Volume 1 Outpost County Chapter 1 Magical Apprentice Assessment
The harsh sunlight shone into the house, and the owner of the castle, who was lying on the bed with a magnificent curtain, covered his eyes with a heavy quilt.
"The alarm hasn't gone off yet?" Half-asleep, Alan stretched out his arm and groped for a while, but unfortunately only touched a beautiful candlestick with tassels.
The person who was shrunk under the quilt scolded twice, "Damn! β
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, get up quickly!" A slightly hoarse female voice came in from outside the door.
Alan rolled over and covered his ears with the quilt.
With a "bang", two valuable carved solid wood doors were knocked open, and the stout figure blocked all the light behind him, and the cold autumn wind hit, and the temperature in the house dropped sharply.
Alan sat up lazily from the bed and said dissatisfiedly: "I said eldest sister, can you knock on the door next time?" Also, can you stop wearing this dress in the future? β
Dina, who was dressed in a maid's suit, was more than 1.9 meters tall, her muscles were bulging high, and she hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and said, "Second Young Master, how can I do it without clothes, your request is too much." β
Dina held her blushing round face with both hands, two feet of at least forty-five yards, and the girl kept stomping on the smooth floor like a spring, "Bang Bang Bang!" "The sound is endless.
"I mean maid outfits, not no clothes." Alan shrugged his head and walked under the bed, he really didn't want to dwell on this problem anymore, so he had no choice but to take off the silk pajamas on his body and change into a black dress by himself.
Dina's big face was slightly red, and her two big hands blocked her eyes, but there was such a big slit in the middle, and she pretended to be shy: "Second Young Master, you are really not ashamed, you actually changed your clothes in front of others, and you are ashamed of others, but Second Young Master, your body is really strong!" β
Alan stood in front of the mirror, speechless.
Can I be stronger than you no matter how strong I am?
Dina saw Alan standing in front of the mirror and began to be in a daze again, and said anxiously: "By the way, today the Duke invited the kingdom enshrined mage to come to the assessment, did you forget it again?" β
"Oh, got it."
Dina looked at the perfunctory face of her second young master, and sighed helplessly.
In the past, the second young master was not like this, since a serious illness a few days ago, it seems that he has changed as a person, and he doesn't like to go out and walk around, he locks himself in a room every day and reads books all day long, and in the evening, he will play some incomprehensible boxing skills, and he still mutters some words that he doesn't understand, and even today is such an important day that he has forgotten, hasn't the second young master dreamed of becoming a noble magician since he was a child?
Seeing that Dina's face was a little unnatural, Alan thought that he had made something out of the ordinary, and hurriedly waved her out.
After Dina walked out, Eren stood in front of the mirror again, speechless for a long time.
The face, still the handsome face, the body, the same body.
It's a pity that the reality is not the reality that I am familiar with.
In the bedroom of at least 300 square meters, the intricately carved fireplace, several rococo-style oil paintings hanging on the wall, as well as tableware made of sterling silver, and the infectious sculpture on the corner stove, all show the nobility of the owner's identity.
It's a pity that there is everything in the house, that is, there is no WIFI, no mobile phones, no computers, no inflatablesγγγγγγγ Basketball.
Once as a gunner of an international mercenary, Alan was hit in the face by a cannonball during a combat mission deep into the rear of the enemy, and in the next second, he came to this other world called the continent of San Cassis and became the son of the duke of the Locke Kingdom.
A soldier who received a modern education has been transformed into a noble son who lives in an ancient castle.
At this time, although Alan owned a huge castle and a large fiefdom, he did not have the slightest affection for this otherworldly continent, and prayed every day to return to that familiar earth.
It's a pity that the Supreme Father, who everyone in the Rock Kingdom believes, did not look at him in the sky, and never responded to him, another world is still this other world, the son of the duke is still the son of the duke.
Allen went to join the army before finishing college, although his education level is not high, but he has not watched less movies, and he has heard many people say that the castle and the maid are the best match.
The castle is there, and of course the maid is there.
It's a pity that Dina, the only maid, is a wasteland barbarian like a miniature Hulk, usually lazier than his master, and she alone can eat the rations of eight people.
Even the old butler of the castle was a raunchy old man, who chattered like a ghost and rarely showed up every day.
However, what made Allen extremely depressed the most was that his fiefdom outpost county was full of people, and it was also barren comparable to the national A-level poor township, each household was poorer than the other, there was no poorest, only poorer.
Allen felt that he was not like a second-generation official who was a powerful man, but a poor man.
Dina's urging voice came from outside the house again, and Alan hurriedly ran out, there was no extra money in the castle to buy another door.
Alan and Dina walked side by side in the huge castle, and the master and servant sighed all the way.
Dina sighed because she was becoming more and more uncertain about her second young master's temperament.
If it were in the past, if there was a noble magician master to visit, the second young master would definitely dress up carefully, and his excitement was beyond words.
But now, the second young master just casually changed into a shabby dress, sighed all the way, and looked around at the decorations like a thief, not at all like a top nobleman in the kingdom.
And Alan sighed, just because he had been observing for several days, and there was not much value in the castle at all, and he originally wanted to sell some of them, so that life would be better when the time came.
