Master Tongtian

Chapter 114 The key to upper class society (34)

One p.m.

‘Gulu~Gulu~~’

The carriage of the Jingshi Holy Church stopped at the door of Sunshine Villa.

Rosen jumped off the carriage, waved goodbye to Sharina, then took out the key, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

In the small courtyard, the gardener was weeding the garden, and the cleaning maid was washing clothes in the pool beside the courtyard wall. When they heard the movement at the door, they both looked up.

When he saw it was Rosen, he immediately saluted and called him "Mr. Rosen".

But the gardener was close and had sharp eyes, and he immediately saw the official mage emblem on Rosen's chest.

His expression suddenly shook, and his body that had just straightened up bent down again: "Master Rosen."

Being able to work as a gardener in the Green Leaf District, he naturally has some knowledge. He not only knows the official mage emblem, but also clearly understands the value of a young official mage.

To say it has a bright future is no exaggeration at all.

So he looked extremely humble, and he wanted to bend his head into the mud.

Rosen waved his hand: "Just keep busy and ignore me."

He strolled towards the stone house. As soon as he reached the door, before knocking on the door, the door opened automatically and a figure wearing a dark red dress came out.

It was Alice Thrandis.

Standing at the door, she gave Rosen a warm hug, hugging him tightly and not wanting to let go.

"My dearest apprentice, I didn't expect that you would go to the battlefield!"

"You're not hurt, are you?"

These days, news of the war spread all over the world, and it reached her ears during dinner last night, keeping her awake all night.

Rosen's body was held and he couldn't move. He could only shrug his shoulders slightly: "Teacher, if you hold on tighter, I might not be able to hold on anymore and get hurt."

"Hehe, it seems you are not injured, which is great."

Thrandis then let go of Rosen, took a step back and looked carefully, and saw the Mithril emblem shining brightly on his chest.

"Gold-rimmed mithril emblem, low-level divine seal mage~ My apprentice, no, I can't call you apprentice now, I have to call you Master Rosen instead."

"No, mentor, I will always be your apprentice."

"Ah~ This really makes me happy, but I still can't call you apprentice. After all, it coincides with the name of magic apprentice. Hmm~~ I have to change my name. Let me think about how to call you."

Thrandis pulled Rosen back to the living room. He wanted to sit down in the living room, but felt that the living room was not private enough, so he took him to the flower hall on the second floor.

After releasing a home protection spell to isolate the inside and outside, she and Rosen sat side by side on the thick leather bench: "My dearest... Ah, no, what should I call it?"

Rosen smiled and said, "Didn't you call me father before?"

Thrandis immediately called out, "Father, my daughter would like to know, what exactly did you go through on the battlefield that made you become an official mage all of a sudden?"

After saying that, he added: "It must be very dangerous and very difficult, right?"

In a private place, the passionate Alice no longer controlled her emotions. As she spoke, her body was close to Rosen and her head rested on his shoulder.

Naturally, Rosen would not hide anything. Except for the details of Ourekea's repayment, he told everything else.

After he finished speaking, Thrandis's eyes were blinking with tears.

"Oh, my dear father, is the outside world really worth your efforts? My daughter will almost never see you again."

In her excitement, she reached out and hugged Rosen, hugging his head tightly to her chest, as if she was worried that if she let go, Rosen would die in the wind.

Rosen felt Thrandis's heartfelt worries, and his cheek was close to his broad mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey~ No wonder people say that Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes. After returning from the war, your body and mind are exhausted, and you are in need of gentle caressing. If you come to this place, if you have a weak will, you will definitely be addicted and unable to extricate yourself."

However, he did need a good rest, and a mentor was the haven that soothed his tired soul.

So, he allowed his mentor to hug him without moving or speaking.

Thrandis seemed to feel something and asked softly: "My father is a hero who returned from the battlefield. Even if his body is not injured, his mind must be very tired, right?"

Rosen nodded slightly: "Too many lives have been lost on the battlefield, and the eyes are filled with endless pain and misery."

His current mind can naturally bear this, but every time he thinks about the bloody battlefield, he still feels very uncomfortable.

Thrandis lowered his head, gently rubbed Rosen's face with his smooth and soft face, and his delicate voice like a whisper echoed in the hall.

"Although I know that you have extraordinary memory, my daughter will still do her best to help you forget everything, even if it is only temporarily."

A woman's warm and gentle caressing is indeed a good medicine for healing spiritual trauma, and Rosen suddenly felt much more comfortable.

"My little sweetheart~I'm so touched~"

After a while, after the agitated moods of both parties calmed down and the mess on the thick leather bench had been cleaned up, Rosen opened the leather satchel and took out the documents inside one by one.

"Because I saved Uncle Shabolai and helped the legion defeat the ice dwarves. I had good military exploits. The earl made me a hereditary knight and gave me a piece of land. The location is about 15 miles away from the southern suburbs of Silver Moon Castle. No. Big, 300 Laban.”

300 acres, converted to earth terms, is about 8,000 acres of land, about the same as a very vast university campus.

Thrandis was surprised again: "So, my dear father, is he already a noble lord?"

The vast majority of knights are honorary titles, only a small number can obtain land, and an even smaller number can have hereditary qualifications.

Rosen immediately had a hereditary title and land. Although the area was not large, his status immediately opened up a huge gap with the common people.

