V Foothold Chapter 54 Return and Refugee Camps II
(Thanks to the AV letter again!Today's first update!)
"So Donald, you've only been a mage for a few months, and you've already been promoted to the middle of Black Iron?"
In front of Donald, His Royal Highness Du Rui, the noble Second Prince of Celt, looked like he was talking to an old friend at this time, without a trace of arrogance at all.
Compared with the elegance and gentleness of the second prince, Ferdinand Ansel, as the commander of the fortress, has more of the hearty and crisp style of a soldier.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being a talented mage on the first day of Beijun, I thought it was an exaggeration of rumors, but this time I met you in person, but I found that the rumors are far inferior to your real strength!"
"I heard that the moonshine wine that is now famous in the kingdom is your inheritance, and you have invented a new mage drink, I will have to communicate with you more about these things in the future!"
Compared to the royal family and the Ansel family's estate, my small estate is just a subsistence. However, due to its proximity to the Izumo Mountains and the Green Cloak Forest, the environment of my Night Manor is different, and the two of them will definitely be welcome to visit once the construction is completed. ”
"It's all said Donald, it's good that you just call us by name, don't let the so-called identity affect us to become friends!"
Donald was humble and at the same time put forward his own invitation, and the two young big men looked at each other and were very satisfied with Donald's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, thinking that his vision was really good.
Not all fledgling nobles or professionals will remain so rational and calm in the face of a prince and a great noble heir.
This genius mage not only has a generous manners and etiquette, but also has a wide range of knowledge, and has a very unique view of some things, and he does not look like a teenager from the remote countryside of Beijun at all, but as if he is an excellent child of those old aristocratic families on the mainland that have been inherited for hundreds of years.
This is the influence of Donald's memories of his past life, a soul that has lived in modern society for decades has been stained with traces of that world in its bones, and whether it walks, sits or lies down, it has completely different qualities from this medieval world. Just like standing on the top of a mountain and looking at the climbers at the foot of the mountain, the ideology has reached a certain height, and when we look back and discuss the situation of that era in ancient times, our thoughts will naturally be transparent and open-minded.
In fact, Donald was also very excited about the two big names having the heart to make friends with him, but in order to leave a good impression on each other, he tried his best to maintain his demeanor.
Although he also saw that the two of them had the intention to let him stay for a while to exchange feelings, they still had a lot of affairs to deal with at present, and they couldn't be separated for the time being. But he has too much concern at home, and he has been away for more than half a month, and he doesn't know what the situation is in the manor, and this trip is very fruitful, and it also takes time to count and digest.
Therefore, after the banquet, Donald and the Supreme Commander and His Royal Highness the Prince said goodbye.
Except for the moment of life and death when he was attacked by a silver-level powerhouse, the war with the orcs was unexpectedly easy, and he didn't even use the hole card demon hunter ability that was ready to save his life and kill the enemy in the end, so he easily obtained such a great feat.
With Prince Durui and the other two as guarantees, as long as the reward arrives, you can officially obtain the territory with nine out of ten, and then you can start building your own team force.
Thinking of this, Donald couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
"In the harmonious society of the earth in the previous life, how could there be such an opportunity to become a nobleman of the people, obtain his own land, and be the free-spirited emperor of the earth?"
Therefore, Donald ignored the retention of the two big men, anyway, it was good to make his intentions clear, and then he returned to the North County in the carriage arranged for him by Ferdinand's subordinates.
It's not that Donald doesn't want to summon flying units to fly all the way back, taking the Horned Hippryphin as an example, although the speed of the Horned Hippogriff is good, but the endurance is not good, its manned flight ability can fly uninterrupted for two hours at a time, and then it must rest for a short half a day to recover its strength.
Although a two-hour flight is already comparable to a half-day journey in a carriage, this trip is not only for himself, but also for Clinton, Eric, and the three of them as a new member Uther, so the magic core consumed is too wasteful compared to riding in a carriage, and the cost of other high-level flying units is higher, and this is not an emergency time like 100,000 fires, so there is no need to waste the magic core in a hurry.
After leaving the fortress and entering the territory of Ansel, along the way, riding in the carriage arranged by the Holy Sword Legion, Donald saw many people dragging their families to the East.
After a two-day drive to a town closest to the capital of the Northwest Province, and ready to stay and rest for the night, they found at least a thousand stranded homeless people camping outside the town, seriously obstructing traffic.
Several of the merchants' teams were blocked outside the town and could not enter the town to recuperate, so they had to take a detour, and one of the leaders was consulting with the homeless people to make a way into the town to rest.
However, the four Donald were not affected much, because he directly summoned a horned eagle beast to take turns to fly into the town from the air with several people. A mere second-level demon core is still a waste of his net worth.
It is also such a town that basically has no air defense, if it is a nobleman's castle or a big city like a provincial capital, he doesn't want to become a dead bird shot through by crossbow arrows, and it is safer to go through the city gate.
When he entered the town, he took back the horned eagle beast, and did not care about scaring the pedestrians on the street, causing some discussion among the onlookers. Donald went straight to the only hotel here.
As soon as he entered, Donald noticed that business was very good, and many guests in the lobby were having dinner, so he took three of his attendants to find an empty table and sit down.
Because there were many guests, after Donald and the others sat down, a waiter who looked like a country girl hurriedly came over to greet them.
"Go get me four rooms, and four dinners to be served, grilled lamb chops and vegetable soup, and a big glass of wine per person!"
Donald smiled and instructed the waiter, handing out a few silver moons. A dozen copper horns in such a small town inn can make a person eat beautifully, and it doesn't cost a silver month even if you live in a hotel. However, the dinner ordered by Donald also cost two silver months, and after deducting the cost of the room, the remaining amount would probably have half a silver month, even if it was the tip he gave.
He didn't want to have a good appearance, wearing aristocratic clothes that ordinary people couldn't touch, and he was generous, which suddenly made the young girl blush.
"Yes sir!"
The maiden waitress took the money and stuffed it into her arms, and immediately turned around and ran away, and looked back at Donald before entering the kitchen.
It was a while before the food was brought in the kitchen.
The maiden waiter said with some apologies:
"I've kept you waiting, sir, it's your dinner, but the inn is full, and there are only two rooms left in the corner......"
"It's okay!"
The girl didn't finish her sentence before Donald spoke.
When the hot food was served, Donald was not in a hurry to start, but said casually: "Business in the inn is very good, which is understandable!"
The girl, who had planned to have nothing to say, immediately took it and said: "Where is the inn business good, but the outside of the town is blocked by homeless people, and these merchants and travelers can't get out of the town, so they can only continue to live in the store, and this has been like this for several days!"
Oh, the outcasts?
Donald's heart moved, and he asked, "So, where did these outcasts come from?"
