Chapter 454: Traveling Mage

…… For this kind of guy who puts on a face of "I know what it is, and I will use a black smile and color to indicate that it is related to you, but I just don't tell you", Lu Xi said that he did not kill him on the spot, and he was already too self-contained.

But even this kind of guy who was eager to kill him on the spot, Lu Xi had to politely invite Uncle Seaweed, Uncle Seaweed's two entourage, and the Governor of Moore, who came with them to have dinner together. No matter how disgusted they are, even if they know that as the leader and general backstage of the corrupt officials of the Federation Gate, the helmsman of this family must be a bad guy with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet, but Father Seaweed and Uncle Seaweed have always been polite to Lu Xi. This time, Uncle Seaweed even brought the promotion documents and medals issued by the central government, and in the ancient times of Lu Xi's hometown, he was an angel who gave orders on behalf of the heavens. Even as the most basic etiquette, Lu Xi must pinch his nose and entertain this group of uninvited guests with the highest specifications.

Fortunately, Lu Xi, who has practiced as a director, has long been handy with this kind of smiling entertainment, and under his business smile, a meal can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts. At least there was nothing to do about not coming off the stage, and on the surface, everyone should be very happy. At the dinner table, the county magistrate of Moore County also took the opportunity to inform Lu Xi that since Lu Xi had helped the county eliminate several waves of bandits who had entered the local airspace during this time, he was going to issue a complaint and bonus to Lu Xi on behalf of the county office, and this time he accompanied Uncle Seaweed over for this purpose.

Although this guy looks like a typical corrupt official with a fat brain, he is a person who knows the opportunity. understands that the feeling of "Mooreshire Favorability +2" and the bonus of 200 gold mila brought by him are naturally completely different from the promotion of stars and ranks to medals by the central government. Therefore, he will not mention this stubble to the other party in a very formal occasion in public. Because if so, no matter how humble he is, there will always be a taste of condescending grace. However, if you casually mention it at the dinner table in a casual way similar to small talk, the effect will naturally be very different.

This Mr. County Shou may be a greedy and shameless guy who drinks too much, but at least he is quite good at dealing with people, Lu Xi admits that he does underestimate the other party, but he is still not ready to bother to remember the other party's name and appearance.

All in all, after the "guests and hosts enjoyed themselves", this group of uninvited guests did not linger without interest. Uncle Norweed and his entourage only stayed in the castle rooms for one night. The next day, he got up and said goodbye, and before leaving, he pretended to pat Lu Xi's shoulder intimately, and left a very affectionate and very ** smile that made him very very painful.

"By the way, the second uncle of the seaweed head family can't actually be an old glass, right?" Looking at the floating boat that the other party was riding in the distance, Lu Xi asked the spirit old butler who went to the port with him to send off people in a very frightened tone.

"Lao Yu has indeed heard similar rumors, the second brother of the head of the Wilambat family, it is said that he also has the nickname of Purple Cobra, and is a very famous bisexual. The little young master is such a talent, and it is normal for him to make such associations. The old butler smiled and said, "But what." I thought you were completely different this time? ”

"Yes. At this age, you can't be wrong to look at people's eyes. Little Master, Aemon? Master Wilambat has indeed come with sincerity and goodwill to make friends with you. Of course, this friendship must have its purpose and utilitarianism, but I am sure you can see it as well. But in any case, the Violet Family's kindness to you now should be solid. So. The old man could have guessed what this letter from Master Turner's own surgery was about. ”

"What are you talking about?" Lu Xi asked in an almost reflexive tone.

"Huh, Aemon? Master Wilambart has a saying that is true. You really don't have the right to watch this letter until the master returns, so let the old coffee keep it. The old housekeeper smiled slightly, he didn't answer Lu Xi's words again, and just walked away with the important letter sent by Uncle Seaweed. It is estimated that it is going to be locked in the safe, the thing full of all kinds of demonic mechanisms of madness, except for Orucello himself, only the old butler of the spirit has the key. Lu Xi was able to enter classified locations such as the Orucello Library, the Real Room, and the Treasure Vault at will, but he never had a chance to see what was in the safe - could it be the black history of Orucello's secondary two diaries and love letters when he was young?

In short, by the time Uncle Seaweed and his party were sent away, it was already after 10 o'clock in the morning. Lu Xi, who was not going to go back to the castle for lunch, simply walked around the village, and after completing an E-class task of helping the "neighbor's little girl find the missing kitten", he saw that the time was almost up, and simply walked towards Uncle Locke's tavern.

The most important thing for lunch is that it must be sufficient, nutritious and full of food, and in this regard, Uncle Locke's lunch set has always surprised himself.

