Chapter Thirteen The Butler

Dem, known as one of the seven major cities in the Southern Continent, is only a provincial and county-level city, but its importance is no less than that of the Royal City of Rolian, because it is the location of the famous Golden Tree Knights Academy.

Of course, Demo became the second largest city in the country and squeezed into the seven cities in the southern continent, which is a prosperous place, not just because of the golden tree. Another main reason is that it is also the location of the Magic Academy Cobbutto and the Temple of Light Yeshalien.

As early as the Seven Heroes of the Old World, the Auckland Forest had extremely abundant elemental power, and many mages and priests regarded this place as a place of cultivation. Therefore, Dem was already a famous city in the mainland as early as 3,000 years old.

Not only the Four Great Temples, but many sects led by the Church of Light have built their own temples here. Among them, the four temples of Yeshalien of the Church of Light and the Elven Salia, Musha of Time, and the Burtu of the Earth are the most famous.

Another famous academy also brought Derm not only to many interns who hope to become a knight, but also to many apprentices who dream of becoming a mage.

The Magic Academy Cobbutto, the oldest and largest of the three major magic academies, has always been known for gathering a large number of great wizards. With the end of the magic period, the demise of the elemental elves forced the academy to abandon their thousand-year-old site and move to the distant northern continent. Among the four continents, the elemental power there is still sufficient.

Therefore, when the three thousand years of heroic period ended and the power of the elementals recovered again, because he could not bear the continuous southward movement of the demons and the internal war between the human kingdoms, Cobbutto once again migrated and returned to its original birthplace, Auckland.

After three hundred years of rest and after the baptism of war and severe damage, the ancient city of Dem once again radiated its glory and became a prosperous place that attracted the attention of the world.

The new solar calendar is 540th, the 29th day of the dark moon

In the early morning, when Roland, who had been sleepless all night, opened the door, he was surprised to see the red-haired beauty Usina and the knight Yizhak who always regarded serious expressions.

At the door stood an old man with white hair and nearly fifty years old, holding a heavy package in his hand. A white robe and his snow-white hair were like a copy of Santa Claus.

"May I ask...what are you doing?" Roland was not sure that the old man was here to find her, after all, there were only a handful of people she knew in this world.

"Miss Roland, I am Meer Clogge, and from today on, I will be your personal butler."

However, the old man's standard linguistic quickly broke Roland's guess.

"Hey..." Looking at the white robe that was slightly wet due to the heavy rain outside, Roland knew that he must have stood at her door for a long time when he looked at the old man.

But... his words were unacceptable to Roland.

Suddenly, a stranger who had never seen before appeared to call herself a housekeeper. She began to wonder if she had some hallucinations because of her anxiety about the future, just like those strange memories that often emerged in her mind but had no sense of experience or participation at all.

"I know this may be unacceptable for a while, but I was sent by Your Excellency Yizhak to you personally." As soon as he bowed, the old man took out a magically encrypted letter from his arms and handed it over.

I took the light yellow letter paper that seemed to be of great importance and turned over and over, but I couldn't find a way to tear it apart.

The surface of the envelope was extremely hard and could not be deformed no matter how she pulled it.

"You only need to read out your name to open this specially processed letter." The old man who was not squinting had no intention of making fun of him, but instead pointed out the method of opening the magic letter.

"Well... Luo Lan." He pronounced his name in awkward and difficult-to-mouthed common language, and the letter in his hand immediately unfolded like a magic trick.

Embarrassingly, Roland turned his gaze to the letter paper with a faint fluorescent light. Roland did not dare to see if the old man was laughing at him.

Ms. Roland, when you saw this letter, I was already on my way to Neo City. Due to some unpleasant conflicts within the family, I had to leave temporarily.

After discussing with Usina all night, we came to a conclusion. Your identity and sensitivity, especially in the current Southern Continent, in order not to encounter any unexpected problems, I decided to let you go to Dem City to avoid the limelight, which is my jurisdiction. As long as you take the letter of introduction I entrusted to Meer, you can seek shelter in the city.

Of course, if you are not satisfied with this arrangement, you can do it the way you like. However, please be sure to bring the housekeeper I recommend to you. Although he is old, he has a lot of knowledge, loyal and reliable, and will never reveal any information about your identity. If you have any doubts, you can also write a letter to inform me and hand it over to Meer.

Forgive me for not keeping my promise to the Great Sacrifice of Shaq. After all, the place I am about to go is not suitable to take a lady to. As for the rude throwing you at the inn this time, I will give you a complete explanation after I return.

————Apologized to Yizhak

"This is..." Roland raised his head suddenly, unable to believe that he was abandoned in this inn on the edge of the forest.

"Miss, since Your Excellency Yizhak has entrusted you to me, Meer will definitely send you to Dem City safely. The magic letter is something that others cannot peek at. As for what you said in the letter, I have no idea. You can rest assured." As if you know what Roland is going to ask, the old man who claims to be a housekeeper took out two other letters, signed by "Sajikre" and "Sandas".

Roland did not have basic common sense about this world, nor did he know the specific information of the Southern Continent, the Church of Light and Luo Lian. If these two letters were read by others, they would be shocked. Because the two people mentioned above were Yeshalien's Grand Priest and the Lord of Dem City, which were not easily seen by ordinary people. What makes people even more delicious is that the two magic letters of special materials were printed on the large seal.

