John smiled and said, "The Knights' Code contains two things to protect the home and protect the weak. I don't think I have violated them. Sir Wien will definitely understand it. In comparison, the words of your gangsters do not seem to be trustworthy."

"You have no evidence!" Jackson said in a seemingly ferocious manner.

Many people know that making all witnesses unwilling or dare not testify is the gang's specialty, and the church generally does not intervene in such matters. Besides, the big man behind Aaron's gang does not have no influence in the church.

Lucien laughed, recalling the lines of various bully nobles and knights I had heard and seen before, and said in a high-ranking attitude: "Evidence? He is a knight attendant, you are the gang leader, this is the evidence!"

From the Copper Crown Tavern, Lucien knew that in the Principality of Vaurit, the knights were real nobles. Although their official attendants were not high, they were definitely not low. Therefore, I believe that a gang leader like Jackson was not qualified to frame a knight attendant. After all, there was no other benefit in himself and John that made the Aaron gangsters heart-wrenching.

On the contrary, John has always been influenced by chivalrous spirit and rules, and Aunt Alissa also thinks so, so he is inevitably a little fooled by Jackson.

Jackson was blocked by Lucien's words and fell silent. He framed a knight attendant. For Aaron's gang, it was indeed possible to do it, but there were many resources that needed to be used. How could Boss Aaron take action for a small leader like himself? Especially recently, Alto's atmosphere seemed a bit weird. In the calm, there seemed to be many undercurrents surging. Even Boss Aaron was secretly walking all day long and didn't know what he was planning, so he was really just scaring John just now.

Besides, this matter is not a bloody hatred, so there is no need to bet on your future and life for it.

After becoming the leader, Jackson naturally lost his ruthlessness towards himself.

So Jackson said with difficulty: "How much compensation do you need? I only have two silver ners."

Seeing that he had successfully scared Jackson, Lucien turned to John and made him decide. At the same time, he looked at the end of the street in the distance and whispered: "It seems that the sheriff has brought people here. Let's leave quickly so that things will not get worse."

As for the people like Aaron Gangster, they will not be too few when dealing with the sheriff, and it is not difficult to think of a reason to get out.

Although Lucien was a little worried about the secret revenge of the gang in the future, and occasionally thought about completely suppressing or cutting off the possibility of future troubles, at this time, neither himself nor John's strength could be accomplished, and killing people in the street would really cause John to be expelled.

John followed the Knights' Code and did not think about blackmailing Jackson. He nodded: "Okay, I'll compensate two silvernars."

Lucien was only robbed of more than forty copper Fiels and some untreated garbage. The rest of the money was carefully hidden in a corner of the witch's ruins. Because he was afraid of the witch and was afraid of being cursed, the villains did not dare to approach, so he did not find it. In addition to the broken furniture, at most one silver nal was more than one silver nal, and he would compensate two silver nals, which was doubled.

Jackson took out his purse with great effort and threw it to John. There were only two silver nar inside: "Bronze Fair just rewarded them."

John poured out two beautiful silver coins, handed them to Lucien, and threw the purse at Jackson: "Do you want to search the villains and get the copper fairy you robbed back?"

After taking Yinnar, Lucien raised his chin to the sheriff and his subordinates as he was getting closer and closer: "It's too late, let's go quickly."

Although being caught by the sheriff in person may not be punished, being careful is the best. Lucien dared not gamble on John's future, so he gave up those cute Copper Fairs without much heartache.

"Okay!" John picked up the wooden stick and left no physical evidence.

Then Lucien and John ran wildly, ran towards another street, then rushed into the alley, and soon disappeared into the market area.

…………

"Huh, stop running, it's almost done, take a break." Seeing that he had already run back to a remote corner of the slums, Lucien finally felt relieved, held the wall, and gasped for breath. Then he realized that his legs were very weak. After calculation, he had really run a lot of roads this morning, so he simply sat on the ground and said with a smile, "Haha, I don't have the strength, Huh."

John was also gasping for breath. Seeing that the two wounds on Lucien's body were not deep and the bleeding had stopped, he sat down and leaned against Lucien: "I don't have much strength either. I'm surrounded by them for just a few dozen seconds, which is even more tired than running for half a day. However, it's so comfortable that I haven't had such a good fight for a long time!"

The two of them just leaned on the ground, panting and restoring their strength.

"Yes, it's so comfortable." Lucien narrowed his eyes and looked up at the clear blue sky. The scene just now was really refreshing for himself, as if he had vented all the depression, pain, confusion, and wanderings that had been around for this period. His mind was clearer than ever before, and he really recognized John, his good friend, so he couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha."

The laughter is free and refreshing.

John was surprised: "Lucion, what are you laughing at?"

"After I was thinking, after I learned to write and made money, I would travel around the mainland to see different scenery, different food, different countries and various wonderful legends."

