-------------------------------------

I had originally planned to write for a while on the way to the hospital.

But I just got my driver's license yesterday, and my dad asked me to drive today.

The first time I drove, I drove for nearly two hours straight, and I was so focused that my brain is about to explode.

Also, because my computer is already packed in my suitcase (I have to go to the hospital to visit my grandma today and go back to school tomorrow night, so I just packed it away), it’s not very convenient to type.

Therefore, there may be some problems with the quality and quantity of the updates in the past two days. The author will revise and publish them again after returning to school.

Chapter 28: A man lives by his face, a tree lives by its bark

Although Old Jed had a lot of messy thoughts in his mind, at least on the surface, he had to pretend to be serious.

He straightened his expression a bit, then said, "Alright, stop arguing and go get ready."

"..."

Looking at Murphy who was still standing there motionless, Old Jed was stunned: "Why are you still standing there?"

Murphy opened her mouth, but the words got stuck in her throat.

But in the end, he still chose to explain to his forgetful master.

He chose his words carefully: "I have nothing to wear."

The clothes that Murphy was referring to were actually the nightgown that Sharon was wearing.

He certainly didn't, although as Old Jed's only apprentice, he deserved to have a piece of clothing of his own.

But during the first "team building" activity, he rejected the invitation of the group of mice.

So the mice didn't give him the clothes.

Old Jed had a somewhat bewildered expression on his face.

It was not until he noticed Murphy's gaze towards Sharon that he realized what Murphy meant by the strange words she had just said.

He sighed silently, a helpless expression on his face, then turned his head to Sharon: "Go get him a new one."

"Okay Master."

Sharon nodded to Old Jed, then turned and left the backyard.

She came back with the clothes soon. During this time, Murphy and Old Jed didn't say anything important, just chatted casually.

Murphy took the clothes that Sharon handed to her, unfolded them, and held them in front of her to compare them.

Surprisingly suitable.

"This one is made according to your size, Brother Murphy, so you don't have to try it on."

There was a proud and confident voice in her ears, but Murphy felt confused: "Why do you know my size?"

"Forehead......"

Sharon was stunned by the question. Of course, she couldn't tell Murphy that she had already put away the dress that he had rejected.

Fortunately, before Murphy continued to ask questions, Old Jed spoke up to help Sharon out of the predicament: "Okay, kid, stop talking nonsense."

He looked up at the sky and after noticing that the sun had begun to set, he continued speaking to Murphy.

"It's getting late, go get ready, after all you have to go at nightfall."

"it is good."

Although it might be easier to wait until late at night, what Murphy wanted was not ease, but more difficult training.

That's why Old Jed asked him to go just after nightfall. At that time, the guarding knights and servants in the castle were still asleep, which would greatly increase the difficulty of the mission.

Murphy nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but something else he just remembered made him stop.

"Just me?"

"What else? I still have to take you in, right?"

Old Jed was so angry at his words that he almost wanted to laugh.

"Oh no, that's not what I meant."

Murphy waved at Old Jed and continued.

"Don't you want to go and take a look? After all, this is your apprentice's first time working."

A mocking smile appeared on Old Jed's face: "What? Are you scared? If you are scared, then don't go."

After hearing what he said, Murphy didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and shook her head.

Sharon on the side seemed to want to say something. Her throat moved a few times, but in the end no sound came out.

"Then Master, and Sharon, I'll be leaving first."

"Goodbye, Brother Murphy."

Looking at Murphy's back as he turned and left, Sharon responded to his goodbye, but old Jed just waved at him without saying anything.

After Murphy left, Sharon and Old Jed remained in the backyard.

They made no movement and no words.

After a while, Sharon couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you really not going to go over and take a look tonight?"

"What's the point of going? Does that mean I have to feed him from now on?"

Seeing the unhappy expression on her master's face, Sharon didn't dare to say anything.

However, just as she was thinking about how to help Murphy, Old Jed spoke again.

"Go keep an eye on him."

Looking at Sharon's grateful look, Old Jed actually felt a little embarrassed.

But he is Old Jed after all, and he has been around for so long that he has mastered the art of controlling his facial expressions and tone of voice.

