Chapter 25
The reception room of Viscount Gordon's mansion.

Ron and Viscount Gordon sat opposite each other, and the surrounding maids stood quietly on the side, waiting for orders at any time. Veronica was the accompanying maid, standing behind Ron all the time.

Viscount Gordon: "I have written to the two children in the capital to tell you about the matter. When you arrive in the capital, my nephew, they will arrange your residence. You can find them there if you need anything. Write to me if you can’t handle it.”

For Viscount Gordon's arrangement, Ron did not refuse, but thanked him.

Viscount Gordon has only one wife, and the two children he talks about are the eldest son Michelle Gordon born to the Viscount, who is the first heir to the Viscount.

The other is the eldest daughter, Marina Gordon.

The two are only one year apart, and both are studying at the King's Noble Academy in the Kingdom of Carlo.

Viscount Gordon smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you are only one or two years younger than my two children. Michelle will graduate next year. When he comes back, he will follow me to learn how to manage the territory. After all, he will be handed over to him in the future." .”

As soon as a person reaches middle age, he either talks about his career or likes to talk about his children with others.

Ron listened with a smile on his face.

"If you are also studying in the Royal Capital, I will let Michelle take care of you more, what a pity." Viscount Gordon seemed to regret that Ron was not able to go to the Royal Capital Noble Academy.

Ron was also puzzled, it seemed that the original body had been staying in the territory and never went out, let alone went to school in the capital.

Viscount Gordon seemed to know the reason, and Ron thought he might be able to ask it out of the box.He thought about it, and said, "Actually, it's been so long, and I really regret that I didn't go to Wangdu to go to school. I really want to make up for the regret in my heart."

As he spoke, he showed a sad expression and cast his eyes on Viscount Gordon.

Viscount Gordon looked distressed, and said with heavy words: "Son, don't blame your parents."

Hearing about the former baron and baroness, various conjectures appeared in Ron's mind.

I only heard Viscount Gordon continue: "You have also started to deal with the affairs of the territory now, and you clearly understand that the finances of Arnold's territory have not been very good. The debts were paid off a few years ago, and there is really no room for you to go to school."

Ron froze, he thought of many possibilities.

For example, there are political enemies in the king, and he is worried about letting the sole heir risk going to school in the king's capital.

Another example is that the former baron and baroness didn't care about their children, and even hated them, so they treated them in a way of giving up.

Before hearing this result, Ron never thought that he could not afford to go to school because of 'poor'.

Is it me who is poor? !
For a moment, Ron felt a little ridiculous.

A dignified son of a nobleman, he has no money to go to school. Ron really wanted to ask Viscount Gordon, if there are not many people who know about this, is it too late to silence him now?

Seeing Ron's 'painful' expression, Viscount Gordon apologized deeply, and said, "At that time, my territory had a financial situation, and I couldn't help you. After you deal with it, you missed the school age."

Ron coughed twice and said, "It's not your fault. It's my honor that uncle still thinks about this matter."

"Good boy! What a good boy." Viscount Gordon smiled gratifiedly.

"Oh, that's right. How much tuition do you have to pay for a year at Royal Capital Noble Academy?"

Ron couldn't believe it, and asked unwillingly.

Gordon knew everything, and said with a smile: "In fact, it doesn't cost much gold coins a year, only one or two thousand gold coins."

One or two thousand gold coins!

Is that not much?

It is equivalent to the fact that Irene’s fruit shop in her family sells fruit for 500 years before she can afford one year’s tuition.

"You mainly spend money in other places in the capital, and you will know when you go to the capital." Viscount Gordon smiled meaningfully.

After finishing one topic, the two started talking about another topic.Sometimes it starts with Viscount Gordon, sometimes it starts with Ron.

"Uncle is a magician?"

Talking about related topics, Ron asked suddenly.When I checked Viscount Gordon's character card before, the first entry was [Water Element Magic Affinity]. I think Viscount Gordon has a talent for magic.

"Oh? Can you see that?"

Viscount Gordon was surprised, and he chuckled: "Michel, like me, also studied water magic in the academy."

"It's just a feeling."

Ron came to his thoughts and sighed: "There is no one in ten thousand who can have the talent of magic. Fortunately, Michelle has inherited your talent. It's really enviable. I don't know if I have the talent to learn magic."

He said this on purpose, because Ron knew that Viscount Gordon would definitely answer.

Viscount Gordon shook his head and said regretfully, "When you were just born, your father came to me to check your talent. It's a pity that you don't have magic talent."

Ron was prepared in his heart, but he was not surprised.

"Maybe the inspection tools at that time were not very accurate. Over the years, those people from the Demon Tower have come up with even more powerful things. Nephew, if you go to the capital this time, you can go to the Magic Department of the Noble Academy to find someone to re-check it. There are more accurate testing equipment there, and I will prepare a letter of recommendation for you." Viscount Gordon said again.

Ron said gratefully: "Thank you."

-

Time comes to night.

A dinner was held at the Viscount Gordon's mansion.

At the banquet, Ron met Viscountess Gordon - Tiffany Gordon.

The appearance of the Viscountess completely fits Ron's fantasy of a western lady, elegant and noble.

No wonder Viscount Gordon only has her as his wife.

"Baron Arnold, you are welcome to come to the house as a guest." Tiffany said kindly.

"I took the liberty to visit, thank you for your hospitality." Ron replied.

In just two sentences, it was regarded as a greeting between the two. The Viscountess didn't talk much at the banquet, but every time she spoke, the atmosphere would become more harmonious.

Ron knew that the Viscountess was not that kind of showmanship, and her communication skills were definitely at the top.

Viscount Gordon is a blessed man.

Ron sighed in his heart, he suddenly thought of Viscount Gordon's second entry - [Many sons, many blessings (green)]

It is a green entry, which is better than his magical talent.

Looking at the name of this entry, it should be related to 'descendants'. At that time, Ron didn't read it carefully, so he didn't know the specific attribute of the entry.

A dinner party ended happily.

The Viscountess didn't stay any longer, she said excuse me and left.And Viscount Gordon seemed to have endless things to say, pulling Ron to chat all the time.

Ron was out of his mind, and felt that the other party and his personal maid, Irene, should be able to chat very well.

"Almost forgot to tell you the business."

Gordon straightened his expression and said, "Nephew, you will follow the procedures for conferring this time, and there will be no major problems. But there is one thing, I want to remind you."

Hearing this, Ron pretended to be listening.

Afterwards, Gordon said: "The main reason for you to go to the knighthood this time is to re-rate the tax payment of Arnold's territory. This is the key point for you to go to the royal capital to be knighted."

tax?

Ron frowned. Will the kingdom increase taxes?
Just as he thought, Viscount Gordon explained the reason, "When you conferred the title, someone would take the opportunity to raise taxes in Arnold's territory. This is not the royal family's arbitrariness. There are other ministers in the palace among them. The purpose is to get some benefits. "

Ron nodded, knowing that Viscount Gordon wanted him to see clearly, not to blame the royal family recklessly, lest he be murdered by someone with a heart.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Let them raise as much as they want. You just agree to it. Everything will wait until the conferring documents are in hand."

Viscount Gordon was relieved, with a smug smile on his face.Seeing this, Ron asked sensiblely, "What's your opinion, uncle? Please tell me in detail."

Viscount Gordon must know more about the routines among the nobles than him. He is just a noob, so he should humbly ask for advice at this time, and it is also an opportunity to experience prostitution for free.

Viscount Gordon didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Do you know the difference between an honorary title and a feudal title?"