Lucien did not answer, but looked at the sky and spoke slowly, but in his heart, he continued silently:

"I want to learn magic, I want to travel all over the continent, explore the knowledge and laws of this world, and understand the truth of this world, in order to find the way home."

"Whether it succeeds or not, this is the direction I work hard for my parents and my former friends like John."

"There are more than three silver ners. Even if you borrow usury, you must collect them as soon as possible so that you can start learning magic in the shortest time. The Aaron Gangster dare not take revenge openly, but they are good at taking action secretly."

If Lucien decided to learn magic under the beating of Aaron gang before, because of external pressure, the influence of negative emotions, and his yearning for strength, status, a good life, wonderful enjoyment, etc., then now, it is a thorough and heart-wrenching decision.

John smiled and said, "Traveling around the mainland? Haha, Lucien, although the continental countries, dark creatures and monsters on the east side of the Principality have almost been exterminated by the church, it is still unsafe in the wild. Those kobolds, goblins, and werewolves can give birth like mice. They have all been killed, but soon a group of them will emerge. With your strength, you may not be able to travel alone."

"Cowboys, goblins, ugliers, uh, can they eat?" Lucien asked subconsciously, his first thought of eliminating this fast-breeding creature was to eat.

John was a little puzzled and could not understand Lucien's idea: "It should...not."

"Then forget it." Lucien said in a slightly disappointed manner.

John did not ask much, and looked up at the sapphire sky and said with longing: "If I could become a formal knight, I would also be a tour of the mainland. I don't know what the place outside of Aalto would look like, and whether it would be as wonderful as those minstrels said."

"By the way, Lucien, you should be careful recently and try not to go outside the city or in secluded places. Those villains are real scumbags."

"Well, John, when you see Sir Wien, you must take the initiative to bring up what happened today and ask for punishment." Lucien reminded John.

John was strange at first, then nodded heavily: "Okay. Oh, it's a pity that I can learn some military-related words after I become a high-level knight attendant, otherwise I can teach you."

The two of them were in a happy mood and talked without a word. They stood up and walked towards Aunt Alissa's house until their strength recovered.

…………

Alissa had already found Joel back in the administrative district and was walking back and forth anxiously. When she finally saw John and Lucien coming back side by side, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Joel smiled and opened his arms: "Welcome our two heroes home, you reminded me of my passionate youth."

John and Joel hugged: "Dad, you must be careful in recent times. I'm worried that those villains will do something bad behind their backs."

"This kind of villain is actually the most timid. You beat them hard for a while, but they dare not do anything." Joel smiled, and then his face became serious. "Actually, you should have asked Sir Wien for this kind of thing first. You are his servant, and your every move is related to his dignity and glory."

John also knew that he was too reckless: "Yes, Dad, when I return to the estate, I will ask the Jazz for punishment." He initially worried that Sir Wayne would disagree.

Aunt Alissa took out the clean old cloth and bandaged Lucien's wound.

After a while, Lucien stood up and said goodbye, preparing to go to Tongguan Tavern an hour before lunch, borrow money from the usury merchant to raise up five silver ners, learn words and learn magic are the most important things at present.

"If I can learn magic smoothly, repaying usury should not be a problem. If I can't, it will be more dangerous, but nothing is going to be just gaining and not taking any risks."

Lucien is ready to bear the consequences of borrowing usury.

"Little Evans, wait." Joel suddenly called Lucien.

Lucien turned around in confusion: "Uncle Joel, what else is there?"

Joel took out a very old, simple purse and handed it to Lucien: "These are eight silvernars, you hold them."

"Uncle Joel, Aunt Alissa, you guys?" Lucien was a little overwhelmed. In his heart, he always felt that Uncle Joel's family should be as poor as him, and Alvin had not grown up yet, so he never considered the possibility of borrowing money from them.

Alisa, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "Little Evans, your Uncle Joel doesn't have much money. These have only been saved in the past two years. Although not much, they should be able to start learning words."

"But this is all your savings..." Lucien felt his eyes a little sour.

Joel laughed and patted Lucien on the shoulder: "Before, because of little John, we had a hard time, and your father often helped us. When you learn to write, you can find a decent and well-paid job. Wouldn't you give it back to us? Or are you worried that you can't learn to write?"

"I'm very confident, Uncle Joel." Lucien nodded heavily.

"Although this money, plus your own, can only allow you to study for two months, we all work together to ensure that you can learn a month's writing in three or four months. So, Lucien, you have to work hard on yourself. How much you can learn depends on yourself." Joel's words regarded Lucien's learning of writing as his own family's business.

Lucien's eyes were blurred: "Thank you, Uncle Joel, Aunt Alissa, John." At the same time, he made up his mind to make Uncle Joel's family live a better life, and after mastering a certain amount of magic, he would leave Alto as soon as possible, so that they could not be involved in such dangerous things.

When I left Aunt Alissa's house, although Lucien's destination was still the Tongguan Tavern, he did not borrow money, but looked for scholars and learned words.
