Bab 157: A rare leisurely day
"This is my new maid. I will tell you the details later, mother." Richard looked at his mother who had a puzzled look on his face and said with a smile.
"Respected Baron and Baroness Clavel, I am the master's new maid, Stephana Knight."
Stephanie had long seen that family members held a very important position in Richard's heart, so she bowed like a lady to the old baron and his wife and spoke very politely.
In fact, as the daughter of a hereditary marquis, to be honest, if the other party was not the parents of her master Richard, it would be normal for an ordinary baron to salute her when he saw her.
The moment Stephanie bent down, several family guards who were standing guard not far away couldn't help but feel their Adam's apples moving, and they swallowed and whispered to each other.
"Master Richard has great taste. I wonder where he found such a beautiful woman as his maid!"
"I thought Master Richard's maid Serena was pretty enough, but I didn't expect that he would find someone even prettier now."
"Yeah, I'm so envious! I have to go find Frieda to relieve my anger tonight."
"."
But when the old baron heard the word Knight, he frowned, as if puzzled. After a moment, he asked, "The Knight family of the kingdom and you?"
"German Knight is the maid's father." Stephanie smiled slightly. She didn't expect that Richard's father had good taste.
The old baron opened his mouth in surprise, and immediately pulled Richard aside and asked,
"What's going on? Why did you take the daughter of a hereditary marquis as your maid?"
Richard suddenly gave a bitter smile. He should have reminded Stephanie not to reveal her real name.
Now that's great. I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of time explaining this matter to my family.
"Father, this is hard to explain in a few words. I will tell you in detail after dinner."
-
Surrounded by the crowd, Richard and Stephanie came to the Inner Castle Restaurant. Since the hidden danger of monsters had been solved, the whole sumptuous dinner was spent in a happy and warm atmosphere.
As dinner was about to end, Duan, a second-level wizard apprentice of the Ignis School, stood up.
He said to Richard and everyone else: "Since Mr. Richard has returned safely and the source of the monsters has been eliminated, I will return to the school tomorrow morning. I wish the Clavier family better and better."
Since Duan should have returned to the school two days ago, but was delayed until now due to Richard's commission, everyone had already anticipated his departure.
"Thank you, Lord Duan, for protecting the Clavel family over the past six months. Let's raise our glasses!" The old baron raised his glass.
Everyone raised their glasses to pay tribute to Duan.
After the dinner, Richard made a private appointment with Duan.
"Mr. Duan, would you mind taking a walk together?"
Duan looked at Richard, who was a few years younger than him and exuded the aura of a first-level wizard apprentice. At this moment, his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
Even though he had not been in the school for half a year, there must have been many talented wizard apprentices in the school, but the one in front of him should still be the best among them, or even the most eye-catching one.
It's just that the other party has always been relatively low-key, using some kind of witchcraft to conceal his aura, and has never revealed his true strength.
"Sir Richard, I am back at the academy this time. How can I be of service?"
Richard looked at Duan in front of him, a second-level wizard apprentice who, according to the feedback from the Baron's father and brother Levi, was very reliable in both behavior and character.
Li Jue felt that he should give the other party some gifts, which could be regarded as making friends with him deliberately.
After all, the other party was entrusted by Teacher Ceres to work hard to protect his family during the past six months.
And a few days ago, when he had not yet arrived at the family, he did not hesitate to help the family resist the attack of monsters that were far beyond his own strength.
Richard showed a gentle smile and said, "Sir Duan, here are some potions I made, which may be of some help to you."
Duan, who originally wanted to refuse, was stunned when he saw Richard take out dozens of neatly arranged primary mental power recovery potions, hemostatic potions and a series of commonly used potions.
It's not that I'm surprised why Richard made these potions.
Instead, he was surprised by the number of potions. It really shocked him. It was not three or five potions, but thirty to fifty potions.
No matter where this is placed, it is a huge fortune worth more than 500 magic stones.
This made Duan hesitate for a moment.
