I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 281 "Wealthy Family"

There is a problem with the polluted ocean in the south.

The old man soon received the monitoring report that the pollution in the southern border had begun to cause a small-scale riot.

Pollution levels have also increased.

"Notify Grand Duke Ashes and ask him to keep a close eye on the situation in the Polluted Ocean."

The old man said calmly.

"Yes."

Someone immediately took the order and left.

It was still the thatched hut by the sea. Commands were issued quickly and the hut returned to peace.

In front of the old man, there was only a middle-aged man left, with a silent look in his eyes.

"Eliot, go to Ernst's house and invite Count Mina to see me."

"Yes." Elliot Legend accepted the order and was about to leave when the old man emphasized, "It's an invitation."

Elliot hesitated, about to speak.

Nodding, "I understand, teacher."

The old man walked out of the hut silently and went to the seashore.

The black tide under the waves at the seaside actually became clear as the old man approached, as if under some invisible pressure.

A fan-shaped pure Eastern Ocean.

The old man watched the surge quietly.

No words spoken for a long time.

In the polluted ocean in the distance, some monsters that were eyeing them with eager eyes quietly retreated.

The abnormal surge calmed down again.

A message was sent to the royal capital through the monitoring station.

"A high-energy reaction was detected in the polluted ocean in the east of the kingdom. The Grand Duke of the East said that everything is within a safe and controllable range..."
-
Mina's mother is particularly happy today.

Ansana and Lucia went shopping with Mina's mother.

Even though the territory has been built for decades, it has a fresh feeling.

The two girls also experienced for the first time the customs and practices of the Eastern Territory, and the obvious differences between the capital of Ansu and the capital of the Western Territory.

The people here are more simple and more enthusiastic. Whether they are ordinary people or extraordinary people, they all look at the two girls with curiosity.

And when Mina's mother said that these two girls were the girls Mina brought back, her eyes were even more enthusiastic.

After finishing my morning homework with Mi Xiaohu, I found that today's lunch was a little different.

It was originally agreed that Mina, the star chef, would personally prepare the meals these days, but unexpectedly, it was my mother who would cook today.

The ingredients were hand-picked by Lucia and Ansana, with Kureya helping them.

This forced Mina to take it seriously.

As soon as the soup entered my mouth, I brought back memories.

To sum it up in five words: the taste of mother.

"It's delicious. The best in the world..."

"Stop it, I can't stand you kid."

Mina's mother rolled her eyes at Mina, but her eyes were full of smiles.

After lunch, Mina, who was just about to train, was pulled by Anshana to try on clothes.

Ansana, who loves shopping the most, bought four ordinary small staffs for herself, and also bought a set of Eastern-style clothes for each of the girls.

Similarly, a few coats were selected for Mina.

The dressing style here in the East Territory is somewhat different from that of King Ansu, and is more simple and practical.

"Not bad."

Mina's mother pinched her waist and looked at Mina.

My son is really handsome. He looks handsome in whatever he wears.

"I think the black one is nice too."

Ansana was a little conflicted. She wanted to buy all the colors of a style, but in the end she could only buy one.

This is simply impossible to pick out.

Lucia nodded in satisfaction.

She chose white, and it really matches Mina.

Mina looked at herself in the mirror and always felt that something was missing.

After a moment's thought, he raised his hand.

Arcane brilliance surges.

Now Mina's magic control power has become legendary, and he can perform many fancy magic operations.

For example, using magic projection directly.

Details and color reproduction are very high.

This is a white baseball cap with a red pattern.

"Find someone to make a custom hat like this."

Mina said.

This white coat would look great if you slightly modified it and paired it with a hat like this.

"Come on, come on, change into another set, change into another set."

Ansana quickly became excited.

You can only choose one color for one style, but there are so many styles.

Ansana Lucia and Mina's mother had a great time dressing up.

Mina was in trouble.

Family members, who understands? Who can stand trying on clothes for an hour?

Mina, who had finally escaped, was blocked by his father Mist again.

"follow me."

Mister took Mina directly to the third floor of the castle, the innermost room.

In memory, the room here is Mina's restricted area.

Don't let Xiaomina get close at all.

It was previously speculated that it was Mist's study, or perhaps a treasure house.

But when Mist used special magic skills to open the door, Mina was stunned.

"This is……"

A whole room of books.

It's like a private library.

"The books here include those collected by your grandfather and those collected by our Ernst family over the generations."

Mist looked at the dull expressions of Mina and Mi Xiaohu and felt very proud.

