Chapter 124 A Transaction
"That's the Siku family...... Children and grandchildren?" Seeing two figures running from the corner on the side, they didn't look very old, they should only be in their early tens, the young man squatted on the ground and didn't care, he didn't care how much mud he had on his body, he only cared about the flowers and plants in front of him, and when he heard Pien's question, the young man raised his head, looked at Pian with clear green eyes, and said lightly, "They are indeed members of the Siku clan." ”
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of you...... Who is it?" asked the young man, raised his eyebrows, turned his head and stopped talking, concentrating on fiddling with the soil in front of him, seeing this, he didn't ask anything, and followed him to turn over the soil, and after a while, he clapped his hands and stood up, "I think I should go back." ”
The young man snorted and didn't look back, he smiled helplessly, this sex is colder than Burns, and it is already cold. "Then I'll go first, and I'll see you later. After saying that, the young man slowly turned his head to look at the pity, pursed the corners of his lips slightly and did not speak again, threw a seed into the soil, covered it with his palm, and a faint glimmer of light seeped out from the palm of the young man's palm and penetrated directly into the ground, and after a while, a tender green bud broke through the soil.
"Miss Bella, where have you been, why are your hands covered with mud?" Patriarch Siku couldn't help frowning when he saw the mud in his palm, and smiled pitifully, "It's nothing, go to the Flower Garden, the Flower Garden of the Siku clan is good, let me linger." ”
The Siku patriarch smiled inexplicably embarrassed, and the rest of the Siku clan looked a little weird, "Huh...... The garden is like that, it's just some flowers and plants, if Miss Bella likes it, you can go to the treasure room, there must be something in it that Miss Bella likes. ”
"No, I love flowers and plants. Said with a smile, and the Siku patriarch laughed awkwardly, "That's it...... Miss Bella is good at gardening?"
"It's not proficient, but I just know a little bit about it, which gardener is taking care of the flower garden, and the craftsmanship is really good. ”
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to be a little solemn, and the expressions of the people of the Siku clan were a little strange, and the Siku patriarch laughed dryly, "It's just a florist who has been invited, it's his honor to be able to make Miss Bella praise, lunch is ready, Miss Bella, please." ”
It was an unusually sumptuous lunch, and most of the Siku clan had arrived, filling the long table, and no matter who it was, they all looked at it curiously, this person who was not shallow in the imperial capital, and this cardinal's current celebrity.
After a closer look, the boy was not among them, was he the servant's child? He looked a few years younger than himself, but his personality was too old. A few children sitting behind the long table caught mercy's attention, and two of them resembled the ones who had just thrown mud.
"Is Miss Bella still happy with this lunch?" asked the Siku Patriarch, who nodded pitifully, "I'm satisfied, and he's hospitable. ”
The Siku patriarch Ha Luha smiled, and Ren began to talk, the conversation lasted for a long time, and the others did not interject, but listened quietly, and Pian understood a little, the Siku patriarch meant to let Ren say more good things about the Siku clan in front of the cardinal, and Ren could mention any needs to the Siku clan in the future, as long as they could be satisfied, the Siku clan would definitely do it.
She smiled lightly, if she hadn't had such an identity, the Siku clan would treat her like this? she was just a little girl in the eyes of the Siku clan when she first came to the imperial capital, and she smiled pitifully, "I personally don't have any needs, maybe the family may need help in the future." ”
Patriarch Siku's eyes lit up, "Why don't the Bella clan move to the imperial capital? Isn't there more development in the imperial capital? How can the imperial capital be compared to other places! If the Bella clan can come to the imperial capital, the Siku clan will definitely take care of the whole process, Miss Bella can rest assured." ”
"Hehe, it's not too late, it's not time. "Pity said, the Siku patriarch didn't say it again, mercy's attitude is obvious, you are not ready to be courteous, wait slowly, if you are in the initial relationship, you will ask for the benefits of the other party, and you can only be used by the other party after the most lucrative.
Lian thought about this very thoroughly, her friendship with the Siku clan is not very good, if she comes to the imperial capital rashly, there is indeed a Siku clan to take care of it, but the Bella clan also owes a lot of affection, which is different from the Grimm clan, Xia Hai and Mercy have a personal relationship, and they have no intentions for the Bella clan, they are sincere help, and if they can do anything for the Grimm clan, they are also willing.
The Siku clan is a different story entirely, unless...... The ruler of Siku can be replaced, just like Xia Hai.
After a long discussion at the dinner table, Ren found an opportunity to ask, "I saw a young man at the back of the Flower Garden, he is the caretaker of the Flower Garden, right?"
