Chapter 22: Mikal
In Jack's study, the old butler stood in front of the solid wood desk, calling Jack helplessly, and Jack was taking a nap on the desk at this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Young Master......"
"Young Master!"
"Huh?" Jack, who woke up, immediately propped his head up, blinked his somewhat misty eyes, and finally saw the gentle smile of the old butler.
"It's Luke...... What's the matter, did you have all the convenient ways to make money that you thought of before?" asked Jack, who had been studying magic all night last night, and although he had meditated for two hours in the morning, he was still struck down by sleepiness after eating.
"Young master, it's like this......" The old butler's expression was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, I know it's a bit hard for you, Luke, that's not your specialty, after all, and I can't force you to think about things you're not good at. Jack nodded knowingly, "Actually, I thought about it last night, and in my personal experience, it's the same as those books say, how about I become a musician?"
"It's not good, young master, you must know that the greatest pianist in the Western Continent now, the performance fee for a performance is only one gold coin. Luke retorted, "And young master, that's not what I want to say......"
"Is the status of a musician so low?" Jack interrupted Luke again.
"In the Western Continent, the status of musicians is indeed relatively low, after all, people have the inherent impression that people who do music are often lonely and far away from life. Besides, the power of the goddess of music is not strong in the Western Continent, but in the Northern Continent controlled by the Holy See, the status of musicians is relatively high, but they are all religious music. It seems that because he has noticed that Jack has been paying attention to this money-making problem, Luke doesn't plan to change the topic, let's let the young master talk about it first!
"What about a restaurant?" asked Jack again, and it was very emotional to think about bringing the food of another world to this world.
"First of all, young master, we already have no principal, and with Viscount Vader's obstruction, the state-controlled bank will not lend to us. Secondly, it is difficult for us to hire famous chefs, and if a restaurant does not have a three-star certification from the Arcane Council, it is easy to lose money and increase profits. ”
"Why don't I be a writer?" Jack suggested again, "Honestly, I'm pretty confident when it comes to writing!"
"This may be a good choice, because of the successful marketing methods of several major newspapers, coupled with the support of the goddess of literature, the status of writers in the Western Continent is still very high, and with the success of the work, the income will also rise, but, young master, it is a good thing to have self-confidence, but the road of writers is too difficult, both opportunities and strength are very important, of course I believe in the strength of the young master, but sometimes luck is also very important, I think the young master can try, but be prepared to fail. ”
Luke's words were said very carefully, carefully considering the choice of words, but undoubtedly from the bottom of his heart, Jack listened carefully, but his heart was not happy, to put it bluntly, the old butler was not worried about his strength? But who is he, he is a man who has his back to the literature of this world, and he can scare others to death if he throws out a little bit.
"Don't worry, Luke, writing is just a side hustle, I'm a magician, but you know, my self-confidence is not groundless, to be honest, my creative ability is really strong!"
"Yes, Master Jack!"
"I don't think you believe it, wait, wait for me to become famous for you!" As soon as he was interested, Jack immediately found a pen and paper, and he planned to copy a copy of "The Lord of the Rings" to open the old butler's eyes.
After writing for a while, Jack suddenly noticed that the old butler was still standing in front of him, and suddenly asked a little strangely, "What's the matter, is there anything else, Luke?"
"Young Master, Mr. Mikal Luan wants to see you. ”
"Luan?" When he heard this surname, a strong hatred suddenly rose in Jack's heart, and after slightly reviewing the memories of his predecessor, Jack finally knew who this Luan was.
Mikal Luan, the only son of Viscount Melson Luan, was Jack's closest playmate because Melson Luan was a close confidant of the deceased Earl Scarlet and the head of the city guard in Ember City, so Mikal Luan was Jack's closest playmate, and the two grew up together as brothers.
Because of this relationship, if Uncle Jack's seizure of power makes Jack angry, then Viscount Luan's family's behavior of falling to Vader is a betrayal for Jack.
Betrayal is always hateful, and it is this hatred that makes two close friends break up and turn against each other.
It is precisely because this hatred is too unforgettable that the remnant soul of the previous Jack suddenly floated violently, which made Jack also have a sympathetic hatred.
At this time, it is time to use the common sentence form of taking away the sacrifice, Jack, who has read a bunch of time-traveling novels, endured his headache and swore in his heart and said: "Jack, since I occupy this body of yours, then I will also inherit this cause and effect for you, you can rest assured, I will definitely help you avenge the unjust, punish those who are unjust, protect your two sisters, and help you revive the Scarlett family by the way." ”
The god babbled a few words, but Jack didn't find any effect, and the remnants of the soul in his body were still rioting, and he didn't disperse with relief.
"Ah, it's not just punishment, that's right, I'll help you kill those bad guys, kill those you hate, how about it, satisfied?"
Jack, who thought his solution wasn't good enough, proposed it again, but it still didn't work, and there was no such thing as a remnant soul being relieved and a new body and soul merging perfectly, as in the novel.
Jack, who didn't know why, observed for a while, and he found that the remnant soul of that Jack was just a fragment formed by obsession, just a fragment of the soul that he hadn't absorbed for the first time, so they couldn't respond to his actions, and they were unconscious wastes, usually lurking in the spiritual sea, and would become active under certain circumstances, causing damage to Jack's current soul, if they weren't cleared, Jack would suffer a big loss sooner or later.
Jack, who was still having a headache, suddenly realized that now, when they were active, was a good time to eliminate them. Jack, who entered meditation in an instant, manipulated his mental power to scatter the fragments one by one, and the terrible headache disappeared completely.
Without the annoying headache and unfounded hatred, Jack's mood suddenly improved, and he smiled and thought triumphantly in his heart: "I am not happy to let you not accept my conditions, and I am not happy to help you take revenge, now it's okay! Haha, your revenge is completely gone, and as for punishing the unrighteous, I don't have that time! haha! And the family you want to protect...... Ah, this, of course the two younger sisters have to be protected, but I'm really sorry for the revival you said, so I won't play such a childish game of revival family with you!"
"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master Jack!" Luke's call pulled Jack back to the real world from his crookedness. Jack just now showed pain and pray, and at the end he laughed cheaply, this wave of twists and turns made Luke very worried, so he hurriedly asked, "Young Master, how are you, is there anything uncomfortable?"
"I—what's wrong with me?, Luke, I'm telling you, it's been all the time, it's like, it's the first time I've felt so good!"
"Yes, young master, are you really alright? Do you want me to ask the priest to take a look? You just looked like you were in pain. Luke was still uneasy.
"It's okay, it's totally fine, I'm healthy now!" Jack snapped his fingers excitedly, he thought of the unpleasant remnant rebellion before, and suddenly had a thought in his heart that he wanted to fight against his predecessor, "Luke, didn't you say someone wanted to see me? It's Carl!
"Young Master?"
"I want to meet him today, bring him in, I'm waiting for him in the reception room. ”
"Yes!"
Although he felt that Jack's performance today was too abnormal, Luke respectfully agreed.
He wasn't a master after all, but just a steward.
