Section 20 Helen the Witch
Lance saw the girl standing there, a look of surprise on his face.
"Bonnie?"
Although the girl stood in the dark, she could clearly see her body trembling slightly.
"Master Lance......" she said timidly. She didn't expect that two years later, Lance actually remembered her former personal maid.
The intersection between the two is actually not too deep. As a subordinate, Bonnie knew very little about Lance. It's just that thanks to the blessing of Young Master Lance, even after Lance left, she was well placed in the castle. Even later, when Prince Longbottom came to the castle and the Viscount moved to the Apple Estate, he laid off a large number of servants, and Bonnie was not among them.
The Viscount still assigned her the easiest job, while not allowing anyone to bully her.
And Bonnie understood what Viscount Ryan meant. Since she used to be Young Master Lance's personal maid, she will definitely not be someone else's woman in the future.
"Lance, you're back?"
The Viscount's gentle voice came from the study. He took the initiative to open the door, and at a glance saw Lance and said, "Come in." β
Lance nodded. No longer looking at the girl on the side, he strode into the study.
"You went to your teacher's mage tower today?" the viscount asked casually after making Lance himself a cup of tea.
Lance replied, "Yes, my teacher left me some very precious treasures before he died. β
"That's good. The viscount seemed to say to himself, "Amman is a good man, when I met him. He's still a kid, but he's already shown a lot of good things. I know he's had something special going on, if you ......."
Lance said categorically: "I will solve those encounters with the teacher." β
Viscount Lane said helplessly: "I didn't mean that...... I want you to do what you can. β
"I understand that. Lance nodded. He understood Viscount Lane's concerns.
Father and son fell silent.
After a while, the viscount said slowly:
"The horses for the supplies have been prepared, and the first people have been decided, mostly soldiers and their families, as well as some brave merchants and civilians who have always been loyal to our family. The route has also been completed by naturalization, this migration. Because it is within the kingdom. So it will be safer. We will pass through three realms along the way, and Longbottom has already greeted those three lords personally, and they will not only not embarrass us, but will give us the greatest support. β
"That's good. "Lance knows. In this regard. I can't really help much.
The migration of a territory. It's too wide-ranging, and in this regard, Griffin is more helpful to the viscount.
The only thing Lance could do. It's to escort them.
Although the time of wizards is very tight, Lance also knows that after entering the wizarding world, he has not stopped moving forward, and almost every second counts in the rhythm of life. In the long run, his nerves were also a little tired. It is better to take advantage of this escort to relax and prepare for the future journey.
As for Erin's matter, Lance also thought it through, since the night demon took her as a disciple and said that she was the heir of the Witch of the Night, then in Takaron, she should not be subjected to too much trouble. The scene I saw might be the cultivation methods of the witches, or it could be other special circumstances. What's more, Takarun is far away in the sky, and even if he is in a hurry, he can't rush here.
Only by going down step by step is the right way.
The father and son chatted for a while about the relocation of the territory, and Viscount Ryan suddenly changed his words:
"Lance, I know you're leaving after escorting us on our first migration. As a mortal, I can't help you much, and I know you're going to have a hard time, so I hope you'll leave with you this time. β
"You mean Bonnie?" said Lance, surprised.
Viscount nodded: "When you first started going out, you were just a wizard apprentice, you didn't have much mana, and you didn't know what to expect, and I also wanted you to get exercise, so I let you go alone, but this time, you are already a mature wizard." And you've grown up, you can't have no one around to take care of you, Bonnie is a very hardworking girl, and she used to take care of you. β
"In the two years you have been away, I have always arranged for her to do the lightest work, and she is still very young and energetic. She knows how to take care of men. And you do need a valet to be a valet too. β
Lance couldn't help but laugh: "But I'm used to being alone." β
"Habits can be changed slowly. The viscount said meaningfully: "Even if you are a wizard, you are still a man, and men are inferior to women in terms of life." Unless you have other suitable maids, I highly recommend taking her with you when you leave this time. β
Lance was silent, and Lan's beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind. I don't know how the goblin is developing in Kurosawa.
The Viscount saw that Lance was silent, and added: "Actually, for her, it is a blessing and a misfortune to have a master like you. β
"He's your personal maid, which means she'll be labeled Young Master Lance for the rest of her life. It is impossible for her to marry another man, and she is destined to be lonely for the rest of her life. I can let her do easier work, but her life will be very bleak. β
"Even if you don't think it's a big deal, but we are nobles, and nobles have aristocratic rules - not to mention, do you think anyone in the realm would dare to marry a wizard's former personal maid?"
