16 Peter Village's Past

"Sir Reyer, we're telling the truth!"

"This kid says he's from Peter Village."

The captain pointed at Kelly and said with an aggrieved expression.

"Peter Village?"

Surprise flashed across Reyer's face, followed by a long memory.

Kelly also looked at Reyer. From the way the guards looked at Reyer, Kelly was certain that Reyer was the true core existence in Stargle.

The guards looked at Reyer with respect.

Originally, Kelly thought that someone who could make so many guards respect him must be a mighty warrior.

However, after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that this was not the case at all.

Reyer had long hair and wore a blue mage robe. His fair and clean face made Kelly unable to tell if he was a man or a woman.

"I'm really from Peter Village!" Kelly emphasized again.

"Bullsh*t, I've never heard of Peter Village!" The captain scolded angrily.

Then Ryer spoke.

"There is indeed Peter Village. I know this village's badge," Reyer looked at Kelly and said calmly.

The guards were stunned on the spot.

Reyer continued, "A few hundred years ago, that was Petersburg Fortress, the most important border defense line of the Empire. Unfortunately… something happened later, and this hundred-year-old steel fortress finally declined!"

"It then became the current Peter Village!"

Even Kelly did not expect Peter Village to have such a history. Although he knew a little about it, he did not know the situation of the entire village as well as Reyer.

At this moment, Reyer's understanding of the entire village shocked Kelly.

"Alright, you guys don't have to explain anything. Apologize to this little guy."

The guards looked at Kelly. Although they were not convinced, they could only lower their heads and apologize.

"Well, little brother, I'm really sorry. I was a little rude just now!"

"I'm sorry!"

The guards were also polite. They knew that what they had just done was indeed a little rude.

Most importantly, they could now confirm that he was not a spy they had thought he was, so their attitude towards him was naturally much more amiable now.

However, in the face of their apologies, Kelly's attitude was indeed very cold.

"Since there's no problem, I'll go in first."

"Thank you!"

Kelly only said a few words before turning around and entering Stargle.

At this moment, Reyer looked at Kelly with surprise in his eyes.

"You're Kelly, right?"

Kelly stopped and frowned at Reyer.

"You've just arrived in Stargle. You don't know much about the situation here, do you?"

"Why don't we talk at my house first?"

Reyer stepped forward, patted Kelly on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

In the face of Reyer's sudden goodwill, Kelly frowned and looked at Reyer. With the strength of this hero, it was indeed strange for him to suddenly make such a choice.

"I'm sorry, I've already made arrangements so I am afraid I will have to decline this time!" Kelly shook his head and refused without thinking.

There must be a reason for this abnormality. Kelly naturally couldn't easily believe such a thing.

Reyer was surprised that Kelly would reject him so decisively.

After Kelly finished speaking, he turned around and entered Stargle without looking back.

"Sir Reyer, you seem to be interested in this kid," the captain asked curiously. With Reyer's status, how could he be interested in a little guy like Kelly? There must be a very important reason.

Layer didn't answer the question. He just looked in the direction Kelly had gone, a smile between his eyes. 'What an interesting little fellow.'

Reyer looked at Kelly's receding figure seriously and thought to himself.

On the other side, Kelly, who had entered Stargle, looked around.

This was the first time he had come to such a large town. Everything here looked so fresh.

There were many passers-by on the street. When they looked at Kelly, they all looked at him curiously. They probably didn't expect such a young guy to come here alone.

Kelly circled around and asked around a few times before finally finding a hotel.

"Master, this place looks very powerful." Golden Crow's voice sounded in his mind.

Kelly replied with a smile, "Of course. This is a large town. Those who can come here are all experts from various factions."

"This is the first time I've seen so many people! It's so lively!" Golden Crow's voice was filled with excitement.

Kelly was also chatting with Golden Crow.

At this moment, the people in the hotel looked at Kelly with their mouths agape.

"Is this kid a fool?"

"Yeah, why are you talking to yourself here?"

The men muttered under their breath. As far as they were concerned, Kelly was talking to himself.

At this moment, the lady boss brought the roasted bread to the table. Kelly was still talking to himself as if nothing had happened.

"Is he… communicating with this strange little snake?" The lady boss looked at Kelly with her mouth agape. This was the first time she had seen such a strange scene.

Kelly came back to his senses and looked at the lady boss with a smile. "Sorry, this little guy is my pet. He's a little naughty."

The landlady looked at Kelly in surprise.

"Little brother, you should be here to participate in the selection conference of the magic branch, right?"

Kelly nodded. "Lady boss, you know about it too?"

"Heh, recently, many people have also come to participate in the selection conference of the magic branch!"

"Take a look!" The lady boss said as she handed over the leaflet for the Selection Conference.

It recorded some details about the Selection Conference.

"Thank you, Lady Boss."

Kelly looked the flyer up and down.

The so-called Selection Conference was actually just using a stone to determine everyone's talent. It was divided into five levels according to the white, green, blue, purple, and gold.

The higher the level, the more favorable it would be.

Of course, there were also some people who had special circumstances and were fancied by some senior teachers. Naturally, they could also enter the branch school.

However, the assessment this time was clearly much simpler than they had imagined.

As long as one's talent passed, coupled with some simple assessments, they would naturally be able to successfully enter this magic school branch.

Kelly was still very confident in this matter.

The lady boss smiled and said, "Little brother, eat first. I'll go up and arrange a room for you."

"I wish you success in this selection!"

Kelly smiled and nodded, then continued chatting with Golden Crow.
