The baby's identity is out of place! When I met Old Tom, a dirty-looking, slightly older man, I felt close to him in an instant.

When Jack first arrived at the guide hall in Wenti County, he went through a relatively long journey. It took about three quarters of an hour to go from Mousse Village, where Jack was located, to Wenti County. Jack had already acquired some small magic, and he could use one touch to

The large shy lotus leaf that can close the leaves is folded down together with the pole, and the wind is used to drag the lotus leaf up and fly through relatively simple wind magic. This small magic is taught by the only old man who knows magic in the village.

, the old man disappeared last year, and Jack has no one to teach him, but this is a lucky thing. Jack has learned entry magic and condensed magic, but he will not stick to the old man's self-created method, as if it just opened Jack's mind.

Although he did not teach any special martial arts secrets, it was all up to Jack to study alone. Jack himself was also very smart. In addition to training harder in the taught spells, he also relied on his gifted elemental recognition.

Zhi has mastered several practical little spells, covering combat, farming, and recreation. Take cattle herding as an example. The place where Jack grazes cattle must be relatively fertile. Although Jack cannot change the existing fertility of the land out of thin air, he can

But you can use the elemental power of water elves and earth elves to make the place moist and fertile.

The sylphs were flying and spinning under the shy lotus leaves. Jack's journey back and forth was much faster, and more importantly, he did not need to pay for the carriage. The shy lotus leaves were collected from the pole, and the lotus leaves were tapped lightly.

It will be folded up, just like a big umbrella that can fly. When folded up, the shaved pole is wrapped in lotus leaves and placed in a special thin bamboo tube, with two openings and a white rope attached to it.

Passing through and carrying it on Jack's body, it's like carrying a blue scroll. It's just that such a poetic corner of the scenery is really incompatible with Jack's linen clothes. Rich people also ride in horse-drawn carriages. How can they use this method?

On the way?

Jack put the umbrella on his back and looked at the hurried flow of people. Jack was dazzled by the people of different races. There were orcs with furry cat ears, and Chinese people with black hair, long sleeves and wide robes. What kind of appearance did they have?

Some embarrassed goblins gathered in the guide hall. Some were waiting anxiously, some were happy, and some were frowning. They came in various shapes and expressions, which was still a bit shocking to Jack. In Mousse,

You don’t see many people of other races in the small village. The only people you see a few times are the dwarves who come to Mousse Village to borrow things. They are short in stature and almost all the men have big beards. I heard that they are clever and handy.

His craftsmanship was superb, and it was very rare to come to Mousse Village to borrow things. Jack was still learning magic with the old man at the time and didn't pay attention. He just felt that there was such a strange race and was surprised, even happy.

But looking at these unfamiliar faces now, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Nine-year-old Jack, with flowing short blond hair and gray-yellow coarse linen clothes, carrying a slender green bamboo tube, looked around at the steps of the guide hall that was so familiar yet so strange.

Although Jack has been a guide for almost a year, he still has not received an official invitation from the guide hall to become an official guide. He has entered the guide hall. Old Tom said that there are only a few guides who have been leading groups outside the guide hall for more than a year.

Qualified to enter the guide hall to receive formal tasks, there are no age or other special restrictions, only recognition of the guide's ability.

This year, Jack relied on his "outstanding talent" and familiarity with the geographical environment. He did not make any mistakes, and his reputation was extremely high. He saw special abilities unknown to ordinary people, relied on animals and elemental elves, and had not even encountered them once.

[Shadow Hunter], plus he is only nine years old, can be regarded as a legend in the guide world of Windy County. This is also thanks to Old Tom imparting a lot of wilderness knowledge and experience to Jack. Although Jack led the team

It was a short-distance team, but the capable manager still helped Jack a lot. Jack was extremely grateful to Old Tom.

Today was the day that he was going to register as an official guide, but Old Tom was not waiting for him outside, and there was no sign of him when he looked around. He was a little disappointed, but it only aggravated the nervousness of Jack's pounding heart.

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Jack was a little hesitant to serve as a formal guide and lead a formal team. Thinking of his father's lack of expectations and visionary expectations for his future, becoming a member of the Knights was definitely not his life.

A little mage was by no means his upper limit. In order to raise funds for the [Dragon Dragon Competition], Jack often breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the efforts of leading the team this year were worth it. He gritted his teeth and finally gathered up the courage.

Walking towards the guide hall, but despite this, he still felt that these short steps seemed to be very long. There was no one around to ask, or no one had time to be asked. The unfamiliar environment and the noisy crowd made Jack feel...

Feeling pressure.

Jack opened his legs and mustered up his confidence. He held his head high, hands and feet wide open and closed, trying to walk in a dignified manner. Most of the caravan leaders entering and exiting the guide hall were elegant and elegant, and their clothes were gorgeous and elegant, which really impressed Jack.

