A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 413 Kressdorf

Chao Bufan and the others were genuinely wondering if this was really a land of dwarves, since everyone here was so "amazingly" tall.

"Hmph!" The old man standing on the far right snorted coldly, and the "fleshy ball" on the far left then spoke up: "Kressdorf, look at what time it is, where are our things?"

So his name is Kressdorf!

The "fleshball's" voice sounded like a roar. Krestor stood motionless, seemingly rooted to the spot, somewhat helpless at the sudden arrival of the four old men. He leisurely rummaged through his inner pockets and found what he was looking for: a very special red wooden cane, a cane only people like them could use. He grasped the cane by the middle and raised it high. The cane flashed, and a beautifully crafted little wooden box appeared between them.

"Professor Mida, this is what you've been looking for."

He smiled slightly, then put the wooden cane back into his clothes.

Professor Madda "jumped" to the box, opened it without hesitation, and took out what they had in mind: a golden key.

After getting the item, his attitude changed completely. He smiled slightly at Kressdorf and asked, "You're not trying to fool us with a fake key, are you?"

“How did you know?” Kressdorf asked.

“Aha! My dear Professor Kressdorf, we have never doubted our friendship.”

The old man on the far right, with a big smile on his face, walked over and gave Krestov a big hug.

"Professor Vox, could you please take your dirty hands off me?" Kressdorf was really uncomfortable with this kind of hug. If you're going to hug, why are you holding me so tightly?

Professor Vaux wasn't angry. He laughed and said, "My dear Professor Kressdorf, you don't have to be so petty, do you?"

"And what do you think?" Kressdorf countered.

Professor Madda had already put the golden key back into the wooden box and put it away. He and two other old men (the old man in beggar's clothes was named Federnon, and the other one was named Bill) came to Kressdorf and started talking to him.

Krestor seemed to have gotten used to it, but his face remained unchanged, neither warm nor cold.

I thought there would be a "world war", but it turned out to be a false alarm. It's not hard to see that these old men have a good relationship with each other.

“My dear Professor Kressdorf, I must say, you are the person we admire most, having steadfastly remained in that dilapidated cave for decades,” Professor Beers said with admiration.

“If it were one of us, we would have quit long ago. I just don’t understand what’s so great about that shabby cave that’s worth your ‘staying at your post’,” Professor Federer replied.

"Old friend, I'm not trying to be mean, but look at you, you've completely changed. You weren't like this before," Professor Madda said with regret and sympathy.

“If you stayed in a cave for decades, you would change too,” Kressdorf said.

"Decades? What a joke! We couldn't even stay there for a day. You have no idea how much fun we've had all these years!" Professor Vaux said.

“Oh, good, that’s something to celebrate, very good!” Krestor said irritably. “You damned bunch, always bothering me like this.” He turned sharply to Mada, “Especially you, always making such a commotion, who are you trying to scare?”

“This isn’t my fault,” Professor Madda said calmly. “You broke your promise first. You were supposed to give us the things yesterday, but you didn’t. We came to you to ask for them, right?”

“Bullshit,” Kressdorf said angrily. “How did I break my promise? Today is the last day.”

“No, it was yesterday,” Professor Meda said.

“It’s today,” Kressdorf retorted.

"Yesterday."

"Today."

"yesterday."

"today."

……

The two got into a heated argument over the deadline, each sticking to their own "point of view" and arguing until they were red in the face, seemingly determined to fight to the death.

"Ahem!" Professor Vox coughed, immediately stopping the two men's verbal sparring. He said slowly, "Professor Meda, it seems we've made a mistake. Today is the final deadline."

“I know that,” Professor Madda said angrily, but then realized that he might have really misremembered, and chuckled, “Old friend, maybe I really did make a mistake. You shouldn’t mind, right?”

At this point, he glanced shrewdly at Professor Vaux, as if hoping he would say something, but Professor Vaux remained silent. Even Professors Beers and Federnon seemed to think, "Don't look at me, this has nothing to do with me." So he continued, "Alright, alright! I was wrong, Krestov, I apologize." With that, he turned his gaze to Professor Vaux and the others, angrily saying, "You damned fellows, you made it agreed before you came, and now you've all gone back on your word, very well, very well."

It's really hard to imagine that these five old men are actually such playful old folks. Chao Bufan and the others couldn't help but smile. However, Bridal and his friends seemed quite interested in these old men, as if they saw a bit of themselves in them.

Unfortunately, Professor Madda, unable to vent his displeasure and looking for someone to take it out on, happened to catch sight of Chao Bufan and his group out of the corner of his eye. Feeling that these young people were laughing at his embarrassment, he flew into a rage and pointed at Chao Bufan and the others, berating them: "You little brats, who gave you the guts to come in? You dare to laugh? Want a beating?"

It seems he has finally found someone to vent his anger on, as his tone became much more forceful, giving off an air of taking advantage of his age.

"Uh!" Chao Bufan and the others were stunned, standing there with expressions of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Professor Mida, haven’t you made enough of a scene? These are all students from the magic academy; I sent them.” Surprisingly, Kressdorf actually spoke up for Chao Bufan and his group.

"Oh, so it was you who sent them. I knew it! How dare these little kids come here to play!" Professor Medea seemed to have finally calmed down and said peacefully.

Chao Bufan quickly raised his hands and said, "Professors, your student Chao Bufan greets you!"
