56 Commencement of construction
Ten years old is a very important age, both in the PM world and in the O-European continent.
People in the PM world can have their first pokemon in this year, while people in the O'European continent will have a chance to test their talent for free in this year.
As mentioned before, it costs a lot of money to test talents, so for ordinary people, this test is the only opportunity to change their future.
Of course, the nobility did not lack the money to test their talents, and even many families would test their children soon after birth, but the number of commoners was always higher than that of the nobles, and the affected nobles naturally regarded the tenth birthday as an important date.
"I'm going to give a big gift on the day of the banquet." Balthazar proudly announced, "Think about it, how surprised I would be when I appeared in front of everyone with His Highness Ismail on such a day. ”
"What do you think of this absolute gift, for you, and for Butlans Royal?" He looked at Izumi expectantly.
Izumi: "...... It's good if you're happy. ”
What else can he do but cooperate? It's impossible to run to the door of the palace and knock on the door and say that he is Ismail who has been missing for a long time, right? The feasibility is too low, maybe he won't even have a chance to get close to the palace.
"And when are we leaving?" Izumi asked, he needed to time things out of here.
The capitals of Corot and Batlanth are actually not far away, separated by a mountain range, and if calculated in a straight line, it only takes about three days to reach the capital from Corot. However, the terrain of this mountain range is dangerous, and there are a large number of demonic beasts stationed, so most people who travel between the two places will choose to take a detour, and the time will be multiplied several times from three days to ten days.
If Balthazar had sent his knights, he would have been able to pass through the mountains safely, but he was not in a hurry, so he naturally chose a more secure route.
Balthazar had originally planned to leave early, but now that there is an additional spring, the time will be delayed. "The departure time can be late, we need more time to give you some special training."
"Special training?"
"Special training in aristocratic etiquette." Since it's going to make a grand debut, it's good to make Izumi's performance more perfect.
"I'm here for special training." Electrolux immediately offered to take on the task.
"You?" Balthazar looked at his cousin suspiciously, then loosened his brow.
Although he has a lot of problems as a junior, he has to say that he is still very good at etiquette.
"Then you can do it." Balthazar waved his hand in agreement.
So Izumi had one more thing to do.
Then Balthazar began to care about the dwelling of the springs.
I didn't know that this was his cousin before, but now that I know, Balthazar naturally wants to prepare the best for him.
"I'll send someone to help you pack up your salute, and you'll live with me from today onwards."
Balthazar didn't say this to ask, he just told him, although the rest was not very clear, but he still knew about Izumi's residence in the lower city - when he brought the cub back, he also asked his subordinates to pay attention to the whereabouts of the magic doctor, so that he could come to the door directly to ask for something in the future.
But Izumi refused, "The place where I live now is actually very good, and I just recently bought a piece of mountain land to plant something, so it is not convenient to run back and forth if I move here." He didn't say that he was reluctant to Uncle Carter and them, but he just told his cousin truthfully that the City Lord's Mansion was really too far away from there.
It takes more than an hour to ride in a carriage, and if you run back and forth every day, you have to waste a lot of time on the road.
Balthazar tried to explain to Izumi that the Lord's Mansion was more comfortable than the ordinary residents of the lower city, but Izumi insisted on not backing down, and in the end the Marquis was defeated.
"Well, you can stay wherever you want. But if there's anything you have to tell me. ”
Quan smiled: "I really have something to trouble you, uncle." ”
This uncle was very useful to Balthazar, and although he was still single, he was very fond of children—otherwise he wouldn't be much closer to Electrolux than the others—especially since it was the child of his cousin, whom he had always loved.
"My mountain area needs to be cleaned up, and I want you to borrow some help." Now that there are many things, the spring is almost unable to turn, and if you can find someone to help, you naturally have to find it, and Balthazar has a ready-made manpower here, and there is no need to spend money, so the spring will naturally not be polite.
Although he didn't know what the newly found little nephew was going to do when he bought Kuai Mountain, Balthazar still readily agreed to borrow without asking.
