Noble Emblem

This young man with a sharp mouth and thin cheeks is called Pete, which is a very common name. He was indeed familiar with the city, but he didn't know much about things outside the city.

For example, where this city is located in the Kingdom of Stanlo, and which neighboring countries are around the Kingdom of Stanlo, Peter has no idea.

However, a local guide is still of some use after all. Bei Bao checked into a comfortable and cheap hotel, and then after knowing Beta's needs, Pete actually brought an elderly man.

The old man was wearing shabby, patched clothes, and his back was very straight. Compared with the hunched-over Peter, his eyes were shining, and he looked more like a high-spirited young man.

"Mr. Master, this man is a famous scholar in our city. When he was young, he traveled around and saw the world. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

"Scholar?" Beta sat in the hotel and looked at the other person for a while. He found that although the old man's clothes were shabby, he did have the spirit and elegance of a scholar, so he became curious: "Knowledge is priceless, you The old man can live a decent life even if he has been taught how to write, so why is he in such a state of poverty?”

The old man had a look of sadness on his face, as well as a bit of helplessness.

But Peter nodded and bowed aside and explained: "Mr. Master, the Caliph has offended the city lord before, and the city has made a judgment. He cannot teach anyone in the city to read, nor can he leave the city, otherwise his whole family will die because of him."

I see... Knowledge is indeed priceless, but in many cases it is still no match for the power in the world.

Beta also understood why Pete did what he did.

This old man must have been ostracized intentionally or unintentionally by almost everyone in the city. A scholar who cannot make use of his own knowledge and insights is indeed worse than ordinary people.

At least ordinary people can carry their shoulders, lift their hands, and support themselves by doing some hard work, but scholars... due to self-esteem, of course they cannot do these jobs and can only rely on family support.

The old scholar cannot provide knowledge to the people in the city, but Beta, as an outsider, can, and the most important thing is that Beta is a mage. Even if the city knows about this, he can still gain face from him. Collect the money rewarded by Beta.

Of course, the premise is that Beta is willing to give.

A silver coin bounced into Peter's hand, and Beta said, "You can leave now. I have something to ask this old scholar."

The Caliph was a little excited in his heart. He hadn't heard anyone call him a 'scholar' in many years. However, as he lived in the old city, he buried his excitement in his heart and bowed slightly with pride.

This is the respect he has for his peers.

In the eyes of scholars, spellcasters are essentially scholars, but they have mastered some special powers.

"Please sit down. To make you laugh, I got lost here." Beta took out some fruits from the space bag and put them on the table: "I am a space mage. I lost my way due to a spellcasting accident. I was transported to a country near here that I have never been to or heard of, so I want to know about the country, its customs and customs, so that I can judge where I am. "

The Caliph looked at the fruits on the table and believed Beta's words. After all, the Stanlo Kingdom has been covered in ice and snow all year round, and due to environmental factors, fruits can only appear in June and July, but now it is October.

Besides, he had never seen the fruit on the table before, it was not a local product.

The Caliph thought for a while: "I can't finish talking about the customs and customs in a short while. Could you please tell me which country you are from first? This way I can more accurately judge what content to tell you."

"Huo Laiwen." Beta admired the old scholar's straightforwardness in getting straight to the point, and he did not hide his twist: "I don't know if you have heard of it, old man."

The old scholar closed his old eyes, as if he was recalling his knowledge. After a while, he opened his eyes and said with some admiration: "Your Excellency can teleport a straight line distance of more than 5,000 kilometers. You are really young and promising. This should be a master." Level of strength."

"It's just a magical experiment that failed."

The old scholar shook his head: "Although I don't understand magic, I at least know one thing. Once magic fails, if you don't have enough strength, you will only end up dead. You can teleport thousands of kilometers here, but you are still safe and sound. , which is enough to show your strength.”

Beta became more and more curious: "You seem to know a lot about magic?"

"When I was young, I also wanted to learn wood magic, but I didn't have the talent. I almost died from mental backlash when I learned the most basic tricks." The wrinkles on the old face of the Caliph were pinched together like ditches: " Magic is not accessible to ordinary people, at least not to me.”

For most people, being able to learn magic is in itself a recognition of themselves by the world. Everyone has been young, or has dreamed.

"Since you have heard of Huolaiwen, old man, you can tell me how I should go back." Beta took out a pen and paper from the space: "And what I need to pay attention to on the way."

"The farthest place I have ever been is the Faros Kingdom." The Caliph sighed weakly and said slowly: "So I can only tell you how to get to the Faros Kingdom from here."

When Beta heard this, he smiled: "It just so happens that the farthest place I have ever been to is the Faros Kingdom, which is just right."

When the Caliph heard this, he didn't think it was strange. After all, among the group of spellcasters, many people may not go very far in their lifetime, but there are also a group of people who like to run around all day long. The polarization is quite serious. The young man in front of me should be a more out-of-the-box type. After all, if a person who studies space magic does not have a heart that is 'beating', it will be difficult for him to adapt to the realm of magic.

Hafali stayed in the room and chatted with Beta for nearly three hours. It was not until it was almost dark that he left with a gold coin.

Knowledge is priceless. This is just an adjective, but it can also explain how valuable knowledge is in this dark magical world.

If you chat casually for more than two hours, you can earn one gold coin... Even if the Caliph had been 'rich' before when he was young, he felt that the price was really surprisingly high.

Apart from the surprise, he was also touched by being recognized. He left with almost tears in his eyes and the gold coins tightly held in his fists.

Beta still stayed in the room, looking at the rough terrain route map and key points of the journey written on the paper, and habitually turned the animal brush pen in his hand that had dried ink.

Kyle came out of the space and asked: "Next, we will go back and continue to think of ways to rescue Alice?"
