After all, Old Ham didn't survive until the day Grimm married his mother-in-law and gave birth to a baby, and then he went to the ground.It was the beginning of spring, and the bitter cold wind had begun to soften, and Old Ham and Green, who had finished their day's work, bought a small barrel of ale from the town, cut a few pounds of meat, and prepared to start the renovation of the house tomorrow, and put the matter of finding Green's mother-in-law on the agenda.Unfortunately, the next morning, Old Ham was not able to get Green up again.Old Ham left with a smile, I don't know if it was because of the good wine and meat the night before, or because all his wishes had come true in his dream, but anyway, until Green hired a few farmers to bury Old Ham, he was still smiling and as free and easy as usual.The old Ham's most cherished cigarette stick was also buried by Green.Old Ham's sudden departure left Green lost for a while, but life still went on.Green became the owner of these two huts, and an old horse and two gold coins, seventeen silver coins, which were the savings of Old Ham's life, and now they all belonged to Green, and all of Green's existing property.Of course, Green had secretly hidden the Nose Hunt and Scent Atlas witchcraft book in the place where the gold coins were kept, and read it once or twice every night without consuming too much oil.This is a peep through a crack in the door of the wizarding world.Gradually, it's summer.It was still an ordinary day, after a busy morning, Green dumped a large amount of garbage left over from the carnival of the nobles of the Viscount's Mansion last night outside the city, and then came to the Viscount's territory to take the supplies prepared for the Viscount today from these servants.Green sat in the carriage and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.Next to the carriage was a country girl named Mary, who was able to carry goods with her hands and feet, and could do more than the average boy.Mary wore a sackcloth apron, with a lot of freckles on her face, blonde hair, and her heart pounding, and from time to time she peeked at Grimm, who was sitting comfortably in the carriage.Looking at this handsome man, Mary liked it so much, smelling his peculiar smell, like the fragrance of alan grass.Green ignored Mary.A year ago, by chance, Green knew that this girl liked him, and it was Old Ham who secretly told Green, and even Old Ham's plan was to let Green marry this girl as a mother-in-law.But I didn't say it, but I had to admit in my heart that I really didn't have any feelings for this diligent and shy girl, at most she was just the little sister next door.So after Old Ham left, Green never took the initiative to contact this girl, but only saw it once a day when he was loading goods.Seeing that Green did not speak, the girl secretly observed Green while working, and saw that the goods were gradually about to be moved to the carriage, and according to the usual practice, Green would drive the carriage away, and the girl finally bit her lip and couldn't help but speak."
Green, in the morning, a wizard passed by and asked how to get to Bissel City, and everyone here was amazed, for this is the first time I have seen a legendary wizard."
The girl pretended to be full of surprise and secretly observed Green.Green, who was bored in the carriage, heard the word wizard, and suddenly came to his senses, and said incredulously: "Wizard, are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, many people here have seen it." ”Mary saw Green's conversation and replied joyfully.Green was a little excited, "What does a wizard look like?"
Green asked, who had never seen a wizard before."
Well, the wizard was dressed in a wide gray robe, with a high hat on his head, his face was illegible, as if it were fogged, and he held a frog with red eyes in his hand.By the way, he was talking to Ima, who was at the head of the village. ”Seeing Green's excited face, Mary told Green everything she could know."
Thanks, that's great" Green was thrilled, this was the first time Green had gotten a clue about a real wizard since he got the witchcraft book half a year ago.Ran quickly to the house of Ima at the head of the village.Ima was a young woman of twenty-three or four, but already bloated and fat, wearing a white apron around her bucket-like waist, and she was already a mother of two children.The man was a hunter named Sogara, with a strong body and a very bold personality, with a scar on the left side of his face that had been cut by the fangs of a porcupine.Sogara was very surprised when she saw Green coming: "Yo, Green is here, haha, is it attracted by the fragrance here, this is the game caught in the eastern mountains yesterday" In the kitchen, Irma walked out, and two children looked at Green curiously.Half an hour later.Green excitedly left Emma's house, muttering excitedly: "Bissel City, really went to Bissel City" In a hurry, Green drove the carriage to the city, and the old horse trotted all the way for fear that it would die in advance, and followed Old Ham into the ground.At the gate of the Viscount's Mansion, behind the arrogant old butler stood four tall knights, blocking the door.The old butler's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at the dozen or so farmers gathered at the gate of the Viscount's Mansion and roared: "Your land was given by the Viscount, and the Viscount can tax as much as he wants, do you want to rebel and tell you" Green waited anxiously in the distance.Basically, at this time of year, there will be a large number of farmers blocking the door of the Viscount's Mansion to make trouble, and then after being cleaned up by these tall horse knights, the farmers will disperse, but the process is long and short."
