noble magician

This title made Lance stunned for a moment, West?

Not long ago, someone claimed to be a Wester. Of course, it was later proved that he used a fake name. His real surname should be Xi Zuoan.Lance recalled the man's face, and then cast doubtful eyes on his father.It was the first time he heard that his father had a surname. He always thought that he only had a first name, and he was the down-and-out blacksmith Ender.

It's just that Ender is not in the mood to answer Lance's doubts now, and his face has become even uglier because of the baron's words.

"Your investigation work is quite thorough. Should I be moved by this?" Ender said sarcastically.

Baron Thoranes shrugged, showing no displeasure at his words.

"Maybe you look down on a little nobleman like me, but don't forget, you have been deprived of that noble surname. Now you are just a commoner, Ander, a blacksmith without a surname, and you are not even a little nobleman." superior."

Baron Thoranes talked about other people's sad things with ease, but there was a vicious look in his eyes.Although the minor nobles have the title of nobility, they are on the edge of the noble world. This may be the sore point of every minor noble.Every time Baron Thoranes uttered a word, Ender's expression became worse.

"If I were you, I'd think carefully about your son's future. It's in the best interest of us all! There's nothing to be ashamed of, Mr. Ender. A man of good times would have toast and milk, You can sleep on warm bedding and live in a dry and comfortable house, don’t you think so?”

"It's not your turn to teach me, Solans." Anderton stood up abruptly, the muscles on his face seemed to be trembling with anger, making people feel that he might rush forward to kill the Baron at any time. Get a beating.

Lance frowned when he saw his father's appearance.

Baron Solans rubbed his eyebrows in distress: "I have said so much and you still haven't changed your mind?" He suddenly looked at Lance and said, "What do you think? This is related to your future, why don't you do it yourself Decide." He didn't miss talking about the longing on the teenager's face when he was in school.

Ander's body froze, but he didn't interrupt.For his own son, he felt guilty after all.If... If he really wants to make such a choice... He feels that he has no position to object.

Lance looked at Baron Thoranes, his silver eyes shone with a strange thick light, which gave the baron an illusion of being extremely humble in an instant.

"I listen to my father, and his decision is my decision." Lance's voice was not loud, but every word he said was forceful and unambiguous, "My father is a commoner, a blacksmith without a surname, But I respect him and am proud of him."

After Lance finished speaking, the whole study fell into silence.

Ender could hardly control the sourness in his eyes, just now he was even ready to lose this son.It's just that what did he do that deserves Lance's respect and Lance's pride in himself?Ender had never felt so guilty.After many years, he finally found his place in others' hearts.

Ever since Lance said those words, Baron Thoranes didn't smile any more. He glanced at the father and son with a gloomy expression, and called the butler's name in a rough voice, making people think that this unwitting The father and son were blasted out of the house.

"Please, both of you." The butler raised his eyelids and said to the air without looking at them.

Lance and Ender looked at each other, but for some reason they laughed.They were kicked out in an extremely disgraceful manner, but their steps were extremely easy.

Ender looked up at the blue sky, feeling bitter and sweet at the same time.

It's about time, he thought.

It's a pity that he didn't think about it for long before he was interrupted by a flying stone.

Ender has been fooling around for so many years, eating too much and being lazy all day long, his skills have long since failed, and he forgot to dodge such a small stone suddenly flying.Fortunately, Lance stretched out his hand to grab it cleverly, and easily caught the thing.He threw the stone in the palm of his hand, and then threw it back toward where it came from.

"Ah!" There was an exclamation from the nearby bushes, and two figures appeared immediately.

Lance is a little funny, and at this level, he is also imitating others to play sneak attacks.

Hiding in the bushes was a young girl and her servant. As soon as the stone was thrown, the two began to hide in a rather awkward manner. Their movements were clumsy, and they immediately exposed their tracks.

The girl's cheeks were flushed red, and she was glaring at Ander and his son.The other was dressed as a servant of the baron's mansion. She was holding a few small stones in her hands, and she didn't let go of them even when she was hiding just now.

"Bring it!" the girl shouted, and the maid immediately handed her a stone.As soon as the girl took it, she threw it towards Lance!

