"But it's a pity that the border is in turmoil and I have to deal with some things personally, so I came a little late. But seeing that Master Gooden is recovering so well, I feel relieved."

Facing Gergil's false concern, Gudern just replied lightly.

"Are you worried that I won't be able to repay the debt if I die?"

"Forehead……"

Being asked so bluntly, Gejir felt a little confused on his face and explained quickly.

"This matter was an accident, Master Gudern. I sent Carol here just to understand your condition and see if I can help."

"But I didn't expect that bastard Carol to bring up this matter privately. I have already punished him. I hope it can eliminate your anger."

Gudern naturally didn't believe this explanation, but due to his false friendship, he could only nod his head in agreement.

At this time, Gergil could also see the distrust on Gudern's face, so he took a deep breath and told him about his visit today.

"Master Gudern, it is an accident that you are burdened with this debt. I have discussed it with Baron Bertaya, Lord of Songhai, and this debt will no longer be borne by you, but will be taken over by Baron Bertaya."

"Huh? Really?!"

Gedir's words made Gudern a little surprised. The other party came today to forgive his debt?

"Of course, I have also brought the contract. This is mine and this is Baron Bertaya's."

With that said, Gergil took out two parchment scrolls from his arms and handed them to Gudern. This was a standard contract in triplicate.

Gudern also has one in his hand, and now the other party hands these two to him. As long as he destroys these three contracts, the debt of three hundred gold coins will completely disappear from the world.

Unfolding the parchment and glancing at the contents of the treaty, there was no problem.

After accepting the contract, Gudern nodded and said perfunctorily.

"Then thank you both very much."

"Besides, is there anything else?"

"Uh... gone?"

"Oh, let's go then. I don't care about lunch. If you want to eat, turn left and go to the pub. It should be open already."

"..."

"Okay, Master Gooden, I'll take my leave."

Chapter 23 Invitation to Further Studies

Gergil left the castle with his entourage in front, and Gudern sent people out behind him.

"Remember, you don't need to follow them too closely. If the other person goes to the tavern, don't go in. Just keep an eye on the outside to see who goes in or who comes out. Make a note of it."

"Yes, Master!"

After watching the soldiers in civilian clothes leave, Gooden returned to the kitchen and started working on lunch.

There is only one mole in his territory, Reg, and it is impossible to believe anything Gudern says.

The other party must have also planted a lot of spies among the residents. These are the evidence used to help Gergil verify the authenticity of last night's news.

Gudern has no intention of getting rid of the existence of these people. If he keeps them, he can pass on some false news for himself. Why not?

Back in the kitchen, everything he had ordered to the maids had been completed, and Gudern went straight to making the soup base and side dishes.

On the other side, in the castle guest room.

At this moment, Moss was playing with the manganese steel ingot in the void with his magic hand, and at the same time he couldn't help but marveled.

"It hasn't been strengthened by enchanting. Its hardness and toughness have almost caught up with magic steel. The manufacturing process is still simple. If those old men knew about it, they would probably go crazy."

"What will happen if we steal this manganese steel ingot from him?"

Anna shifted her vision from the magic realm, glanced at Moss, and said lightly.

"I have a hunch that if you really do that, your ending will be tragic in the future."

Upon hearing this answer, Moss quickly dodged and teleported the manganese steel ingot back to its original location.

This girl has a bright mouth, and what she says is not a joke, it can really come true.

He had seen a legendary swordsman fail to hit the monster with his sword for three days in a row because of Anna's casual words.

"Anna, why do you think such a talent would be willing to stay in such a remote place? His mentality, thoughts, and strategies are pretty good. He can live well in any big city, right?"

"Perhaps he is here of his own free will?"

"Um?"

Moss was stunned for a moment, raised his head slightly and looked at the picture in the magic mirror, thinking about this problem.

"By the way, what do you say about this little girl? It's not impossible to become a legend through systematic study. Such a good seedling would be wasted here."

"I will ask during the luncheon. If you agree, that would be great, but if you don't agree, there is nothing we can do. Use force..."

Anna paused, glanced at Irene in the magic mirror, and said with some seriousness: "If we use force, I feel like we might not be able to get out of here."

Moss couldn't help being shocked when he heard this answer. He was a legendary divine light warlock, one of the top professions in the mainland.

Although the close combat stretched her hips a bit, with Anna here, no one could beat her unless the opponent was a violent maniac like a legendary swordsman or a knight.

And as long as he is bought a few seconds, he can complete a lot of attack or defensive magic, and even legendary forbidden spells.

