Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

On the morning of October 967, 10 Imperial Calendar, the Colosseum's convoy finally arrived in Drage.

Xie Wei led his horse and followed the other adventurers in line, waiting for the guards to check. After waiting for a while, he suddenly found that the adventurers in front of him all took out a palm-sized scroll, while Mason behind him put a bronze badge on the collar of his wizard robe.

Two minutes later, Xie Wei led his horse away from the long line in front of the city gate, and Mason followed him to an open space not far away.

"You don't have an adventurer's pass?" Mason looked up and down at the young magician he had just met. He found that this young man not only looked similar to Cyril, but also had the same lack of common sense as Cyril.

"...Yeah." Xie Wei nodded. He really didn't know that to enter a large city like Draje, one needed a pass stamped by various guilds.

Dagambie is the spirit of the ancestor of the Parasau people who died a thousand years ago. He also doesn't know that at this time in the Lar continent, traveling to large towns in various countries requires a pass issued by the corresponding guild.

"There are many magic circles set up on the walls of Drage. Large cities are different from small towns like Sunset City. If you don't have a pass, a family emblem that can prove your identity, or a document issued by your country, you can't get in at all."

Mason sighed. He realized that the confused magician standing opposite him was most likely an illegal immigrant.

Xie Wei, who had been an illegal resident before the age of 18 and now an illegal resident again, followed Mason to live in an inn in a village outside the city.

Many post stations have mission issuing offices set up by the Adventurer's Guild. As long as you are not a blacklister on the mainland's wanted list, you can spend some money to ask the person in charge of the mission office to issue a temporary pass.

"The temporary pass has been cancelled, didn't you know? If it is inconvenient for you to follow the normal process to join the Adventurer's Guild and get the pass, you can complete 20 tasks below level three within one year. After completing them, you can get a short-term junior adventurer pass." The staff of the Adventurer's Guild tied up the cloth bag full of magic crystals and handed it back to the magician standing in front of the counter.

"Apart from this, is there any other way to get a pass? We are a bit pressed for time." Mason took out a piece of rare monster material as big as an adult's palm from his storage ring.

After placing it on the counter, he pointed to the medal on his collar and said, "I'll use my permanent pass to guarantee him. Is that okay? If that doesn't work, I can also ask my partner to come over and guarantee him. He is Asher, the current chief of the Teila settlement."

Seeing this, Xie Wei pulled Mason's sleeve and was about to say something when Mason grabbed his wrist.

Mason pulled Xie Wei behind him, then turned around and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you. Just think of it as me wanting to repay you for saving my life. Without an Adventurer's Pass, you can't enter any large city. You have to take a long detour. You still have to go to many places, don't you?"

After saying this, without waiting for Xie Wei to respond, he turned around and continued to negotiate with the staff behind the counter.

"Shevi, Mason is right, you have a lot of places to go, and you should have an adventurer's pass." Dagambie reached out and poked Shevi's cheek.

Xie Wei nodded. Mason never asked him much about his personal affairs, but he told him a lot about himself.

For example, he has two adventurer friends, one is a swordsman named Cyril, and the other is a magician named Elodie. After they got married, they had children and opened an inn in Bellagia. They have not been adventurers for many years.

The friend he mentioned who started studying slave contracts in the past two years is the magician named Elodi.

Xie Wei blinked his eyes and held back the inexplicable bitterness. Just as the dwarf Rogin said, his father and mother in this life really opened a hotel in Bellagia...

If, if Cyril is not the pseudonym of the eldest son of the Empire, Elias, and Elodie is not the pseudonym of the great magician Florence, and they are really just retired adventurers, then... my life should be very happy.

My brother said that his parents and he loved him very much and they were looking forward to his coming into this world.

Ever since Mason mentioned Bellagio, Xie Wei's heart has never been able to calm down.

In fact, after knowing that the world he was in now was a completely real past, he had been deliberately avoiding thinking about his parents in this life.

His father and mother are still alive.

But he didn't dare to look for them, didn't dare to meet them. He was afraid that he would want to tell them everything and want to change the predetermined fate, but in the end he would not be able to say anything and could not change anything.

Dagambie had never told him what the content of the secret trial was, but Xie Wei now knew that everything he saw and felt was a trial.

