The mage arrives

() waited in the room for half an hour with doubts, the bedroom door opened again, and a young man with black hair and black eyes walked in.

"Sister, you're back." Gordon's face was filled with a warm smile, which somehow made Xiona feel like crying.

This is her home, this is her brother.

Compared with the appearance when the two parted from serious injuries, his body was weak, and his face was pale, Gordon was almost completely different in Xiona's eyes.There was a light of wisdom in his eyes, and there was an unquestionable confidence in his gestures, as if nothing in the world could stop him.

Seeing Xiona standing still, Gordon patted her head: "What's the matter, sister? Seeing the brother who misses day and night, is he so excited that he wants to cry?"

"Who's thinking day and night?" Xiona lightly wiped the corners of her eyes, a faint blush appeared on her face, "By the way, what's going on with Sir Ethelmund?"

Gordon shrugged, and said helplessly, "It's just a boring nobleman who came to make connections. When our family was down and down, no one cared about it. Now that life has just turned around, someone came to the door immediately. I have already sent him away."

Xieona didn't ask further, she glanced at this luxurious bedroom, her gaze stayed on the pink princess bed: "Brother, what's going on here?"

"Your new bedroom. What, don't you like it?"

"I mean, where did you get so much money to redecorate the whole house, not only bought expensive furniture, but also hired a few servants! I remember when you left, you had less than a gold coin on you money for meals."

"This is a story with twists and turns and a heart-warming ending." Gordon sat on the princess bed with a smile, then patted the side, signaling Xiona to sit down beside him.

The younger sister couldn't hold back her curiosity, and sat down next to her brother as she said.

Then, Gordon told Xiona in detail about what happened during this period.

"The sorcerer who dueled in Platinum Plaza yesterday is really you, brother!" Xiona recalled the conversation between the two adventurers.

"Of course, it's a pity you weren't there."

"But brother, you shouldn't spend money like this. It will cost at least a few hundred gold coins to renovate this house. If we save the money, we can pay off the 3000 gold coins owed earlier."

It seems that Xiona has no intuitive impression of how much money the family has.Gordon felt the need to dismantle his sister's small-peasant thinking.The corners of his lips twitched, and he recited the password of the dimensional bag, and one after another, the metal coins shining with charming luster fell on the bed with a clang.

"This is... a platinum coin!" Xiona couldn't believe her eyes.

As the largest denomination coin in circulation in the Freyton Empire, a platinum coin is worth a hundred gold coins. In order to prevent counterfeiting, each platinum coin is infused with a trace of Bahamut's divine power by the priests of the Platinum Temple. .This currency is generally not in circulation in the market and is only used for bulk transactions.

Gordon took out fifteen of these precious coins from the dimension bag at once.

This huge sum of money came from Ao Geluo, a generous five-ring mage who paid a huge sum of money to save the life of his student Hao Lin.Let Gordon's repayment progress reach half in one fell swoop.

Apart from these shining platinum coins, Xiona was shocked again next.She held the account book that Gordon handed her and asked, "Brother, the magic store that you run in partnership with someone else has nearly [-] gold coins in profit every day after deducting taxes?"

"Of course, it's clearly written in black and white in the books. And if the business is doing well, the income will continue to increase."

Xie Ona was stunned for a moment, and accepted the reality that her family finally got rid of embarrassment and became a rich person.And all of this is due to Gordon's hard work.

"Okay, let's go to eat, you should try Bud's handicrafts. I believe you are tired of eating those cold dry food in the wild." Gordon knew that it would take some time for Xiona to adapt to the new life, He took her to the living room.

The supper was rich, with roast pork chops, sausages with pickles, fish soup with mushrooms, grouse baked in salt, and cherry and strawberry pie.Gordon even made an exception and opened a bottle of rose champagne.

Although as a mage, in order to keep his mind clear, he generally would not drink alcohol, but this did not mean that Gordon was poor at drinking.He settled most of the bottle of champagne by himself, but he only felt slightly drunk.But Xiona was already unconscious and collapsed on the dining table.

Looking at his sister who was like a little drunk cat with misty eyes, he shook his head helplessly, walked up to her and hugged her up.Fortunately, the girl's body is very soft, and Gordon has exerted a bullish force on himself, so even though he is a mage who is not good at strength, he can still play the difficult posture of holding a princess.

"Brother?" Xiona's black jewel-like pupils were covered with mist.Although she was in a state of drunkenness, she still found herself being held in Gordon's arms, and her cheeks, which were already flushed by alcohol, deepened again.She didn't dare to look at Gordon, so she simply buried her head in her arms and wrapped her hands tightly around Gordon's neck.

