Under a big tree that requires three adults to hug, two figures, one large and one small, leaned against the trunk with their shoulders close to each other.

Ron finally managed to comfort the crying girl and heard the girl's name from her mouth.

——Nancy.

She is not a noble, but admitted that she entered the Royal Academy of Nobles because of her talent, and is a student in the alchemy department.

'Alchemy' belongs to a small branch of the magic department. Using Ron's knowledge to understand it, it is equivalent to a 'matter researcher'.

He asked curiously: "Then can you turn stone into gold?"

Nancy stopped crying. When she heard this, she curled her lips and said, "No. Alchemy is the study of the properties of matter, but it cannot completely change the basic properties of the matter itself. This is a truth that any alchemist knows. .”

Ron was a little regretful that the plan to make gold coins would not work. Glancing at the angry Nancy, he raised his hand and patted her on the head. After some coaxing, the other party also knew that Ron was a noble who came to the academy to do business. He accidentally got lost and was not a bad person.

"Huh! Don't slap me on the head. I'm 18 years old, older than you!" Nancy said very dissatisfied.

She slapped Ron's hand off her head, and when he saw no reaction, she asked doubtfully: "You don't seem surprised?"

Ron: "What's the surprise?"

Nancy hesitated, "It's nothing. Forget it, I won't tell you anymore."

As he stood up and wanted to leave, Ron's voice came, "Where are you going? You haven't told me how to get out yet."

Ron followed.

"Why are you still following me? You ate my bread and you didn't pay me back. I can only go find something to eat."

"How about you take me out and I'll take you to eat. It's up to you to choose." Ron came to Nancy and suggested.

Nancy was a little moved, but she was afraid that Ron was lying to her.

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ron Arnold. I will be conferred the title of baronet soon. I am the lord of Arnold's territory. Are you still worried that I am lying to you?" Ron had a faint smile on his face. I am a good person and will not lie to children.

"If you are still worried, you can ask your friends to go with you." Ron said casually.

Nancy's expression froze for a moment, then she strode forward and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Seeing this, Ron's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and he got another piece of information about the other party.

Nancy took Ron out of the college and found a restaurant nearby. After sitting down, Ron asked Nancy to order food.

Before the meal was served, Ron brought up the conversation, "Speaking of which, that piece of bread tasted really good. Did you make it yourself? Isn't there a restaurant in the college?"

Nancy pouted to show her dissatisfaction, and then said: "I'm not used to the food in the college. It's expensive and tastes bad. It's not as good as the food I prepare myself."

Hearing this, Ron paused and made arrangements?

Thinking of the other party's field, is that piece of bread a product of alchemy?

"Can alchemy even do this kind of thing? It's really amazing."

Ron showed a friendly smile and started talking in a formulaic mode, "Actually, I am quite interested in alchemy, but it is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to experience it."

After a pause, Ron's eyes fell on Nancy opposite.

"By the way, you haven't told me the reason why you were eating bread on the tree?" Ron's change of tone caught Nancy off guard.

"Huh? You ask this?"

Nancy was stunned for a moment, "There is no special reason. Since you are interested in alchemy, let me tell you about it."

Seeing Nancy changing the topic in a panic, Ron smiled inwardly, but remained calm on the surface. Of course he knew the reason why the other party hid and ate alone. It was simple: she had no friends.

He had mentioned the topic of friends before, but Nancy ignored him.

Ron's eyes couldn't help but fall on the bird feather earrings in Nancy's ears, and he squinted. He guessed that it wasn't because she couldn't make friends, or maybe it was intentional.

Without thinking much, Ron listened carefully to Nancy's words.

"Alchemists understand the material structure and characteristics of each material. These materials include ores, plants, insects, parts of monsters, etc., and blend and solidify them according to the characteristics of these materials."

"The new product obtained in the end is the meaning of alchemy."

Nancy looked serious, and when it came to the topic of alchemy, she seemed to be a completely different person, calm and calm, like a knowledgeable scholar.

"For example, the bread you ate before was made by me using wheat and sweet straw in a certain proportion. It tastes sweeter than ordinary bread."

Baking bread with alchemy is yours.

Ron looked at Nancy's proud look and didn't know what to say.

However, the other party's thinking is not rigid, which is good news for Ron.

Previously, the moment Ron touched Nancy, he had already checked the other party's character card, and the results he got surprised and delighted him.

【Silver One Star】

【Nancy】

[Favorability: 47 (fear)]

[Entry 1: King of Rags (Blue)]

[King of Rags (Blue): Existence is value. Anything can come in handy, as long as you have an eye and a deft hand. 】

——

Obviously, Nancy's alchemy talent has a lot to do with this entry.

Although the name of the entry is not very nice, in terms of quality, it is equal to Hadyi. So far, except for him, the blue quality on the character card is the highest.

At that moment, Ron had the idea of ​​​​bringing Nancy back to the territory. This idea became even stronger after learning that Nancy was also an alchemist.

However, this matter cannot be rushed.

You have to take your time and use people to attack your heart first.

The two had a delicious meal in a great atmosphere. Ron sent Nancy back to the college in a friendly manner, and checked each other's favorability before parting.

[Favorability: 52 (acquaintance)]

It has increased by 5 points, which is not bad. It is at least higher than 50, which is a positive favorability rating.

He shouted towards Nancy’s back: “I’ll treat you to a big dinner next time.”

Without giving her a chance to refuse, Ron left.

Walking down the street, Ron had nothing to do.

Sig and the others were ordered to do things, and Ron didn't want to go back to the hotel so early. He looked at the sky and saw that it was just after noon, so it was still early, so he planned to take a walk nearby.

While Ron was strolling around leisurely, Sig on the other side was at a loss to choose a gift for Melitoya.

"What do little girls like? Dolls? Beautiful clothes? Or snacks?"

Sig was in a tangle. He didn't know the meaning of the Lord's arrangement. It was more like punishing him.

When facing the Black Crow, he was the only second-level knight, but he failed to show his strength to protect the lord.

While at the residence of Viscount Gordon, he was defeated by another knight.

All the way to the royal capital, thirteen knights from Viscount Gordon were escorting him, and the six of them were of no use at all.

This made Sig feel lost and doubt himself, was he really strong enough?

Can you really take on the responsibility of guarding the knight and protecting the lord?

What should you do if you encounter an enemy stronger than the Black Crow next time?

Sig thought of the joy that welled up from the bottom of his heart amidst everyone's laughter and slapstick when he was still in Arnold's territory.

That's ridiculous!

The hilt of the sword was pulled tightly by him, making a soft rattling sound.

Snapped!

A heavy blow hit Sig on the shoulder, causing him to tremble all over. He turned to glare at the person who slapped him. After seeing clearly, his expression gradually returned to calm, and he frowned and said: "It's you, Thomas. Shouldn't you be protecting Veroni?" Is it stuck? Why are you here?"

Thomas snorted coldly, pointed not far away, and said: "I'm painting clothes there. Of course I won't be careless about the task that the lord has given me. What about you? You haven't chosen yet?"

"Not yet. Leave me alone."

Facing Sig's impatience, Thomas was not angry. He could see that something was wrong with Sig, so he thought about it and said, "Do you feel that the lord doesn't trust you anymore?"

"What, what are you doing?"

Sig's eyes widened, and then he shook his head repeatedly, "No, Thomas, don't talk nonsense."

Thomas was noncommittal about his answer and said: "You still don't seem to understand the profound meaning of the lord asking you to choose Miss Melitoya's gift."

Hearing this, Sig was stunned.
