Chapter 2 A Wizard

After all, Old Ham didn't survive until the day Green married his wife and gave birth to a baby, and he died.

It was the beginning of spring, and the bitter cold wind had begun to soften. Old Ham and Green bought a small barrel of malt wine from the town after a day's work, cut up a few catties of meat, and planned to start renovating the house tomorrow. Finding a wife is also on the agenda.

Unfortunately, the next morning, Old Ham was no longer able to wake Green up to work.

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 the wishes in his dream came true. Anyway, when Green hired a few farmers to bury Old Ham, he was still smiling. , as free and easy as usual.

The tobacco rod that Old Ham cherished most was also buried by Green.

Old Ham's sudden departure left Green disappointed for a while, but life went on.

Green became the owner of these two thatched huts, as well as an old horse, two gold coins, and seventeen silver coins. These were the savings left by Old Ham in his life.

Of course, Green secretly hid the witchcraft book "Nose Hunting Modification and Odor Atlas" in the place where the gold coins were stored, and read it once or twice every night without consuming too much lamp oil.

This is a gap that Green opened to the wizarding world, peeping.

Gradually, summer has arrived.

It was still an ordinary day. After a busy morning, Green dumped a large amount of rubbish left over from the carnival of the aristocrats in the Viscount's Mansion last night outside the city, and then came to the Viscount's territory to take away from these servants the preparations for the Viscount today. supplies.

Green sat in the carriage, looking comfortably at the blue sky with white clouds fluttering.

Next to the carriage, a country girl named Mary loaded the goods deftly, which was better than ordinary boys.

Mary wears a linen apron, has a lot of freckles on her face, has blond hair, and her heart is beating violently. From time to time, she peeps at Green sitting comfortably in the carriage.

Looking at this handsome man, Mary fell in love with her, and smelled his unique smell, like the fragrance of ylang grass.

Green ignored Mary.

By chance a year ago, Green knew that this girl liked him. It was Old Ham who secretly told Green. Even Old Ham's plan was to let Green marry this girl as his wife.

But without saying anything, I have to admit in my heart that I really don't have any feelings for this hardworking and shy girl, at most she is 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 loading goods.

Seeing that Green didn't speak, the girl secretly observed Green while working. Seeing that the goods were gradually being moved to the carriage, according to past practice, Green would drive the carriage away. 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. At that time, everyone here was shocked. This is the first time I have seen the legendary wizard."

The girl pretended to be surprised and watched Green secretly.

Green, who was bored in the carriage, suddenly became energetic when he heard the word wizard, and said in disbelief, "Wizard? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, many people here have seen it."

Seeing Green talking, Mary happily responded.

Green said a little excitedly: "What does the wizard look like?"

Green, who had never seen a wizard before, pressed on.

"Hmm... that wizard was wearing a gray loose robe and a tall hat on his head. His face was unclear, as if covered by a layer of fog, and he was holding a frog with red eyes in his hand. By the way, he was talking to Imma at the head of the village."

Seeing Green's excited look, Mary told Green all the information she could know.

"Thanks, that's great!"

Green was very excited. Since he got the witchcraft book half a year ago, this was the first time Green got clues about real wizards.

He quickly ran to Imma's house at the head of the village.

Imma is a young woman of twenty-three or fourteen years old, but her figure has begun to become bloated. She wears a white apron around her bucket-like waist. She is already a mother of two children.

The male host is a hunter named Sogara, with a strong body and a very bold personality. There is a scar on the left side of his face that was cut by the tusk of a porcupine.

Seeing Green's arrival, Sogara was very surprised and said, "Hey, Green is here, haha, are you attracted by the scent here? Come, come, this is the wild game caught in the eastern mountain yesterday..."

In the kitchen, Imma came out, and two children looked at Green curiously.

half an hour later.

Green left Emma's house excitedly, muttering excitedly: "Bissel City, I really went to Bissel City!"

In a hurry, Green drove the carriage to the city, and the old horse trotted all the way. I was afraid that it would die early, and fell into the dirt with Old Ham.

At the entrance of the Viscount's Mansion, four tall knights stood behind the arrogant old butler, blocking the entrance.

The old butler looked at the dozen or so farmers surrounding the entrance of the Viscount's mansion and roared, "Your land was bestowed by the Viscount, and the Viscount can collect taxes as he wants. Do you want to rebel? Tell you... ..."

Green waited anxiously in the distance.

Basically, at this time of year, a large number of farmers would block up the entrance of the Viscount's Mansion and make trouble. After being cleaned up by these tall knights, the farmers would disperse, but the process took a long time or a short time.

"Untouchable! Untouchable! How dare you talk back!"

The old butler growled: "Get you out of here!"

It took only a short while for the four tall and burly knights to beat and kick all the dozen farmers away.

The old butler was very angry, blowing his beard and staring.

