What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 88 Lord Xia Ya
On the winding road, a convoy of more than 20 horse-drawn carriages drove forward without any haste. At the end, six iron-backed rhinoceros dragged six giant flatbed carts, on which were placed dozens of iron-clad Big wooden box.

Colin sat in the second carriage and read carefully with a specially treated bronzing parchment in his hand.

There is a large paragraph of eloquent words on it.

In the end, the meaning summarized is actually very simple-King Alan Hawthorne of Tulun appointed Colin Wayne as the lord of Xia Ya.

On the issue of his title, Colin had actually thought about it.

It is definitely unrealistic to appoint him as a duke. On the one hand, his age and qualifications are too far behind. On the other hand, it is tantamount to His Majesty the King slapping himself in the face.

However, it is obviously inappropriate to just give a title such as the person in charge of the government affairs department, because this kind of position that can be removed at any time cannot make Colin Wayne work hard. wedding dress.

That's why Ke Lin was so curious when he got the appointment.

Lord Xia Ya!

This method of appointment has never had a precedent in the official documents of the kingdom.

Compared with His Majesty's new decree of "taking back the fief and retaining the title", this appointment is the opposite.

No knighthood.

But give a fief.

The meaning of Alan IV is obvious.

Although there is no title, the territory is yours, so you have the final say on what to do.

Of course, as a matter of fact, not many nobles would want to give away Xia Ya's land. Not only would they be burdened to block the orc invasion for Tulun, but there was almost no money in the territory, and it was like giving money to work.

Colin withdrew his gaze and looked at the coral sitting opposite him.

Glenn Knight liked to ride by himself, and Anne and Jennifer sat in the back of the carriage, so they were the only ones in the carriage.

This little girl obviously has a restless character, even if she is sitting in a small carriage, she always looks around, or touches this and that with her hands, as if she is very curious about everything.

Seeing Ke Lin looking at her, Shan Shan showed a flattering smile: "Brother..." Seeing the look in Ke Lin's eyes, she immediately stopped talking, and said a little aggrieved, "Then what do I call you?"

Apparently discovering that Colin didn't care about things in the prison, Coral finally no longer feared being retaliated.

"Are you literate?" Colin asked back.

"Of course." Shan Shan patted her chest, "I can understand Naga language."

After finishing talking, he chatted.

After listening to this, Ke Lin sighed helplessly: "It's thanks to your teacher, a priest of light, that you can live up to now with such virtue—do you think I can't understand what you're saying about me?"

"Scared?" Coral's expression changed instantly.

It is not surprising that a magician can understand elves and dwarves, but Naga only lives in the depths of the East China Sea. Except for a few necromancers who are active there, she and her teacher lived there for a period of time before. Learned by the way.

But how could a magician on the mainland, or such a young magician, be able to speak Naga?

Coral immediately babbled again.

"It's too late to praise me for being handsome now."

Ke Lin didn't bother to argue with her, he picked up the king's letter of appointment and put it in front of Shan Shan, and took it back after she read it.

"Do you know what to call me now?"

"Yes, honorable lord." The little girl immediately gave a lady's aristocratic salute on the spot, but because she was sitting, she looked nondescript.

In order to hide his shameful satisfaction, Colin opened the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and rode on his own tall horse with a yellow mane.

"Mr. Glenn, you've been riding all day, aren't you tired?"

For this taciturn knight, Colin has always been convinced.

Although he has always been ahead in chess, he still hasn't won a fight.

And no matter how much Colin thinks he has improved, he can't see any effect when fighting against Glenn.

You must know that although he did not continue to participate in the assessment, his strength has already crossed the threshold of the middle level-the senior sister was no longer his opponent a few months ago.

But in front of Glenn, no matter how he lost at the beginning level, he still lost after the middle level.

There is only one explanation for this - the strength gap between the two sides is too great, so that my little progress is completely meaningless.

About Glenn's experience, although Colin asked the teacher, the answer he got could not satisfy his curiosity.

Glenn came from a family of knights. Because Roman Sagan was kind to his father, the young Glenn volunteered to become his squire knight, and the teacher readily agreed after the test. As for why Glenn had Such a high strength, the teacher's explanation is a family tradition, and I don't want to talk about the rest.

Colin guessed that there was a story in it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Glenn saw that Colin was not very skilled in riding the horse to his side, and said:

"I like riding a horse, it's more free."

Ke Lin secretly thought: You look like you are nestled in the mage's tower all day long, and you don't seem like a person who likes freedom.

He smiled and said, "I can't, my butt hurts after sitting for a while."

"Keep your back straight, use your whole thighs and hips to bear the force, and use your knees skillfully when accelerating, just get used to it." Glenn sat on the horse very firmly.

"Been taught a lesson."

As the teacher's retinue knight, and also the biggest reliance to protect his life for a long time to come, Colin naturally respected Glenn very much.

He rode his horse and ran a few steps to the rear of the convoy according to the essentials.

The entire convoy was escorted by a special person sent by the Thunder City City Hall. After sending them off, they had to go back to pick up the rest.

The 800 students in the manor cannot be sent to Xia Ya at once.

Materials "sponsored" by His Majesty the King and Duke Violet, including weapons, food, cloth, etc., will be sent in batches together with those students.

Although these things are unlikely to help too much, at least in the early days when you are poor and white, it is better than nothing.

Colin glanced at the last big wooden box of the convoy, feeling a little happier.

It contained all his belongings now.

The 4 gold lang I earned over half a year is only part of it.

In addition, the teacher gave 6 gold lang, the senior sister personally gave 8 gold lang, Duke Violet 3 gold lang, and His Majesty 2 gold lang.

To Colin's surprise, Veronica's savings were as high as 11 gold lang.

He very much suspected that the reason why the Duke of Violet only took out 3 gold lang was because his daughter had ransacked his property.

Because there is no gold shop in Xia Ya, Ke Lin can only transport the gold coins directly.

A total of 34 gold lang, used dozens of large wooden boxes.

In Xia Ya's place, even if you have money, you can't buy anything, but the surrounding area of ​​Xia Ya is not a barren land. To the east is the territory of several nobles in Tulun, and to the west are many small countries in the southern continent and the commercial roads leading to the western continent in the early years.

Although the gold lang in Tulun is not the common currency in the Western Continent, the advantage of precious metal currency is that the value it represents is its own value, so it is not too troublesome to convert it when trading.

Because of the large number of people and heavy goods, the speed of the convoy has not been fast.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight.

After 29 days.

The guide of the team leader told Ke Lin that he had entered Xia Ya's territory.

The terrain changed from the original plains to mountains and hills in an instant, which made Colin feel chills.

He didn't know how desolate Xia Ya was until he saw it with his own eyes. After walking for two full days, he finally saw a sparsely populated village.

Because the convoy was traveling along the Longji Mountains, on the third day after entering Xia Ya, they finally saw a small-scale city. On the south side of the city, as the terrain rose, at the end was a straight, angular Majestic Fortress.

Xia Ya.

Winterhold.
