Kenneth fell silent. Indeed, no matter if it was Ryan or any other place, the laws were only made for free people. As for special existences like slaves, they would only be restricted by the law and not protected by it. From this point of view, no matter what the Fatso Merchant wanted to do to the waitress, the Guard Captain had no reason to stop him.
"You have to be gentle to girls. Don't forget what kind of people are in your tavern. When the time comes, there might be some unnecessary trouble," Luo Bu, who was at the side, said indifferently.
The Fatso Merchant's expression changed. He knew what Rob meant. Most of the customers in the Adventurer's Heart were mercenaries. They were a group of hot-blooded and nosy fellows. They were also a group of desperadoes. They wouldn't care about the Slave Act like knights. If they saw a cute girl being bullied, they would do anything in a moment of hot-bloodedness.
"Hmph, those fellows?" The panic on the Fatso Merchant's face only lasted for a moment before he returned to normal. A trace of disdain flashed across his small eyes.
"Hmm, you look very confident. Let me see what you're relying on," the young man said as he scanned the tavern. As the youth spoke, he scanned the tavern. His gaze finally landed on a drunken old adventurer by the bar counter. Luo Bu smirked. "Just by relying on a Grade 2 Magician? Hehe, his magic power isn't enough to slaughter everyone in this room. "
As soon as the young man finished speaking, the old Magician who was called out sat up with a thud. The drunkenness on his face had long disappeared and was replaced with a horrified expression.
"You, how did you find out?" The Fatso Merchant was really shocked this time.
Rob ignored him and turned to the old Magician with a serious face. "Who is your teacher? How did he teach you? You can't even control the magical elements around you properly. You're only a Grade 2 Magician, but you're already on the verge of losing control of the elements. If this continues, your magic power won't be far from going berserk. "
At that moment, the aura that the youth emitted made the old mage think that his teacher had come back to life. No, it should be said that even his teacher did not have such a powerful aura.
"My teacher passed away when I was young, and he only left me a magic book. I had to figure out the rest by myself." As he spoke, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His eyes shone brightly, and he even unconsciously used honorifics. "Wait, you mean you can solve the problem of my body?"
Even Steins was impressed by Rob's keen foresight. With just a glance, the youth pointed out the old mage's current predicament. The latter was now looking up at him as if he was looking at God. Beside him, Kenneth and the fat owner were dumbstruck as well, their faces uncontrollably revealing an expression of incomprehension and awe.
Oh no! It seemed like he had accidentally said too much. It was because Rob could see that the old mage's problem was too serious that he could not help but point it out. If he continued to speak, it would be too suspicious. The young man hurriedly waved his hand. "Don't ask me, I'm not a mage."
After a pause, he saw the disappointment on the old mage's face. He could not bear to see him, so he added, "I heard that the teachers in the Academy of Magic are very experienced in dealing with the problem of losing control of the elements. You should ask them."
The old mage smiled bitterly. "Of course I know about this, but those high-level mages usually live in their own magic towers. If you want to meet them, you have to enroll in the academy. No matter which academy it is, the tuition fees are linked to one's aptitude. With my aptitude, I need a lot of money."
Merchant Fatso suddenly understood. "No wonder you're willing to work for me. I was wondering when mages became so easy to talk to. They can be bought with money." He waved his hand. "Owen, don't say anything else. Just tell me directly how much money you're still lacking."
"Zac." The old mage's eyes were moist.
"Other than money, I can't help you with anything else. Anyway, in the eyes of most people, I'm just a greedy nouveau riche." Zac laughed at himself. "Just treat it as my investment for the future. To me, a living second-grade mage is always more valuable than a dead one."
"Don't say that, Zac. Others may not know what kind of person you are, but do you think I don't? You always pretend to be cold on the surface, but in fact, you do it to hide the kindness in your heart. Everyone only sees you buying these girls, but they don't know that if it were not for you, they would have been sold to a brothel. What awaits them would be a more tragic fate."
"Hmph, that group of stupid girls needs to be disciplined … I-I'll definitely teach them a lesson in the future." Zac muttered with a red face.
The old mage's gaze became even gentler. "Really, you're saying something like this again. Ever since you bought them, you've always said that, but when have you actually done anything to them?"
"Uh … I'm sorry to interrupt. Is it really okay for the two of you to flaunt your love in front of so many people? My friend and I have something to do, so we'll take our leave first. "As soon as Rob finished speaking, he dragged the dumbfounded Guard Captain out of the door.
"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute." Merchant Fatso hurriedly spoke again. "What happened before was a misunderstanding. I just wanted to see what kind of person could recognize the Poem of the Holy Night." He took out two silver cards from his pocket. "Let's be friends. Since you don't like the free stuff, how about a 20% discount? I'm still making money anyway. Just treat it as helping my business."
Kenneth shook his head. "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't usually drink, and I don't know anything about the Poem of the Holy Night."
It seemed like what he said was true. Merchant Fatso just wanted to make a drinking buddy. Seeing that the Guard Captain was not interested, he did not force the issue. Instead, he turned around and looked at the young man.
Rob was afraid that the guy would continue to pester him. In fact, the drama between Zac and the old mage had attracted a lot of attention. The young man was now in a delicate situation, and he wanted to keep a low profile. So, he snatched the cards from Merchant Fatso's hand and said impatiently, "Are you satisfied now? Can we go?"
"Of course, of course. I'm looking forward to our next meeting." Zac smiled.
"You'd better not look forward to it too much. There might not even be a next time." The young man said before he left.
Perhaps it was because he received too much information in such a short period of time. After leaving the Adventurer's Heart Tavern, it took a while for Kenneth to regain his senses. The Guard Captain's first question to Rob was, "You were amazing just now, but how did you know about things like losing control of elements and mana?"
