Chapter 193 Little Mage
Count Malzkent of Emden has been a little uneasy recently.
I can’t tell what’s going on, but I’m just feeling flustered for no reason.
He thought to himself, could it be because Teacher Barnett hasn't been here for a long time?
Although this mysterious mage had come and gone without a trace in the past and only came to his territory occasionally, it was too unusual to just let him go after he revealed his future plans.
Fortunately, when Barnett left last time, he gave him a detailed explanation of what he was going to do in the future, and told Malzkent: If he was entangled in other things and couldn't escape, he should act according to the plan.
This at least kept the Earl of Kent from flying around like a headless fly.
But it doesn’t seem like things are going too smoothly on Barnett’s side.
According to the plan, he should incite the pirates in the Northwest Gulf to attack the coastal territories, and then the Kent family will send troops to quell the pirates, so as to accumulate his prestige in the minds of the coastal lords and 'inherit' the Duke of the Northwest in the future. Create conditions for your great position.
But there seems to be no movement now.
News about pirates did come, but they were wiped out by the Greiman family of Alda. These pirates are really useless, even such a weak family can easily deal with them.
But it’s that Paul Greenman again. I spared him last time, but why is this guy still jumping like this and ruining his good deeds?
Teacher Barnett has been slow to arrive. Do you want to bypass the pirates and start the next step directly?
The Earl of Kent was indecisive all day long. Under his worry, he drank a few more glasses of that special "drink".
On this day, he was reading books in the study, hoping that in this way he would not feel so anxious.
Suddenly the guard came to report that a child asked to see him. The Earl of Kent was furious. Why did everyone want to see him so casually? What did this guard do?
He was about to scold the guard, but the guard seemed to have anticipated the Earl's reaction and quickly added: "He said he knew Master Barnett!"
"You idiot! Still! Please hurry up and invite him in!”
Maltz Kent is really furious this time! Why is this guard so ignorant?
“Invite him to the hall!”
The earl roared loudly, and the guards responded submissively and left.
Maltz Kent immediately changed into clean clothes, hurried to the castle hall, sat on the main seat and waited for the visitor.
After a while, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside, and the guards led a person in.
"Really...really...really a child?"
Earl Kent couldn't believe his eyes.
At first, he just thought that the other party was younger, so the guard said that a child was visiting him.
But the person walking into the hall now is indeed a little boy who looks like he is in his early ten years! The little guy was also holding a strange-shaped wooden stick in his hand. The wooden stick was taller than his body and felt very uncoordinated.
"Earl of Kent! Hello...Hello! My name is Andy, and I have come to help you according to Master Barnett's instructions."
The little boy has blond hair and a bright face. The chubby one looks very cute, but he stutters when speaking and seems very nervous and shy.
The count was stunned. The other party became even more nervous when he saw that he didn't reply. He stood coquettishly at the door, neither entering nor retreating.
"Uh...cough! Who are you?" He didn't hear clearly what the little boy just said.
"My...my name is Andy, and I am here to assist you according to Master Barnett's instructions."
Andy repeated again stammeringly.
"Come here and talk!"
The Earl had a serious face. To be honest, he really didn't know how to deal with it now, so he had to show his usual dignified look.
"Yes...yes, Lord Earl!"
Andy immediately jogged to the Earl of Kent's side.
"You said you were ordered by Master Barnett to come to help me. How can you prove that you are not lying?" "This..."
Andy He tilted his little head, seeming to be worried about how to prove it.
"Is this okay?"
The little boy heard an unknown language coming out of his mouth, and then he hit the ground with the wooden stick in his hand.
With a whoosh, the top of the wooden staff ignited a flame.
"Ah! You are...you are..."
The count's eyes almost popped out of his head. The little kid in front of him actually had the power he dreamed of.
"Yes, I am a mage who belongs to the Secret Law Society."
Andy admitted in a low voice.
"Master Andy...please sit down!"
The awe of the mage made Earl Kent's attitude suddenly turn 180 degrees, and his voice softened. The tone of voice is also much lower.
"I cannot bear the title of master, you should just call me by my name."
Obviously Andy was not used to the title "Master". He shook his head uneasily and quickly corrected the other person's statement.
"Well, little friend Andy, please sit down quickly."
The little boy then sat on a chair next to the count.
God is unfair! The earl exclaimed in his heart.
Such a young child can swim in the sea of magic, but he is still shut out. It is really infuriating.
Of course, he would not show it on his face, and immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "Where has Master Barnett gone?"
Andy shook his head: "I don't know, who am I?" He ordered me to come to your castle at this time a few months ago, saying that he wanted me to help the lord here. I thought I would see him here. "
The Earl of Kent was very disappointed.
“Where did you come from?”
“A stronghold of the Arcana Society, I cannot disclose the specific location.”
"Then how did you get here?"
Don't say that you, a child, traveled all the way to the northwest bay, or that your stronghold is right under my nose.
But the Earl of Kent thought he had such tight control over his territory that he could detect the entry and exit of a fly.
"We were escorted here by other companions. We disguised ourselves as business travelers and came over smoothly."
Are there other mages traveling to the northwest? I don’t know if I can find a way to meet him.
"Now that Teacher Barnett is not here, can you help me by yourself?"
The little boy said a little uncertainly: "I can control brain worms, can this help you?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The Earl of Kent was overjoyed. Barnett told him that that time he used a special insect to sneak into Duke Ferdinand’s body and used this insect to control the Duke’s body. brain.
When he first found out, he felt goosebumps all over his body. What would it be like if there was a bug moving in his mind? He shuddered at the thought of this.
As long as the Duke can be manipulated, other things will be easy to handle even without Barnet.
