Few mages live in the West, and similarly, there is no place to teach magic in the West. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe reason is very simple, because the western realm does not produce yuan stones, and the yuan stones needed must be purchased from the realm of holy radiance. A small Yuan Stone is equivalent to a box of gold coins, and the consumption of the Western Legion itself is staggering, not to mention that a mage consumes far more Yuan Stone than a warrior. This is why the vast majority of mages live in the realm of Divine Radiance and serve the great nobles, each of them is made of gold, and a powerful mage is extremely rare.

However, although there are few powerful mages, there is only one heir of the Iron Thorn Family. The Duchess agreed to Al's request in one bite, and urged the Duke to solve it immediately with rare severity, and the Duke could only smile bitterly and write several letters to the City of Radiance, especially one sent directly to the mysterious Mage Guild, inviting a learned mage to come and teach Al, "I don't know what price I will have to pay in the future to repay." The Duke thought to himself, but he didn't take it to heart, "Al, since you want to learn, you have to learn the best, can you do it?" Al looked at his father and nodded slowly. So while waiting for a reply, Al could only wait patiently.

The morning sun is always pleasant, but even though it's spring, an adjective like warm like spring is never suitable for the West. The white air that comes out when you breathe reminds people that the West Realm does not tolerate such leisure as basking in the sun. For example, in the back forest of Thorn Castle, the sound of ping-pong swords sounded early in the morning, and Al was practicing with a teenager, and the old butler of Scheegman stood next to him.

Originally, Al was supposed to go to school, but the Duchess sent Al to the best aristocratic school in the West, hoping that he would have more contact with the crowd. However, after a few days of schooling, Al could not stand the aristocratic lessons such as art appreciation and the clumsy fencing lessons, and asked the duke and his wife to take a leave of absence, "If you want to learn etiquette, Lady Greer is the best etiquette teacher in all St. Deresa, if you want to learn fencing, why don't I find an old butler? "But we want you to get in touch with other people, as the heir of the Iron Thorn family, you must always learn to deal with people. The Duchess frowned, "But who can I get into contact with at school?" Al gestured helplessly, "Half of them are avoiding me with a frightened gaze, and half of them are flattering me with a flattering smile, what can you learn from dealing with them?" Madame, if you really want to teach me how to deal with people, why don't you have two more balls and invite those nobles over, knowing that they are the masters among them. As he spoke, Al bowed to the place where no one was, "These adults are well-dressed and elegant, and while talking to the person in front of them, they are thinking about how to get this person's wife to bed, and no one is better at dealing with people than these noble lords." "Little El, you speak too harshly, how can a nobleman say such vulgar things. The Duchess gave Al a disgusted look, but the laughing lady agreed to Al's request. However, after that, the Iron Thorn family held two rare balls in a row, which caused a shock in the social circles of the West, and everyone speculated about the meaning of the duke and duchess, which is all a story for later.

Although his time at school was short, Al got to know some interesting people, such as Mr. Freeman Spalletti, with whom he was practicing his sword. Unlike Al's ordinary appearance, Mr. Freeman can be called handsome, with pale blonde hair shining slightly in the sun, a beautiful and deep face like a sculpture of a famous artist, and the most flattering thing is the eyes, which reveal persistence and kindness in their blue eyes. If Al was half the school avoiding him with a fearful gaze and half flattering him with a flattering smile, then Freeman could be said to be half the boys jealous of him and the half girls adoring him. However, more than his appearance, what made him more popular with girls was the surname Spalletti, and the Spalletti family had been transporting various supplies for the Iron Thorn family since a very early age, thus accumulating a rich fortune. And Sasha Spalletti's generation, that is, Freeman's father's generation, has opened shops all over the West, whether it is the capital City of Thorns, or a remote town on the border, you can always see the signboard of Spalletti's shop, and after Sasha Spalletti's efforts, the surname Spalletti has finally become synonymous with gold coins in the West. Although the name does not have the embellishment of aristocrats, what aristocratic lord would ignore the hands handed by Mr. Sasha Spalletti. What's even better is that, like Al, Mr. Sasha has only one child, Freeman, which means that Mr. Freeman Spalletti is the Spalletti family, the heir to tens of millions of gold coins, what an amazing charm.

