Chapter 54: Barrett's Request
The benevolent lord intends to build a fortress in the Westspring Fortress to protect the entire Western Wilderness from the orcs! The news spread throughout the Wild West almost overnight, and people talked about it almost all day long. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I will hand over the City of Angels to you, and from now on, any order you give will be related to everything to the people of the entire Western Wilderness!" Stretching, Xiao Yi said to Edric, who was sitting behind his desk.
"We must not slack off in the reception of refugees, these people are the foundation of our foothold in this world, and with them, we can face any difficulties head-on!"
"I see, sir!" Edrick replied solemnly while looking at Xiao Yi's list of precautions.
Patting his head, Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Look at me, compared to me, you who owned a city before will definitely do better than me." ā
Xiao Yi is not afraid that Edrik will do anything unfavorable to him, although the system is a little unreliable, but in terms of loyalty, he has always done well, and he is not the kind of cruel person who will make his subordinates deviate.
"Alright! It's up to you! I'm going to see what the lovely Alice is up to, and I'm finally able to steal a little lazy! Xiao Yi, who had temporarily gotten rid of government affairs, walked out of the room with a smile in Edric's helpless gaze.
The approachable nodding to the waiters who saluted him, looking at these more and more well-behaved waiters, Xiao Yi took a deep breath.
Something called power satisfied him, and he enjoyed more and more this aristocratic life in the Western Middle Ages.
All this is due to Barrett, although he is still a servant of the descendants of magicians who temporarily live here, but the old man who has received a strict aristocratic education, probably out of gratitude, took the initiative to take over the etiquette education of the castle.
In addition to teaching Alice on weekdays, most of the rest of the time, he will cooperate with the Auston butler to conduct etiquette training for the servants in the castle.
In his opinion, these waiters, who were mostly from the countryside, were rude, inferior and so on, making them almost as rude as the gnolls! Such a blessed castle should not be defiled by such a person!
Just walked to the door of the room specially assigned to Alice and Barrett, Xiao Yi saw the straight little card standing outside the door, this thin child has recently gained some weight, and his little face is also a little ruddy.
After seeing Xiao Yi, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, showing a very aggrieved look.
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yi felt a trace of helplessness for the child of his captain's lover. Look at this little guy is skinny and shy, but who knows, he is almost a saboteur!
And likes to instigate Alice to play a game of elopement with a knight with him! After an hour-long disappearance of Alice, the bald old servant has listed the little guy as dangerous!
If it weren't for Sharif's face, old Barrett would probably take him to feed the snowflakes! Xuehua is a snow-white dire wolf given to Alice by Xiao Yi.
"What did you do again!" Xiao Yi covered his forehead.
Because Sherif still had some ulterior things with Diya in the end, Xiao Yi could no longer use his confidant's favorite woman as a maid, so Deya was promoted to one of the castle's chief maids, responsible for food safety and procurement in the kitchen.
Usually Diya is very busy, and Sherif stays in the barracks for a long time, so little Carry, as Alice's attendant, stays here for a long time with old Barrett, this naughty little guy is often punished for making mistakes.
Sneaking a look inside, he saw that the hateful old guy was training Miss Alice etiquette at the same time, and he didn't forget to pay attention to his movements, so he pouted at Xiao Yi and didn't speak.
Reaching out and rubbing the little one's head, making his brown hair look like a chicken coop, he walked into the house.
Nodding at Xiao Yi, Barrett said to Alice: "That's all for today, you have to remember that your steps are still too big, this must be remembered." Go play with Kari and remember! You can't run out of the castle! ā
"Oh!" Alice cheered, hugged Xiao Yi without a lady's image, and shouted, "Xuehua, let's go!" ā
As he spoke, he ran out of the room like a gust of wind, and the corners of Barrett's eyes jumped. The white dire wolf, who had been lying on the carpet in front of the chair, stood up and shook off the clean and fragrant hair that had been washed, shook the braids on his head tied into a bow with a red band, and left a lot of dog hair to follow Alice closely.
sighed helplessly, cleaned up the hair on the chair, invited Xiao Yi to take a seat, and served a pot of hot milk, poured it for Xiao Yi before saying, "Dear adults, you spoil these children too much." ā
"Child, there's nothing wrong with being naughty," Xiao Yi asked after taking a sip of milk, "I found that you seem to have something to say to me all the time, but you are very hesitant, what makes you so entangled?" My friend. ā
Smiling awkwardly, Old Barrett said uncomfortably under Xiao Yi's gaze: "Honorable lord, you know that Miss Alice's grandfather, my master is a great magician. ā
Speaking of this, he stopped, and Xiao Yi had to leak a serious listening expression.
"And because of the orcs, Miss Alice didn't become a magician under the guidance of my master, so ......"
Speaking of which, Barrett seems a little hard to say. But Xiao Yi understood what he meant, and pointed to himself in surprise and said, "You want me to teach Alice to learn magic?" Are you kidding! ā
Are you kidding! If you weren't for the system, you wouldn't know how to use magic, although after the magic tower was established, there were many mages in it to practice, but it was magic in Hero Invincible! Is it for Alice to be a hero?
"I know it's a very rude request." After Xiao Yi said his thoughts, Barrett was not so embarrassed, he said seriously: "We were in too much of a hurry when we left, and we didn't bring the secret method of cultivation, but I don't want Miss Alice to become an ordinary aristocratic lady and then go through her life without doing anything!" ā
The old man said firmly, "Although I am only an old servant, I hereby swear to the honor of the Azula family, if you are willing to teach Miss Alice, then I am willing to serve you with the rest of my life, and I will be faithful." ā
Well, Barrett's words made Xiao Yi a little embarrassed, but he was very moved, although the old man was not a politician, but he had also managed a huge magic tower before, and he must have some management experience.
This can be seen from the current good state of the castle, the Auston steward who was born in a civilian family does not have such ability, and basically Barrett is helping him take care of the castle.
Secondly, as a servant of a magician, his knowledge must be very broad, after all, the environment he is in and his long age are all factors that are more precious to him than others.
In the past, he simply asked him for something, because Xiao Yi couldn't fully trust him, but if Xiao Yi became Alice's teacher, everything would be different. Even without Barrett's oath!
