Chapter IX Requests

"Good day, father," the muse said hello to Atro as he walked over to his desk.

"Wake up? That's good. Atro said in a light tone.

Even if he cares deeply about the muse, Atro will not show it in front of the muse. In front of the muse, he shows more of sternness.

"But you have been in a coma for so long, your body should be very weak, don't go out these days, take care of your body first. ”

"I have brought you a knowledgeable scholar who will serve as your mentor and impart your knowledge about the history of the continent and the etiquette of the nobility in the coming days. ”

"When you get his approval, you can go out. ”

At the same time, Atro issued a "grounding order" against the muses in the same tone.

But the muse, with his rich experience in his previous life, was keenly aware of the concern beneath the surface of Atro's cold words.

"Has the battle with the Alec family become fierce?"

The muse thought to himself, and naturally he agreed.

"I see, father. I'll stay home well. ”

But the Muse also has his own plans, and although he is already an official arcanist, he still needs some disguise to show this ability in front of outsiders.

"Father, after this incident, I deeply felt my own inadequacy in self-preservation. The Muse slowly stated his intentions, "Therefore, I hope to be taught about combat in addition to my knowledge!"

"Oh, what do you want to learn?" asked Atro faintly.

"Father, I hope to be taught by a mage and learn spells. The muse replied.

"Hmm, spells. "Atro was a bit surprised.

In his opinion, the previous muses would not care about this, after all, learning spells requires not only talent, but also the path of a mage is lonely many times, and learning those obscure spell knowledge and insisting on meditative exploration day after day is not something that the previous muses can bear.

Atro thought that the muse was at most just wanting more spell items, or better guards.

Atro had hired scholars to teach the Muses before, but the previous Muses had not been able to calm down and learn what he thought was dry, and often slipped out to spend their days drinking.

I don't know how many scholars can't bear the muse's behavior and choose to resign, and Atro can't do anything but work harder to run the family business, at least so that the muse won't be corrupted too quickly when he inherits the family business after his death.

Therefore, such a request from the Muse was something that Atro had not thought of.

Atro put down the scroll in his hand and studied the muse carefully. After many days of bedridden, Muse's face was pale, and his body seemed to be weak, but the persistence and composure in his eyes were something that Atro had never seen before.

Still, Atro decided to test his muse's resolve.

He stared deeply at the muse, his face more serious than ever: "Muse, my child. The path of a mage is destined to be uneven, not only requires a lot of money, but also has to go through unimaginable hardships. You've given up once before!Tell me, why do you want to embark on the path of a mage that is destined to be difficult again?"

Of course, the muse has no pressure on this small temptation: "Father, this time I was really scared of someone who almost died, I want to be strong, at least I have the ability to protect myself no matter what the situation." ”

Faced with this modest answer, Atro groaned for a moment and said, "It's okay, but I hope you can stick to it this time." ”

"Although you were found to have the talent of a mage at the time of your career initiation, you also studied with a mage for a while. But your slack attitude in learning spells has already annoyed that mage, and if you want to learn spells, you can only wait for me to bring in another mage. ”

At this moment, Atro raised his left hand and revealed the family seal ring he was wearing. He hesitated for a moment, then tapped his fingernail at the thumb of his right hand, and a trace of blood oozed out.

Atro brought the blood close to the family seal ring in his left hand, and it was visible to the naked eye that this blood was absorbed by the family seal ring, and then a huge ruby set in it quickly shimmered with the brilliance of the spell.

Atro's face showed a slight look of distress, but he quickly brought the seal to his lips and said to it, "Your Excellency Stephen, my friend, now I ask for your help...... and the power of the spell quickly conveyed the words.

At the same time, the brilliance on this ruby quickly faded and it quickly lost its luster.

With the eyes of the muse, it was easy to recognize that this was a sign that the spell item had been scrapped, and combined with the use just now, it was obvious that this was a spell item that had a constant long-distance communication technique, and it was definitely very valuable.

At this time, Atro, who had put away the seal, said, "All right, my child. I've already summoned a friend of my former high-ranking mage, and I've been mindful of giving him a lot of money over the years, so it should be fine to get him to take you as an apprentice and teach you spells. ”

"Thank you, Father. The muse bowed his head slightly and replied.

Atro waved his hand and smiled, "If you can really become a mage, that's the best thank you." ”

"And now, you go out first. Remember, stay here in peace, and don't go out. ”

"Yes, Father. The muse replied, and turned and walked out. Behind him, Atro picked up a scroll again and continued to look at it.

The thick door slowly closed, and the Muse nodded to Orville and Wesker, who were standing on either side, and walked out.

"Stephen?" said the muse with a slight smile on his face, the familiar name reminded him of a very nice guy, it was a very ...... Wonderful man, "It's just the same name, I haven't heard of that guy having anything to do with my family in my last life." ”

The muse hastily walked around the manor, checking the situation in the manor, and the forgotten memories of the previous life were picked up little by little, and he enjoyed this little bit of warmth.
