Ch.4 The mage

 

 

Watching the retreating figure of his uncle, LinYun looked to the two thugs

brought by Jimmy and asked “what are you for?, dinner ?”

The two thugs who were petrified, came back to their senses “Ah, we’re going...”

After the two thugs, the mansion became quite again. Lin Yun helped the old

butler to sit on a chair and bandaged his arm, But the old butler was frowning

and asked”Young master, about the 8000 GC, what will we do?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll find a solution” Lin Yun said casually. That wasn’t because he

didn’t have any sense for money. On the contrary, he was more frugal than

anyone else. However for a magician whose abilities are better than anyone in

this era, 8000 GC were nothing. He had many ways to earn this amount in 3

days.

 

Despite how cleanly Lin Yun dealt with Jimmy, his mind was a mess. He’d just

experienced reincarnation, and occupied unfamiliar body. How could he have

time to worry about insignificant 8000 GC.

 

The old butler couldn't help but notice the awkward look on the young master’s

face. He became anxious and said”Young master, we can’t really secure this

amount of money for the time being. In order to pay the creditors, and

compensate the victims’ families, we sold all of our properties ”

“I remember that father transferred the ownership of the alchemy shop under

my name, when he was alive”

Lin Yun said after carefully searching Mafa’s memories. The alchemy shop was

under Mafa’s name, but was managed by Rogge. Rogge did this so that it

becomes easier for Mafa to buy magic materials.

 

“The shop’s still there, but …..”

“But what?”

“The three alchemists who were working there, left after the accident.” the old

butler said as he shook his head. The alchemists were the most element in the

alchemy industry. The old master spent a lot of money to hire those three

alchemists. If they stayed then, restoring the Goldshire business and paying the

8000GC wasn’t a difficult task.

 

Unfortunately, the three alchemists left. Even if there were magic materials left

in the shop, they weren’t worth much without an alchemist to turn them into

potions. If they were sold as raw materials, they wouldn’t fetch 8000 GC.

 

“I’m still here, Let’s wait and see”

 

The old butler felt that Mafa was different. After he fainted in the morning and

woke up, it seems as if he became another person. The old Mafa wouldn’t deal

with his uncle this way.

When he burned Jimmy’s right hand, he watched him screaming and groaning

on the ground without any change in his expressions.

Just a few days ago, he was sighing and compalinig all day.

 

The old butler thought Mafa was growing up, but the old master wasn’t here to

witness that anymore.

 

While the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside. A young man in his

twenties entered through the door. He was wearing a black robe whose sleeves

were embroidered with the mark of a wyvern. That was the standard robe of

Auckland Academy, the best magic academy on the east of the kingdom.

 

It was obvious that this man was a student at Auckland magic academy who

advanced to the level of official mage, as mages were the only ones allowed to

wear black robes.

 

When the young man saw Pavio bandaged and covered in dust, his face

changed “Mafa Merlin, look at what you did. My father has been working for

your Merlin’s family for 30 years,now I have to clean your mess. Is that how

you repay him. Why do you want him to suffer like this?

“Raymond, shut up” the old butler yelled at his son.

 

Raymond couldn’t hold himself and began shouting without confirming the

situation first. His old man has been working for Merlin family for 30 years. Now,

the Goldshire chamber of commerce had declined, but he stayed to take care

of the young master.

 

After he heard the news about the accident, Raymond has been worried that

something would happen to his father, so he applied for a 10 days holiday and

rushed to thousand sails city. Along the way, he heard that Farion, Rogge’s

cousin took Jimmy and went to collect the debt.

 

Raymond grew up in thousand sails city, so how could he not be aware of

Jimmy’s reputation. When he rushed to Merlin family’s mansion and saw the

old butler like this, he lashed at Lin Yun.

 

To tell the truth, Raymond could never tolerate the sight of this young master.

Because his father was wealthy and powerful man, he could afford to spend a

lot of money on his magic studies, ever since he started. His father simply gave

him an alchemy shop, which consumed more than 100,000 GC every year.

 

Despite all that, he couldn’t advance to the rank of official mage. So many years

passed, and so many resources were consumed, but he remained a 9 level

mage apprentice. Raymond thought that if he was given these resources, his

achievements would be unmatched.

 

Later, Raymond became a mage himself, then went to see Mafa but he held no

jealousy in his heart. A mage would never envy an apprentice due to the huge

gap between them. They belonged to different worlds.

 

“Young master, I’m really sorry. This bastard shouting without knowing anything.

I’m going to teach him a lesson and make him apologize ”

 

“Never mind, Raymond is still young, being impulsive is normal ” Lin Yun said

as he went to the door

“Right, Raymond, your father is injured and needs rest. If you have nothing to

do, then accompany me to the Goldshire.”

 

“Wha...” Raymond didn’t know what to say. Does this bastard want to die, How

can a 9 level apprentice order an official mage around.

 

It was a pity though. The mage didn’t have the time to get angry because the

old butler got angry first “ Bastard, what are you angry about?”

 

“Fine, i’ll go” Raymond had no mother since childhood. So he was respectful

and fearful of his father. When the old butler got angry, the dignity of the mage

vanished into thin air. After he confirmed that his father injuries weren’t serious,

He took his wand and chased after Lin Yun.

 

It took 20 minutes, from the Merlins’ mansion to the Goldshire. Along the way,

Raymond gave Lin Yun a cold stare. He couldn’t wait for him to embarrass

himself. Thinking about it, Raymond was certain that an apprentice who came

in contact with a mage, wouldn’t miss that chance. Just forming the mana

vortex alone would take a long time to explain. If Mafa wasn’t a fool, he would

certainly come and ask questions one after another. And just like this, Raymond

was waiting.
