Chapter 2 Straight to the City Lord's Mansion
After all, Old Ham didn't live until the day Green married his wife and gave birth to a baby, and he went to the ground.
It was a spring season, and the bitter cold wind had begun to soften. Old Ham and Green, who had finished their work, bought a small bucket of ale from the town, cut a few kilograms of meat, and prepared to start the renovation plan for this year's house tomorrow, and also put on the schedule for Green's wife. Unfortunately, the next morning, Old Ham could not ask Green to get up to work.
Old Ham left with a smile, not sure whether it was because of the good wine and meat that night before, or because all the wishes in the dream came true. Anyway, until Green hired a few farmers to bury Old Ham, the guy still smiled and was as free and easy as usual.
Green buried the cigarette rod that Old Ham cherished the most.
Old Ham's sudden departure made Green feel lost for a long time, but his life was still there.
Green became the owner of these two thatched huts, as well as an old horse and two gold coins and 17 silver coins. This is the savings left by Old Ham throughout his life. Now they are all Green, and it is Green's entire existing property. Of course, Green privately hid the magic book "Narrow Hunting Renovation and Smell Map" in the place where gold coins were stored, and basically read it once or twice every night without spending too much lamp oil.
Gradually, it is summer.
It was still an ordinary day. After a busy morning, Green dumped a large amount of garbage left after the carnival of the Viscount's nobles last night outside the city, and then came to Viscount's territory and took away the supplies prepared for Viscount from these servants. Green sat in the carriage and looked at the blue sky and white clouds fluttering.
Next to the carriage, a country girl named Mary was carrying goods with her hands and feet, which was more capable than ordinary boys. She was wearing a linen apron, with many freckles on her face, and had golden hair, and her heart was pounding. From time to time, she peeked at Green, who was sitting comfortably on the carriage, and looked at this handsome man, Mary liked him so much that she smelled the unique smell on his body, just like the fragrance of Ayran grass.
Green ignored Mary. By chance a year ago, Green knew that the girl liked her, or was it that Old Ham secretly told Green. Even in Old Ham's plan, he wanted Green to marry this girl as a woman. However, he had to admit in his heart that he really had no feelings for this diligent and shy girl, at most, the younger sister next door. So after Old Ham left, Green never took the initiative to contact the girl, but saw it once every day when loading goods.
Seeing that Green didn't speak, the girl secretly observed Green while working. Seeing that the goods were gradually moving to the carriage, Green would drive the carriage away according to the past practice. The girl finally bit her lip and couldn't help but speak: "Green, in the morning, a wizard passed by here and asked how to get to Bissel City. Everyone here was shocked. This was the first time I saw the 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 felt enlightened, and said incrediblely: "Witch? Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, many people here have seen it." Mary responded happily when she saw Green talking.
Green was a little excited: "What does that wizard look like?" Green asked after he had never seen a wizard before.
"Well... the wizard was wearing a wide gray robe and a high-legged hat on his head. His face was not clear, as if it was covered with fog, and he was holding a frog with red eyes in his hand. By the way, he was talking to Ima at the village head at that time."
Looking at Green's excited look, Mary told Green all the information she could know.
"Thank you." Green was very excited. This was the first time Green had a clue about a real wizard since he got the magic book half a year ago.
He ran quickly to the village head Ima's house. Ima was a 23 or 24-year-old girl with two children. The male owner was a hunter named Sogara. She was strong and had a very generous personality.
Sogara was surprised to see Green coming: "Yo, Green is here, haha, were you attracted by the fragrance here? Come on, the wild boar I was lucky enough to catch yesterday..." In the kitchen, Ima walked out, and two children looked at Green curiously.
Half an hour later, Green left Emma's house excitedly and muttered excitedly: "Bissel City, I really went to Bessel City!" It was so exciting that Green drove the carriage to the city. Old Horse trotted all the way and was really afraid that it would die early, so he followed Old Ham to the Kingdom of Heaven.
At the gate of the Viscount Mansion, four tall and big knights stood behind the arrogant old housekeeper, blocking the door. The old housekeeper looked at the dozen or so farmers surrounding the gate of the Viscount Mansion with a gloomy look, and roared: "Your land is given by Lord Viscount. You can collect taxes as much as you want! Do you want to rebel? Tell you..."
Green was waiting anxiously in the distance. Basically, at this time of year, a large number of farmers would block the gate of the Viscount Mansion and cause trouble. Then, after being cleaned up by these high-horse knights, the farmers would scatter. It was just that the process was long and short.
"Unpardon! Unpardon! You dare to talk back!" the old butler roared: "Turn you away for me!"
