Chapter 64: Identifying Yourself
"What, what's going on?"
As soon as the old butler's hand reached for Tiffany, an unknown force hindered his progress, holding him firmly in place, unable to move.
When the woman saw that the old butler had not yet moved, she said impatiently, "What's the matter, Gehr, don't you hurry up." β
"That's not right, since people are already crying, you should comfort her."
As a gentle voice sounded beside him, John's figure appeared in everyone's sight, standing in the doorway, full of kind smiles.
The woman put away her surprised expression, fixed her mind, and confronted John, who suddenly appeared, "Who are you?" No outsiders are allowed here! β
When John saw that the woman was about to call the guards outside, he hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, woman, let me explain?" β
Seeing that John looked harmless to humans and animals, and did not behave like a robber, although he was wearing very ordinary clothes, but somehow he looked like an elegant gentleman in temperament, the woman put aside her suspicions and agreed to listen to him.
John thanked the woman, came to Tiffany, leaned down and held out his hand to her.
Looking at the smiling John, Tiffany remembered the people who bought flowers on the side of the road at that time, put away her tears, and said in surprise: "Big brother, why are you here?!" β
Taking her little hand and making her stand up, John smiled and said, "Didn't I say I wanted you to be my apprentice?" β
Tiffany bowed her head in embarrassment and said, "But, I don't want to be your apprentice. β
Thinking he knew why, John touched her orange hair and comforted, "Put it down, I'm not a liar, I'll show you the real spell later." β
Looking at the woman, John saluted and said, "Woman, my name is John, I am a mage, and I want Tiffany to be my disciple, and I hope you will agree." β
The woman was obviously a knowledgeable person, and she was not surprised when she faced John, who claimed to be a mage, but was still skeptical, and said, "What evidence do you have to prove it?" β
The arrogant girl before also had a skeptical look, she was a person who had studied in the mage academy for several years, she had studied spells, but she had never seen someone like John, looking at his age, he should be about the same as herself, and said: "Since you are a mage, can you please take out the mage medal?" β
If you want to verify whether you are a mage, you can confirm it by showing the mage medal issued, and only mages who are studying in the exclusive academy can get it.
John was not in a hurry, and took out a silver luster medal from the void in front of everyone, which was inlaid with several blue gems and carved with beautiful magic patterns, which looked very simple and beautiful.
This action shocked everyone present, especially Mary, who knew that this method was called the Void Space, and only mages and magicians who were particularly familiar with the Void could store items in the Void anytime and anywhere.
She had only seen the dean and the teacher who was proficient in the void to be so proficient.
John handed the medal to the old butler and asked him to send it to the woman.
The woman looked at it in her hand for a long time, and came to no conclusion, and was ashamed to say that she did not know how to recognize this kind of mage medal, but fortunately, Mary, the eldest daughter who had attended the mage academy, gave her the medal.
After looking at it for a while, Mary's face became more and more ugly as it was in her impression, and if it was really that, they really couldn't afford to lose this face, and they dared to say disrespectful words to a mage with such an achievement, and they could only hope that this medal was not real.
It's a pity that the unwanted thing has become a reality, Mary's face turned pale in an instant, this medal is really specially forged by the empire in order to reward the mage with the highest achievement and the most contribution, that is to say, the one in front of him is an out-and-out sage, higher than the existence of the mage.
At this point, only to offer enough sincerity to express their faux pas, Mary came to John with the medal in her hand, and solemnly apologized: "Sorry, honorable sage, please forgive us for being blind! β
Still worried that the sage would kill them all in a fit of anger, for the empire, the sage does have this right, Mary has already broken out in a cold sweat, praying that John can forgive them for their rudeness, as a trainee mage, she understands the mage's feelings very well, especially being doubted by others, she also empathizes with this feeling, how can a noble mage be doubted!
John smiled, didn't seem to take this matter to heart, put away the medal, and said: "It's okay, it's a normal thing for you to be suspicious, forgive no one to believe that the person who is suddenly at home is a mage, but it is better to say that I was at fault first, and I came in without your consent." β
Mary said gratefully, "Thank you for your leniency, Sage Lord! β
John waved his hand to show that she didn't need to do this, and said, "What do you think, woman, that I want Tiffany to be my apprentice?" β
The woman wiped the cold sweat from her face and said with a smile: "Of course, this is no problem, it should be the honor of our family." β
Nonsense, if you don't agree, maybe you will be killed, the woman thought in her heart, of course, this is indeed their honor, let a sage become Tiffany's teacher, and only the royal family of the empire has such qualifications.
Seeing that the stepmother, as well as the eldest sister and the second sister, all looked respectful of John, although Tiffany still didn't understand why, but it seemed that John was a very powerful mage, she remembered one thing, the mages in fairy tales are omnipotent existences, and pulled the corner of John's black robe and said: "Big brother, since you are so powerful, can you help me save Harlan?" β
What, even let me save a cat? You underestimate my abilities, John thought to himself, but he still pretended to be kind, stroked her head and swore solemnly, "Don't worry, I'm a mage, and I'll help you get Harlan back." β
Upon hearing John's assurance, the naΓ―ve Tiffany cried tears of joy and handed John the black hat that was dying in her arms.
Seeing this scene, the woman was a little worried, afraid that John was also a person who hated animals and dirty, and said, "Lord John, this ......"
John signaled with his eyes that she was okay, holding her in his arms, still warm in his arms.
I'll go, this cat has lice on it?! Under the perception, how many hairs are on the cat's body, and what injuries are clear, John's heart is embarrassed, there will be pets with lice this year, and it can be done with an electric shock magic easily, aren't you afraid of being bitten? John looked at Tiffany, who was confused.
After some examination, John found that the cat was simply sick, and a treatment could be done.
It's just a coincidence that he doesn't know how to heal, which is a bit embarrassing.
