(Chapter 4!Recommend!)

"Isn't this the young master of the knight of Merlinna, who has lost his fiefdom? Why did you come to the point where Baron Red Maple's house was rubbing food, if you lack money to buy barley to start a fire, but ask me to borrow it! Our Gerry family's territory is vast, and there is no shortage of your copper horns!"

While the butler was reporting to his master, the guests outside had already set aside the servant's hindrance and came uninvited.

The person who came was a young aristocratic man about twenty years old, but he had a thick ruffian on his face, like a scoundrel on the street more than a nobleman, and his appearance was not likeable. Next to the young man was an old mage dressed in a gorgeous mage robe, holding a one-man tall wooden staff, and his beard and hair were snow-white.

Barley was generally a coarse grain eaten daily by the poorest of commoners or slaves, and the brown bread baked from flour was so hard and dry that few nobles had the opportunity to try it. When the other party said this, he naturally laughed at Donald's identity as a down-and-out nobleman, but he obviously didn't know that Donald now had more wealth than ordinary field nobles, at least tens of millions of gold soles at once, which those hereditary little nobles whose territory was under the baron couldn't do it for decades!

The other party's words were too ugly, and even Baron Hongfeng, who valued peace, couldn't help frowning, but seeing the old mage beside the young man, the merchant nobleman obviously had some scruples, and the words of reprimand stopped when they came to his mouth.

On the contrary, although Donald was furious in his heart, he was still able to maintain his aristocratic demeanor and did not fight, but he secretly gave the other party a small lesson. Mobilizing his mental power, he used the trick of a mage, grabbed a piece of raw steak that was ready to be grilled on the spot, and smashed it on the opponent's mouth.

"Uh...... Phew!"

"Who is it? Which bastard dares to tease Young Master Ben? Come out and die!"

The aristocratic young man was showing off his might, but he didn't expect such an ugly state, so he was naturally extremely angry and shouted and scolded.

However, the old mage beside the young man raised his white eyebrows, opened his mouth and pointed at Donald and said, "Bold apprentice, you dare to sell your poor apprentice spell in front of this master, and you still don't come out to apologize and admit your mistake!"

"Everyone is equal before spells, and you are not my teacher, and you have never met, what qualifications do you have to make me admit my mistakes?"

Donald's faint business sounded, and the old mage choked when he heard this, and then immediately said angrily: "Just because I am your senior, hasn't your teacher handed you the etiquette of a mage?"

Seeing that this old mage relied on the old and sold the old, Donald, who had confidence, naturally would not let others insult and despise him, and quickly fought back.

"The master is indeed an old master, both in age and rank, he is a model of my apprenticeship, but my teacher is only Master Messer, can your status already be compared to the master?"

"This ......"

When the old mage heard Messer's three words, he was speechless on the spot. If he said anything detrimental to that person, even if that person was generous and didn't care about himself, the other mages in the entire North County would not let him go, and he wouldn't have to mix in the North County in the future.

The old mage had scruples, but the young man was so angry that he was dizzy, and scolded: "Master Messer, I haven't heard of it, do you know what kind of identity you have in front ............of you?

Before the young man could finish speaking, he was jerked by the old mage beside him, and the second half of his words were interrupted.

Seeing that the old mage's face turned blue with surprise or anger, and he was about to ask, he heard Donald on the other side chuckle and said:

"If you dare to say this again in Boulder City, it will be an admirable act! I'm sure that in less than half a day, you will be turned into a roast pig by all the mages of the Northern County, even the city guards and their Lord Archon of the Northern County will not dare to care,"

Even the Baron Red Maple beside him nodded in agreement, this one was too stupid to even dare to insult that master. Even the great nobles of the kingdom would only sit on an equal footing with that one, and they would not dare to be disrespectful at all.

To put it mildly, most of it is the generosity, but if it is not over, if it is bigger, it is the noble title of the other family and the entire family territory, I am afraid that it will be ruined in this sentence.

Besides, the old mage over there had already explained the stakes to the young man, and the frightened guy's face turned white.

Seeing that the young man had learned a lesson, he was honest, so Baron Red Maple spoke to him unhurriedly.

