Volume 1 Outpost County Chapter 11 The Proud Earl

Allen believes that as a nobleman, it is his birthright and sacrosanct to eat and sleep when he is full, and to continue to eat when he wakes up.

But when a thin old man, holding up a cane, and forcing you to sleep, is not such a good thing.

"Keep reading me, read all the books, and read whichever one will make you sleep faster."

From the castle came the roar of the old butler Lacey.

Alan held a copy of "General History of the Continent" and sat upright in the small garden, like a primary school student, his eyes dull and drowsy.

Old Lacey's already obscene face was burned off by a magical blast of several beards and hairs, just like a malnourished Uncle KFC.

Alan asked helplessly: "Old fellow, I know that I get sleepy when I read a book, and I can't help meditating when I fall asleep, but I can't release magic at all, even if I accumulate mana, it's useless." ”

"I don't know which god is blind and blesses an ignorant guy like you." Old Lacey glared at Alan and continued, "A high-level magician, you can accumulate a full body of mana by meditating for three days in a row, understand?" ”

"I don't understand." Alan rolled his eyes.

"Stupid, you've been meditating for five days, do you know what it means to meditate for five days in a row without exceeding your limit?"

"Does that mean I can sleep better than the average person?" Alan shrugged his shoulders and continued, "That's a, my title as a magic apprentice is all made with bare arms and fists. ”

After saying that, Alan looked smug.

Old Lacey stared at him with eyes as if he was about to breathe fire, and after half a sigh, he took out a crystal with multicolored light from his bosom and handed it over.

The crystal is only the size of half a palm, showing a dazzling light, and the whole is like a shuttle-like shape.

After Alan took the crystal, he found that the color of the crystal had changed to black and blue, and only the lower half was glowing, and the upper half was transparent.

"What the hell is this?"

Old Lacey gently smashed Allen's head with his cane, and asked incredulously, "You have been in the royal city for so long, and you don't even know the magic test crystal?" ”

"Dry hair?"

Old Lacey snatched the crystal over and said: "Just now the crystal is close to you, showing black and blue, which means that the magic element in your body is the fire system, the fire system of the black dragon in the other world, and the orthodox water system, and the height of the light represents the degree of magic power in your body." ”

Alan said happily: "Oh, then I'm still a dual-line magician, both fire and water, it sounds scary." ”

Most of the magicians who have been famous for a long time in the St. Cassis Continent practice two systems of magic, but most of the genealogies cultivated by the two lineages are the same, those who cultivate the water system may also cultivate the ice system, and those who practice space magic may also understand a little bit of great prophecy, but no one has ever cultivated both water and fire at the same time, unless this magician is tired of living tricks and dying.

"Fart!" Old Lacey felt that he was going to be angry for a lifetime for a while, and continued with disdain: "The fire system should normally be red, because you are an idiot who ate the egg of the evil dragon, and it is the fire system, not the fire system, the branch of the fire system, and you have received water magic cultivation since you were a child, so there are two magic elements in your body for the time being, and it won't be long before the fire system in your body, that is, the fire magic power of the other world will dissipate in your body, understand?" ”

"Old guy, you talk so much nonsense, I'm different and I still can't release any spells."

Lacey said leisurely, "I just want to know how high your mental power and mana storage level are now. ”

"Even if I have the same spiritual power as the Holy Rank now, and I can't cast spells, isn't it still useless?"

"No, who said it was useless!"

Alan asked suspiciously, "What's the use?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Old Lacey said inscrutablely: "It looks scary! ”

"Damn!" Alan rolled his eyes, picked up the book and prepared to go back to sleep, which is to meditate.

However, before going to sleep, Alan swept the magic test crystal with the corner of his eye, and found that the crystal not only glowed as a whole, but also the light was colorful, representing a variety of genealogies.

Perhaps noticing Allen's gaze, the old butler patted the magic test crystal in his arms unnaturally.

The pig-like life lasted until the fifth day, and Allen, who was almost driven crazy by being forced to sleep every day, finally saw that the magic test crystal stayed until two-thirds of the stage, and no longer rose, and finally ended his pig-like life.

"What stage does this mean?" Alan asked, yawning.

"Demons... Magician! "Old Lacey, like Alzheimer's, looked fixedly at the magic test crystal.

"It's hairy!" Alan muttered quietly and then asked lazily, "By the way, what is the limit of this crystal?" ”

"Magister, you can't test higher than Magister, why are you asking this?" Old Lacey took the Magic Test Crystal into her arms.

