Xu Jun had wanted to leave last night, but he didn't dare to think about why he wanted to go to the Golden Banner as soon as possible. He wanted to go to the Golden Banner's Holy City to report to the Emperor and the Pope that the Demon King wasn't dead. On one hand, he wanted to confirm his position, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if the Pope or the Emperor would let him challenge the Demon King again. That way, he would be justified.

As for challenging the Demon King for the first time, it was purely because he wanted to do it. He wanted to clear the game so that he could win the first prize for the Hero class at the highest difficulty. He didn't think about justifying it … so he didn't care about it for now. _ (: 3. ∠) _

Xu Jun said that he wanted to leave. Although the people of Mundama City knew that he would leave sooner or later, from Cole and Irene to Old Larry's family, from the guards to the little girls, no one wanted him to leave just like that.

Mundama City was still quite desolate, but it would be much better in winter. The summer here was hot and the winter was warm. Many nobles of the Golden Banner were willing to come here for a holiday. At that time, there would be a Winter Snow Festival. There would be a final competition during the Winter Snow Festival, and Xu Jun would be able to get first place.

Xu Jun thought about it and still refused. He had experienced the Winter Snow Festival before, and that was in the game.

At that time, the game's settings were quite strange. The Winter Snow Festival was Halloween, Christmas, and Spring Festival in one. During the seven days of the festival, the naughty children would be even more naughty. However, the adults couldn't scold or beat the children, and they had to give them all kinds of sweets to eat.

Xu Jun, who had spent a long time in an orphanage, wanted to beat up the naughty children when he saw them. He politely declined the Winter Snow Festival.

He found some reasons to leave immediately. He said that it would be winter after October, and that once winter arrived, the road maintenance fees would increase, so the road tolls would also increase.

If the road tolls were five copper coins in the summer, it would increase to ten copper coins in the winter. This was the rule of the Golden Banner in the north.

The minister who proposed this rule simply had money in his eyes.

North of the Golden-Flag Empire, one could reach the Icicle Grassland. It was indeed very cold there, and there were very few days during winter. Therefore, it was reasonable to charge more tolls. However, it would only get colder in the south in November. It would be unsightly to raise the tolls since October.

Not to mention that the free cities in the south were not technically part of the Golden Banner.

Xu Jun sighed. When he was traveling from the Saint Origin Highlands to Mundama City, he didn't want to take the main road. He wanted to kill some monsters along the way. But … after looting the church, all the alchemy materials that could be found on this map were already in his bag. The map seemed to have lost its original attraction. _ (: 3. ∠) _

Forget it. Let the magical beasts and subcivilizations in this land live and thrive for a while. Not overhunting is the way to sustainable development.

"Senior Xu Jun, I'll go with you!"

The next day, Ska packed her bag and carried it on her back. She even put on a plain combat suit without embroidery or lace. She walked with Xu Jun on the street and bought some consumables along the way. "I've drugged Gauss and Mike. They're still lying in the house … Let's go!

Senior, I've decided to follow you. I'm not going home! "

The red-haired leader of the knights, Ska, had temporarily disbanded. The members of the knights had also gone back to their own homes. However, she did not seem to have suffered a big blow. She walked with Xu Jun with light steps. She was full of energy, and her red ponytail bounced behind her head. "Senior, I've thought it through. My noble status can't help me. I must have my own real career. I like adventure. This is the life I want."

It seemed that this child had been completely led astray by Xu Jun. She wanted to be a professional adventurer or a professional adventurer.

Xu Jun: "… But isn't your brother coming to pick you up soon?"

When the word 'brother' came out, Ska's face turned pale. "Don't mention him. Cough. Senior, if my brother knows that I forced myself to stay here and fought the undead, I'll be dead … My brother's character is not good. Since I was a child, he liked to pick on my bad habits …"

Xu Jun occasionally nodded to show that he was listening.

Ska was so excited that she did not pay attention to the things around her. She did not notice the people on the street who were covering their mouths and whispering about nobles and knights.

Ever since the young knight was taught a lesson in reality in Golden Fruit Garden Village, he had been depressed for two days. Late at night, when there was no one around, he often doubted his dreams and pursuits. Was he too naive? Did he just want to do something that was in line with his identity as a 'knight'? Was this thinking too childish?

But in Mundama City, when he saw what Senior Xu Jun had done, he changed his mind.

It turned out that it wasn't that many things couldn't be done. It was just that one couldn't do anything without considering or preparing. It turned out that even if one wanted to do something good, one had to think twice before doing it. It wasn't like others had to pay for what one did. If Senior Xu Jun thought that Bishop Carloman was a bad person and killed him, then he wouldn't be the hero of Mundama City, but a sinner.

