"It is a terrible thing to be hunted down by unknown, unseen and untraceable enemies. They can attack you at any time without fear of retaliation or punishment. At least, I think so. If my The companion also felt this way, and he did n’t show any signs to me. In fact, he seemed to like this situation quite a lot—I think it was a natural thing, because he publicly declared that his goal in life was to seek A violent death. "

"This kind of life reminds me of my life in the Black Tower. I can't say it's exactly the same, but I also had to worry about attacks from anywhere at any time. Even though I have had such an experience, I am still very worried. The attack on the tavern scared me a bit. I knew there was a merciless dead rival lurking somewhere at night, which did not calm my nervous nerves. But it seems that we also have allies, and they are determined to help us reach their own heights. The purpose of testing. "

"Of course, there is not good news. In fact, there are mixed news. The dwarf craftsman finally completed a job. He transformed the" spirit "hilt. The new hilt is very simple, but it is a good grip. The outermost layer of the handle is made of pieces of sacrificial knives. When I hold this sword, I can feel the slightest connection with the "Feng Soul", nothing more. "

"With this slight connection, I can release some tricks through" Feng Soul. "For other spells, it is better not to say that I can't cast spells by" Feng Soul ". You can imagine that this sharp magic sword is in What happens when I cast a spell. There is no doubt that when I want to cut my finger, it will cut off my finger. When I want to cut the palm, it will cut my palm. When I want to cut the flesh from the arm , It might cut my entire arm. I want to lead the spell and pierce it into the body ... well, I dare not pierce it into the body, it is suicide. "" But it is like I said, this sword is a dangerous weapon in itself. Holding it in your hand can bring enough confidence to a person. "

——From "Bai En Diary", Volume Five

"What are you doing there, Bai En?" A shadow fell on Bai En. He was taken aback, and reached for the hilt. When he got up from the bulging leather armchair, a book fell off his leg and almost fell into the fire. He looked up, and it was the old Heinz, the owner of the Blind Pig Tavern, who was standing next to him, wiping a large glass with a big fat hand. Bai En took a long breath and suddenly realized how tight his wounds were. He sat back in his chair again, forcing his hand to loosen the grip of the weapon he was holding tightly. "You are a little nervous tonight," Heinz said frankly.

"One thing," Bai En nodded in agreement. He glanced around quickly and found that the once mercenary did not want him to start working immediately. He is not required to be a bodyguard yet. It was dark and few customers. Normally, the pub does not really open until long after dark. On the other hand, Bai En noticed for the first time that this blind pig tavern was much quieter than usual. Since last week ’s rat attack, the number of customers here has decreased significantly, even though the incident has not improved the blind pig tavern ’s already terrible reputation.

Bai En reached up and picked up his book, which was a rough manuscript manuscript that recorded some of the spells he had copied from several casters during his previous adventure. Of course, he did not expect to learn these spells, or to extract some things he could use from their spell principles and assumptions. Its role is simply to distract him and make him forget the fact that the Ratman apparently came out to kill him.

"It will be a quiet night tonight, Brian." Heinz said.

"You think so?" Bai En is not sure if the other party intends to comfort himself. "I know." Heinz raised the beer glass to the light, making sure he had cleaned every dust from the glass. He put it on the mantelpiece. Bai En noticed that the lamp shone on the bald head of the old mercenary. Bai En sighed and put the book on the armrest of the chair. He didn't worry that this book would be seen. Most of the content in the book was written in obscure language and professional vocabulary. Some of the original author ’s own special useful wording methods, even Bai En himself needs to even guess and guess to figure out what the original author wants to write.

Old Heinz is a sociable person, he likes chatting by nature. Besides, maybe Heinz is as nervous as he is. The pub owner has every reason to do this. During that attack, his livelihood was almost destroyed by the fierce monsters who worshiped evil. It was not until the last few days that all the losses caused by the ratmen were repaired.

"Since the Ratman attack, the business here has been terrible," Bai En said.

"Business will get better again. The same thing happened after the murder case a few months ago. Those first-class people will leave for a while, and then they will come back. When they like to drink, there will be a sense of danger. This That ’s why they came here. But if I ’m not mistaken, we wo n’t see anyone tonight. ”

"why?"

"Felena's feast. This is a special night in Heidelberg. Most people will be at home, praying and fasting to make sure everything is clean and tidy. She is the patron saint of this city and the patron saint of you nerds. , Today is her special night. "

"There must be someone who wants a drink." Bai En said with a sneer.

The goddess Verena represents the pursuit of truth and justice. There are indeed many scholars, judges, law enforcement officers, artists, nobles and businessmen among the believers. But perhaps because of the pursuit of truth, it is also very popular with wizards and wizards. And most people regard her as a **** of justice for women.

"The only ones that will be interested are the Guild of Mechanics and their apprentices. Verena is also their patron saint ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The Countess held a grand banquet for them in her palace tonight. This is for them It is the most pleasant thing. "

"Why does the Countess feel the need to hold a banquet for civilians?" Bai En was curious. The Countess Emmanuelle is not known for being generous. "She usually doesn't like much ... us." Bai En wanted to say to them, but immediately reacted, and she is now a civilian.

Heinz smiled. "Yeah, but these people are very special civilians. They opened a new engineering academy for her. They are making steam tanks, organ guns, and various special weapons for her army, just like Imperial College What the academy does for the emperor. As long as they can make them happy, she can invite them to a good meal every year. "

"I bet she can."

"I think maybe you can take a break tonight and be with Eliza. I know today is her day off. I do notice that you have often met recently."

Bai En raised his head. "Do you disagree?"

"I always say that there is nothing wrong with a man and a waitress. I just observe."

"She went back to her village today. One of her relatives is sick. She should be back tomorrow." "I'm sorry to hear the news. There are many diseases here. People are also complaining about the plague. Well, then I let You go back to reading. "

Bai En opened the book again, but did not turn the page. He was surprised that Heinz was still so optimistic a few days after the attack. Bai En leaned back and sank into the shadow of the armchair. Perhaps the mercenary career of those years made this veteran strong-willed. Bai En hopes he can have them too. At the moment he couldn't help wondering what the ratman was doing. He was convinced that no matter what it was doing, it was definitely not a good thing.
