After lunch.
Maggie was diligently responsible for clearing the plates, her thin body was as busy as an elf.
"Let me come, Maggie, you go to take a nap, and you have to train with Lord Roma in the afternoon, remember to perform well in the training class." Mrs. Harriet likes little Maggie very much. She has no daughter and sincerely treats her Little Maggie, who is boarding at home, is her own daughter.
Because Mrs. Harriet spoke too fast, Maggie could only understand a few sentences such as "Take a Nap", "Lord Roma", and "Training".
But she was very smart, and guessed what Mrs. Harriet meant, and hurriedly replied in snake script: "Master Roma's training is easy, Maggie is happy, three meals! Flower Town, great!"
Talking and gestures, so that the communication can be completed smoothly.
Mrs. Harriet smiled, her eyes misty: "The Flower Town was not like this before. At that time, we could only eat two meals a day. In winter, we only ate one meal a day. It was the lord who brought everything. Make Flower Town great, now we can all eat three meals a day."
In an era when supplies were scarce, two meals a day was the mainstream for commoners, while three meals a day was standard for nobles.
When Maggie was in the Eagle Kingdom, she lived in the countryside and ate two meals a day with her family. After coming to Huahua Town, being able to eat three meals a day is already a great happiness.
She is still young and has not been assigned farm work. All she needs to do every day is to attend training classes and female red classes. In the training class, some hard-working fists and kicks are taught, and in the female red class, dyers and spinners among serfs are invited to teach the skills of printing, dyeing and weaving.
Maggie studied hard.
Because she knows that skills are very precious. In her hometown, it takes a lot of money to learn a skill before someone is willing to teach it.
Compared with the illusory prospect of building up strength and fighting spirit, she would rather become a spinner.
When she finished her girl class and returned to the boarding house of Mrs. Harriet, dinner was just about to start. It's just that compared with the past, the atmosphere at home seems a bit serious.
Harriet's husband sat on the bench with a solemn expression.
Mrs. Harriet's separated son and daughter-in-law also rushed over.
It wasn't until the bread and seafood were brought to the table that Maggie learned what day it was through the gestures of Harriet's daughter-in-law—the memorial day of Harriet's daughter.
Harriet and his wife once had a young daughter, but she got sick in winter and couldn't eat enough to eat, so she died three years ago. When he died, he was only a little older than Maggie.
This is also the reason why Harriet and his wife are willing to take Maggie to board.
On the second day, Harriet and his wife even invited Master Grandet from the town to their home. With the help of Grandet, communicate with Maggie: "Maggie, Mrs. Harriet, I hope to form a contract mother and daughter with you."
"ah… "
Maggie was caught off guard, hesitated and didn't know how to get back.
Old Grandet said gently: "The past has already happened, so don't think too much about it. Now that you come to Huahua Town, your family members are all dead. Why don't you form a mother-daughter contract with Mrs. Harriet, so that you can take care of me more conveniently. They can also help you redeem the serf contract and restore your status as a free citizen."
This is great news.
Harriet's family runs a grocery store in the town, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. They belong to a wealthy group of people. Being able to form a contract with them, Maggie knew that she would have a bright future.
But for some reason, she vaguely resisted: "Master Grandet, I have relatives... I also have a sister."
Old Grandet frowned. He checked Maggie's identity information, but he didn't find any relatives of her among the serfs. According to Maggie's own account, her parents were killed by mercenaries.
"You have another sister? Where is she? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I... my sister left home several years ago, and she said that when she learned magic, she would come back to me... my sister will come back to me."
Learn magic
Could it be that he was chosen by a certain Mr. Truth to become a magic apprentice
This idea flashed by, but old Grandet didn't pay attention to it. Even if Maggie's sister became a magician, it would be almost impossible to find her sister on the coral island, which is not far away.
Besides.
Maybe he died in an explosion a long time ago. In the magician industry, the probability of explosion is quite high.
He just thought Maggie was a little thin-skinned and embarrassed, so he asked her to think about it for a few days. Harriet and his wife didn't mention it again, and continued to maintain the previous atmosphere.
It's just that Maggie couldn't be calm for a long time.
…
at the same time.
In the Eagle Kingdom thousands of miles away, the war continues.
The Kingdom of Iron Ridge invaded aggressively, the Kingdom of Eagle was forced to resist, and the Dragon Knights roamed around to support the battlefield. On the other side, in the hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom, the army of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, like locusts crossing the border, desperately searched the castles on the coastline and plundered all kinds of wealth and minerals.
Against the background of the war, a warship flying a red tulip flag slowly approached the port. The red tulip flag is also hung on the lighthouse in the port.
Needless to say.
This is naturally the bridgehead occupied by the Tulip family on the coastline of the Eagle Kingdom.
There have long been servants of the Tulip family who joined the servants of the fleet to sort out the goods, all of which are special products of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. While fighting and robbing, trade and smuggle at the same time, without delay. The entire harbor is full of busy people loading, unloading and transporting goods, running non-stop.
"Is this the Tulip family's ship?" In a dilapidated tavern at the pier, a female mercenary wearing a face scarf held a wine glass and looked out the window, asking.
She spoke the wind language.
Opposite her, there was a guy with sly eyebrows and mischievous eyes. He greedily glanced at the female mercenary's chest swollen by the leather armor, and replied obscenely: "Of course, this pier and most of the surrounding castles have been destroyed by the waves." Juggernaut Li William occupies, and the red tulip has become the nightmare of many nobles."
"William Lee's fleet has been engaged in slave trade?"
"Hey, the Sapphire people are a group of serf traders, it would be strange not to trade slaves."
"When will the fleet return?"
"It depends on how fast your mercenaries capture the serfs. If the speed is fast, maybe you can sell a batch of serfs back this month."
"Your reward." The female mercenary lightly flicked her fingers in the air, and a gleaming silver coin flew into the air in a whirl, and then landed on the table.
She got up and left without looking back.
The sly-eyed guy stretched out his hand to hold down the silver coin, licked his lips, picked it up greedily, held it in the palm of his hand, and smiled brightly: "My lord mercenary, if you need any news, just come to the Old Ford Tavern to find it." I have three golden ears... Hey, why did the person disappear all of a sudden?"
When he looked up, there was still that female mercenary in the tavern.
But he didn't care, he touched the silver coin in his palm proudly, and he could earn a silver coin with a few words, this business insisted on it.
