"Sir, I have never seen him? Why do you say he is a friend?"

"Although I have never seen him, I have been in contact with him for a long time. I believe that if fate is not so harsh and we have the honor to be together, he and I will definitely be able to... be able to communicate with each other. Because I am sure that he and I are the same type of people."

Berel's tone made Robin feel a little curious. He turned the book a few pages and skimmed the last part. It was clearly stated that after a series of legendary great victories, Thomas was injured and eventually died. So he turned around and began to read some other records about Thomas in the book.

While he was flipping through the book, Beller began to pour a cup of tea for himself and began to enjoy the snacks.

"Thomas...is a general who has never been defeated in his life!"

"Yes, it's a pity that he is a Saint Gene... to us, it's a distant country... I heard that that country is very conservative, and the knights are even bound by the oath of honor, and cannot even take ordinary muskets, let alone fire muskets. There are no cannons in their army." Berel replied.

"Well, I've heard of this too..."

"So, it is amazing that he can defeat the Paro people - and defeat the Paro people with overwhelmingly unfavorable forces. Think about it, how keen eyes and calm judgment are needed to find the fleeting chance of victory on the battlefield. And the Paro people, no matter how bad they are, at least they send students to our Firearms Academy to learn the use of various gunpowder weapons every year. Their engineers also learned the casting technology of various cannons and muskets under the arrangement of the church..."

"Ah, that's right..." Robin suddenly realized something, " "General! You've pulled the topic apart again! What we're going to discuss is how to deal with that vampire in Sivania!"

"This question... can be discussed later..." Beller's face looked very similar to the student who cheated in exams but was caught by the teacher, but immediately, he changed the subject again. "What do you think of Tulan's Mede?"

"A great person...General, you're here again! We're discussing vampires!"

"Don't worry, don't worry... Robin, we don't have the position to go to Sivania at all!"

"No position? His Majesty the King did not give the order in person..."

"Robin, do you know where Sivania is? For us Tiberius, the so-called Sivania is just a Count's corpse, or even an "enclave" that is completely unbound to other countries. This territory brings us a limited income every year. It is completely lies to say that His Majesty the King will do his best to defend this territory."

"That's right, so you also got the position given by the Ryans..."

"The Ryans gave me a temporary governorship position in Mir City. On the surface, it seems to be somewhat related, but in fact, they obviously do not welcome us to Sivania. If the Ryans really want me to be responsible for solving this problem, then I should be given a position of full command and command, and then I will be given an army to command me, instead of letting me be the governor of Mir City who has nothing to do with Sivania. Even the word "temporary" must be added in front of the governor... Robin!"

"At this, sir."

"This snack is delicious, can you give me another serving?"

"General!" Robin shouted. "Please don't always change the subject!"

"I know I know... OK, I'm just kidding. But I must say, Robin, if you want to be a dim sum master, your future is much brighter than being a general. According to me, even if it's a royal chef..."

His words stopped because at this time a man dressed in a sheriff hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Governor!" The lower-level sheriff was sweating profusely, "There was a commotion in the city."

"Are those businessmen who are dissatisfied with the blockade of trade routes causing trouble?" A sharp gaze flashed in Beller's eyes.

"No, it's the casino in the city... it's the biggest 'Hope Casino'. Something happened inside. It seems that someone moved the guy, killing and injured more than a dozen people!"

"Where is your security team?" asked Beller.

"It is completely impossible to suppress it." The sheriff replied. "According to your order, I transferred most of my subordinates out of the city to search for illegal smuggling...so the city is short of staff, and now it is really..."

"I got it, Robin, go and call the soldiers. We have to deal with some trivial matters!"

When Beller came to the casino, it was too late. This was not his fault, because when he got the news, the fight at the casino had basically ended. The ground was covered with blood and various broken furniture, which fully demonstrated that the scale of the fight was quite large. But this was also normal. There were idle people in the casino who tried to rob by fire, so it seemed to be a big melee between hundreds of people on the surface, but in fact the fuse might be caused by a quarrel between two or three people.

Looking at the fully armed guards, the people in the casino dared not block the way, so they let Beller and Robin walk inside. The situation was much better than expected. There were no corpses on the ground, but there were several wounded men covered in blood but obviously not fatal. They were hummed and were carried out.

"What happened?" Berel asked the casino staff who looked like he was in charge.

