Chapter 146: A Visit

In the living room.

The maid brought a few cups of tea and placed them in front of everyone, with meticulous movements, respectful postures, and well-trained.

Bud and Malinda, as well as the three children, were a little unaccustomed to it, and hurriedly thanked them.

When the maid withdrew, the housekeeper Mariel also took the opportunity to clean up the room for everyone, and exited the living room, and the family relaxed slightly.

Bud took a sip from his teacup.

He hasn't drunk any good tea, but he can taste it, and the tea in his hand feels different, sweet and mellow, and the price must not be low.

He didn't speak, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet, and the three children sat side by side on the sofa, feeling very cramped.

Until Malinda broke the silence.

She kept looking at her eldest son and asked, "Wren, how did you become like this? Not only have you grown taller, but you are also stronger than before." Goddess above, if you come home alone, I may kick you out. ”

"Haha......" Wren stopped laughing.

In his memory, his mother Malinda was a devout believer in the goddess, and at the same time an optimistic woman, who was very nice to several children, cheerful, and usually told jokes.

And the father Bud plays the role of a strict father, which makes the children a little scared.

The husband and wife complement each other and maintain the family.

Now Malinda asks this, which means that she has believed that she is Wren.

Wren explained: "Mother, many people will change after becoming transcendent. I was lucky enough to have a very powerful element called 'Man of Steel', so I became like this, and no matter how many people wanted it, they didn't have a chance. ”

Malinda didn't know anything about it, "That element is so amazing?"

"I don't believe you ask Brisset, he's been in the Transcendental Academy for half a year, he should have heard of it......" Before Wren could finish speaking, Brissett exclaimed, "The Body of Steel!"

"Wren, you actually have a supernatural element?"

His eyes widened as he stared at Wren's face.

As if just looking was not enough, he stepped forward curiously, pinched the skin on the back of Wren's hand, and observed it carefully, as if admiring a rare treasure.

"Goddess...... Brissett amazed, "the body of steel turned out to be like this, and I actually saw it with my own eyes." ”

Wren let him observe.

Bard and Malinda also heard some clues in Brissett's tone.

"Brisset, tell us about it. ”

"Yes, Mother. Brissett let go of Wren's hand with some embarrassment, and then began to explain.

He had mastered a lot of basic knowledge about the Transcendent for half a year in the Transcendent Academy, and he was very impressed by various elements, so he had already heard of the Iron Body.

Brisset's brain is very flexible, and his eloquence is also very good, and he succinctly introduces the level, rarity and strength of the soul element, and describes the magic of the body of steel, which even Carlody and Casey understand.

The family's gaze at Wren suddenly changed.

Bud and Malinda are finally relieved.

"I see. Malinda stood up and prayed silently to the Goddess of Magic, and finally whispered, "Goddess bless!"

Bard also nodded, with a bit of relief in his eyes.

He used to have high expectations for his eldest son, but he has gradually lost patience in the past few years, and now Wren is finally on the right path, combining powerful elements and having a bright future, and he is very happy as a father.

Still, he was a little puzzled.

A transcendent element may be very powerful, but Wren has just been an transcendent for half a year, and his level is definitely not high, how can he make so much money?

Bard couldn't help but ask, "Wren, how did this house come about?" Brissett also said that you are going to be canonized as a baron?"

"It's all earned from it. Wren pointed to a gramophone in the living room.

The crowd looked at the gramophone.

In fact, they had already seen this piece of furniture that looked like a trumpet flower, and they didn't know what it was for, so they were curious, but they were not embarrassed to ask.

Even Brissett didn't understand, he had heard his classmates mention this recent novelty, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Wren got up and started the gramophone, and a pleasant music sounded.

The whole family listened attentively.

It wasn't until the whole song was played that Wren cut off the music and explained it to them.

He had already figured out his rhetoric, and after he came out of the house, he spent several months studying in Lonshand, inventing the phonograph, and then Viola realized the potential of the gramophone, and she financed himself to perform a soul transformation ritual and become a transcendent.

