Chapter 5: Tifa

"Hmm, young master?"

As soon as he opened the basement door, an old but charming male voice rang in Jack's ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jack was surprised to find Luke, dressed in a dignified suit, standing in front of the door, his right hand raised, about to knock on the door.

"Hey, Luke, what's the matter?"

"Young Master, your guards have found ......"

"Third rank Black Iron Knight?" Jack confirmed, "has it arrived?"

"Yes, young master, so I was just about to take you to meet her. ”

"She? I noticed you used the word "she". ”

"Yes, a beautiful woman!" the old butler winked softly at Jack, giving the old-fashioned old man a touch of affection.

"Okay...... It's a miracle that this beautiful woman from Ember City hasn't been accepted into the harem by Mr. Vader. Naturally, Jack sarcastically remarked his merry uncle who usurped power.

"She is not from Ashen City, besides, young master, it is impossible for a third-level Black Iron Knight to be forcibly 'married' by Mr. Vader. ”

"But she's here because of the money after all, isn't she?" As soon as the money was mentioned, Jack, who was addicted to experiments, suddenly remembered their family's embarrassing financial situation, "Damn, three hundred gold coins a month, and the teacher didn't ask for that much money." ”

"Young Master, I think it's because Master Sheen didn't spend so much money for your sake, as far as I know, any magic experiment by a bronze mage will cost tens of thousands of gold coins. ”

"How can the teacher look at my face?" said Jack with a wry smile, "That's just the teacher's attempt to save his own face...... Forget it, Luke, take me to meet the guards you found!"

――――

The reception room on the first floor is still decorated in a gorgeous Rococo style.

Jack finally met the third-level knight guard.

She was sitting upright on a sofa with a gorgeous pattern, her long black hair fluttering down to her waist, her standard melon seed face with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and her red lips and a tall nose like jade, her face gathered all the beautiful features of oriental women, and people couldn't help but be fascinated by that delicacy.

With just one glance, Jack understood that this guard was really not from Ember City, rather, she didn't look like a person from the Western Continent at all, but more likely to come from the Eastern Continent - there weren't so many people with black hair and black eyes in the Western Continent.

The woman wore a white crop top sleeveless shirt and black leather shorts on the bottom, and her hands wore leather gloves inscribed with magic patterns, apparently enchanted weapons.

Seeing the arrival of Jack and Luke, the woman suddenly stood up, her figure was very good, convex and backward, and the slender legs sticking out of the leather shorts made Jack have the idea of "I can play for a lifetime".

Fortunately, Jack is not the kind of guy who falls crooked when he sees a beautiful woman and can't walk, he was just stunned, and then he stepped forward, nodded, and greeted according to etiquette:

"Hello, beautiful lady, I am Jack Scarlett, the owner of this manor, and the one who hired you as a guard. ”

"Hello, Mr. Jack, I'm Tifa Lockhart, I'm from the Eastern Continent, please give me a lot of advice in the future. Tifa smiled softly but strongly, and held out her right hand.

"Uh-......huh" After a moment, Jack shook her right hand, let go of the hand and said, "Please advise, well, your salary is 300 gold coins, I hope you can protect the safety of me and my two sisters, of course, if you are too busy, just give priority to ensuring the safety of my sister, I am confident, I still have some self-protection ability!"

"I think you must be a good brother. Tifa winked playfully, her deep black pupils flashing with wisdom, "Also, just call me Tifa!"

Keen observation makes Jack understand that this woman is not the kind of vase with big breasts and no brains, but on the contrary, she is full of wisdom.

"Well...... Tifa, I ask you, well, that you are here as a guard, and I don't want you to be a babysitter, or the kind of person who follows our family around, you just need to keep us safe when you go out, and you can move around freely at other times, okay, let Butler Luke show you around my manor first!"

Tifa nodded to Luke and said, "Please advise, Luke Steward." ”

"Well, please advise. Although he is not accustomed to this kind of greeting from the Eastern Continent, the elegant butler Luke still maintains the dignity of the nobility at all times.

"Well, you two should go shopping first, I'll go first!" Thinking about his successful [Fireball Technique], Jack hurriedly ran out of the door of the living room after saying goodbye.

"That, Steward Luke. Looking at the figure that hurried away, Tifa asked with some confusion, "Jack, no, what's wrong with Master Jack?"

"What's wrong, maybe I'm a little shy~" The old butler smiled gently, his eyes contained sadness, and he said a little teasingly, "The young master has been trapped in this manor for ten years, and he has no chance to deal with women of the same age!"

"By the way, Butler Luke, did you think Jack remembered?"

"What do you remember?" asked the old butler, turning his head in confusion.

"It's nothing, please take me around, Butler Luke!"

"As you wish, beautiful lady. ”

The training room of the five-ring archmage is about 100 square meters wide, and is built with multi-layer steel plates according to a special structure, which has strong earthquake resistance and strike resistance, and is also engraved with the two magic circles of [Magic Power Convergence] and [Mental Acuity], which will be easier to use or control magic in the training room.

Of course, it was built with Master Sheehan's own money, and now it's left to be cheap.

Closing the door and standing in the center of the empty room, Jack spread out the animal skin scroll in his hand, the scarlet magic array on it was mysterious and cruel, and he couldn't wait to enter the magic power in his hand.

As the magic array lit up with a dim light, countless energies gathered in front of Jack's eyes, and the air began to ionize wildly, constantly transforming from gas to active plasma.

Of course, that microscopic process was purely Jack's imagination.

A dark red fireball appeared in front of Jack.

It floats up and down, constantly swallowing Mars, like a small sun, emitting a huge amount of heat.

Jack's psychic power controls it through a magical link, feeling its irritability and fiery.

But soon, Jack's head hurts a little, and he hurriedly slams the fireball against a wall.

"Collapse !!"

There was a loud muffled sound, and black traces appeared on the dark silver steel walls, as if they were fireworks made of ashes.

"Oh ~ cool!" the success of the fireball technique made Jack can't help but shout.

Soon, after calming down, he looked at the data that [Xing] had analyzed.

Depending on the color of the fireball, it can be judged that its temperature is around 600 degrees Celsius.

This heat is completely enough to heat the air and propel the bullet.

However, the fireball's unique explosive properties make it extremely powerful, and at the same time, it is estimated that it will blow up the barrel of the gun, and more importantly, Jack can't control this magic accurately, his mental power is too low, ah, and the magic power consumed is too much, no, to be precise, the magic power of the magic apprentice is too little.

Jack's gun also faces a lot of problems.

Moreover, Jack also noticed that his own strength was also a big limit.

Maybe I'll become an official One Ring Mage soon!

(Tifa is my goddess!)
