After lunch.

Maggie was diligent in cleaning up the plates, and her thin body was as busy as an elf.

"Let me come, Maggie, you go take a nap, and in the afternoon you have to train with Lord Roma, remember to behave well in the training session. "Mrs. Harriet is very fond of little Maggie, she has no daughter, and she really thinks of little Maggie who lives at home as her own daughter.

Because Mrs. Harriet spoke so quickly, Maggie could only understand a few snake words, such as "Take a nap", "Master Rom", and "Training".

But she was clever enough to guess what Mrs. Harriet meant, and hurriedly replied in snake letters: "Lord Roma trains easily, Maggie is happy, three meals!

Even talk and make gestures, so that the exchange can be completed smoothly.

Mrs. Harriet smiled, her eyes misty: "This was not the case in Flower Town in the past, when we could only eat two meals a day, and in winter, we only ate one meal a day. It was the lord who brought everything and made Flower Town great, and now we can all eat three tons of food a day. ”

In the era of scarcity of materials, two meals a day were the mainstream of the common people, and three meals were the standard for the aristocracy.

When Maggie was in the Eagle Kingdom, she lived in the countryside and ate two meals a day with her family. After coming to Flower Town, it is already a great happiness to be able to eat three meals a day.

She was still young and was not assigned farm work, and all she needed to do every day was to attend training classes and women's red classes. In the training class, some fists and feet are taught, and in the women's red class, dyers and spinners among the serfs are invited to teach the skills of printing, dyeing and weaving.

Maggie studied very seriously.

Because she knows that skills are very precious, and in her hometown, it costs a lot of money to learn a craft before someone is willing to teach it.

Rather than the illusory prospect of working hard and cultivating a fighting spirit, she would rather become a spinner.

When she finished her class and returned to Mrs. Harriet's house, where she was boarding, dinner was just about to begin. It's just that compared to the past, the atmosphere at home seems to be a little serious.

Harriet's husband sat on the bench with a solemn expression.

Mrs. Harriet's son and daughter-in-law, who had already separated from the family, also rushed over.

It wasn't until the bread and seafood were served that Maggie learned what day it was through Harriet's daughter-in-law's comparison.

Mr. and Mrs. Harriet once had a young daughter, but she fell ill during the winter and died three years ago. When he died, he was only a little older than Maggie.

This is also the reason why the Harriets are willing to take Maggie into the house.

The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Harriet even invited the town's Lord Grandet to their home. With the help of Grande, communicate with Maggie: "Maggie, Mrs. Harriet, I want to form a contract mother and daughter with you. ”

"Ah......h

Maggie was caught off guard and didn't know how to get back.

Old Grande said gently: "The past has happened, don't think about it, now that you have come to Flower Town, your family is dead." It's better to form a contract mother and daughter with Mrs. Harriet, and they can help you redeem the serf contract and restore your status as a freeman. ”

This is great news.

The Harriet family runs the town's grocery store, eats and wears well, and belongs to a wealthy group of people. With them, Maggie knew she would have a bright future.

But somehow, she was vaguely resistant: "Lord Grande, I have relatives...... I also have an older sister. ”

Old Grandet frowned, he checked Maggie's identity information, and found that there were no relatives among these serfs. According to Maggie's own account, both of her parents were killed by mercenaries.

"You have a sister? Where is she? Why didn't you say it before?"

"I ...... My sister left home a few years ago, and she said she would come back to me when she learned magic...... My sister will come back to me. ”

Learning magic?

Could it be that he was chosen by a certain Mr. Truth to become an apprentice in magic?

This thought flashed, and old Grandet didn't care, even if Maggie's sister became a magician, it was almost impossible to come to Coral Island, thousands of miles away, to find her sister.

Moreover.

Maybe he died in an explosion a long time ago, and in the magician industry, the probability of an explosion is still quite large.

He just thought that Maggie was a little thin-skinned and embarrassed, so he said that she should think about it for a few days. Harriet's family did not mention it again, and continued to maintain the previous atmosphere.

It's just that Maggie couldn't calm down for a long time.

......

Meanwhile.

Thousands of miles away, the Eagle Kingdom is in the midst of war.

The Iron Ridge Kingdom invaded in a big way, and the Eagle Kingdom was forced to resist, and the Dragon Knights roamed around to support the battlefield. On the other side, in the hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom, the army of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is like locusts crossing the border, desperately raiding the castles on the coastline and border, plundering all kinds of wealth and minerals.

Against the backdrop of the war, a warship flying a red tulip flag slowly approached the port. On the lighthouse of the port, the red tulip flag is also hoisted.

Go without saying.

Here is naturally the tulip family, occupying a bridgehead on the coastline of the Eagle Kingdom.

There have long been servants of the Tulip family, and the servants of the fleet converge and sort out the goods, all of which are specialties of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. While fighting and robbing, trading and smuggling are not delayed. The entire seaport is full of busy loading, unloading and transporting people, running non-stop.

"This is the Tulip family's ship?" asked a female mercenary with a scarf in a dilapidated tavern on the docks, looking out the window with a wine glass.

She spoke in the wind language.

Opposite her, there was a thief-eyed fellow, greedily glanced at the female mercenary's bulging chest strangled by leather armor, and replied obscenely: "Of course, this dock and most of the castles around it have been occupied by William Li, the sword saint of the waves, and the red tulip has become a nightmare for many nobles." ”

"William Lee's fleet has been engaged in slave trafficking?"

"Hehe, the Sapphire people are a bunch of serf traders, and it's strange not to trade slaves. ”

"When will the fleet return?"

"It depends on how fast you mercenaries can capture serfs, and if you are fast, maybe you will be able to sell a batch of serfs back this month. ”

"You're rewarded. The mercenary flicked her fingers into the air, and a silver glittering silver coin flew into the air in a whirlwind, and then fell on the table.

She didn't look back and got up to leave.

The thief-eyed guy reached out and held down the silver coin, licked his lips, picked it up greedily, held it in the palm of his hand, and smiled brightly: "This mercenary, if you still need news, just come to the old Ford Tavern to find me with three ears...... Hey, why did they suddenly disappear?"

When he looked up, there was still the mercenary in the tavern.

But he didn't care, he proudly touched the silver coin in his palm, and he could earn a silver coin in a few words, and this business was demanding.