He shook the rattle, summoned the butler, and said to Izumi, "Whether it is a person or a thing, tell him what you need, and he will arrange it." ”
Izumi thanked him, and then Balthazar said that he had business to attend to, and they left the study and went outside to discuss.
Izumi told the butler that he needed farmers who could install fences, repair villas, and plant fruit trees, as well as magicians of the wood system.
The big calculation of the spring is like this, first of all, he wants to fence the mountain, so that no one will enter casually, and it will be more convenient for him to do something with the elves in the future, and in the middle he also wants to rebuild and repair the old villa, so that he can also have an extra place to live, and then the farmers will naturally help him transplant the seedlings, and the magician is invited to give birth to the seedlings.
The current seedlings are still too small to be transplanted, but their time is only a month, and then they don't know what is suitable to come back, so Izumi naturally has to hurry up to solve this matter, so the seedlings are born to make them stronger, and the survival rate after transplanting is naturally greater.
After listening to this, the housekeeper said that the previous ones were easy to say, and only the wood-based magicians were a little difficult.
"Don't know what level of mage you need?" To be Balthazar's confidant, the butler is very good at observing words and feelings, and after discovering that the Marquis is interested in Izumi, Electrolux also follows Izumi from time to time, he naturally behaves more respectfully.
I really don't know about this spring, the old magician's wood magic can make a dead wood spring with a simple gesture, but he only has a first order, and he is obviously not a suitable comparison.
So he threw the question at Electrolux, who looked very powerful: "Electrolux, what level of wood-based magic can speed up the growth of plants?" ”
"Above the third order is fine." The magic that accelerates the growth of plants is not very advanced magic, middle and high-level wood magicians will do this trick, it is just the size of the range of casting, Electrolux thought for a moment, and added: "If you want to have a good effect, it is best to ask for a fourth order or above." ”
The steward said yes, and then began to discuss with Izumi the number of craftsmen and farmers.
Izumi discussed with him for a while, and found that the butler was Balthazar's right-hand man, and that he could quickly give the number of craftsmen needed by simply stating the size of the mountain and the situation of the villa, and even more reasonably simple after Izumi had simply drawn a simplified version of the plan he had spent the morning making.
The great spring is going to applaud him.
The housekeeper said that it was just a small mountain bag, and any manor under the name of the Marquis was much more complicated than this, and it was really easy to solve.
After determining how many people were needed, the housekeeper said, "Please give me a day, and I will let these people report to the house tomorrow." ”
"No, you don't have to come to my house." Quan hurriedly shook his head, if he came to his house, it would be too eye-catching, "You can directly send them to the mountains to do things in the name of your uncle, and I will pay for the materials you need." ”
Uncle? The butler grasped the title very accurately, and the family tree of Redmoines turned around in his mind, and the Marquis did not have a sister, and the only people who would call him that were the children of that one——!!!
The butler who suddenly understood what kind of person this little child was, was shocked, but did not show it, but said respectfully: "Lord Marquis has already said that you can tell me whatever you need, where can you pay for it, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of this." ”
Originally, the housekeeper planned to arrange this matter for his youngest son to do, which could be regarded as giving him a chance to exercise, but now he changed his mind, and he had to come forward in person, and he couldn't be sloppy.
The hands-on butler soon gathered enough manpower the next day, as he said, and began to make a big splash on the mountain behind the spring, and there was a housekeeper to supervise it personally, and soon the whole Corot knew that this mountain had become the property of the Marquis, and the back mountain, where there were children running to play, was now automatically listed as a forbidden place by the nearby residents, and their children were no longer allowed to go up.
However, in a few days, under the hard work of the craftsmen, the entire periphery of the back mountain was enclosed, and it was not the kind of barbed wire-like fence that Quan originally intended to use, but a more sturdy and beautiful wrought iron fence, with a height of more than two meters and spikes on it, although it could not stop the professional strong, but the ordinary people were absolutely no problem.
