"Hi, Colin." Bill smiled and stretched out his left hand, shaking it at Colin. On the ring finger of his left hand, he wears an exquisite but cheap copper ring, which was the last time Colin bought it in Kent.
" Hi, Bill." Colin also smiled. He came to his place first, took off the schoolbag and stuffed it into the desk, and put the training sword on the ground. "You seem to be in a good mood. Did something happen? "
"Jenny gave birth to a foal." There was a slight smile on Bill's face.
Jenny was an excellent thoroughbred mare, Bill's mount, and Colin had not only seen it many times, but had ridden it.
"Congratulations." Colin said sincerely.
"The foal is a stallion, and it hasn't got a name. How about you get a name?" Bill asked with a smile.
Colin froze for a moment, which meant he wanted to give me the foal. But a purebred horse is worth at least thirty gold coins, and the specific value depends on the quality of adulthood. Such as strength, long-distance running, sprint speed, endurance. Anyway, this gift is too precious.
Colin's heart warmed, but he shrugged and said , "Forget it. You know it. Even if you give me a horse, I have nowhere to raise it, nor can I afford it."
"I will be able to raise it in the future. ." Bill winked at Colin, meaning Mr. Sorcerer's Apprentice. In fact i always wanted to give Colin a good horse, but in the past, the conditions in Colin's family were so poor that there was no way to keep a horse. But the current Colin....
But after considering Colin's current residence , Bill said again: "Forget it, let me support you for a while. When you can afford it, give it to him. Name. Don't refuse, as a prospective knight, how can you not have a good horse of your own?"
"Okay."
Bill suddenly showed a happy expression.
Before Ms. Anna came, Colin pointed his head to Bill and said, "Bill, I want to find a knight teacher for Smith, do you have a suitable person?"
Bill was stunned, Smith was too familiar. He hesitated: "Isn 't Smith in his twenties? Is it too late to start knight training now?"
"Everyone said that." My Smith is a genius."
"Okay. Let me find out for you." Bill didn't know where Colin's confidence came from, so he had no choice but to say.
"Thank you, Bill," Colin said.
Bill gave Colin a hygienic eye.
Soon after, Ms. Anna came. Before that, the students were whispering. As Ms. Anna's long legs entered the classroom, the noisy voice disappeared, and the students were very obedient.
Immediately, class time began. Today is also a school day, nothing special happens. The nobles have a very cold relationship with Colin and Bill, and the children of the commoners are afraid of Colin. Colin and Bill are still isolated islands within the class .
After Colin came home from school, Smith and Linda had returned first, and Smith was frustrated because he had not found a satisfactory job. Linda continued to comfort Smith and cheered on.
Dinner was steak, bread, and half a bottle of Vail's red wine left over from last night.
At night, Colin made a basic strength potion as usual, and absorbed the energy.
Nothing special happened on Friday, Smith still did not find a job, he gradually became a little restless. Colin made a basic strength potion at night as usual.
Saturday.
Today is a sunny day, but the clouds in the sky are very thick, and the clouds that come from time to time cover the sun and bring a moment of shade.
Today Colin vs.
I made an appointment to find Smith's teacher.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Bill came to Russell's house in his fine carriage. Colin put on a formal dress and got into the carriage. The carriage started immediately, heading north.
After leaving the city of Will, vast wheat fields appeared on both sides of the carriage. Colin remembered what happened last time, and couldn't stop laughing: "Do you remember the last time you were looking for a job?"
"I'm also kind." Of course Bill remembered this embarrassment, and he couldn't stop but blushed, and then he was angry.
After joking, Colin became serious and said, "Let's talk about Mr. Smith."
"His Excellency Victor Williams, now fifty-eight years old, a lifelong knight of the Empire, once served in the Marquis of Kent. Your Excellency serves in the Gale Knights, and retired due to injury three years ago. Currently, he is doing nothing at home to pass the time with his knight apprentices." Bill said, and he hesitated on his face, saying, "But this Your Excellency charges a fee. Very high, twenty gold coins per year, and apprentices need to bring their own horses, train horses, and do not provide potions."
Colin tuition, it is indeed very expensive, even the annual fee of Will Knight Academy is not so high. However, the Knights Academy of Will is backed by the Marquis of Kent and the Empire, so the fees are lower and medicines are provided.
So with the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer things like formal knights taking knight apprentices. But there is also an advantage, a knight usually does not take many apprentices, and the education is concentrated. And a formal knight of the Will Knight Academy will lead a class, and the educational energy is relatively scattered.
"Money is not a problem, the key is Smith's future. Since the other party has served in the regular Knights, then I believe in his strength." Colin said.
" Okay." Bill still doesn't like Smith, how old are you? But seeing friends like this, they don't say much.
Soon after, the carriage stopped outside a villa.The villa is surrounded by wheat fields, and many oak trees are planted on the periphery. The oak trees are surrounded by white walls and cover a large area.
The gates are two tall iron gates, the gates are open, and there is a small post on the right side of the gate.
"Who are you?" An old man with gray hair and a thin stature walked out of the guard booth and looked at Colin and Bill who had just gotten off the carriage with a puzzled expression.
" I'm Bill Pitt. This is Colin Russell. We have an appointment." Bill put on a little make-up, sprayed on a lady's perfume, behaved a bit motherly, and wore a reserved smile of a nobleman on his face.
"Please wait a moment, two gentlemen, I'll check it out." The old man said immediately after hearing the words, and turned back to the post to check it out, then walked out and greeted: "Two gentlemen please."
This villa is very big, Apart from the main body of the villa, the longhouse where the servants live, the stables and other buildings, there is only open green grass. Colin saw several boys standing in front of a middle-aged knight, wielding the training sword diligently.
The old guard trotted to the middle-aged knight and said a few words softly. The middle-aged knight nods, and after explaining a few words to the apprentices, he turned around and came to Colin and Bill.
The middle-aged knight was extraordinarily tall and sturdy. His face was full of long beards. His clothes were slightly formal, and he wore a pair of cowhide riding boots.
Colin also noticed that the knight's left foot was slightly out of step with his right foot, and it seemed that the left foot was badly injured. At the same time, the middle-aged knight was also looking at the both.
The both sides saluted and introduced themselves. This middle-aged knight is Colin's target, His Excellency Knight Victor Williams, a former member of the Gale Knights.
Immediately, Victor invited Colin and Bill to sit down in the living room of the main villa. And let the maid prepare black tea, sugar cubes, and sweet biscuits.
