Chapter 14 The Idle Man in the Baron's Mansion
Riding a powerful wildebeest, the horse didn't even break a sweat, and the several kilometers journey was completed in a blink of an eye.
Walking on the big bluestone is a completely different feeling than riding a horse on the bluestone.
At the end of Bluestone Street is the center of Sissel Territory, the baron's residence.
The offices of the affairs officers, sheriffs, tax collectors and other officials in the territory are located on both sides of the baron's palace, as well as the baron's guardian knights. The rows of small defensive fort-like buildings are their homes.
In addition to the guardian knights, other professional knights also live in wealthy areas. The big bell in the baron's palace rings, and the knights who blow the battle horn must complete their assembly after the bell ends, otherwise the baron has the right to revoke his title of knight.
Kings create nobles, nobles create knights, and knights recruit attendants.
Arriving in front of the Baron's Mansion, the father and son dismounted, handed the wildebeest to their slaves, and walked in through the door.
"Fei Fei, it's been several years since you went to public school and left the Baron's Mansion. Do you still remember the way to the Mansion?"
Feifei said nothing, took a few steps forward, acted as a guide, and led Cosay to the baron's reception room.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.
What caught the extraordinary eye was a man with fiery red hair. He was about the same age as his father. He was not wearing formal clothes because he was at home.
"Hahaha, Kosai, my friend, I'm sorry that I dragged you to my house on my day off."
Looking at the Baron who showed no sincerity in apologizing, Fei Fei couldn't help but curse a few times in his heart.
His big palm scratched the red hair a few times. Looking at the handsome young man in front of him who was somewhat similar to his old friend, the baron suddenly said: "This is extraordinary. I haven't seen him for a long time. He has become a young man. He is really energetic."
"Thank you for your compliments, the owner of the territory, the noble Baron Sissel."
It seems that Baron Sissel has also discovered that his father is no longer an ordinary gardener. Otherwise, how can nobles and commoners be friends? The baron's expression does not seem to be fake.
This is no longer the shy little boy who followed his two daughters.
After sending Fei Fei to the backyard garden to play by himself, Baron Sissel and Cosay went into the reception room to discuss the coming-of-age ceremony.
When Fei Fei arrived at the back garden with ease, he did not rush in. Instead, he pricked up his ears outside the arch and listened for a long time to make sure no one was inside.
He didn't want to meet Ruth or other women from the Baronial Palace, because he was pretty when he was a child, but his face had suffered a lot.
The garden is still the same garden, and Feifan would often be taken there to play by Ke Sai when he was in public school.
Walking to the observation deck, you can reach the platform in three steps and two steps at a time. It is also a good place to take a look at the scenery. You can also see the large dome and spire of the Underwriters Association.
Until he spots an uninvited guest.
I just saw that there was no one up here. Thinking about Ruth's habit of dressing up in white at night and pretending to be a ghost to scare people, are all the Baron's family crazy?
"Young man, I see that you have been staring at the Underwriters Association just now? Why do you want to join the Underwriters Association?"
Black hooded magic robe, water pattern badge, this is a great water magician.
The notes that Priest Ladonna gave to his extraordinary teacher not only introduced some of his experiences after becoming an insurance agent, but more importantly, he introduced some races, professions, and a few combat skills on the mainland with pictures and texts.
At that time, Feifei briefly browsed through it and complained that it would be more beneficial to have a skill book.
Fergus Binder, a black-robed water magician from the royal capital, came to Sissel this time to handle some private matters. He had an official letter from the magicians' union, so he was warmly received by the baron.
The Pentax wizard looked at Fei Fei, who was wearing a linen placket dress. This should be the fabric that a wealthy family would choose.
Most civilian families wear coarse clothes and do not have good tailoring skills.
As for the nobility, silk and pure cotton are their first choice.
Pentax lowered his head and looked at his specially customized black magic robe. Well, only the truly strong would use various precious materials to decorate themselves.
Feifan looked at the old magician who lowered his head and smiled after asking him a question. Could it be that he was really a fool? But I had never heard of a fool becoming a magician. He was still a great magician.
"Dear elder, are you asking me?"
"Huh?" Bintax came back to his senses and looked at Fei Fei, "By the way, kid, I think you have plenty of magic power and are a good candidate to become a magician."
Binde shook his beard and said, "Are you interested in going to the royal capital with me to learn magic and become my magic apprentice?"
Mimi smiled and asked Feifan Pentax, not knowing that Feifan already despised the great magician infinitely in his heart.
Young Master, I am not an insurance apprentice in the Insurance Association. I am a direct trainee.
Moreover, with the "Master's" insurance notes, I have a new understanding of insurance, if only for a few days.
Feifan really doesn't know if he would be tempted if he had received the invitation a few days ago. After all, doesn't a magician sound more prestigious than an insurance person?
"Dear elder, I don't want to be a magician and disappoint you."
