The old man did not answer, but stood there hunched between him and Orion. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Teacher, are you alright?" Orion asked worriedly, as she hurriedly stepped out from behind the caretaker's desk, helping the old man.

The old man smiled in a dry and hoarse voice and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think." This level of activity alone is not a problem. ”

"You don't have to worry, old gentleman. A light flashed above Ray's head, and Sui Xiong cast a spell to cover the area, and then appeared, "I don't mean to be unfavorable to Orien, I really want her to become the next Viscount." ”

"Oh, a god?" the old man raised his head, his wrinkled face had a pair of bright eyes that were completely different from the whole person's style, and his eyes were so sharp that the swept thunder had the illusion of being scratched, and he looked directly at Sui Xiong without fear.

After a long time, the old man lowered his head again, hiding his sharp gaze.

"I see, let's go to the house and talk about it. ”

As a pioneer leader, there are very few people in Gerten City who like to read, and the library is quite deserted. If it weren't for the fact that the believers of the god of wisdom and magic, the god of the scriptures, would have used this place as a temple, which would have slightly increased its popularity, it would have been almost like a haunted house.

Orion found a priest and asked him to take a temporary shift, and returned to her room with her teacher and the unreliable deity and the deity's mount who wanted to make her a viscount.

Orion's room was small and plainly furnished, not at all like a young girl's residence. If it weren't for the fact that there was a small rabbit doll on the bedside table, revealing a bit of girlish feelings, it would be like the home of an old nerd.

There are books everywhere, and although the paper is not good, they are finely bound, which shows that Orien did put a lot of thought into copying and binding them.

Noticing Ray's gaze, Orien was not shy, and said calmly: "Transcribing and producing low-grade books is my main source of income. It's a pity that there are too few people here who love to read, or rather, too few of the valuable books I can find. ”

"Then when you become a viscount, you can put some effort into promoting culture and strengthening education. Sui Xiong said, "I don't think you look like a person who likes to live a luxurious life, saving some extravagant expenses, you can do a lot of things." ”

"But the decency of the nobility is also very important and cannot be overlooked. Ray said as he remembered something and shook his head, "Oh, it doesn't matter to you. With such a strong man as your teacher, as long as you don't do something angry and resentful, other nobles look up to you and look down on you, it's not worth mentioning. ”

Orianne froze for a moment, then turned to look at the teacher.

She's not stupid, it's just that she hasn't been exposed to real aristocratic life in the past, and she can't think of many things. As a young girl with a broken side, her nobility gave her nothing but a Gerten surname and a decent job.

Whether it is a noble gathering or an aristocratic education, these things have nothing to do with her - in fact, as early as her father's time, he has been reduced from a nobleman to an ordinary citizen. It's nothing more than a love of incense, and you can get a little benefit from the Viscount's Mansion from your fingers, and you can maintain a life that is not rich but not poor.

Her parents died young, and she grew up in the library from an early age. With books as companions, the only friends are believers in the god of books. The nerds had always wanted to recruit her into the church, but her easy-going personality was stubborn about her beliefs, and she only believed in gods who she identified with. She did not disapprove of the concept of "caring for books, collecting books, and inheriting civilization", but she could not agree with it.

Loving books can only be said to be a hobby, or personal cultivation, and if you take it as a life concept, it is too thin!

Originally, if there were no accidents, Orion's life would probably be to read as a hobby, copy books as a career, and be a bookworm for a lifetime. In the future, find a man who is safe to start a family and have children...... That's how this life passed. But when she was ten years old, her fortunes took a huge turn.

While looking for books in the library, she stumbled upon the old man who swept the floor, who was able to jump into the high bookshelves!

This skill is quite amazing for a veteran adventurer, let alone Orion, who is still a child. She immediately became interested, and after grinding hard for more than half a year, she finally persuaded the old grandfather to agree to accept her as a student and teach her some skills......

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, she is fifteen years old. What Orianne learned from her grandfather was not only the strange ability to fly on the wall, but also a lot of principles of being a person and doing things. Coupled with a wide range of books, before she knew it, she had grown into an outstanding talent with both civil and military skills.

Therefore, when Sui Xiong cast a spell and looked for "the most suitable talent to lead the Gelteng Collar", he naturally found her.

"If it's 'the most suitable person to lead the Gerten Ling'...... Wouldn't it be more appropriate for Master Romon?" asked Orian, "after all, he has almost mastered the Gerten Collar, and he is indeed very talented." ”

"But he's a fake, after all. Sui Xiong said.