"Sodo, have you come to see Seolin again today?

Only then did the young man reluctantly smile and said, "This is Master Xue, the newly hired mage advisor of our Barony of Gerry, I heard that Uncle Ernest and Sister Saiolin both admire the mage very much, so I specially invited Master Xue to visit!"

The conversation between the two also relieved Donald's doubts about how the young man could have appeared here so coincidentally.

This young man is the grandson of old Gerry who usurped their family's domain, and is now the son of Lord Gerry, Sodo, and has insulted and ridiculed the former Donald many times. To paraphrase an old saying from his previous life, even if he turns to ashes, he recognizes it, and as soon as he sees this guy appear, Donald has new hatred and old hatred welling up in his heart.

At that time, the fief of the Merliner family was obtained by the trickery of the old Gerry, who was just the steward of the previous Viscount Macbeth's family, and in order to make his son, the current Lord Gerry, get ahead, he designed to seek the fief of the Merliner family, which had fallen into decline. He then asked to be succeeded by his son, who had already been officially promoted to knighthood by a knight's squire.

It stands to reason that the Melinna family, like Baron Red Maple, is not a noble retainer directly under Viscount Macbeth, but a local lord who also belongs to His Majesty the King. It's just that the Gerry family somehow bought off the officials of the royal court, obtained the fief of the Melinna family, and then was directly given the title of lord by his master.

Although Donald, who has changed his soul, knows that there must be the support of the Viscount family behind all this, but he is the most resentful of the shameless act of the Gerry family in his memory of defrauding the family fief and angry his grandfather.

Lord Gerry, a retainer of Viscount Macbeth, coveted Baron Redmaple's territory and family property very much, and it was also out of the instruction of Viscount Macbeth behind him that he instructed his son to pursue the young lady of the Baron's family. The two major industries of the Red Maple Baron, maple sugar and wine, even Viscount Macbeth are very hot!

Today, the son of Lord Gerry came with the newly hired third-level mage of the Gerry family, Master Xue, just to show off in front of his future father-in-law, so as to increase his bargaining chips for marrying Miss Baron.

You must know that Baron Red Maple has always wanted to get in touch with the mages, but no mages have responded, and the mages are all arrogant, even if they are only low-level mages in the early stage of Black Iron.

So it happened that the family had recruited this third-level mage, and seeing that Baron Red Maple had not given a positive answer to the marriage, Lord Gerry thought of such a way to demonstrate and show off.

Speaking of this snow mage, he was born as a commoner, and his original name was vulgar, so he changed his name to Xue.

Ordinary civilians in this world generally only have a name and no surname, often the father is called Rob, and the son is called Little Rob, if there are too many children, just the name makes the civilian parents who don't know a few words feel embarrassed.

As for the slaves, most of them only had a code name, and they didn't even have an official name. If a commoner has his own surname, then his ancestors must be related to the aristocratic or professional class, and his status is higher than that of the average commoner.

The reason why this old mage only called him a one-word name was because most outsiders would call him Master Snow, which could give him a strong sense of superiority.

His rank was far from being called a master, although his appearance and dress looked more like a master than that of the first mage of the North County, Master Messer. You must know that only high-level mages can barely be called masters, and the real masters are the ** masters of the gold rank, strictly speaking, Messer has not yet reached the level of a silver-level mage, but considering that master's achievements in alchemy have reached the silver realm, as well as his prestige in Beijun, it is completely beyond reproach to call a master.

It is said that even the masters of the Kingdom Mage Association treat Master Messer, the only high-level alchemist in Celt, and the master of equipment enchantment, with great respect.

In the tradition of the Ancient Magic Empire, the mages believe in the theory that the pursuit of truth comes first.

And the Snow Mage is almost sixty years old, and he is only a third-level low-level mage, because he is narrow-minded, and he has always held the psychology from envy to jealousy for those talented young apprentices, and this psychology has become more and more serious with age and stagnation of rank, so when he saw Donald, a seventeen-year-old young apprentice, his heart felt as if there was a fire burning.