Richard saw the desire and hesitation in Duan's eyes, the conflicting emotions intertwined with each other, and smiled gently, saying: "I hope Sir Duan can accept it. This is not only my intention, but also that of my father and the Clavier family. Please don't hesitate."
Listening to Richard's sincere tone, Duan thought for a moment, and said after: "Then I will accept it with a thick face. Thank you for the gift from the Clavel family."
-
After saying goodbye to Duan, Richard came to the study of the Baron's father.
Father, mother and elder brother were already waiting in the study.
"Father, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Richard briefly told his family about his encounter with the Kingdom Investigation Team in the rift of Silverpine Forest, and skipped over some of the secrets between him and Daenerys.
It's just that the Kingdom Investigation Team, led by a powerful ice wizard, killed a spider woman from the underground race, the source of the monsters.
"Richard, what about the legitimate daughter of Marquis Knight?"
"Hiss! What, father, you said that the maid next to Richard is the daughter of Marquis Knight, a hereditary marquis of the kingdom?" Brother Levi couldn't help but blurt out, with uncontrollable surprise in his eyes.
At this moment, the mother also opened her mouth wide and looked at Richard in surprise.
Richard touched his nose and was also thinking about how to tell this matter to his family.
"Well, this happened by accident half a year ago."
After Richard told this story, his family members realized that Richard's journey to becoming a wizard was not always smooth.
In fact, the danger was much greater than if Richard stayed in the family and became a knight.
As Richard recounted the various intrigues and secret tactics he had encountered, the Baroness couldn't help but shudder with fear, and looked at Richard with concern from time to time.
When Richard finished his story, there was a long silence in the study.
"Alas! Richard, your path as a wizard is not an easy one. As a family, there is very little we can do to help you. However, we will do our best to help you." The old baron sighed, patted Richard on the shoulder, and spoke first.
After thinking for a while, the old baron turned around, took out a heavy black bag from a secret cabinet behind the desk, and handed it to Richard.
"Here is a thousand gold dinars. I hope it will be of some use to you."
Richard shuddered all over. A thousand gold dinars was no longer a big deal to him. It was not even worth a hundred magic stones when converted.
But this has been the Clavier family's income for several years.
It represents the sincere love of my father and family.
"Father."
Of course Richard would not accept the money. Instead, he gave his father hundreds of magic stones and asked him to keep them carefully in the family secret room.
If the family encounters some difficulties and cannot contact me for a while, I can use this magic stone to hire a wizard apprentice like Duan to solve the problem.
——After
a long time, Richard returned to his room on the second floor of the inner castle.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw the little maid Selena, with a pretty face full of tears.
"Master, I heard the guards say that you have accepted a new maid who is much prettier than me. Master, do you not want me anymore?"
I saw Selena's big tears rolling down from her eyes!
Looking heartbroken.
Richard couldn't help but feel angry and amused, wondering why these family guards were so talkative and just spreading rumors.
But for the little maid Selina, she is just an ordinary person. To be honest, Richard doesn't want to have too many ties with Selina.
Because he himself, with the help of the inspiration panel, will be promoted to an official wizard in the near future.
A first-level wizard has a lifespan of two to three hundred years, which is much longer than the dozens of years that an ordinary person lives.
He doesn't want to endure too much separation and death.
But life span is not the most important thing.
The most critical issue is that he will always work towards the path of a wizard, constantly exploring dangerous secrets, ruins, and even places no one has ever been to, to pursue the pinnacle of wizards!
Those places are full of dangers, and it is impossible for him to take an ordinary person with him.
Therefore, if he let such a lovely little girl wait for him alone in his own castle for several years, or even meet him once every ten years just for his one-night stand, it would be too cruel to her!
"This is a fabrication, a rumor." Richard shook his head and said.
However, just as Richard finished speaking, a delicate voice came from the door: "Master, no wonder you have to stay in the family for a while, it turns out that this is the reason."
As soon as the words fell, Selina suddenly jumped out of Richard's arms like a frightened rabbit. After wiping her tears, she dared to turn around and look behind her.