There was silence again, and the Siku patriarch's eyes widened, "Miss Bella, did you see that kid?"
"yes, he's very good at gardening, and I've got a few things to teach him. Lian said lightly, secretly sweeping the expressions of the Siku clan, and felt more and more that the young man's identity was strange.
"Uh, yes, is that so, what did that kid say to Miss Bella?" asked the Siku patriarch cautiously, raising an eyebrow, "No, he doesn't seem to like to talk much. ”
"That's the son of the gardener, and the gardener hasn't been here these days, so he does all the work of the flower garden. Someone from the Siku clan spoke, and the Siku patriarch immediately nodded, "That's right, that kid is that kind of personality, he doesn't like to come into contact with people, it's good that he didn't say anything rude." ”
Pity raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and looked at the Siku patriarch, "The children of the Siku clan, throw mud at him." ”
The Siku patriarch was stunned for a moment, "Did you throw it on Miss Bella?"
"No, it's just that he's doing his best to take care of the garden for the Siku clan, and that's not a good way to treat him." ”
"Miss Bella misunderstood, it was a child's play, there was no malice, and we will warn the child not to do it again. The rest of the Siku clan spoke, and the Siku patriarch laughed dryly, "That's right, that's right. ”
Ren felt more and more strange, but these were the household chores of the Siku family, and she didn't want to ask much, but the young man's talent in gardening was indeed extraordinary, and if he could discuss it with Big Brother Seth, Big Brother Seth would definitely be overjoyed.
"He's not young, hasn't he entered the academy to study?" Ren asked casually, and the people of the Siku clan tugged at the corners of their mouths, "How can a person with such an identity enter the academy to study?"
Rei frowned slightly, and didn't say anything more, she didn't want to meddle in things. At the end of lunch, Ren was going to say goodbye, but he inexplicably wanted to go back to the back of the flower garden to have a look, and the young man made him care a lot. Skillfully branched everyone away, mercy went back to the back of the flower garden again, mercy opened her eyes in astonishment, this place was still dry when she left, and now when she came here, the seeds had been planted and sprouted!
It would never take so little time for a seed to germinate, and it would take a night to germin......ate even if it was fast! Unless it is used by the power of the priesthood!
Is it him? That young man is a priest? Pian opened his eyes wide and looked at the area in front of him, where there were no less than dozens of sprouted seeds! In a short period of time, he was able to make so many seeds sprout!
Ren suddenly looked up, and a young man with an indifferent face was standing in front of her, frowning very unhappily, "You stepped on them." ”
Rei moved her steps away, "These seeds...... You made them sprout?"
The young man silently squatted on the ground and examined it, and answered the question, "Aren't you leaving?"
"You haven't answered my question yet. "If it was really him, he had the utmost priestly talent, just like Rose!
"Did I do it, is it strange?" the young man looked at Pi with some puzzlement, no wonder, he had not been exposed to any orthodox education at all so far, and in his cognition, perhaps he didn't even know the division of occupations!
"Knowing the way, this is the power of a priest. The young man frowned, "Priest?"
"Yes, priesthood is a profession, the only one in this world that can heal, they can heal wounds, dispel diseases, and even prolong and catalyze life! ”
The young man's clear eyes looked straight at the mercy, "The priest doesn't have any attack ability?"
"Yes, but the Priest's attack power is a bit lower than that of other classes, but the role of the Priest in battle is not comparable to that of other classes. ”
The young man's eyes flashed with interest, and he spoke again, "What have you done with your abilities so far? ”
Mercy's heart was beating a little fast, the young man in front of him had extremely high priestly talent, if he was allowed to receive better education and systematic training, his priesthood ability would soar ......to the sky! Maybe Xia Hai's leg will be healed!
The few priests he knew, Dean didn't forget it, it was obvious that he didn't do much work in healing when he was made a violent priest, and Rose, who had a very high priestly talent, had left, and the hope of being able to heal Xia Hai's legs might be in front of the young man!
"I've healed the legs of small birds, and many small animal wounds. The young man spoke lightly, and his pitiful eyes burst into surprise! God, his priestly talent was even higher than she had imagined!
"How about a deal between us?" the young man immediately looked at him vigilantly, "What do you want?"
"It's a deal, you have nothing to lose, I promise you the opportunity to get an orthodox education, and all the help you need, I have only one request. ”
"What request?" the young man looked at the pity, which seemed to be able to look directly into the bottom of the person's heart, and the pity's mouth tugged, "I hope you can heal my friend's leg." ”
The young man raised his eyebrows and looked at pity in surprise, "That's it?"