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!"

Glancing at Green, he casually flipped through the goods on Green's carriage, and the old butler scolded, "Why are you so slow, do you still want to do it?"

Green grinned, feeling suffocated for a long time.

This old guy has already charged himself two silver coins for benefits this month, and he can only get four silver coins after working in the Viscount's Mansion for a month. Although the salary is high, he can't help this old guy oppressing him like this.

"Master Steward, the younger one arrived before, but those peasants blocked the road so they didn't go in."

Green is young and energetic, but he is not Old Ham, who does not have such a good temper.

Immediately, the old butler seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, his hair was standing on end, his face was flushed, and he pointed at Green's nose and growled.

"Bastard! How dare you talk back, a pariah? It seems that Lord Viscount has raised you for nothing! Good! Good... don't come tomorrow, get out!"

After finishing speaking, the old steward walked into the yard angrily, and shouted to the knight beside him, "When this pariah comes again tomorrow, I will break his leg, or you won't be able to use it."

Green stood beside the carriage, mad with anger, and kept cursing in his heart that the old guy would go to see Old Ham tomorrow.

Suddenly, Green thought of something, and after grunting, he parked the carriage under a big tree not far away, and ran to a blacksmith shop in the small town.

"Hello, Sixth Brother."

Green greeted an apprentice blacksmith.

When Green was still begging in the city of Bissel, there were always nine beggars begging together, and Green was the eighth.

Afterwards, they each had their own chances, Green was taken away by Old Ham, the sixth child entered the blacksmith shop as an apprentice, and the second child reportedly went to the countryside to become a servant, and as for the others, there was no news.

"Old eight!"

When the blacksmith apprentice saw Green, his eyes lit up, he strode over, and patted Green: "Why come to me when you have time?"

With a height of more than 1.8 meters, he smelled of sweat and was full of masculinity. Now the sixth child is much stronger than Green, with a full beard, and his cheeks are red from being smoked by the stove all the year round. He patted Green with rough hands It hurts.

"Sixth brother, I want to ask you something. I heard that a wizard has come to the city?"

Green asked in a low voice, and Lao Liu's expression changed.

"How do you know? A wizard has indeed come. It is said that he is here to accept students with wizard qualifications, but it costs a full gold coin to identify whether he has the qualifications of a wizard apprentice."

As he said that, the sixth child pouted quietly behind him, pointed to the old blacksmith and said, "The old man also took his son Ayi, who has no qualifications as a wizard, and now he still feels sorry for that gold coin."

Green was pleasantly surprised: "Where is that wizard?"

The sixth child's expression changed, and he looked at Green in shock: "You don't mean to go, do you? A gold coin is not a small fee, and we don't have so much money to waste."

Green hesitated for a moment.

If it is true that one gold coin is lost, it will indeed be a big blow to Green, who only has more than two gold coins.

However, if this opportunity is lost, maybe there will be no such opportunity in the future...

Finally, Green nodded firmly.

After being shocked for a long time, the sixth child said, "It's in the city lord's mansion. It is said that the city lord's precious daughter has been certified as a wizard. Of course, she is the only one in Bissel City."

"Thank you brother six."

Green was so excited that he even forgot all the unpleasant things about the old butler in the Viscount's mansion, and his mind was full of things about wizards.

Green ran desperately towards his two small huts, and dragged out a box from the most secret place, which contained a lot of silver and copper coins.

"Must be a wizard! Must be!"

After counting out one hundred silver coins and thinking about it, Green took the magic and witchcraft book "Nose Hunting Transformation and Odor Atlas" and hid the box. Green ran to Bissel City again.

Since it is already summer, the days are long and the nights are short, but fortunately it is not dark.

The Lord of the City is the most noble noble in Bissel City, and it is said that he is the only Lord Marquis in this area.

Unless you go to other urban areas, in the Bissel region, the city lord is the most powerful nobleman, and even the viscount must be obedient.

Green has only seen the City Lord's Mansion a few times from a distance. In the past, it would be heavily guarded, guarded by seven or eight knights, but now, there are many people coming and going in and out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Green took a rough look. Most of these people who came in and out were shop owners or nobles in the city, accompanied by their juniors, often with disappointed expressions.

Green knew that the wizard was inside, so he rushed in regardless of other things.

"Stop, pay a gold coin fee."

At this time, a boy who was about the same age as Green yelled at Green.

Green handed a small bag of silver coins to the other party in pain. After the man glanced at Green with disdain, he threw the small bag of silver coins into the box behind him without counting them.

Green was stunned for a moment. Judging from the temperament and dress of the other party, he looked like a farmer's son. He probably didn't know what kind of luck he had, and he didn't know how he got that arrogance.

Glancing at this person with the same disdain, Green followed the crowd in front of him into the City Lord's Mansion.
