Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster - CH 13.2
Hill glanced at Bonn to shut up: “Grandfather, you need someone to follow and serve. Uncle Adrian is already an Archmage. There are many things that are not suitable for him to do. And grandfather needs someone to serve. At least a chef?”
Adrian interjected, “Do you want their whole family follow us?”
“I hope Aunt Lina can let go of her status as a servant, but they are still act reserved in front of me.”
Hill said, “But if they follow you as an apprentice family, they will be ordinary civilian family.”
Hill regretted it very much: “With you, living outside the tower, they are free people. With me, I can’t let them go out and live in poverty, even if it’s good for them, I can’t do it. My grandfather, your attendants from the palace didn’t follow you, so if they become your attendants no one will recognize them as slaves anymore. I am actually reluctant, but I can’t teach Bonn anymore, and Bonn’s younger siblings are also grown up, I don’t want them to live a life of inferiority like Bonn.”
Adrian said: “They don’t have the qualifications of a mage.”
Hill turned his head and said, “The two of them have learned to read and write since they were young, and they all know a little about mage and knight. If they stay with the group of people from my grandfather’s chamber of commerce, at least they can become a businessman.”
He finally said heavily: “I don’t want Bonn to stay with me. Although he is an apprentice mage, he lives the life of a servant. His younger brother and sister should marry ordinary people and have children, instead of choosing people from the servants.”
He looked at Frank pleadingly: “Grandfather, please help me. And Bonn was trained as a housekeeper and can help you with many things. Lina and Lock can also help you train the servants.”
Frank squinted and thought for a while: “It’s okay. I still need some apprentices to do things. You have cultivated Bonn well and he have a solid foundation. But if you want to become an official mage, you have to look at the chance, if not then you can only become an apprentice mage.”
Hill was pleased: “Thank you, grandfather!”
Bonn couldn’t control his emotions, so he turned around and went out the door. Seeing that, Hill quickly stood up.
Frank picked up the knife and fork and said, “It takes half an hour for dinner, and I’ll leave immediately after it’s over.”
Hill picked up the sandwich on the plate, turned around, and chased out the door.
Bonn was waiting outside the door. He asked Hill emotionally why he had to leave and follow Frank?
Hill took him back to his bedroom and closed the door tightly: “Although what I just said is not complete, the reason is the same. The most important it is good thing for you, Dean and Shanny. Moreover, Lina and Locke are old. It’s too old to continue to work hard as a slave!”
Bonn asked: “What else? These are not important! And my parents doesn’t think it’s hard to work.”
Hill said: “Yes, there are the most important reasons. I can’t ruin your future. But, there are many things I didn’t expect before; many things are different from a warlock path.
Everything I planned was based on your position as a mage. Do you know? I thought the earth and water elements were very conducive for ordinary people. At least they can ensure good health.”
“And Dean and Shanny, don’t have the qualifications of mages, and the awakening of knights can only rely on their own physical fitness. Where there is no fire element to help, there is no hope for them.”
“But these elements can be a hindrance to your wizard path. I can’t use fire spells at all, and the elemental spirits of earth and water will not stop coming. As a result they will exclude the fire elements from the territory.”
“Unfortunately you and your family are fire-type people. If you follow Frank, you can even become an Archmage, but with me, you can’t even take a step to be an official mage.”
Bonn said: “I am your housekeeper! I will stay here! You can let my siblings and parents go.”
Hill sigh: “Who do you think my grandfather was? A philanthropist? If it weren’t for your usefulness, he wouldn’t even see the rest of your family. And Bonn, you should know, I’ll only prioritize you.”
He ate the sandwich in a few bites and continued: “My grandfather and uncle Adrian found out early that my territory was not suitable for a mage growth, so they were so anxious to build a magic tower. I also figured it out last night after thinking about it for a long time.”
“If I don’t shove you in now and wait until Adrian gets everything straightened out, all of it is useless. An alchemy master like my grandfather usually used alchemy puppets every day. You’ve seen that Liszt basically only needs maids to do laundry and cook. What about Grandfather’s puppet? it will only get stronger.”
“Bonn, I hope you have a bright future, if you are my servant for the rest of your life, why do I need to teach you?”
