Not far from the Maple Leaf Town, Naka Manor, although it is night, is also brightly lit, like a festival. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wรจn Aishang Novel Network)
Naka Manor is not so much a manor as a castle, such a strong city wall, thanks to the continuous reinforcement of the owners of the manor over the generations, looks like a fortress, even if the bandits come, they are afraid that they cannot be taken lightly. [Search for the latest updates.]
The Naka Manor itself also has a lot of guards, which is one of the reasons why the Naka Manor is famous for its popularity, and no one dares to mess with it.
"Young Master, are you back?" Seeing Young Master Kitley, the chief butler of Naka Manor greeted him and saluted him.
Kitley nodded, "What about my father?"
"Young master, the master is waiting for you in the study......," said the chief butler.
Through the somewhat eerie hallway, Kitley went to his father's study, knocked on the door, and called, "Father......"
"Come in......" replied with few words, but to Kitley there was an irresistible majesty.
On the table in the study sat a burly man, holding a sword in one hand and a rag in the other, gently wiping back and forth, his expression was extremely serious, and his gaze was full of tenderness, just like looking at his own wife.
He was the lord of the Naka Manor, Gerat, and when he saw his son come in, he said without looking back, "Sit down......
Kitley sat down nervously, growing up fearing his father the most.
"Your cousin and that young master McKinsh have already slept, haven't they?" asked Geralt.
"Yes, father......" replied Kitley.
Geralt turned around, glanced at his son, put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and placed the rag on the table, "For the arrival of your cousin Jordin and that young master McKinsh, you have to be kind to the hospitality, and you must not neglect the ......"
When he said this, Geralt's face had changed to a humble expression, for Geralt, the arrival of Jordin and McKinsh made Naka Manor flourish, to say that a nobleman like Jordin usually wanted to invite but could not come, they could come to give face to his family.
"Yes, Father. Kitley replied honestly.
"They're still having fun here today, aren't they?" Geralt smiled and asked, "You've been out of the manor for a day, where have you gone?"
"We ...... Went to Maple Leaf Town......" Kitley panicked, not knowing whether he should tell the story of this afternoon.
"Well, Maple Town, yes, autumn is coming, and the maple leaves there are beautiful, huh...... As long as they're having fun......" Geralt didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, and asked with a smile, "How are you getting along with them?"
"It's okay, Cousin Jordyn treats me well...... Kitley said.
"That's good......" Geralt nodded in satisfaction, and being able to get involved with Jordin showed that Kitley was doing a good job.
"You're peers and deserve all sorts of things in common......"
Seeing his father's expression as usual, Kitley's tightly hung heart relaxed, he knew that his father was quite satisfied with his watch, and couldn't help but think of asking for merit and reward, and said with a smile, "Father, I will be fifteen years old this month, you see ......"
Knowing his son, Kitley hadn't finished speaking, Geralt had already understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "What do you want?"
"Is there a play?" Kitley's eyebrows jumped, and he was happy in his heart, his father was not so good at talking.
He took a step closer and said boldly, "Father, I want a sword. He paused, "Hmm...... A sword like Cousin Jordyn's will do. โ
Geralt didn't feel anything when he heard the first half of Kitley's sentence, but when he heard the second half, he was so frightened that he almost slipped.
"What? You want a sword like Cousin Jordyn?"
"Yes. "Kitley hadn't realized that there was something wrong with his condition, and in his opinion, a sword was just a thing, and it wasn't too big.
Geralt smiled bitterly, "Dear Kitley, it's not that I don't want to buy you such a sword, but I can't afford it at all, do you know, how much is Cousin Jordyn's sword?"
"How much?" Kitley was still confused, but he knew it must be expensive.
Geralt smiled wryly and held out three fingers.
"Three hundred gold coins?" asked Kitley.
Geralt shook his head.
"Three thousand gold coins?"
Geralt still shook his head, and then said, "Your cousin Jordyn's sword is called "Cold Long Song", and the low-level dark gold level equipment costs more than 30,000 gold coins......"
"Thirty thousand?" Kitley was taken aback by the number, "This sword alone is worth thirty thousand?"
Geralt nodded sternly, "Thirty thousand is the basic number, that refers to the lowest level of attributes, if it is a high-grade attribute, the value of the light essence core is 150,000, and the price of dark gold level equipment must be doubled, the value is at least more than 300,000, and it is estimated that it can be even higher if it is auctioned." โ
"What is the Dark Gold Level?" "Kitley still didn't understand.
"Don't you know?" Geralt frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Kitley, I usually ask you to read more books and you don't listen, but now you don't understand anything, hmph, you can't learn anything......"
After teaching Kitley, Geralt still gave him an answer, "The level of the weapons we usually use can be improved, like the swords we usually use, they have not been upgraded, they are ordinary weapons, and the process of upgrading to the school level is called an enchanted ......."
"The enchanted sword, with magical attributes, is more convenient and powerful to use, and its attack power is also increased......"
"The enchantment of the weapon requires the use of the essence core, after the upgrade is successful, the first level is azure, the second level is sea blue, the third level is gold, the fourth level is dark gold, and your cousin's sword is the fourth level of dark gold level......"
"And what's the matter with what rank and attributes?" Kitley still didn't understand.
