Chapter Eighteen, A Letter From Home (for further reading)

In the central part of the Kingdom of Tistan, the warm spring breeze and gentle rain have taken away the cold winter. A messenger wearing a cowhide hat with a flower arrangement on his head and riding a donkey delivers letters from far away to thousands of households.

In this era, literacy was a luxury. Except for the high-ranking nobles and free people from well-off families, the farmers in the fields might never be able to write their own names in their entire lives.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the messenger couldn't help but speed up his pace. The letter in his hand came from a nobleman who was on an expedition. He would send several letters every year. He was already very familiar with this road.

After walking for a long time, a large windmill appeared in front of the messenger. There were many farmers sweating in the drizzle on a large area of ​​cultivated land.

The messenger looked at them with some envy. He really envied these noble lords. They could continuously gain wealth just by sitting in a warm manor.

He took out a piece of cloth and wiped the accumulated rainwater on his body, and straightened his clothes. Being disrespectful in front of a noble lord is a very serious matter.

As soon as they walked outside the manor, two tall guards surrounded them. One of them said in a kind tone: "Long time no see, Mr. Tom. Is there a letter for Madam? Counting the time, the master's letter should have arrived."

.”

Tom immediately respectfully handed over an envelope with the bow and arrow emblem printed on it, and said with some caution: "There are five silver coins in total. Sir, you know that this letter comes from a very far away place."

Five silver coins for a letter is almost unimaginable in the minds of the people at the bottom. It is almost all the expenses of an ordinary family for a month.

Fortunately, the Black family was always easy to talk to, and the guards handed the money directly to him without any difficulty.

The messenger left with a lot of thanks. The guard knocked on the door of the manor with the letter. A meticulously dressed old butler opened the door and said: "Mr. Wade, who came just now?"

"Butler Deman, Mr. Tom sent a letter from the master." Wade responded with a smile.

"Yes, Madam and Miss will be very happy. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wade." The old butler took out six shining silver coins from his pocket very happily. He knew very well the cost of a letter.

, many are rewards given to the guards.

"Praise Madam for her kindness and generosity." Wade happily took the coin and expressed his heartfelt thanks.

Everyone knows that there is a kind and generous lady in the Black family.

The old housekeeper held the letter all the way, quickly climbed to the second floor, knocked on the door respectfully and said: "Madam, the master has a letter."

He soon heard a cry of surprise coming from the room, and the door opened quickly, revealing a little girl wearing a gorgeous dress.

The little girl is about seven years old. She has smooth and beautiful golden curly hair, a pair of big clear and transparent eyes, fair skin, and a little baby fat on her face, making her adorable.

A smile appeared on Deman's face, and he bowed slightly: "Good afternoon, miss."

"Hello, Butler Deman, you have a letter from your brother that you want to bring to me, right?" The little girl said with a bright smile on her face, extending her white and tender hand to Deman.

"Yes, Miss, please help me transfer it to Madam."

In this way, the letter passed through several hands before finally reaching Ryan's mother, Kelly Mann Black.

Kelly Mann looks like a graceful and noble noble lady. Although she has many jewelry on her body, she does not look vulgar.

Looking at her bouncing daughter, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Look at your feet Susan, your bad steps are really rude."

"Mom, it's a letter from my brother, can I read it to you?" Susan seemed not to have heard it, and she snuggled into Kailinman's arms and acted coquettishly.

As she spoke, little Susan opened the envelope in her hand. Although she was young, she had already memorized thousands of common words and was able to complete daily reading and writing.

This has surpassed most of her peers, and even those a few years older than her may not be able to do this.

The general content of the letter is as follows:

Dear Mother, Susan:

Are you okay? Forgive me for not being able to spend the Zhengdan Festival with you... I have made enough achievements on the battlefield, maybe we will have a new territory soon.

During this period, I hope you can visit your father's comrade-in-arms, Baron Hilteret. His grandfather is the minister of the imperial court. I hope you can ask him to inquire about the direction of the division of the fiefdom...

By the way, Susan has reached the age of extraordinary testing, right? I wonder if she has inherited her father's extraordinary talent?



Finally, I wish you good health.

——————

After Susan finished reading, Kailinman's face suddenly showed an incredible expression. She grabbed it and read it over and over again.

It wasn't until she repeatedly confirmed that a bright smile appeared on her face. She walked quickly outside the room and said to the old housekeeper: "Butler, carefully prepare an expensive gift. I'm going to visit Hilt tomorrow.

Baron Ley."

Compared to Kelinman's ecstasy, Susan's little face no longer smiled, just because of Ryan's last sentence - extraordinary test.

She did go to the royal capital last year to undergo a supernatural test. The good news is that she does have extraordinary power in her body, but the bad thing is that her affinity attribute is not magic, and it is not fighting spirit. She is just an extraordinary person with special power.

This situation is not unique on the mainland, and there are many of them. These extraordinary people often have some incredible special abilities, and some are not afraid of fire.

Some can control water flow, but most of them have abilities that have no practical effect. For example, Susan, the power she has developed now is that she can communicate with any living thing without any obstacles.

Such as flowers, trees, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks...

Then there is the ability to quickly learn various languages ​​and texts, which is also related to communication. It sounds cool and magical, but in this world, who cares about what flowers, grass, pigs and dogs are saying?

Because these special abilities cover a wide range and the strength of their abilities varies greatly, it is impossible to form a training system such as knights and magicians.

Basically, you can only rely on yourself to explore. Some big families may have unique training methods, but in a small family like Black, you can almost just let them go.

Although Susan likes to communicate with small animals, she also knows that this ability is almost useless. What she wants more is the ability to fight and be her brother's helper.

She hasn't seen her brother for two years, and she knows that he is doing something very dangerous.

Kelinman returned to the room and found Susan who was a little disappointed. After a little thought, she knew the reason.

He reached out and touched Susan's silky hair, and said gently: "Don't feel disappointed, Susan, Lei will probably be happy for you when he knows.

After all, you have liked small animals since you were a child, right?"

"But, I really want to help my brother..." Susan nodded and murmured in a low voice.
