Chapter 2 Go straight to the City Lord's Mansion
After all, Old Ham didn't survive until the day Grimm married his mother-in-law and gave birth to a baby, and then he went to the ground.
It was said that it was the beginning of spring, and the cold wind had begun to soften, so Old Ham and Green bought a small barrel of ale from the town after finishing their day's work, cut a few catties of meat, and prepared to start this year's big plan to renovate the house tomorrow, and the plan to find Green's mother-in-law was also put on the agenda. Unfortunately, the next morning, Old Ham was no longer able to get Green up to work.
Old Ham left with a smile, I don't know if it was because of the good wine and meat the night before, or because every wish in his dream had come true, anyway, until Green hired a few farmers to bury Old Ham, this guy was still smiling, as free and easy as usual.
The old Ham's most cherished cigarette stick, Green also buried.
Old Ham's sudden departure left Green lost his days for a while, but the days still went on.
Green became the owner of the two huts, as well as an old horse and two gold coins and 17 silver coins, which were the savings of Old Ham's life, and now they all belonged to Green, and all of Green's existing property. Of course, Green secretly hid the Nose Hunter and the Scent Atlas magic book where the gold coins were kept, and basically read it once or twice every night without consuming too much oil.
Gradually, it's summer.
It was still an ordinary day, after a busy morning, Green dumped a large amount of garbage left over from the carnival of the nobles of the Viscount's Mansion last night outside the city, and then came to the Viscount's territory to take the supplies prepared for the Viscount today from these servants. Green sat in the carriage and looked at the blue sky with white clouds.
Next to the carriage was a country girl named Mary, who was able to carry goods with her hands and feet, and could do more than the average boy. Wearing a linen apron, he has a lot of freckles on his face, a golden head, and his heart is pounding hard. From time to time, he peeked at Grimm, who was sitting comfortably in the carriage, and looked at this handsome man, Mary liked it so much, and smelled his peculiar smell, like the fragrance of aland grass.
Green ignored Mary, a year ago, by chance, Green knew that this girl liked him, or Old Ham secretly sued SΓΉ Green, and even Old Ham's plan was to let Green marry this girl as a mother-in-law. But he didn't say it, but he had to admit in his heart that he really didn't have any feelings for this diligent and shy girl, at most she was the little girl next door, so after Old Ham left, Green never took the initiative to contact this girl, but saw it once a day when loading goods.
Seeing that Grimm did not speak, the girl secretly observed Grimm while working, and saw that the goods were gradually about to be moved to the carriage, and according to the old practice, Grimm would drive the carriage away. The girl finally bit her lip and couldn't help but speak: "Green, in the morning, a wizard passed by here and asked how to get to Bissel City, and the people here were stunned at that time, and it was the first time I had seen the legendary wizard." β
The girl pretended to be full of surprise and secretly observed Green.
Green, who was bored in the carriage, heard the word wizard, and suddenly came to his senses, and said incredulously: "Wizard?
"I'm sure a lot of people here have seen it, of course. Mary saw Green talking, and replied with joy.
Green was a little excited, "What does a wizard look like?" asked Green, who had never seen a wizard before.
"Hmm...... The wizard was dressed in a wide gray robe, with a high hat on his head, his face was illegible, as if it were fogged, and he held a frog with red eyes in his hand. By the way, he was talking to Ima, who was at the head of the village. β
Seeing Green's excitement, Mary told Green all the information she could know.
"Thank you. Green was thrilled, for this was the first time Green had gotten a clue about a real wizard since he got the magic book half a year ago.
Quickly ran to the house of the head of the village, Ima, a twenty-three or four-year-old girl, already with two children, the male owner is a hunter, named Sogara, strong body, but very bold personality.
Sogara was very surprised to see Green coming: "Yo, Green is here, haha, are you attracted by the smell here?" Come on, come on, the wild boar that was caught by luck yesterday ......" In the kitchen, Irma walked out, and two children looked at Green curiously.
Half an hour later, Green left Emma's house excitedly, muttering excitedly: "Bissel City, really went to Bissel City!"
At the gate of the Viscount's Mansion, behind the arrogant old butler stood four tall knights, blocking the door. The old butler looked at the dozen or so peasant households gathered at the gate of the Viscount's Mansion with gloomy eyes, and roared: "Your land was given by the Viscount, and the Viscount can tax as he want......s!
Green waited anxiously in the distance, basically at this time of year, a large number of farmers would block the door of the Viscount's Mansion to make trouble, and then after being cleaned up by these tall horse knights, the farmers would disperse, but the process was long and short.
"Untouchables, untouchables, dare to talk back!" the old butler roared, "I'll drive you away!"