He saw that the woman behind him who called his young master "the master" was extremely beautiful. More importantly, she had a well-proportioned figure and was obviously much bigger than him.
So, when Selena looked down at herself and compared herself with others, she suddenly felt like the difference between an ugly duckling and a white swan.
The person who came was Stephana, staring at the two of them with a smirk on her face.
"Wow!" Selena couldn't help sobbing and ran away.
But it bumped into Stephanie's pair of magnificent breasts and was instantly bounced away, which made Selena blush with shame. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Looking at the maid who was running away, Richard smiled bitterly and said, "Stephanie, what are you doing?"
"Master, if you like it, just eat it sooner. Why leave it there? If you don't eat it, it won't be fresh anymore." Stephanie said with a sly smile.
"Don't talk nonsense"
Richard discovered that since Stephanie's reincarnation, she seemed to be influenced by the Spider Woman's physical instincts and became more and more open.
She also became more and more fond of teasing and even teasing her master, which made him feel mixed emotions.
In the middle of the night
, there was a rustling sound of someone taking off clothes in front of Richard's bed.
A moment later, a hot body crawled into Richard's bed.
"Selena, have you really thought it through?"
"Maybe, the next time you see me will be a few years later. This long wait will definitely not be pleasant."
Of course Richard knew who was coming!
Unexpectedly, Stephanna's appearance made the little maid Selena make up her mind.
"Master, I've thought it through. I'm willing!"
Looking at the girl's clear eyes, Richard couldn't help but sigh.
A sleepless night. -
The next morning, Richard, feeling refreshed, asked Selena to have a good rest and arranged for other maids to take care of her.
He took Stephania for a stroll around the family castle. When he accidentally passed by the training ground, he saw his father, brother and Knight Rawlins sparring in the family training ground.
Richard nodded secretly. He didn't expect that his father and brother had been insisting on the knight training in the morning.
When the sharp-eyed brother Levi saw Richard, his face lit up and he waved his hand and said, "Richard, do you want to compete?"
"You have been busy practicing witchcraft and definitely have no time to practice swordsmanship. Come, let me test your swordsmanship level."
Looking at his brother Levi's smirk, Richard knew what his brother was thinking.
Richard smiled slightly and said, "Okay, brother, but the result may not be what you expected."
"Let me tell you in advance, you are not allowed to use any witchcraft. If you use witchcraft, I can't beat you." Brother Levi seemed to have thought of Richard's extraordinary strength after using witchcraft, and emphasized this sentence specially.
"Of course no problem!" Richard agreed immediately.
Stephanie, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh happily when she heard their conversation.
I didn't expect Richard to have such an interesting brother, and my master was quite bad, but he actually agreed to it.
Judging from the appearance of the master's brother, he is probably not even as strong as an intermediate knight. Practicing with the master would simply be asking for trouble.
The old baron and Knight Rawlins were also standing by, watching with interest the two brothers who were planning to compete.
The guards nearby, seeing their eldest and second young masters were going to compete, gathered around curiously, and whispered from time to time:
"Hey, who do you think will win in the competition between the eldest and second young masters?"
"It must be Master Richard. Didn't you see the previous battle? Master Richard's strength is like a god descending from heaven. He killed so many powerful monsters by himself!"
"That's true, but this time Master Levi said that Master Richard cannot use witchcraft, he can only use swordsmanship."
"That's true, but I still believe that Master Richard can win!"
"I think that if we only compare swordsmanship, Master Levi, the knight, will definitely be better at it. I have never heard of a wizard being good at swordsmanship, so I think Master Levi has a better chance of winning this competition."
"How about we make a bet?"
"Okay! Whoever loses will buy us a couple of drinks at the pub, how about that?"
"The tavern can open so soon? Wasn't it badly damaged?"
"Old Hunter said it should be open for business in the next two days. What do you think?"
"bet!"
Richard greeted his father and Knight Rawlins, then waved his hand, refusing the guards' help in putting on armor.