Later, he cooperated with Viola and presented the gramophone to the Duke of Silver Star and established Silver Star Records.

The Duke of Silver Star was also very optimistic about the gramophone, rewarded him with a large sum of money, and decided to canonize himself as a baron.

This explanation is true or false, and Wren is not afraid of being discovered by his family.

Whether it is the Abyssal Gate incident or the establishment and operation of Silver Star Records, it is not something that the family has the opportunity to access, and it is almost impossible to be exposed.

Telling the truth will only cause them unnecessary worries, as well as doubts about themselves.

Although Bud and Malinda are still a little unreal, their son can invent the magic phonograph, but the truth is in front of them, and they have to believe it.

Wren also tried his best to learn from the tone and posture of the previous Wren to let them down their guard.

Before you know it, that familiar feeling returns.

At noon, Wren had already asked the kitchen to prepare a hearty lunch, and at the dining table, he deliberately said something about the past, subtly making the family think that he was Wren in the past and had not changed.

In the afternoon.

Mariel, the butler, came to the door with two high-class tailors and customized several clothes for each of the family, including formal wear, casual wear, evening dresses and so on.

The price of each dress is in gold shields, which makes the family staggered.

In the evening, Wren took the family to the most upscale restaurant in the Silver Star District and enjoyed an expensive and delicious dinner, which opened the eyes of the family.

After the meal, take a horse-drawn carriage ride back to the villa.

Today's experience has given the family a taste of what aristocratic life is like, with Bud and Malinda being quite reserved, while the three younger siblings are excited.

Wren saw his father Bard's stop and said, "Brisset, you take Carlodi and Casey upstairs to see your own room." ”

"Okay, come with me. Brissett reacted quickly and pulled his brother and sister upstairs.

He sat down on the couch and waited until the maid serving the tea had left, and then Wren looked at Bud.

"Father?"

Bard hesitated for a few moments, and said with a serious face: "Wren, I am surprised that you have achieved so much now, but I am also happy for you. ”

Wren nodded and continued to listen.

"You spent so much money to buy this house, did you want me and your mother to move to the city?" asked Bard earnestly.

"I had this idea. Wren replied truthfully.

Bud shook his head, "We've lived in Eagle Marsh for the rest of our lives and don't want to leave. Life in the city is very good, and there are servants to serve you, but we have been commoners for decades, and it is difficult to adapt to suddenly becoming a nobleman, and I am afraid that you will only be laughed at. ”

"Besides, I can't let go of the grain and oil mill in town, and your mother wants to continue to be a teacher. ”

Malinda, who was sitting next to her, also nodded.

Wren was unimpressed, and suddenly asked, "Father, how much does your mill make in a year?" and before Bard could answer, he began to guess, "Fifty gold guilders, or sixty?" Do you know how much the bill for that dinner was just now?"

Bud shook his head, he didn't see Wren paying.

"How much?"

Wren replied lightly: "Thirty gold shields." ”

"What!" Bard almost jumped up, and ate thirty gold guilders for a meal, which was half a year's profit from his mill. I thought the dinner was delicious and the service was very thoughtful just now, but now I suddenly felt distressed.

Malinda was also frightened, covering her mouth and unable to speak.

Wren laughed and said, "I don't mean to scare you, I just want you to know what the life of a nobleman is like, with my current income, I can fully afford such a high expense, and you can completely let go of living in Longshande." ”

"It's just the beginning, and when Silver Star Records expands into the empire, my income will only be higher. ”

"Twenty percent of the record company's earnings are enough for you to live a worry-free life for the rest of your life. ”

"Brissett can enter a better transcendent academy, hire the best sword teacher, buy him alchemy potions, and improve his chances of becoming a transcendent. ”

"Carlodi and Casey will also invest a lot of gold shields in the future. ”

"It takes a lot of money, and I can afford it. ”

"If Father wants to grow our family, he can't guard the town's grain mill anymore. Wren said suddenly: "Father, I know that you have always wanted to own a ranch of your own, I have already bought a small ranch for you outside the city of Longshande, and invested a total of five thousand gold guilders, whether you can make money depends on your ability." ”

"Carlody and Kathy, I also hired the best tutor for them. ”

Wren looked at Malinda again, "Mother, your duty is to take care of this family, so that father no longer has to worry about his younger siblings, and if there is something you don't understand, Mariel will help you." ”

Bard and Malinda were dumbfounded.