Old Jed looked at Sharon with a nonchalant expression on his face, and then said in a casual tone

"Humph, I'm afraid he'll break the rules of the underworld, so I won't take anything when I go there."

"Also, although he's much stronger than you right now, this is his first time doing this kind of work. He lacks experience, so there might be some problems."

"But you're not allowed to help him. No matter what problem he has, you're not allowed to help him. I told you to go over there to keep an eye on him. Do you understand?"

The more Old Jed talked, the happier Sharon laughed.

Because she knew that although what her master said were not very favorable to Murphy, what she would do at that time was still her own business.

She even had reason to suspect that her master had mentioned this matter specifically because he was afraid that she would forget it.

Old Jed began to feel annoyed as he watched the smile on Sharon's face grow wider and wider.

People live a face, and trees live a skin.

What's more, old Jed is a person who cares about face. In fact, he thinks that it doesn't matter even if Sharon sees his thoughts.

However, if she showed it in front of me, that would be a problem.

I am her master. Isn't this disrespectful to elders?

"Hey, yes, I am her master."

Thinking of this, Old Jed also smiled at Sharon.

"How come your current strength is so much inferior to that boy? Wasn't he unable to beat you before?"

"Have you been slacking off lately? Let's start extra training tomorrow."

"Well... Anyway, I have nothing to do these two days, so I'll help you when the time comes."

Sharon didn't react at first because it had been a long time since Old Jed had personally trained either of them.

But when she came to her senses, her face fell as she looked at the smirking Old Jed.

Because that was the extra training conducted by Old Jed himself, which was completely different from the extra training conducted by Murphy.

Although Brother Mephisto often affects his own practice, it is still within a reasonable range after all.

But old Jed...

Thinking of this, Sharon couldn't help but let out a wail of pain.

"Master, you are seeking revenge for your personal gain!"

-------------------------------------

In the evening, when the sun has just sunk below the horizon and there is still some afterglow in the sky.

In the West City District, on the city lord's fortress of Dickens Webb, a furtive figure was clinging to it.

Her movements were very light and her body looked very slender and soft.

That wasn't Murphy, it was Sharon.

Chapter 29 The City He Loves Deeply

Although she is on a mission now, Sharon is not wearing a nightgown, but normal clothes.

After all, it wasn't completely dark yet, and the pure black dress would make her look more conspicuous.

Just wait until it's completely dark and then put on your night clothes.

However, the "normal" clothes she was wearing now did not refer to the ordinary solid-colored coat that she liked to wear in her daily life, but a gorgeous dress that looked somewhat expensive.

Although the clothes look luxurious, they will greatly affect her movements.

After all, it seems stupid to move around in this kind of clothes.

But it’s not a good idea not to wear it, after all, this is the western district of the border town of Lars - the aristocratic district.

If the clothes on his body didn't look expensive enough, they might have been taken away by the patrolling knights as soon as he entered here.

However, since she has reached her destination now, it means that the problem is not serious.

After all, for the mice, coming to the western city of Lars is like returning home.

Only Murphy, the odd one out, has never been here.

"Can you find it, Murphy? It should be no problem..."

Although there are many big houses in the West City District, the city lord’s fortress is still the pride of the entire Lars.

So the largest building in the entire Xicheng District is actually the city lord’s fortress. Of course, it is still not as big as the church.

Sharon was asked by Old Jed to come here during the day to keep an eye on her brother Murphy.

However, the worry in her heart made her come here early.

-------------------------------------

The sky has become completely dark.

Murphy, wearing the black clothes Sharon brought him, lurked in the shadows of this bustling world.

At this moment, Xicheng District has changed its appearance compared to the daytime.

The entire West City District was brightly lit, and the magic lights on the roadside illuminated the road clearly.

The streets were filled with the laughter and chatter of noble young men and women, completely different from the complete silence of Dongcheng District once dark.

Murphy hid in the shadows, watching them immersed in happiness and feeling the disparity in the world.

He sighed, blocked out the sounds in his ears, and focused on moving forward.

Although Murphy had never been here before, his target this time - the city lord's fortress - was not difficult to recognize because it was the tallest building here.