The Viscount was speechless.
He thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to the viscount's suggestion.
He now has the Azure Comet, the latest version of which is a miniature magic carpet that can carry up to four people. Bonnie doesn't weigh much and doesn't interfere much with flying.
What's more, what the viscount said is right, he does need a woman around him to take care of his daily life. After all, he can't be in a state of adventure every minute, most wizards. They are all based on a stable life, and only in a few cases will they go out to adventure and look for rare resources.
As a second-level wizard, Lance has the strength to protect himself, and it is not a big deal to bring a maid by his side.
......
Three days later, the migration of the Lane family began.
Horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts formed a long procession, and some civilians even volunteered to follow Viscount Lane on foot to leave the West Coast.
After all, on the edge of the west coast, there is a risk of being attacked by the Sea Clan at any time, and the new territory of Gem Bay is not only safe. It is also said that the land is unusually fertile.
A few days ago, the viscount issued a series of decrees. With regard to the new territories, it is said that the first farmers to visit were exempt from taxes for two years, and the craftsmen were treated more favorably.
Spurred on by these temptations, more and more people joined the migratory army.
At least two-thirds of the Viscount's five realms joined the first migration. The rest are either unprepared. Either they are preparing to participate in the second migration.
In a word. In this way, the most sorrowful person in the territory is probably Longbottom, who is sitting in the castle of Lookout.
Whenever he remembered that Viscount Lane had used the wealth financed by his family to attract his lords, he vomited blood even more angrily.
But that's not the most depressing thing.
"Helen. Take off your clothes for me!"
In the study, Longbottom irritated and commanded the female officer.
When the rest of the guards heard this, they immediately withdrew from the study in amusement.
The blonde female officer took off her white shirt like a machine, revealing a large area of snow white.
Longbottom's heart beat suddenly, and he was about to pounce on it, when he knew that at this moment, a burst of laughter like a silver bell sounded in his ears:
"Longbottom, Longbottom, do you think I'm really going to listen to my daddy?
Longbottom was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw a blonde woman sitting by the window of the study, exactly like a female officer.
"Helen, you ......" Longbottom looked at the two Helens, dumbfounded.
Helen by the window grinned: "She's been your subordinate for so long, don't you notice that she doesn't look like a person at all?"
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Longbottom's heart.
Under Helen's ill-intentioned gaze, Helen's body began to undergo strange changes as she took off her white shirt - she seemed to have turned into a mollusk, and her body began to be paralyzed downward, turning into a puddle of mud.
If Lance were here, he would probably recognize it at a glance as a low-level monster common in the wizarding world, the Sludge Monster.
Helen jumped out of the window with a smile on her face, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, a pale green object flew out of the sludge monster and landed in her hand.
"A worst sludge monster, a solidified transfiguration and an onomatopoeia gem. This is the beautiful subordinate who spent two months of lonely nights with you, how is it?
Longbottom's face turned blue, and he spat out with a wowβthe thought of how many times he had fallen in love with this sludge monster made him feel like the world was spinning.
"Hehe, do you think I don't know about the deception you set up on my father, so that he will be grateful to you, and then repay the favor?"
"Ignorant mortals, you underestimate the power of witches. I can see through what is in your mind. β
Helen said disdainfully, "It's just a small punishment for you." You still have to thank me, Tong guΓ² onomatopoeia, I have helped you a lot. β
"As for now, I don't have the patience to play this game, you're even dumber than I thought it would be, and it's not fun to play tricks on a stupid person. β
"I think I've found a more fun target. β
Helen's eyes flashed with excitement, but she suddenly became a little unpleasant.
Longbottom vomited for a while, and finally stopped, but the sludge monster squirmed and rubbed against his trouser leg.
The poor prince began to vomit again.
Helen, as if she hadn't seen this scene at all, said to herself:
"It's a pity that Sister Daredevil summoned me back in a hurry, otherwise I can play in the mortal world for a while, and try that Lance by the way. β
"But it's okay, I've recorded his coordinates anyway, and even if he goes to the ends of the earth, I can find him. β
"After all, these days, it is more difficult to find a clue to a time dragon than to ascend to the sky......" (to be continued......