Under such circumstances, Anna said that both of them might not be able to leave here?

Looking at the harmless Gudern, Moss couldn't help but shudder. This was the first time that he had heard such a serious 'foreknowledge' from Anna's mouth.

"So, you should peep less, lest people find out and retaliate against you in the future."

"hehe."

In the kitchen, after finishing making lunch, Gudern sent someone to invite the two guests to dinner.

After all, things like noodles won’t taste good if they’re left mushy for a long time.

After the two of them arrived at the table, they expressed interest in the large bowl of steaming noodles in front of them.

Due to the limitation of ingredients, Gudern could only make a simple soup with meat noodles, using stewed pork ribs as the soup base and some vegetables as side dishes.

The tempting aroma has already made the two of them ready to make a move, but the noodles are so thin, is it a little inconvenient to use a fork and a spoon?

As the host, Gooden naturally did not embarrass the two of them. He took out his chopsticks and explained in detail how to use them while introducing them.

Of course, if you can't learn it, you can also use a silver fork to make do.

But it was obvious that Gooden underestimated the other party's learning ability, and within a short time the other party was able to use chopsticks very flexibly.

"Hiss... Speaking of which, these chopsticks are really convenient. Although the dishes I ate yesterday can be used with a fork and spoon, they are obviously not as convenient as chopsticks!"

While slurping noodles, Moss also praised the convenience of chopsticks.

Compared with Moss, Anna's eating style is much more elegant, one mouthful of noodles, one mouthful of soup and one mouthful of side dishes, so you can enjoy it slowly.

The pork noodles in clear soup tasted so good that Anna forgot what she wanted to say at the luncheon.

Looking at the clear soup in the bowl, Anna was silent for a moment...

If I eat like this...will I get very fat?

Gudern, thinking that the other party was not full, asked.

"Miss Anna, do you need another bowl? There's still some in the kitchen."

"Ah, no, that's enough. I'm full. Thank you very much for your hospitality. These two delicious meals are unforgettable."

Anna waved her hands quickly and Gudern nodded slightly.

"Just eat." Then he looked at Moss, "Mr. Moss, what about you?"

"Then please have another bowl!"

The teacher's eating look made Anna sigh silently in her heart. Then she looked at Gudern and opened her mouth to tell her what she had just forgotten.

"Master Gudern, the two of us are actually from the Kingdom of Hephros, and we are part of a missionary traveling across the continent."

Seeing the other party announcing his home address, Gooden looked surprised at first, but then returned to his normal state.

"I can actually roughly guess the origins of the two of you. I am afraid that only people from the Hephros Kingdom can restore the Holy Light so skillfully."

Knowing the identity of the two of them early, he naturally couldn't be too fake. He could brag about the other person a little, and maybe he could help him if he had the opportunity in the future.

"Haha, let me tell you, Master Gudern has noticed it a long time ago, and you are still hiding it."

Moss, who was still fussing at the side, also intervened, and Anna responded with a polite but not awkward smile.

Then he went straight to the topic and asked.

"Master Gudern, the maid named Irene beside you has amazing talents in some aspects, so I would like to invite her to study in the Kingdom of Hephros. I wonder if I can grant it."

"Irene? Her?"

Gudern did not expect that Anna directly proposed to take away his treasured legendary maid.

Faced with Gudern's surprise, Anna quickly continued to speak.

"After going to the Kingdom of Hephros, I will personally introduce him and test his talent direction. Top academies such as the Holy Knights and the Institute of Holy Art will have the opportunity to enter."

Anna's accuracy in judging people is very good. For people like Gudern, she will not hide things and tell them the facts directly.

If Gudern was just a money-grubbing person, she would not talk so much and just throw a few platinum coins to the other party to buy Irene.

If the other party wants to take advantage of them, the staff weighing hundreds of kilograms in her hand is no joke.

Facing the conditions offered by the other party, Gudern pondered for a while and then said slowly.

"Actually, I also discovered Eileen's talent, but as a maid, she is not my slave. I have no right to interfere with her freedom."

These words made Moss, who was still talking, look at Gudern in surprise, and Anna was a little surprised by his answer.

Then Gooden continued to speak slowly.

"If you want her to go to Hephros, you have to ask her opinion first. If she agrees, then I will let her go. But if she doesn't agree, you still want to take her away..."

Gudern said, opening the panels of the two of them, silently aiming at the junk entries, and being ready for the ultimate one-for-one exchange at any time.

At this moment, Moss suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and even if he didn't die, half of his life would be wasted.
