After midnight, there were only a few mercenaries in the side hall drinking wine and talking nonsense. Zhang Hao and Alicia seemed to be very free. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Hao asked Alicia about the common sense of this world. If it were a normal person, Alicia would definitely be shocked. However, she 'knew' that Zhang Hao came from a remote village and had a lot of very 'important' general knowledge that he did not know. For his future, and for her own future, she had to at least let him understand the general knowledge of 'love'. Thinking of how Zhang Hao had invited her to his house a few days ago, Alicia felt a wave of embarrassment. She did not want such a thing to happen to other girls.
With this thought in mind, Alicia began to explain the strange stories, legends, and myths she knew about the continent, as well as the things to take note of when interacting with various classes. The young girl's explanation was filled with a lot of common sense about how men and women get along, love, marriage, and so on. She told Zhang Hao very secretively, You should marry me. Unfortunately, Zhang Hao spent most of his time practicing martial arts, so he rarely interacted with women. He didn't know much about the relationship between men and women. Therefore, he didn't understand Alicia's 'hidden' words.
After chatting for a night, Zhang Hao was refreshed, but Alicia was also in high spirits. Zhang Hao had the protection of the Taiji Internal Strength. Even if he didn't close his eyes for days and nights, he wouldn't feel sleepy at all. However, Alicia was an ordinary girl. Zhang Hao found it strange that she did not feel sleepy. He could only guess that Alicia used to work until dawn and was used to it.
Soon, Jett and another sommelier came to take over. Zhang Hao said goodbye to them and left the guild. Alicia watched Zhang Hao leave from behind. After Zhang Hao disappeared into the crowd, the girl retracted her gaze. Suddenly, she felt extremely tired. Alicia greeted Jett and asked about Jett's injuries. Alicia said goodbye and left, rubbing her eyes.
Zhang Hao noticed that there was someone leaning against the wall outside his door from afar. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. After taking a closer look, Zhang Hao was stunned. It was a famous person in Crocco City, Blood Wolf Zinte. Hyde.
When Zinte saw Zhang Hao return, he smiled and elegantly bowed to him. After Zhang Hao returned the bow to a commoner, Zinte said,""Good morning, Sir Alex. I am a local noble of Crocco City, the deputy city lord of Crocco City, Zinte. Hyde, I have something to discuss with you. Do you have time?”
Hearing this, Zhang Hao's mind spun. He had a plan then, so he smiled and opened the gate. He bowed to Blood Wolf,"Please come in!" Since Duiyan already knew his name, he must have come with ill intentions.
The two of them entered the courtyard and saw the weeds growing and the fallen leaves. Zinte frowned and smiled."Your Excellency should also hire a gardener to trim the flowers and trees in the courtyard!”
Zhang Hao nodded and replied,"I will consider your suggestion."”Although he said that, he felt that it was a little funny.
Zhang Hao's ancestral home was in a remote and quiet mountain. When Zhang Hao was 10 years old, he went home to worship his ancestors. Along with them was a foreign friend of his grandfather. Originally, outsiders were not allowed to appear in the ancestral temple during the ancestral worship ceremony. However, he was very interested in the ancestral worship ceremony of the Celestial Dynasty and begged his grandfather several times. In desperation, he could only agree. Zhang Hao's ancestral home was built according to the Feng Shui theory of 'Sleeping Dragon'. Zhang Hao's family had a Feng Shui expert. He had explored this place and wanted to build a house on the back of the sleeping dragon. However, the ancestor calculated that the Zhang family did not have such a blessing and could not stand such a strong dragon aura. He could only build a house on the dragon's tail, hoping to be stained with some dragon aura to ensure the safety of the Zhang family's descendants.
Although it was only a dragon tail and there wasn't much dragon energy, it was enough to make all living things sing. The courtyard of Zhang Hao's ancestral house was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, as well as strange vines. The entire courtyard was packed tightly like a small forest. There were only three stone paths filled with fallen leaves that led to the attic. In the eyes of Zhang Hao's family, this was a very quiet and comfortable place, but the foreigner did not think so. He said,"Your house hasn't been taken care of for hundreds of years, right? Look, it's already overgrown.”
Zhang Hao's family laughed when they heard that. Westerners would never understand the true meaning of nature and the celestial beings, nor would they understand the charm of the winding path leading to seclusion. In their eyes, the trees had to be of the same height, the road had to be straight, the courtyard had to be square, the walls had to be square, and then the castle-like houses had to be built with large stones. This was the ideal place to live in their hearts.