Wren had already arranged everything for them, and in addition to being surprised, he also felt quite stressed, and a little afraid to face such a big challenge.

The husband and wife looked at each other for a moment, and finally nodded.

Wren smiled secretly, he took so much pains and painstaking efforts, not only to compensate them, but also to give his parents something to do and divert their attention.

lest they be suspicious all day long, wondering what is going on in them.

"By the way," he asked suddenly, "Father, do you have any suggestions for family names?"

Bard was stunned for a few moments, and sighed: "Our family used to be civilians, and there is no background, it is you who will be named a baron, or it is up to you to decide." ”

"Okay, then I'll think of one. ”

Wren promised that he had thought about a few surnames recently, but he had not yet decided.

That night, the family slept in the villa.

The next afternoon, Wren was chatting with his parents in the living room, and Brissett had returned from Claydon College to take his younger siblings to the back of the martial arts arena.

The sound of a car rang out outside.

Mariel, the butler, came in and said, "Sir, Lady Viola is here to visit. ”

Behind him, Viola followed through the door.

As soon as she appeared, Bud and Malinda froze. They had heard of this lady from Wren's mouth, and knew that she was the great-granddaughter of the Duke of Silver Star, the owner of the record company, and she was very noble, and she was a big man in Longshand, and she had a great favor to Wren.

Rennes' achievements today are inseparable from the support of this lady.

However, they never imagined that Ms. Viola would be so beautiful.

Malinda sighed softly, "Goddess!"

Bud was also dumbfounded, only glanced at it, and then quickly looked away, for fear that his impolite behavior would anger the lady.

Renqi introduced the two sides.

Viola didn't show any intimacy with Wren, just nodded to the two of them, "Mr. Bard, Miss Malinda, meet for the first time." ”

She was followed by a maid who gave them gifts.

They also wanted to reach out to pick it up, but fortunately the butler Mariel took the gift for them one step ahead of them, so it was not rude.

Viola just came to show up, sat down and talked for a few minutes before taking her leave, only to quietly glance at Wren before leaving, with a smile in her eyes.

When she was gone, both Bud and Malinda breathed a sigh of relief.

This lady was so beautiful and kind, but somehow it made them feel extremely stressed, and they thought, is this what a real nobleman looks like?

Wren looked at their apprehension and didn't laugh secretly.

If the parents knew the true relationship between them and Viola, they would probably be so frightened that they couldn't even speak, doubting their own share.

For the next two days, the guests took turns to come to the door as if they had arranged it.

Kenegi came to visit and sent a car as a gift for Rennes' new home. Driss also came to the door once, and Wren bought the ranch from his family, so there was a connection recently.

At the behest of Viscount Perry, Driss had to build a good relationship with Wren.

Driss had returned to the Demon Slayer team, and he told Pollock about Wren, who arrived with Frida that afternoon.

Every time he met with a guest, Wren would introduce him to his parents.

When Bard and Malinda heard about these guests, they gradually realized that Wren really had a good place in Lonzander.

Wren not only has a relationship with the ladies of the Duke's family, but also the vice president of the mechanical union and the members of the demon slaying team, each of them has a lot of background, but when facing Wren, they all communicate with an equal attitude, and even they are very polite to themselves.

Originally, Bard had some worries, but now he has no doubts, just waiting for the canonization ceremony to start running his own ranch.
