The Supreme Magic Throne

Chapter 17 The Greatest

John smiled and said, "The order of the knights is twofold: protect the homeland and protect the weak, it seems I did not violate those two. Mr. Wayne would have understood, by comparison, that the words of a thug or a hit man like you are more unbelievable."

"You have no proof" Jackson looked ruthless and vicious.

People know that making all witnesses unwilling or afraid to testify is the best advantage of Aaron's gang. Even the church was generally not involved in this sort of thing, plus the important figures supporting Aaron's gang were also influential in the church.

Lucian laughed, recalling the sentences of the various nobles and knights he had heard and seen before. He said confidently, "He's a knight and you're the leader of the gang, here's the proof."

From the Bronze Crown Tavern, Lucian knew that in the Vaorite Kingdom, the knight included nobility. Although the status of official knights was not high, but at the same time it was not too low either, so gang leaders like Jackson had no right to accuse and would be more unreliable, because there's no big advantage that Aaron's gang can get from John and Lucian.

Instead, John always upheld the rules of chivalry. Elisha's aunt also thought so, so that it could be easily fooled by Jackson.

As soon as Jackson was blocked by Lucian's words, he fell silent. Trapping a knight is something that Aaron's gang can do, but it needs to move a lot of connections and resources, so Aaron's boss can't possibly step in for the sake of a small leader like himself. Especially the atmosphere of Alto city seemed a bit strange recently, like there were many surging undercurrents in the calm, even Boss Aaron kept his own existence a secret throughout the day. Don't know what Boss Aaron is up to, so what he just said was just to scare John.

Moreover, this matter was also not about revenge on the arch-enemy, so there should be no need to risk his future and life.

After becoming a leader, Jackson naturally lost his cruelty to himself.

So Jackson said with great difficulty, "How much compensation do you want? I only have two silver narrows."

Seeing that Jackson was being scared, Lucian turned to look at John and asked him to make a decision. At the same time, he looked at the end of the road in the distance, and said in a low voice, "It seems like the attendant has almost got here, let's hurry we go, let's go, rather than this problem grow later."

As for Aaron's gang people, they also have connections with officers, so definitely have their own way of getting away. .

Although Lucian is a little worried about the secret revenge of Aaron's gang in the future, but thinks about being able to completely conquer or cut off the cause of the problem in the future, but now, he's, neither himself nor John's strength was enough to solve it, plus killing people on the streets could really get John expelled by Mr. Wayne.

John obeyed the rules of the knights, so not thinking of blackmailing Jackson, nodded and said, "Okay, if that's two silver narrows."

Lucian just got robbed of more than 40 fer of copper and some garbage that had not been sold. The rest of the money was carefully hidden in the corner of the ruins of the witch house. Out of fear of witches and being cursed, the villains could not possibly dare to approach. If plus the furniture of his house is damaged, at most only one silver nar more, so the compensation of two silver nar was already double price.

Jackson painstakingly took out his wallet and threw it at John, the contents of the purse were really only two silver narrows, "I've given the family to my men."

John pours two beautiful silver coins, hands them to Lucian, then throws the purse back into Jackson's hands, "Will you search the criminals and take back your robbed anchor?"

Taking the two silver narns, Lucian raised his chin and looked towards the officers who were getting closer, "It's too late, let's go."

Despite being caught by the officers though, he probably won't be punished, but they run away just in case. Lucian did not dare to risk John's future, so could only leave the cute copper fer behind reluctantly.

"okay." John takes the stick so as not to leave any physical evidence, while Lucian picks up the dagger Jackson dropped.

Then Lucian and John began to run wildly, headed for another road, then entered a small alley, before long the figures of the two of them disappeared completely in the market area.

“Hhhh, don't run again, it's enough, rest first.” Lucian said as soon as they had returned to a remote corner of the slum. Lucian was finally able to calm down, leaned against the wall while panting, and realized that his legs had already been greatly weakened. He really had a lot of running this morning, so all of you just sat down on the ground, and said with a smile, "Hahaha, not strong anymore."

John also gasped for breath, seeing that the two wounds on Lucian's body were not deep and the bleeding had stopped, he also sat down and leaned on Lucian, "I was also about to reach the limit, too, being surrounded by them for tens of seconds was more tired than running. But I haven't fought so much in a long time, so completely satisfied."

The two just sat on the ground while leaning against each other, panting and waiting until their energies recovered.

“Ya, satisfied once.” Lucian narrowed his eyes and looked at the clear blue sky, the fight just now felt very warm to him, as if the pain, confusion, and wanderings that had been pressing down on him, were poured out just like that, so that his mind became clear and like never before again, he also really thought of John as a good friend, so could not help but laugh, "Hahahaha."

The laughter was naughty and cheerful.

John was confused, "Lucian, what are you laughing at?"

"I was thinking. Once I could letter and make money, I would travel around the entire land to see different landscapes, different countries, experience different money cuisines, and see all kinds of beautiful legends."

