish appearance of twisting and writhing on the stage, no one is coveting the glass of wine in the waiter's tray anymore, only Tracy is still holding Rowling, constantly crying something, looking at her whispering, I am not too embarrassed to eavesdrop on those secrets, I didn't expect that a girl with such a straightforward temperament as Tracy would have so many grievances in the bottom of her heart.For a moment, I felt a grudge against Arendt, if it wasn't for this guy's escape, Tracy wouldn't have been so sad.Just when I was thinking nonsense, the door of the secret room had already opened, and Abel walked straight to the young warrior apprentice with the bigwig-level figures in the civilian status of the major academies, and sure enough, when a group of bigwigs stood there, their aura was different, and the strong sense of oppression made the young warrior apprentice stand up nervously, and Abel stared at the young warrior apprentice with a frown.The tavern fell silent, and the cacophony was all gone.The young warrior apprentice looked confused and asked Abel directly, "Are you Abel?"
”It's like a self-written and self-directed speech, and the young warrior apprentice excitedly tells the ins and outs of the matter again, perhaps because he has explained these people countless times, and when he tells Abel again, he seems to be very familiar with the whole process, and he can already tell the whole process very fluently, very clearly, he is reasonable, and the whole incident is very complete.According to him, a young girl of civilian nationality in their academy was forcibly snatched by several noble teenagers from other schools just before that, and it seems that she was taken to an idle mansion not far from here, and the name of the mansion is Bloomfield Manor.It's in the northernmost part of the city's eastern district, and this tavern is also in the northern district, so it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there.Probably afraid that the nobles would bring their followers, the young warrior apprentice did not dare to risk his life, so he secretly followed them all the way to their destination, making sure that the nobles would not leave easily, so he ran all the way to the tavern to find help.Abel stood at the front of the crowd and cautiously asked several questions in succession, all of which the young man answered very fluently and explained in detail.So at this time, some of the soldiers in the academy standing behind Abel began to calm their emotions and said loudly: "So, what else do we have to hesitate, rush directly into their manor and rescue our people first." ”There are even people who are frantically shouting: "I really want to know how white the butts of those aristocratic boys really are!"
”I was reluctant to lean over and listen to those stories, especially in times like these, when the relationship between the commoners and the nobility had deteriorated to the point where the slightest one lit the fuse might cause some terrible conflict.No world is absolutely fair, especially since the people in power in this world are still nobles, and I happen to be a magician nobleman, how can I be involved in such a thing.However, at this time, Tracy came to his senses, and when he saw everyone getting together, he held a wine glass and supported Rowling, and the two of them staggered towards the crowd, and I didn't have time to stop it, so I could only chase after the two of them, stick it to Tracy's ear, and keep comforting Tracy and telling her: It's time for us to go home!
At this time, Tracy was willing to listen to my advice, and even pointed his finger at me, and said to me in a loud voice: "Don't worry about me!"
At this moment, I really want to walk away.This tavern party gave me a very uncomfortable feeling, which can only be said that they acted scummy, at least I could feel the smell of conspiracy in it.But at the thought of Fanny's earnest gaze, my heart softened at once, and I said to myself: she is already drunk, so don't be like her, and promise Fanny what she has done, and I must bring her home safely.At this moment, I heard someone in the crowd shouting, "Let's go to Bromfield Manor and find them, we will get the girl back." ”"Yes, go to them, strip them naked and hang them on the big iron gate!"
Someone shouted again.The enthusiastic students in the tavern began to pour out, and many people blocked the door of the tavern, and began to urge the people in front.I clearly saw Abel standing behind, although he pursed his mouth slightly and made a serious appearance, the corners of his mouth always unconsciously wanted to rise up, and his eyes also showed a faint smugness.My heart sank instantly, and I reached out and grabbed Tracy, who was squeezing into the crowd in front of me, trying to stop her.Unexpectedly, Tracy, who had only heard a few short words, turned red at the corners of her eyes at the moment, and she turned her head to glare at me fiercely, and was about to scold me again with the strength of the wine.I hurriedly took her hand, bit the root, pinched my nose and said to her, "Let's go together!"
”To be continued.
