Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 A Wizard

毕竟,老汉姆在格林结婚生子之前就去世了.这是春天的开始,刺骨的寒风已经开始软化.一天的工作结束后,老汉姆和格林从镇上买了一小桶麦芽酒,切了几斤肉,准备明天开始房屋装修计划,把格林的妻子提上日程.不幸的是,第二天早上,老汉姆没能叫醒格林去上班.老汉姆笑着离开了,不知道是因为前一天晚上的好酒好肉,还是因为他所有的愿望都在梦中实现了.无论如何,在 Green 雇佣了几个农民来埋葬 Old Ham 之前,他仍然面带微笑,像往常一样自由自在.老汉姆最珍视的烟斗也被格林埋葬了.老汉姆的突然离开让格林感到迷茫了很长一段时间,但生活照常进行.格林成为两间小屋的主人,拥有一匹老马,两枚金币和十七枚银币.这些是老汉姆一生的积蓄,现在都属于格林,这也是格林现在的全部财产.当然,格林私下里把存放金币的巫术书"猎鼻变嗅图鉴"藏了起来,每晚读一两次,不消耗太多灯油.这是格林打开的通往巫师世界之门窥视的缺口.渐渐地,夏天来了.这还是平凡的一天.忙碌了一个上午之后,格林把昨晚贵族狂欢留下的大量垃圾倒在了子爵府的城外,然后来到了子爵的领地,从这些仆人那里拿走了今天为子爵准备的物资.格林坐在马车里,舒服地望着蓝天白云.马车旁边,一个叫玛丽的乡下姑娘正在熟练地装货,比一般的男生还要干练.玛丽穿着一条亚麻围裙,脸上有很多雀斑,一头金发.她的心怦怦直跳,偶尔会偷看一眼舒适地坐在马车里的格林.玛丽非常喜欢这个帅哥,闻到了他独特的香味,就像阿伦草的香味一样.但格林没有理会玛丽.一年前,一次偶然的机会,格林知道这个女孩喜欢他.是老汉姆偷偷把这件事告诉了格林.就连老汉姆的计划也是让格林娶这个女孩为妻.不过虽然他没有说出来,但他不得不在心里承认,他对这个勤俭又害羞的女孩,真的没有任何感情.她最多只是一个邻家小女孩.所以在老汉姆离开后,格林再也没有主动联系过这个女孩.他每天只在装货时看到她一次.见格林不说话,女孩偷地观察了格林一边工作.看到货物逐渐被转移到马车上,按照惯例,格林会把马车开走.女孩终于咬着嘴唇,忍不住开口了."格林,早上,一个巫师路过这里,问怎么去比塞尔城.在座的每个人都非常惊讶.这是我第一次看到这位传说中的巫师.女孩装作惊讶,偷偷观察着格林.坐在马车里百无聊赖的格林,听到巫师这个词,顿时兴奋起来.他难以置信地说道:"巫师?你确定吗?"我当然确定.这里的很多人都见过.玛丽看到格林和她说话,高兴地回答.格林兴奋地问道:"巫师长什么样子?格林以前从未见过巫师,所以他问道."嗯...巫师穿着灰色的长袍,头上戴着一顶高帽.他的脸色不清,仿佛蒙上了一层雾气.他手里拿着一只眼睛红红的青蛙.顺便说一句,他正在村头和艾玛说话.玛丽看到格林的兴奋,把她能知道的所有信息都告诉了格林."Thank you, that's great!"Green was very excited. This was the first time that Green got a clue about a real wizard since he got the witchcraft book half a year ago.He ran quickly to Emma's house at the head of the village.Emma was a young woman in her twenties, but she was already bloated and fat. She wore a white apron around her waist like a bucket. She was already a mother of two children.The male owner was a hunter named Sogara. He was strong and had a very generous personality. There was a scar on his left cheek caused by a porcupine tusk.When Sogara saw Green coming, he was very surprised and said, "Oh, Green is here, haha, are you attracted by the fragrance here? Come on, this is the game caught in the mountains in the east yesterday..."In the kitchen, Emma came out, and two children looked at Green curiously.Half an hour later.Green left Emma's house excitedly, muttering excitedly: "Bissell City, really went to Bissell City!"Green drove the carriage to the city in a hurry. The old horse trotted all the way. I was really afraid that it would die early and be buried with old Ham.At the door of the Viscount's Mansion, four tall and strong knights stood behind the arrogant old butler, blocking the door.The old butler looked at the dozen farmers who were surrounded at the door of the Viscount's Mansion with a sinister look and roared: "Your land was given by the Viscount. The Viscount can levy taxes as he wants. Do you want to rebel? Let me tell you..."Green waited anxiously in the distance.Basically, at this time every year, a large number of farmers would block the door of the Viscount's Mansion and make trouble. After being dealt with by these tall and strong knights, the farmers would disperse, but the process took different amounts of time."Untouchables! Untouchables! You dare to talk back!"The old butler roared: "Drive you out!"After just a short while, the four tall and strong knights beat and kicked and drove away all the dozen farmers.The old butler was very angry and glared.Green did not dare to delay and drove the carriage into the Viscount's Mansion in a low-key manner. The old butler roared: "Stop!"Glancing at Green and casually flipping through the goods on Green's carriage, the old butler scolded: "Why are you so slow? Do you still want to work?"Green grinned, and he had been holding back his anger in his heart.This old guy has already received two silver coins from himself this month. He can only get four silver coins for working in the Viscount's Mansion for a month. Although the wages are high, he can't stand the old guy's exploitation."Master butler, I arrived earlier, but I didn't go in because those farmers blocked the way."Green is young and energetic, but he is not as good-tempered as Old Ham.Suddenly, the old butler seemed to have been poked in a hornet's nest, his hair almost stood up, his old face flushed and he pointed at Green's nose and roared."Asshole! You, a lowly person, dare to talk back? It seems that the Viscount has raised you in vain! Good! Good... Don't come tomorrow, get out of here!"After saying that, the old butler angrily entered the yard and shouted to the knights around him: "If this lowly person comes again tomorrow, break his legs