Mason used rare monster materials and his own adventurer medal to guarantee Xie Wei, helping Xie Wei obtain a short-term adventurer pass with a validity period of one year. After the one-year period expires, he will need to provide a second guarantee or complete 1 tasks below level three as required.

After getting the stamped pass scroll, Mason handed it to the little magician behind him. He found that the little magician's mood suddenly became depressed for some reason. He reached out and rubbed the little magician's fair cheek.

"You are so young, don't look so sad all the time."

Xie Wei let Mason rub his cheeks as if they were dough. Although the magician in front of him had a baby face, he was older than his parents. He was always very well-behaved in front of his elders, so he did not refute that he was not frowning all day long.

The double rooms in the inn were full, and there was only one single room left. Xie Wei and Mason rented this room. The bed in the room was big enough for both of them to sleep in.

After dinner, Mason and Shevi sat at the table and studied the slave contract for three hours, and discussed for another hour what magical herbs would be used in the banned potions given to the gladiators in the Colosseum. They didn't take a break until after eleven o'clock.

After Shevi lay down on the bed, he hugged Thrall's cloak and fell asleep in a short while. Luo Lai slept between Shevi and Mason, and Dagambie sat beside Shevi's pillow, holding his sword and keeping watch for her.

Covered with his duvet, Mason lay on his side on the bed with his eyes closed. When the clock on the wall pointed to zero, there was a slight sound from the window.

Mason got out of bed and opened the window quietly. As soon as he opened it, an arm stretched out from the window and hugged him out.

On the stone bridge behind the inn, Asher folded his gray and white wings, and then put down the magician in his arms.

"Are you still angry?" Asher draped the cloak in his hand over his partner's shoulders. His long gray hair was very messy and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Well, very angry. So I'm going to Bellagio to play with Cyril, Elodie and the others." Mason reached out to help Asher tidy up his hair. He said that he was still angry, but his hands' movements were skillful and gentle.

"Xiaomei, you've grown up. I know I shouldn't always control you, but Bellagio is too far away. You know, now I can't accompany you wherever you want to go like I used to." The gentle gray-haired man leaned over and hugged his lover.

He hatched Mason and raised him bit by bit. They have always been together and have never been apart for so long.

In the past two months, he thought a lot, but he still couldn't convince himself to let Mason go and do what he said he wanted to do.

"But I have already sent a letter to Elodie. I have already agreed with her to introduce her to a very talented child. I haven't seen her and Cyril for a long time."

Smelling the scent of Asher, Mason wanted to go home a little, but as Asher said, he had grown up, he had been an adult for a long time, and he couldn't always stick to Asher.

Asher had his own things to do;

He didn't want to stay in the settlement anymore. He wanted to learn and study more magic. Elodie said that the library of the First Magic Academy on the Lar Continent had the most complete collection of magic books on the Lar Continent. He wanted to go there...

"But didn't the child agree to go to Bellagio with you?"

"Ah! How did you know? Luo Lai, you little traitor!" Mason was furious.

"If he still doesn't want to go to Bellagio before November, I will come and take you home, okay? I can't leave you, Xiaomei." Asher lifted Mason's chin, his gentle and affectionate eyes filled with love.

"You're being unreasonable." Mason took Asher's hand away, not wanting to agree with him.

"Xiaomei, you said you would stay with me forever and would never be apart from me."

"But that was when I was 6 years old! I'm 75 now!"

"Can you break your promise at 75? It's really sad."

"Don't show that expression, as if I'm a heartless person!"

"Oh."

"Your look now means that I am a heartless person, right?"

"No."

"You have!"

……

When Xie Wei woke up at six in the morning, he did not see Mason in the room. Luo Lai was sleeping soundly in the duvet. He looked at Dagambie who was sitting on the pillow.

Dagumbi flew over to his ear and gossiped.

"Last night, Mason's partner came over, and the two quarreled all night. The man named Asher said that if you don't agree to go to Bellagio with Mason before the end of this month, he will force you to take Mason home."

If Asher heard what Dagambie said, he would definitely feel wronged. How could he dare to take Mason home by force?

If he did that, Mason would have plucked all the feathers out of his wings!
