Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 98: Forestry supervisor

Views:

Madam Maria has returned to the capital, and Claude's life should return to what it was before, going home after school and staying in the attic. But before she left, Mrs. Maria entrusted the forest farm to Claude for guarding. Even the forest guards, Mr. Xioli and his wife, had to obey Claude's instructions. After thinking about it, Claude decided to go home and tell his parents first so as not to worry them.

There are two horses in the stable, one is an old horse with a gentle personality, and his name is Tony. The other horse is a big black horse, that is, the strong black horse that was frightened on the mountain road and pulled the carriage almost to the foot of the mountain. His name is Black Jamie. Because of the horse-frightening accident for which no cause was found, he was abandoned by Lutheran's housekeeper and left in the forest farm.

There were two carriages placed outside the stable, one was a flatbed type with no cover on top. This old carriage is usually used by the forester Sioli and his wife to pull the old horse Tony to the town for business.

The other was a coincidental two-person carriage. Although this carriage had carriages, it had front and back entrances and exits. It was the carriage that Lady Maria was riding in when Claude first met her. It was the carriage that Lutheran, the housekeeper, went to town on. A cart used to buy food at the old tavern. Madame Marie sometimes used this carriage when she went to town to keep a low profile. Now the carriage is owned by Claude.

Claude originally wanted to ride the black horse Jamie home, but after thinking about it, he needed to bring some clothes and supplies from home, so he hitched the black horse Jamie to the clever carriage and told the ranger Sioli In one sentence, he drove the carriage home.

The only ones at home were my mother, brother Booker, and the snow dog. I hadn’t seen Claude for more than half a month. Fatty’s Cola was broken, so I pestered Claude to play with him all morning until lunch. Later, he went to take a nap before letting Claude go. After briefly talking to his mother about his life in the forest farm during this period, Claude returned to his attic and began to sort out the things he wanted to bring there.

Apart from a few pieces of clothing and some daily necessities such as towels and cups, Claude didn't have many things to take away. Of course, he would take away the diary, notebook, stone spirit box, and bag of Sullivan gold coins related to Master Landers. He originally hid these things under the bed, but he was worried that he would not live in the attic in the future. If his mother came up on a whim to do some cleaning, it would be terrible and he would have to rack his brains to think of excuses. It's better to come here to deal with it, it's better to take it away.

By the way, we also need to take away the three magic items taken from Valkuri's shop. Claude smacked his lips and felt a little regretful. If he had known better, he would have taken these three items to the forest farm to show Madam Maria what kind of magic items they were. Unfortunately, now that Madam Maria has left, these three things can only be left to ponder over by oneself.

Claude quickly packed a big bag and collected the things he wanted to take away, then took them downstairs and put them in the dining room. He decided to go back to the forest farm after dinner in the evening, and he would start directly from the forest farm to go to school tomorrow. Go to school, and then go directly back to the forest farm after school. After all, Mrs. Maria entrusted him with the task of guarding the forest farm, so it was his duty to go to the forest farm for inspection every day after school.

Then Claude drove the carriage out again and went to the feed store in the outdoor market to buy some oats and black beans to feed the black horse Jamie. He chatted with the owner of the feed store and ended up spending money to buy some eggs. Mix it in black beans and feed it to your horse. After Black Jamie had eaten and drank enough, Claude took him to the well to wash him off before driving the carriage home.

Mr. Morsan came home from get off work on time in the evening, and he didn't say anything when he saw Claude's big bag in the restaurant. Just when Claude was about to tell him that he would live in a forest farm in the future, Mr. Morsan waved his hand and called Claude to him.

"I know your story," said Mr. Morsan.

Claude was confused. You knew it before I said anything. What do you know? Fortunately, Mr. Morsan's next words answered his question very well.

"Mrs. Maria wrote me a letter this morning. She told me that she was going back to the royal capital. However, she was very satisfied with your caretaker work. In view of the old age and frailty of the rangers Sioli and his wife, she decided I will continue to employ you as the guard of the forest farm, with a monthly salary of three silver thalers."

Mr. Morsan paused for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile: "Back then, I had to be promoted to administrative supervisor to reach a salary of three silver thalers per month. You kid, you have this before you even graduated from junior high school.