Walking along the stone path that runs through the village to the castle on the top of the hill to the square in the village, Uncle Locke's tavern is in front, at this time, Lu Xi heard a slightly feminine but still very pleasant man's voice from behind him: "I'm sorry, the lord in front...... Excuse me, are you a magician? ”

Lu Xi turned his head, and what caught his eye was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old. He is not tall, but his body is very straight, so he gives people a sense of standing tall and majestic, with blue-gray hair, a short beard and beard, and a pair of dark green eyes that look very energetic, and looks like he has both intellectual calmness and elegance, as well as obvious vitality and health. He was dressed in a somewhat old, whitish-washed, but very neat traveler's robe, and carried a long cane in his hand, but he did not know whether it was a whistle stick or a crutch. The most dangerous outfit is a short sword about two palms long at his waist, but it looks like it's just a very ordinary self-defense product.

In general, the first image of this middle-aged man is that of a researcher who has been insisting on outdoor sports for a long time or has to live outdoors. Although it was a cerebral one, I had to work out good muscles. For example, academics who work with wildlife or outdoor archaeology. Lu Xi has also seen people with this kind of temperament, such as Mr. Yavaru, a professor of herbivore archaeology who met outside the frozen valley. Speaking of which, did the scholar, who was a very herbivore but indeed a good man, return to Neosfia? How is he going to write his own research? Lu Xi was quite curious about this.

Of course, considering that this scholar-like middle-aged man was wearing a traveler's robe, although it looked a little old, the placket and hem of the shirt still had some patterns of gathering energy circles. The crutch in his hand should also be a magic staff, although the wooden staff body is not very conspicuous and looks like a whistle stick, but if you look closely, it is still engraved with rune spells, so there should be some new speculation about the identity of this person - for example, an ordinary middle-aged traveling mage is less than 20 people. The kind of mage who has never done a task with a reward of more than 100 gold coins for a lifetime in a small mercenary group, when he is old, he will only put a little hypnotism, dust raising magic, lighting and the like, and rubbing a fireball is considered a desperate move.

However, generally speaking, if you follow the old-fashioned RPG setting, this middle-aged magician with a dragon NPC face may still be some kind of hidden boss or something. For example, the idler who led the protagonist team of the second middle school to save the princess and defeat the sea of stars of the Great Demon King, or the elder brother of the Great Demon King hidden behind the Great Demon King.

It's a pity, whether it's the idler or the brother of the big demon king or the NPC. The other party should be in front of him, and it is impossible to have any secrets at all.

"Yes, my Lu Xi? Belencaster. Lu Xi stretched out his hand to the other party, revealing a business smile that can blow up the sky with beauty and affinity: "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a three-star magician of the Federation." He added with the pride and complacency of the long-awaited young genius who ascended to a high position at the age of 20.

"Oh. That's pretty remarkable. I didn't get that status until I was 30. The scholar-style magician was slightly stunned, then showed an expression of admiration, and also held Lu Xi's hand: "That's right." My name is Terna? Ty, as you can see. He is also a magician of the Alliance. Twenty years ago, I attended a lecture by Master Orucello, and since then I have been impressed by his knowledge and strength. Hehe. At that time, my newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and I was stunned to challenge Master Orucello, of course, the result is also guessable. ”

“…… Hehe, all I can say is that I admire your courage. But why is that? You don't look like a particularly aggressive combat mage. ”

That's right, the so-called combat mage must be like my usual harmless and quiet people, once I fight, I will be a barbarian among a dozen or twenty big fireball mages or something.

"It's also a little embarrassing to say, the reason why I did such a foolish act in the first place was of course not so ignorant that I thought that I could defeat the Firmament Mentor with a rough coat, but I wanted to show my strength and talent in front of the master, hoping to impress him and be included in the door wall."

"I see." Lu Xi nodded. That's a sad story.

"At that time, my thoughts were actually seen through by Master Orucello at a glance, and he politely rejected them on the spot......" The traveling mage looked at Lu Xi and smiled a little complicated: "So, now seeing that an excellent young magician like you is still the true descendant of the master, my heart is a little complicated. ”

Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said with a smile: "So, what are you here for at this time?" First of all, if it's because of jealousy, it's not okay to duel with me, the decent successor of my teacher, our quiet beautiful man has always been a pacifist......"

"If you want to fight, maybe I've already started a sneak attack before......" The traveling mage named Terna smiled and shook his head, "I have an agreement with the master that I will go out to practice for 20 years, and then come to the door to show him the results of my cultivation." If, 20 years later, my growth satisfies him, he will be able to officially include me as his disciple. ”

Lu Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, I will soon have another senior brother from the same sect?" ”

"No, I'm not sure what the master thinks. And even if he agrees, the one who achieves it comes first, and you are the senior brother. "So, is Master Orucello at home?" ”

"Although I don't want to disappoint you, it's a pity that the tutor is not at home. I might not be back until a month or two at the earliest. Lu Xi said: "Otherwise, you can stay in the guest room first and wait for him first." I'll do my best to inform him to come back in other ways. ”

"But, wouldn't that be too much of a nuisance?"

"Somewhere, maybe we'll be a family soon. Moreover, since the teacher has such an agreement with you, it means that he does not treat you as an outsider. (To be continued......)