A golden lion with wings is the royal badge of the Holy Empire. The crossed crystal double-edged sword and the round golden rose represent the Luolian royal family and the Paladin of the Church of Light. In today's world, there is only one who can have these three badges at the same time.

Taking it for granted, she wouldn't know who the old man who had been standing at her door early this morning was.

The Clogge family is the royal chief of the Luolian royal family, serving the royal family for generations. This old man, who is not astonishing, has served three princes and two generations of Luolian kings. He is considered a well-known role in the palace. Even the great nobles dare not easily offend this old man who raised the current king.

Originally, he was sent back to the family for rest due to his age, but after receiving an emergency summons from Yizhak, the loyal old Meer rushed to this small inn, which was three days away from Dem City.

Originally, he received a notice saying that he would take care of a woman to go to Dem. As the former chief of the court, Meer wanted to make fun of this friend who was the same age as him, and finally had the plan to get married. But when he saw Yizhak's deep brows, he realized that things were far less simple than he thought.

Looking at the confused girl in front of her, Meer couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Itzhak last night.

"Dear Prince, I finally hope that the day you plan to get married and have children." Pushing open the empty wooden door, Meer, who had not seen his old friend for a year, rushed in and shouted, without paying attention to Yizhak's helplessness.

"Master, you seem to have misunderstood..." Looking at the old man who slapped the Paladin's shoulder in surprise, Usina knew that this was the rumor that the legendary figure who supported the young king, Luo Lian's former court chief Meer Clogge. However, it was a bit inconsistent with the legendary wise praise.

"What?! The little girl you mentioned in your letter is not your fiancée?!" Mayer immediately regretted it.

He was overly excited and did not read the letter Izhak to him carefully. He ignored the obstruction of his children and grandchildren, and rushed over with only a few guards.

"Rolland has a special identity. I happened to receive a letter of help from Thorne, so I had to rush back to Neo. I am only worried about you, so I asked you to come." Sitting back on the wooden chair, Yizhak was worried about how to place Roland.

"Who is she?" Even though she joked, seeing the solemn expression of her old friend, Meer also put away his teasing heart.

"The undead, this is certain. And... the undead who has self-thinking, not afraid of the sun, can act arbitrarily during the day." Thinking of today's test results, Usina still had the shock and fear of seeing Roland bathed in the sun without any injuries.

"The high-level undead transformed by the Fallen Knight..." Meer's face turned pale. Although there were many high-level undead, he was not afraid of the sun and moved during the day. This was at least level twelve or above.

He had served as a great priest in the church, and of course he also knew why Yizhak's face looked so ugly.

Those who can enter the earthly realm without the constraints of the gods are all low-level undead spirits. Apart from skeletons and corpses, without thoughts, are lichs who transcend the constraints of the Gate of the Underworld. The sixth-level undead spirits planned by the church must be summoned to the earthly realm of the main material through summoning.

After listening carefully to Yizhak's brief introduction to the mysterious undead, Meer asked in a deep voice, "So, my friend, what do you need me to do?"

"Follow her, no matter what method she uses, even if she wants to get rid of you, she must stick to her true identity and purpose." On the surface, she promised Shaq and Saru would not attack Roland, but Yizhak was not as stupid as the two of them thought. He saw that Roland was a high-level undead in the Temple of Salia, but he did not take action because of his current identity. He originally wanted to leave the undead in the Temple of Elf, but Shaq, who also did not want to take over this hot potato, threw Roland to Itzhak. He had the most important interests of all empires and churches, so he could only choose a more compromise method.

"I understand, don't worry, before quelling the rebellion in the south, I will monitor the undead named Roland for you."

"Please, Meer..."

*********************************************

*********************************************

The conversation last night was still echoing in my ears, and Meer could not connect this girl who was no different from ordinary people with the undead in the ears of her friends.

"Will we set off today?" After looking at the sky, Roland couldn't help but worry that it would be not good to travel on such a rainy day.

Especially since there is no convenient transportation as in the original world, in this Anitaia, which is almost like the medieval age, it will be hard to move forward if it encounters a bad climate.

Compared with the gorgeous scenery and warm and pleasant climate on the giant island that just arrived in the beginning of this world, the so-called Southern Continent is relatively cold.

In early spring, it was only a day when it was sunny, and it encountered three consecutive days of heavy rain.

"Of course, traveling under such circumstances is extremely inconvenient. If the lady is in a hurry to rush over, I can hire a carriage. If it is not in a hurry... Your Excellency Yizhak hopes that I can do my best to teach some knowledge related to the Southern Continent to the Miss. You said that you migrated from the Eastern Continent and are not very adaptable to the climate here. Of course, you are not clear about the local humanities and geography." Meer put the package in his hand on the log table.

"What is that?" Pointing at the bottle the butler took out of the package, Roland's curious eyes were first attracted by the weird-colored potions.

"This is the easiest entry-level craft of alchemy." Hand Roland and Meer's instructions; "Golden, please apply it evenly to your hair, and then wash it with clean water. Please take it with warm water for the two bottles of brown and blue. Of course, considering the slight error rate of alchemy, I will ask Avena to help you use these potions."

Opening the door, pointing to a tall woman in black clothes standing outside the door at some point, Meer explained the role of those colorful bottles.

Looking at the woman holding the steaming tub in her hand, Roland began to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Wait...why is this?"

"Miss Roland, your double black appearance is too conspicuous. In order not to put you in unpredictable danger, I decided to use alchemy to temporarily hide your special appearance."

After exiting the small dormitory, Meer gave such an explanation before closing the wooden door.