Regarding his sister's ostrich mentality, Gordon could only smile helplessly.Xiona squeezed her body tightly into her arms, making the physical contact between the two of them more intimate.He could even clearly feel the soft and squishy feeling coming from his chest - it seemed that his sister's two little ru pigeons were developing very well.

But after all, she was his younger sister. Although Gordon had a strange feeling in his heart, he had no other thoughts.

After settled Xiona, Gordon left his sister's boudoir.

The strength of the rosé champagne is not high, but it has a strong stamina. Gordon knows that it is no longer suitable for arcane research tonight.Fortunately, after yesterday's duel, Pastor Jack offered to release Gordon from the cemetery's work contract, so that Gordon would not have to go to the cemetery to work every day and could free up a lot of time.

Of course, this is not without conditions.Gordon had to serve the Temple of Dawn once without harming his own interests and without threatening his life.

According to Pastor Jack, if Gordon's ability is only to be a grave keeper, it is too inferior.He can serve Ms. Meridia in other ways.

Gordon came to the study room, took out "Da Song's Evocation Spell Experience", and flipped through it casually, killing the long night while dissipating the alcohol.

At midnight, tiredness struck, he first went to the magic laboratory to check the results of Hodor and Al's work, then put the two jingles that had worked all day into the ring, and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

In the quiet night, a girl's clear and melodious singing came from the aisle.

It was a long narrative poem called "In the Name of the Father": In order to resist the invasion of Northrend, the father of the knight left his daughter and went to the front line to fight, but died in battle.Later, the daughter grew up, holding the sword left by her father, and grew into an outstanding female warrior, avenging her father, and finally slashing her enemy.

This poem, which mainly describes the relationship between father and daughter, was composed by Manning, the famous dragon vein bard in Antoria, and was widely sung in various countries in the mainland.

Gordon walked a few more steps along with the singing, turned the corner of the stairs, and a bleak picture unfolded in front of his eyes.

Siona stood in front of her father's portrait in thin pajamas.She held her heart in both hands and was singing poetry intently.The moonlight poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a silvery white outline on Xiona's delicate body.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Xiona stopped singing and looked at Gordon: "Brother."

"what happened?"

The girl wiped away the two lines of tears and smiled: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered my father and the poem he taught me."

Although the memory of the former owner of the body has already been fused, Gordon, who is a time traveler, is still another du li personality, so he cannot empathize with Xiona and her parents.At this moment, Gordon found himself at a loss for what to say.

"It's okay, don't worry about me." Xiona shook her head empathetically, "I'm just so happy. Since the day my parents passed away, I've never been so happy. My brother is really capable. I believe you not only You can change the fate of the family, and you will achieve even greater achievements in the future. You will regain the fiefdom for the Freeman family and become a mage lord. Only then will you be able to fulfill your father's wish - to make the Freeman family glorious continue."

"Hey, sister, you think too much." Looking at his sister's yearning eyes, Gordon couldn't laugh or cry.

Win a fief?Easier said than done.

The Freyton Platinum Empire has been established for more than 40 years, and the glorious years of expanding its borders have long passed, and its national borders have basically stabilized.The last time the emperor bestowed land on a large scale was when the Northrend invaders were defeated more than [-] years ago.It was at that time that the Freeman family became a fief noble.It's just that the land acquired by that group of nobles is all in the north of the Anduin Great Wall, that land, although fertile, is always threatened by the tundra orcs.

"What do you mean by thinking too much!" Xiona was a little angry at Gordon's reluctance to make progress, "Brother, you are a mage. When you reach the six-ring magic attainment in the future, you must build your own magic tower. It is a necessary condition for mages to conduct arcane research and further advance. How can we do without our own land?"

Sheona was right.To set the goal as the legendary Gordon, a magic tower is definitely needed.Even if he really becomes a legendary mage in the future, he may even build his own floating city.

Although it is not a good thing to aim too high, it is still necessary to make a careful plan for the future.

"I know, brother must work hard to fight for a fertile and rich fief for the Freeman family." Gordon pampered Xiona's head.

"Don't treat me like a child," Xiona patted Gordon's hand lightly, her eyes suddenly became serious, "Brother, when we become strong, we will take revenge with our own hands. Take father Ronald Fowler We swear by Liman's name that we will end the filthy life of the orc warlord Ugru Ironclaw with our own hands."