"Nothing, just ask." Alan glanced at Old Lacey with an inexplicable expression.

He saw that before the crystal was placed in Old Rysie's arms, it burst out again with colorful light, and the light filled the whole crystal.

"By the way, every time I meditate, what happens to a golden dragon?"

Old Lacey did not reply, but looked in the direction of the gate of the castle and sneered silently.

Alan followed his gaze and realized that at some point, dozens of heavily armed knights were crowded outside the gate.

The full-body armor made of stainless steel, the knight's giant sword that shimmered with coldness, the war horse draped all over the body, and a golden battle flag all reveal that this is a well-trained cavalry team.

Even when he approached the castle, Alan didn't find out.

"Knights of the Holy See?" Alan suddenly remembered that Yorkshire had told him before that it seemed that the top brass of the Papal Pagan Crusade Legion were coming to Outpost County in the next few days and were going to stay in the castle temporarily.

"You're not going to open the door to greet you?" The old god Lacey sat on the stone bench in the garden and asked with a smile: "It's all the high-ranking people of the Holy See who come, and it's not what a nobleman should do to keep guests out." ”

Alan grinned and sat down next to him, not speaking, looking at Wood, who was hurrying over, and whispering something to the leading knight.

The two men may have had some kind of argument, and the leading knight lifted his visor, jumped off his horse, and slashed the chains in the middle of the castle gate with a sword.

Wood's face changed drastically, dozens of knights on horseback rushed into the castle, and when they reached the garden where Eren was, all the horsemen stood up and stopped their formations.

The knight who split the gate of the castle followed, as if entering his own back garden, strolling leisurely and looking at the giant trees in the castle, and then sat opposite Alan and Lacey, put the knight's helmet on the stone table, and looked at Alan with a sneer.

"My name is Thackeray, Deputy Head of the Knights of the Cathar Order, Chief of Staff of the Holy See Raiders." Thackeray, who has blond hair, and his falcon-like eyes swept over Alan and the old butler one by one, and his thick figure with a golden body armor made him even more heroic.

Alan held out three fingers and shook them in front of Thackeray.

Old Lacey, who heard the other party's self-declaration home, frowned and stared at Thackeray's face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Thackeray looked puzzled.

"Three gold coins." Alan pointed to the castle gates.

"Huh!" Thackeray's eyes were full of mockery, flicking the dust that didn't exist on the armor, and said with a sneer: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm still an earl, Baron Allen, didn't Your Excellency the Grand Duke teach you manners?" ”

The knights on horseback laughed loudly, and they did their best to perform with Thackeray's performance.

Allen looked at these third-rate actors and was speechless.

Thackeray pointed to his handsome face and continued: "Like you, I also have a grand ducal father, my father, Grand Duke Gonzalez of the Duchy of Lotral, have you heard of it?" ”

"Can you speak in a simpler way? You're not an actor! Alan shook his head speechlessly, and now he also understood why the knight with the title of earl on the other side had such a strong hostility towards him, the two countries were adjacent to each other, although there had been no large-scale war, but there was constant friction between the borders, and the two families had hated each other for several generations, and even Alan didn't know much about many historical issues.

"Greetings!" Thackeray spoke up again: "Do you need me to remind you of the etiquette of the nobility?" ”

Without waiting for Alan to speak, Lacey, the old butler next to him, asked with a smile: "Venerable Count Thackeray, may I ask if your childhood name was Tamble?" ”

Thackeray's face changed drastically, he drew his knight's sword, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" How do you know? ”

"I'm just the old butler of this castle." After Old Lacey finished speaking, he suddenly raised his cane and smashed it over and roared: "I'm still your uncle, little bastard, Uncle Ran is here to be majestic, your father doesn't dare to pretend like this when he sees me, and beat you to death an idiot." ”

Thackeray, who was very good at martial arts, was just about to raise his sword to block, when he heard the last words of the old butler, he was completely dumbfounded, and looked at old Lacey stupidly, and his head was firmly hit with a cane.

Subconsciously touching the big bag on his head, Thackeray hurriedly reached out to stop the knight behind him who was about to make a move, and looked at old Lacey with stupid eyes.

Seeing Old Lacey's puffing appearance, Thackeray's eyes changed from confusion to doubt, and then from doubt to surprise.

Thackeray suddenly burst forward and threw his arms around the old butler's thin shoulders, crying bitterly.

Alan looked at Thackeray, then at the angry old butler, and completely went into confusion mode.
