Chapter 123: Preparing to depart

Reading this wonderful book and fully absorbing the essence of knowledge requires at least 48 hours of dedicated research time.

Fortunately, learning in games is different from reality after all, and you can quickly skip the hard reading process through game mechanisms.

After Goofy said goodbye to Sir Dashwood and Count Oswald, he returned to his office and spent his astrolabe energy to skip the study process.

The screen flashed, and the time in the game came to a week later.

At this time, Brother Musk has fully absorbed the knowledge recorded in the "Domination Volume", and his charm attribute has increased to 27 points.

It happened to be the weekend, and as usual, Musk took his fiancée, Miss Lisa, to Pattus Street in a carriage to attend the gathering of "Street Angels".

Meeting Umberto, Claire and Mario at the Paradise Tavern, Lisa was in a show-off mood and revealed that her fiancé would serve as a "royal envoy" and "royal duel agent" and go to Patos, the capital of the Aquamarine Kingdom, to replace Bo.

Queen Erja upholds justice and challenges Adam Rulf, who slanders Her Majesty the Queen.

When Claire and Mario learned about this, they were both happy that Musk was appreciated by His Majesty the King.

Claire also imagined that Musk might be able to obtain the title of Lord and join the ranks of the nobility by virtue of this achievement when he returns victorious from Hailan.

"By then, my dear Lisa, you will be a noble lady!" Claire said with envy.

"Sister Claire, I can't even think of such a beautiful thing!" Lisa's face beamed with joy and she said insincerely, "I'm not the kind of vain woman, and I don't care about the title of noble lady, as long as I

I will be satisfied if Musk successfully completes His Majesty’s commission!”

"Are you also going abroad with Musk?" Claire asked next.

"Of course!" Lisa hugged her fiancé's arm, her eyes full of sweetness, "How can a majestic royal envoy not have a woman by his side to take care of trivial matters such as food and daily life? I have been on vacation in Patus twice.

I am familiar with the local situation, so I just took this opportunity to take Musk around."

At the bar, Umberto, who had been drinking silently, suddenly raised his head with a particularly serious expression.

"Brother Musk, is your duel opponent Adam Rulf the famous dragon-slaying hero?"

"I heard that yes, brother Umberto, do you recognize this person?"

"For some reasons that are inconvenient to disclose, I often go to Patus on business trips. I once met Adam Rulf once, but we were not friends, but I left a deep impression on him."

Mario heard what he meant, put away his smile and asked: "Adam Rulf, how strong is he?"

"I have never fought against him, so I cannot make rash assertions." Umberto pondered, and then said, "Judging from this man's past record, he has participated in eleven duels, all of which have achieved overwhelming victory. Obviously,

He is a powerful character.”

"Brother Musk has won all the public duels he has participated in in the past two years." Mario said disapprovingly.

"But Adam Rulf also has the title of 'Dragon Slayer' and once killed an adult black dragon by himself. Can Musk do the same thing?" Umberto asked rhetorically.

"This..." Faced with the focused attention of everyone, the young judicial knight told the truth, "I dare to accept such a challenge, but I am not sure of victory."

"In any case, Adam Rulf is, after all, the leading swordsman in the Aquamarine Kingdom. He is much stronger than all Musk's previous duel opponents. You must be careful in accepting the challenge and never underestimate the enemy."

Umberto gave a few warnings, but still felt uneasy, so he asked Musk: "When will you and Lisa leave? Have you booked the ferry tickets?"

"We plan to go to sea next week, but the ferry tickets haven't been booked yet."

"There is a cargo ship parked at the dock. It will set sail for Patous the day after tomorrow. The captain is my old friend Dantès. You and Lisa might as well take this smooth sailing ship. I will also accompany you on board. It will be nice on the way.

A response."

"I was born in Patos. I moved to Avalon with my mother when I was ten years old. I often returned to my hometown later."

Umberto talked about his hometown with mixed emotions in his eyes.

"When we get to Patus, I can ask friends from my hometown to help find out about Adam Rulf, especially his martial arts and spells. This information will help Musk formulate duel strategies."

"Brother Umberto, thank you for your trouble." Musk said gratefully.

"Regard me as the eldest brother and stop talking nonsense." Umberto took a sip of wine and then asked him: "Besides you and Lisa, is there anyone else traveling with you?"

"There is also my friend Paul Porter. He is an aristocratic young master and is very familiar with Pattus's upper-class society. When he gets there, he will serve as my assistant and be responsible for contacting Queen Borgia." Musk

answer.

Umberto nodded and said softly: "Tomorrow I will go find Dantès and ask him to leave four spacious cabins on the ship and keep them clean so as not to be disliked by the noble young master."

After hearing this, Claire wanted to say something, but swallowed it back in embarrassment.

Lisa saw the hope in her eyes, vaguely guessed her plan, and secretly cast the second-level spell "Detect Thoughts". After scanning Lisa's thoughts at the moment, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Lisa, why are you laughing?" Musk looked at his girlfriend in surprise.

"I'm laughing at Brother Umberto for his stubbornness and incomprehension of style."

"How do you say this?"

"Do I need to tell you more directly?" Lisa glanced at her fiancé, "There is such a great opportunity to go on vacation abroad. It would be boring for a grown man to travel alone. Why not bring Sister Claire along with you?"

"It makes sense!" Musk nodded suddenly, "Sister Claire is staying with brother Umberto, so when we go on a date, he doesn't have to be a candle next to us, which saves us the embarrassment!"

"Hey! What are you two brats talking about?! I... I don't want to go to Patus!"

The red-haired girl's pretty face instantly became redder than her hair, but she was still arrogant and tough-mouthed.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Umberto, a straight man with steel, finally understood. He shook Claire's hand and said softly: "Go back to the circus and say hello to Mr. Puzo, and say you want to invite him."

Take two months' leave and travel abroad with me."

"Yuck! I haven't made up my mind yet whether I want to go or not!"

"If you don't go, I will give Mario the ticket."

"Wait a minute!" Claire was too anxious to be restrained, "Can't I just go? I'm going to change my clothes tonight!"

"What other clothes are you preparing? Patus is a fashion capital, so what kind of fashionable clothes are there?" Lisa laughed and teased the red-haired girl, "When we get to Patus, I will take you to the mall. You can get whatever fashion you like.

, our generous brother Umberto will be happy to pay for you."
