51. A hard road

Before the butler separated from Rolle, he returned to the steam car and took out a cage from the trunk, which contained Kelly's little milk cat.

As soon as the little kitten saw Roll, it made a milky sound and stretched out its furry little paws from the gap, waving at Roll.

Rolle tore open the cage, picked up the kitten and stuffed it into the breast pocket of his shirt, then nodded goodbye to the housekeeper.

But after taking a few steps, the housekeeper called him from behind.

"Mr. Rohr, please calm down!"

His tone was very sincere.

"Don't worry, I am a model citizen who knows the law and abides by it, not a lawless maniac."

Rohr said without looking back, waved his hand and walked out of the alley.

He wandered aimlessly in the street for a long time, his mind was at war with nature and man, and he was in a mess.

Reason tells him that there is nothing to do now, don't get involved in these things, just wait for the news, even if he wants to do something, he has nowhere to start.

But his sensibility told him that he shouldn't be so passive and must do something.

After some tangle, he walked to the door of a telegraph office, thought for a moment, and shamelessly went in to send a telegram to the doctor, hoping to hear his opinion.

When encountering this kind of thing, the only person who can discuss it is the doctor.

That night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.

I finally fell asleep, and then I vaguely heard the buzzing sound of flies in my ears. I held my sword and tried to cut the flies into pieces, but I didn't know where they flew.

There are stables downstairs, so annoying things like this are inevitable.

Early the next morning, the postman delivered the telegram, and the little cat gave him the doctor's reply from under the door.

Roll opened it quickly.

The doctor started by apologizing. He couldn't help much in this matter. The imperial capital did not have the power of their church. This was the headquarters of the three major sects of 'Science and Truth', 'Miracles of Life' and 'Equal'. Other sects had no place.

.

Then, he revealed some information. The reason why the Scholars Association was so mobilized was because the explosion destroyed a very important confidential experiment, so it caused a fuss.

Finally, he also gave similar advice to the butler, asking Rohr to wait and see what happens, not to act rashly, and not to get involved in this kind of thing.

Rolle understood that the doctor's starting point was for his own good, but this telegram was really uneasy.

He left the little kitten in the care of a little donkey, and then wandered around the streets by himself, harboring the unfounded fantasy that "if you just wander around, you might bump into the real perpetrator."

The Imperial Capital is very large, several times larger than the Furnace Castle, and it is also very prosperous. The curfew in time caused some people to panic, but it still could not block the vitality of the city.

What's even more commendable is that the environment and air quality here are very good, without the smog of big cities. This is probably the advantage of the steam magic technology system, right?

It's a pity that Luo Er is not in the mood to appreciate the local customs and customs here, let alone the appetite to go to the food court.

While walking around, he passed by an open-air training ground and saw several young apprentices swinging their swords at the wooden stakes, shouting and laughing, looking like they were working very hard.

"It's still a bit like when I was young..."

Luo Er murmured something in a low voice and couldn't help but look at them twice, as if he wanted to find his youth in them.

As a result, I frowned as I looked at it.

Why do they look more and more alike?

He quickly took a look at the flag hanging at the entrance of the training ground, which was embroidered with a broken sword that was pitted, tattered and missing a tip, which meant 'The sword will not retreat even if it is broken, and will not rest until death.

'Courage and determination.

Very generous and heroic, Luo Er was attracted by this courage and joined the 'Broken Blade' swordsmen group.

This is also his first home in this other world.

I just didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet again in the imperial capital.

Rohr stood at the door, hesitating and hesitating for a long time, but finally shook his head and did not dare to go in.

I was a loser who didn't even pass the test. I didn't protect my client well. I didn't dare to go back and recover afterward. How could I have the dignity to go back now?

He left with a sad look on his face. He didn't go far and passed by a tavern. It was exactly noon, so he went in and ordered a slightly more expensive lunch. Then he chatted with a young waitress and asked about the Swordsmen Group.

thing.

"Uncle, you don't even know about the Broken Blade Swordsman Corps? This is the premier swordsman corps in the imperial capital. I heard that the leader, Lord Zakun, is also the swordsmanship teacher of the royal family!"

The little girl's face turned slightly red and her eyes flickered as she told everything she knew about the situation.

And the more he talked about it, the closer he got. If the boss hadn't been coughing behind the bar, he would have reached out to wipe it off.

It wasn't until the boss couldn't bear to scold her that the little girl ran to other tables with a look of regret and let go of this rare handsome man.

"To be able to bring the Swordsman Corps to the Imperial Capital and develop it so well, Captain Zakun is really going strong..."

"This is good..."

Luo Er sighed in a low voice.

Judging from what the little girl heard from the waiter, the Swordsman Corps is much more powerful now than it was back then. It is not only related to the royal family, but also has instructors serving in the City Guards. Even the students who enroll are at the high end.

At the very least, only the middle class can afford tuition. The situation where Luo Er was taken in even though he was so poor will most likely never happen again.

If... you can ask the leader to help, maybe... with Keli's matter...

An idea came to Luo Er's mind, and then he fell into deep thought.

This is indeed a path, but it is difficult to walk.

What he did back then would be an exaggeration to say he was a deserter, and violated the creed of the Swordsmen.

If you go back by yourself, you will most likely be humiliated, laughed at, and then kicked out. So why bother to humiliate yourself with shame?

But if he doesn't go, there's nothing he can do except wait anxiously every day...

If things were to change again, if something went wrong with the Duke, then he would have no choice but to rush in, take his daughter away by force, and then the father and daughter would go on the run together as wanted criminals.

My daughter’s future is gone...

Luo Er sat there and hesitated for a long time. It wasn't until the little girl pulled his arm that he came back to his senses.

"Uncle, I see you look uncomfortable. Could it be that... you didn't bring any money?"

Luo Er was almost amused by this little girl, so he quickly paid and prepared to leave.

"Uncle, remember to come back next time!"

The little girl sent him to the door with enthusiasm.

Later, there was a series of angry roars from the boss:

"You naughty little girl, can't you close your legs when you see an old man?"
