Chapter 22 Maid Knight Catherine
Celine Knowles, Magister, Master of Rune Arrays with a special inheritance of Rune Arrays, Senior Tutor of the Royal Mage Academy of the Kaya Empire.
Excluding the great mage, the Dean of the Academy, Celine is one of the most powerful mages in the academy.
Under this premise, I also considered that I do seem to have a little "talent" in rune formation learning.
Brand felt that becoming her disciple seemed pretty good.
Afterwards, after another conversation, I learned more about Celine’s “background”.
Brand expressed his willingness to become the chief disciple of Ms. Celine Knowles.
“Since you have agreed, you will be my chief disciple, Celine Knowles.
This is the meeting gift I prepared for you. It contains my mage badge and If you have some advanced knowledge of rune formations, you can just report my name when you are out and about."
After saying this, Xilin hesitated and said:
"Just skip the apprenticeship ceremony. I don't like those red tapes.
In addition, I accepted you as a disciple two months ago. You must remember this, otherwise there may be some trouble. .”
Before returning to the grand banquet hall, Brand didn’t quite understand what his teacher’s last words meant.
But when he returned to the grand banquet hall, Professor Morian pulled him aside and asked him who his teacher was? When did you become a master?
Brand understood it all at once!
Facing the curious and inquiring eyes of the onlookers.
Thinking about the strength and background of his teacher, and the amethyst space necklace strung with fine silver that he gave him.
Brand said frankly:
“I am the chief disciple of Ms. Celine Knowles. Two months ago, I was favored by my teacher, and we formed a master-disciple relationship.”
……
Several days have passed since the farewell dinner.
Because the college has entered the break period, Brand’s classmates have left the college one after another in the past few days.
Brand, because he was accepted as a disciple by Celine, wanted to get closer to his teacher and get to know each other better, so he stayed in the academy for a few days.
This morning, Brand packed his bags and walked towards the gate of the college.
——After delaying for so many days, he was finally ready to go home.
Because Salute has been packed into the space equipment given to him by his teacher, Brand is now empty-handed.
Brand expressed great satisfaction with the meeting gift given to him by his teacher.
Not to mention it looks great.
The most important thing is that there are ten cubic meters of space inside.
You know, the price of a cubic meter space bag on the market is as high as 300 magic gold coins.
Brand's space necklace, which contains ten cubic meters, is enough to serve as the grand finale treasure of a provincial auction.
The price is difficult to estimate!
For this reason, Brand decided to hug his teacher's "thick legs" tightly.
......
On the high tower in the center of the Mage Academy, Celine Knowles's studio.
Looking at the back of the figure walking towards the gate of the college in the distance, Dean Andrew couldn't help but curiously asked Celine Knowles, who was sitting on the workbench drawing the base of the magic circle:
"Little Celine, seeing how happy you are, Brand's talent should be pretty good, right?"
After hearing the dean's voice, Celine slowly put down the pen in her hand and moved a bit. wrist.
After pouring coffee powder from the jar on the side and making herself a cup of fresh coffee, she responded casually:
“You said Brand, he is simply stupid. ! ”
Originally, Andrew just asked casually, but after hearing Celine's answer, he was a little stunned.
“What did you say?”
Andrew wondered if he heard wrongly.
"Unfathomable! Unable to be cultivated!"
Celine clearly repeated the words describing Brand's talent, this time adding an additional adjective. After confirming that he heard correctly, Andrew's expression was very strange, but after thinking about it, he suddenly said:
"Yes, he is indeed a bit outstanding. Only by pressing him can he grow better."
After saying this, Andrew said symbolically "worried":
"Is Brand okay with the test in two years' time? I don't want your grandpa to ridicule me for depriving you of resources next time we meet."
"This is still okay."
Seeing Celine changing her previous evaluation and showing full confidence in Brand, Andrew also smiled slightly.
Considering that the atmosphere is very harmonious now, the timing is more appropriate.
Dean Andrew finally began to explain his purpose.
Pointing to the coffee in Celine's hand, he said curiously:
"I wanted to ask during the meeting yesterday, what brand of refreshing potion are you drinking? Where can I buy it? ”
...
"Master! This way."
As soon as he walked out of the academy gate, Brand heard a familiar voice.
Turning around and looking over, there was a knight girl wearing silver-white women's full-body armor, a knight's sword hanging on her waist, long golden slightly curly hair, and a smile on her face, standing in a carriage. The edge waved to him.
Although this girl is dressed as a knight, she is actually Brand's maid.
——Catherine.
Because she sold herself to the Holland family since she was a child, she does not have a surname.
The Holland family has relatively benevolent regulations on the management of family slaves.
As long as it can show enough value and make enough contributions to the Holland family.
Then they can be given the status of free people or even retainers, thereby breaking away from slavery.
But unfortunately, compared with her maid, Catherine's road is longer.
The main thing is that she did something in the past that is difficult to be forgiven.
——Deliberately harming the descendants of nobles.
The starting point of the matter was about half a year ago.
When Brand was playing with a group of maids in the garden, in full view of the public, Catherine "suddenly forced" Brand to a pillar and broke his head.
At that time, Viscount Holland was out discussing business, and Yersen had the final say in matters in the entire territory.
Originally, Yersin was planning to execute Catherine directly according to the rules.
However, Brand, who regained consciousness, stopped Yersin in time.
As a client, Brand saw clearly that Catherine did not "suddenly exert force", but "suddenly gained strength."
——Katherine has an extraordinary bloodline, which she awakened for a moment while playing with Brand.
Brand, who was aware of this fact, did not tell Yersen the truth of the matter.
Just let Catherine re-sign a more stringent slave contract.
But this time the slave owners were not the Holland family. Brand wrote his name with a wave of his hand.
Although Brand's "indecisiveness" was scolded by Yersen, Mr. Holland also frowned on it after he came back.
However, Brand still succeeded in transferring Catherine to his own name and exempted her from the death penalty.
As the second son of a viscount, the scale of the family business is not large and does not require the assistance of relatives in management.
So if there are no unexpected circumstances, Brand will be independent from Hollandburg in the future.
Before becoming independent, Brand will of course want to dig into Mr. Holland's corner and form his own team.
As for concealing Catherine’s extraordinary bloodline, Brand was considerate of Yersen’s mental health.
After all, because Catherine injured Brand, the power to deal with Catherine fell into Brand's hands.
So even if the truth of the matter is announced, Yersin can only help Brand to put Catherine under his own name.
——This is not conducive to family harmony!
Brand is a man who cares about his family!
Of course, it is obviously impossible to leave Catherine to Yersen or something.
As a qualified descendant of a noble family, the delicious food that comes to your mouth must be swallowed in one bite, and there is no possibility of giving it to anyone!
