In the dark of night, the man wore a white robe, the robe of a magician.He had an old face, a long beard, fine eyebrows and a gentle smile, but the way he looked at Dewey was like a needle!

It hurt to be stared at like that.

"Who are you?Dewey frowned. "A master magician?I don't seem to have any dealings with the Guild of Wizards."

The body of the old man in the wizard's robes drifted over the railing and landed a few feet in front of Dewey.He was still smiling...I have to say, although he is very old, he has very delicate skin and shining eyes that are not suitable for his age!.Dewey had never seen anyone with such bright eyes!

"You surprise me...Because before, I thought you were just a petty aristocratic boy who could cheat."The old wizard smiled and looked at Dewey. "But now it seems you still have some great mental faculties...Oh, can you do magic, too?Your hands don't have to pinch the fingerprints of fire magic...Don't be on your guard.Because...That's no use at all."

Dewey watched the guy more and more carefully. "Who the hell are you?"

"I..."He stooped down and picked up a bottle from the table. Then he took a sip for himself and sighed. "Nice wine, the Rollins have always had such a good bottle...You ought to be flattered, my boy, that you are the first Rollin to buy me a drink for a hundred years."
