Chapter 15 Instigation and Gambling

(Chapter 4! Please recommend it!)

"Isn't this the Young Master Melina who lost his fief? Why are you so shabby that Baron Red Maple's house has free meals? If you lack money to buy barley and fire, can you ask me to borrow it? Our Grey family has a vast territory, and you don't lack these copper slots!"

While the butler was reporting to the master, the guests outside had already pushed away the servant's obstruction and came uninvited.

The person who came was a noble young man about twenty years old, but his face was full of ruffians, like a rogue on the street, and his appearance was not like a nobleman. Beside the young man was an old wizard wearing a gorgeous wizard robe, holding a wooden stick high a man, and snow-white face.

Barley is usually the rough grain that only the poorest civilians or slaves eat every day. The black bread baked with flour is hard, dry and difficult to swallow. Few nobles have the chance to try it. The other party said this, naturally mocking Donald for his identity as a down-and-out nobleman, but he obviously didn't know that Donald's wealth now may be more than ordinary real-world nobles. At least he took out thousands of Jinsols at once, which were something that the hereditary nobles under the baron could not have been able to accumulate for decades!

The other party's words were too ugly. Even the Baron Red Maple, who was valued as peace, could not help but frown. However, seeing the old wizard beside the young man, the businessman noble was obviously a little worried, and the words of reprimanding were stopped.

On the contrary, although Donald was extremely angry, he was able to maintain his noble demeanor and did not fight. However, he secretly taught the other party a small lesson. He mobilized his mental power and used his mage tricks to grab a piece of raw steak prepared for baking on the spot, and smashed it hard on the other party's mouth that was so irresistible to tear it.

"Woo!...Push!"

"Who is it? Which bastard dares to tease me? Come out and get to die!"

The aristocratic young man was showing off his own power, but he didn't expect such an ugly appearance. He was naturally extremely angry and shouted loudly.

But the old mage beside the young man shook his white eyebrows, opened his mouth and pointed at Donald and said, "You dare to show off your poor apprenticeship magic in front of this master. You haven't come out to apologize and admit your mistake!"

"Everyone is equal before spells. You are not my teacher, and you have never met. What qualifications do you have to make me admit my mistake?"

Donald's faint business rang out, and the old mage was choked when he heard this, and immediately said angrily: "Just because I am your senior, hasn't your teacher ever handed over your mage etiquette?"

Seeing this old mage who was tying up his seniority and confident Donald naturally would not allow others to insult and despise him, and he would soon fight back.

"The master is indeed an old master. Both age and level are examples of our apprentices. However, my teacher is only Master Messel. Can your status be compared with that of the master?"

"this……"

When the old mage heard the words Messel, he couldn't speak on the spot. If he said anything that would harm the man, even if that person was generous and did not care about him, the other mages in the entire North County would not let him go, and he would not have to stay in North County in the future.

The old mage was concerned, but the young man was so angry that he was dizzy and cursed: "Master Messel, I have never heard of it. Do you know what identity is in front of you? If you offend me, you will offend the entire Lord Gerry, you………”

Before the young man finished speaking, he was pulled hard by the old wizard beside him, and the lower half of his words were interrupted.

Seeing that the old mage was surprised or angry, his face turned blue, and he was about to ask, but he heard Donald on the opposite side chuckling:

"If you dare to say this in the Rock City, that would be an admirable act! I'm sure that within a short time, you will be joined by all the mages of the North County to turn into a roasted pig. Even the city guards and their North County consuls will not dare to care,"

Even the Baron Red Maple beside him nodded in agreement. This person was too stupid and even dared to say anything insulted by the master. Even the great nobles of the kingdom would only be on par with that person and dared not be disrespectful at all.

To put it in a small matter, it was probably because of the generous man who left the rest. To put it in a big matter, even the noble title of the other family and the entire family territory would probably be destroyed in this sentence.

Besides, the old wizard over there had already explained the pros and cons to the young man, which scared the guy's face turned pale.

