Sean pushed open the door of the tavern. The wooden door, which had been a long time ago, made a harsh friction sound. He glanced at the interior of the tavern. It was an extremely dim tavern. Usually, this type of tavern was not very light, but this tavern was particularly serious.

In broad daylight, you also need to light a candle to see the surrounding environment, but this also provides a secret environment for criminal conspiracy, gang negotiations, and smuggling joints.

He walked through the wine table full of alcoholics and gangsters and sat down at a table deepest in the tavern. Ulysses was holding his arms, thinking about something, and in front of him was a plate of meat pie, a bottle of wine, and two cups.

Sean sat down and looked at Ulysses leisurely. Since the other party invited him here, he probably had something to say to him.

He was not sure why Ulysses would appear in the dark alley area. Maybe it was just a coincidence? No, there were not so many coincidences in the world. Maybe he was in the same group as the masked man outside? But isn't this guy pursuing mysterious power? But the tone of the masked man was in the tone of a revolutionary who wanted to save the world.

It's really hard to connect the two.

He was not in a hurry, anyway, this had nothing to do with him, so he looked at the other person with great care.

Ulysses's erratic eyes finally returned to the real world from thinking, looked at Sean, smiled, and finally spoke, but what he said was beyond Sean's expectations.

"Try this meat pie. This tavern has the most difficult wine in the entire Sword Castle - I even doubt whether it was made of grapes, but their meat pie is also the most delicious in the Sword Castle. 1 I have never dared to guess what kind of meat it is until now, but as long as you taste it once, you won't consider the details."

As he said, he pushed the meat pie in front of Sean. The meat pie should have just been taken out of the oven. The golden dough was shiny and the cake was visible to the naked eye. The meat pie was cut horizontally and vertically. The meat pie leaked out from the texture of the knife edge, emitting an attractive fragrance. The brown gravy slowly flowed out between the gaps, rolling with oil beads.

The fragrance was unexpectedly tempting, but Sean still didn't move. He was used to being prepared for any food before entering it.

Ulysses seemed a little disappointed with his reaction, but he didn't care too much about it.

"We met Professor Sean again, and I have to say that it seems that fate always pushes you and me together."

Sean shrugged, "It's just a coincidence. We all live in the Sword Castle, and it's reasonable to encounter it once a while."

"No, this is by no means a coincidence. This is the power of fate. Please listen to my explanation before you resist this idea. Do you still remember the first time we met? In the big library of Sword Castle

In fact, that morning I had just completed a prophecy, prophecy of my own destiny, the city, and even the world. The prophecy told me that I would meet my best friends and companions in my life, where I usually like to go, and we would complete a great mission - to bring a new order to the world. I knew this sounded a bit too nonsense, even like nonsense in the mouth of a madman.

But I did wait for you.”

Sean was a little surprised. Although he was mentally prepared to be fooled, he still did not expect Ulysses to make such exaggerated remarks, just as he said himself - just like the nonsense in the mouth of a madman.

"Let's not talk about how your prophecy came about, how do you know that the person you are waiting for in the prophecy is me? I remember there were other people in the library that day."

"Haha, of course I am not so arbitrary. The ability of prophecy I have mastered is very ancient and mysterious. I found it from an ancient book, which gave me a complete prophecy, 'That man comes from a foreign land, has the same profession and the same hobbies as me'."

"But I'm from Brighton," Sean interrupted.

"But you just returned from Nord. Although Nord is already a part of Brighton, people know in their hearts that these two regions have completely different cultures and were still enemies hundreds of years ago, so it is reasonable to say that they come from a foreign land.

As for prophecy, it always requires a little over-interpretation.

Let’s talk about professions, you and I are both professors. Although we teach different departments, professions are the same, and they also bring knowledge to those ignorant people.”

"I am not sure only the last point. Will you have the same hobbies as me? Studying the power of mystery and exploring the ancient miracle, I have tried you, do you remember, although you deny it, my perception tells me that your thoughts may not be as expressed as you do, maybe it is because of the miscellaneous people around you, maybe it is because we have known each other for a while, so that you dare not express your feelings.

But we are in the tavern now and no one hears us. So can you give me a candid answer?

If you really have no interest in the power of mystery, you can tell me clearly, but if you do have the same ambition as me, please don't hide it anymore, because I will discuss a very important thing with you, and I must confirm this before that."

Sean looked at Ulysses's frank face, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head: "There are so many people here, and it seems that they are not the place to talk about such things."

"Haha, do you think so?" The old man smiled and suddenly patted three times. The drinkers around him seemed to have received some signal and all stood up in an instant.

Then they walked silently and quietly outside the tavern. In the blink of an eye, only Sean and Ulysses were left in the originally bustling and even noisy tavern.

Even the bartender is gone.

"So, can you talk now?" Ulysses said with a smile, pouring a glass of wine for each of them.

Sean stared at the empty tavern around and suddenly laughed.

But I felt more and more alert in my heart, "You are indeed not an ordinary professor."

"I do have some power and power beyond my identity, but I guess you are not as honest as you seem on the surface?"

Sean nodded this time: "I am indeed very interested in mysticism. To be precise, those forces beyond the ordinary are interested. The reason I went to Nord was to find the lost legends there. Unfortunately, this trip did not gain much, although I found some treasures and made a lot of money."

Sean did not intend to completely conceal his experience. He had realized that the old man in front of him had a mysterious background, and his true identity behind him was never short. With so many subordinates, his intelligence ability was absolutely not bad.

I have sold a lot of gold and jewelry in the sword castle. If the other party really investigates me, it is meaningless to conceal this kind of thing. If you lie, you must have three-point fake and seven-point real to be like that. If you encounter a smart person who is not easy to deceive - such as the one in front of you, then it is also necessary to have nine-point real and one-point fake.