"That's it, I just need you to heal his leg. The corners of the young man's mouth rose, "Okay, I agree to this than the deal, but I'm not sure if the Siku clan will let them go." ”
"They said, "You are the son of a gardener." ”
"The gardener's son?" the young man's tone was cold, and he whispered at the end, "Hmph, the gardener's son, my new identity." The young man raised his head and showed a rather evil look, "It shouldn't be difficult to get a gardener's son away." ”
It suddenly dawned on him that this young man might not be as cold as the one from outside, and he and Burns ...... are two completely different personalities.
It would not be difficult to leave with the gardener's son, if he really was the gardener's son. "What are you talking about, Miss Bella, you're going to take that kid away?" Patriarch Siku looked incredulous and nodded pitifully, "When the gardener comes back, I don't think the gardener will refuse to let his son receive an orthodox education." ”
"But ......!" Patriarch Siku didn't know how to speak, anxious, and didn't want to give him a chance to say no, "Patriarch Siku, I still have to leave beforehand, of course, that young man is with me." ”
"Wait Miss Bella, this matter ......!" Patriarch Siku saw that he was about to leave, so he simply thought to himself, "Miss Bella, you can't take that kid away!"
"What's the matter?" a gardener's son, I can't wait for the gardener to come back. ”
"That's not what you mean, kid...... I don't deserve such attention from Miss Bella!" Patriarch Siku seemed to find an opportunity to speak, and continued to follow the conversation, "What is the identity of that kid, what is Miss Bella's identity, and why is Miss Bella so concerned about him?"
"Patriarch Siku, that young man is not some gardener's son, is he?" said Pian, and Patriarch Siku was stunned, "Yes, yes. ”
"If it is, what is it for the purpose of blocking it in every possible way? The son of the gardener, the Siku patriarch can't care so much. The eyes were cold, and the face of the Siku patriarch trembled a few times, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he was simply heartbroken!
"It is true that the boy is not the son of a gardener, he is mine...... Bastard!" After the Siku patriarch finished speaking, he exhaled deeply, and his brows furrowed, bastard? That young man turned out to be the illegitimate son of the Siku patriarch? No wonder he laughed so much at the identity of this gardener's son, no wonder the other children of the Siku clan did that to him!
"With all due respect, that kid can't go with Miss Bella, I won't allow it!" Patriarch Siku said categorically, and he didn't understand a little, how many nobles nowadays have no illegitimate children? No bastard is treated so badly, and Patriarch Siku is so evasive, the origin of this illegitimate child...... It must be unspeakable.
That boy must leave with him!
"Patriarch Siku, what if this is what Lord Sokaron asked?" Patriarch Siku's eyes widened with a word of mercy, "Miss Bella, what does this mean?"
"Lord Sokaron once instructed me to help him find some seedlings with good qualifications. ”
The words of pity made the Siku patriarch's heart flutter, could it be that the kid was taken by the cardinal? So that kid was able to enter the Imperial Academy! Thinking of this, the joy of the Siku patriarch was overflowing, if that kid could really enter the Imperial Academy, it would also be useful to the Siku family!
"He can't get into the Imperial Academy, he doesn't have any orthodox education, and there's no way I'm going to send him to the Imperial Academy. Pity extinguished the thoughts of the Siku Patriarch, and the Siku Patriarch smiled a little embarrassed, "Miss Bella is right, what qualifications does that kid have to enter the Imperial Academy. ”
"Decentralize, I want to see what his qualifications are, and if it's not good, I'll send it back. Pity said lightly, and the Siku patriarch frowned, so it seems that the kid is a blessing or a curse. But it's not a matter for this kid to always be kept at home like this, he himself is upset, not to mention the rest of the family, if you can send him out, it is also a good idea, the family is a lot quieter, if he can get a little relationship with Miss Bella, then the time will ......
The Siku patriarch thought about it and decided not to be disobedient to her intentions, it would be no good to offend her. The last one could only nod and agree, but he said to the young man for a while before leaving, and the young man listened expressionlessly and didn't have any reaction, and the Siku patriarch said something and pushed him forward, "Miss Bella, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must come again." ”
"If I have the chance, I will come. The young man silently followed behind the regent, the Siku patriarch looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, but the young people of the Siku clan were dissatisfied, by the way, how could such a good opportunity not be on his head? Bella's personal recommendation, are you still worried about not being able to enter the Imperial Academy?
"What did the Siku Patriarch say to you?" asked the young man, who was silent for a moment before speaking, "Let me curry favor with you and lay the foundation for the future of the Siku clan." ”
Ren chuckled softly, "You're going to do that?"
