The kitchen was not hard to find, and Austin used his nose to easily find Lillian busy with dinner in a large kitchen on the west side of the first floor, easily guided by the scent that filled the air. By this time the pretty girl had changed into a maid's suit and put on a white cook's suit, and her hair was coiled up and stuffed into a high barrel-shaped hat, to prevent it from smelling of oily smoke.
She seemed to have received orders from the mage, and was not surprised by Austin's appearance, she put down the onion she was slicing, wiped her hands, took out a shiny dinner knife from the cabinet below, and handed it to Austin: "Just use it, it's sharp, don't worry about the wound is too big, I'll use the recovery technique to help you heal the wound." "
Lillian's tone was cold, as the mage's new assignment to her would take up a lot of time, which would affect her own learning of spells. Not only was she Jersey Navia's maid, but she was also his apprentice to magic. Usually, when serving Zecil, it's already difficult to squeeze time out, but now it's good, and a man who doesn't even know a word is stuffed to let her guide her to study, which is simply ...
Austin didn't think too much about it, he took the knife, and quickly cut a small cut on his wrist, which was nothing to him, and then quickly put the glass bottle that collected blood under the wound, until the glass bottle was completely filled, he held the wound to stop the bleeding, and begged Lilian: "Please use the recovery technique to help me heal." "
Recovery is a second-level spell that can stimulate the activity of the recipient's cells, thereby accelerating the healing of wounds, which is completely different from the healing techniques in the divine arts, and will not be ineffective because the constitution is biased towards the purgatory creatures, on the contrary, because the purgatory creatures themselves are stronger than humans, they are twice the result with half the effort, and the effect is even better.
Lillian looked like a man of action, her recovery technique had been prepared as early as Austin's bloodletting, and when the blood was collected, the glow of the spell's success had already surrounded her right hand, and she pressed her hand to Austin's wrist, and she saw a soft green light shining in the place of contact.
After a while, Lillian withdrew her hand and said coldly: "Okay, you can leave now, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the library on the first floor first, and when it's time for dinner, I will bring you over to eat, and then take you to the bedroom." "
was ordered to be evicted, Austin left the kitchen stupidly, he felt Lilian's coldness, but he didn't think much about it, after all, there was no friendship between the two, and he was a poor gangster, how could he get the favor of a beautiful woman?
After walking around the room on the first floor, Austin finally found a room with a book sign on the door, and a line on it, but he didn't know it, and it should be true, this is the library that Lillian said.
The door to the library was unlocked, and when it opened, Austin was greeted by a small round table made of flowers and vines, with an open book and a cup of tea that had long since cooled, and then he learned that this was where Lillian usually reads, and then he saw rows of bookshelves with only one person between them.
Speaking of books, Austen has seen the most holy scriptures in his life, but because he does not worship a certain god devoutly, and he does not go to listen to the pastor's sermons much, he even sees the holy scriptures only a limited number of times. Now he dared to say that there were more books on one shelf than he had seen in the previous ten years combined! Not to mention that there were more than a dozen bookshelves here!
Oh my God, how many books are there! Austin was stunned. If he remembered correctly, in the bookstore in Oni City, the thinnest knight princess novel costs two gold coins, and here, each book is almost three fingers thick, how much does it cost to buy the books in this library!
Although he didn't know how to read, this did not affect Austen's curiosity, he stood greedily in front of each shelf, and picked up this one for an estimate, and then picked up another and couldn't let it go, and he didn't even feel that time was passing quickly, and soon the sun was setting.
"Do you love to read so much?"
As Austen happily flipped through each book, the voice of the maid Lillian came from the doorway, cold and mocking.
"Ahem. Austin put the book back in embarrassment, then turned to Lillian and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't touched a book much before, and I'm very curious, so I just flipped through it." "
"There will be opportunities to see in the future, now follow me and take you to dinner. Just now, the master has a new order, and he asks you to go to the study to see him after dinner. "
If it was a mockery of Austen's lack of culture just now, this time it was jealousy of his good fortune. Lillian had just returned from delivering dinner from Master Zecil, who was testing Austen's blood, and from the surprise on his face, it was not difficult to guess that the man in front of him was about to make a big difference.
Austin was overjoyed, it seemed that the appraisal of his own lineage had been obtained, and whether he could embark on the road of becoming a special mage in the future, and how far he could go in the future depended on this appraisal!
