Chapter 5: Rite of Passage

Breakfast was simple, steamed eggs, chicken cake, and some side dishes.

Although those turnips and greens are absolutely delicious, Feng Xue still can't eat them, as if her body is rejecting these foods, but it's no wonder that anyone who eats the same thing for more than ten years will always get bored.

patted her stomach, Feng Xue got up from her seat, although there are only four servants in the family, but the rules are the rules, there are only Feng Xue and his maid Xiaoyu in the whole restaurant, and even Xiaoyu who is specially allowed to serve on the table, he can only eat the leftovers after Feng Xue eats it, not that Feng Xue has many rules, this is Xiaoyu's insistence. Of course, the maid who stood behind the master and drooled constantly couldn't say that there were many rules.

"......" Feng Xue suddenly heard a slight sound, like a drop of water tapping on the table, and like a breeze gently blowing through the leaves, Feng Xue turned around suddenly, but was so angry by the scene in front of him that she roared-

"Xiaoyu, don't lick the plate! What are you talking about! If you want to eat it, let Uncle Big Mouth make you another one!" Uncle Big Mouth here refers to the chef at home, who was originally a cook in the Feng family's private army, and he became a cook in the Feng family because of his big mouth, because of his big mouth, everyone called him Big Mouth, the original name, but no one remembers.

"It's been a long time since people have seen meat!" Xiaoyu muttered quietly as she stacked up the plates and chopsticks.

Feng Xue is not annoyed, Xiaoyu is more like a sister to him, she has lived together for more than ten years, if it is another noble family, how can there be a maid on the table?

After breakfast, it was a day of morning exercise, but Feng Xue did not practice swords today, but kept summoning all kinds of summons to test something, even in this era of the rise of the magic net, Xiaoyu was firmly attracted by the strange picture in front of him.

"By the way, why didn't you see Fu Bo today?" Feng Xue suddenly stopped what he was doing, sat on the rattan chair next to him and drank a sip of water, the Fu Bo he was talking about was Feng Fu, the housekeeper of the Feng family, and was given the surname of the master family as a servant, which is also a great honor in the Oriental human race, Feng Fu is such a servant, his qualifications are very old, it is said that he was in the Feng family in the era of Feng Xue's grandfather, as an old man who has accompanied the Feng family for three generations, his loyalty is beyond doubt.

"Fu Bo has gone to pick up the envoy of the imperial capital. Xiaoyu touched the bangs in front of her head, and seemed to think for a while before saying.

"What are you going to do with them?" Feng Xue frowned, he didn't believe that Fu Bo couldn't see that the other party was not good.

"Fauber said, 'Whatever their purpose is, they are always here to give us money, and since they are sending money, they must always take it.'" Xiaoyu put on an old-fashioned look and repeated Fubo's words.

But that's right, although the person who came was not good, but as a coming-of-age ceremony and inheritance ceremony for an earl-level nobleman, the imperial capital naturally wanted to mean something, according to the clear regulations, at least not less than 10 million crystal coins.

[Because of the fall of the goddess of wealth, the mainland gold coin system collapsed, and the goblins took the opportunity to launch the crystal coin system, which is made of the lowest level of crystal or magic crystal powder coins or crystal cards (similar to bank cards) can be stored in a stable special magic power, goblins through this magic power, to show the amount of money, a standard crystal coin unit can store magic power is called a crystal coin, and the magic crystal card can transfer the internal magic power to each other, and display the capacity on the card, and can be bound to the owner's spirit pattern (equivalent to a fingerprint, but it exists at the soul level), which can be said to be quite safeAt the same time, it can be exchanged for crystal coins by depositing precious metals such as gold in the Goblin Bank, as for silver?

Tens of millions of crystal coins, it sounds like a lot, but for the nobles, it is really not much, take Feng Xue as an example, his title is earl, if it is full, the castle can invite hundreds of servants, and at the same time can raise a group of private soldiers of no more than three thousand people, the purchasing power of crystal coins is similar to that of soft sister coins, although the price of agricultural products in this world is low (because of magic, the output is huge), a soldier's meal can also gnaw three crystal coins (here refers to the big pot dish, and it is not considered meat), just eating, private soldiers can eat nearly 20,000 crystal coins a day (two meals a day plus breakfast, after all, soldiers are not farmers, and nutrition is indispensable), but this is only the smallest expense, The armor and weapons of the soldiers need to be maintained, that is a big project, the earl's army, the commander must always have a magic weapon in his hand, right? The soldier's weapon must at least be fine iron, right? That's it, tens of millions of crystal coins can last for a year, the problem is the face of the nobles!

Yes, it is the face of the nobles who really spends money, and the clothes of the nobles must at least be made of magic fabrics, right? It doesn't matter what the man is wearing, but at least there should be a ring engraved with the family crest (equivalent to a seal, which can be used as a seal, and will not be imitated due to the use of special technology)? If you can use a unicorn, you can call it rich and handsome (this is a description, only elves can use unicorns to pull a cart)!

I won't say much about living, no matter how poor Feng Xue is, she has a castle, at most she can spend some money to rest, but what about eating?