The four tall knights worked hard for a while, punched and kicked all the dozen peasants, and the old housekeeper was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Green didn't dare to delay, and drove the carriage into the Viscount's Mansion in a low-key manner, and the old butler roared: "Stop!" glanced at Green, flipped through the goods on Green's carriage at will, and scolded: "Why is it so slow?
As soon as Green grinned, he was already holding his breath in his heart. This old guy has already collected his two silver coins this month, and he may be able to get three or four silver coins for a month in the Viscount's Mansion here, although the salary is high, but he can't help this old guy to squeeze it like this.
"Master steward, the little one arrived before, but the farmers didn't go in because they were in the way. "Green is not Old Ham, not as good-tempered.
Suddenly, the old butler seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, and his old face turned red and pointed at Green's nose and roared: "Bastard! You pariahs still dare to talk back? It seems that the Viscount has raised you for nothing! good! good...... Tomorrow I won't use it, get out of here!" After saying this, the old butler entered the courtyard in a huff and shouted to the knight beside him: "Tomorrow this untouchable man will come again, and break his leg for me, otherwise you will not use it." β
Green stood beside the carriage, madly angry, and cursed in his heart that the old fellow would go to see Old Ham to-morrow.
Suddenly, Green thought of something, and after a snort, parked the carriage under a large tree not far away, and ran to a blacksmith shop in the small town.
"Hey, Sixth Brother. Green beckoned to an apprentice blacksmith.
When Green was still begging in Bissel City, there were always nine beggars begging together, and Green was ranked eighth. After that, Green was taken away by Old Ham, the sixth entered the blacksmith shop as an apprentice, and the second child is said to have gone to the country to work as a servant, and the others were not heard from.
"Old eight!" When the blacksmith saw Green, his eyes lit up, he strode over and patted Green: "Why do you have time to come to me?"
The height of more than one meter and eight meters is full of sweat and sourness, full of manly atmosphere, and now this sixth child is much stronger than Green, with a beard, his cheeks are red because of the perennial smoke by the stove, and his rough hand pats on Green's body and hurts.
"Sixth brother, I have a question with you, I heard that there is a wizard in the city?" asked Green, in a low voice.
The sixth man's face changed: "How do you know? There is indeed a wizard here, it is said that he is here to accept students with wizard qualifications, but it is enough to pay a gold coin to identify whether there is a wizard apprentice qualification." As he spoke, the sixth man quietly angrily pouted behind him, pointed at the old blacksmith and said, "The old man also took his son Ayi, and he was not qualified as a wizard, and now he still feels sorry for that gold coin." β
Green was pleasantly surprised: "Where's the wizard?"
The sixth child's face changed, and he looked at Green in shock: "You don't want to go, do you? A gold coin is not a small expense, we don't have so much money to waste."
Hesitated for a moment.
If he really loses one gold coin, it will indeed be a big blow to Green, who only has more than two gold coins, but if he loses this opportunity, maybe there will be no such opportunity in the future......
Finally, Green nodded firmly. After being shocked for a long time, the sixth said: "In the City Lord's Mansion, it is said that the City Lord's baby daughter has been identified as a wizard. Of course, he is also the only one in Bissel City"
"Brother Xie. Green was so excited that he even forgot all about the old butler in the Viscount's Mansion, and his mind was full of things about wizards, and he ran to his two small huts desperately, and dragged out a chest from the most secret place, which contained a large number of silver and copper coins.
"Gotta be a wizard!
After counting a hundred silver coins, after thinking about it, Green took the magic book of "Nose Hunting and Smell Atlas" again, hid the box, and Green ran to Bissel City again.
Since it was already summer, the days were long and the nights were short, but fortunately it was not dark.
The lord of the city is the most noble nobleman in Bissel City, and it is said that he is the only marquis in this territory, unless he goes to the area under the jurisdiction of other cities, in the Bissel region, the lord of the city can say whatever he wants, even the viscount has to be obedient.
The City Lord's Mansion Green had only seen it a few times from a distance, and in the past, it would be heavily guarded, with seven or eight knights guarding it, but now, there were many people coming in and out of the City Lord's Mansion. Green glanced at it, and most of the people who came in and out were city shop owners or aristocrats, and there were also their juniors next to them, often with disappointed expressions.
Knowing that the wizard was inside, Green rushed in without thinking about anything else.
"Stop, pay a gold coin. At that moment, a boy about the size of Green yelled at Green.
Green painlessly gave a small bag of silver coins to the other party, and after the man glanced at Green disdainfully, he directly threw the small bag of silver coins into the box behind him, and he didn't count them. Green was stunned for a moment, judging from the other party's temperament and dress, he was just the son of a farmer, I guess I don't know what luck I had, I don't know how that arrogance came from.
Glancing at the man with the same disdain, Green followed the crowd in front of him into the City Lord's Mansion.