Seeing that the young man was taught a lesson, he became more honest, and Baron Red Maple spoke slowly.

"Sodo, are you here to find Sai Olin again today? Who is this respected wizard?"

The young man then barely smiled and said, "This is Master Xue, a newly hired mage consultant from Baron Gerry. I heard that Uncle Onister and Sister Sai Olin admired the mage very much, so I specially invited Master Xue to visit!"

The conversation between the two also made Donald, who appeared here so by chance, relieved his doubts.

This young man is the grandson of Old Gerry who invaded their family territory, Sodo, the current son of Lord Gerry. He has insulted and mocked Donald many times. To use an old saying in his previous life, he also recognizes it even if it turns into ashes. When he sees this guy appear, Donald's new and old hatreds surge into his heart.

The fief of the Meliner family was obtained by the liar of the old Gerry. At that time, the old Gerry was just the housekeeper of the previous Viscount Macbeth family. In order to make his son, the current Lord Gerry, make a name for himself, to make his career, and then ask him to inherit the fief of the Meliner family who has been officially promoted from the knight attendant to the knight.

Logically speaking, the Melina family, like Baron Red Maple, was not a noble servant directly under Viscount Macbeth, but a local lord who belonged to His Majesty the King. However, the Gri family had somehow bribed the officials of the royal court and obtained the fief of the Melina family, and was directly granted the title of Lord by his master.

Although Donald, who had changed his soul, knew that there must be support from the Viscount family behind all this, Donald was most angry at the shameless act of the Grimm family defrauding his grandfather's fiefdom in his memory.

Lord Gerry, the retainer of Viscount Macbeth, was very coveted of Baron Red Maple's territory and property. It was also out of Viscount Macbeth's instructed by Viscount Macbeth behind him that he instructed his son to pursue the Baron's lady. Baron Red Maple's two major industries, maple syrup and wine, even Viscount Macbeth was very jealous!

Today, Lord Gerry's son brought the newly hired third-level mage from the Gerry family, Master Xue, to show off in front of his future father-in-law, so as to increase his bargaining chips to marry the Baron Miss.

You should know that Baron Red Maple always wants to establish a relationship with the mages, but no mage responded. The mages are all arrogant, even if they are just low-level mages in the first stage of the Black Iron.

So the family just so happened to recruit this third-level mage. Seeing that Baron Red Maple has not responded to the marriage positively, Lord Gerry thought of such a way to show off both demonstration and show off.

Speaking of this Xue Mage, he was a civilian and his original name was rather vulgar, so he changed his name to Xue.

Ordinary civilians in this world usually have only names but no surnames. The father is often called Robert and the son is called Robert. If they have too many children, just naming a name will make ordinary parents who don’t know a few words feel embarrassed.

As for slaves, most of them have code names and even formal names. If a civilian has his own surname, then his ancestors must be related to the nobles or professionals, and their status is one end higher than that of ordinary civilians.

The reason why this old mage only calls a single word is because most outsiders will call him Master Xue, which can make him feel a strong sense of superiority.

With his level, he is far from being called a master. Although his appearance and dress seem to be more master-like than the first mage of the North County Master Messel. You should know that only high-level mages can barely be called a master, and the real master is a great mage of the golden level. Strictly speaking, Messel has not reached the level of a silver-level mage, but considering that the master's achievements in alchemy have reached the silver realm and his prestige in the North County, it is completely unquestionable to call a master.

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

Inheriting the tradition of the ancient magic empire, the mages believed in the theory that the masters were the first to pursue the truth.

Master Xue is almost sixty years old and is still a level three low-level mage. Because of his narrow-mindedness, he has always been envious to those talented young apprentices. This mentality becomes more and more serious as he grows older and his level stagnates. So when he sees Donald, the young apprentice of seventeen, feels uncomfortable as he is burning.

