After all, Old Ham did not survive the day when Green married his mother-in-law and gave birth to a baby, and he died.
It was the beginning of spring, and the biting cold wind had begun to soften. After finishing the day's work, Old Ham and Green bought a small barrel of ale from the town, cut a few kilograms of meat, and prepared to start renovating the house tomorrow and give it to Green. Finding a mother-in-law is also on the agenda.
Unfortunately, Old Ham was unable to get Green up to do his work the next morning.
Old Ham left with a smile. I don’t know whether it was because of the good wine and meat the night before, or because all his wishes in his dream came true. Anyway, he was still smiling until Green hired several farmers to bury Old Ham. , as free and easy as usual.
The cigarette rod that Old Ham cherished most was also buried by Green.
Old Ham's sudden departure made Green feel lost for a long time, but he still lived his life.
Green became the owner of these two huts, as well as an old horse, two gold coins, and seventeen silver coins. This was Old Ham's life savings, which now belong to Green, and are all Green's current property.
Of course, Green secretly hid the witchcraft book "Nose Hunting Transformation and Scent Atlas" where the gold coins were stored, and read it once or twice every night without consuming too much lamp oil.
This is Green's peek through a crack in the door to the wizarding world.
Gradually, summer has arrived.
It was still an ordinary day. After a busy morning, Green dumped a large amount of garbage outside the city that was left over from the aristocratic party in the Viscount's Mansion last night. Then he came to the Viscount's territory and took away from these servants what he had prepared for the Viscount today. supplies.
Green sat in the carriage and looked at the blue sky and white clouds happily.
Next to the carriage, a country girl named Mary loaded goods with dexterous hands and feet, which she could do better than ordinary boys.
Mary wore a linen apron, had a lot of freckles on her face, and had golden hair. Her heart was beating hard. From time to time, she peeked at Green, who was sitting comfortably in the carriage.
Looking at this handsome man, Mary liked it very much. She smelled his unique smell, which was like the fragrance of orchids.
Green ignored Mary.
By chance a year ago, Green knew that this girl liked him. Old Ham secretly told Green that Old Ham's plan was for Green to marry this girl as his mother-in-law.
But without saying anything, I had to admit in my heart that I really didn't have any feelings for this diligent and shy girl. At most, she was just the little girl next door.
So after Old Ham left, Green never took the initiative to contact the girl, and only saw her once a day when loading goods.
Seeing that Green was silent, 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. 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 sitting bored in the carriage, suddenly became energetic when he heard the word wizard, and said in disbelief: "Wizard? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, many people here have seen it."
Seeing Green talking to him, Mary responded happily.
Green said excitedly: "What does the wizard look like?"
Green asked, having never seen a wizard before.
"Well... The wizard was wearing a large gray robe and a tall hat on his head. His face could not be seen clearly, as if it was covered with a layer of fog. He was also holding a frog with red eyes in his hand. Yes. Yes, he was talking to Imma at the head of the village."
Seeing Green's excitement, 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 had a clue about the real wizard.
He quickly ran to Imma's house at the head of the village.
Imma is a young woman in her mid-twenties, but her figure has become bloated. She wears a white apron around her bucket-like waist. She is already the mother of two children.
The male owner is a hunter named Sogara. He is strong and has a very forthright personality. There is a scar on the left side of his face that was scratched by a porcupine's tusks.
When Sogara saw Green arriving, he was very surprised and said: "Hey, Green is here, haha, are you attracted by the smell here? Come on, come on, this is the game caught in the mountains to the east yesterday..."
In the kitchen, Imma walked out, and two children looked at Green curiously.
Half an hour later.
Green left Emma's house excitedly, muttering excitedly: "Bissell City, I really went to Bissel City!"
Green drove the carriage towards the city in a furious manner. The old horse trotted all the way, fearing that it would die prematurely and follow Old Ham into the ground.
At the door of the Viscount's Mansion, behind the arrogant old butler stood four tall knights, blocking the door.
The old butler's eyes were stern as he looked at the dozen farmers surrounding the door of the Viscount's Mansion and roared: "Your land was given by the Viscount. The Viscount can tax whatever he wants. Do you want to rebel? Let me tell you... "
Green waited anxiously in the distance.
Basically every year at this time, a large number of farmers would block the door of the Viscount's Mansion and cause trouble. After being cleaned up by these high-horse knights, the farmers dispersed. It's just that the process took some time.
"Untouchable! Untouchable! How dare you talk back!"
The old housekeeper roared: "Kick you away!"
It took only a short moment for the four tall knights to drive away more than a dozen farmers with punches and kicks.
The old housekeeper was very angry, blowing his beard and staring.
