Chapter 136: Abydia
Abydia has always been thoughtful.
Standing in front of Robbie's shop, Abidia Hill had mixed thoughts and racing, and confirmed for the last time that she had made a decision.
If Robbie Reynolds really has the potential to earn a knighthood, is he worthy of trust and loyalty?
For Abydia, this is not a reckless act extended by a bold speculation, but a fact that has been examined a lot.
Including discovering Robbie's secret at the port, he deliberately found the old house of the Reynolds family in the depths of the sea of flowers, and simply verified it.
- Robbie thinks he has discovered Abydia's secret, but he is not noticed by the mage, and he really underestimates the senses of the archmage.
He didn't know that while he was taking out his badge outside and admiring the beauty of natural light, Abidia, who had long been aware of the fact that the rich young man who was following him without knowing the height of the sky, had discovered him, and he had unexpectedly discovered the astonishing truth.
Abydia, who had served the duke all her life, naturally knew a lot of identifiers related to imperial power and high position, even more so than Mogan.
This is her capital to survive in the royal capital.
Abydia was not proud, nor was she ashamed, she did serve the Duke, but not exactly the Duke's loyal servant.
Compared with the ordinary family inheritance, the young deacon, who has been soaked in brainwashing education, has mixed with a period of abnormal education, and loyalty to her is just a habit, which can be corrected at any time.
She was unwilling to die for the sins of others.
As a steward, Abydia was born with a sense of service to a family with a title, as her family has played that role through generations.
Learning all aspects of knowledge, becoming a mage, and learning the magic of life are all necessary steps that are destined to become future realities from birth and the discovery of magical talents.
The deacon family is easy to retrain, but it is difficult to find a mage who can serve for dozens or hundreds of years.
Everyone mistakenly thought that Abidia, like many of her predecessors, was willing to go to the ducal family because of the deliberately cultivated sense of gratitude, but this was not the case.
Abidia's ambitions are not big or small, she just wants to live with her family, and the longer the better. She also doesn't like to get involved in too much strife and pays for it for no reason.
If everything is settled, the family side deals with it, and she also needs a reliable next home.
Mages also have to earn a living.
Abydia was accustomed to serving the nobility and considered herself a skilled worker to handle matters for her master.
Finding a job to feed the family is not just a maid, it's also a very simple need. As long as the master doesn't cause trouble or gets an inch, she can be included in the ranks of the next family - but it is not easy to gain the trust of the family in a high position.
The location is remote, but the hidden identity is quite significant, and the Reynolds family seems to be a potential stock.
What's more, the future "master" of this family, Robbie, who was stunned with the badge, seemed to be a guy who didn't know anything about the aristocracy.
If he wanted to return to the royal capital to prove his family identity, and obtain from the queen the family treatment and position that the original paladin badge owner deserved, things would be very different.
And if there really is a day, Abydia can give him advice.
Sending charcoal in the snow is often more real than icing on the cake. Abidia's ambition outside of survival is to make herself more high, to get more bonuses, and then retire early.
That's why Abydia came to Robbie Reynolds' shop, ready to test his own temperament and attitude.
It is best to have points in mind, and it is even more convenient to have a preliminary plan. After seeing Robbie as an "upstart", Abidia made a number of speculations about this conversation.
She confirmed the plan, saw that the door was open, and pushed the door in as a guest.
The formally dressed butler listened to the wind chimes ring again without changing his face, but he was stunned and frowned when he saw the young man sitting in the storefront.
Will hadn't seen the duke's butler yet, and only thought that maybe it was a young lady from Windsor Town, and it might be an ordinary regular customer who walked in directly, so he greeted him warmly.
"Hello! If you're wondering why it's me, not Mr. Reynolds, I'll take over Robbie Reynolds' shop from today. My name is Frank! ”
Abydia understood and nodded, except that it wasn't a surprise at first - after all, Robbie really didn't look like a long-term shopkeeper, and his performance when he met the Duke was enough to prove it.
She spoke in a gentle tone, "Then where does Robbie Reynolds live?" I'm here to find him. ”
Robbie and his mother don't both live in the Reynolds family's old house, as Abidia knew about it when it was confirmed.
The reason why I didn't ask for the address at the right time was because I understood that Robbie might be looking at the store at this point in time.
Will truthfully reported the address and watched as Abydia walked to the door, and the leg decoration happened to hit a sign that had been removed when he had cleaned the corner dust and had not had time to clean up.
"I'm sorry," Will explained hastily, now delving into hospitality, "this is Mr. Reynolds's previous stuff, and I'm going to clean it up slowly......"
Abidia didn't think it was too much of a problem, but thought that this child was very unfamiliar, but he was very good at being a person. But then she inadvertently glanced down and squinted.
In the gap, on the sign was a line of ugly handwriting and a very conspicuous slogan:
"Mages and dogs are not allowed."
Inexplicably, Abidia also has a temper, although she will succumb to the trouble of finding a job, so she secretly suppresses her thoughts.
Just before leaving, he threw a spell and cleared the handwriting on the sign, so as to avoid this rebellious slogan frightening the children who visited the store.
But walking out of the store and looking at the blue sky, Abidia felt a little uncomfortable.
She still remembered the crowd of village mages at the harbor who surrounded her.
They felt that this foreign mage was very powerful, and some even praised this kind of learning efficiency, and the qualifications of the great mage were no more than that.
Of course, this kind of mage of the Frontier Mage Association is short-sighted, so such a little praise is not a concern, as the duke's butler, Abidia has also seen a lot.
As an archmage, she knew very well that becoming a great mage did not happen overnight, nor was it something that could be achieved with talent.
- Even from childhood to adulthood, because of her wisdom and superhuman magical talent, everyone praised Abidia's extraordinary.
However, no one ever thought she could be a great magician. Studying magic isn't the only task of a butler, but with other jobs, she's still up to the level of an archmage, and Abydia knows she's good.
It's just good, too.
Becoming a Grand Magician is the ideal of many people who have made up their minds to learn magic.
Abidia did not think of such a thought, because she was more busy with work and caring for relatives, and put her feelings out of the way.
Great Magician?
That's just an unattainable name, not a dream, just a possibility.
That's a possibility.
Turning her head to look at the door of the store again, and thinking of the slogan that had been erased again, Abidia suddenly thought of a possibility:
If she cared about her feelings, what should she do as a mage who was supposed to be proud?
…… Abidia decided to turn around and leave.
