Brian led Charlie to the gate of the castle's outer wall.

"I'm Brian, on the order of the Grand Duke, send Young Master Charles to Fort William, open the door quickly!" Brian shouted three times intermittently, and there was a little movement in the door.

A small window opened on the black iron cast gate, and a pair of gloomy eyes glanced out, and then, a lazy voice came out: "It turned out to be Mr. Brian, before the evening, I just received an order from Lord Griffin, the castle gate is under martial law, after dark, it is not allowed to open the city gate, saying that it is because the Elwin Forest has not been peaceful recently, this is a strict order, I have no choice, please cooperate with Mr." ”

Brian faintly felt that something was wrong, and replied: "The order is dead, the person is alive, the two of us, a car, it will take a while to enter the door, it will not have any effect, Griffin asked, I will respond to him." ”

The man lazily replied, "No! My lord has a strict order, I opened the door, and if something happens, I can't get out of it." ”

This is a naked target!

Brian was faintly angry, and his voice raised by more than ten decibels: "Mark, now standing outside the door is Young Master Charlie, the only son of the Grand Duke, what is going to happen to him, can you afford it?!"

In response to Brian, there was a chuckle: "Mr. Brian doesn't need to scare me, I'm just a little janitor, I don't know anything, I just recognize Lord Griffin, let's do things according to the regulations, if you want to come in, get the warrant of the adult first, everything is easy to say, don't make it difficult for me!"

Brian took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Then I can trouble you to inform Griffin, just say that I and Young Master Charlie are standing at the gate waiting for him now!"

"Oh, I'm afraid...... It's getting late, and the adults have already rested, so let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow!" Brian was on the verge of rage, "You mean to make us wait outside the door all night......?"

In the face of Brian's anger, the eyes of the door hole were faintly weak, but he still did not change his words, and greater fear dominated him.

Charlie raised his hand to stop him: "Uncle Brian, needless to say, he is also a poor worm!"

In the cold night, under the starry sky, Charlie and Brian were just hanging out of the door, shivering.

This was a very obvious disappointment, and Griffin used this means to swear his dominance at Fort William, and also showed a serious disbelief in Charlie's future.

Of course, there may be another possibility, he was bribed by some people in the Pavel family, and he was trying every means to suppress Charlie, break his defenses, and make him give up on himself, completely reduced to a waste, and never suffer again.

Brian said angrily: "Arrogant, frivolous, arrogant! Hmph! This griffin is too good! He treats the castle as his own backyard! I think he has been in power for a long time, and he doesn't know what his last name is!"

Under the moonlit night, Charlie's eyes were striking, and he said calmly: "Uncle Brian, there is no need to be angry with this kind of person, one day, I will make him crawl and tremble at my feet!"

Brian nodded silently.

......

The humidity in the forest was very heavy, and at some point a layer of mist appeared, and the damp and cold air penetrated everywhere, invading the carriage, moistening everything, and constantly absorbing the heat from the body.

The two of them hadn't eaten dinner yet, and they were hungry and cold, and they felt very uncomfortable, huddled in the carriage, covered with a thin blanket, and still felt extremely cold.

Brian sighed, "If only I were a fire mage." ”

Charlie asked, "Is fire magic difficult? As a beginner magician, don't you know even the most basic fire magic?"

Brian shook his head and said, "Nature belongs to life, and fire walks to destruction, and the two are inherently opposed, this is the basic rule of the world.

My physique is close to nature, and I have also cultivated natural magic, and the magic pool in my body has the attributes of natural elements, and it is naturally restrained by the fire element, not only will it be defeated by the fire mage, but it cannot use fire spells, otherwise, it may encounter terrible consequences. ”

Charlie laughed, "Then let me try, don't you have a magic staff? It should store some mana, right?"

"Oh! Why didn't I think of that?" Brian patted his head and said, "By the way, I'm still curious about how the young master can 'cast spells quickly'?"

Charlie laughed, "Probably because my tongue is more flexible! Reading syllables together has inadvertently achieved this effect." ”

Brian thought for a while, gave a brief try, and found that he couldn't find a clue, so he gave up, he didn't have that kind of talent, and he didn't have the ambition to do it.

Then, Brian recited a basic spell "Hand of Fire", which is the introductory spell for every fire magic apprentice, and only costs one basic magic unit, making the hand burn, the effect is quite bluffing, the lethality is not high, only six basic syllables, much simpler than the two arcane spells of Charles.

Without Brian repeating it a second time, Charlie was holding a magic staff in one hand, and the spell blurted out, and the eyes of the two fell on Charlie's right hand.

The magic extracted from the cane, under the action of the spell, was transformed into pure fire energy, which was collected on Charlie's right hand, and under the control of spiritual power, these flame elements changed into various shapes.

"Is that so?" Charlie let the fire elemental rise and fall in his hand as if he were playing with a handful of sand.

The fire element was something new to Charlie's access, and he was so happy that he didn't know that Brian had shown a sluggish expression.

