"Great, please save Miss!" the excited voice of the little maid Shirley sounded in the living room. The cooks next to him, Pete and Old Henry, also became excited after listening to Xu Yue's words, although the bad news of Oward's death made everyone feel sad, but the new Xu Yue as Oward's disciple gave everyone hope.

After listening to the words of a few people, Xu Yue didn't feel surprised, before he came, he guessed that Lucini should be in trouble here, but looking at the appearance of this little maid, this trouble is probably bigger than he imagined.

"What's going on?" he asked calmly.

The little maid, Shirley, twittered what had happened. It turned out that in addition to him, Oward had previously taken in a magic apprentice named Bradley. Bradley was born as a commoner and was an orphan adopted by Oward. This short and fat guy is not very talented in magic, and he has only stayed at the level of a high-level magic apprentice after studying with Bradley for more than ten years.

While Oward was still here, Bradley was very honest and honest, and although Oward was disappointed by the poor talent of his only disciple, he still regarded Bradley as his family. Even his only daughter, Luciene, thinks that Bradley, a brother, is a reliable person.

But with Oward's last departure, things slowly changed. Originally, as a third-level mage, Ovod used to participate in the exploration of various ruins, and it was not unusual for him to leave home for a few months at a time. But before Oward finally left home, he spent a lot of money on some magical equipment and potions. Then he just said that he went out to do errands and disappeared.

In the first year, everything was fine, but with no news from Ovaud for almost two years, Lucini began to panic. His father had never left home for so long without replying. And Oward's long-term disappearance also made Bradley's true nature slowly revealed.

As the daughter of a third-level magician, Lucini also has a talent for magic, and after studying with Oward for several years, she has reached the level of a high-level magic apprentice herself. In order to make Lucini better break through to a first-level magician, Oward once left a bottle of potion that helps break through to a first-level magician, 'Magic Elixir', and instructed Lucini to take it when she reached the peak of a high-level magic apprentice to make a breakthrough.

But unexpectedly, the news was leaked by Lucini to Bradley, whom she trusted very much and almost regarded as family. And this only disciple of Oward is actually not as honest and reliable as he appears to be. While Ovward was still around. Afraid of Oward's own strength as a third-level magician, he was both well-behaved and loyal, but Oward's disappearance made him grow bolder.

Bradley's own qualifications are really poor. He had learned nearly ten more magic than Luciene, but he was stuck at the level of a high-level magic apprentice, and if there was no accident, it was basically impossible to break through to the level of a first-level magician with his own strength.

After hearing the bottle of 'Containing Potion' that Lucine was talking about. So he fought secretly and paid attention. However, at this time, Oward had only been missing for just over a year. He was not sure whether his teacher would live or die. Because he was still afraid that his teacher might come back suddenly, he secretly plotted, and finally stole the bottle of 'magic potion' that was placed in the secret room of many magic traps after getting enough information from Lucini's mouth, and broke through to the level of a first-class magician.

Afterwards, in order to cover up his act of stealing the potion, he even completely destroyed the scene, pretending that someone else had forcibly broken through and taken the potion. However, after becoming a first-level magician, his strength progressed very slowly due to lack of resources and his own talent, and because he had no money to buy first-level magic books. He drew attention to Oward's belongings.

Under the pretext of looking for the missing teacher, Bradley asked Lucini to keep taking out the little money left in the family and handing it over to him. And he used these funds to buy various resources to improve his strength. At first, he was relatively restrained, and he didn't ask for much money. But as O'Ward's disappearance became longer and longer, his originally cautious heart slowly became bolder.

Because Ovaud had already used a lot of money to buy equipment when he left home for the last time, Lucine's remaining money had been used up in just over a year, and she even sold part of her family's property for this purpose.

Bradley always pretended to be about to find Oward, and asked Luciene, who was unsuspecting of him, to keep handing him the money. Finally, when Lucini only had the most valuable property in the wealthy area of Red Leaf City left, Bradley completely let go of his worries about Oward's return.