for me, otherwise you don't have to come."Green stood beside the carriage, furious, and kept cursing the old guy in his heart to see Old Ham tomorrow.Suddenly, Green thought of something, hummed, parked the carriage under a big tree not far away, and ran to a blacksmith shop in the small town."Hey, Sixth Brother."Green greeted a blacksmith apprentice.When Green was begging in Bissel, there were always nine beggars begging together, and Green was ranked eighth.Afterwards, each had his own opportunity. Green was taken away by Old Ham, the sixth entered this blacksmith shop as an apprentice, the second was said to have gone to the countryside to work as a servant, and as for the others, there was no news."Eighth!"When the blacksmith apprentice saw Green, his eyes lit up, and he strode over and patted Green: "How come you have time to come to me?"He was about 1.8 meters tall, full of sweat and acid, full of masculine breath. Now the sixth was much stronger than Green, with a beard, and his cheeks were red because of being smoked by the stove all year round. His rough hands hurt Green when he patted him."Sixth brother, I want to ask you something. I heard that a wizard came to the city?"Green asked in a low voice, and the sixth's face changed."How did you know? A wizard did come. It is said that he is here to accept students with wizard qualifications, but it costs a gold coin to determine whether they have wizard apprentice qualifications."As he said this, Lao Liu quietly pouted behind him and pointed at the old blacksmith and said, "The old man also took his son Ai with him. He has no wizard qualifications and is still worried about the gold coin."Green was surprised and happy: "Where is the wizard?"Old Liu's face changed, and he looked at Green in shock: "You don't want to go, a gold coin is not a small fee, we don't have that much money to waste."Green hesitated for a moment.If he really lost a gold coin, it would be a big blow to Green, who only had more than two gold coins.However, if he lost this opportunity, he might never have such an opportunity again in the future...Finally, Green nodded firmly.After being shocked for most of the day, the sixth brother said, "It's in the city lord's mansion. It is said that the city lord's precious daughter has been identified as having the qualifications of a wizard. Of course, she is also the only one in Bissel City.""Thank you, sixth brother."Green was so excited that he even forgot the unpleasant things that happened to the old housekeeper in the Viscount's mansion. His mind was full of things about wizards.Green ran to his two small huts desperately and dragged out a box from the most secret place, which contained a lot of silver and copper coins."I must become a wizard! I must!"After counting out a hundred silver coins, Green thought about it, took the magic and witchcraft book "Hunting Nose Transformation and Smell Atlas" with him, hid the box, and ran to Bissel City again.Since it was summer, the days were long and the nights were short, fortunately it was not dark.The Lord of the City is the most noble noble in Bissel City, and it is said that he is the only Marquis in this area.Unless you go to other city areas, in Bissel area, the Lord of the City is the most powerful noble, and even the Viscount has to obey.Green has only seen the Lord of the City Mansion a few times from a distance. In the past, it was heavily guarded, with seven or eight knights guarding it, but now, there are many people coming in and out of the Lord of the City Mansion.Green took a quick look. Most of the people coming in and out were shop owners or nobles in the city, and they were accompanied by their descendants, often with a disappointed expression.Green knew that the wizard was inside, so he rushed in without caring about anything else."Stop, pay a gold coin fee."At this time, a boy about the same age as Green shouted at Green.Green gave the other party a small bag of silver coins with a painful look. The man glanced at Green with disdain and threw the small bag of silver coins directly into the box behind him without counting them.Green was stunned for a moment. Judging from the other party's temperament and dress, he looked like a farmer's son. I don't know what kind of good luck he had. I don't know where that arrogance came from.Grinning the man with disdain, Green followed the crowd in front into the city lord's mansion.