"Originally, we were going to wait until you reached level 5 and passed the high-level training before you could come in and see us, but now it's not too late."

As he spoke, he threw a book to Mina.

"Here is the catalog. There are two books marked as important. I'll finish reading them today."

After assigning the homework, Mist ordered some Star Wine and went to drink with his buddies.

Mina held the booklet in his hand with some emotion.

The first page was the Ernst family motto.

"If you don't agree, do it."

"If you can't do it, run away."

Mina: “…”

The Ernst family does have some background.

This small library has a very large collection of books.

From basic spellcasting to advanced techniques.

There are also many tips for getting started with magic skills.

Mist arranged two must-read books, one of which is "Geography of the Ernst Family"

The other is a thin notebook.

Open it inside.

It is the construction of the magic emblem and beacon of the Ernst family, and also the method to unlock the magic lock of the Ernst family.

Some require natural elements, others are a combination of arcane and fire.

And pure magic.

There are a total of thirty-nine commonly used ones, and more than a hundred uncommon ones.

Mina was also speechless.

There are twenty-one types of magic locks left by Mina's grandfather Milberos alone.

A flame and shadow lock, and thirteen kinds were created.

Even the magic power needs to be adjusted.

outrageous.

And open the "Ernst Family Geography" which is similar to a geographical magazine

Mina was shocked.

a long time ago.

The Ernst family can be said to be the leading force in the Senan Hill area.

But as times change.

Family decline.

Retreat to the eastern border of this continent.

Originally, the territory in Milberos, which was the generation of Mina's grandfather, was pretty good.

But when Mist took over, only this much territory was left.

In fact, it is not as big as Mina's current territory in the south.

Of course, Mist also lived a comfortable life.

At least, the territory is small, so you won’t be bothered by all kinds of troubles.

Mina is still somewhat curious about the books left by his grandfather.

This is a summer vacation dedicated to tidying up.

There are some basics of shadow and fire in there.

Most of them are Shadow Warrior training methods.

There are also some tips for shadow assassins. I don't know if they are useful. I can take them with me and show them to Kuleiya. Mina also saw some arcane skills, some very old-fashioned techniques.

This made Mina's eyes light up.

"Not bad, let's see this tonight."

Mina found a notebook of Milberos.

It's not the kind of explanation of fusion techniques that we had before.

Just some travel experiences from my youth.

Mina found it quite interesting and stuffed it into his backpack.

From other ancestors, Mina pulled out a book on wind-related techniques and a miscellaneous book on dragon relics.

When he came out, Mina finally understood why his father had insisted that he stay here and memorize the solutions to those magic locks.

There were five books in total. I read them in this library without any obstacles. But when I took them out, I felt a magical power attacking me.

It was as if some magical power had sealed these five books.

Only by unlocking the corresponding magic locks can these books be taken out of the library.

There are fifth-level and sixth-level ones. Mina even found a book that can only be taken out after being unlocked by legendary magic control power.

At first glance, it turned out to be my grandfather's notebook.

"Isn't this note just a record of some gossip?"

Mina's eyes suddenly became expectant.

Is there any gossip that you shouldn’t know?
He will study it carefully tonight.

My mother still cooked dinner, but the mood of this meal was obviously not as high as that at noon.

And when he was eating, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?" Mina asked carefully.

Mina's mother gave Mina a sidelong look and asked, "Did you give your father some wine?"

Mina immediately shut her mouth.

"This old guy's leg injury hasn't fully healed yet, and all he does is drink..."

Listening to her mother's babble, Mina also chuckled.

"I mixed some dragon bone powder into Dad's star wine to strengthen the body, and also soaked it in ancient dragon blood crystals."

My mother immediately shut her mouth and looked at Mina for a long while before suddenly asking, "Is there such a thing as bird's nest red wine?"

Mina: “???”

Mom, is that stuff you're talking about really drinkable?

But since the mother has made the request, Mina will naturally satisfy it.

A delicious bowl of bird's nest red wine made Mina's mother squint her eyes and look very happy.

Mina sighed as she returned to her room.

I guess I can't stay here for half a month.

Those who understand will understand.

Called a few girls over.

Divide the books in your hands and read them directly.

Mi Xiaohu took out his "Guide to Breeding the Nine-Tailed Fox" and read it attentively.

Mina, on the other hand, opened his grandfather's handwritten notes and read them with great interest.

Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you grit your teeth, it's as exciting as reading a novel.

However, when Mina saw the chapter about the journey south in the notebook, and the names of the two former guides.

