Link was planning to set off early the next morning, but something that happened in the early morning interrupted his plan.
His cheap dad, at 4 o'clock in the morning, swallowed his last breath, and hung up tactfully. Anyway, this physical identity is his own son. At this moment, Link really can't escape.
Sending letters in this era is not very safe, there is no other way, the matter of informing the black moon plan can only be postponed for a few days, fortunately, this matter should finally break out on April 15th, and there should be a delay of a few days.
At six o'clock in the morning, the death knell of Fugu County rang, and the sound of 'Dang~', 'Dang~', 'Dang~' spread throughout the town. This voice announced the death of the old viscount, and at the same time meant the automatic succession of the new generation of viscounts.
The same thing has happened more than a dozen times in Pufferfish County, but this time is the most special. Along with the bell, there is news of the old Viscount's youngest son, Link.
In fact, almost no one in Fugu County paid attention to the death of the old Viscount. This happened too many times. The old Viscount was old, and he was going to die when he was old. Everyone was discussing the attack on the Moraine family castle last night.
The streets and alleys are talking about it.
"Have you heard? The Molaini family was revenged by their enemies. They came to their door and killed a lot of people!" The speaker was excited. Anyway, no one died in his family, so this is an interesting event for him. something new.
Someone next to him joked: "Of course I know, the youngest son of the Glenn family was killed, but their family has made a fortune!"
"What big fortune? Can a person get rich after death?" Someone asked strangely.
"Don't you know? The viscount gave a pension, and each soldier's family gave a pension of 20 gold coins. Jacob's family has 4 sons, and two sons are working in the castle. As a result, it was all over last night, and Jacob's family got 40 gold coins." Gold coins. And I heard that the money was all paid by Master Link."
"Link? Is it the third son of the lord who can't fart?" This is really shocking.
"It's him, he is a distinguished magician now, very powerful, and he spends a lot of money!"
"..."
This kind of voice is everywhere in the streets and alleys. No matter what everyone says, the focus will be on the fact that Link is rich.
No way, Fugu County is poor, the lord is poor, and the people are even poorer!
Here, many people have never seen the appearance of gold coins in their entire lives, and now someone has received a full 40 gold coins as a pension because of the death of their family members. Everyone who heard the news was full of blood, wishing that someone in their own family would die first .
People are poor and short-sighted, and human life is as cheap as worthless.
This matter spread like this, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became, and there were countless versions later, one of which said: "The power of the magician Link can move mountains and seas, and at the same time he can turn stones into gold. There are too many gold coins to count. '
As for the news of the old Viscount's death, who cares about that shit.
This is the situation in the county. Anyway, Link, who was originally unknown in the county, has completely become famous, and all the fathers and villagers know him.
In the castle, Link and his two brothers are planning the funeral of their old father.
What Link did was to pay. After he took out 4,000 gold coins before, there were more than 1,300 gold coins left. At the same time, there were 1,600 gold coins in the space bracelet of the dark elf magician Parson. Combined, there were another 2,900 gold coins. Link took out 500 coins for the funeral.
It was the uncle who paid the money, Link did the most important things, and other trivial matters were naturally planned by Wharton and Clyde, and the mother and sister also helped to arrange them, while Link was relaxed.
There are often turmoil in the world of Ferroman, and human lives are like grass, so even the funerals of nobles are very simple. It only takes one and a half days to bury the corpse for one day and half a day for burial.
During this period of time, with nothing to do, Link has been nestling in the cheap old father's study before his death and continued to learn magic knowledge.
He mainly studied Bryant's revelation scroll. When he felt inspired, he deduced the thesis. When he was really tired, he drew a sketch of the magic bracelet.
The woman in the black dress... Oh no, it was Enolly who helped him a lot. This bracelet is going to put some effort into it, at least it can't be worse than the previous phoenix bracelet.
If he gets tired of doing these three things again, Link will take out the 'white stone' given to him by the high elf prince to play with.
Although I can't see the function of this thing, the stone is smooth and moist to the touch, and it feels very good in the hand. Link doesn't force it, and treats it as an ordinary plaything.
Just like that, the day ended quickly, and in the evening, the servant came to deliver the message, but it was time for dinner.
On this day, the people at the table were exactly the same as yesterday, and Wharton also came. Although he was seriously injured yesterday, he is a level 4 fighter with strong vitality and he is treated by a priest, so he can move around freely now.
At this time, Wharton didn't still have the arrogant and domineering arrogance of yesterday. When he saw Link, he had a smile on his face before he could speak. Looking at his knees, they were trembling and weak, as if the injury hadn't healed yet. through.
