The captain of the guards knocked on the side of the carriage. However, before he could urge the people inside to get out, Celia and Gut opened the door curtain and walked out of the carriage on their own initiative.
In an instant, several undisguised gazes came from all directions, staring at the two of them.
Faced with such a situation, Celie frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.
But after all, it is the duty of these guards to check the passengers passing through.
In addition, this place was the front line of the battle against the demons, so even though she was unhappy, Celie did not lose her temper.
but.
Why are these guards' inspections both rigorous and careless?
They are rigorous because their review process does not miss any details in the car.
Not only did the guards check the carriage from top to bottom, the captain of the guards even went into the carriage himself and leaned under the seat to take a look.
Extremely serious attitude.
They are said to be reckless because the depth of their review is extremely superficial.
Whether it was the honest coachman or the extremely rare elf, Celia, the guards neither asked for their names nor checked their identity documents.
Even when interrogating Celia, the guards instantly ended the interrogation process after seeing her prominent elven features.
On the contrary, it was Gut among the three who was treated most seriously by the guards.
Not only did they stare at Gut's appearance for a long time, they even took the initiative to check Gut's identity documents.
Through the certificate issued by the [Continental Magicians Association], the guards learned that the young man being interrogated was actually a senior magician.
In an instant, the guards treated Gut with much more respect, but they still made a request, hoping that Gut could cast a magic spell to prove his identity.
"Ok?"
Gu Te held his forehead and complained helplessly, "One by one, why is it like this every time I enter the city?"
After saying that, he waved his hand towards the sky and cast a basic [Fireball Magic].
Although the damage is not high, it is enough to prove your identity.
Seeing this, the captain of the guards placed one hand on his chest, bowed to Gut, and apologized to them for any rude behavior he and his team might have had during the inspection.
After saluting, the sergeant turned around and waved to the back, signaling to let them pass.
Seeing this, Celiai and Gut also returned to the carriage.
"Teacher, it seems that the identification certificate issued by the association is not very useful."
Celie glanced at her disciple and replied helplessly, "After all, the [Continental Magic Association] is still a new organization, and its influence in the northern countries cannot yet compare to that of the [Imperial Capital Magic Academy]."
"But it won't take long." Celie leaned back on the sofa in the car, her casual sitting posture revealing a pair of extremely confident eyes.
"As long as the association's branches are gradually expanded and maintained for a period of time, its influence will soon surpass that of other magic management organizations."
"And the identity certificate issued by the [Continental Magicians] Association will also become a universal identity document across the continent."
Listening to the teacher's aspirations, Gu Te nodded in response.
"There will come a day."
As they were talking, the carriage had already entered the city.
Looking out the car window at the city gate that was getting farther and farther away from him, Gut withdrew his gaze and said to the teacher opposite.
"Teacher, do you feel that the behavior of the guards outside the city is not right?"
"It's more like they're looking for someone than they are focusing on checking passengers coming in and out."
"Judging from the fact that they focused on examining me, the person they were looking for was most likely a young male who was likely similar to me in height and physique."
Gut stated his analysis step by step, but the teacher's face was calm without a trace of fluctuation.
After the disciple finished reasoning, Celie pointed in a direction inside the city and said.
"No need to go through all that troublesome reasoning. There are notices posted in the city."
"what?"
Gut was stunned, and quickly stood up and came to the teacher. After sitting next to Celia, he rubbed against her first, and then looked at the scene in the city through the car window.
Sure enough, in the direction of the teacher, you can see a notice posted in the city.
With Gut's current eyesight, he could vaguely read the words on it.
Dear citizens/adventurers:
[Recently, Milo Alden, the second son of the Alden family, disappeared in the city.]
[Mr. Milo was well-educated and gentle. His description at the time of his disappearance was as follows:]
If any citizen or adventurer can find the whereabouts of the young master and provide effective clues, they will be rewarded with the friendship of the Olden family and 10 Heulander gold coins. If they can bring the young master back safely, the family is willing to pay an additional 30 Heulander gold coins.
"I see." Gut nodded slightly.
His previous reasoning was not wrong. The guards were indeed looking for someone, and they were looking for the city lord's second son. No wonder they were all so concerned.
If he really found it, not only would he be able to get 40 Hetral gold coins, but he would also leave an impression on the city lord, and his future promotion path would probably become extremely smooth.
"Teacher, 40 gold coins, this noble young man is really worth a lot of money."