In Bradley's opinion, Oward had been missing for nearly four years without being heard from, and he was probably already dead during an expedition to a certain ruin. By this time Lucine had sold almost all of her property, and all but a few servants in the house had gone away because she had not paid her salary.

Seeing that Lucini wanted to rush through the first-level mage, Bradley finally lied that he could get a bottle of 'concentrating potion' used to break through the first-level mage, but because he needed too much of himself, he finally deceived Lucini's trust and made her sign her name on a sales contract.

Because it is not a magical contract, the contract itself does not have magical effect. And Lucinie, because of her trust in Bradley, did not check the authenticity of the so-called 'concentrating potion'. It wasn't until she returned home that the medicine was not right that Bradley completely tore off the mask she had been disguised all along. He came to the door with a magical contract signed by Luciene, and not only threatened Lucini to marry him, but also wanted the rest of the house.

Because Lucini did not examine the potion in public when she received it, there is no evidence that the potion given by Bradley was fake. In this way, even if she sells the house, it will not be enough to pay off the arrears on the contract. Originally, she planned to go to the Mercenary Guild to take on some high-paying tasks after breaking through to a first-level magician by relying on potions, so that she could pay off the arrears, but if she asked the nearby nobles for a loan as a first-level magician, it was unlikely that she would be refused. But Bradley's deception frustrated all her plans.

When I saw Bradley's triumphant villain face. Lucini could hardly believe that this despicable creature in front of her was the brother she had once regarded as her family. Filled with grief and indignation, she angrily kicked Bradley out of the house and vowed to die not to let Bradley's treacherous plan succeed.

At the beginning, Bradley signed the contract in order to be able to reassure Luciene. The date of repayment was set at about half a year. In the past six months, Lucini tried her best to raise funds to make up the money on the contract, but under the secret obstruction of Bradley, a first-class magician, neither Oward's friends who knew her well in the past nor those nobles who often came and went were unwilling to lend her a gold coin. For those nobles and so-called friends, a third-level magician who was almost certain to be dead was obviously not as good as Bradley, a first-level magician who was close at hand.

And in the past six months, Bradley has from time to time let a group of men he has gathered come down to Luciene's guys to threaten and intimidate. In order to exert strong psychological pressure on Luciene. Finally agreed to his terms.

In the past six months, Lucie's last remaining subordinates have also left under Bradley's intimidation, and finally only the little maid Shirley, the cook Pete and the old Henry are left. And Lucini not only had to work hard to maintain this almost hollowed-out home during this time. It is even more necessary to deal with the endless difficulties and suppression on Bradley's side, and he has been physically and mentally emaciated for such a long time, so he will not be able to support it and completely faint after hearing the bad news of Oward.

After listening to the little maid Shirley's words, Xu Yue's face was so cold that she could almost scrape off a layer of frost. Although Oward didn't spend much time with him. But he can get where he is today. It can be said that most of it is due to Oward. He used to be just an ordinary person on Earth, and if he gave Oward's Boundary Gate and Magic Inheritance to anyone on Earth, as long as the other party was not stupid, he could almost get what he achieved today. So the higher his own strength and achievements improved, the more grateful he was to Oward.

Although he didn't think it at the beginning, but today, Xu Yue has regarded Ovward as his most respected teacher in his heart. Now seeing that Bradley dared to bully his teacher's daughter like this, and the other party was such a despicable brute of revenge, the anger in his heart almost burned Bradley to death several times.

looked at the anger on Xu Yue's face that was getting heavier and heavier. The little maid Shirley finally had a smile on her face, no matter what. Since the student who called himself Lord Oward would be angry at Bradley's actions, he would not be at least an ungrateful person like Bradley. Now her only worry is whether Xu Yue's own strength or power can deal with Bradley, a first-level magician. You must know that Oward's disappearance is not a long time, according to the time, it is only four years. According to this time calculation, Xu Yue has only studied magic with Ovaud for four years at most, which is for a magician who wants to be a high-level magic apprentice in four years.

"How long does it take for the contract to expire?" Xu Yue asked coldly.