Facing Wharton like this, Lilith and Molly would not be afraid. During the dinner, both of them looked very relaxed, and they no longer looked trembling like yesterday.
During the dinner.
Clyde took out 300 gold coins and pushed them to Link: "These are the leftover gold coins. We spent a total of 3,700 gold coins on pensions and repairs to the castle."
This is 300 gold coins, and the purse is bulging. Wharton beside him is obviously eating his favorite pigeon meat, but he is unwilling to eat. His eyes are only looking at the purse, wishing to take the gold coins inside as his own. .
But he didn't dare to move, because his third brother was sitting beside him.
Link didn't go to pick up the money bag. He flicked his fingers, activated the hand of the mage, added 200 gold coins to the money bag, made up 500 coins, and then moved the money bag back to Clyde: "Two Brother, you keep this money, how could you be short of money when you were with those brothers and fellow robes in Silver Fortress?"
Clyde is a man with a good personality and can take care of the overall situation of the family. He is still his second brother in blood, a blood brother, and he is absolutely trustworthy. Moreover, Clyde is very bold and capable. The mess was unsatisfactory, probably because the money was too tight and the heroism was short.
That being the case, Link has no reason not to support him.
The Lord of Glory asked him to save the world. This matter is too grand, and it makes people feel excited when they hear it. But Link is a rational and calm magician. He knows very well that in order to truly change the world, it is useless to shout slogans, and he must be down-to-earth.
This kind of thing can never be done by him alone, so what he can do is to manage his own reputation, give it to everyone he can make friends with, and gather as much strength as possible. This is the principle of life after he came to this world.
In fact, he chose Field Wilderness as his fiefdom for this purpose. As long as he manages the wasteland into a city, he will gain a huge reputation. speed will increase rapidly.
Back to business.
Clyde is also a cheerful person, and he took back the money bag happily after hearing the words: "Haha, the third brother is really happy, and the second brother is very grateful!"
To be honest, his pocket is almost clean, and there are less than 10 gold coins left. When he goes out to drink and eat wild food with his brothers on weekdays, he has to guess and spend money, which is very unpleasant. Link's 500 gold coins Gold coins really solved his urgent needs.
Seeing this made Wharton even more envious. He couldn't help it, and asked tentatively, "Third Brother, I heard that you can turn stones into alchemy?"
Link didn't know what Wharton was thinking, shook his head, and said dryly: "I won't."
Although Wharton is also his brother, this person has a bad personality, is too selfish, and has a strong desire to control. This kind of person cannot be handed over. Because he is a brother, Link can't do anything to him, but he can choose to stay away!
His attitude almost suffocated Wharton to death.
Link ignored him and continued, "Tomorrow is my father's funeral. After the funeral, I will go back to East Valley Academy of Magic. Mother, sister, you can go back with me."
The two women were able to escape from Wharton's control, and they were naturally overjoyed, and they both nodded in response.
Wharton didn't expect Link to leave in such a hurry. He hasn't gotten some gold coins from this rich and oily younger brother. Let's talk about it later?"
"No." Link simply refused, once again choking Wharton speechless.
After a while, Link said to Clyde again: "Second brother, my territory is in the Field Wilderness, not too far from here, I welcome you as a guest anytime."
"Field Wilderness? That's no problem. I'll come as soon as I'm free. Don't bother me then." Clyde laughed loudly. Although the wilderness was a bit barren, his younger brother was a cheerful person. Fuck him It's much happier there than staying in this stuffy family castle and watching Wharton's face.
Wharton finally couldn't hold back his anger, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, that's just a wasteland without a single tree. I thought it was a good place."
Link turned to look at him, and said seriously, "It's indeed a wasteland now, but it won't be in three years' time."
The mining of anti-magic clay, magical transformation of the climate, and development of the ocean, after a few years, he will definitely manage the Field Wilderness into a land of miracles.
Link's voice was very soft, but the content was extremely arrogant. If it was yesterday, Wharton would definitely ridicule wantonly, but now, he is speechless. The ability of this third brother has completely exceeded his imagination. Know what he will do.
Clyde on the side heard this, and was also a little worried for Link: "Third brother, I believe in your ability, but building a brand new territory will cost a lot of gold coins, can it work?"
Link nodded: "It should be fine."
He had already thought about it, he first established a foothold in the wilderness, and built a batch of framework infrastructure. These are the initial investment, 40,000 gold coins should be about the same, and then he started mining anti-magic clay, and waited for the clay to burn paper. Once the anti-magic bricks become famous, the economy in the territory will start to take off. At this time, his territory can be truly expanded.
Therefore, in the first step, he has to earn 40,000 gold coins.
'When I return to the Magic Academy, I have to spend some time making money. ' Link thought to himself.