"Bloodline or something, it's actually very easy to fake. "Orien really knows a lot, "I've seen that it is said that ordinary high-level mages can perform it, but the material cost of the ritual is slightly more expensive. ”

"But what is fake is fake after all, and there is always the possibility of being exposed in the future. Sui Xiong said.

"Although the bloodline inheritance ritual cannot be lifted with the 'Advanced Dismantling Magic', it can be lifted with the 'Demonic Energy Disintegration'. The old man, who had been silent, spoke, "But 'Demonic Energy Disintegration' is a legendary spell, and there are very few people who know it. But since there is a god who wants to help you, ask Him to help make such a scroll. ”

Seeing that the teacher also showed promise, Orien's eyes finally lit up.

Sui Xiong smiled slightly and said, "Then let's decide, you will be this viscount." ”

"Wait!" the old man interrupted before Orien could reply, he raised his head and looked at his disciple earnestly, "I want to remind you first that being a lord is a hard and dangerous thing. From the moment you sit in that seat, a peaceful and peaceful life will be far away from you. You're going to have to spend your days dealing with intrigue and calculations, fighting with all sorts of people you don't like, with wits or force. In many cases, you will have to compromise and not simply do what you want. Many times, even a trivial matter will have to work hard and take a twist and turn to succeed. ”

"You will be exhausted and there will be no more leisure, you will have blood on your hands, there will be no innocence, you will fight all day long, there will be no peace...... Even so, don't you regret it?"

Orien was silent for a while, then whispered, "I think there are a lot of things in the Gerten Territory that are bad and need to be changed. I want to put my talents to good use in more places, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, just like the sages recorded in the book. I even want to have a book in the library about my deeds in the future...... I'm still a little nervous, but I'll try to do it well!"

The old man smiled, lowered his head again, and said nothing more.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to do a good job!" Sui Xiong patted the girl's head lightly with his tentacles, and silently recited two lines of poetry in his heart.

If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil?

Girl, I am optimistic about you!

Unbeknownst to the two sides of the battle in the Viscount's Palace, in a simple hut in the deserted library of Gerten City, the outcome of the battle for the inheritance of this territory has been decided.

Even for a few people in the hut, the most important thing was not really this thing.

"This old gentleman, I don't know what to call it?" After solving the problem of the inheritance of the Viscount of Gerten, Sui Xiong tried to talk to the mysterious old man again.

The old man smiled: "In front of the gods, I dare not call me old. The despicable man is called Wall, but now he is called Fry. People who know me call me Old Fry...... Hehe, few people will call this name, after all, I have lived in seclusion here for almost fifty years. ”

"Wall...... Wohl ......" Ray muttered to himself, repeating the name several times, and finally remembered its origin, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You are the 'Black Blade' Walr?! Because of the murder of his family, he assassinated the Duke of the Holy Fire of the Holy Angel Kingdom with one person and one sword, and then killed the Holy Fire City under the siege of thousands of troops, and never knew what happened to the end? It turns out that you are still alive!"

He was so excited that he seemed to have met the object of his adoration. Even because of the excitement, the heart defense, which had been tightly closed, was opened a lot, allowing Sui Xiong to clearly see the scene reflected in his heart.

In a gorgeous room, a boy of about ten years old was learning swordsmanship from a very serious old man in a wig.

During the break, the young man asked, "Teacher, you often say, 'A good nobleman should master politics, and no matter how powerful his swordsmanship is, he will not be able to defeat the hand that holds political power'. So are there any exceptions in this world?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Of course, there are exceptions. For example, thirty years ago, when the Duke of the Holy Fire of the Holy Angel Kingdom wanted to storm the legendary realm, hunt down civilians with evil biological bloodlines among the people, and purify them with flames as sacrifices to please the Lord of Glory (another name for the sun god), and the dead were so large that the people complained, but they were helpless. Later, an adventurer named Walr was killed because of his family, and before the Duke of the Holy Fire held a promotion ceremony, he took advantage of the night when he was bathing and guarding the ring to enter the Glorious Cathedral of the Holy Fire City, killing the Duke of the Holy Fire and several high-ranking church officials, and killing many guards, and finally broke through the siege in the night, broke out of the Holy Fire City, and left. ”

"You see, when swordsmanship reaches a certain level, it can indeed be above power. Merely...... If you want to reach that realm, it is more difficult than becoming a king!" the old man smiled kindly, stroking the young man's head, "After all, for you, there is still some hope for being a king......

"Teacher, you look down on people!" The young man who was teased immediately puffed out his cheeks, "I want to become such a supreme master!

"Okay, good, you must be able to ......"
