Chapter 42: An Unexpected Gain
Coming down from the fourth floor of the castle, there was no class in the afternoon anyway, so Leo planned to return to his hut and solidify the illusion department level 0 magic, illusion magic, which he had learned not long ago.
He has now reached 1.19 spirit points, and has successfully solidified the 3 most commonly used spell models in his soul, which are the mage's hand of the change system in the guide, the crusty technique of the protection system, and the spell blueprint sent by Montoya, and the Shock of the Plastic Energy system. If the illusion is also solidified, it will be 4 complete spell models, which have reached the minimum standard for promotion, so he has the confidence to accept Leo's agreement.
As soon as he came to the door of his cabin, Leo heard footsteps coming from downstairs before he could open the door, and soon a person appeared at the end of the corridor, it was Montoya.
"Oh, where did you go, I've been looking for you for a long time. Montoya was sweating profusely, but her face was full of joy.
Leo said strangely: "Young Master, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Montoya gasped and said, "My father wants to see you." ”
"Mistress Philip wants to see me?" Leo was even more confused, he had just met Leo, and now even the second man in the castle, Montoya's father, Philip, had seen him, and he was really in a hurry today.
"yes, come with me. Montoya couldn't help but say anything, and dragged Leo, who was full of doubts, into the real room.
In the room, John was wiping the floor. A tall middle-aged man stood in front of the bookshelf, picking out a book from time to time, but without turning a few pages, he put it back again, obviously those contents were really not suitable for him to read.
The man was about forty years old, with fiery red hair, a pair of thick eyebrows, and a very rugged appearance, and it seemed that he thought of that brave man, it was his father Philip, a level 5 bloodline warrior.
"Father, Leo I brought it. Montoya said happily.
Leo hurriedly followed and saluted, "Hello, Lord Philip, do you want to see me?"
The man turned his head and grinned, "Ah, you are Leo, sure enough, it looks like a material that can be learned, not bad, not bad." ”
"Your Excellency, you've won the prize. Leo was humble, but in his heart he guessed the other party's intentions.
Philip didn't let him guess much, and said directly: "I heard Montoya say that you have helped him a lot in his studies, and I, as a father, naturally want to express my gratitude." ”
"That's why. Leo muttered to himself, humbly: "It's nothing, this is what I should do, don't take it to heart." ”
"That's not what you're supposed to do, hahaha, who would have thought that a servant boy would be able to educate my son. Philip laughed out loud without any scruples, and then said to Montoya, "What are you still doing in a daze, and you don't give things to others?" ”
"Oh-oh!" Montoya came to her senses, took out a piece of paper and a ring from her bosom, and handed it to Leo, "This is my father's thank you gift." ”
"How can this work...... Leo hesitated, refusing. A low-class servant actually accepted a thank you gift from the second person in the castle, and if it was passed out, it would not be very good, and maybe it would cause trouble.
Philip suddenly made an unhappy look and shouted, "Boy, if you don't accept it, you will look down on me!"
Leo had no choice but to take two things, and immediately found that the paper turned out to be his deed of sale, and although the ring was simple in shape, the brilliance shining on it could be seen that it was not just an ordinary ring.
"My father is in charge, and from today onwards, Leo, you are no longer a servant. That ring, the trophy that my father had gotten before, was able to store a cubic meter of stuff in it, which was very practical, but I didn't even have it. Montoya said with some envy.
"Space Ring!" Leo looked closely at the ring in his hand and closed his mouth in surprise, "I can't ask for such a valuable thing." ”
"It's nothing valuable, I can't use it anyway, and it's not a money to buy it, hahaha. Boy, take it. Otherwise, I, as a father, don't look good on my face. Hmm, this thing seems to require a special method to open, you can ask Master Byron. Philip was quite cheerful, and seeing that Leo still didn't understand, he explained: "I am a rough man, although I have some strength, but I still dream of making Montoya a noble mage. However, Master Byron has always said that although he has good mental strength, he really has no talent for learning, so I am really grateful that you can help him improve. ”
Leo really didn't know how important the mage was to the Joseph family.
Any family that can survive for a long time, even if it does not have a bloodline, must have a magical tradition. Mages can fight without relying on the Bloodline, but the Bloodline is inseparable from the Mage in all aspects.
The head of this generation, Earl Clemond, is quite ambitious, and he also has the corresponding strength. As the earl's younger brother, Philip knew his brother's wishes, and at the same time wanted to help the family expand and become stronger.
And in order to achieve this, it is necessary to strengthen the magical power of the family. Although Master Byron has good strength and profound magical skills, he is too old after all, and he may come to the end of his life at some point. Therefore, after focusing on training, becoming a mage is one of the most important goals of the two brothers.
Although Leo doesn't know this, he can see that Montoya's personality is definitely influenced by Philip, cheerful, enthusiastic, and without any arrogance. He also had a good impression of a middle-aged man, and when he saw that the other party was so sincere, he nodded and said, "Then, thank you, Lord Philip." ”
"Leo, you are no longer a servant, there is no need to call me sir, just call me uncle. Philip said with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Philip. Leo also responded with a smile, and then hesitated: "Then I am not a servant now, and I still stay in the castle......"
Philip waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, I've decided to hire you as Montoya's personal tutor, what do you think?"
Leo was startled and hurriedly said, "Teacher...... That's not good. ”
Philip also noticed that the title of teacher was indeed inappropriate, and frowned and said: "It doesn't seem to be very good, let Master Byron hear it, and think I have an opinion of him, well, it's really not good." ”
"Oh, anyway, you are the teacher's student, who dares to say that you should leave the castle, I am the first to disagree!" Montoya said anxiously, he was most afraid that Leo would leave.
Philip looked at his son in surprise, and secretly said that this kid was really enlightened, so he also nodded and said: "Montoya is right, you are staying here and enjoying the treatment you deserve, I see who dares to have an opinion!"
Leo smiled, "Thank you so much." ”
"You deserve it. Philip walked up a few steps, patted Leo on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Master Byron will be very busy recently, so Montoya's studies, I have to ask you." ”
Leo nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to help Montoya become a mage and get a letter of recommendation from my teacher." ”
"Letters of recommendation...... This one...... Leo, don't you want it?" asked Montoya, a little anxious.