There was an inexplicable pressure. He was trying to look dignified and less ugly by opening and closing his eyes, but now it was even more comical. When his eyes came into contact with the slightly fragrant shoulders of those tall beauties, even those who looked at them as if they were looking at a strange creature.

Looking at his eyes, Jack had to raise his head and look away, his face turned red. Even if he looked here unintentionally, he would immediately feel embarrassed, not only because he seemed a little out of place among so many people, but he felt

Seeing many pairs of eyes looking at him, he was embarrassed for a moment not knowing what to do. Most of the time, he was still wearing the yellowed coarse linen clothes, which made him look less fashionable here. He felt a little unwilling in his heart, and the gap in status made him feel uncomfortable.

I can't breathe. Of course, compared with those aristocratic costumes, it really can't compare.

Why are these steps so long? Jack was murmuring in his heart. However, as a farm boy, Jack was immediately attracted by other things. Those gorgeous clothes and gems shone on the bodies of people who entered the guide hall to seek guidance.

, they were like the focus of the entire guide hall, and the precious gems and silk clothes made people jealous. For a moment, Jack's eyes followed the gorgeous clothes involuntarily, and he was distracted.

"Ah!" Jack hit something with a sound. A white barrier as hard as an iron plate blocked Jack. Jack was shocked. He had been too concerned about other people's eyes and was distracted. What had he hit?

"Kid, be careful!" A gloomy male voice shouted to Jack, who was half-faced by a white barrier. Jack endured the pain and stepped back, looked in the direction of the voice, and hurriedly said sorry. The man with that voice had blond hair.

His hair, wearing the iconic military uniform of the Principality, and his stern face with a bit of majesty. Jack couldn't understand the military rank and didn't know this man's military rank, but judging from his dignified appearance and majestic appearance, his military rank should be not low.

He accidentally got distracted and was stopped by others. He was a little embarrassed in front of everyone. The eyes of the whole hall seemed to be attracted. Jack was stunned. He saw pairs of eyes looking at him.

, their eyes were shining with cold light, like cold swords stabbing at him, and they had no energy left to look at each other! He felt that his voice seemed to be a little hoarse and was not very clear. He could only watch Kraft.

The magic stream trapped me, making me dizzy!

"I have every reason to arrest you and put you in jail. Didn't you see Her Royal Highness?" The officer shook his arm fiercely, looked at him with disdain, walked towards the "Princess" who was watching him and said: "

Your Highness, there is no need to panic, he is just a child." Then he waved his hand and canceled the white barrier. His white magic power was clearly visible, and then it disappeared in an instant. He thought he had extraordinary strength.

"Captain Kraft, don't worry about it." A calm, mature voice came from the princess's cherry lips. Her forehead was decorated with the national flower "Jasmine" pattern, her red hair and blue eyes, her delicate appearance even made her look like a lady in pink and white.

They are all a bit inferior, and the smile hanging on the corner of her mouth can melt people's hearts. Her snow-white skin is like bright snow, her dignified and well-proportioned figure makes the black rose skirt more luxurious, and her eyebrows reveal a touching look.

, she is a beautiful jade carved by God, with holy brilliance. She is the princess of the principality, with a spirit that is admired by thousands of people. With just one glance, Jack was stunned by the attraction. Her beautiful face, her demeanor,

Her grace made him feel that the princess should be above all else, and there was no doubt about it. She did not intercede for Jack, but called Captain. Without any more words, she glanced at him, her only glance, and then turned around.

Like a mortal goddess, looking down at his people. Even though he is so far away from the princess, he can still feel her majesty!

Then, he realized that today was a big day for all the Wenti County guides! Even though half of his face was still covered by a white barrier and he didn't look good, he could still feel the warmth on his face.

of shame.

Fortunately, for a moment, he glanced at Old Tom.

Old Tom ran over in a panic from the side. He knelt in front of Jack and pleaded with Captain Kraft: "This is the adopted grandson of the villain. He has eyes but cannot see the mountains. He offended the captain and he is really blind. The child still has no eyesight."

I'm young and ignorant. I hope the captain will forgive me." He quickly pulled Jack and asked Jack, who was stunned at the princess, to bow and apologize.

"Your Highness is as kind-hearted as a god and will not hold you accountable, but there will be no next time. If it happens to a little assassin, I can't bear it! Do you understand? Mr. Cruise Tom." Kraft is obviously still very angry.

.

"Yes, yes, my adopted grandson is usually very well-behaved, but he suddenly became stupid. He is also a good guide in Wenti County. He has never been in any danger and is better than many people. Today

I was so flustered all of a sudden, please don't mind. Your Highness the Princess is so magnanimous, and I thanked Her Highness on his behalf." Tom pulled Jack, who had his head lowered, bowed to apologize, and walked out. A small stone bulged in Jack's heart.

In his heart, he couldn't pull it out. His ears were already red, and he lowered his head and couldn't see his face. He saw many pairs of footsteps stopped, and he could feel that they were intentionally making way for these two distinguished guests. But he was the only one.