Shirley was startled by his cold voice, but she quickly said, "It's just three days later." In the past six months, the young lady has tried all kinds of methods, but she has not been able to raise enough money under the obstruction of that brute. Today, they brought people to persecute Miss. ”

Xu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I know about this matter." You don't have to worry about it anymore, I'm going to get rid of that damn garbage once and for all. ”

After hearing his words, Shirley said with some hesitation: "But Bradley is already a first-class magician, and he has used the money he defrauded from the young lady to buy off many nobles, I am afraid that he will become a lord in a few days." When the time comes, if he has the status of a nobleman, it will be even more difficult for the other party. Do you want to call some friends to help?"

Xu Yue put away the anger on her face, smiled and looked at the worried little maid Xue Li and said, "Don't worry! I know what you're worried about, but a guy who is just a first-level magician, even if he is a lord, he doesn't put it in my eyes." And I'm going to do it. He can't be a nobleman. ”

Although there were still some doubts in her heart, seeing Xu Yue's confident assurance, Shirley could only choose to believe him in the end.

Xu Yue looked at the sky that was already a little dark. He said to the three people in the room, "It's getting late now, and some of the arrangements I have to make will need to be made tomorrow." I'm staying here today, Sister Lucini has my potion, and her body should recover soon, but the mental consumption is a bit strict, and I'm afraid I won't wake up in a few days. You'd better let her rest for a day and tell her not to worry when she's awake. I'll arrange everything for all. ”

The three people in the room all looked happy after listening to his words. After Shirley had set up Luciene, she cleaned out a room where the guests were resting. After a few years of selling, this home has almost reached the level of Cheng Dù. Except for the few simple pieces of furniture that were left to support the façade, there was not even a single decorative item in the house.

Seeing Shirley take out a dozen copper coins from her pocket and look like she was planning to go out to buy vegetables, Xu Yue took out more than a hundred gold coins from the storage ring with some sadness and handed them to Shirley, asking her to buy some good ingredients and come back. At the same time, some scarce items were also purchased in batches.

Maybe it's been too long to live on a tight budget. The little maid was a little overwhelmed with the big bag of gold coins. But fortunately, the family was not bad for money when Oward was there, and after staying for a while, Shirley also got used to this feeling of déjà vu.

However, compared to the gold coins in her hand, what made her happiest was that since Xu Yue could take out such money so casually, then no matter what her own strength was, she was at least a master who was not bad for money. Even if he can't confront Bradley head-on, he still has the financial strength to at least pay back the large amount of money on the contract, so that at least his own young lady doesn't have to be sold into slavery and kill herself.

Taking away a big mountain in her heart, Shirley happily ran out of the house for the first time. But she didn't see the complicated gaze from the corner looking at the money bag in her hand.

Dinner was made by the chef Pete, after the group had the sumniest dinner in years. The group went back to their lodgings and rested.

But when everyone had rested, they waited until three or four hours had passed, and it was about twelve o'clock in the evening. From one of the rooms in the house, a dark shadow opened the door lightly, looked around carefully, and quickly closed the door when there was no one around, and then quietly came to a door not far away, and gently knocked on the door twice with his fingers.

After waiting for a while, the door was gently opened, and then the dark shadow flashed into the room through the crack where the door opened, and then the door closed quickly.

"What are you doing here, aren't you afraid of being exposed by that kid?" a slightly older voice sounded in the room.

"Hmph, you should know very well why I'm here. Don't play stupid, the guy who suddenly appeared today is likely to be bad, what should we do about this matter, I think you should know very well. ”

Through the dim moonlight shining in through the window, you can see the faces of the two people who are talking, it is the loyal cook Pete and the old servant Old Henry who are in the living room during the day. The stocky figure who spoke first was none other than Pete, the cook.