With the thought in mind, Lillian had prepared for him the dinner: a thick soup of potatoes and onions and beef with buttered bread, which was absolutely delicious in the eyes of the pauper, and it tasted nothing in Austen's mouth, so he gulped it in, eager to eat it all at once, and then ran to the mage. Watching him gobble down the food that he had worked so hard to prepare, Lilian frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Can you eat a little? Tell you, the master has eaten dinner and has a habit of drinking tea, and it will be at least another hour before he has time to see you! "
Didn't he say that he would go to see the mage after dinner? Of course, Austin didn't dare to say this, and since he would have to learn language and writing from others in the future, he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with Lillian for the time being. So I had to suppress the feeling of wanting to fly to the study, and patiently chewed the food in front of me. The bread was sweet and the meat was badly cooked, but in Austin's mouth, it still tasteless.
Time passed so slowly that it wasn't until Lillian had eaten her share of food in small gulps that Austin was pardoned: "Don't bother here, go upstairs, you should know where the study is." "
With a whoosh, Austin almost jumped up from the stool and rushed out, even bringing a gust of wind in the kitchen, but fortunately there seemed to be no one else in the villa except for the Jersey mage and the maid Lillian, and Austin flew all the way and didn't scare anyone. But when he was about to get to the study, Austin forced himself to restrain his impulses, stopped, and switched to a slow, light pace, he did not dare to disturb Master Zecier.
"Knock knock..."
"Come in. Mage Zecil's voice came clearly through the door.
"Good evening, Master!" said Austin, bowing respectfully as she closed the door again.
"Sit down. Jersey gestured to a chair in front of his desk, and realized that Austin sat down. Then he picked up the bottle of blood on the table, which had turned from bright red to dark purple, and said to Austin: "The situation is good, your bloodline comes from the refining of demons at the top level among all kinds of devils in hell, although it is not those famous great devil lords, it is also very good." "
"With the help of Kelberlot's power, your originally extremely weak demon refining bloodline, which had been passed down from dozens of generations ago, has now become very active and pure, comparable to those bloodline special mages who have only been mixed for three or four generations. Jersey said this, unable to hide his excitement.
In the more than 30 years that he has been a mage, although he has done a lot of experiments, dissected a lot of various creatures, and even participated in the research of subspecies dragons, but for the demon refining that can dominate one side in hell, there is no chance of contact at all, after all, he is only level seven, although he is a master in the ordinary population, compared with the demon refining that is already at the legendary level, he is still as weak as an ant.
Well, now that he has a demon refining descendant who continuously provides research materials, the purity of his bloodline is unusually high, and he can't be better. Even if the final research results are not used on themselves, they can be exchanged for mages who like to deal with the devil. At the moment, he was a little worried about what to do if he grew up too fast and couldn't control himself after guiding Austin to the path of a special mage.
"Master, how likely is it that I will become a 'special mage'. "Austin, who has no research on bloodlines, doesn't know what kind of situation Zeciel's 'bloodline special mage who has been mixed for three or four generations' is, so he asked.
"How much is it possible... Zeciel looked at Austin from top to bottom several times, and finally decided not to hide it from him, "No surprise, if you practice that "Special Mage Bloodline Awakening Exercise Method", it will have some results after ten days and half a month." "
Surprise! Definitely a surprise! Austin could no longer restrain the joy in her heart, and danced and cheered despite the fact that Master Zecil was still here.
Mage Jersey didn't mean to blame, on the contrary, he was a little more relieved by Austin's simplicity at this time, if Austin was quiet and behaved like a guy in the depths of the city, he would have to consider whether to make a magic contract to strengthen the binding force.
"Alright, don't jump, my study is about to collapse by you. "
After a long while, Mage Zecil finally couldn't help but stop him.
Austin stopped his movements, bowed deeply to Master Zecier, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Zecier, I will definitely remember your kindness and repay you desperately in the future." "
"Well, your words have made me feel sincere, and I am glad that you have this heart, and on the first day of the week in the future, I will grant you permission to receive my teachings like Lillian. Remember, the path of a mage is not blocked by the fact that you can become a special mage, but by learning from each other, you can go further. Now, apprentice Austin, go downstairs and find Lilian to learn how to read, and by the way, let her explain to you the "Special Mage Bloodline Awakening Exercise Method". "
At this moment, the pointer representing Austen's fate finally stopped, pointing to a winding but wide road, the road is long, and I don't know where the end is...