Aristocrats, of course, can't eat cauldron like soldiers!

Eat green vegetables and turnips, that's no way!

But with money, still eat green vegetables and turnips?

Therefore, 10 million crystal coins, for the noble, is less than half a year's expenses, if you add an earl in front of this nobleman, then it can be considered thrifty to spend a month.

However, it is not a problem for Feng Xue, not to mention whether he wants to cultivate power or not, the question is whether anyone is willing to work here.

This 10 million crystal coins can be said to be something that can really fall into Feng Xue's hands, and no one can deduct it from it, after all, it is the law, as long as it is the law, it is impossible to be disobeyed. (For details, please refer to the "Code of Hundred Ethnic Groups" related to the work)

When you think about it, it's really worth a while.

"Hello Count Rose, I am Nicky K. Charles of the Charles family (the word or letter in the middle of the name of the Western nobles represents the inheritance of the family, only those who have a title can use it, if Nicky is not a viscount, then he can only be called Nicky Charles, if the two families have different surnames, but have the same letters, it means that the two families are likely to have a common ancestor, of course, it may be just a coincidence), the examiner sent by the Empire, and also sent the documents to inherit the title on behalf of the Empire. ”

Feng Xue looked at the young man in front of him, he was twenty years old, but the two dark circles under his eyes seemed to indicate that he was not doing very well.

However, Feng Xue will not be confused by appearances, through the exploration of "condensation", the body of this guy named Nicky is obviously in a peak state, where is there half a point of fatigue? (condensation refers to the technique of condensing thoughts in the eyes, you can see the energy, and you can also perceive the exuberance of life)

However, this is obviously not pretending to be for himself, because he has already been a meal on the plate in the eyes of the other party, so who is he pretending to show Feng Xue swept over the entourage behind him without a trace, and then his gaze returned to Nicky's body again.

The guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, Feng Xue silently made a definition in his heart.

"Because I'm the only one in the family, the coming-of-age ceremony is relatively simple, so please forgive me. After Feng Xue said politely, she gave Uncle Fu a look, and Uncle Fu immediately took out a brocade box, which looked like it was some years old.

This thing is still a bit exquisite, in the Oriental Terran, the junior must be written by the elders when they become adults, but in the military general's family, due to the relationship between the elders to go to the battlefield, they usually leave such a brocade box, which is written with the "words" for their descendants, if the elders die in battle, then whether there are other elders, the words of this junior must be in accordance with the brocade box, although the Feng family serves in the Western Terran, but the tradition of the Eastern Terran has not changed in the slightest.

The original coming-of-age ceremony would have the blessings of the elders, and then crowned and expressed the words, but at this moment, it was all turned into a simple opening brocade box.

"Boy, Lao Tzu is your father! You must be having a very hard time now, right? Lao Tzu can't stand you! I left you a mess, but since I am Feng Hong's son, I will definitely not be defeated by this trouble, right? Lao Tzu is a big old man, not so much culture, the table is for your mother to come! What is it called Youcheng, anyway, your mother doesn't understand the bunch of twists and turns, but she said that you will understand, and I won't say more. That's it! By the way, don't lose the face of our Feng family!"

A letter, the writing was so vulgar that he even forgot to write it, but Feng Xue saw an expectation, and the tall man in his memory seemed to appear in front of him again, smiling stupidly.

"Youcheng, ......" Feng Xue sighed, although his memory was sealed, all the experiences were still real, and the appearance of that father gradually merged with the old father with a face full of vicissitudes on the earth in his memory, which made him a little sentimental.

However, some flies don't know how to read words and colors—

"Earl Feng, is it time to start the assessment. ”

Feng Xue turned around, and a wave of coercion erupted, not only Nikki, but even the many servants behind him also felt a suppressed anger.

"Yes. Feng Xue said lightly, there was no expression, or rather, he was too lazy to make any expression.

"Wait a minute!"

The two turned around at the same time, only to find Xiaoyu who took out the chip and stuck it on his temple.

"Don't, don't forget that this assessment is to be online fair!" Xiaoyu seemed a little nervous, but still stumbled and said.

"Got it. Feng Xue patted Xiaoyu's head, this sensitive girl who got along with her day and night obviously noticed that something was wrong with her emotions. He adjusted his breathing for a moment before he said gently, "I know, I won't kill him, it's not time yet." ”

"Don't be ashamed!" Nicky K. Charles pulled out the long sword at his waist, and a stream of sea-blue air gushed from the blade, the magic sword of the water system, being able to use this sword, Nick is obviously also the fighting spirit of the water system.

"It seems that you have done a lot of information! you actually know how to use the water system to restrain my Feng family's swordsmanship!" Feng Xue said indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

The Feng family's swordsmanship followed a light and strange assassination route, which happened to be restrained by the fighting spirit of the water system.

"If you know, throw in the towel as soon as possible. Nicky didn't speak, and a young man began to shout.

"Noise!" Xiao Yu suddenly rushed to Xiao Yu's side, and knocked him to the ground with a slap, Xiao Yu is also an extraordinary martial artist, the speed is no worse than that of a thief, and the atmosphere has become more and more tense before the battle has even started.
