A steaming broth, a small pot of fresh fruits and vegetables, three buttered breads, and other dessert meals were served at once. Lance ate wildly in front of everyone.

After all, he's been hungry for a day.

"Chef Hogg is a good man. As he ate, Lance thought to himself. Everyone who can survive in the Viscount's Castle is not a simple commodity, at least the ability to read words and colors has reached a fairly high level. For example, the head chef Hogg, this guy is in charge of the meals of the Viscount and his children in the castle, and it is not easy for Lance to eat these things after the meal. But tonight, Hogg insisted on arranging the kitchen to serve Lance such a sumptuous dinner in three minutes.

That's why he was able to work as head chef at the Viscount Castle for nine years.

Lance didn't mind the flattery of these subordinates, after all, he was very happy to eat as much as he could. The viscount on the side took the animal skin, and still asked in disbelief: "Amman, is this true?"

Once again, the Wizard of Amman replied with the utmost affirmation, "There is no doubt that this is the standard rune of the secondary meditation technique...... I can't even find a little fault about it, Master Lance's drawing is too standard. I couldn't even believe that he could draw such a rune in three minutes, which many second-level wizards couldn't do. All I can say is that if this qualification can be maintained, he will be a magic genius!"

The viscount and everyone looked at each other, they were all ordinary people, and they couldn't see the outline of the runes clearly. Because of the Amman wizards, everyone was careful not to deliberately decipher the runes on the skins, otherwise the power of the spell would hurt them as ordinary people as idiots.

Viscountess Nancy obviously couldn't accept this, she looked suspiciously at Lance, who was eating and drinking, and then at Amman, who was also shocked but delighted, and decided that there must be something wrong with this.

"Could it be that Amman took some advantage from Lance and deliberately helped him fake?" After thinking for a long time, Nancy only had one reason in her mind that could explain the current situation. If it weren't for Amman's secret manipulation, how could Lance have gone from a useless waste to a spell genius?!

She blushed and tried to speak several times, but when she saw the Viscount's overjoyed look, she forced herself to swallow the words that had reached her throat. The Viscount has a lot of trust in Amman, and coupled with his favor for Lance, if he opens his mouth rashly, he will anger the Viscount.

"Now is not the time, just let this kid be proud for a while. Nancy thought to herself, and she pressed the unconvinced Becky on her face and smirked, "Then congratulations, Lance." I didn't expect you to learn a lot in the past six months. ”

He was so hungry that he swallowed a mouthful of bread and drank a sip of hot soup again. Then he looked at the viscountess blankly, and said inarticulately, "Madame, what did you just say, sorry, I'm so hungry......"

Nancy was almost trembling out of breath, and this time she didn't even bother to force a smile, she just snorted and turned her face away.

Lance looked at the crowd, nodded and smiled at a happy Erin, and continued to deal with the food on the table.

......

The hall was silent, and there was no sound except for the sound of Lance gobbling up.

Everyone looked at each other, the Wizard of Amman and the Viscount were all smiling, and Viscount Lane, who was in a hurry to hold a meeting just now, seemed to suddenly relax at this moment, just sitting there and waiting. Lord Viscount was waiting, and the rest of the people didn't dare to say a word.

It took a long time for Lance to fill his stomach and give him a big burp.

The Viscount, who was usually extremely deceitful, rarely tolerated Lance's vulgarity, but smiled and said, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Lance shook his head, "Thank you, Father, but I'm done." ”

The Viscount let out a long breath, and his eyes became extremely complicated. He handed the hide in his hand to Amman and muttered, "Since you are able to write this rune, it means that you can enter the next step of wizard learning. Church matters, forget it. ”

"Every day for the rest of the day, you learn from Amman. Regarding the cost of study...... "The viscount frowned, learning magic is very expensive, and the cost of Lance following Amman for half a year is still a lot of money for him who owns a large territory on the west coast.

Seeing that the signs were wrong, the eldest lady suddenly interjected: "My dear, although Lance's previous monthly expenses were quite large, in order to learn magic, the investment should still be there. I propose to maintain the previous level. ”

This sentence seems to be for Lance's maintenance, but in fact, he is afraid that the Viscount will be happy and increase his investment in Lance. Lance's ability to write secondary meditation runes proves that he is not far from a wizard, and in this case, it is a blessing that the Viscount does not increase his investment in Lance, and the Grand Lady does not expect the Viscount to cut this cost.

Viscount Lane glanced at the eldest lady and nodded: "Okay, for the time being, it will remain the same, it is still three hundred gold coins per month." ”

Erin and Sabina looked at Lance with envy on their faces, they only had ten gold coins a month in pocket money, Lance was thirty times as much as them, and Becky looked at Lance with a lot of jealousy and resentment in her eyes, she could not tolerate such unfair treatment.

Nancy let out a sigh of relief, her heart was very unhappy, but her face was about to make a look of joy for Lance.

"Thank you, my father. "Lance wasn't too excited, learning spells is indeed very money-consuming, he definitely can't do it alone, only with the support of the entire territory can there be a glimmer of possibility.

Amman nodded with some relief: "In terms of learning fees, old man, don't worry, in addition to the money you pay, I will also provide Lance with certain spell materials." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the Viscount even showed a surprised smile.

If Lance only followed Amman to learn spells before, then Amman's words completely established Lance's status in the viscounty's territory. He will be a disciple of the Amman shaman, a student and a disciple, and the relationship between the two is itself two kinds. The latter is clearly more intimate.

Lance said gratefully, "Teacher Xie Lu!"

Amman shook his head and smiled, "You deserve it." ”

......

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the castle suddenly became lively, and the news that the second young master Lance had passed the first threshold to become a wizard spread at an astonishing speed, from the patrol members in the castle to the gardeners of the groom garden in the stables, each talking about the amazing news.

In the hall, Viscount Lane finished his test of Lance and motioned for the patrol leader and others to go to his study, and the rest of the people could leave on their own.

Lance just wanted to leave, but Viscount Lu Dao suddenly shouted: "Wait, Lance, you also come to the study, even if you don't understand this, it's good to listen to it." ”

Lance had no choice but to obey his fate. The Viscountess's face became even more ugly.

Lance said goodbye to his sisters, and then walked into the Viscount's study with the strange faces and Amman. Leaving the restaurant, the atmosphere immediately became serious.

"Which one will start with this month?" said the viscount, clearing his throat and sitting behind his desk.

"Lord Viscount, let me start first!" A middle-aged man walked out, he smiled at Lance, and handed the account book in his hand to Viscount Lane: "This is the tax situation of the five major territories this month, please take a look." ”

Lance searched hard for his memory, and after searching for a long time, he found that the middle-aged man in front of him was the tax collector in the territory, the cousin of the second lady, named Terry.

The regular meeting held in the Viscount's study was held once a month, and the figures in charge of all aspects of the territory reported to the Viscount.

The viscount asked Lance to listen as well, with the intention of cultivating his qualities in all aspects, so he listened attentively, and at the same time let the main chip fox turn on the recording mode.

"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and a bad pen is not as good as a gene chip......"