Untouchables dare to talk back," the old butler roared: "I'll drive you away" The four tall knights only took a moment to drive away all the dozen peasants with a punch and kick.The old butler was very angry, blowing his beard and glaring.Green didn't dare to delay, and drove the carriage into the Viscount's Mansion in a low-key manner, the old butler roared: "Stop" glanced at Green, and turned over the goods on Green's carriage at will, the old housekeeper scolded: "Why is it so slow, do you want to do it" Green grinned, and his heart was already holding his stomach.This old guy has already collected two silver coins this month, and the Viscount Mansion can only get four silver coins a month, although the salary is high, but he can't help this old guy to squeeze it like this."
Master steward, the little ones arrived before, but those farmers didn't go in because they were in the way."
Green is young and vigorous, but not old Ham, not so good-tempered.Suddenly, the old butler seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, his hair was about to stand on end, and the old man's face was flushed and he pointed at Green's nose and roared."
Bastard, you pariah, dare to talk back, it seems that the viscount has raised you in vain, so you won't use it tomorrow, get out of me" After speaking, the old butler entered the courtyard in a huff and shouted to the knight beside him: "Tomorrow this pariah will come again, and break his leg for me, otherwise you won't use it." ”Green stood beside the carriage, mad with rage, and cursed in his heart that the old fellow would go to see Old Ham to-morrow.Suddenly, Green thought of something, and after a snort, parked the carriage under a large tree not far away, and ran to a blacksmith shop in the small town."
Hey, Sixth Brother."
Green beckoned to an apprentice blacksmith.When Green was still begging in Bissel City, there were always nine beggars begging together, and Green was ranked eighth.After that, Green was taken away by Old Ham, the sixth entered the blacksmith shop as an apprentice, and the second child is said to have gone to the countryside to work as a servant, and as for the others, there was no news."
Old eight" The blacksmith saw Green, his eyes lit up, he strode over, and patted Green: "How can you have time to come to me" The height of one meter eight is full of sweat and sourness, full of manly breath, and now the sixth is much stronger than Green, with a beard, his cheeks are red because of the perennial smoke by the stove, and his rough hand pats on Green's body and hurts."
Sixth brother, I have a problem with you, I heard that there is a wizard in the city" Green asked in a low voice, and the sixth man's face changed."
How do you know that there is indeed a wizard, it is said that he is here to collect students with wizard qualifications, but to determine whether there is a wizard apprenticeship qualification, it is enough to pay a gold coin."
As he spoke, the sixth man quietly pouted behind him, pointed to the old blacksmith and said, "The old man also took his son Ayi, who has no wizard qualifications, and now he still feels sorry for that gold coin." ”Green was pleasantly surprised: "Where is that wizard" The sixth man's face changed, and he looked at Green in shock: "You don't want to go, a gold coin is not a small expense, we don't have so much money to waste." ”Green hesitated for a moment.If he really lost one gold coin, it would indeed be a big blow to Green, who only had more than two gold coins.However, if this opportunity is lost, there may never be such a chance in the futureFinally, Green nodded firmly.After being shocked for a long time, the sixth said: "In the City Lord's Mansion, it is said that the City Lord's baby daughter has been identified as a wizard, and of course, she is also the only one in Bissel City. ”"Sixth brother, thank you."
Green was so excited that he even forgot all the unpleasant things about the old butler at the Viscount's Mansion before, and his mind was full of things about wizards.Grimm ran desperately to his two small huts, and dragged out a chest from the most secret place, which contained a large number of silver and copper coins."
You must be a wizard," counted a hundred silver coins, and after thinking about it, Green took the Nose Hunting and Scent Atlas magic and witchcraft books with him, hid the box, and Green ran towards Bissel City again.Since it was already summer, the days were long and the nights were short, but fortunately it was not dark.The lord of the castle is the noblest nobleman in Bissel City, and is said to be the only marquis in this area.Unless he goes to other urban areas, in the Bissel region, the lord of the city is the most powerful noble, and even the viscount must be obedient.The City Lord's Mansion Green had only seen it a few times from a distance, and in the past, it would be heavily guarded, with seven or eight knights guarding it, but now, there were many people coming in and out of the City Lord's Mansion.Green glanced at it, and most of the people who came in and out were shop owners or aristocrats in the city, and they were accompanied by their juniors, often with disappointed expressions.Knowing that the wizard was inside, Green rushed in without thinking about anything else."
Stop, pay a gold coin."
At this time, a boy about the same age as Green yelled at Green.Green painlessly gave a small bag of silver coins to the other party, and after the man glanced at Green disdainfully, he directly threw the small bag of silver coins into the box behind him, and he didn't count them.Green was stunned for a moment, judging from the other party's temperament and dress, he was just the son of a farmer, I guess I don't know what luck I had, I don't know how that arrogance came from.Glancing at the man with the same disdain, Green followed the crowd in front of him into the City Lord's Mansion.t1706231537:
