"Welcome to the Knight's Estate of Adam. Four white-robed maids bowed to Solomon in a welcoming gesture.

Solomon smiled and waved his hand and walked into the manor with ceremonial steps.

This is the address given to him by Stephanie, and it is also the estate in the domain of her grandfather Pierce Adam and her uncle Smith Adam, and it is common to call the old one Adam and the uncle of Tiffany Little Adam, both of whom are official knights of the kingdom.

Before coming to this manor, Solomon passed through their territory, which was not large, because both Old Adam and Little Adam had only barely entered the aristocratic sequence.

But knights are only the lowest order of nobles, fortunately they still have territories, and those with territories and those without territories are two completely different concepts, and the former has a stable source of income.

What caught Solomon's attention was the fields within the domain of Adam's house.

It's not the Adam family, it's generally qualified to be called a family, at least after more than three generations of non-decay, and the Adam's family has had a family business since the old Adam, and he himself hasn't died, and it is not known whether he will be defeated at the hands of his son Smith in the future, and it is far from enough in terms of family voice, and people mention that even if they have respect, it is only for them, and they will not be regarded as the Adam family.

The fields in Adam's domain were quite good, and this was especially rare in the vicinity of St. Quentin.

You must know that although according to the feudal system, the territory of the great lord will be divided downward, but it is certainly not easy to get a territory near St. Quentin, either a royal party or a family with a very good background, and the fields of the Adam family are still of a very good category, which has to make Solomon feel a little surprised.

However, he was just a guest, so he could only suppress this curiosity for the time being.

－－－－

When Solomon entered the manor, in one of the buildings inside the manor, the gray-headed old knight was meeting another guest.

"Anyway, that's it, I hope you can understand, old gentleman. ”

The old knight snorted from his nose and stood up with his hands pressed on the wide desk, "I don't need you to teach this, I will think about it, I won't let her be like her mother." ”

"That's the best, then I can go back and die. The visitor casually picked up a large hat placed on the table and put it on his head, the tongue of the hat was unusually protruding, so that the appearance of the visitor was shrouded in a shadow.

He took two steps, and suddenly said, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot, if the old gentleman doesn't mind, I want to see Miss Tiffany with my own eyes." ”

"There's no need for that, since the one hasn't wanted to see her for so many years. Old Adam refused.

The guest's mouth under the brim of the hat moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, and suddenly his face changed slightly: "Someone is coming, forget it, I'll leave first." ”

The figure of the guest moved, went directly to the window, and then disappeared, and the degree was amazingly fast.

There was a knock at the door, and old Adam sat back in his seat, "Come in." ”

A chubby but shrewd face came in, and he looked into the room suspiciously, as if looking for something.

"Father, who were you talking to?"

"No, it's me who is old, and I'm talking to myself, what's the matter, Smith?" said old Adam, rejecting his son's judgment.

"Ahem, it's a guest, have you forgotten it, today is Tiffany's birthday, you plan to hold a family dinner, and you have specially allowed her to invite a few friends. ”

Old Adam's son, Smith gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but complain, "And you forbade me to invite guests." ”

"Oh, yes, even today, alas, it was all interrupted by the self-talk just now, just now. Old Adam stood up, "It's Tiffany's birthday, so there's no need to invite some friends. ”

"It's never a bad thing to let Tiffany know more people. ”

"Enough, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Old Adam, who was about to reach the door, suddenly turned his head and stared at his son with bright eyes, "I'm not dead yet, I promised her mother that she could marry whoever she wants to marry." ”

The expression on Smith's face froze for a moment, "Of course, of course, I think so, too. ”

－－－－－

Solomon sat downstairs in the hall and waited, this attic was supposed to be the main building of the manor, the ground floor was the living room, the second floor was the banquet hall, and the third floor above was the master's dwelling.

"Solomon, you are really here. "Down the spiral staircase came two women, one dressed as a noblewoman and the other as Tiffany.

However, today's Riffinie is not dressed the same as when she was at the Academy of Magic, and instead of wearing the unsightly mage robes, she wears the costumes of the noble maidens in the city, which makes her look unusually bright and moving.

"Yes, congratulations, Tiffany, and happy birthday. Solomon presented a gift box containing a piece of jewelry that he had carefully selected as a gift for his visit.

"Tiffany, is this your special guest today?" the woman looked at Solomon, scrutinizing it.

"Yes, he's a friend I met at the Academy of Magic. ”

After being introduced, Solomon learned that the woman was Jacqueline, Tifanie's aunt.

After chatting for a while, a voice came from upstairs: "Tiffany, my baby, happy birthday, is this your friend?"

The gray-headed old knight and his chubby son also came down the stairs, and Solomon saluted them and introduced himself.

The old knight patted Solomon on the shoulder, looking very happy, while Smith on the side made Solomon feel slightly unhappy, his gaze was a little strange, and he seemed to look at himself with a slight hostility.

Solomon followed his master to the banquet hall on the second floor, where a long dining table was arranged.