The boy glanced at the pity, "Of course not. ”
Ren nodded, if he did, she would send him back immediately, without any hesitation. "I already know your identity, do you still want to go back?" ”
"I want to explain to you that I will not send you to the Imperial Academy, I will send you to one of the academies of the third-class kingdom, although it is a third-class kingdom, that academy will not disappoint you. ”
"Where did you study?" asked the boy, smiling softly, "yes, I'm a graduate of that academy. ”
The boy nodded, not too concerned about where to study, and looked at him pitifully, "How old are you this year?"
"Seventeen years old. The boy replied, thinking that he was going to be a transfer student, and I hope Dean wouldn't teach him some nonsense. After an afternoon, Ren handed the boy a letter that had been written, "Take this, and I'll have someone take you to the Lambe Academy, and then you can give this letter to Mentor Dean." ”
"What does Dean look like?"
Lian thought for a moment, "A man about thirty years old, a good woman." ”
The young man nodded after hearing this, "Zhilu said, an old rascal." ”
Ren couldn't help but laugh, and the two stayed in a café for a while, and soon two able-bodied warriors walked in, "Miss Bella, the captain called us over, what do you command?"
The young man raised his eyebrows, he still knew the verdict, could it be that it was the people from the adjudication institute who sent him back this time? This woman's ability is not small.
"Thank you, Lord Shin, this time I want to trouble the two of you to send him to the Lombey Academy in the Kingdom of Lal. Pity pointed at the young man, and the two warriors smiled, "That's no problem, when will you leave?"
"Let's go right now. The young man was stunned for a moment, and after a while, the carriage was arriving, and the young man handed him a card, "There are two million on it, which is enough for your expenses and needs." ”
The young man looked at the card, and took it unceremoniously, his dark eyes sank, "I hope you don't miss the appointment, if you can't fulfill the request I said, what I gave you will also come back intact." ”
The young man curled the corners of his lips, quite evil, "How about setting a deadline?"
"Five years, I'll only give you five years." ”
The boy lowered his eyes, "Five years...... Good. ”
The boy boarded the carriage, and the two escort soldiers followed, and he saw the carriage leave, hoping that he had not made a mistake this time. In five years, a person who has never received any education can grow to what extent he doesn't know how far he can go, this kind of thing is urgent, but he doesn't want to drag it out any longer, all this that the Green clan has done for the Bella clan, Xia Hai has provided these helps, she has not repaid half a point so far, she can repay him, in addition to healing his legs, what else?
The young man in the carriage turned around, looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, and withdrew his gaze, Five years, you can't help but underestimate me.
The two warriors were very curious about the identity of the young man and the pity, and asked a few words and found that the young man did not answer and stopped asking, the road was very calm, nothing happened, after a long period of time, the carriage came to the territory of the Kingdom of Laar, and came to the Rombe Academy in the city of Lumbe, and now the Lambe Academy is already the premier first-class college in the Kingdom of Ral.
Sending the boy to the place, the two soldiers immediately returned, the young man stood alone outside the gate of the Lombe Academy, looking at everything in the iron gate, there was still a little yearning in his heart, a figure walked out of the academy, a very handsome man with tall and tall facial features, all the way and the female student laughed and walked over, the young man squinted his eyes slightly, he should be Dean.
Dean saw a very handsome young man standing outside the school gate, he was silent, but he didn't call anyone when he stood outside, Dean walked over, and saw the young man staring at him, "You are Dean Mentor." ”
Dean was surprised, he didn't remember that Lombe Academy had recruited such a student, how did he know about himself?
"Boy, what are you doing standing here?" Dean pushed open the iron door and walked out, and the boy pulled out a letter and handed it over, "It's pity." Bella's for you. ”
Dean was stunned, is that the little girl?
Taking the letter over, Dean read the letter, the boy looked at Dean's expression, he didn't know what was written on the letter, but through Dean he vaguely understood that the content of the letter might be ...... Less pleasing.
Dean finished reading it and folded the letter, "Come in, transfer student." ”
The boy was surprised, is this okay?Dean led the boy all the way forward, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "How did that girl describe me?"
The young man thought for a moment, and then spoke, "An old rascal." ”
Dean's temples jumped a few times, and the last one actually laughed, and after laughing, Dean patted the young man's shoulder, "In the next time, I will teach you well, don't worry." ”
Pian, who was far away in the imperial capital, felt a chill inexplicably, and Pian frowned intuitively, would it be wrong to hand over that kid to Dean?
------Off topic------
Dean, don't you mistake people's children...... Little mercy, I am deeply concerned about your decision......