Suddenly I was stunned.

Erwin and Shananya.

The name of Senior Shananya, who had been dead for sixty-seven years, unexpectedly appeared in Grandpa's notes.

Moreover, he addressed the two of them as guide, senior, big brother, big sister and so on.

At this time, Mina suddenly remembered what Big Sister Isara said to him when she learned that Shanania and Elvin had fallen in Moonglade.

"In fact, this Shananya is a legendary assassin in our Silver Hand. They also have an apprentice who is quite famous in the Silver Hand. You will never guess who he is."

Could this person be his grandfather?

Mina continued to move forward.

Saw some snippets.

"The Wind and Thunder Tail is in your territory. If you want to contract a jewel fox in the future, you can go and take a look."

"Forget about that tail. The one you have seems to be a fake. I saw one in the South Territory."

"The pollution in the south is worse than I thought."

"The ancient dragon ruins are in the southern border. You can't go there, so I can go there by myself."

……

There is no more. Shananya and Elvin left the young Milberos in the North and went to the South.

At that time, the ruler of the South Territory was still the Grand Duke of the South Territory.

"What happened next..."

Mina flipped through it again to make sure he hadn't missed any magical information.

The content ends here.

Mina glanced at the sky and saw that it was already night.

The three girls were all reading their respective tutorial materials with great interest.

It didn't bother me.

Let's go to the library and look for it tomorrow.

Mina thought.

Maybe I can find some missed notes.

But this possibility is relatively small.

After all, there is only this one book of grandpa’s notes in the book catalog.

Oh, that's right.

Mina suddenly remembered.

I also got two notebooks before.

One is in the southern territory, collected by the Grand Duke of Ashes.

One of them is in the hands of the Grand Duke of Silver.

And after all, there seem to be three books in total in that series.

Where is the last one?

Mina thought about it and decided to ask Sister Mel tomorrow. If that didn't work, she would have to ask the Silver Duke for help.

"Minami Namina."

At this moment, Ansana suddenly looked up.

He turned the wind-related teaching aid in his hand over to Mina.

"Look here, does it look like the back mountain?"

Ansana asked directly.

Back mountain?

Mina looked at the secret ruins called "Wind and Thunder Bee Valley" and was silent for a moment, thinking for a while.

Suddenly I remembered that when I was watching the stars with Lucia last night, I saw the hill behind the castle.

At the end of the field of vision, there seemed to be a place surrounded by a group of mountains.

Is it right there?

"wait a moment."

Mina pulled out a detailed map of Ernst's territory, and also pulled out a map of the entire Ansu territory given to him by the Ansu royal family.

I compared the locations in the book and circled one of the places based on the "Geography of the Ernst Family" I read today.

"It should be right here."

Mina said.

"That's right." Ansana nodded and said, "Should we go and take a look?"

She looked at Mina. She knew that Mina had reached the golden limit of "Popularity".

Almost able to break through the stars.

Just looked around for this.

This book records many wind-related ruins mazes in Ansu and even the Kalos area.

But the nearest one - and it seems to be the only one in Ernst's territory.

Ansana looked at Mina and said with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to find a wind-related ruin to visit? Let's go there tomorrow."
-
The border between Ernst and Bocaster territories.

That huge arc-shaped mineral vein.

Standing in the nearest town on the Pocaster Territory side, looking in that direction, one can still see the bright lights of the mining area.

"Sir, are we really not going to Ernst today?"

The maid was a little worried.

The Marquis ordered us to visit Count Mina today, but it seems that the master doesn't care.

A smile appeared on Gavric's lips. He pinched the maid's chin and reached in with his other hand to grab a handful.

"Master is tired from inspecting the mines today and working on Master Elliot's gift."

He smiled and pinched her again, and the maid screamed in pain before letting go.

"Come to my room tonight and let the young master relax."

Enjoy life while you are alive, as for Mina, we will talk about it tomorrow.

Father is right.

Only legend is the kingly way.

As long as the magic crystal this time satisfies Lord Elliot.

Give my father a chance. Once he reaches the legendary level, the status of their Bocaster family will immediately be different.
-
Elliot, dressed in plain clothes, stood in the small town of Ernst, looking towards the castle.

There were memories, thoughts, sadness, and some reverence in his eyes, but in the end it all turned into a sigh.

"It's such a pity for that kid Mist."

He closed his eyes and returned to meditation.

However, the son of that kid Mist and the grandson of that man actually attracted so much attention from the Grand Duke.

Mina, what on earth is going on.

He is looking forward to it.