Four tall and big knights drove away all the dozen farmers with one punch and kick. The old butler was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.
Green didn't dare to delay, so he drove into the Viscount's Mansion in a low-key manner. The old butler roared, "Stop!" He glanced at Green, casually flipped the goods on Green's carriage, and scolded, "Why are you so slow? Do you still want to do it?"
Green grinned and felt a little angry. This old guy had already collected the benefits of two silver coins this month. He could work for Viscount's Mansion for a month or get three or four silver coins. Although the wages were high, he couldn't help but squeeze this old guy like this.
"Sir, the young man has arrived before, but the farmers blocked the way and didn't get in." Green is not old Ham, he doesn't have such a good temper.
Suddenly, the old housekeeper seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest. His face turned red and pointed at Green's nose and roared: "Bastard! You, the untouchable, dare to talk back? It seems that the Viscount has been in vain! OK! OK... I won't use it tomorrow, get out of here!" After that, the old housekeeper entered the yard angrily and shouted to the knight beside him: "If this untouchable comes again tomorrow, break his legs for me, otherwise you won't use it."
Green stood next to the carriage, furiously angry, and kept cursing the old guy in his heart that he would go to see Old Ham tomorrow.
Suddenly, Green thought of something, and after a humming sound, he parked the carriage under a big tree not far away, and ran to a blacksmith shop in the small town.
"Hey, Brother Six." Green greeted an apprentice in iron.
When Green was begging in Beeser City, nine beggars were always begging together. Green ranked eighth in the first place. After that, each had opportunities. Green was taken away by Old Ham, and Old Six entered the blacksmith shop as an apprentice. The second one was said to have gone to the countryside to work as a servant, and no one else had any news.
"Old Eight!" The iron-smash apprentice lit up when she saw Green, and she strode over and patted Green: "How come you have time to come to me?"
The height of 1.8 meters is covered with a sour smell of sweat, full of manly atmosphere. Now this sixth is much stronger than Green. His beard is all over the place, and his cheeks are red because they are smoked and roasted by the stove all year round. His rough hands slapped Green's body and hurt.
"Brother Six, I'll ask you something. I heard that a wizard came to the city?" Green asked in a low voice.
Lao Liu's face changed: "How do you know? There is indeed a wizard. It is said that he is here to collect students with wizard qualifications, but it costs a full amount of gold coins to determine whether he has wizard apprenticeship." As he said that, Lao Liu quietly angrily pointed at the old blacksmith and pointed at the old blacksmith, saying: "The old man also took his son Ayi. The identification is that he does not have wizard qualifications, and he still feels sorry for that gold coins now."
Green was surprised and said, "Where is that wizard?"
Lao Liu's face changed and he looked at Green in shock: "You don't want to go, right? A gold coin is not a small fee, we don't have that much money to waste."
Hesitated for a moment.
If you really lose one gold coin, it will be a big blow to Green, who only has two more gold coins. However, if you lose this opportunity, you may never have such an opportunity again...
Finally, Green nodded firmly. After being shocked for a long time, Lao Liu said, "Just in the City Lord's Mansion, it is said that the City Lord's treasured daughter has been identified as a wizard qualification. Of course, he is also the only one in Bissel City."
"Thank you, Brother Six." Green was so excited that he even forgot about the old housekeeper in the Viscount's Mansion. His mind was full of things about wizards. He ran to his two small huts with no chance, dragging a box from the most secret place, which contained a large handful of silver and copper coins.
"You must be a wizard! You must!"
After counting out a hundred silver coins, Green took the magic book "Narrow Hunting Transformation and Smell Map" again, hid the box, and Green ran to Bissel City again.
Since it was already summer, the days were long and the nights were short, fortunately it was not dark.
The Lord of the City is the noblest noble in Bissel City. It is said that he is the only Marquis in this land. Unless he goes to the other city-led area, in the Beessel area, the Lord of the City will be whatever he says, even the Viscount must be obedient.
Green had only seen the city lord's mansion a few times apart. In the past, there were seven or eight knights guarding it. But now, there are many people coming and going in and out of the city lord's mansion. Green took a brief look and found that most of the people coming and going were shop owners or nobles in the city, and their juniors were also on their side, often with disappointed expressions.
Green knew that the Wizard was inside, so he rushed in without caring about anything else.
"Stop and pay a gold coin fee." At this time, a boy about the same size as Green scolded Green.
Green gave the other party a small bag of silver coins in pain. The man glanced at Green disdainfully and threw the small bag of silver coins into the box behind him, without counting. Green was stunned for a moment. Judging from the other party's temperament and dress, he looked like a farmer's son. He probably didn't know what kind of luck he had, and he didn't know how proud he got.