"They cheat!" Several people standing aside, dressed in luxury and clean (you can tell at a glance that they didn't participate in the fight) shouted indignantly. "Governor, this casino can't get the chips back!"

So that's what happened, that is, something unexpected happened that caused the cash at the casino counter to not be enough to pay the chips the winner won - you can guess with your toes what kind of confusion this situation will cause.

"Sir, I'm sorry, we encountered someone who cheated on gambling." The manager gave a completely different explanation. "That's right, sir. Today we came here a few gambling scammers, which caused us to lose far more than the normal amount... Later, those scammers even took action, injured more than a dozen of us, and eventually led to this chaos..."

"Where are those liars?"

"Escaped from the city gate. Our boss has been informed, and he has taken people to chase him."

"What...oh..." Beller sighed in a voice that he could only hear.

"Sheriff, I'll leave it here for you. Check it out carefully, is there any cheating in the casino? Robin, let's go!"

"Where to go?" Robin was really confused.

"Out of the city," Beral replied. "Catch up. There was only one common commotion here, at most a fight, and nothing happened," he explained to Robin. "But there may be a murder case outside."

Facts proved that Beller's judgment was very correct. They were not far away from the city, and Robin saw the battle ahead.

The strength of this battle is very different. There are about 40 or 50 people on one side, each with weapons, more than half of them are wearing armor, while the other side has only two people, neither of them is wearing armor, one with a sword and a shield, and the other with two boxes. The man holding the sword and a shield is covering his unarmed companion huddled in the corner of a clump of huge rocks. They have two horses around them, but there is no room for horses at this time.

But to be honest, the one who really has the advantage in the battle is the side with fewer people. Robin could see that although the side with many people seems to be crowded and has formed an arc-shaped encirclement, it was completely suppressed by the other party during the battle. There were already many wounded people moaning in pain on the ground, which fully demonstrated that the guy holding the sword and shield was a master.

"I really have a trick... It seems that I'm worried for nothing..." Robin heard Beller seemingly talking to himself. He took the lead and stopped, so Robin and the guards all stopped their mounts and watched the battle from afar.

In the short time when they stopped to observe, the man holding the sword and shield knocked down two opponents. One of the unlucky guys got a sword in his thigh, and the other was pierced through the shoulder blade. His movements were done in one go, and his offense and defense were impeccable. He could still cover the safety of his companions when hurting the enemy. It can be said that if it weren't for the need to cover his companions, these people could not stop him at all. Moreover, he had the opportunity to kill those two guys, but he deliberately aimed at the non-fatal places to attack. Having the leisure to care about the consequences means that this person has not yet paid ten costs.

Berel advanced and led the entire team of guards to rush from the slant to the two sides of the battle. Seeing the third party rushing over fiercely, both sides who were fighting were temporarily retreating and leaving the battle.

"I am the interim governor Berel." Berel reported his name and identity. "I want to know what's going on here!"

"Sir," shouted among the crowded group, "we are people from the 'Hope Casino'. They are both liars, they cheated gambling in our casino, and they ran away with the money they had cheated."

"No, they are unscrupulous in the casino. If they lose the bet, they want to resort to force to grab the money." The man holding the box immediately retorted loudly.

In this case where both sides have different opinions, the usual practice is to detain both sides and go back to investigate carefully. But this time Beller did not do this. In fact, he was carefully looking at the warrior holding a sword and shield against ten. From the man's movements and temperament, he should be a mercenary. In addition, there is a red dragon shape in the center of the shield, and from the workmanship of the shield, it can be seen that this is a special shield. From this, it is inferred that the pattern should be a herald, and the man is a noble child.

Of course, it is not rare for aristocratic children to become mercenaries. Even if they become pickpockets, thieves and even male prostitutes are common.

"It's hard to judge this... You have finished gambling. If you don't catch the gambling fraud on the spot, what you say later will be dead and there will be no evidence. This situation is indeed difficult to judge." Berel said.

"But they also hurt so many of us brothers!" The casino party shouted.

"That's self-defense!" The one carrying the box was not showing any weakness. "They are openly robbing/robbing!"

"By my opinion, it is really difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong. Then, since it is a dispute caused by gambling, let's go and resolve it. What do you think? Let's bet here and I'll make a notarization. If you lose, leave the money you won. If you lose, let them go. Is this OK?"

Both sides hesitated and thought for a long time, and then the person on the casino agreed first. Then the one who carried the box agreed.
