"Burp ~ ~"
Strolling on the streets of Icestone City, Colin rubbed his stomach and burped.
He had just come out of the church and drank his fill.
However, the advancement he was looking forward to didn't come.
Even his body didn't heat up.
Colin thought that it probably wouldn't take effect that quickly. He needed some time to react, so he waited patiently.
They waited from early morning until the sun set in the west.
Still no reaction!
At noon, he felt a slight heat in his body.
However, it wasn't obvious.
Could it be that the dosage was too low?
Colin was a bit confused.
However, he was also a bit helpless.
Last time, Archbishop Raven had extravagantly used an entire bottle of pure holy water to save him because of Vera and Marquis García.
Now, if he wanted to get some holy water to drink, he could only buy it with money.
However, when he thought of the expensive price, Colin felt a pang of pain.
He was afraid that even if the Angele family went bankrupt, it would only be enough to buy that pool of holy water in the church of Icestone City.
However, with that diluted holy water, it probably wouldn't be enough for him to advance to the third rank.
Depressed, Colin went to the small tavern next to the hotel and ordered a cup of deer blood wine to drown his sorrows.
Night once again enveloped Icestone City.
Colin's hearing also became more sensitive at night.
Therefore, the slightly drunk Colin began to sit in the tavern while eavesdropping on all kinds of gossip.
After listening for a while, Colin found that the most discussed topic was the banquet last night where Marquis García forced Marquis Charles to give up his title.
Moreover, most of the people thought that Marquis García's actions were very appropriate.
Marquis Charles had to pay the price for his previous defeat.
However, not many people realized how big of an impact this matter would have on the Northern Frontier.
This wasn't surprising.
After all, they were just a bunch of ignorant commoners. What did they know about politics?
Many people did not really support Marquis García. They just wanted to see Marquis Charles suffer.
Just like how the arrest of a corrupt official would always cause the masses to cheer, the tragic experience of a superior would always give the inferior some psychological balance.
As for whether this superior really deserved it or not, that was secondary.
In addition to the unlucky Marquis Charles, the other person who was the most talked about in the pub was the Duke's adopted daughter, Miss Vera, who was making her first public appearance at the Northern Frontier.
This was especially so when it was late at night and they drank more wine. Everyone gradually forgot about Marquis Charles and Miss Vera's name became the new focus of discussion.
Some people even described Vera's appearance as if they had seen her with their own eyes.
There were also some people who were mysteriously talking about Vera's true identity as a sorcerer and this immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Colin took a closer look at the person who had revealed Vera's identity as a sorcerer, and he found that the person looked a little familiar.
He guessed that the person was someone who had experienced the 'great escape' together with him.
However, he did not care much about it. Among the people who had escaped together with him, Colin only wanted to find the filial son, Sarre, and teach him a good lesson.
However, some of the comments about Vera in the pub later attracted Colin's attention.
This was because many people were speculating about Vera's biological parents.
Colin suddenly discovered that Vera's biological parents seemed to be a mystery.
However, since she was chosen by the Duke Of St. Hilde to be his adopted daughter, Vera's biological parents must also be great nobles.
Who could they be?
Just as Colin was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard some drunkards saying very disrespectful words about Miss Vera. Some of their words were really unpleasant to the ears.
Colin was furious when he heard these words and he was about to beat these idiots to a pulp. However, he found that someone had already beaten him to it.
As a result, the pub instantly became lively.
There were people who were fighting, people who were watching, and people who were cheering …
Some of them pretended to stop the fight, but in fact, they were deliberately instigating the fight. Some of them were just watching the fight but were accidentally injured. Some of them were so excited that they even joined the fight …
The whole scene was chaotic and it was full of hormones that had nowhere to vent.
The owner of the pub was the only one who was trying to stop the fight with a sad face.
However, these drunkards who were provoked by Vera's name could only vent their anxiety through the most primitive physical conflict. How could they be stopped by a few words of persuasion?
Colin ordered another glass of deer blood wine as he sat in the corner and watched with great interest.
Finally, the fierce fight attracted a team of city guards.
In front of the fully armed soldiers, these drunkards suddenly lost their temper and were subdued one by one. They were then squatted on the ground to be interrogated.
According to the punishment for private fights in the city, these people had to pay a fine of thirty copper coins. Otherwise, they would have to stay in prison for ten days.
Some of them paid the fine honestly.
However, there were also some poor people who could not even afford thirty copper coins. There were also some who would rather stay in prison.
The latter two were naturally taken away by the city guards.
The pub suddenly became a lot more spacious.
However, it also became a lot more boring.
Colin finished his glass of wine and was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly saw an acquaintance walking in.
"Knight Bliss!"
Yes, the person who came in was the knight of the House of Saint Hilde who had escaped with Colin.
Knight Bliss followed the voice and found Colin.
There was a rare smile on his cold face as he walked over and sat down next to Colin.
"Your right hand …" Colin noticed that the other party's right arm was empty.
After the battle at the Rapids River, Colin directly fell into a coma. Knight Bliss had received orders from Marquis García and left before Colin woke up.
Therefore, Colin did not know that Bliss had become a one-armed hero.
"It's nothing. I was injured in the battle at the Rapids River. "Knight Bliss said casually.
Seeing that the other party did not want to say more, Colin did not dwell on this topic and asked, "What would you like to drink? It's on me. "
"What are you drinking?"
"Deerblood wine."
Knight Bliss looked at Colin in surprise. It seemed that he did not expect the seemingly gentle baron heir to have such a strong taste.
"Then give me a cup of the same."
Colin smiled and ordered a cup of deerblood wine for Bliss.
"After the battle at the Rapids River, where did you go?"
"Winter City."
Colin's eyes narrowed slightly and quickly asked, "Where did you go?"
But he seemed to realize something and quickly added, "If it's not convenient to say, then forget it."
"It's not inconvenient."
After the battle at the Rapids River, Knight Bliss seemed to have recognized Colin and seemed to have a stance of not hiding anything.
"I was ordered by Marquis García to go to Winter City to ask the duke for a military order."
Colin thought to himself, "As expected."
Then he asked again, "So, what military order did you bring back?"
This time, Knight Bliss hesitated slightly, but he still said,
"The duke ordered Marquis García to command the Black Cavalry to pursue the troll army that was retreating from the Northern Frontier."