It was really bad to have his head hit. Now he wanted to find a hole to crawl in. Fortunately, there was Old Tom, otherwise, he might not be able to escape jail if he was too scared to say a word.

Captain Kraft shook off his general's robe, bowed respectfully to the princess, and waved to leave the guide hall. Everyone had already made way for them. Kraft held the princess' gauzy fingertips and clicked his military boots.

With a solemn voice, she exited. The long road to the outside of the hall made people feel so complicated. The princess glanced at her grandfather and grandson who were still kneeling, then got on the carriage dignifiedly and left.

Afterwards, Jack breathed a sigh of relief and was led by Old Tom to the registration office of the guide hall, completing Jack's formal guide registration. However, Old Tom remained silent throughout the whole process, and his frown did not disappear.

In the tavern, Old Tom sat in a corner booth, which was a few tables away from the counter and the liveliest central hall. Basically no one passed by and no one cared. He was just surrounded by those chattering people.

The guests were blocking it, so it was dark here, and there was no extra light to shine through. Even in broad daylight, magic lamps had to be used to illuminate them, but in this bad location, the magic lamps were all dim yellow lights, which immersed the grandfather and grandson.

In the color of dusk, Old Tom's wrinkled face was not tired. Half of his face was not in the darkness, but he was very energetic, but his brows were still furrowed, and his two pairs of eyes looked at Jack with vigour. Jack lowered his head,

He said nothing. He knew that his mistakes were much bigger than those in the past. They were not the small mistakes he made as a guide with Tom and could be solved with a scolding, but huge mistakes.

Although Jack did not directly bump into the princess's team, as long as he recklessly entered the range of the princess, he might be killed by the guards hiding in the dark as an assassin. Captain Kraft's timely stop could be regarded as saving Jack's life.

.

Although Jack didn't know there was a hidden escort, he still knew what mistake he had made. A noble girl really shouldn't be close to a poor kid like him, just like a toad shouldn't think about swan meat and its qualifications to stand in front of a swan.

None. So, he didn't say a word or cry, just staring at the dim table illuminated by the old magic lamp.

"Tom? I haven't seen you for a long time." A slightly hoarse voice sat down with a smile. It was the owner of the tavern, with his thick beard and narrowed eyes, he said with a smile: "We have found another good seedling.

Already?" He put a glass of ale wine on the table and pushed the orange juice to Jack's side. He glanced at Jack at the same time. Jack's baby-fat face was a little red. He heard the boss's words and turned around.

They happened to be facing the boss, their eyes met, and the boss also looked at this little boy carefully.

I saw that Jack's eyes were a little red, and he might have felt a little wronged, but his eyes were still lively and full of energy at a glance. The boss yelled and smiled at Tom: "Are you wronged?"

"Huh!" Tom stopped talking, maybe a little angry, and breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring the boss who kept squinting his eyes.

"This bad old man can't do anything else. He's very kind to his apprentices. Don't be angry." He turned to Jack who buried his head again: "You follow him and learn hard. It won't be a problem to become a great guide in the future. I've heard about you before.

, it’s my first time today, and it’s free!” He pushed the juice to Jack’s table and left. Tom and Jack were left alone, but Tom still didn’t say anything, took out a paper-rolled cigarette stick, and took

He knocked out a small flint to create a flame, and it lit with a "pop" sound, making a small sizzling sound. Smoking sticks and flints were things from a certain era, and they were not used by ordinary people today. Old Tom lit them with the dim light.

, trembled and inhaled, and let out a deep breath. The snuff rolled on his face and dissipated again. Although the thing he just begged for mercy was a bit embarrassing for a master, it was a good thing that Jack was safe now. He should

I wouldn't be so depressed. It's just...

Tom never smoked near Jack, and he smoked a whole cigarette today. Jack stared at him blankly. Sometimes the smoke rushed towards him like a winding ancient dragon, sometimes like a rolling auspicious cloud, and sometimes it was like a tumbling auspicious cloud.

Comes like a funny face.

"Jack, do you know where you went wrong?" Old Tom asked slowly. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip without making any sound. He pointed with his finger to let him drink the juice. "I know, you shouldn't bump into Her Majesty.

"Jack also coughed dryly and cleared his throat.

"No! Think again!" Old Tom said hello. The boss smiled and ran over vigorously. Jack also followed him to look in his direction. The boss was short and looked a bit funny when he ran.

"I shouldn't not have paid attention to those people. If I had noticed those people who were already alert, I guess I would have prevented what happened today." Jack looked at the juice with some regret and drank it.

.

"No, think again!" Old Tom called to the boss and left. He ordered two dishes, both of which were meat dishes. This is rare in normal times. Old Tom has always been frugal and does not eat meat, but only chooses vegetables and fruits.

, Jack was also a little strange, but he didn't have time to care about it, and was still scratching his head and thinking about why. He just accidentally contradicted the princess today, and was scolded by Captain Kraft. If he hadn't paid attention, he would have been more careful.
To be continued...
