Count of Wizards

Just when Connor was in his apartment with his auxiliary chip, combined with all the alchemy materials in his hands, he was concentrating on how to solve the three major problems he had to face in refining the alchemy puppet that mined the magic stone mine A letter that surprised Connor was dropped into the mailbox in front of Connor's apartment by the postman of Loen City.

Seeing the gorgeous decoration on the desktop and the recipient's letter written by Connor Ferguson, a complex look appeared in Connor's eyes. When he was first reborn here, his mailbox had more than a dozen Most of them were invitations from nobles to social parties and the like, but since Connor came into contact with the wizarding world later, he rarely participated in these social interactions between nobles. Naturally, this kind of social interaction Invitations are rarely given to Connor anymore.

As soon as he noticed that someone sent him a letter, Connor, who was studying how to refine alchemy puppets in the apartment, was startled. He subconsciously thought that Margaret was contacting him. Margaret had contacted him in this way before. The reason why he was shocked was because he and Margaret had just met, and Margaret contacted him again in just a few days, which is obviously not a good thing!

And when Connor took the letter out of his mailbox, he found that he was very wrong. This was not a letter from Margaret at all, but a letter from his family.

That's right, this letter is a letter from the Ferguson family to Connor. The patterns on the letter that belonged exclusively to the Ferguson family and the name of the sender, Martinez, all prove this point. Martinez is the chief steward of the Ferguson family. According to Kang Inner's memory is that when he was young, the old Ferguson was spending time outside every day, and the hereditary knight breathing method of the Ferguson family was taught to him by Martinez, the old housekeeper who had served in the Ferguson family for decades instead of the old Ferguson. .

After pondering for a while, Connor opened the letter. It has been more than a year and almost two years since he came to this world, but because of the awkwardness between the original owner and the old Ferguson, he has never had any contact with the Ferguson family. Today Ferguson The family took the initiative to contact him, but he was a little curious, what is the purpose of the Ferguson family?

Opening the letter, Connor saw the exact same handwriting on the letter paper as he remembered of Butler Martinez.

At the very beginning of this letter, it was about the concern of Butler Martinez about whether Connor had enough money and how far he had practiced the Knight Breathing Technique. Then the old butler changed the subject and said that old Ferguson wanted to He hinted that Connor would immediately return to Frosinone, the important town in the northeastern part of the empire where his family is located, after graduating from Green University next year.

Seeing this, Connor couldn't help thinking deeply. In his memory, although Old Ferguson spent a lot of time, his strength has steadily reached the realm of a great knight, and his life level has been greatly improved. Normally speaking, A great knight, although a hundred years old may be exaggerated, but at least seventy years old is absolutely stable, just like this old butler of the Ferguson family, Martinez, who is also a great knight, is over eighty years old and still very Tough!

But now, although the letter from the old housekeeper is very subtle, cryptic, and unexplained, the meaning of the rare seniority in the letter is very clear. That is, the old father of the original owner is also the old Earl Ferguson, the head of the Ferguson family. The situation is getting worse... Realizing this, Connor's eyes immediately narrowed. If he remembers correctly, Old Fogg is only fifty years old this year. Alcoholism has hollowed out his body. With his background as a great knight, he dare not say anything else. There is absolutely no problem in living to the age of sixty. There is a full ten years difference between the age of fifty and the age of sixty!

You must know that with the improvement of the life level of the great knight's realm, it is basically impossible for the great knight to get sick under normal circumstances. The reduction in the lifespan of the great knight is mainly due to serious injuries in the battle, and the injury is so short-lived!

And with Martinez's old butler's devotion to the Ferguson family for decades, Connor didn't think his old man would joke with him about it, so there must be something else about old Ferguson! Connor once again thought of the communication between him and Lindelof, a senior wizard apprentice of the Celta Church, which deepened Connor's guess about the physical condition of old Ferguson.

Connor only discovered the direct reason why Martinez's old butler sent him this letter. A week later, Desilio Ranieri, an important figure in the New World East Hoy Company, will return from the New World The Bernabéu, the capital of the empire, made a financial report to the shareholders' meeting of East Hoy on behalf of the management of East Hoy! And the first stop of his return from the New World is Ruen. This Mr. Desilio Ranieri will land from Ruen and after a short rest, he will take the train to the Bernabéu, the imperial capital.

And what does this have to do with Connor and the Ferguson family? Why did the old butler send a letter to Connor specifically because of this matter? The reason is very simple. This Mr. Desilio Ranieri was born in the Ranieri family, another big earl family in the empire. Desilio is the younger brother of the current head of the Ranieri family, Count John Ranieri.

The Ranieri family and the Ferguson family have a tradition of friendship from generation to generation. They both belong to the hereditary noble camp. The wife of Paul Ranieri of the Family Knights is the old Ferguson's cousin. If you count it seriously, even Connor himself has the blood of the Ranieri family in theory.

Back to the topic, returning to Loen from the New World is the fastest boat sailing day and night at full power, and the Goddess of Storms doesn't face the storm, at least it will take a month and a half to do it. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to travel from the New World to Loen without three months. Therefore, after several months of wandering at sea, there are basically few people who would choose to leave immediately after returning to Loen from the New World without special reasons. Ruen always chooses to stay in the bustling and lively Ruen for a while to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

And this is no exception for this Mr. Desilio Ranieri. He is expected to land in Loen five days later, and as a senior executive of the New World East Hoy Company, it is impossible for him to leave Loen immediately. He needs to connect with the capitalists, factory owners, and nobles here in Loen, and exchange pleasantries for a while.