Freeman, however, had no knowledge or interest in the family business, and his ambition was to become a knight. He quarreled with his father countless times for this, and ran away from home for it. Mr. Sasha once lamented in public: "The bill I signed can bankrupt a business bank in an instant, and can make thousands of families live without food and clothing." I can't let my son look at the ledger even once. He would rather recite the eight virtues of a knight than look at the lovely numbers. Whoever can make him give up that knightly dream, I am willing to give him half of my possessions. But just as the gentle Duchess would always agree to Al's request, Mr. Sasha, who had been angry and reprimanded countless times, still had no choice but to send Freeman to learn swordsmanship, and later cheekily sent Freeman to Fort Thorns, so that Freeman could establish Al's followers. Let Freeman follow Al, he will no longer be stupid to run to the front line to die, and Mr. Sasha is finally relieved to think of this.

"Freeman, if there's something you have to do, but it's extremely difficult, what do you say?" said Al softly during the break in sword practice, wondering if he was asking questions or muttering to himself. Freeman turned his head to look at Al, who looked up at the sky, his face shrouded in spring light, a little glaring and a little blurry.

"Master Al, I'm not a wise man. There is no workaround. But when I wanted to learn the sword, my father got angry. Freeman shuddered as he spoke, as if recalling the original scene, "Later, my father even stopped my living expenses. I didn't think much about it, I just thought that no matter what I did, I ran away from home and went to swordsmanship, at that time I was so tired during the day that I couldn't even eat, and I was so nauseous that I vomited as soon as I ate it, I had to force myself to eat, and I couldn't rest at night, I had to go to work to earn living expenses, and when my father found me later, he didn't recognize me, but until now, I have never regretted it for a moment. Freeman said to Al seriously.

Al was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face. Say it when you do it? yes, do it again. Al, who was in high spirits, shouted at the old butler, "Old butler, I'm a little hungry, please bring some food." Taking advantage of the old butler's absence, Al mysteriously poked Freeman: "Freeman, did you bring things?" Freeman's face turned red, and he looked around like a frightened rabbit, and saw that there was no one around, so he took out a few books from his bag and handed them to Al, and couldn't help but complain when he handed them: "Young Master Al, can you not let me do such a thing, I wear a cloak to buy these things in that kind of place, and I dare not see people like this for the first time in my life." Al took the book and hid it, and said in surprise, "Freeman, aren't you my guard? Didn't you swear to follow me wholeheartedly? Freeman had never seen such a scoundrel, and he was so choked up that he had nothing to say, so he could only ignore Al. Seeing this, Al smiled evilly and leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Freeman, it's rare that you can find that kind of place, have you seen it beforehand?" Freeman, who couldn't bear it, drew his sword and said to Al, "Young Master Al, you're almost rested, let's continue practicing." Looking at Freeman's embarrassment, Al burst out laughing, and sure enough, Mr. Freeman was an interesting person.

After his sparring with Freeman, Al heads straight to the library for cultural studies, where Al's personal tutor, Mr. Felipe, is waiting for him. Different from the dress of ordinary teachers and scholars, the old gentleman who is over seventy years old is dressed in a dress, in fact, he is not a teacher, what the Iron Thorn Family needs is not a good student who follows the rules, but an excellent heir, an excellent future Lord of the West, in this regard, Mr. Felipe, who has just retired, has thirty years of experience as a foreign officer, and has assisted two generations of Iron Thorn Family Masters in governing the West, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Mr. Al, I must warn you that you are seven minutes and thirty-two seconds late for class, this is the first time you have been late for five days of class, I think you will give me a reasonable reason, right?" Mr. Felipe, who was holding a pocket watch in one hand, looked at Al sternly, unlike ordinary people, Mr. Felipe would neither call Al "Master Al" nor use an honorific title like you on Al, just as stubborn and strict as the pocket watch in his hand.

"I'm so sorry, sir, I overpracticed and forgot the time, I promise not next time. Al didn't find any other reason, but bowed and apologized sincerely.

"Remember, Mr. Al: everyone makes mistakes, but the Goddess of Victory favors those who don't step into the same river. ”
