Rob scratched his head. Hmm, wasn't he a little too cruel just now? It was Loyce who told him about Caesar's background. The secret of the young master of the Andrea family wasn't cheap, costing him 20 gold coins. However, the information about the female archer was still worth it as always.
Archmage was also quite surprised when he got the information. He didn't expect that the seemingly glorious young master Andrea actually had such a hard life. Caesar's father was only a side branch of the Andrea family, and only his grandfather was a knight in his mother's family, which belonged to the lowest level of nobility. No wonder he would choose a commoner girl as his wife. Even if he was born in the Andrea family, it would be very difficult for him to marry into a powerful noble family unless he truly became a senior magician one day. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be at least 30 or 40 years old by then.
At that time, with this guy's ruthless character, he would most likely divorce his commoner wife who had accompanied him for more than 10 years and marry a wife who could provide him with resources and a title to help him compete for the position of the head of the family. This way, he could not only enjoy love when he was young, but also obtain enough help when he was middle-aged to compete for the position of the head of the family. Loyce's evaluation of him wasn't wrong. He really was a cold and rational guy.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong target this time.
Even without Rob as a competitor, he still wouldn't be able to conquer the head of the Bretton family.
Caesar's little tricks might be effective on those commoner girls who hadn't seen the world, but it would only have the opposite effect when used on Lolo. Not long ago, the girl had already submitted an application to the student union to withdraw from the union. However, the head of the disciplinary department, Jessica, had been on vacation recently and hadn't approved Lolo's application for the time being. In addition, the girl had also handed in her Meteor II oak staff in exchange for an ordinary second-hand staff. Archmage reckoned that these two matters should be related to the young master of the Andrea family.
The latter also seemed to be in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to his bakery after hearing those rumors.
Unfortunately, Caesar didn't know who he was facing at all.
Using a house worth three thousand gold coins to send away a future Supreme Magus, Your Honor. If this joke were to spread to the Lionheart Empire, it would probably be enough to make the nobles laugh for half a year.
Rob shook his head, not taking Caesar's words to heart. The only one in Siamus that he truly felt troublesome to deal with was the mysterious Secret Guardian. He had already suffered twice at the hands of the other party, but he hadn't even caught a glimpse of the guy's shadow so far. Strictly speaking, the young master of the Andrea family was even inferior to Masked Man No. 2 whom he had rescued from the lake that night.
The Archmage also noticed that the guys from the Inquisition had been quiet for a long time. It had been nine months since he killed the four Retribution Paladins in Ryan 'tavern.
According to Archmage's estimation, the temple should have tracked their tracks by now. It was very likely that they had already sent another squad, but he didn't know if they had already arrived in Gudilesi. If they were already in the city, why hadn't they made a move yet? Could it be that they were plotting something?
Archmage was now aware of the disadvantage on his side. He and Lolo were complete outsiders in Gudilesi and didn't know much about the local forces. They had no friends among the local nobles or the underground world. Rob's current source of information was basically through Lois. On this point, he couldn't even compare to Caesar who had the support of his family.
Although Archmage had been cooperating happily with the female archer, he still couldn't completely trust her. Since Lois could sell Caesar's information to him, he could naturally sell his information to others. Rob was very clear about this, so he would also release some shady jobs, but he would never reveal the real secret to others.
However, in this way, there were a lot of things that he couldn't solve. For example, if he had the help of the local forces when he bought this small building, he probably wouldn't have to show up in person. The fox masked man had just lost Blackie's body, and he just happened to have the money to buy a house. The other party would definitely suspect him. Your Honor, the future supreme magus, didn't think of this, but this was the trouble of not having any forces and friends. He had to do many things by himself, and it was inevitable that he would leave traces. Fortunately, Rob had always been very cautious and would not leave any evidence that would directly expose his identity. At most, the opponent would only suspect him.
The fox masked man was now suspicious. He listened to Lois introducing the basic information about Rob while eating snacks. This information was collected by the female archer not long ago, including his appearance in Ryan and his adventure with Lolo in the underground city.
"… Anyway, that's all the information about him. Well, it's certain that he did grow up in Ryan. His father was an adventurer that could be seen everywhere, and his mother was the daughter of a hunter. From the time they met to the time they fell in love and got married, they were no different from ordinary people. After they got married, they opened a small grocery store in the town, and their income was only enough to keep themselves warm. When he was six years old, his mother passed away unexpectedly, and his relationship with his father became very bad. He chose to leave home when he was eight years old, and then he returned to his hometown when he was eighteen years old. Almost all the old people in the town can testify to this. Teacher, does this information remind you of anything?"
The fox masked man was not in a hurry to answer. He tore open a bag of biscuits and handed it to his female apprentice. "Come on, try it. Elf biscuits. The taste is absolutely authentic. It's exactly the same as the one I ate in Rapunzel Harbor. It's unique in Gudilesi. I queued for a long time this afternoon to buy it."
Louisa was taken aback. "Eh, his bakery is opening today. Are you going too, teacher?"
"Of course, my nose is very sensitive. Wherever there is delicious food in Gudilesi City, I can be seen." The fox masked man put his hands on his hips and looked very proud. "And I also went to see him."
"Oh, did you find anything?" Lois's eyes lit up. She knew that her teacher had always been very accurate in judging people, and he rarely went to see a person, which meant that this guy named Rob had attracted his attention.
The fox masked man stretched out two fingers. "There are two possibilities. Either he really has no talent for magic, or his talent is so strong that even I can't see through him. In fact, the man with the golden staff by the lake that night reminded me of a person."
"Who?" The female archer asked curiously.
"Rob."
Lois was a little surprised. "You mean he's the guy with the golden staff?"