Green did not dare to delay and drove the carriage into the Viscount's Mansion in a low-key manner. The old butler roared: "Stop!"
After glancing at Green and casually flipping through the goods on Green's carriage, the old butler scolded: "Why are you so slow? Do you still want to do it?"
Green grinned, feeling already filled with anger.
This old guy has already collected two silver coins from himself as a benefit fee this month. He can only get four silver coins after working in the Viscount Mansion for a month. Although the salary is high, he can't help but take advantage of this old guy.
"Master Butler, the younger one was here before, but he didn't go in because the farmers were blocking the way."
Green is young and energetic, but he is not Old Ham, and he does not have such a good temper.
Suddenly, the old housekeeper seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, his hair almost stood on end, his face turned red and he pointed at Green's nose and roared.
"Asshole! How dare you, a pariah, talk back? It seems that the Viscount has raised you all in vain! Okay! Okay... I won't come here tomorrow, get out of here!"
After saying that, the old butler angrily entered the yard and shouted to the knights beside him: "If this untouchable comes again tomorrow, break his legs for me, or you won't be able to use them anymore."
Green stood beside the carriage, mad with anger, cursing the old guy in his heart to go see Old Ham tomorrow.
Suddenly, Green thought of something. After snorting, he parked the carriage under a big tree not far away and ran to a blacksmith shop in the small town.
"Hey, Sixth Brother."
Green greeted a blacksmith apprentice.
When Green was still begging in Bissel City, there were always nine beggars begging together, and Green was the eighth.
Afterwards, there were opportunities, and Green was taken away by Old Ham. The sixth child entered the blacksmith shop as an apprentice, and the second child was said to have gone to the countryside to work as a servant. As for the others, there was no news.
"Laoba!"
When the blacksmith apprentice saw Green, his eyes lit up, he strode over and patted Green: "Why do you come to me here when you have time?"
Standing over 1.8 meters tall, he smelled of sweat and masculinity. Now Lao Liu was much stronger than Green. He had a beard and his cheeks were red from being roasted by the stove all year round. His rough hands patted Green. It hurts.
"Brother Six, I want to ask you something. I heard that a wizard came to the city?"
Green asked in a low voice, and Lao Liu's expression changed.
"How do you know? A wizard is indeed here. It is said that he is here to recruit students with wizard qualifications, but it costs a gold coin to verify whether he has wizard apprentice qualifications."
As he spoke, Lao Liu quietly pursed his lips behind him, pointed at the old blacksmith and said, "The old man also took his son Ayi with him. He has no wizard qualifications, and now he is still worried about that gold coin."
Green was surprised and asked: "Where is the wizard?"
Lao Liu's expression changed, and he looked at Green in shock: "You don't want to go, do you? One gold coin is not a small expense, and we don't have that much money to waste."
Green hesitated for a moment.
If he really loses one gold coin, it will indeed be a big blow to Green, who only has more than two gold coins.
However, if we lose this opportunity, we may never have such an opportunity again...
Finally, Green nodded firmly.
After being shocked for a long time, Lao Liu said: "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 also the only one in Bissel City."
"Thank you, Sixth Brother."
Green was so excited that he even forgot about the unpleasant things that happened to the old butler at the viscount's house, and his mind was filled with things about wizards.
Green ran desperately to his two small huts and pulled out a box from the most secret place, which contained a large amount of silver and copper coins.
"You must become a wizard! You must!"
After counting out one hundred silver coins, after thinking for a while, Green took the magic and witchcraft book "Nose Hunting Transformation and Scent Atlas" with him, hid the box, and Green ran towards Bissel City again.
Since it was already summer, the days were long and the nights were short, so luckily it didn't get dark.
The Lord of the City is the most noble nobleman in Bissel City, and it is said that he is the only Marquis in this area.
Unless you go to other urban areas, in the Bissel area, the city lord is the most powerful noble, 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, this place was heavily guarded and guarded by seven or eight knights. But now, there are many people coming in and out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Green took a quick look and saw that most of the people coming in and out were shop owners or nobles in the city, accompanied by their juniors, and they often had disappointed expressions.
Green knew that the wizard was inside, so he rushed in without caring about anything else.
"Stop and pay the fee of one gold coin."
At this time, a boy about the same age as Green yelled at Green.
Green gave the man a small bag of silver coins in pain. The man glanced at Green with disdain and threw the small bag of silver coins into the box behind him without even counting them.
Green was stunned for a moment. Judging from the man's temperament and appearance, he looked like a farmer's son. He must have had some great luck. He didn't know where that arrogance came from.
With the same disdainful glance at this man, Green followed the crowd in front and entered the City Lord's Mansion.