After listening to the words of the cook Pete, Old Henry said with an unnatural expression on his face: "I know very well what to do, I am just a subordinate." ”

Pete, who seemed to be honest during the day, had a very hideous expression on his face at this time, and he said fiercely: "You old guy won't be scared by that guy, right? You have to think clearly, when you received the money from Lord Bradley, you told all the information about the secret room where the magic potion was placed, and promised Lord Bradley to do it here." It's too late for you to repent, do you think you'll still be forgiven by Lucina's woman and the new guy?"

Old Henry's face showed a look of regret, but he still argued: "Who said I regretted it?" It's just that as you can see, the man who claims to be a student of Master Oward is a rich man, and our previous plans are likely to fail if he is here. And that guy is a magician, and if we reveal who we are, you and I will be in danger. ”

Cook's Pete sneered and whispered, "Hmph! Lord Bradley is still an official first-class magician. According to what this guy said, he has only studied with Oward for less than four years at most, and I'm afraid he is not even a high-level magic apprentice, even if he has a few spare money, it is a dream to fight against Lord Bradley. However, since this guy has come out to stir up the situation, then we should report this news to Lord Bradley as much as possible, and Lord Bradley will naturally deal with him at that time. And we, for reporting this guy's whereabouts, can get Lord Bradley's reward. ”

Old Henry showed a hesitant look on his face after hearing his words, and he said with some hesitation: "But that guy is a magician after all, if we report it like this, it is likely that he will appear, and then your and my lives will be in danger." ”

Hearing his words, the cook Pete said with a smug look on his face: "I don't need you to remind me of this, I have already considered it." Don't forget what I'm for, tonight's dinner, I secretly added some medicine to that guy's meal that can make people sleep very deeply. Even if the other party is a magician, as long as he takes this medicine, he will sleep very hard at night. If it weren't for the fact that the other party is also a magician, if dying here would cause too much trouble and implicate me, I would have killed this guy with poison. As for the magician, I didn't even take the medicine from an ordinary cook. ”

After listening to Pete's words, old Henry's face also showed a tempting expression, and after thinking about it, he asked a little uneasy: "Are you sure your medicine works? If it doesn't work, the two of us will be finished." And although the possibility is very small, what if this guy's strength exceeds that of Master Bradley, then our two traitors will be dead. ”

Pete said impatiently: "You old guy always looks ahead, the sky is falling and there is Lord Bradley on top, it's a big deal that we won't come back after leading Lord Bradley's bounty, find a safe place to hide first." If it really happens like that, we'll sneak away. It's impossible for them to focus on us two little people. ”

After hearing this, Old Henry thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's go on a trip, and find a place to hide after getting the bounty." Anyway, the money we got before was enough to start a small business. ”

Pete listened to old Henry's words with a look of disdain on his face, but he didn't say anything more about this timid old man. After discussing for a while, the two prepared to go out and go to Bradley to inform. But just as the two of them were about to go out, they suddenly saw that the door of the room was instantly opened by a force, and then a bright light suddenly appeared in the room, illuminating everything.

"I'll just say that there is something wrong with your two guys in the daytime, it seems that I guessed it. The two of you are obviously not as happy about my presence during the day as you appear to be. You think that those changes in the expression on your face can hide from me, don't you know that the spirit of a magician is very sharp. ”

With the words, Xu Yue's figure appeared in the room. Cook Pete and Old Henry looked at his figure and their faces turned pale in an instant, Old Henry's body trembled like a mouse that met a cat, and Cook Pete suddenly turned hideous after showing a frightened look, he looked at Xu Yue with a vicious expression and said, "Boy, don't be embarrassed." Lord Bradley is not something that a magic apprentice like you can deal with, if you want to die, get out of Red Leaf City quickly. ”

For this fat cook who was honest but treacherous on the surface, Xu Yue didn't even bother to teach the other party a lesson, he shook his head and waved his hand. I saw two flames the size of a basin suddenly appear in the air, and then instantly pounced on Pete and Old Henry.

"Rao ......" Before Old Henry's fearful words for mercy could be finished, the flames instantly drowned the two of them. Then he glanced at the dark place behind him and said, "Your Excellency has finished watching the play, don't you plan to come out to meet?" (To be continued......)