The Boulder Clubhouse announced that a Genius Apprentice Cup Messer had been accepted as an apprentice, and the Snow Master had heard from his friend Mage Naron about it afterwards. I didn't expect to accompany my employer's son to run errands today, and I would meet it so coincidentally. And the apprentice Donald in front of him is one of the younger generations, how can he not make the old mage jealous?

And Donald, who heard the name of the snow mage, also raised his vigilance for the first time. In the reminder of the attendant in the mage club, it was the name Snow Mage who appeared with the mage Naron in the middle of the black iron. This snow mage's attitude is probably not much stronger than that one!

Seeing that neither side spoke, the atmosphere fell into embarrassment, and Baron Hongfeng, as the master, stood up to ease the atmosphere at this time.

"I have invited Knight Melina to celebrate his success in becoming a noble and promising mage apprentice today, and the two of you have come at the right time, so why don't you sit down together and celebrate Knight Melina?"

Sodo was still worried about Fang Cai's mistake, so the Snow Mage took the steps to come down and pull Sodo to sit together.

As the main course of the appetizer came up one by one, Donald ate it with relish, while the two of them, who were still arrogant and proud, were a little unable to swallow.

Sodo, who had been frightened by his own stump, was now emotionally stable, and he was angry when he saw Donald enjoying the delicious food.

You must know that in the past, he didn't have less trouble with Donald, but he didn't expect that this little down-and-out nobleman would have a chance to turn over! Thinking of this, Sodo felt more and more that he couldn't let this kid continue to grow, and the snow mage who had been swallowed by the flames of jealousy in his heart on the side was even more eager to immediately destroy this rumored genius apprentice.

The two whispered to each other at the dinner table, and finally came up with a solution that was not the way to go. That is to find a way to provoke the young apprentice to test his spells with the old mage, and make him bet on the ring given by the master, as long as he loses this gift, I am afraid that the master will also be dissatisfied, so that Donald will not be able to use the name of Master Messer.

I saw that the snow mage put down the dishes first, wiped his mouth with a pretended elegant napkin, and then said:

"Apprentice Melinna, I've also heard about your performance in the Mage Guild certification assessment, I wonder if you'd like to discuss spells with me, who is a third-level mage?"

Seeing that this old mage intends to learn aristocratic etiquette, it is a pity that because he was born in a commoner, he has not undergone systematic education and has been lacking in imitation, so it is better to be natural and casual, and it seems not so delicate and contrived.

Donald didn't know what the other party had in mind, but it was certainly not a good thing for him. However, he was not afraid of a third-level mage, he now held a large number of demonic beast crystal nuclei and elemental crystals, whether it was a powerful summoned creature or a powerful equipment in the Book of Truth, he could ensure that he could resist or even subdue the old mage in front of him.

Donald knew that the other party was not at ease and wanted to see what the two of them had in mind, so he nodded lightly.

Seeing Donald's dispensable appearance made the snow mage's heart fire again, thinking that he was a mage who had mastered the third-level spell casting ability, and his strength was already at the top of the black iron stage, but this apprentice in front of him even looked a little disdainful of communicating with him, how could he not make him jealous and resentful?

"It seems that Merlina's apprentice has a lot of confidence in himself, why don't we take a gamble and try it out in the usual way of mages, and also help the baron's banquet?"

"Okay, I don't know how you want to compete, Snow Mage?"

Sodo interjected on the side: "The competition between two mages is rare among our nobles, how can you not take some prizes." Why don't you make a bet with the ring and the staff in your hand?"

Seeing that these two sang and wanted to provoke themselves to be fooled, and the Red Maple Baron on the side also looked at him with interest, Donald sneered disdainfully in his heart, if it was an ordinary arrogant young man, I am afraid that he would step into the other party's calculations!

However, although Donald does not change the impulsiveness of young people, he is a thirty-year-old soul in the end, and he is relatively calm after experiencing his second life, and he has been wary of these two guys from the bottom of his heart from the beginning, so he will naturally not be easily attacked. Even if he didn't pay attention to the snow mage, he would not easily let himself be threatened.

I saw him look at Suo Duo and the two of them with hesitation, and in the expectant eyes of the two, he suddenly showed a bright smile, and the words he spit out made the other party have the urge to vomit blood.

"I'm sorry, I refuse!"