After being stunned for a long time, Brian sighed: "What a strong mental power!"

"What? Is there anything special about that?"

Brian smiled: "Young master, I don't know much, don't ask me, anyway, at least I haven't seen the master behave like this during his apprenticeship, you are a special case!"

"Special case, really?"

Brian affirmed: "Yes, the young master is very special, maybe only the great magician can see the young master's talent!"

Brian originally only hoped to use the flaming hand of flame to dispel the chill in the carriage, but unexpectedly found that Charlie could do it more meticulously.

Charlie smiled, and simply manipulated the flame element to spread evenly in the carriage, and he released several "mutant flame hands" in succession, and the entire carriage gradually became dry and warm, and the windows kept the cold out.

Magic changes lives, and this is a living example.

"It's comfortable!" Charlie stretched and lay down.

Brian praised: "Young master has a lot of methods!"

......

The next morning, a tuk-tuk knock at the door woke the two men, and when they got out of the carriage, they saw a pot-bellied man standing in front of the carriage surrounded by a group of servants.

The middle-aged man had a large black shiny mole on his cheek, and by looking at the arrogance on his face, you could guess the identity of this person, he should be Griffin Vinoth, the butler of William's castle.

Griffin put his hands behind his back, raised his head lightly, and looked at Charlie with a pair of squinting eyes: "Master Charlie, welcome to Fort William, I'm really sorry for what happened last night, that damn subordinate is really stupid, he doesn't know how to be flexible, let you suffer, young master."

However, it also reflects the strict rules of our William Castle, a big castle must talk about the rules, this is what the lord said personally when he handed over the castle to me, I have always kept it in mind, and always put it into practice, I believe that if the young master is sensible, he will be able to understand my distress. ”

Although it was an apology, there was no hint of apology in his tone, and Griffin's eyes were shining, and the light was full of banter, and it felt like watching a little mouse bounce in front of him.

This is where he is clever, no matter what, take his responsibility off first, if Charlie makes a fuss, with his current prestige and situation, the board is likely to hit him.

To Griffin's surprise, Charlie was not outraged.

Charlie said calmly: "Okay, I don't have any privileges now, the big butler doesn't have to come to the door to apologize in person, if it's okay, let me go first, I'm going back to rest, this damn plank hurts my bones." ”

With that, Charlie stretched out and smiled at Griffin.

Griffin read a lot of things in this smile, and a trace of sweat was faintly secreted behind his back, and a sense of irritability arose in his heart, hum! A stinky little ghost is playing tricks with me! When Lao Tzu is a yin person, you haven't grown in your mother's belly yet!

Hum!

Griffin let out a puff of air from his nostrils, and he didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

Brian drove the carriage into the castle, and Charlie did not get into the carriage and walked side by side with him.

Brian gave a thumbs up and praised, "The young master has really grown up." ”

Charlie just smiled.

"Young master, you stayed here for a while when you were still a year old, do you still have an impression of the castle? Brian was proud of that.

Charlie shook his head.

"Go, I'll take you to see where your mother used to live. ”

Brian led the way in front of the carriage.

Fort William covers an area of nearly 30,000 square meters, counting the indoor area, the space that needs to be maintained is very large, and the existing servants are far from enough to maintain the daily maintenance of the entire castle, plus Archduke Thomas originally did not like this castle, and he also had some contradictions with his old father-in-law, and did not want to spend the cost of maintenance, rather than let it be deserted, it is better to come in handy.

Therefore, the Grand Duke rented it out, it should not be for money, the Grand Duke is not short of money, but to gain Ron's friendship, although he is only an archmage, but Ron's teacher is an archmage, and he has a high reputation in the magic world of the Millennium Empire, and the relationship is established layer by layer.

After Ron rented Fort William, he didn't build a lot of buildings, but simply renovated the lawns and woods, built a botanical garden and a magical beast domestication field, and built a magic tower, relying on the magic tower to establish a complete set of magic taboos, enclosing the entire leased land, and obvious magic patterns will be seen at the border, which is easy to identify, Brian warned Charlie as he walked.

Charlie's mother's private courtyard is called "Orchid Garden", orchids are her favorite plants, when she lives here, every August, orchids are in full bloom, full of light blue and plain white jumping in the wind, if there is no fragrance overflowing the garden, the whole courtyard is filled with a dreamy atmosphere.

This habit was inherited, and Brian spent a great deal of time each year maintaining the plants, and, because of the shade-loving orchid, the whole courtyard was located in the sunniest part of the castle, but it was always immersed in a faint shade.

Covering an area of about 3,000 square meters, the orchid garden includes a bedroom with an independent balcony, an open-air garden with an artificial bath, and a super-large study.

Brian took Charlie to a guest bedroom in the dormitory and said, "I'm afraid the young master is tired! ”

"Okay, you too, have a good rest. Charlie remembered this messy night, a sin of Griffin, and will be liquidated one by one in the future.
