Celestial Mage

Chapter 114 The Entry Key to High Society (34)

One p.m.

'Gulu~gulu~~'

The carriage of Jingshi Sanctuary stopped at the door of Sunshine Xiaozhu.

Rosen jumped out of the carriage, waved goodbye to Xia Lina, then took out the key, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

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

Seeing that it was Rosen, he saluted immediately and called him 'Mr. Rosen'.

But the gardener was close and his eyes were sharper, so he saw the official mage emblem on Rosen's chest.

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

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

It is no exaggeration to say that the future is boundless.

So he looked very humble, wishing he could bend his head into the mud.

Rosen waved his hand: "Keep busy and ignore me."

He strolled towards the stone house, and as soon as he reached the door, before he knocked, the door opened automatically, and a figure in a crimson dress greeted him.

It was Alice Serrandis.

Standing at the door, she immediately gave Rosen a warm hug. She hugged him tightly and couldn't bear to let go.

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

"You're not hurt are you?"

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

Rosen was hugged and couldn't move, so he could only slightly shrug his shoulders: "Mentor, if you hold on tighter, I may not be able to hold on anymore and get hurt."

"Hee hee, it seems that you are not injured, which is really great."

Only then did Serandis let go of Rosen, and took a step back to look carefully, only to see the shining mithril emblem on his chest.

"Phnom Penh Mithril Emblem, low-level Divine Seal Mage~ My apprentice, no, I can't call you an apprentice now, you have to be called Mage Rosen."

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

"Ah~ I'm really relieved to say that, but I still can't call you an apprentice. After all, this overlaps with the name of a sorcerer's apprentice. Hmm~~ I have to change the name, let me think about how to call you."

Serrandis dragged 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 dragged him to the flower hall on the second floor.

After releasing a home protection technique to isolate the inside and outside, she and Rosen sat side by side on the thick leather bench: "My dearest...ah, no, what should it be called?"

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

But Serrandis immediately called out: "Then father, my daughter really wants to know, what exactly did you go through on the battlefield that made you an official mage?"

After finishing speaking, he said again: "It must be a very dangerous and difficult thing, right?"

In private places, the enthusiastic Alice no longer controlled her emotions. While speaking, her body was close to Rosen, her head resting on his shoulder.

Naturally, Rosen would not hide anything, except for the details of Oreikeya's repayment, he will tell you everything else.

After he finished speaking, Serendis blinked his eyes, and tears were hidden.

"Oh~ my dear father, is the outside world really worth your life? My daughter almost never sees you again."

Feeling agitated, she reached out and hugged Rosen, holding his head tightly to her chest, as if she was worried that if she let go, Rosen would go away with the wind.

Rosen felt Serendis' worry from the heart, and his cheek was next to his broad chest, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Hey~ No wonder people say that Ruanrou Township is a hero's tomb. After returning from the war, I am exhausted physically and mentally. When I need gentle comfort, I come here. If the will is weak, I will definitely be intoxicated and unable to extricate myself."

He does need a break, though, and a mentor is a haven for a weary soul.

So, he let the mentor hug him, didn't move, and didn't speak quietly.

Serrandis seemed to sense something, and asked softly, "My father is a hero who returned from the battlefield. Even if his body is not injured, he must be very tired mentally, right?"

Rosen nodded slightly: "Too many lives have passed away on the battlefield, and endless pain and misery are everywhere."

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

Selandis lowered his head, and gently rubbed his smooth and soft face against Rosen's, his soft and delicate voice echoed in the hall.

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

The woman's warm and gentle comfort is indeed a good medicine to heal the trauma of the soul, and Rosen suddenly feels much more comfortable.

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

After a while, after the turbulent mood of both parties calmed down and the mess on the thick leather bench was cleaned up, Rosen opened the leather satchel and took out the documents one by one.

"Because I saved Uncle Xia Bolai and helped the legion defeat the ice dwarves. I have made good military achievements. The earl made me a hereditary knight and gave me a piece of land. The location is about 15 miles away from the southern outskirts of Silvermoon Castle. Big, 300 labang."