It's a pity that the aim this time was not very good and I missed.

Seeing that the stone missed, the girl became even more angry, and grabbed several stones in one breath and threw them out at the same time.

It's just a stone thrown by the girl's temper. It has no lethality at all, and Lance doesn't even have to dodge it.

"Go find me some more stones." The girl ordered the maid, and then turned to Lance with a disgusted face, "You are the mage who wants to eat swan meat! Let me tell you, how far can you go?" How far away, who would marry a country bumpkin like you! Go back and look in the mirror, Miss Ben is not worthy of someone like you."

Lance was stunned for a moment. This girl was dressed gorgeously and accompanied by servants. She was probably the daughter of Thoranes.Thinking of the baron's proposal just now, Lance's mood is quite delicate.He hadn't said anything yet, but Ender had already spoken.

"Ah, Miss, I'm afraid you misunderstood. We just rejected your father's proposal, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

The girl was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at the two of them suspiciously. Then she turned her eyes to the housekeeper for help. The housekeeper had kept his eyes down since just now, as if he hadn't seen anything.After getting his nod of confirmation, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ender saw this, a smirk appeared on his lips and said: "I almost forgot to say, your father has not given up on the idea of ​​recruiting a son-in-law, and it is estimated that someone else will come soon. Please be sure to open your eyes to see clearly, if It would be terrible if there was a crooked melon and a broken date! I hope you find a husband who is more handsome and better than my son, goodbye."

The young lady of the baron's family just felt relieved, when she heard what he said, she immediately lost her temper and stomped her feet vigorously, while Ander left the baron's mansion with Lance, who was suppressing a smile.

Baron Thoranes in the study saw the farce in the garden. He opened the drawer and took out the letter.

"Is it still a step too late?" the baron said to himself, throwing the letter on the table.

The brown letter paper fell lightly on the table, and the following content was written on it:

Gagne Xizoan has shown interest in that boy, and seems to intend to train him. If you still have ideas, you'd better hurry up. "

The more Baron Thoranes thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He couldn't explain Ender's refusal other than that. He crumpled up the letter and walked out of the study.

Ender returned to his log cabin. Although the baron had rejected him very simply, what he was facing now was a more realistic problem - Lance's tuition.Because of this problem that he had been ignoring intentionally or unintentionally, the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy, and even the air seemed to be stagnant.

Ender, who was preoccupied, looked a little strange, and Lance suddenly didn't know how to communicate with him now.

"I'll take care of your tuition." Ender suddenly broke the silence between the two.

Lance's silver eyes widened in an instant, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"Is it weird?" Ender asked with a wry smile.

"I see." Lance nodded.Although he didn't know where he was going to get the money, Lance would not ask, it was Ander's pride as a father, he just had to trust Ender.

"You don't ask me why I disagree with the baron's proposal?"

The predicament facing Baron Thoranes is actually the predicament of many minor nobles.In order to keep their hard-won status, these little nobles racked their brains to use each of their descendants, so the practice of recruiting sons-in-law is common.

Marriage doesn't sound good, and it's not a good option for someone with a surname.Generally speaking, they would rather spend more time earning money to pay for their tuition, or they would find a way to find a great nobleman to defect to and accept their sponsorship.

But for people like them who don't even have a surname, being a married woman is a beneficial thing, and most people would agree to it.

Lance kept his mouth shut.

"You have your own surname, which is thousands of times more honorable than a little nobleman like Solans who has no honor at all." Ander said, "Even if you can't say your surname openly for some reason now, But I will not allow you to shame your surname and marry a small nobleman like a baron."

"Noble?" The silver-haired boy clenched his fists, but there was a rare hint of sarcasm in the words he asked.

His tone surprised Ender: "What do you know?"

The young man was silent for a while, and said: "I have been looking for information about magic riots. The situation of unstable magic power has appeared in many mages, but like me, it will erupt every once in a while. People from that family are the only ones who use the magic expulsion potion to relieve symptoms. The traitor family, right?"

If the events that happened back then were not so sensational that almost everyone knew about them, he would not have accidentally discovered the secret of his life experience.
