Dominate the world in three weeks?

If you ask what is the greatest invention in the alchemy system, I am afraid that anyone will say that the space transfer magic circle is the leading existence within 300 years.

Although with the current technology, the teleportation array can only support two-point directional teleportation, and the number of people can only be controlled within ten people, but it obviously facilitates the life of the people who do not have space magic.

Terrence also benefited from the help of the teleportation array today, coercing Edward to take him back to the Earl's Mansion, but the two of them had already arrived at Winslet, and at this time, Mr. Deacon thought that the little master was just going out for a walk. Just relax.

Winslet City is a small town located on the edge of Boswater Forest. It has a unique atmosphere because of its special location.

As the border city of Shanninpail, it is quite different from other big border cities because of the protection of the natural barrier of Postwar. The city is filled with a calm and peaceful atmosphere.Also because of Postwall Forest, there are many mercenary groups and independent adventurers gathered here. There are no unique specialties and rich minerals. Winslet relies on the influx of a large number of adventurers to support the economic development.

Therefore, in Winslet City, the most lively and interesting place is the second-level mercenary branch located in the west of the city.

Terrence was sitting with Edward in the crowded hall of the club.

Edward looked very nervous. After all, he was not yet old enough to go out and travel. It was very inappropriate for him to come to this kind of place.

He grabbed the sleeve of Terrence, who looked excited, and said in a low voice: "Terrence, I think we should go back to the Sanctuary's Mansion? It's too messy here, I'm a little worried..."

"What are you afraid of!" Terrence raised the ale in his hand. This rough drink doesn't have much alcohol, and it doesn't taste good, but the foam on it is very fresh to the young boys who have never seen it before, so Both Edward and Terrence ordered a drink.

"Your status is honorable now, in case something happens, I..."

Terrence frowned: "Could it be that after I inherit the title, I'm no longer the same as I used to be? Jack and the others have recently become more respectful towards me. Is it even the same for you—looking forward and backward because of my identity?"

Of course Edward couldn't allow himself to be "like everyone else", so he had to keep his mouth shut, but still looked around anxiously.

A bard was sitting at a table, strumming a three-stringed lute, and singing in a clear voice the legend of the Postwall Forest.This is a repertoire in the mercenary branch. After all, there are always adventurous novices who want to enter the forest every day. It is the guild's caring service to spread knowledge for these people.

"O Postwar, it is a tower of bones.

The gods were annihilated here and buried under the earth.

Their flesh and blood nourished the lush forest, and their divine power was hidden in the deepest sacrificial tower.

Legend has it that whoever can find the temples of the gods will gain eternal life.

But brave adventurers, you must be careful.

The forest devoured the gods, and it will devour your life too.

If you don't have the determination to defeat monsters and demons, I advise you, don't get close to them..."

Terrence propped his head on one hand, listening to the ballad carelessly. There are dozens of versions of the poems about the Tower of White Bone Forest. Monuments are closely related and fraught with danger.

There, to everyone, is a mysterious and legendary existence.

Edward sat on pins and needles for a long time, and couldn't help but persuaded again: "Terrence, let's go back? It's almost noon, we have to go back to the imperial capital, and someone will worry about you."

Terrence looked around again, and finally agreed with him, Edward let out a deep breath.

But not long after the two walked out of the mercenary branch, Terrence turned around and wanted to go back on the pretext that something important had been left there.

Edward's eyes widened in surprise, but he could only say, "Then I'll go back with you."

"It's okay, Ed." Terrence waved his hand, "I know you're worried about me, but nothing will happen, I'll come out after a while, just wait here for me."

"No, Terrence, no matter what, I'm still worried about you."

"But..." Terrence frowned distressedly, "I wanted you to buy some bags of fruit candies for me while I was getting things."

"Hey?"

Edward followed Terrence's gaze, and found a candy store within ten meters away, and the sign outside the door said "Special fruit from Postwall Forest, handmade, limited sale" .

"Or I'll help you buy it first, and then I'll accompany you back." Edward said, "Don't worry, I'll buy it right away."

He said, and hurried to the store.

Terrence looked at Edward's hurried back, shrugged lightly, turned around, and left the place without looking back.

There were a lot of people crowded at the quest application office in the guild hall, but most of them were at the claim counter. There were very few people in front of the declaration counter, which prevented Terrence from struggling with a bunch of burly men with his thin body of 1.5 meters. embarrassing fate.

Terrence stood on tiptoe and looked at the girl standing behind the cabinet: "Hello."

"Uh, hello." The girl who seemed a little green returned the salute subconsciously, and then asked in response, "Little brother, did you get separated from Dad?"

"No, I'm here to apply for a mission."

"Yes, is that so?" The girl's eyes widened, "But things like finding pets or playing with you cannot be applied for as tasks here."

"..."

Terrence choked for a rare moment, he curled his lips and said, "No, I'm really here to issue a mission. But I would like to ask about the S-rank mercenary group who are still in the city and haven't accepted the mission yet. there's a few?"

Listening to what Terrence said, it seemed that he knew a little about the mercenary business, so the girl straightened her expression, and carefully flipped through the records at hand: "Well...there are two more task columns that are blank, if the requirements can be lowered a bit If so, there are still nine A-level mercenary regiments."

"I see." Terrence nodded, dragged a form from the side, and filled it out without the girl's guidance.

The girl took the form that Terrence had filled out, and was surprised by the content and commission on it, but she still put the paper away carefully, and said with a smile: "I'll make a record right here, you go back and talk to Dad It’s okay to say that it’s already done. The little brother is so amazing, he can help adults with things at such a young age.”

