245 Mr. Evans (2/2)

At this time, the tavern's door opened, and there came in a young battle sorcerer wearing a black magic robe. He first looked around at the people in the tavern with his blue, threatening eyes. Feeling his oppressive aura, no one in the tavern dared look at him directly. Then, he walked to the two apprentices in the corner who were still drinking although they were already beyond drunk.

The battle sorcerer grabbed their wood cups and threw them onto the ground, and the golden liquor was everywhere. The two apprentices slowly looked up at the sorcerer, confusedly.

”I'm Charlie. I'm here to solve the problem in Castle Bertren. You two answer my questions carefully,” said the young man seriously. His years of experience in fighting gave him this kind of oppressive manner.

The two apprentices looked a bit more sober now, and they started trembling. The female apprentice with burgundy-colored hair responded in trembling voice, ”Mr. Charlie… I'm Susan and this is Scott. We were Mr. Bertren's apprentices… At that night, Mr. Bertren tried to summon… those things… in his chamber….”

At this time, a black, short-haired lady came into the tavern. She was wearing an elegant, purple magic robe, and her brownish-yellow eyes were cold and sharp. After looking around, she directly walked to Charlie and introduced herself, ”Hi, I'm Sandra, middle rank. I'm also with the task.”

”I'm Charlie, middle rank.” Charlie nodded. Neither Charlie nor Sandra wanted to reveal their specific level right in front of so many people, and both of them were wearing their badges underneath their robes.

The golden-bearded dwarf turned around and took a quick glance at them, then murmured to the middle-aged woman and the scar-faced man, ”Of course, the Congress has sent people here already… Look at them… They're at least of fourth circle. Just one of them could just destroy the whole castle… even the whole town.”

Those adventures rarely saw real sorcerers, not to mention middle-ranked ones, so they were curious and regarded those sorcerers with fear and reverence.

”I told you…” The scar-faced man looked a bit intimidated.

Charlie and Sandra, on the other side, were listening to the apprentices carefully, and they did not care how those adventurers were commenting on them at all, because they were just too powerful and confident to be bothered by things like that.

This kind of attitude impressed the adventurers even more.

”I heard that we have one more sorcerer for this task?” After listening to the apprentices, Sandra asked Charlie.

”That's right.” Charlie nodded, ”He's not here yet. Let's wait for him a bit longer. We can be safer with one more person's power, and I think he should be middle-rank, shouldn't he?”

”For sure,” answered Sandra simply.

”Are they waiting for someone?” The middle-aged woman looked at the tavern door.

”Come on… They don't have to…” the dwarf murmured, ”They're of at least fourth circle!”

”It's always good to be cautious.” When the scar-faced man was saying this, the tavern door was opened again.

Subconsciously, all the people in the tavern turned around and looked at the person who just came in.

It was a young, good-looking man, who was wearing a black, double-breasted coat, a black top hat and a fine monocle, which made him look gentle and elegant.

Those adventurers in the tavern all wondered why a young noble would come there.

Charlie and Sandra looked at him cautiously, as they were not sure whether he was the sorcerer that they were waiting for. After all, the man just looked too young to be a middle-rank.

At this time, both Charlie and Sandra noticed the purple-gem ring on the young man's right hand. The ring was very unique and gorgeous.

They recognized the young man immediately.

The man was the youngest winner of Holm Crown prize, an honorary member of Holm Royal Magic Academy, the genius who managed to upgrade to middle rank within a year!

Watching the young man walking to them elegantly with a smile on his face, both Charlie and Sandra suddenly stood up together and greeted him respectfully, ”Nice to meet you, Mr. Evans.”

Their attitude surprised everyone present.