After taking their seats, the servants began to serve water for the guests to rinse their mouths and then went downstairs to begin preparing the first course.

Taking advantage of the gap between the dishes, Solomon was a little surprised and said, "Am I the only one who has been invited today?"

Tiffany looked at Solomon a little uneasily, then at her grandfather, and whispered, "Yes, I can invite my friends, but I don't have many friends, and it's good that you didn't turn me down." ”

"It's a good friend of a male friend. The old knight said with a smile, his gaze suddenly causing Solomon to feel a wave of pressure.

"I've said I've asked me to invite some guests too, Tiffany is not young, she needs to know more people who are worth getting to know than to go to the magic academy, especially boys. Smith wiped his hands with a towel and muttered.

The old knight's gaze turned sharply and swept over Smith, and he immediately stopped talking.

The servants began to go upstairs into the banquet hall and served appetizers to the host and guests.

The nobles usually did not have such trouble eating, unless it was a big nobleman who liked luxury, and usually asked the servants to prepare their favorite food and put it on the table together.

But similar to today's occasion, although the meal is only a guest of the host's family and Solomon, it is according to the standard of the aristocratic banquet in the morning, and even the meal is served in a certain order.

However, Solomon's mind was not on food at all, and he guessed the purpose of today's feast.

It seems that Tiffany has a crush on herself, so she specially invites herself.

Solomon didn't hate Tiffany, on the contrary, he felt relaxed about being with her.

But a banquet like this one was undoubtedly a big turn, for the old knight who had been looking at him had a kind gaze that was a little frightening.

"Mr. Solomon, what do you do, just to study at the Academy of Magic?" Smith asked.

"Oh, I used to serve the lord of Free City, have you heard? I still serve him, taking care of his bank in St. Quentin and taking care of his daughter's liaison in St. Quentin, but I have my own business. Solomon buried his head and said vaguely.

"Free City, oh, is that Franklin, who was recently made an earl to the kingdom?" Smith's tone changed slightly, his posture a little eager when he asked before, and now he spoke as if relieved.

"Father, that place in Liberty City is remote. Smith said to the old knight.

The old knight nodded noncommittally, and Smith smiled again: "It's not bad that you can become a mage at your age, in fact, I know a lot of very good young people......"

"Uncle, Solomon was a kingdom mage. Tiffany said.

"Kingdom Mage?" both Smith and his wife, Jacqueline, couldn't help but stop their utensils and looked at Solomon in a little surprise.

The Kingdom Mage is not a symbol of the strength of the mage, but a status that represents being a member of the noble sequence, theoretically the same as Smith.

"Disrespectful, so where is your territory?" asked Smith cautiously.

"I don't have a territory yet. Solomon shook his head.

"Solomon is one of the four newest pioneers approved by the royal family. Tiffany couldn't help but say again.

Smith couldn't help but gasp, if what Tiffany said was true, it would be different.

Although there is no official territory, Smith knows about the coordinates of the kingdom's auction this time, and has envied it for a long time.

However, he knew that he was not qualified to participate in this competition, and he still barely had the financial resources to compete for entry, but even if he got the qualifications, the development was real, and it was definitely not something he could afford, whether it was financial or manpower.

Even now that his father, Knight Adam, has passed away, leaving him all his possessions to him, he can't support the development of an alien plane.

Solomon suddenly had a strange feeling, but Tiffany had helped him with this, so there was no need for him to keep a low profile.

"Yes, I am very honored to have His Majesty's permission to explore the Black Rock Plane. ”

"That's a lot of promise. Smith laughed, and his gaze at Solomon changed again, now neither eagerness nor lightheartedness, but curiosity and eagerness.

"Yes, when I was as young as you, although I also began to follow the first emperor to participate in the holy war in the different planes, but I didn't face a plane alone like this, young man, are you shun lì there?"

"There were some minor troubles, mainly due to manpower problems, so I came back this time to find someone to help. ”

The main course came up, and Solomon cut off a piece of the meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hearing this, Smith suddenly blinked.

But soon his face changed slightly, because during Solomon's conversation with his father, he heard what happened to Solomon, and knew that he really needed to go to war in the Black Rock Plane.

So he immediately dismissed his original thoughts, but when he heard Solomon say that he would come back to Derek, Smith couldn't help but say, "Is it Mr. Derek from the commodity exchange in the city?"

After receiving Solomon's affirmation, Smith immediately began to talk more, and Solomon soon understood that Mr. Smith was trying to use him to get to know Derek's merchants.

"Of course, I can introduce Mr. Smith if I have the chance. ”

"That would be great. Smith raised his glass happily, he knew Derek's businessmen for the simple purpose of making some extra money.

Because old Adam is not dead, the income of the manor and the territory is theoretically not completely at his disposal, it belongs to the old knight, and the income and expenditure will be taken care of.

By acknowledging merchants like Derek, Smith can earn money for things like guarding merchants' goods, which is much less dangerous than participating in Solomon-led plane exploration.
