When Austen's consciousness left his spiritual sea and awoke the next day, it was already the afternoon of the next day. As soon as he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Kelly who was lying on the edge of the bed due to fatigue, and he didn't have to think about it to understand that it was this kind girl who helped him.
Staring at her simple face, calm and serene, although not beautiful, Austen inexplicably gave birth to an indescribable touch in her heart.
Is it gratitude? he asked himself.
When his hand stroked her long hair, the touch in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he understood that he had developed a man's desire for a woman for this kind-hearted girl he had known since childhood. Not because of her face, not because of her kindness to herself, because of the beauty of her heart, because of her innocence to people, this deeply attracted herself!
Interrupting his thoughts was the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, and he quickly withdrew his hand as Kelly's sister Nana came in with a basin of water.
Austen naturally recognized this little girl whose milk name was Nana, officially named Irina, different from her sister Kelly, Nana was extremely good-looking, not only with delicate facial features like a noble lady, but also with enviable blond curls without variegation, and she was very well developed, and she was only ten years old and had a small mountain that made her sister embarrassed.
"Hello, Nana. Austin smiled and greeted the little girl who had just entered.
But Nana apparently didn't expect Austin to wake up in bed like a dead man, and when she heard his voice, she was so startled that even the basin of water fell to the ground.
"Huh? Brother Austin, you're awake. Nana pointed at him with her pink little finger in surprise, looking incredulous.
The sound of the basin falling to the ground also woke Kelly, and she looked at the door, then found her sister pointing to the bed in great surprise, and following her sister's fingers, she turned back to meet Austin's gentle gaze.
"Good day, Lady Kelly, it seems that I owe you a favor again, and forgive me for not getting up now, or I will give my most sincere hug. Austen tried to imitate the tone of the aristocracy, but in the end she laughed awkwardly.
"Pero bless, great, great, Austin, you came back to life, I'll just say, how can you die so easily. Kelly was also so excited that she was about to shed tears.
"Haha, it must be the Grim Reaper, his old man thinks that I still owe you so many favors, let me come back and repay you as a cow and a horse. "
"Cut, how do you feel about your injury?" Kelly asked. There was no shortage of miracles in this world, and there were countless examples of things like Austen's near-death resurrection, and she quickly accepted that Austen's death would be cured.
When she asked this, Austin paid attention to her physical condition. I woke up and felt pain all over my body, but I didn't check it carefully. He lay on the bed, first touched the chest that was hit, although there were still large bruises, but he could feel that the bones had grown, and then he tried to kick his legs, the pain was painful, and he was also able to move, and finally he supported his body with his hands, sat up hard, and succeeded!
This is naturally the credit of that evil force, and thanks to the fact that he was seriously injured enough, he completely consumed it, allowing him to take advantage of it and eliminate hidden dangers.
But even if it is a sixth-order recovery technique, it is impossible to make a dying person suddenly become alive, and the weak person will still be weak.
"It seems that I have saved my life, but my whole body hurts and I can't lift my energy. Austin replied helplessly, and it seemed that she had to continue to trouble Kelly.
"By the way, how long has it been since I was hit?" He suddenly remembered something important, that is, the agreement he had made with the mage, and now he didn't know that the hidden danger buried in his body had been eliminated, and he didn't need to go to the mage for help.
"It's only been a day, Brother Austin. Nana replied for her sister in her soft, slightly immature voice.
It's only been a day.... That means it's the day he agreed with the mage! Thinking of this, Austin laughed again, he had survived three days of torture, he still kept his senses, he hadn't turned into a monster yet, he did it!
"Sister. Nana quietly pulled the corner of Kelly's coat and whispered in her ear, "You see, Brother Austen's spirit will be some... Isn't everyone on the street going to be rumored, but yesterday it was Austen's brother who was running down the road like a demon, and he didn't know how to dodge before he was hit, I wonder if his brain is..."
"Kelly, Kelly, my good Kelly, can you please do me another favor?" Austin was so happy that he didn't notice that the two sisters, Kelly and Nana, looked at him abnormally.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Kelly replied, holding Nana, who wanted to test Austin.
"Can you hire me a car to take me to Navia Manor, ten miles south of the city, where the owner, a venerable mage, asked me to come over three days ago. "
After hearing this, Kelly looked at Austin several times, and felt that he didn't seem to be teasing them, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, you wait, I'll go look on the street, and tell everyone about your life by the way." "
When she went out, Nana came over curiously and asked, "Mage, when will you be able to get involved with that kind of big person?"
"Ahem, what do you say?" After all, the memories in the sewers were very unbearable, Austin stammered for a long time, and decided to pretend to be mysterious to deceive her first, "I had a pact with that mage, I can't tell anyone what happened, you know, that kind of big man loves face, anyway, he owes me a personal favor, let me go to him today to get paid." "
"Does the mage owe you a favor, and will he pay you, Brother Austin, will he give you a lot of money?" Nana tilted her head and thought about it, and soon her little head came up with a lot of golden coins.
"Well, a lot, a lot, enough to build a big house! You and your sister will both move in together, okay?" Austin exaggerated spread his arms, as if he already had a beautiful new house.
"Yes, yes. I want a bedroom of my own, I want to make a curtain, I want to... Be pink. Nana jumped for joy, she didn't realize the meaning of Austen's words at a young age.
While Austen was teasing Nana, Kelly returned, and she hired a dilapidated carriage for four silver coins to get out of town, which was not expensive, and the coachman came in to help Austin into the carriage.
"Okay, Nana, you can wait for my good news with your sister, don't forget our agreement. Austin waved at them and winked her eyes at Nana.
"Well, go early and come back early. The sisters shouted together.
....
Navia Manor is a well-known place on the outskirts of Oni, known to the nobles because its owner was a powerful mage, and to the poor because it is on the side of the road outside the city, and every time you pass there, you can see a large signpost pointing to the manor.
Mrs. Che was very good in driving, because she knew that Austin was still injured, so she deliberately slowed down, which made the car a lot less bumpy, and he was also very talkative, and talked about some things in Oni City for a while, and talked about the good quality of milk from the manor in the suburbs, so that this not too long journey felt very easy.
Soon the Navia Manor arrived, and the signposted wooden sign led the carriage into a privately paved alley and eventually to the manor's gates.
"I thought, just send me here. Austin stepped down with the help of the coachman.
"Don't you need me to help you in? The coachman kindly suggested.
Austin declined the coachman's offer, for he did not know if it would offend the owner of the manor, the Venerable Mage, by bringing an unrelated person in. After all, he came to ask for help, and he didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.
He resisted his physical discomfort and walked alone to the iron fence of the manor, and shouted in the loudest voice inside, "I have come as promised! "
After waiting for Mo for two minutes, a beautiful girl dressed as a maid came out of the manor, she first looked curiously at Austin outside the door, then raised her head and thought for a moment before asking, "You are the hard-nosed young man that the master met in the sewers?" "
"Yes, it's me, girl, would you like to see me?" Reflecting on what had happened recently, Austin thought it was a fitting description.
This time the maid replied quickly: "Well, but you have to wait a while, the master is seeing another guest, and he has told me that if you come, take you to the drawing-room first." "
"That's great. Austin was relieved to hear that the mage was still able to keep his appointment.
"Yes, come in. The maid took the key from the pocket of her apron, opened the door and let him in, and then walked ahead to lead the way and advised: "When you enter, do not wander around, do not touch the things in the manor, and if you touch the spell trap, you yourself will be considered unlucky." "
"I remembered. Austin nodded heavily.