The castle is a long time ago, the high walls are covered with vines, some even burrow into the windows, in the silence of the castle, only the rustle of the breeze blowing the curtains, in the daytime it looks a little gloomy, the ornate candlesticks and silver decorations, do not match at all.
Every time he walked in the huge castle, Alan felt an inexplicable palpitation, as if there would always be a pair of eyes watching in some dark corner.
When the master and servant walked through the gate, the guests had been waiting for a long time.
As a kingdom court mage, Austin's silver hair is meticulously groomed, even after a night of driving, the black magic robe does not have the slightest wrinkles, and the slightly majestic facial features set off the calm of this sixty-year-old magician.
"Austin, the senior magician of the fire department, greets His Excellency the Baron, and brings the blessing of the Duke from afar." Austin took off his hat and saluted, but his brow furrowed slightly, revealing that his heart was not as respectful as he spoke.
Alan pouted, cheap dad blessing in the royal city? Fool it!
Seeing that Alan didn't return the salute immediately, Austin frowned even deeper and coughed slightly.
Alan just remembered to return the salute, and was just about to raise his right arm to shake hands with the other party, thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he hurriedly raised his hands and clenched his fists, looking like Brother Song, a good man who has been admired for a long time.
Austin's face was inexplicable, and even the two companions behind him couldn't help but shake their heads.
It seems that the rumors of the kingdom are true, and the youngest son of the Duke is really a waste material who does not learn and has no skills.
Dina, who was behind her, slapped Allen in the back with her thick fingers.
Alan was numb, he really didn't understand this kind of Western aristocratic etiquette, so he had to turn his head and look at his personal maid with some embarrassment.
Not to mention that Dina is a senior maid who serves nobles professionally, and she has not embarrassed her master at all.
After seeing her laugh heroically, she stepped forward with two long (thick) legs, hugged Austin's shoulders, and rubbed the old magician's face with two strong breasts, and said very enthusiastically: "Old Dong, uh, old magician, let's go into the house and say, I personally slaughtered a saro beast a few days ago, leaving the fattest large intestine, and today I will let you taste Nana's craftsmanship." β
Looking up at the sturdy maid who was a head taller than herself, Austin had a chill on her face.
Using his staff to slap off the big hand on his shoulder, Austin said embarrassedly: "We have already eaten, but now the test is important, Baron Allen, why don't we do it now." β
Every year, a court mage is sent out of the royal city to test their magical cultivation in the fiefdom of the royal children, and this year it was Austin's turn.
The palace worships the mage every year, and the Baron Allen in front of him can't pass it every year, Austin doesn't have any expectations for the waste young son of the grand duke's family at all, and only wants to end this farce as soon as possible and return to the comfortable royal city as soon as possible.
Everything here disgusted the pampered Austin.
The barren living conditions, the dilapidated castle, the rude maid, and the master who did not know the etiquette all made it difficult for the noble magician to get used to.
Glancing at his companion on the right-hand side behind him, Austin continued: "This is my junior apprentice Dick, he is a junior magician of the water system, it is up to him to test His Excellency the Baron, as long as he defeats him, Baron Allen can obtain the title of magic apprentice." β
Dina interjected puzzled and asked, "Isn't it a test of mana cultivation and meditation speed, how did it turn into a battle?" β
Austin didn't elaborate.
This arrangement was just a temporary idea for him, according to the previous rules, it was true that he had to test his magic cultivation and meditation, but he didn't want to waste so much time, he just wanted to teach this little baron who didn't know etiquette a lesson, even if the little baron's father was now powerful in the kingdom.
But which nobleman didn't know, the Duke no longer cared about this remote waste son.
Allen, who didn't know that he was being tricked, asked stupidly, "Is it okay to defeat your apprentice?" β
Austin nodded.
Dina threw her master an encouraging look and said, "Second Young Master, come on, if you become a magic apprentice, you will definitely be called back to the royal city by the Duke." β
Alan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, to be honest, he didn't care if he couldn't go back to the royal city, although his fief bordered the Savage Ancient Plains, and he was still at risk of being attacked by the barbarians of the Wasteland at any time, but at least the Emperor was far away, and no one could take care of him, except for Dina, oh yes, and the old butler in the ancient castle who was chattering.
Alan was a little frustrated, because it suddenly occurred to him that in addition to him, there were only two living people in the castle, and they could still control him.
Seeing that her master did not have the slightest fighting spirit, Dina shouted again: "Second Young Master, if you win, the Magic Association of the Holy See will release magic research funds every month." β
"How many?" Alan's eyes lit up.
"Ten gold coins!"
"Just kill him?" Alan gestured to Dick, who was also wearing magical robes.
The strict old mage Austin couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a low but majestic voice: "Pay attention to your identity, you are a gentleman, not a rogue. β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll say it again!" Alan hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "him, there will be ten gold coins for me every month, right?" β
Austin: "γγγγγγγγγγγγ β
Alan squeezed his fists and looked at Dick with a green face with bad intentions.
You must know that ten gold coins is half a year's expenses for a civilian, as long as you turn over the magic apprentice in front of you, at least Dina's monthly food expenses will be settled.
Dick looked at the nobleman in front of him with obvious violent characteristics, and panicked for no reason.
