In order not to disturb the sweet married world of Chinkov and Valyosha, Rodin decisively moved out of the Ivanov mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everything came to an end, and after cultivation, he rarely had a lot of leisure time, so he rented a room in a small three-story elegant building on Orchid Street, a little quiet in the east district of St. Gallen.

The decoration of the room is simple and simple, but it is better than the windows.

In addition to the beds, tables and chairs, there is a box of recently rented books stacked in the corner.

He likes to sit by the transparent glass window every morning after his practice, quietly reciting a book, waiting for the first rays of sunlight in the sky, or go to the courtyard full of flowers and plants, walk around the neighborhood a few times, or go out to visit Granny Una, or bring a fishing rod and fish by the nearby river.

The landlord is a typical middle-class St. Gallen family, owning several properties and a trade market with a shop specializing in local products.

Even then, they do not have a good life, and the difference between them and the working people at the bottom is only the amount of meat in their meals and the fact that their children can afford expensive schools.

In the current era of the royal world, receiving an education is a luxury, and there is no such thing as an obligation. Although it is not difficult for parents to teach their children, there are only two ways to learn more systematic and comprehensive knowledge, such as astronomy and geography, customs, imperial history, arithmetic, and natural sciences that are still in the stage of ignorance—hiring expensive private teachers, and attending public schools everywhere. The former is not affordable by a wealthy family, while the latter also requires a significant expense.

The landlord's twin daughters are the latter, and in order to attend the school in St. Gallen, they each have to pay a fee of 10,000 Magneti per year.

This amount of money may not be huge for a hunter who licks the blood with a knife, it is only a reward for a few commissions, but for ordinary people, it is worth more than half a year's income.

Savvy businessmen and their husbands and wives, however, think it's worth the money, get up early and stay up late every day, and enjoy it as long as their children have access to a quality education.

The landlord was very kind and welcoming to the tenants, and invited Rodin to enjoy a delicious dinner from time to time, which he certainly did not accept.

One evening, Rodin was carrying a basket of fresh trout, humming an inexplicable tune in a cheerful mood.

"I had good luck today and caught three fat trout, and let Old Jack and them try them in the evening. ”

Walking near his lodgings, he suddenly stopped, and two familiar faces appeared in his sight.

Not far away, in the courtyard of the exquisite small western-style house, the landlord's son, Sherlock, and daughter, Louise, were arguing with a group of young people.

In Rodin's impression, the two of them used to speak softly, behave politely, and show good upbringing, what made them so angry?

Opposite the two siblings, the young man at the head was tall, wearing a delicate coat of exquisite workmanship, and a gorgeous ruby ring on his right index finger looked spacious and magnificent. It's just that he has a huge hooked nose, and between the opening and closing of his eyes, a trace of the merchant's philistine and essence is clearly revealed.

He was surrounded by five people with big shoulders and round waists, fierce eyes, and ruffian spirits, who from time to time followed the young man's words to make threatening movements towards the two brothers and sisters, as if they had no fear.

"Alas, how can there always be such an eyeless guy on a rare leisurely holiday? This time, even if you repay the landlord for the free dinner on weekdays. ”

The two siblings made a good impression of Rodin, and he did not intend to sit idly by. So he walked slowly over with a trout basket in one hand and a belt bag in the other.

"Hey, pick it up!"

When he got closer, he slammed at the big men, and then threw the fish basket over.

"Ouch...... Protect the young master!" The few people who were busy threatening the two siblings didn't have time to react, thinking that they were being attacked, and hurriedly blocked the fish basket, but three fat trout rushed out of the exit, hitting their cheeks, chests and abdomen.

The young master in the center was stunned for a moment, but it was the naughty fish that stuffed his tail into his mouth, and in an instant, he vomited.

"Bah, what a thing, a salty and wet smell!"

"Grandma's, dare to humiliate our young master, I'm tired of it!"

After the hook-nosed young man vomited for a long time, he pointed at Rodin angrily, "Beat him up for me!"

The five thugs received the order, and they swarmed up Rodin in a circle, pacing and throwing out the foul language as if they didn't want money.

And the one-eyed young man clasped his hands on his chest for a long time, and his playful smile was like watching a clown perform, which instantly made them even more angry.

"Who are you and why are you attacking us?"

"Ask a fart, first beat up to avenge the young master!"

The five thugs gave each other a look, and they were about to beat each other.

"Wait, everyone, stop!"

The two siblings suddenly squeezed over, and they were anxious to persuade a few people.

"Why, Miss Louise, do you know this guy?"

The hook-nosed youth glanced between the two of them, and a glimmer of light flashed.

He ...... He's our tenant's big brother, Wilson, and you are not allowed to embarrass him!"

Louise's youthful and delicate face was a little scared and stubborn.

"It's not impossible to promise you, but you must compensate me," Wilson said meaningfully......

Jack on the side glared angrily when he heard this, and reprimanded him unceremoniously, "Wilson, you are really delusional, the toad wants to eat swan meat, my sister will never be with you! Get out of here, don't think that you can do whatever you want with two stinky money at home." If you don't leave, I'll go to the security team to report the crime!"

"Hmph! Stubborn and stubborn, blame me for not being emotional!" Wilson looked displeased and waved his hand at his follower, "Give me a good lesson for this one-eyed fool first!"

Rodin, who was in the center, suddenly couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"It's funny, it's the first time I've heard someone call me that. ”

"Huh, it seems that you are not only stupid, but also hopelessly stupid—"

Wilson's rhetoric came to an abrupt end.

In the huge courtyard, a strong wind suddenly blew, and a vague figure passed quickly, followed by a series of screams, and the five thugs flew out of the distance like paper figures, lying on the ground and rolling in pain.

And Wilson blinked hard, and his Adam's apple squirmed and swallowed. stammering and pointing to the person in front of him,

"You...... Are you a powerhouse?"

"What's the matter, didn't you call me a one-eyed fool?"

"Hah...... Hah......" his cheek muscles twitched into a flattering smile.

"I'm sorry that the contemptible people didn't recognize you, but please ...... for the sake of atonement"

"Shut up! Now I say, listen. Got it?"

Rodin's low tone made Wilson shudder, and the two siblings on the side had already looked stunned, they had no idea that this usually raunchy tenant was actually a powerful person with extraordinary powers?

"Okay, please!" Wilson nodded, humbled like a servant for a moment.

He was not an aristocrat, just a merchant descendant with a small fortune, that is, a wealthy ordinary person. Even the bodyguards are strong, ordinary people.

And in the world of Imperial Grace, there is a barrier between ordinary people and wizards and powerful people who have extraordinary powers.

"Jack and Louise are my younger siblings, and I don't want to see you embarrass them again, otherwise—"

"Definitely, definitely!

"Don't be in front of us again!" added Jack, who was on the side, suddenly craned his neck.

Wilson respectfully complied, and then, with Rodin's permission, fled with a group of men as if they had been granted amnesty.

"Young Master, are you swallowing this breath? Isn't he just a powerful man?"

"Stupid! I didn't even see how you were knocked down by him just now, this kind of strength is definitely something my family can provoke!"

Wilson changed his previous embarrassment, and a deep jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"Think about it with your brain, those people with extraordinary strength who don't like it, they can assassinate them, and they can still be at ease when they escape to other cities in the future, I can't gamble my life for a woman!"

On the other side, Rodin rubbed his temples and had an inexplicable headache.

In front of him, the elder brother of the two siblings, Jack, knelt on the ground, his face frenzied.

"Brother Rodin, please accept me as a student and teach me the way of strength!"