Lucian looked up at the sky and spoke slowly, but in his heart, he continued in silence,

"I want to learn magic, travel around the whole land, explore the knowledge and laws of this world, penetrate the truth of this world, and find my way home.'

'If it works or not, this is the direction I'm going. To my parents and friends in the previous world who were good like John.'

Before being gang-raped by Aaron, Lucian decides to learn magic due to external pressures, the influence of negative emotions, and a longing for power, status, a better life, overwhelming enjoyment, and, and so forth, but now, this is a unanimous and wholehearted decision.

John smiled and said, "Travelling across the land, Lucian, even though the dark creatures and demonic beasts in the eastern mainland countries of the kingdom had almost all been annihilated by the church, the church said, but the wild is still not safe. There were Kobolds, goblins, and gnolls, they were like rats that were breeding rapidly. Although it seems to have been killed all, but a group will soon appear again, by relying on your own strength, it seems like it will not be able to travel alone."

“Kobold, goblins, and gnoll, hmm, are they edible?” Lucian asked involuntarily, because the first thought of eliminating creatures that multiply too quickly is to eat them.

John was a little confused and could not understand Lucian's thoughts, "Maybe not."

"Then forget it, then" said Lucian slightly disappointedly.

John did not ask more, he also looked at the blue sky and said with a sense of longing, "If I could become a high-level knight, I would also explore the land, as well, not knowing a place other than the city of Alto what it was like, what a beautiful song the poets sang."

"By the way Lucian, you should have been more careful recently. Try not to go out of town or in secluded places, those villains are really sneaky."

"Well John, remember to tell Mr. Wayne about this and ask for punishment." Lucian told John.

John was surprised at first, then nodded, "OK, unfortunately I can only learn some military-related letters if I am already a high-level knight. Otherwise, I will definitely teach you."

The two of them were in a good mood, chatting for a while, until their energy recovered, then stood up and walked over to Aunt Elisha's house.

Elisha had already gone to the administrative district to look for Joel, and was walking anxiously. When they finally saw John and Lucian coming home side by side while chatting lightly and laughing together, they could finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Joel opened both of his hands with a smile, "Welcome to our two heroes, you remind me of a vibrant youth."

John and Joel hugged, "Dad, you have to be more careful lately, I'm afraid the villain did something sneaky."

“Villains like this are actually the most cowardly you have beaten them, which actually makes them not dare to do anything.” Joel smiled, then his face became serious, “Actually, you should ask about this kind of thing first to Master Wayne. Since you are a knight, your every action is related to his honor."

John also knew that he had been acting too rashly: "Yes Dad, as soon as I return to the manor later, I will ask for a punishment to Mr. Wayne." He's worried Mr. Wayne won't agree.

Elisha's aunt took out a clean old cloth to bandage Lucian's wound.

After a while, because there was no more business, Lucian stood up and took his leave, want to take advantage of the one hour left before lunch to borrow money from loan sharks in the Bronze Crown Tavern and collect five nar of silver, which is to do important things.

"If I manage to learn magic, it shouldn't be a problem to pay the loan sharks a loan. But if it is not capable, it will be more dangerous, but there is no such thing as a great profit without risk."

Lucian is ready to bear the consequences of borrowing money from loan sharks.

“Evans small, wait.” Joel suddenly stops Lucian.

Lucian turned around puzzledly, "Uncle Joel, what else is it?"

Joel took out an old purse and handed it to Lucian, "Here are eight nar of silver, take it."

“Uncle Joel, Aunt Elisa, you guys.” Lucian was immediately confused. In his heart, he had always felt that Uncle Joel's family should be quite poor like him, and Ivan was also immature, so he had never considered borrowing their money.

Elisa at the side smiled and said, "Little Evans, your Uncle Joel does not have much money. It's also our savings over these two years, although not much, but it can still help you start learning letters."

“But, this is all your savings.” Lucian felt his tears almost drain out.

Joel laughed and patted Lucian on the shoulder, "Because of little John, we had a hard time, and your father helped us a lot. When you can letter later, you can definitely get a job with a decent salary, where might we be worried that the money is not returned the same as you? Or are you worried about not being able to learn letters?"

“I'm very confident, Uncle Joel.” Lucian nodded.

"Although this money coupled with your own money is only enough to study for two months, but if we all work hard together. You can learn at least one letter month every three or four months. So Lucian, you also have to work hard, how much you can learn depends on yourself." Joel's words can be said to consider the problem of Lucian wanting to learn letters to be his own family business.

Lucian's spring almost flowed out, "Thank you Uncle Joel, Aunt Elisha, John." At the same time, he secretly decides to make Uncle Joel's family life better and leaves as soon as possible from Alto's city after he has mastered magic, lest they get involved in danger.

When leaving Aunt Elisha's house, though Lucian's destination was still the Bronze Crown Tavern, but this time not to borrow money, but to seek scholars to study letters.
