I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

John pulled down the hood that covered his face, revealing his golden hair draped over his shoulders. His face was resolute and youthful, with his eyebrows raised high, making him look both arrogant and cold.

But this resolute face is now full of relief.

He was glad that his friend had escaped.

"How did you get out?"

John had noticed Beth behind Youlun, but he did not immediately ask about Beth's identity. Instead, he wanted to hear about his friend's experience first.

"It was this knight who saved me. Thanks to Mr. Knight, I was able to come to you with my wife and daughter."

John nodded after hearing this, he let go of his friend and slowly walked up to Beth.

His body was tense, and it was obvious that he didn't trust Beth right away.

He narrowed his lion-like eyes and stretched out his right hand towards Beth. A faint blue light emanated from his right hand.

The blue color is as clear as the sky, refreshing and reassuring.

This is a test. If they are orthodox knights, the magic power in their bodies mixed with their beliefs will emit light of various colors.

The fallen knights in the territory now have black fighting spirit, which emits fighting spirit as sticky as mud.

Beth breathed a sigh of relief. If he wasn't a fallen knight, then he was not in the same group as the people in the territory.

Beth also stretched out her right hand, and her right hand emitted a faint golden light.

She didn't dare to use her own magic power, but with the help of the saints, she could imitate the power given by God.

But this magic power has no killing power, after all, it is just a fake.

When John saw the golden color, he breathed a sigh of relief and his tense body relaxed.

"Thank you for saving my friend. If you need anything, just let me know. Youlun's benefactor is my benefactor."

"I need a quiet room."

Beth's voice was hoarse, still hiding her identity.

But John didn't care. As long as he was an orthodox knight, he would never succumb to the oppression of the dragon.

He was sure that his goal was the same as the knight in front of him, they all wanted to leave here.

The two men shook hands and John said:

"I'll go prepare the room and make some food. We need to get out of here as soon as possible."

"John, prepare some bandages and medicine for Mr. Knight. Mr. Knight suffered a lot of injuries in order to save me."

Youlun added to John.

Beth looked at Youlun. Although Youlun couldn't see Beth's expression, he already understood what Beth meant.

"Mr. Knight, please trust my friend. He is a noble knight."

Youlun also looked at Beth, his eyes full of determination.

Beth sighed. "You've already said it. What does it matter whether I believe it or not?"

She turned to John and said:

"Excuse me Knight John."

John's face was full of seriousness. He solemnly assured Beth:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Knight. This is definitely the safest place in the city. Even if I lose my life, I will not cause any harm to you."

Beth nodded, not taking the man's words to heart.

"I need a room with a bathroom."

"Okay, that's easy."

John nodded, turned and left the three of them, with his swift and decisive style and the speed of a soldier.

Beth looked at John's back. This knight should also be from the military.

"Uncle John's house is so big. I haven't been here for a long time."

After being comforted by Saint Beth's power, Alice has now regained her previous liveliness and cheerfulness.

She skipped towards the living room, grabbed the snacks on the table and stuffed them into her mouth.

Youlun and his wife did not stop them. It was obvious that they came here often, and Alice even regarded this place as her second home.

The three of them followed Alice to the living room. Beth looked around the place. It was a large villa and the overall look was very tidy.

But there was no servant here.

"Mr. Knight, please sit here first. John is always quick in his work and will have the room ready soon."

Youlun led Beth to a single sofa. Beth stroked the leather of the sofa. The leather was soft and dense, and it must have been very expensive.

Beth was a little puzzled. With such a luxurious life, why didn't they hire a servant?

Youlun seemed to see Beth's doubts, or he was just bragging about his friend. He was very proud to have a friend like John:

“John was also forced to surrender. As a knight bestowed by God, his surrender was naturally treated very well.

But John did not want this, he had always been ashamed of his surrender and he did not accept the money from the nobles.

John has always said that the things here do not belong to him, and he wants to keep it in its original state before leaving, and he will never accept favors from those who surrender. "

When he said this, Youlun showed a proud look on his face, as if he was the one who did this.

Beth did not comment on John's behavior. Her eyes were attracted by the drawing on the table, which was a city defense map.

It clearly marks the soldiers' patrol time, the distribution of soldiers on the city wall, and the soldiers' rotation time.

There are even some soldiers' names on it, and behind these soldiers' names are their hobbies and the time they left their posts without permission.

Several of them were highlighted as soldiers who had hobbies such as gambling and visiting the Red Hall, and they left their posts at very regular intervals without permission.

The time and location of the city wall's repair are also marked on this drawing.

There is a place that is highlighted, and it clearly says:

On xx/xx/xxx, the red-eyed gopher dug a hole into the city. Although the place had been filled up, the soil was soft and it was very easy to dig again.

John's progress is also written below.

We have dug to the bottom of the city wall. If we continue for another night, we can dig through the entire wall.

Above this sentence, there were several checked-off notes. Now, he had already noted the progress many times.

Beth picked up the map and looked at the information on it carefully, and she was entranced.

until……

"Mr. Knight...Mr. Knight..."

Beth was awakened, and when she looked up, she saw John holding a box and looking at her map.

Beth's face turned red and she put the map on the table awkwardly. As a guest, it seemed a little impolite.

John was not dissatisfied with Beth's behavior. He just explained lightly:

"I have been digging for a long time, but unfortunately, this plan is no longer feasible."

"why?"

Beth asked, somewhat confused.

The plan on the map was perfect, and John calculated the time for the soldiers to leave their posts.

Taking advantage of the soldiers' absence from their posts, he dug a tunnel. Now he has reached the final step. Once he digs it through, leaving will be easy.

John sighed and said:

“A giant dragon has set up a barrier around the city. Anyone who leaves will be discovered immediately. If it’s just me, I can leave of course.

But now, for Youlun, and for the weak people behind Youlun, Mr. Knight is also seriously injured, so I must think of a new way. "
