Chapter 22 Maid Knight
Catherine Celine Knowles, Magister, Master of Rune Arrays, and Senior Tutor of the Royal Mage Academy of the Kaya Empire.
Excluding the principal, the great mage, Celine is one of the most powerful mages in the academy.
Under this premise, and considering that he does seem to have a little "talent" in rune formation learning.
Brand thinks it would be nice to become her disciple.
Afterwards, after another conversation and learning more about Celine’s “background,” Brand expressed his willingness to become the chief disciple of Ms. Celine Knowles.
"Since you have agreed, you will be my chief disciple, Celine Knowles.
This is the meeting gift I prepared for you. It contains my mage badge and some advanced knowledge of the rune array. Go out. If you encounter something outside, you can directly report my name."
After saying this, Celine hesitated and then said:
"Just skip the apprenticeship ceremony. I don't like those red tapes.
In addition, I accepted You as a disciple two months ago. Yes, you must remember this correctly!"
Before returning to the grand banquet hall, Brand didn't quite understand what his teacher's last words meant.
But when he returned to the grand banquet hall, he was pulled aside by Professor Morian and asked who his teacher was? When did you become a master?
Brand understood it all at once!
Facing the curious and inquiring eyes of the onlookers.
Thinking about his teacher's strength and background, and the amethyst space necklace strung with fine silver that he gave him.
Brand "candidly" said: "I am the chief disciple of Ms. Celine Knowles. Two months ago, I was favored by my teacher, and we formed a master-disciple relationship."... Several days have passed since the farewell
dinner
. time.
Because the college has entered the break semester, Brand's classmates have left the college one after another in the past few days.
On Brand's side, because he was accepted as a disciple by Celine, in order to get closer to his teacher and get to know each other better, he stayed in the academy for a few days.
This morning, Brand packed his bags and walked towards the gate of the college.
——After delaying for so many days, he was finally ready to go home.
Because Salute has been packed into the space equipment given to him by his teacher, Brand is now empty-handed.
Brand expressed great satisfaction with the meeting gift given to him by his teacher.
Not to mention it looks great.
The most important thing is that there are ten cubic meters of space inside.
You know, the price of a cubic meter space bag on the market is as high as 300 magic gold coins.
Brand's space necklace, which contains ten cubic meters, is enough to serve as the finale treasure of a provincial auction.
Its price is hard to predict!
For this reason, Brand decided to hug his teacher's "thick legs" tightly.
...
On the high tower in the center of the Mage Academy, Celine Knowles's studio.
Looking at the back of the figure strolling toward the gate of the college in the distance, Dean Andrew couldn't help but curiously asked Celine Knowles, who was sitting on the workbench drawing the base of the magic circle: "Little Celine
, Judging from your cheerful mood, Brand's talent must be quite good, right?"
After hearing the dean's voice, Celine slowly put down the pen in her hand and moved her wrist.
After pouring coffee powder from the jar on the side and making herself a cup of fresh coffee, she responded casually:
"You said Brand, he is so stupid!"
Originally, Andrew just asked casually, but he was listening. After receiving Celine's answer, she was a little stunned.
"What did you say?"
Andrew wondered if he heard wrongly.
"Incredibly stupid! Unworthy of training!"
Celine clearly repeated the words describing Brand's talent, this time adding an additional adjective.
After confirming that he heard correctly, Andrew's expression was very strange, but after thinking about it, he suddenly said: "
Yes, he is indeed a bit outstanding, and he can only grow better if he is pressured."
After saying this, Andrew was a little worried. He said: "Is Brand okay for the test in two years? I don't want your grandpa to ridicule me for depriving you of resources next time we meet." "
This is still okay."
Seeing that Celine changed her previous evaluation, she said Brand looked confident, and Andrew also smiled slightly.
Considering that the atmosphere is very harmonious now, the timing is more suitable.
Dean Andrew finally explained his purpose.
Pointing to the coffee in Celine's hand, he asked curiously:
"I wanted to ask during the meeting yesterday, what brand of refreshing potion are you drinking? Where can you buy it?" ...
"
Master! This way."
As soon as he walked out of the academy gate, Brand heard a familiar voice.
Turning his head to look over, he saw a knight girl wearing silver-white women's full-body armor, a knight's sword hanging on her waist, long golden slightly curly hair, and a smile on her face, standing beside a carriage and waving to him. .
Although the girl is dressed as a knight, she is actually Brand's maid.
——Catherine.
Because she had been sold to the Holland family since she was a child, Catherine did not have a surname.
The Holland family had relatively lenient rules for managing their slaves.
As long as it can show enough value and make enough contributions to the Holland family.
Then they could be given the status of free people or even retainers, thereby breaking away from slavery.
But unfortunately, compared with other maids, Catherine's road is longer.
Mainly, she did something unforgivable in the past.
——Deliberately harming the descendants of nobles.
The starting point of the matter was about half a year ago.
While Brand was playing with a group of maids in the garden, in full view of the public, Catherine "suddenly pushed Brand hard against a pillar and broke his head."
At that time, Viscount Holland was out discussing business, and Yersen had the final say in matters in the entire territory.
Originally, Yersin was planning to execute Catherine directly according to the rules.
However, Brand, who regained consciousness, stopped Yersin in time.
As a client, Brand saw clearly that Catherine did not "suddenly exert force", but a sudden "surge in strength."
——Katherine has extraordinary blood, and that blood awakened for a moment when she was playing with Brand.
Brand, who was aware of this fact, did not tell Yersen the truth of the matter, but just asked Catherine to sign a new slave contract with a more stringent contract.
But this time the slave owners were not the Holland family. Brand wrote his name with a wave of his hand.
Although Brand's "indecisiveness" was scolded by Yersin, Mr. Holland also expressed his disappointment after returning.
However, Brand succeeded in transferring Catherine to his own name and exempted her from the death penalty.
As the second son of the Viscount, Brand always has to go out on his own.
Before independence, Brand would of course have to dig into Mr. Holland's corner to form his own team.
As for concealing Catherine's extraordinary bloodline, Brand was considerate of Yersin's psychology.
After all, because Catherine injured Brand, the power to deal with Catherine fell into Brand's hands.
So even if the truth of the matter is announced, Yersin can only watch with jealous eyes as Brand attributes Catherine to his own name.
——This is not conducive to family harmony.
Brand is a family man!
Of course, it is impossible to leave Catherine to Yersen or something.
As a qualified descendant of a noble family, the delicious food that comes to your mouth must be swallowed in one bite, and there is no possibility of giving it to anyone!