From the snow orchid, to Marlow in the slums, to Old Haney's grave, these things did not seem difficult, but if Ska had to do it, he would not be able to do it so well.

This was because he did not want to go to the slums. When he saw the poor Old Larry and his family, he could only think of giving them some money. He also did not want to dig up Old Haney's grave. Even if he could think of it, he might just ask someone else to do it. For example, he might ask the servants to do it while he sat in the hall and waited for his subordinates to report.

However, Xu Jun used his own actions to tell him that if he asked someone else to do this kind of thing, he would not be able to get the most authentic first-hand information.

"My brother often says that if a noble doesn't learn to be lazy, they don't deserve their identity … I think he is wrong."

Ska concluded and looked at Xu Jun seriously. However, Xu Jun … looked at Ska with pity.

"When did I say that nobles should learn to be lazy?

Hmm? "

As a gloomy voice came from behind, Skar's face turned ghastly pale.

Her red ponytail drooped. Ska's hands trembled. "Brother … brother, you are here. Hahahaha?"

Xu Jun looked at the handsome young man riding a horse. "Oh, hello, second young master of the Toloman Family. Your brother just said a lot of strange things. I will pretend that I didn't hear it, okay?"

Ska's biological brother, who was dressed as a knight but was actually a senior magus, smiled a little gloomily. He touched Ska's head with his hand. "A lot of strange things?

Ska, what did you say to Mr. Xu Jun? "

Ska looked at Xu Jun with grievance. She was about to cry.

The person who came was Ska's eldest brother, Lard Toloman. He was ranked second among the young people of the Toloman Family. He was ranked second, and his strength was also ranked second.

The first was Ska's cousin, Kaspinder Toloman. He was less than 30 years old this year and was already a senior magus. With this strength, he could take charge of things in the Holy City.

Kasbinder was a very upright person with the seriousness of a teaching director. When Xu Jun first saw him, he thought that he had returned to high school, back when he was dragged to school for education instead of doing his homework. He couldn't bear to look back on those unbearable times.

After getting familiar with him, he realized that he was born like this. He was strict with others, but even more so with himself. He had two younger brothers who were close to him. One of them was Lard, who was also young and promising. He was already a senior magus at the age of 25 or 26. The other one was Ska, who was studying in a knight school in the south. As a child, he always had some whimsical ideas, but he did not talk about specific things.

Kaspinder and Lard also got to know Xu Jun later. The three of them even drank together. Kaspinder looked rigid, but he was more relaxed with his friends.

Lard Toloman was much more casual than Kaspinder. Just like what Ska said, this guy was born with a bad heart. He liked to watch other people's fun when he had nothing to do.

In the past, when he chatted with Xu Jun, he would occasionally talk about his silly little brother and how he bullied him when he was young.

However, the two of them did not meet much, and they only talked about his little brother a few times. So, Xu Jun only knew one thing about this "little brother": he was an unlucky kid with two powerful brothers above him.

He did not expect that the unlucky kid was Ska.

The Toloman Family did not only have Kaspinder's father and Ska's father. Ska had never said anything about her father and brothers. She only said that Kaspinder was her cousin. Xu Jun did not think that he and Lard's unlucky little brother were the same person.

After all, in Lard's words, his little brother was a fool, the kind who would sell himself for money after being sold.

At that time, Lard shook his wine glass and said, "I've always thought that if I can let my little brother be deceived a few more times, maybe he will grow some brains and not be deceived by others when he goes out."

… There seemed to be nothing wrong with that.

Lard also learned about Xu Jun's existence from Mike's letter home. He also knew that with Xu Jun in Mundama City, nothing major would happen, so he was not very worried about his little brother's safety. However, in the past few days, he met the Seventh Elder of the Illuminati who came out of the Holy City. He vaguely heard some things and realized that the unlucky one might be Xu Jun.

Larder rubbed Skar's head a few times until his beautiful ponytail looked like a bird's nest. Then, he stretched out his whip and pushed Skar aside. He dismounted from his horse and walked side by side with Xu Jun. "Be careful. The Church of Light is here for you. It's the Seventh Elder. This guy has always been against the pope and the Holy Son. If you need my help later, just let me know."

It was true that the Toloman Family was afraid of the Illuminati, but they did not have to be afraid of an elder in the church.

The author has something to say: Write more on the weekend. Try to update 4,000 times a day to speed up the progress and let Xu Jun and Roschinke meet earlier. _ (: 3.gov.cn) _

I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