The Rock Club released a genius apprenticeship cup that Messel was accepted as an apprentice. Afterwards, Master Xue also heard from his friend, Master Nalon. He didn't expect that he would meet him so by chance when he was with his employer's son today. And the apprentice Donald in front of him is the example of the younger generation. How could he not let the old mage get jealous?

Donald, who heard the name of Master Xue, also became alert as soon as possible. In the reminder of the waiter of the mage club, the name of Master Xue appeared with the mage Nalong in the middle of the Black Iron. The attitude of this master Xue is probably not much better than that person!

Seeing that both sides did not speak, the atmosphere was in awkwardness. As the master, Baron Red Maple stood up to ease the atmosphere.

"I am presenting a banquet for Knight Melina today to celebrate his successful career as a mage apprentice with a noble status and great prospects. The two of you came at the right time. Since that's the case, why not sit down and celebrate Knight Melina together?"

Sodu was still worried about the mistake just now, so Master Xue responded on the steps and pulled Sodu to the table together.

As the main dishes came up one by one, Donald ate with relish, while Sodo and the others who were arrogant and proud just now couldn't swallow it.

Sodo, who was frightened by his own loss before, has now returned to his mood. Seeing Donald enjoying the delicious food, I feel so angry that I feel so angry.

You know that he has been asking Donald for a lot of trouble in the past, but he didn't expect that this little down-and-out noble would have the chance to turn around! Thinking of this, Sodo felt more and more that he could not let this kid continue to grow up, and Master Xue, who was already swallowed by the flames of jealousy, wanted to destroy the rumored genius apprentice immediately.

The two of them whispered at the dining table, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution. That was to find a way to inspire the young apprentice to compete with the old mage for magic, and let him use the ring given by the master as a bet. As long as he lost this gift, the master would probably be dissatisfied, so that Donald could not use the name of Master Messel.

The snow master first put down the tableware, pretended to be elegant and wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said:

"Apprentice Meliner, I have also heard of your performance in the certification and assessment of the Mage Club. I wonder if you are willing to discuss spells with me as a third-level mage?"

Seeing this old monk intending to learn aristocratic etiquette, unfortunately, because he was born in a civilian family, he had no systematic education to imitate. It would be better to just be more natural and casual, and he seemed less conceited and inappropriate.

Donald didn't know what the other party was thinking, but it was definitely not a good thing for him. However, he was not afraid of a third-level mage. He now held a large handful of monster crystal cores and elemental crystals. Whether it was a powerful summoning creature or the 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 kind and wanted to see what the two of them were going to play, so he nodded lightly.

Seeing Donald's dispensable appearance made Master Xue angry. He thought that he was a mage who mastered the third-level spell casting ability, his strength was already at the top of the Black Iron stage, but the apprentice in front of him looked a little disdainful when he even communicated with him. How could he not make him jealous and resentful?

"It seems that Apprentice Meliner is very confident in himself! Why not let's take a gamble and use the practice method commonly used by the mages to compete, and also help the Baron's banquet to entertain the Baron's banquet. How about it?"

"Okay! I wonder how you want to compete with Master Xue?"

Sodo interrupted, "The competition between the two mages is rarely seen among our nobles. How can you not get some lottery tickets? Why not bet on the ring and staff in your hand?"

Seeing these two singing together and trying to arouse themselves in a trap, the Baron Red Maple on the side also looked at him with interest, Donald sneered disdainfully. If it were a very arrogant young man, he would probably have stepped into the other party's plan in one step!

However, although Donald did not change the young man's impulse, he was a thirty-year-old soul. After experiencing the second life, he became much more calm. He was wary of these two guys from the beginning, so he naturally would not easily get caught. Even if he didn't take Master Xue as a level 3 mage in mind, he would not easily be threatened by himself.

He looked at Sodo and the others hesitantly. In the expectant eyes, he suddenly showed a bright smile, and the words he spoke made the other party feel urge to vomit blood.

"Sorry, I refuse!"