"As for rank and attributes, your cousin is now an intermediate-level swordsman, he can only use lower-level weapons, and the highest level of lower-level weapons is dark gold, as for the attributes...... I don't know, if it's a high-level attribute, it's already the best among low-level weapons...... So the price of 300,000 is not too high. โ
Kitley thought for a moment and asked, "Why is there so much difference in the price of weapons with superior and inferior attributes......"
Geralt smiled, "It's about the price of the refinement core, if you think about it, the price of a fourth-level refinement core is 1000 gold coins, the price of a fifth-level refinement core is 2000 gold coins, and the price of a sixth-level refinement core is 5000 gold coins, just the price of a sixth-level refinement core, our family can't afford to pay it......"
He paused and continued, "And...... The enchantment of weapons is not smooth sailing, the probability of failure is very high, failure once, the essence core is gone, this is equivalent to gambling, the higher the weapon level, the higher the probability of failure, many people enchant their weapons, and finally get bankrupt people also have ......"
"And a lower-level white-level weapon is upgraded to the dark gold level, and it usually needs 30 essence cores, and the light essence core will cost 150,000, and if it is made into a dark gold level, the price will be doubled, that is, 300,000 ......."
Kitley stuck out his tongue, "300,000 swords, this price is too exaggerated...... he knew that his manor only earned a few thousand gold coins a year, and this 300,000 sword was simply an unrealistic fantasy.
"If only you knew...... It's not that I, the father, won't buy it for you, I can......'t afford it at all," Geralt smiled, "The Salt family can't compare with us, and their family is also a big family in the Holy Roman Empire, if it weren't for your aunt marrying the patriarch, how could our Naka Manor have the glory it has today......"
Kitley nodded, he knew that his family was just a country man, and his cousin and his friend McKinsh were real aristocrats, and his own family was not worthy of carrying shoes.
Jordin is the son of his aunt, if he didn't have this level of kinship, how could he come to a place like Naka Manor as Young Master Jordyn.
"Jordin may become the heir to the Salter family, you get along with him well, and there will be ......your benefits in the future," laughed.
"Yes, father...... "Kitley nodded, "I will." โ
"I'll give you this sword......" Geralt thought for a moment and handed the long sword he had just wiped to Kitley, "This sword belongs to the lower-level azure-level longsword, with inferior attributes, and the price is worth at least five or six thousand gold coins, so I'll give it to you......"
Givley was overjoyed, reached out and took it, thanked him, took the sword, and left his father's study. With this sword, he can also show off in front of his cousin and his friends tomorrow, although this behavior seems very ridiculous, but Master Kitley also wants to save face.
Geralt's study was calm again, and after a while, the knock on the door sounded again.
"Come in ......"
It was the great butler of the Naka Manor who came in.
"Master, do you have something to do with me?"
Geralt's eyes narrowed into a line and asked the butler, "What happened to Kitley when he went to Maple Town today?"
Kitley's panicked expression still didn't hide from him, and Geralt knew his son best from childhood to adulthood.
Sure enough, the chief butler bowed deeply and said, "Yes, master, something did happen to the young master in Maple Town today." โ
Then he told everything about this afternoon, and the chief butler also wondered in his heart, this is a trivial matter for Naka Manor, just let him handle it, and he also believes that he can handle it, isn't he just a beggar, I didn't expect the master to ask in person.
"Oh, it turned out that I accidentally killed an old beggar......" Geralt listened disappreciatively, "a pariah, kill it, kill it, it's not a big deal......"
If it is a townsman, it is estimated that there will be some trouble, for the benefit of the townspeople, it may be inevitable to lose some money, if it is just a penniless beggar, it will be much easier, and there is no need to lose money.
"But Kitley is so unproductive, he does evil things, but he forgets to wipe his ass. Geralt snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "Call Kitley to me......"
Kitley came to his father's study again, and when he saw the butler, he knew that it was broken, and his father must have known about today's events.
Geralt grimaced and asked, "Kitley, do you know you're wrong?"
Kitley looked flustered, "I'...... I...... It's none of my business, he bumped into it himself......"
"I didn't mean you ......" Geralt's eyes narrowed into Kitley, "why didn't you kill that little bastard?"
"Uh...... There were a lot of onlookers that day...... "It's not like Kitley hasn't thought about this, but there are so many people that day, it's not easy for him to start."
"What does it matter if there are many townspeople, it's just a little beggar......" Geralt was extremely upset with him.
"Father, since you say he's just a little beggar, is it necessary to be so serious? It feels like we're afraid of him...... Kitley said cautiously.
Geralt frowned, took a breath, and asked, "Kitley, do you know about mountain ants?"
"Mountain ants?" Kentley had a question mark in his head, he didn't know what his father was referring to?
"That's right, it's that kind of mountain ant, big ......" Geralt showed a meaningful smile, "Although the mountain ant is small, it hurts to be bitten by it, isn't it?"
......
Late at night, after basically everyone in the Naka Manor was almost asleep, the gate slowly opened, and several fast horses rushed out of the manor and ran straight in the direction of Maple Town.
The lights were still on in Gerat's study at Naka Manor, and Geralt stood in front of the window, watching the fast horses in the distance, with a cruel smile in his eyes.
"This kid's tail, you have to let me, a father, clean it up......"
