Knight of the Light

"Such a rich tyrant, why don't you die?" The orc shop owner stood at the door of the tavern, with a crooked face in a bad shape, as if to bite. Obviously the business is booming, but he is unhappy.

At noon, a young man came to pack the pub. The owner didn't make a few satires, but instead fought. The half-orc was tall, strong, and far superior to humans in strength and agility, but did not expect that the showdown was blown down by a punch.

If you lose, you lose. The half-orc does not lose this face. But then the young man asked him to stand at the door of the tavern to greet guests and greet scholars who came for dinner.

In less than an hour, there were a lot of people who came to "fight the autumn wind and eat big households", and the number was definitely more than one hundred.

These people first saw the orcish shopkeeper with a fierce face, and became honest. While there are half-orc surveillance, only people like intellectuals can enter, and Pippi rogues who have heard the news to eat white food don't want to mix in.

Although people who can enter the tavern can sit and eat, they basically don't know Zhou Qingfeng. After eating this meal, is there a next meal, you must pass the second test

Seth was also a scholar-seeking member. His father Rubio tried everything to get him to work as a civil servant in Cold Wind City, but was ruthlessly expelled because of his humble origins. He understands the mentality of seeking scholars too.

Anyone who enters the tavern will be received by Seth, who will ask and chat like an interview to find out the details. Many people think that it is him who treats guests, and they are often used in a few words.

Wine and meat meals are served together, and the atmosphere is relaxed and relaxed. How easy it is for the talent and character of the coming person to be judged. All conversations will be passed into the Sophia-controlled information network and incidentally a polygraph and psychological assessment will be performed.

It's not enough to have Seth interview, Adrian will make another cross-trapping. The same questioning and finding out, Adrian's perspective is completely different, as far as possible to make the screening work more detailed.

No one had expected that just such a happy meal would determine the fate of many people. For example, Lorraine, who was hiding food in the corner of the pub, stared at his left and right, and stuffed a few pieces of bread into his clothes.

For Lorraine, the meal came inexplicably. He is only sixteen years old, from a small town in the Northland, and is studying reading and literacy with the priest of the town of Ilmat, a **** of suffering.

Not long ago, a plague broke out in the town, and the whole town fled. The family of Lorraine rushed into Banshee Fort in a hurry. Can escape the plague but escape poverty.

Lorraine's parents tried every means to find a job, and he racked his brains to figure out how to survive. The basement of the hotel couldn't afford it because the family of five had run out of money.

At noon today, someone ran back to the hotel to say that there was a local tyrant for a treat, and anyone could go to dinner. The Lorraine ran out without thinking.

But except for the young and thin Lorraine who was allowed to enter, his parents and siblings were not blocked because they were like scholars. The responsibility of the half-orc shopkeeper was to block those who came to eat for nothing.

Entering the tavern, the panicked Lorraine was attracted to the table full of food, and you really can eat without spending any money. When others rushed to the table unbelievably and uncontrollably, he tried to calm himself.

Stay calm, there is no free food in the world.

Ilmat's priest taught Lorraine a lot, and he benefited a lot from it. When he fled the town, he was told that if he wanted to be favored by the superiors, he must show sufficient calmness and try his best to show his talent.

Carolyn was not very talented. He only knew how to write common words, and he had read only a limited number of books. He never expected to become a senior profession such as a wizard, and being a scribe in town was his biggest dream.

Lorraine slowed his pace. He did not grab the nearest table, but was lucky to walk to the corner. When he had just sat down, the other person was eating and hiding, without hesitation.

Is it really eaten casually, take it casually?

Thinking that his family was being hungry outside the tavern, Lorraine suddenly became loose. He couldn't help but pick up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth to bite. When he found that no one really looked at himself, he quickly stuffed the pastry into his clothes and hid it.

After doing this, Lorraine's heartbeat increased sharply. He was ashamed of his actions, but couldn't help but want to hide another piece of bread, "Dad, mother, brother, sister, let me take another piece and take another piece."

When Lorraine hid the fourth noodle cake, a middle-sized man came over and broke his behavior. "Hey, boy, this is not good. You took all the noodle cake, others What to eat? "

Lorraine was blushing and hot, and I took out the cake hidden in my clothes and said shamefully, "I'm sorry, sir. I just want to bring some food to my family, and they have been hungry for two days. "

Oh, the man who questioned looked at another person who was hiding food, "So what about you? Are there family members who are hungry?"

"Yes, yes, my family is sick, and I have to get them something to eat." The other man who hid food quickly nodded.

The questioning man chuckled indifferently, and Sofia's lie test result came to his mind. ‘The child is telling the truth, the other is lying. ’

"No one is allowed to take food. This is a rule. Violate the rules and get out of the way, you see? If you are full, just leave. People who lie are not welcome here."

Lorraine just wanted to say 'I didn't lie', but the questioning man started asking other questions, asking where he came from, asking about his family situation, asking him what he had learned, and not much to say after asking, and turned away. .

This is too baffling.

Another person who hid food was relieved, but didn't hear the warning just in his ear, but said to Lorraine: "Don't be afraid, they can't take us. We should take it."

Stupid, still take?

Lorraine's mind became active. As he ate, he stared at the person who just talked to him, and found that the person didn't care about the rich eating and drinking on the table, but instead walked around and talked to someone.

This must be a test. The inexplicable meal must have hidden meaning.

Lorraine wasn't sure, and thought hard. He was considering whether he had just responded properly and regretted why he had stolen food, which would definitely give a very bad impression.

Does anyone really care about their reaction to food? Lorraine is more uncertain.

When he ate slowly and had to support himself, another person came over and drank, "Well, if you are full, give way, and there will be people coming in for dinner."

Lorraine stood up and left the table reluctantly. He has never had a stomachache like he did today. This pain is a happiness. And when he turned around, the man who drove the man suddenly said, "Child, don't you take some food with you?"

what?

Lorraine was so strange that he had made up his mind not to take away any food. But now the man allowed him to take food away. Is this a test again? This must be the test.

"I heard that you and your family are hungry. Why not bring them something to eat? That ’s your family. Free food is so rare, bring them something."

The chasing man's attitude was kind, and he pointed indifferently to eating and drinking on the table. Lorraine hesitated again, did the fierce fighting in the mind really allow me to take food away or tentatively tempted me?

This is too difficult to choose. Who knows what it means for the other party to set up such a test?

Thinking of his family's hungry cold wind outside the tavern, Lorraine couldn't resist the suggestion of taking food away. He returned to the table and picked up a piece of pasta, ignored the other side, bite his teeth and brought a few more, and took a piece of bacon.

The chasing man didn't say anything from beginning to end, just smiling. After Lorraine had enough food for a family of five, he asked again, "I just picked up a money bag with gold coins and a silver brooch. Has anyone dropped anything?"

There were several other people who came to eat beside Lorraine. When someone heard the word "gold coin", someone immediately shouted, "I, I lost my wallet."

Lorraine was relieved, and the test was here.