"Ordinary people probably won't be able to earn this much in several lifetimes."
Celia raised her eyes and replied to her disciple.
"This price is on the high side. The bounty for missing persons of ordinary nobles isn't that high, probably only around ten or twenty gold coins."
"The missing nobleman's name is Milo Alden."
"The name Milo, in religious texts, signifies peace and tranquility, expressing a parent's hope for a peaceful and smooth life for their child, free from conflict. Having this name likely means a child is highly favored in the family."
"But the Olden family is one of the three great knight families of the northern kingdoms. Their homeland is in the 'Warrior Land' of the central kingdoms. For generations, they have believed in the theory that 'there is no place for the weak.'"
"This missing person reward is most likely not the idea of the current head of the Alden family. It's probably the initiative of the noble son's mother."
"To be able to win over her husband, the current city lord, and offer such a huge sum of money, the mother of this noble young man is most likely a daughter of an aristocratic family who married into a foreign country."
Celia's smooth inference stunned Gut who was standing beside her.
Chapter 35 Teacher, is there reproductive isolation between you and me?
After a moment of silence, Gut said seriously, "Teacher, your reasoning ability is really strong."
Unexpectedly, facing the flattery of her disciples, Celie shook her head.
"It's not that my reasoning ability is strong, it's just that I've seen a lot."
"Also, don't even think about getting the bounty. Getting involved in a matter like this involving the nobility is incredibly troublesome."
"You're likely to face more than just the bounty itself."
When Celie said this, a hint of displeasure appeared on her face, as if she was recalling some bad memories.
"Okay, teacher."
Gut nodded in agreement. After all, their goal was to rush to the Holy City - Xutralu as soon as possible. Such a "side quest" was obviously not suitable to be taken on now.
When the carriage stopped at the door of an inn, Gut got off the carriage first and reached out to Celia who was still in the carriage, wanting to help the teacher get off the carriage like a gentleman.
Celia glanced at her disciple, but as he wished, she placed her hand on Gut's outstretched hand and was helped down from the carriage.
The coachman said hello to his two employers and said he would leave first. Since there were not many hotels in the city with stables, he needed to find a stable that could provide feeding and rest for the horses.
Gut nodded in agreement, and after agreeing with the coachman on the time and place to meet tomorrow, he watched him leave.
After watching the carriage go away, Gut and his teacher walked towards the hotel together, intending to solve the problem of tonight's accommodation first.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the steps of the hotel, a troubled housewife caught Gut's attention.
Leaving the teacher behind for a while, Gut walked quickly towards the young and beautiful married woman, and then directly grabbed the stroller of the married woman.
"Hello, ma'am, would you like to go up?"
"what?"
When a stranger approached her, the lady subconsciously took a few steps back, but when she saw Gut's sincere eyes, her fear disappeared for a moment and she answered.
"Yes, my husband temporarily separated from me because of something."
"But the baby suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. I didn't know if she was hungry or wanted to sleep, so I thought of taking her back to the hotel to rest."
"It's just that this cart is too heavy. I can't lift it up by myself. If I carry the baby up first, I won't be able to get down for a while, and there's no one to watch the cart."
The lady said with some confusion.
"It's okay, let me do it."
After getting the wife's consent, Gut held the stroller tightly with both hands and carried the baby up very steadily.
In front of the hotel, the lady looked at the baby in the stroller who was not crying or making a fuss, and expressed her sincere gratitude to Gut.
When he saw Celia following Gut, he even mistook their relationship for a moment.
And Celie didn't mind. After the lady left, she patted Gut on the back and gave her disciple a gesture of appreciation.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded in Gut's ears.
【Ding! 】
[Daily Task: Do one good deed a day has been completed]
The sudden prompt sound from the system made Gut stunned for a moment.
After realizing what was happening, Gut smiled and shook his head, then checked in with the teacher.
How to say it, the power of habit is really scary.
He has been doing more and more tasks of "Do one good deed a day" and helping those in need to the best of his ability. This seems to have gradually become a habit of Gut.
When I was helping the lady lift the stroller, I didn't even think about the task of "Doing One Good Deed a Day".
But perhaps this kind of forgetfulness is not bad.
I am not a saint who cannot distinguish right from wrong, nor am I a wicked person who is so evil that he is oozing with pus.
Doing good deeds will still make you feel happy, and you will not only get system rewards, but also gain a good reputation.
