"Hiccup~~"
Strolling on the streets of Ice Rock City, Colin felt his stomach and burped.
He just came out of the church and drank a lot of water.
It's just that the anticipation of the advancement is not coming.
Even the kind of body fever does not appear.
Colin thought, it is estimated that the effect will not be so fast, there must be some reaction time, so he patiently waited.
He waited from early morning until sunset.
Still no reaction!
At noon, he felt a slight fever in his body.
But it is extremely unobvious.
Could it be that the dose is too small?
Colin was a little puzzled.
But at the same time, there was some helplessness.
The last time Archbishop Revan was still looking at the face of Vera and Marquis Garcia, he used a whole bottle of pure holy water to extravagantly save him.
Now if he wants to get some holy water to drink, he can only buy it with money.
But the thought of the expensive price made Colin a pain.
I'm afraid that the Angele family will bankrupt their fortune and only have enough money to buy the pool of holy water in the church in Ice Rock City.
But only with the diluted holy water, I am afraid it is not enough for him to advance to the third rank.
Depressed, Colin went to the tavern next to the hotel and ordered a glass of deer blood wine to ease his sorrows.
The night once again enveloped Ice Rock City.
And Colin's hearing became more sensitive at night.
So, after drinking, he began to sit idle in the tavern, and at the same time eavesdropped on all kinds of gossip messages.
After listening for a while, Colin found that the most talked about were the fact that Marquis Garcia forced Marquis Charles to give up his title at the banquet last night.
Moreover, the vast majority of people believe that the approach of Marquis Garcia is very appropriate.
The Marquis of Charles must pay the price for the previous fiasco.
However, how many people are aware of the huge impact this incident will have on the situation in the North Territory?
This is not surprising.
After all, they are just a group of knowledgeable civilians. What kind of politics do they understand?
Many people don't really support Marquis Garcia, they just want to see Marquis Charles unlucky.
Just as the arrest of corrupt officials can always arouse the cheers of the masses, the tragic experience of the superiors can always give the inferior people some psychological balance.
As for whether this superior person really deserves his punishment, that's all secondary.
Besides the hapless Marquis Charles, the other person most discussed in the tavern is Miss Vera, the Duke’s adopted daughter who made her public appearance in the North for the first time.
Especially when the night was darker and the wine was drunk more, Marquis Charles was gradually forgotten by everyone, and Miss Vera's name became a new focus of discussion.
Some people vowed to describe Vera's appearance as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
There were also some people mysteriously talking about Vera's true identity as a mage, which immediately drew a burst of surprise.
Colin took a closer look at the guy who revealed the mage identity of Vera, and found that the other party was a bit familiar.
It is probably the person who experienced the "Great Escape" together.
He also didn't care. Among those who fled with him, Colin now only wanted to find the great filial son Thrall, and then teach the other party a deep lesson.
However, some of the remarks about Vera in the tavern later caught Colin's attention.
Because many people are speculating about Vera's biological parents.
Colin suddenly discovered that Vera's biological parents seemed to be a mystery.
But since she can be selected by the Duke of St. Hilde to become an adopted daughter, Vera's biological parents must also be great nobles.
Who can it be?
Just when Colin was in deep thought, he suddenly heard some drunken men who were very disrespectful to Miss Vera in their words, and some of their remarks were really unbearable.
When Colin was furious, he was about to beat up these idiots at his own expense, only to realize that someone had acted first.
As a result, the tavern instantly became hot.
Fighting, watching, cheering...
Some people tried to persuade but were accidentally injured by the onlookers who watched with enthusiasm and joined the battle group...
The whole scene is chaotic, full of hormones that have nowhere to vent.
Only the owner of the tavern was crying and trying to dissuade the encirclement from behind.
But these drunks who are full of fire by Vera's name can only vent the anxiety in their hearts through this most primitive physical conflict, and how can they be stopped by a few words of persuasion.
Colin ordered another glass of deer blood wine and sat in the corner watching with interest.
Finally, the fierce fight attracted a team of city defense forces.
In front of the heavily armed soldiers, these drunks suddenly lost their temper, were subdued one by one, and squatted on the ground for interrogation.
According to the punishment for private fighting in the city, these people have to pay a fine of thirty copper coins, otherwise they will have to squat in jail for ten days.
Some people paid the fines honestly.
But there are also people who can't even get thirty copper coins, and old fritters who can get them but would rather go to jail.
The latter two were naturally taken away by the city defense forces.
The tavern became a lot more spacious in an instant.
But it's also a lot more boring.
Colin finished his glass of wine and was about to go back to sleep, only to find that an acquaintance came in.
"Knight Bliss!"
Right, the person here was the Knight of the Saint Hilde family who had fled with Colin.
Knight Bliss followed the voice and also spotted Colin.
There was a rare smile on his indifferent face, then he walked over and sat down beside Colin.
"Your right hand..." Colin only now noticed the empty right arm of the opponent.
After the Battle of the River, Colin went into a coma, and the knight Bliss accepted the order of the Marquis of Garcia and left before Colin awakened.
Therefore, Colin did not know that Bliss had become a one-armed hero.
"It's nothing. I just got a little bit injured in the Battle of the River." The knight Bliss said lightly.
Seeing that the other party didn't want to say much, Colin didn't bother on this topic, and asked instead: "What would you like to drink? I invite you."
"What do you drink?"
"Deer blood wine."
The knight Bliss glanced at Colin in amazement, as if he didn't expect the heir to the baron, who seemed to be gentle, to have such a strong taste.
"That's the same for me."
Colin smiled slightly and helped Bliss also order a glass of deer blood wine.
"Where have you been after the Battle of Rushing River?"
"Winter City."
Colin's eyes shrank slightly, and he quickly asked, "What were you going to do?"
But he seemed to realize something again, and quickly added: "If it is not convenient, then forget it."
"Nothing inconvenient."
After the Battle of Rushing River, the knight Bliss seemed to have recognized Colin:
"I have been ordered by the Marquis of Garcia to go to Winter City to ask the Lord Duke for a military order."
Colin secretly said as expected.
Then he asked: "So, what military order did you bring back?"
This time, the knight Bliss hesitated a little, but still said:
"The Duke ordered Marquis Garcia to command the Black Cavalry and pursue the army of trolls that were evacuating from the north."
