Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 73 An unexpected gain

 Peter Clovis turned his head sharply and looked at the person coming. He was filled with anger that needed to be vented.

 But as soon as he saw the appearance of the person coming, his anger was immediately reduced by half.

 Hardy is a person who is highly discussed in the upper class society.

 Because of the relationship with the Jeanne family, Hardy, a special ‘variable’, also frequently appeared in the topics discussed by the nobles.

More importantly, Hardy is a hawk, and his arrival prompted a change in the behavior of the entire Jeanne family.

Peter took a deep breath and tried to make his voice calmer. He said slowly: "Sir Hardy, there is no need for you to participate in such a thing."

"We in Hexi County are all barbarians in the eyes of the nobles in the royal city. But the Lord of Virginia once said: I look down on nobles who bully ordinary people for nothing. Anyone who dares to do this will have their title taken away." !” Hardy said with a smile: “I don’t know if Boris does this.”

　　While talking, Hadi had already approached and stood in front of the mother and son.

Peter's face turned red and blue, and he looked at Hardy's eyes, switching back and forth between anger and fear.

 Finally, Leonard, who had been watching the show, also came over.

"Third brother, don't do it too ugly, lest it damage the prestige of our family."

Peter looked at Leonard and said angrily: "Are you also looking at outsiders?"

"I'm just thinking about the family's reputation." Leonard said with a cold face: "You don't want our family to lag behind others in the election of the crown prince in a few years."

Facing the pressure from the two nobles, Peter had to stop no matter how angry he was. He snorted and said, "If this woman appears in front of me again, she will not be so lucky."

 After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

 The mother and son also immediately turned around and ran away from here.

Leonard looked at Peter's back, with a hint of disdain on his face.

 He and Peter were not born from the same mother.

Peter's mother died after giving birth to her first three sons. Then Varus Clovis married Patience Lo from Kievan Rus in the following year.

 Leonard and Galen were both descended from Patience.

Hardy looked at the atmosphere between Peter and Leonard and immediately understood that there were also rifts in the Lion family.

 Although there are not many capable people in the Jeanna family, at least... they are very harmonious.

 “It made you laugh.” Leonard smiled awkwardly.

 He also knew some things about his family and let the other party see it.

The two of them did not speak anymore, but took a carriage and arrived at a small manor.

This place is full of green plants, and there are strange and never-before-seen plants everywhere, and there are also some weird bugs flying around, seeming to be collecting nectar.

There are no guards inside...but Hardy looked at these colorful bugs and knew that there was no need for guards here.

He has seen a lot of these things. They are poisonous insects that cause headaches and are easily controlled by magic.

Walking around in this garden, we soon came to a place surrounded by plants. There were many trellises with many shining different plants entwined on them.

On the left side of these wooden shelves, there is a large table with many bottles and cans on it, which also exudes a strange smell.

 Behind the desk, there was a woman working at the desk.

“Mother, someone wants to ask you a question.” Leonard walked up and said, “About magic.”

　　The woman behind the desk raised her head, with a hint of impatience on her cold and pretty face: "Are you accepting other people's gems again?"

 “If you don’t collect gems, how can you do magic experiments.” Leonard laughed dryly.

Hardy was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the intelligence stated that Leonard liked gems very much and he wanted to help his mother collect magic materials.

It is true that many magics require casting materials.

Most of the casting materials are expensive.

The woman stood up, looked at Hardy and said, "If you have any questions, just ask, and don't disturb me from my magic experiment."

“Can a caravan specializing in alchemy make money?”

"This has nothing to do with magic." Patience snorted: "This is business... Hey, are you using magic intuition?" Hardy was stunned for a moment, and the other party actually saw it.

 “Leonard, please leave first.”

Leonard's face changed drastically. He looked at the two of them nervously and stammered: "No... Mother, you are alone with a man. Aren't you afraid that... Father will be angry?"

 “He doesn’t dare.” Patience frowned: “Why don’t you go out?”

Leonard looked at Hardy hatefully and warned: "Don't mess around, otherwise I will drag you to **** even if you die."

Hardy shrugged helplessly.

 Leonard then left slowly.

Patience looked Hardy up and down: "You want to ask me something, but you secretly use intuition. What are you trying to find out?"

 “It’s just a habit.” Hardy smiled.

 Magical intuition is a kind of magic that seems to have little effect, but in fact it can work in all aspects.

 Handy recently learned it from the book "Intermediate Magic Theory".

 It’s really useful.

 In many cases, it can be regarded as a kind of more effective 'luck'.

Just like Hardy asked if alchemy can make money, and then Intuition told him...it seems not.

 This is the role of intuition.

 Even... when doing magic experiments, use intuition, and ask yourself: Is this a good ratio?

Intuition will also respond to you.

 But the success rate... is not very high.

And because the person you are asking is too strong or the ‘destiny’ is complicated, the accuracy will be greatly reduced, or even the person will not respond to you.

In addition, people with strong magical attainments can also feel the intuition skill hanging on you.

Just like Patience just now.

 She walked up to Hardy, and the faint scent of medicine hit her face: "As far as I know, only a few people in our True Vision Society understand the intuition technique. Where did you learn it?"

 “In the book!”

 “Intermediate magic theory?”

Hardy nodded.

"You can learn it just by reading a book?" Patience's expression became brighter, no longer frosty and cold: "Is it the one compiled by E.P.R?"

Hardy nodded again.

 “You seem to be a smart man, what is your name?”

"Hardy?" Patience let down her braided hair, and showed a relaxed expression: "I seem to have heard this name somewhere before."

Hardy did not speak, but he felt that he seemed to have found a clue.

"Ah, I remembered it." Patience's palm-sized face was full of joy: "More than a year ago, my alchemy caravan was assigned a task: to find the Hardy family in Hexi Town. trade route."

Hardy stared into Patience's beautiful gray eyes: "Who arranged it?"

Patience stretched out her beautiful little hand, the palm of which was white and smooth: "Where's the reward?"

Patience took back her hand and smiled: "Blake Bollan."

Hardy's face turned gloomy at first, but after a moment, he smiled ferociously.

 Sunny and cheerful.
