before he was crowned king

"Resanna, get me a glass of iced ale at the tavern now!" The man shouted loudly as the sound of knocking came from the hot forge.

"Can you wait a while, I'm making sweet pancakes! Can't you drink it later!" Resana shouted back, holding the dough in her hand.

"Damn it! Why sweet pancakes? Is it because the kid ate a few more pieces yesterday?" Old Love complained, "It's really unreasonable. Now that there are more mouths in the house, I can't even eat pretzel-flavored pancakes." The God of Light can't stand this kind of thing!"

"Okay, okay, father! Don't say it! I can do sweet, salt and pepper, is this okay?" Resana responded with a sigh.

"No, I want ice ale!" Old Love's voice sounded like thunder in the forge, "I can't make a good sword without ice ale! Hurry up!"

"Then I have to wait until I make lunch!" Resana sighed, patted the powder on her hands, and was about to put down her work.

She knew that her father had a fiery temper, and once he became self-willed, there was really nothing he could do.

"I'll go." A voice sounded.

"Xion? Are you feeling better?" Renasa asked the blond young man in front of her.

"Well, I'm almost fine." Sean nodded, indicating that he was fine, took the money for the wine from Lei Shana, and left the thatched cottage.

The warm sunshine fell on this small town, and the villagers came and went, and they were all busy with their own affairs in order to make a living.

This is Sean's third day in Saiqi Town, and he already has a certain understanding of this small village.

The only tavern in the town opened at the southernmost end of the street, not too far from Resana's house, and the wooden house full of barrels could be found soon after walking around two blocks.

Stepping up the stone steps of the tavern, when Sean came in, there were already several idle young people sitting at the wooden tables enjoying their drinks.

"Good luck." Sean walked towards the woman who was wiping the table and chairs.

"Oh," the woman raised her head and looked surprised when she saw Sean's face, "What do you need?"

"I'd like an iced ale," Sean said.

"A can full?"

"Yes."

"Okay, no problem, I'll get it for you."

The ice ale had to be fetched from the ice cellar, and as Sean stood there waiting, he heard heated arguments.

"Brother, you dare to insult Princess Tixifeng, you must be drunk!"

"When did Saint Via become a country controlled by women? The old king died, and we ushered in the era of Queen Karina. But now there are still three princes in the royal family? Why is the firearms battalion of Saint Via still in control? In the hands of this woman!"

"Wake up, brother, Princess Tisifeng is a high-level magician. She has made great achievements in the battle against the orcs. She has this strength!"

"Shit, even that 'milk princess' is way better than her in my opinion!"

"Please, shut up, stupid pig, you are such a bastard, Princess Tisifeng can crush you to death by raising her finger!"

……

"Your ice ale." At this time, the woman came over and put the jug on Sean's table.

"Thank you." Sean put the two copper coins on the table.

"Oh, no, you are not from Saiqi Town." The woman asked curiously.

"Indeed." Sean nodded.

"No wonder, I've been running a tavern here for more than ten years, and I've never seen a handsome face like yours." The woman smiled and patted Sean on the shoulder, "My name is Miley, and I'm from this tavern. The proprietress. This cold ale is my treat, lad."

"It's not very good—" Sean was taken aback for a moment, he had never been invited to drink by a woman before.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a glass of wine." Miley waved her hand, as if she heard the voice from the back table, she frowned, "Listen, these boring young people are starting to talk in plain language again."

"It's because women are in power, and now the capital is in chaos. The queen supports her, but let's see who among the nobles supports her."

"Our lord, Baron Roy, is a staunch imperialist faction. If he hears your words, he will definitely put a sword in your ass|hole!"

"You bastard—!"

Seeing that several people were about to make a move, Miley hurried to the middle and separated them.

Sean put the copper coins on the table, looked at the chaos in front of him, and left the tavern silently.

These people are really boring.Sean has no interest in who will be in power, whether it is the prince or the princess, there is no difference in essence.Every decision they make is only to protect the people behind their own interests.

"What are you doing? You won't plan to stay here safely, right?" A black cat came out of nowhere and rushed to Sean's feet.

"As you can see, I'm running errands to buy wine." Sean said leisurely.

"Of course I know you're running errands, that's why I'm asking you. Don't you remember our deal?"

"I remember," Shinn said after a pause, "I was planning."

"Your plan is to help buy wine and strike up a conversation with women?" Herrell's tone was a little mocking.

Sean sighed inaudibly, he stopped, and looked into those rosy eyes, "I tried it last night, and found that this body still can't sense any element of natural magic."

"That's a matter of course." The black cat snorted coldly, "What do you think magic is, a kind of rural handicraft? Practice makes perfect?"

"If I can't master magic, what I can do will be very limited. Saint Via's imperial power and divine power are closely related. If you set your goal as the God of Light, it means that in the future I will stand with the Holy See of Light and Saint Via The opposite of the sub-royal family, this is not something that one person can do." Sean explained seriously, "Helaire, I hope you can give me some time."

"This transaction is really difficult." The black cat was silent for a moment, then looked away, "I don't lack time, ten years, decades, hundreds of years are all moments to me. I just remind you, As a human being, your time is short."

"Well, I know." Sean's expression slowed down a bit, "I will return to the capital when I am ready."

"Why don't you go now?" Helle asked.

"Helaire, if you can give me a map, a horse and enough travel expenses, I am willing to go on the road now." Sean's face was a little helpless.

Herrera's face froze, and she didn't speak anymore.

There was a barking sound of dogs ahead, and a figure ran towards Sean quickly.

"Damn! That stupid dog!"

Before Sean could react, the black cat had already jumped onto his shoulder.

"Are you afraid of dogs?" Sean looked up at the black cat's ruffled fur.

"How is it possible? I just despise it! Yesterday it wanted to come over and lick my tail?!" Herrell lowered his head and looked at the dirt dog that kept pounced on Sean's lap.

"Little Paul, stop messing around! Come and eat!" Resana shouted standing by the door.

Hearing the master's call, little Paul quickly ran back.

"Thank you so much, Sean." Resana turned her head and shouted, "Father, Sean bought the ice ale for you."

"Hmph, he's still useful." A cold snort came from the forge.

"Sorry, Sean, that's my father's temper." Reshana looked a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm the one who caused you trouble." Sean naturally didn't take Old Love's behavior seriously. "In the afternoon, I will try to find a job in the village."

"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. Let's eat first."

There are three people in Lei Shana's family. Apart from Old Love, the blacksmith, Lei Shana also has a younger brother named Mo Mo.But until now, Sean has not seen this mysterious boy.

"Mo Mo's behavior is a bit weird, and he's not very obedient. Because of his naughtiness, his father always beats him." When talking about this younger brother, Lei Shana's tone was also a little distressed.

After dinner, Sean was going to find a job in the village that could make money.The first thing he thought of was the work of pharmacy alchemy, but what he didn't expect was that there was no pharmacy in this small village at all.

"Would you like to come and see the good stuff here, young man." Sean was walking on the road when a voice stopped him.

It was an old man with white beard and wearing beggar's shoes with a stall.

Sean was penniless at this time, and he wanted to leave, but inadvertently, he saw a yellowed parchment scroll on the stall.

"This is a map?" Sean squatted down, his eyes quickly scanning the line drawn on it.

Who would have thought that he only glanced at it twice before the old man closed the map.

"A silver coin," said the old man, blowing his beard.

"A silver coin?" Sean stood up and looked at the old man.

"That's right, this map requires a silver coin. You just saw it, and you have to pay for it."

"Do you mean to buy it at a glance?" Sean asked lightly.

"Of course. The map here is a very precious thing." The old man raised his hand and shook it towards Sean. "It can save you a lot of detours."

"Indeed, but I don't think your map is worth a silver coin."

"Why do you say that?"

"Your map stopped abruptly at the Xu Maya Mountains, and the most important thing is that even the location of the city of San Via is wrong." Sean looked at the old man and said calmly, "If you are willing to give me a map Map, plus thirty silver coins, I can help you draw a more detailed one."

"Who are you? I haven't seen you in Saiqi Town!" The old man's cloudy eyes were full of light, "Are you a refugee who sneaked in from the south? Huh! Give me ten silver coins, plus help me draw map, or I'll call the guards to catch you!"

Seeing the proud look of the old man grasping the handle, Sean was slightly taken aback, and then the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Do you want me to shout for you? See if it's me or you who was taken away in the end."