"..."

Terrence knew that his age was not taken seriously, so he didn't bother to explain anything. He took the communication card he received from the girl, turned and walked outside.

As a result, before walking out of the door, Terrence bumped into Edward who was looking for him.

Edward was holding a paper bag in his hand, and his silver-gray hair became somewhat messy. He was panting, and when he saw Terrence, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards him.

"Terrence, didn't I tell you to wait for me for a while? Do you know how anxious I was when I came out of the store and didn't find you?!"

"I'm sorry." The little duke was in a good mood after finishing the work, and he folded his hands together to admit his mistake to Edward with an apologetic expression, "I'm still very worried that I won't find the things if I come late, so I didn't have time to explain it clearly to you."

Edward frowned: "No matter what it is, nothing is more important than your safety."

"I know you're worried about me, Ed, but nothing is more important to me." Terrence took out the gemstone necklace he had prepared earlier, and he lowered his eyelids with a sad expression. "This is a precious relic left to me by my mother and I cannot lose it."

Faced with this kind of answer, Edward had to suppress the anger surging in his heart. He took a deep breath, calmed his expression as much as possible, and comforted him: "I'm sorry, Terrence, I don't know... Fortunately, nothing happened to you. Shall we go back?"

He handed the paper bag in his hand to Terrence, and tried to show a relaxed smile: "Here, this is the candy you want, I took some of the special flavors from their store, you go back and try it But next time, really don't run away without saying hello, I'm worried about you, you know?"

"kindness……"

Terrence took the things and obediently bowed his head to admit his mistake.In fact, his heart was a bit complicated. Edward was really kind to him. If he didn't know that the other party would betray him in the future, Terrence would definitely not be able to be cruel to him.Even now that he knows that Edward's actions are not sincere, sometimes Terrence can't help but feel shaken - but only shaken.

Before the two of them could walk back to the City Lord's Mansion, Terrence's communicator rang.

After he connected, Borg's nervous voice came from inside: "Master, where are you now? I went to the Earl's Mansion to pick you up, but they said you were not there."

"Oh, Borg..." Terrence glanced at the nervous Edward and shook his head to indicate that there was no problem. "I want to visit Winslet City, so I'm here with Edward now."

"Young master, how could you go to such a remote place alone, you have to worry about your identity!"

Borg's anxious words made Edward frowned unhappily. Terrence noticed this carefully. He laughed from the bottom of his heart, and said to Borg who was far away in the imperial capital in an unhappy tone: " How can you say that, Borg! It's my friend's family fief, not some remote place! This is so rude! What remote place... I will stay in this 'remote place' today, you tomorrow Come pick me up again!"

"what--"

The surprised rhetorical question came from both Borg and Edward.

Terrence did not give anyone a chance to speak: "That's it, I think you need to practice your speaking skills, Borg! That kind of language is really unpleasant for Ed! "

He hung up the communicator immediately after he finished speaking, and Edward said worriedly: "Do you really want to stay? After all, this place is no better than the imperial capital. I am very grateful that you speak for me, but if it is just to play a temper, we can go back secretly and scare you." Borg is fine."

"Of course I'm serious." Terrence clenched the communicator tightly, "Look at Borg, he doesn't pay attention to me at all! Although I have become a duke, in his eyes he still ignores me. Treat it like a child, then I will really be a wayward child!"

He looked at Edward: "I'll stay in the city lord's mansion, I won't run around, you won't drive me back, will you? I just don't want you to be wronged because of me."

Edward pursed his lips and was about to speak when Terrence's communicator vibrated again.Borg's voice sounded again, and it seemed much calmer than before.

"Master, I understand your feelings. I was too worried about you just now to speak out. I am very sorry. If you promise me that I will not go out in Winslet's mansion, I can also promise you to pick me up tomorrow." You come back."

"Really, as long as you can figure it out, Borg."

"Of course, my young master. Then please hand over the communicator to Master Edward now. I think I need to apologize to him personally."

Terrence raised his eyebrows, and handed the things in his hand to Edward.

"Master Edward, good day. I apologize for my offense just now, and I hope you can forgive a servant who is anxious for the safety of his master.

"Don't say that, Borg. I know you're for Terrence."

"Thank you for your understanding. In addition, my young master's waywardness has caused you trouble. I hope you can tolerate him more."

"……where."

"Master, he has been very nervous since the passing of the master and wife. It may not be a bad thing to let him relax properly. So I beg you to take care of him more today."

"...Terrence is my friend, and of course I will not put him in danger."

"Then I can rest assured. I will clarify with His Excellency Earl Winslet about the young master's stay. I wish you all a good time."

Borg hung up the communication with a worry on his brow.But he was really unwilling to disobey the young master's order. The appearance of Adam Smith brought him a lot of pressure. The young master obviously got closer to the man who had been with him since he was a child. slide.

——If it’s just for one day, there shouldn’t be any problems... Tsk, I should have known that I shouldn’t have sent Adam Smith to the countryside today.

Edward Winslet, who had the same mentality as Borg, was unable to persuade the little duke to change his mind.

There was no way to turn the situation around, so he could only stretch out his finger and said to Terrence: "We have agreed that we will not run around anymore during our stay here. Think about my worries just now, Terrence."

"No problem at all."

Terrence smiled and hooked his little finger to Edward's.

But the development of things is completely opposite to Borg and Edward's fluke idea——

The next day, when Edward went to wake Terrence up, he found that the guest room was empty, only the communicator that Terrence had brought with him was neatly placed by the bedside.

The white curtains that floated slightly because of the wide-open windows cast a heavy shadow on Edward's face.