It seemed that the people on this continent had similar personalities and concepts to the Westerners on Earth. With this thought in mind, Zhang Hao welcomed Blood Wolf into his home.
"Please sit!" Zhang Hao called out to Blood Wolf.
Sanguine Wolf hesitated for a moment and gently pulled his finger on the table, drawing a dust mark. Looking at the stain on his finger, Sanguine Wolf smiled apologetically at Zhang Hao. His meaning was obvious. I don't want to sit down.
Zhang Hao shrugged awkwardly. Many things had happened recently, and Zhang Hao had not had the time to clean his house. As the only son of a martial arts family, he had been strictly taught by his grandfather since he was young. The words 'courtesy, righteousness, and honesty' were engraved into his brain. But now, he was being disrespectful in front of a distinguished guest. Zhang Hao felt that it was quite a good thing.
It seemed that they could only stand and talk, but Zinte didn't mind. Zhang Hao said seriously,""The house is a little messy. I wonder what important matter Milord has for a commoner like me?”
"I heard that it was you who sent the thousand-year-old barrier branch to Crowe City?”Zinte stared at Zhang Hao with a smile.
"Indeed. I didn't know that it was a thousand-year barrier branch at the time.”Zhang Hao nodded and said. As long as one had the heart, it was easy to find out.
"It turns out that you have hidden your abilities. You can even cut down the thousand-year-old enchantment tree and send it to Croc City in two taka hours. With such strength, why are you still working as a sommelier?”
"Your Excellency loves to joke too much. Can't you feel that I don't have any battle energy or magic on me?”Zhang Hao forced a smile. Poko Lodema had tested him before, and it seemed that the people of this world could not detect true energy.
"Indeed!" Blood Wolf Zan smiled and his eyes were sharp." However, even I can't sense the battle energy or magic power of assassins who are high-level bandits or above. For example, the Fire Spider that has been in the limelight recently.”
"I've heard of him too. It's said that he stole your friend's crystal ball!”Zhang Hao said calmly, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.
"That's another matter. I'm very curious as to why you were able to bring the thousand-year-old enchantment branch to Croc City. This is something that only a grand mage or an elf can do.”Zinte's voice was soft, but his eyes occasionally flashed with alertness.
This was bad. Zhang Hao was distressed. If he could not explain this problem, he would be exposed.
"I can't say!" Zhang Hao thought about it and decided to take a step back.
"Can't say? Is there any special reason?" Zinte frowned. Even if it was an excuse, it was too insincere.
"Everyone has some secrets that they can't tell others. I believe you are the same!”Zhang Hao took advantage of the situation and went up the pole.
Zinte muttered for a while, then walked back and said,""Everyone, tell me the truth. It's not my forte to beat around the bush! Xiao Xiao suspects that you are the 'Assassin' Fire Spider that appeared recently. If you cannot produce any evidence that is beneficial to you, we will arrest you as a criminal suspect before tomorrow.”
"What should I do to clear my name?”Zhang Hao broke out in a cold sweat and almost said," What crime have I committed? He almost confessed! The other party's words just now had a strong psychological hint, and Zhang Hao almost fell for it!
"We have a way to prove whether you are a Fire Spider or not, but it will also cause minor damage to your body. Are you willing?”Blood Wolf's eyes flashed with surprise. Just now, he had added the spell of 'Mind Revelation'. This spell could easily get the other party to say something when they were not paying attention. He had used this spell to make his teacher, the archmage Hatcher, say,"I really want to steal one of Princess Rachfell's underwear!”In this case…Fortunately, there was no one around at that time, so the great mage Hatcher did not lose his reputation! After that, Zinte was given an 'assignment' to practice the Fireball Technique 10000 times a day!
"Of course!" Zhang Hao answered 'happily' but sighed in his heart. It turned out that the other party was prepared. It seemed that this time, they were going to be exposed!
Seeing Zhang Hao's half-hearted smile, Blood Wolf also smiled. He did not expect the 'Mind Revelation' to succeed. But he still had other ways.
When Zhang Hao saw Blood Wolf take out a long black whip from his pocket, it was covered with curved and colorful magic lines. He casually shook it, and the whip twisted and danced like a snake. Then, he threw it heavily on the ground, making a crisp sound.
"What is this?" Zhang Hao wasn't a fool. Seeing the appearance of this thing, he knew that it wasn't something easy to get along with.
"Demon Binding Whip! The higher your magic wave or the stronger your battle energy, the tighter its binding power. If you were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be able to bind you!”Sanguine Wolf held the whip and smiled brightly.
In Zhang Hao's eyes, a man full of danger was holding a whip and walking towards him with a lewd smile!
