Since Salosa had not returned from a long hunting trip, Atram waited for three days in the Duke's palace.

In the past three days, Atlam, who had nothing to do, wandered around the Duke's Mansion twice.

But a very strange phenomenon was discovered.

Judging from the increasing number of soldiers and horses in the training ground in the backyard of the Duke's Palace: the Duke's Palace has been recruiting troops recently.

Why recruit troops?

Curious, Atram eavesdropped on the conversation between two senior generals, and one word he often heard was the word "gold."

The gold of the Orunian Empire.

"Duke Robert also wants to participate in Starwind Kingdom's expedition plan. Does he also want to make a fortune from the Orunian Empire?"

Atram guessed, but vaguely felt that things might not be that simple.

Because if you want to plunder gold from the Orunian Empire, you can just recruit troops and horses with great fanfare. Anyway, many nobles have been doing this recently, but Duke Robert is very low-key and quiet, giving the impression that he is recruiting troops secretly.

Atram also had two dinners with Duke Robert. At the dinner, Atram wanted to ask Duke Robert, but after thinking about it, he gave up the plan... After all, Duke Robert in front of him was a man with evil intentions. Cruel Lord.

The fourth day.

"The young master is back!"

"The young master is back!"

In the voice of the servants.

Salosa, who went hunting in other places, finally returned with a full load of prey and was guarded by a group of followers.

Seeing his mother, Mrs. Shelley, greeting her at the door, Salosa jumped off the horse and said excitedly:

"Mom, I hunted a lot of prey this time and came back with a full load!"

Mrs. Shelley stepped forward and held his hand and said: "My son, you have been away for more than half a month this time, and the wild beasts in the forest are dangerous. Don't go hunting every day, and spend more time with your wife Julie." ."

Hearing these nagging words, Salosa's face fell and she complained: "Mom, can you stop nagging? Didn't Julie give birth to a boy for our family? Why do you keep asking me to accompany her? ?”

"I want you to accompany her to have more children! The family's fortune is so big, how can one boy be enough?"

"Okay, okay, stop talking, I'm so annoyed by you!"

Salosa waved her hand and didn't want to talk to her mother.

"You bastard boy, you are not interested in taking care of the territory, you are not interested in women, you are only interested in hunting all day long, are you going to be with the prey in the future? You are almost thirty years old, and you are still not sensible at all!"

Duke Robert came over and gave his son a scolding.

"You old thing, I told you to leave me alone! I've grown up!"

Salosa responded directly.

"Where did you grow up? You're not as obedient as when you were a teenager. The older you get, the less obedient you become!"

"That's because I couldn't beat you back then, but I can now! My fists are bigger than yours! Why do you care about me?"

Salosa raised his fist and roared.

"You...you...boy, how dare you talk to your father like that, I...I'll beat you to death!" Robert was about to explode with anger. He held his hand directly on the sword at his waist, trying to pull out the sword and teach him a lesson. Get rid of this disobedient boy!

"Odd, unload all the prey on the carriage, let's continue hunting."

However, Salosha refused to get rid of his father and turned to the attendant beside him.

"Master, this..." The follower Oded looked embarrassed. He had just come back and was about to leave. This...

"You kid, I will destroy you!"

Robert became even more angry. Now he really wanted to pull out his sword and teach his shameless son a lesson.

However, the sword was halfway drawn.

A hand held him down.

A voice came to his ears: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's normal for men to like hunting and adventure. Why hurt the harmony between father and son?"

"But this bastard goes out hunting every day and doesn't do anything serious!"

As if he had found an outlet, Duke Robert could not help but complain and talk in front of Atlam, an outsider.

Atram smiled awkwardly and said: "When I was twenty years old, my father often said this to me. In anger, I became an adventurer and have been wandering around for twenty years. If I dare to go home, I'm afraid my father will kill me." He was not making it up, it was true. He had also considered finding a suitable time to go back to his hometown.

"this……"

Duke Robert was stunned and realized that he had found the wrong person to talk to.

"So my advice is: between restricting hunting and having a son, the son is more important," Atlam said.

Mrs. Shelley, who was next to her, panicked, pulled Duke Robert and said: "My dear, if your son likes hunting, let him go, and don't talk about him again!"

Besides, my son is gone!

Half of Duke Robert's anger disappeared immediately. He was just a son, what if he ran away after being scolded?

So he didn't dare to curse anymore, took back his sword, and glared at his son.

Salosa's attention was completely transferred to Atlam.

"Hey, who are you? Why did you show up at my house?" Salosa became very interested in this adventurer who claimed to have been wandering outside for twenty years.

Seeing the hand-shaped badge on the chest of the green robe he was wearing, Salosa was surprised and asked: "Are you also a magic network walker and a member of the guild?"

"Yes, Master Salosha, my name is Atlam. I am a magic network walker from the main continent and an adventurer who has been wandering around for many years."

"This time I came to Domiwaga to carry out a special mission. I also wanted to make more friends and learn more about the situation here."

Atram introduced himself to his family.

Main continent?

Adventurer?

Special mission?

These words immediately had a huge attraction for Salosha.

Salosa became extremely interested in this stranger who was somewhat similar to him.

He walked over, grabbed Atram's sleeve, pulled him into the Duke's Palace and said:

"Friends who have come from afar, I welcome you very much. I am very interested in the main continent and your adventures. Can you tell me the story of your adventures outside?"

"With great pleasure, Master Salosa."

A very good start.

Within a very short period of time after meeting, Atram established a good impression on the target person, Salosha, and became a good friend.

In the next three days, the relationship between the two improved by leaps and bounds, becoming inseparable.

Even to the point of being "good friends" who eat together, sleep together, and play together.

Especially after learning that Atram was 10 years older than her, Salosa often called him "brother", which was very affectionate.

During these three days, Atlam basically told Salosha about the customs and customs of the main continent, his 20 years of adventures outside, and all the interesting things, which made him fascinated. , exclaiming from time to time, his eyes full of longing.

Atram is also often asked questions like:

"Brother, I'm almost thirty years old, and it's pointless to go hunting outside every day. Can I go on adventures in the outside world like you?"

"Well……"

Atram thought for a while and said: "Age is not a problem. As long as your body is energetic enough, you can go out and take risks at the age of forty or fifty. However... your situation is different from mine. You have parents who love you. You have a wife and a son, you can't just walk away, it'll hurt them deeply."

"But this kind of life is not what I want! I can't live like this for the rest of my life!"

"But the outside world is very dangerous. Without enough ability, you may never come back in the face of various dangers."

"I'm not afraid. I'm a level 4 magic net walker. I'm the 'number one in the kingdom'. No one is my opponent. I'm confident to cope with all kinds of challenges!"

"Haha, number one in the kingdom?"

Atlam smiled sarcastically, shook his head and said, "Brother, it's not that I want to hit you. There are many number one in the kingdom like you, and most of them have been taught a terrible lesson."

"Brother, are you looking down on me?"

Salosha's expression became very serious and he said solemnly: "I want to challenge you, I want to defeat you! Let you see my strength!"

"Okay, I also want you to see what it means to have someone outside the world and a sky outside the world."

A duel between the two was decided.