Of course, there are also status gaps among nobles.

The size of the territory, whether it is rich, the number of citizens, whether the bloodline is ancient, whether it has the qualifications given by the gods, etc. are all the criteria for judging the status of the nobles.

Thrandis, for example, has a noble surname.

But strictly speaking, she should be called a noble child from a noble family. Since she does not have her own territory or title, her actual status cannot be different from that of wealthy commoners.

Of course, because she is still an official intermediate twelve-star mage, which is basically the same title as a knight, if her temper is not so withdrawn, she can get along very well.

Back to topic.

Rosen looked at the document in his hand, which recorded information on the territory.

"The territory is a fertile plain near Hongye Mountain, with a small river winding through it. There is a small village called 'Philander', with a total of 367 villagers, who jointly cultivate about 200 acres of farmland, using the three-three method "Shifting Cultivation"

After reading it, he said: "Because the village is called Philander, Philander became my last name, and because I have a title, my full name is Rosen de Philander."

In this world, the social status of divine seal mage, official mage, and knight is almost the same, but there are still subtle differences.

Simply put, it is a matter of ‘scope of application’.

The Seal of God is a title in the golden church system, which means it has received preliminary approval from God and is generally given to mid-level clergy.

Being a formal mage is the only way to enter the upper echelon of the mage circle. Without this status, you will not be able to hold your head up even when you see an official mage.

Jazz means the secular aristocracy, which has a high weight in the hearts of the general public and is usually the threshold for entering the lord's government system.

Senior political officials in big cities all hold knighthoods, which is somewhat similar to the ancient qualifications for Jinshi.

Now, Rosen's identity is 'Official Divine Seal Master Sir Philander', which means he has the entry key to every area of ​​Silver Moon Castle's upper society.

Back to topic.

Thrandis immediately shouted sweetly: "Ah~ My father is Sir Philander. Then should my daughter be renamed Alice Philander to completely distinguish her from Anna?"

She thought about it seriously.

Rosen was very used to Alice's freedom and said with a smile, "As long as my little sweetheart is happy."

"Okay, it's decided, my name will be Alice Philander from now on."

Rosen thought she was joking and continued the introduction.

"I have estimated that this territory can only bring me less than 500 kronor in income at most a year. This must be managed carefully and the income of the residents must be deducted as much as possible."

"But I don't want to be a harsh lord, so my expected income is 200 crowns a year."

He wants to learn magic, but he doesn't have time to take care of it, so the income from the territory will definitely not be too high.

Having said that, taking care of 8,000 acres of land will not produce anything big, but it will involve a huge amount of energy.

Alice immediately suggested: "Father can ask a housekeeper to help take care of it."

"As far as my daughter knows, there are many such professional housekeepers in every city. Their annual annuity does not exceed 50 kronor, but they can manage the territory in an orderly manner, avoid trouble, and slightly increase their income."

"Well, that's a good idea. Then I'll find a butler."

The matter of the territory was like that for the time being, and he couldn't spend too much thought on it.

When I usually stay, I will always stay in Sunshine Villa instead of my own territory, because that place is too far away from the city and it is inconvenient to do anything.

Finally, Rosen took out the two spell books given by the count.

Thrandis took one look and was shocked, and the casual look on his face completely disappeared.

"Prepare to cast, constant focus ring, these are the Count's famous stunts!"

Rosen naturally knew that this thing was a good thing, but he didn't know how good it was. Looking at the instructor's look, he seemed to know the details, so he asked, "How good is it?"

"Prepare to cast. Through unique spell casting techniques, you can release half of up to five spells in advance and keep them constant. When necessary, you can flexibly choose to burst one or several spells, or even burst them all together to achieve the strongest attack effect."

As soon as Rosen heard it, he knew that this was a powerful thing. It could greatly improve a mage's adaptability and spell explosive power. It was indeed a unique skill for killing people and stealing goods.

"Constant focus ring, a constant focus ring on the wrist. The mana that passes through the focus ring will greatly increase the mana intensity, thus greatly increasing the power of the next three spells released."

"Significant improvement, how significant is it?"

"I don't know the exact value, but it is said that it is increased by a percentage, at least above 40%, and it has a wide range of applications, from low-level to high-level."

Rosen took a breath: "It is indeed a famous stunt!"

The count gave him these two stunts. Maybe what she taught was not the most powerful version, but it was enough to improve Rosen's combat effectiveness to a big level.

He thought to himself: 'Hmm~~ It seems that the earl really values ​​me. ’

But he still felt there were some shortcomings, so he asked: "Can these two spells be used together?"

If you can cooperate, that is a magical skill!

Thrandis shook his head: "It seems impossible, because the count has never done this. But whether it is possible, we will know after research."

The two began to detail the contents of the spell book.

After half an hour, the conclusion was reached.

Thrandis shook his head: "It doesn't seem possible."

Rosen discovered a possible opportunity: "If we use upper-level numbers, there seems to be a possibility of fusion."

Thrandis raised his eyebrows, and after thinking carefully, nodded: "It's true."

Then there is something to do next.

Rosen said: "Sweetheart, the last time you left in a hurry, the research on Shuu Shu was suddenly interrupted. Let's start again?"

Thrandis smiled: "Father, my daughter has been waiting for your words!"