Pentax didn't care if he was rejected, it was just a whim that he felt the surge of magic power from Feifan.
In the royal capital, people lining up to become apprentices of their own magic can line up from Victory Square to the gate of the royal palace.
"Oh? So you are the guest of His Excellency the Baron? But will the guest wander around the master's garden by himself?"
Pentax Magician is also bored, otherwise a big magician would have nothing to talk about with a child who is not yet an adult.
"I grew up accompanying the Baron's daughter to receive education at the Baron's house. My father and the Baron are good friends, and my mother's needlework is the best in the entire territory."
Pentax's face turned dark. What's this and what?
"Oh, by the way, I work for the Underwriters Association, that's why I was looking over there just now."
After listening to Fei Fei's childish words, Pentax was about to turn around and walk away. But with the words "Insurers Association", his legs that he took out were instantly retracted.
No one would lie about the profession of God's Attendant, and I just needed to get back the lost items of the Magician's Guild from Ladonna. Maybe this silly boy could use the waste.
Thinking of this, Pentax reached back and took out a small mechanical item.
A metal ball. Watching Fei Fei being attracted to the little thing in his hand, Pentax showed a hint of pride.
"Child, I felt very friendly as soon as I saw you. Perhaps because we are favored by the goddess of nature, this little toy is treated as a gift and is given to you now."
Feifan took the metal ball and felt it was tight in his hand. The ball suddenly soared into the air, split apart in the air, and turned into a metal bird.
This is "Weier's Messenger", invented by Ms. Taylor Weiweian, the master alchemist and puppet master of the Holy Roman Empire.
Put it in your hand and clench your fist, and the metal ball will soar into the air and turn into a bird. Because birds fly in two directions, this kind of messenger can only transmit information point-to-point.
Isn't this just a pigeon? There are no pigeons in this world!
"Oh, I salute you and praise the goddess of nature! But, respected elder, isn't this a pair? Where is the other one?"
Feifan liked it very much, and with an impatient expression, he urged the Pentax magician.
"Haha, you can call me Flowing Pentax. As long as you answer a question for me, I will give you another messenger. How about it, little guy?"
The warm spring breeze blows on the old and young people on the viewing platform. They are all caring people, and none of them are actors.
Drooling Pentax? Alzheimer's disease? Feifan thought evilly, and then answered Binde:
"Okay, Shui Shui Pentax, as long as I know, I can tell you."
Pentax didn't care about the extraordinary grammatical errors, smiled steadily, and said: "There is a wisteria cane in the Underwriters Association with a red stone on it. It was a gift I gave to Priest Ladonna at that time. Have you seen it? "
Without even thinking about it, Feifei replied, "I've seen him before. Every time after mass, he takes out his cane and rubs it hard. He misses your friendship."
Hearing Fei Fei say this, Bintax knew that this silly boy didn't know the information about the wisteria cane, but in order to keep a good relationship, he still threw another messenger to Fei Fei.
"This old guy greeted people with a smile just now, and then turned ruthless the next moment, but it was good to gain something."
After taking the metal ball, Feifan watched the great magician walk down the high platform like flowing water and disappear among the flowers.
A figure flashed past the end of the extraordinary field of vision and appeared on the observation deck in an instant.
Miss Ruth, wearing a red dress and black skirt, stared at Fei Fei with her big round eyes, and asked strangely:
"Little thief, why are you here?"
After asking, he ignored Fei Fei and just sat on the edge of the stage with his long legs dangling.
I don’t know the quality of Miss Ruth’s stockings. They can easily become stringy if they swing that much.
"Oh, I was invited by the Baron," Feifan whispered back.
"Huh? Cordo Feifan, you are not only a thief, but also a liar."
This eldest lady must have just come from the living room, but why do you, a person with a split personality, always slander me?
Ruth turned around, and the two ribbons of bows on her long red hair passed by the wind in front of Fei Fei's face. She looked at Fei Fei and lowered his head in silence, smiling mockingly.
"You want to be my sister's guardian knight? This is as funny as the roses blooming in the Bone Desert."
"Weak, greedy, shameless thief, liar."
Miss Ruth's sister Miss Lucy came out to role play again.
"Miss Lucy, you have misunderstood me. I have not yet achieved these noble qualities!"
Fei Fei shrugged. He was used to the young lady's routine after being scolded by Lucy every time.
"Sure enough, the shamelessness has been eaten by you with the black bread, and it has taken root in your dirty heart."
"You nymphomaniac thief and liar, you have no chance of becoming my sister's guardian knight."
Feifan was already sitting next to Lucy (Ruth) when she turned on the scolding mode, and every time Lucy got tired of scolding, she would fall asleep until night, when she would return to her true role as Ruth.
"If I had the power of my sister's berserker, I would beat you to death."
Beat me to death a hundred times, right? what ever.
