Chapter 160 - Young Master Kuo

Joan looked through the window in the direction of the quarrel, and the first thing he saw was a teenager about his age.

The other party was slightly taller than him, slightly plump, with chestnut hair combed meticulously, wearing a snow-white silk shirt, a black woolen windbreaker, and polished leather boots. He held a small bowler hat in his left hand and a cane in his right. Walking towards the carriage.

Behind this well-dressed rich young man was a dark-skinned little boy in a servant's uniform, who seemed to be trying to persuade his young master not to get close to the dirty public carriage, but to take a private carriage that the family had prepared for him. It's a pity that his little master is quite stubborn, determined to experience the way of ordinary citizens' travel, and strode away from the little manservant towards the car door.

"No, Master Thomas! This kind of carriage is not worthy of your status! Master will kill me if he finds out!"

The little servant tried to stop him, but the boy named Thomas swung his cane angrily and slapped him hard on the back. The little manservant immediately screamed in pain.

"Go away! Bobby, you stupid bastard! If you stop me again, I'll sell you to the whaling ship!" Thomas snapped.

The little servant was so frightened that he burst into tears, took two steps back sobbing, his eyes were red with tears in his eyes, and watched his young master triumphantly board the public carriage like a triumphant general.

Seeing this scene, Qiao An couldn't help frowning.

This kind of young master who came from a rich family and was spoiled since he was a child, is usually spoiled and willful, and treats his servants rudely and rudely. He really can't understand it.

However, if you don't like it, you can't get used to it. After all, this is someone else's family business. He has no right to interfere and doesn't want to cause trouble, so he simply turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind.

Joan came from the simple and honest countryside, and he didn't want to deal with young masters in the city. Unfortunately, the young man named Thomas boarded the carriage he was in, looked around after getting on the carriage, and then walked towards him excitedly. He sat down in the empty seat beside him, took off his hat and smiled, and greeted him proactively.

"Good morning, the weather is fine."

"Good morning, the weather is not bad."

Joan reluctantly nodded in return. As soon as the words were finished, there was a cool breeze blowing outside the window, and the drizzle fell down.

Seeing the sudden change in the weather, Joan and Thomas looked at each other silently and laughed at the same time. Perhaps influenced by the hearty laughter of the other party, Joan's perception of Thomas has also improved.

"How may I call you?"

"Joan Vida."

"My name is Thomas Chap, just call me Thomas, and your accent doesn't seem like a local?"

"I'm from Delin Town, a small place in the countryside."

"Derlin Town, I know! I heard that the golden trout in your place is good, do you know how to fish?"

"In a little while..."

Joan was forced to deal with this talkative young master, chatting with him everywhere.

At this time, the conductor came over again, and Thomas took out his wallet to buy a ticket.

Joan accidentally saw a whole check in his wallet, a few gold coins, but not even a single copper or silver coin.

Thomas himself was aware of this problem, hesitated for about a second, and simply grabbed a gold coin and was about to throw it into the coin slot.

Qiao An quickly raised her hand to stop him, took out her wallet by herself, and took out a silver coin to buy a ticket for him.

The conductor handed over the ticket, and his eyes lingered on Thomas's face for a while, probably thinking that the boy who planned to buy tickets with gold coins was a bit strange.

"Thank you, Mr. Vida, today is the first time I took a public carriage, and I forgot to prepare change in advance." Thomas scratched his head embarrassingly.

"You're welcome, just call me Joan. It's also my first time riding a public carriage." Joan replied softly.

"Where do you get off at?"

"Leighton College."

"What a coincidence, I also got off at Leiden College, so I don't have to worry about not being able to pay you back!" Thomas said excitedly.

"It's just a silver coin, don't worry about it." Joan pretended to be generous with a guilty conscience.

"By the way, you are a student of Leiden College?"

"Barely count, today is to report."

"I'm going to report too, the Master of the Arcane Law Branch, how about you?"

Joan turned her head in surprise, looked at Thomas seriously for the first time, and answered after a long time: "That's a coincidence, I'm just like you."

Thomas couldn't help cheering, and said with a smile: "It seems that I decided to take the public carriage today is really a correct decision, now it's all right, I have someone to accompany me on the road!"

The common school and major brought the two young people closer. Thomas is a native of Port Leiden. Although he is a young man from a rich family, he doesn't know much about the sufferings of the people at the bottom. After all, he is more familiar with Leiden College than outsiders like Joan. He told him a lot of anecdotes about the college during the car ride.

Joan was listening intently, when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and a drop of water seeped from the ceiling of the carriage, and happened to land on him. When I looked up, I realized that the wooden ceiling of the carriage was probably in disrepair for a long time, and cracks had appeared in some places. It was not easy to notice on a sunny day, but it was rainy at this time, and the rain seeped down through the cracks in the ceiling, leaving a large black stain on the ceiling, and a drop or two fell from time to time.

"This broken car is really disgusting. It's raining heavily outside and light rain inside." Thomas complained and moved to the side so that Joann could avoid the leak.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the water seepage in the car was getting worse.

The passengers in the car seem to have gotten used to this, and some even held up umbrellas in the car, which seemed to be prepared.

Thomas frowned his bushy eyebrows. He couldn't stand it any longer. He leaned over and asked Joan, "Do you have any magnets on you? Mine may not be enough."

Joan guessed what he wanted to do, nodded and said: "I still have some in my bag, enough to repair the carriage."

"Great! There are still two stops away from the academy, let's hurry up and get this broken car!"

Thomas unbuttoned the cuffs of his white shirt, rolled up the sleeves, got up and walked to the ceiling where the water dripped the most, took out a small piece of magnet from the storage bag he carried with him, put the magnet on his toes, and touched it lightly. There was a crack in the roof of the carriage, chanting incantations and performing the 0-ring trick "repair".

In a blink of an eye, the magnetic piece in his hand melted into a stream of golden light, which injected into the ceiling crack and disappeared, and the crack was also smoothed out.

Joan handed Thomas a small package of neatly cut magnet pieces, and walked under a ceiling with cracks, intending to cast a spell to repair it.

It's a pity that when he was ready to cast the spell, he realized that he was too short, and he couldn't reach the crack on the top of his head even if he stood on tiptoe.
