Chapter 3: Long Journey
Link became depressed.
For more than a year, Link has acted as his original self everywhere.
But people are different, especially when Link was a young man in his late thirties in his previous life. How could he play the role of an ignorant boy well?
Mrs. Grande naturally noticed the changes in her youngest son.
But, how many mothers would have doubts about their sons?
Mrs. Grande loved her son deeply and tried her best to make her younger son live a better life, at least with enough food and warm clothes.
She is uneducated and doesn't know what to say to express her feelings, she just does it plainly.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Link also saw the shadow of his previous mother in Mrs. Grande, the same unreserved love and care, the same lack of words, the same urging him not to miss home and study hard outside.
The joy of getting a precious ticket to the main continent, and the joy of having the opportunity to become a wizard whose great power belongs to him, have faded a lot at this time.
Faint yet meaningful thoughts flooded into my heart.
There was no time to say goodbye properly.
Link sniffed, took a deep breath, and actively activated "Occlumency" to restrain his thoughts and emotions.
The carriage also returned to the Viscount Castle at this time, and the butler was waiting.
Link returned to his original appearance, showing a slight, uncontrollable joy, and stepped out of the carriage.
Under the guidance of the butler, Link came to the banquet hall.
Wizard Paro, four companions, and Viscount Holiday were already seated, but the meal had not yet begun.
"Sit."
Seeing Link coming in with a package in his arms, Wizard Paro turned his head and gestured slightly to the empty seat next to the blonde girl.
"Yes, Wizard Paro."
Link continued to act as a young boy and responded obediently.
The butler helped Link pull out the chair, and then arranged plates, dishes, knives, forks and other utensils for Link.
"Let's start."
Wizard Paro said, taking the lead in picking up the knife and fork, showing that he didn't want to talk and only focused on eating.
Viscount Holiday, who originally wanted to toast and chat, immediately stopped thinking when he saw this.
The four companions had all more or less received banquets from other lords with the Paro wizard, and were naturally familiar with the Paro wizard's style. They all silently waved their knives and forks while enjoying the food.
The banquet was rich.
The exquisite glass decanter contains fragrant grape wine, and the silver dinner plate contains foie gras, caviar, veal steak, lamb chops, deep-sea fish fillets, etc. Link has never seen in more than a year. of gourmet food.
Link couldn't help but move his fingers.
For more than a year, the staple food was black bread, and the side dishes were either catches or beef and sheep trimmings. Even vegetables were rarely eaten, which had already made Link complain.
How can I bear it when I see a lot of delicious food in front of me?
Fortunately, Link was not really a poor boy. He had been exposed to some Western dining etiquette in his previous life, so he didn't look ugly when he feasted and worshiped at the temple of the five internal organs.
A sumptuous lunch ended in silence.
Not to mention that the dishes on the table were in a mess, after all, there was a maid waiting by the table all the time, adding dishes and changing dishes, but it also meant that the core of the dishes was exhausted.
Wizard Paro put down his knife and fork, raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass. He picked up a napkin and wiped his lower lip. He said, "Thank you Viscount Holiday for your hospitality. I am stationed at the wizard's place. I will say a few kind words for the viscount." "Thank you wizard
. Sir, thank you so much, Mr. Wizard."
Viscount Holiday was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. It was those kind words that he wanted to spend so much time and effort in serving Wizard Paro.
"Okay, let's get on our way."
Wizard Paro put down his napkin, got up and walked out.
Link and four companions quickly followed.
In the square of the castle, a horseless vehicle drove over on its own.
The vehicle is rectangular in shape, very much like the passenger car in Link's previous life.
The Paro wizard walked to the middle of the right side of the vehicle, and the door opened automatically.
Link and four companions boarded the car with the Paro Wizard.
Wizard Paro went straight into the front compartment of the vehicle, leaving five new wizard apprentices in the back compartment.
When the five people are seated on the semi-reclining seats, the door automatically closes.
After a roar, the vehicle floated up slightly, about five or six centimeters above the ground, and drove towards the outside of the castle.
"Magnetic levitation?"
Link felt the movement of the vehicle as a whole, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
"Introduce yourself."
The brown-haired boy with big eyes twisted his body, chose a comfortable position, and said, "My name is Jimny Hendrix. I was the first person selected by the Paro Wizard on the Quete Islands. He is a wizard apprentice from the Baron of Moron, and his wizard qualifications are below the fourth level." The elder
brother of the twins continued: "My name is Chris Smith, and my sister's name is Christina, from the Viscount of Boro, and our wizard qualifications are both Third-class upper class."
The blond girl with blue eyes said: "Jasmine Kidman, from Kidman Barony, third-class wizard qualification."
Link responded: "My name is Link Grande, son of a blacksmith, wizard. You all know the qualifications, so I won't talk about them."
After a pause, Link asked tentatively: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave the Holiday Viscounty? Do you have to go to other territories for testing?" "
No."
Big Eyed Jimny, who has followed the Paro Wizard for the longest time, obviously knows the best. He explained: "The Holiday Viscounty is the last stop of the Paro Wizard's trip. We should go to the Captopli seaport now, and then change Take a sea ship to the main continent."
"Captopli Seaport?"
Link had specially collected relevant geographical information and knew that Captopli Harbor was one of the two large ports in the Quete Islands. It was located to the east of Holiday Viscounty, about 60 miles away.
After looking at the rapidly retreating mountains and rivers outside the glass window, Link estimated that he would arrive in about an hour.
Why is the Paro wizard so anxious?
Questions arose in his mind, but Link didn't ask them.
As a subordinate, you should try to inquire as little as possible about the superior, especially when the superior is nearby.
After hesitating for a moment, Link turned to ask: "Jimny, Chris, Christina and Jasmine, do you know anything about wizards and the main continent? As you know, I am just the son of a blacksmith. In addition to hearing about some Regarding the legend of wizards, I don’t know anything else.”
After saying this, brother Jimny and Chris turned their heads to look at the blonde girl Jasmine.
Judging from their surnames, only Jasmine among the five was born into a noble family.
On this isolated island, knowledge and information are extremely illiquid, and only nobles can have regular access to them.
Although Jimny had the advantage of being picked by the Paro wizard first and knew one or two more news, in terms of knowledge and knowledge, Pat Ma could not keep up with Jasmine Kidman.
The blond girl organized her words and said cautiously: "I don't know much about these. I only know that our destination is the west coast of the main continent. After disembarking, there will be admissions from major wizarding organizations and academies. At that time, each of us will choose the appropriate one. Where to go."
After a pause, Jasmine added: "The currency circulating among wizards is magic stones, so after arriving on the main continent, you must find a way to earn magic stones."