300 labangs, converted to the earth, is about 8000 hectares of land, which is about the same as a very broad university campus.

Serrandis was taken aback again: "So, my dear father, is he already a noble lord?"

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

Rosen immediately possessed the hereditary title and land. Although the area is not large, the status has opened up a huge gap with the common people.

Of course, there is also a status gap between nobles.

The size of the territory, whether it is rich, the number of people in the territory, whether the blood is ancient, whether it has the qualifications bestowed by God, etc., are all the criteria for judging the status of the nobility.

For example, Selandis, she has a noble surname.

But strictly speaking, she should be called a noble child from a noble family. Because she has no territory of her own and no title, her actual status cannot be separated from that of a wealthy commoner.

Of course, because she is still an official mid-level twelve-star mage, basically a title equivalent to Jazz, if she is not so withdrawn, she can do 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, through which a small river meanders. There is a small village called 'Filande', with a total of 367 households, who collectively cultivate about 200 farmlands in Labang. "Rotational Cultivation"

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

In this world, the social status of divine seal mages, formal mages, and knights is similar, but there are still subtle differences.

Simply put, it is a question of 'scope of application'.

God Seal is the title of the Golden Church system, which means that it has received the initial approval of God, and is generally given to mid-level clergy.

An official mage is the only way to enter the upper echelons of the mage circle. Without this identity, one would not be able to look up when seeing an official mage.

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

Senior political officials in big cities all wear the title of jazz, which is somewhat similar to the ancient Jinshi qualifications.

Now, Rosen's status is 'Sir Ferlander, the official god-sealed mage', which means that he has obtained the entry key to enter every field of the upper society of Silvermoon Castle.

Back to topic.

Serrandis immediately shouted sweetly: "Ah~ my father is Lord Philander, should I change my daughter's name to Alice Philander to completely distinguish her from Anna?"

She thought about it seriously.

Rosen was already 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 to introduce.

"I have estimated that this territory can only bring me an income of less than 500 crowns a year at most. It has to be managed carefully, and the income of the people should 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 has no time to take care of it, so the income from the territory will definitely not be too high.

Having said that, 8000 mu of land will not be able to manage any big tricks, but it will involve a lot 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. The annual annuity will not exceed 50 crowns, but they can manage the territory in an orderly manner, so that there will be no troubles, and they can also slightly increase their income."

"Well, it's a good idea, then I'll find a housekeeper."

That's all for the time being about the territory, it's impossible for him to put too much thought into it.

When I usually stay, I will always stay in Sunshine Xiaozhu 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 earl.

Serrandis took a look and was taken aback, and the casual expression on his face disappeared completely.

"Preparing to cast spells, constant focus ring, these are the Earl's famous stunts!"

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

"Preparation to cast spells. Through unique spell-casting techniques, half of up to five spells can be released in advance and kept constant. When needed, one can flexibly choose to burst one or several, or even burst all together to achieve the strongest attack effect."

As soon as Rosen heard it, he knew that it 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.

"Constant focus ring, a constant focus ring on the wrist. The mana passing through the focus ring will greatly increase the mana strength, thereby greatly increasing the power of the next three spells released."

"Substantial increase, how big is it?"

"I don't know the exact value, but it is said that it is increased by a percentage, at least 40%, and the scope of application is quite wide, from low-level to high-level, it can be used."

Rosen took a deep breath: "Sure enough, it's a famous stunt!"

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

He secretly said in his heart: "Well~~ It seems that the earl really values ​​me. '

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

If you can cooperate, that is a magic skill!
Serrandis shook his head: "It seems impossible, because the count has never done this before. But whether it is possible or not, we will know after further research."

The two began to carefully read the introduction of the spell book.

After half an hour, a conclusion was reached.

Serrandis shook his head: "I don't think so."

Rosen found a possible opportunity: "If you use high-level numbers, it seems that there is a possibility of fusion."

Serrandis raised his brows, and nodded after careful consideration: "It's true."

Then there is something to do.

Rosen said, "Sweetheart, the last time I left in a hurry, the research on flow rate was suddenly interrupted. Let's start again?"

Serrandis grinned: "Father, my daughter has been waiting for your words!"
