Chapter 12: The Inheritance of 10,000 Years Ago
"Hehe, you're welcome, oh, by the way, Uncle Vinnock, I've booked the barbed wire with the dwarves, and I'll be fooled next time I can bring a few more silver coins and ale." Arthur grabbed a piece of bread and broke it off and stuffed it into his mouth as he spoke.
Vinnock smiled and looked up, with Arthur's help in taking such a trip, he might have saved a lot of silver coins, and couldn't help but look back at his other boy, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ade was the eldest son in the family, and was supposed to inherit the family business, but when Serena got married and Vik grew up, Vinok had planned to let Ade take on the responsibility of continuing the tradition of yeoman farming.
But Ade's talent is too outstanding, and his heart is not like being able to stay at home and farm honestly, which leaves Uncle Vinock with a problem, who will inherit this family in the future.
Needless to say, Serena, no matter how bad a woman from a homesteader family is, she will marry a yeoman farmer, some of the conditions are excellent, and she will marry with the nobles, and some strong yeoman families will not be weaker than the local nobles.
Of the three children, only Vic remains, but this child is different, compared to his brother Ade's recklessness, Vic is more attentive and intelligent, and he also grew up with Arthur.
Only Nock learned Arthur's extraordinary wisdom.
"It would be great if Serena could marry Arthur and the lands of the two families would be merged." Looking at Arthur, who was living alone, both Vinok and Ledna had this idea.
But seeing their daughter's attitude recently, they began to pay attention to it again.
It's not that Arthur doesn't know this, he just pretends not to know, Serena is indeed quite beautiful in appearance, even if not as good as a half-goblin, but she definitely swept 90% of the women in the town.
But the problem is, they know each other too well!
"This is no longer a problem of sister control, like taking a daughter as a daughter-in-law." Arthur had to pretend to be stupid in this regard, lest he not know when he had already become a son-in-law.
Hossehai swept a plate of vegetables into his mouth and wiped his mouth contentedly, while Arthur fumbled with the remaining beans on the plate.
"What do you think?" Adelen returned, but his good brother's face was very familiar, only if there was something in his heart, Arthur would show this appearance, and this is usually a big thing, ordinary mischief and sabotage, a small idea, there is no need for this expression at all.
"Have you ever heard of wizards?" Arthur had read Uncle Vinnock's collection of books, and he was sure that there was no record of wizards in them.
"Samurai? Isn't that the story you've told me in the past, the guys who mess up and cut their stomachs. Ade gestured with his knife and fork as he spoke, until he saw his mother's big raised hand, and then he remembered that it was still at the dinner table.
“…… It's a wizard, it's not a samurai, forget it, I shouldn't put those two words together. Arthur now regretted the little stories he had told back then, and apparently thought that he could not get any useful information from Kauade.
"Wizards? I remember seeing it once in the college's library. ”
Just as Arthur was about to give up and tidy up the dishes and help Aunt Redna finish washing, Serena, who had been sitting by the side and had been silent, spoke.
"Huh? You know? Arthur had planned to find an opportunity to ask the half-goblins, but he didn't expect to be able to provide information to himself in front of him.
"It's just a little bit of a record, and I don't mention much...... Serena looked at Arthur, who was a little excited, her face was slightly red, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, looking very happy.
The teaching of yeoman farmers and aristocrats is usually family-oriented, especially those high-end systems that involve inheritance, and there is a tradition of passing on to men rather than women.
However, as a woman in these families, she can not just be illiterate, except for a few gifted children, who will hire teachers to educate, most of the girls in the family who have the conditions will be sent to nearby colleges for teaching.
The same goes for Serena and Vic, who also attend the town's academy during the day, unlike her younger brother, who mostly studies basic education such as writing.
In addition to ceremonial and other courses, these faculties also teach a variety of knowledge that has been passed down from the world, such as history, geography, and theology.
There is a library in the college, which may not be very profound, but it is better than a large number, and every year homesteaders and aristocratic families copy and donate their unimportant collections to the college.
So from a certain point of view, Serena does know more and more comprehensive information than both Ade and Arthur.
"Wizards, it is said to be an ancient profession inherited 10,000 years ago, but after the abyss invasion, the records about them in the main world disappeared, and the book I found was a record of the history before the abyss invasion, and the content was very ancient, if it wasn't for the research work that was generated by the monsters, I wouldn't have found that book."
Serena recounted what she knew, not much, but enough for Arthur to solve some of the puzzles.
"I see, 10,000 years ago, no wonder my family's collection didn't mention them." Arthur's books in the house only record the invasion of the Abyss at the farthest afarth.
Not to mention the Ade family, almost all of them are nearly a hundred years old, and there are no too old records at all.
Since it was a profession from 10,000 years ago, it was no wonder that the Demon Lords knew about them, and now it seems that this profession has not been broken, and an ancient heritage that can use mystical curses and can make even demons feel stingy, which really piqued Arthur's interest.
"Thank you, Serena, for helping me a lot, you can keep this bag of preserved fruits and eat it."
Arthur, who was happy, touched his waist and put it in Serena's hand and was about to leave, he wanted to continue to ask the archdemon for verification, he had a hunch that this might be the key to making him a real spellcaster.
Serena didn't have long to be happy, only to see Arthur trotting away with a cigarette, kicking his feet angrily, and when he saw the bag of preserved fruit in his hand, he scolded directly.
"Bad fellow, isn't this my mother's preserved fruit? What a scoundrel to thank me with my stuff! ”
The voice could not reach Ard's house, let alone reach Arthur's ears, and only the parents of Vinnock and Redna sighed in their hearts, their daughter was still too young to even grasp the heart of a man.
"Ahh Is it a cold? With a sneeze, Arthur opened the door, and without saying a word, he pulled out the demon summoning book and read the awkward real name!
"Damn, won't you be able to talk properly?" The angry demon was cast out of the summoning book, his real name was summoning, and it wasn't as rosy as it sounded.
