Girenius and Roja were watching the commotion from the sidelines when Girenius suddenly asked, "What's wrong, Rudius? Did you break up with your lover?"
Rudius sighed, "He was just kicked out of the house by Paul."
Looking at the letter, Rudius continued reading: "As for your compensation, you will receive two Asura silver coins each month. Although this amount is lower than the rate for a tutor, it is quite a lot for a child's allowance. You should find time to go to town and learn how to use money. Because if you don't practice spending it regularly, you won't know how to use it properly in an emergency. However, I feel that my excellent son should be able to spend money very well even without studying... Ah, no matter what, you must not use it to buy women."
Roya narrowed his eyes slightly, exchanged a glance with Rudius, and both revealed a strange smile.
"Tsk." Kyrie Irvine looked at their expressions and knew without them saying a word what they were thinking.
Also, it turns out that Roya is this kind of person.
I was really deceived by his appearance.
Is it fair to say he's Paul's son?
"If you can persist for five years and properly teach the young lady to read, write, do arithmetic, and perform magic, then the contract stipulates that the other party will pay the equivalent of three people's tuition fees for magic university as a special reward."
Rudius continued reading, "However, five years from now, Sylphie may not still be willing to stay with you, and you may change your mind because your feelings have cooled. So we will have to communicate with Sylphie properly."
When Rudius saw this, he felt completely disgusted. What did he mean by "you should communicate properly"? But no matter what, the deed was done. He looked down again and stopped at the very end. Rudius glanced at it but didn't read it aloud this time because it was a pointless statement.
[I hope that in these five years, you will be able to learn all sorts of new knowledge in a completely new environment and achieve a significant leap forward. — Your wise and wonderful father, Paul.]
Rudius didn't want to utter this self-praise.
He carefully put the envelope away and handed it to Gilead. Gilead waved his hand and said, "Just read it aloud. You can keep this letter."
Rudius turned his gaze to Roya, his eyes asking the boy if he wanted the letter.
Roya curled his lip and waved his hand; he didn't want Paul the scum's letter.
Rudius had no choice but to put the letter in his pocket; he didn't really want to keep it.
This shows just how bad Paul's reputation is.
After a moment's thought, he turned his gaze to Roya and said, "That's not right, brother. You seem to be perfectly fine. You just spend your days learning swordsmanship from Kyrie Irvine."
Roya said lazily, "You said it yourself, I have to learn swordsmanship from Kyrie Irwin every day. How can you say there's nothing going on? Please, I'm very busy. I'm responsible for the rise and fall of the family. If something happens to you one day, I can still help you with my powerful strength."
Rudius nodded. The reason was reasonable and convincing. Yeah, right!
Rudius shouted, "Brother, you're being too despicable! You're getting all the benefits. No way, you have to do your part too!"
Roya fell into deep thought, and he frowned as he thought of Alice's personality.
She's not an easy person to get along with.
But as Rudius said, he couldn't just stay at the other party's house without doing anything.
After a moment of contemplation, Roya said, "How about this, I'll teach for two years. For the first two years, I'll teach Alice magic, and you can teach her arithmetic and other things. Is that alright?"
Rudius tried to bargain, saying that teaching magic alone wasn't enough, but Roja glared at him fiercely, instantly extinguishing his thoughts of haggling.
Rudius thought about it for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. His math skills were definitely not bad. After all, he had transmigrated from a small island nation on Earth in his previous life. In this world where there were no multiplication tables, he was definitely a genius. So there shouldn't be much of a problem.
As for magic, although I am extremely skilled at it, it seems I am not good enough compared to Roya. He is also quite good at teaching magic.
But he probably didn't know that a nightmare awaited him. Knowledge is something that can only be acquired if the other party is willing to learn.
Whether Alice will learn magic or not, Roya doesn't know, but she definitely won't want to learn arithmetic.
At least they won't be so obedient in learning arithmetic and the like.
Magic can be linked to novelty, so Alice might not cause too much trouble. As for math and such, aren't you making things difficult for our future Mad Dog Lord?
That's why Roya pushed the most troublesome task onto Rudius.
Looking at the grinning Rudius, he thought he had gotten the better deal, but that wasn't the case. If both magic and arithmetic were taught by the same person, the other person might try to listen patiently. But if it was just arithmetic, well, Rudius was in for a rough time.
The carriage traveled slowly and smoothly, and Luo Ya took a short nap because he was so bored.
By the time they arrived, it was already dusk. The village of Bouyena was a distance that would take a whole day to reach by horse-drawn carriage.
Converted to actual time, it takes about six or seven hours. It's a bit far, but it's also quite close.
Chapter 46 Arrival
Kyrie Ilse coldly woke Roya, who found Rudius wearing a strange smile when he woke up. This smile instantly startled Roya awake from his last bit of sleepiness.
Roya said displeasedly, "Rudius, what are you laughing at?"
Rudius suppressed a laugh and muttered, "I wonder what the other person will think when they see you like this. They'll probably mistake you for a girl, right?"
At this point, Rudius subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
A blonde, aloof, and arrogant girl like Roya could easily be knocked unconscious and sold for gold coins if she went out.
The prerequisite is that you have to be able to knock them out.
Meeting Ludius's ill-intentioned gaze, Roya scoffed disdainfully, slightly straining his right arm, causing his previously well-proportioned biceps to bulge. Roya curled his lip and said, "If you have the strength, why not give it a try?"
Rudius swallowed, his expression slightly unnatural.
I was reminded of the time when I was taught a lesson by Roya.
"Hurry up and stop chatting over there," Kyrie Irvine's cold voice rang out.
This town truly lives up to its reputation as the largest metropolis in the area; it's brimming with vitality.
The first thing that catches the eye is the city wall.
The city is surrounded by a sturdy wall that is about seven to eight meters high.
Horse-drawn carriages came and went around the huge city gate on the city wall, and after entering the city gate, you could see a row of open-air vendors.
Not far after entering the town, there are several shops that resemble stables and inns.
Seeing people in armor mingling among ordinary townspeople and merchants was truly a "fantasy" experience.
A strong sense of a Western fantasy world washes over you.
Just then, a middle-aged man who was setting up a stall saw the group and said enthusiastically, "Miss, would you like an apple?"
Luo Ya, who was walking ahead, sighed helplessly. He looked at the middle-aged man with a serious face and said, "Shouldn't you say, 'Hey buddy, want an apple?'"
At this point, Luo Ya's lips twitched involuntarily. Why did these words sound so familiar? He was not the anonymous Natsuki Subaru.
At that moment, Rudius suddenly noticed people carrying large amounts of luggage sitting in what looked like a waiting area.
"Gilead, do you know what that is?" Rudius asked curiously.
"...I'm saying you..." Upon hearing Ludius's question, Kyrie Irvine showed an unhappy expression.
"Are you looking down on me?"
Rudius was startled by Gilead's fierce glare.
He hurriedly explained, "No. I just don't know what it is, so I wanted to trouble you to tell me..."
Kyrie Irvine tilted his head and said, "Oh, sorry, is that what you mean?"
There are too many flaws to mention, so I won't go into them.
He had figured out Girenau's personality; she seemed scary, but was actually very kind, and in some ways, she was just naturally naive.
Although "naturally naive" is generally used to describe cute and innocent young girls, not big guys.
But she is definitely naturally naive.
Seeing Ludius's almost tearful expression, Girenius quickly replied, "That's the waiting area for public carriages. Generally, people use those carriages when moving from one town to another, or they pay merchants some money for a ride."
Afterwards, it became clear that both of them were newbies who had just left the starting village. Girenu pointed to each shop and told them which one was a weapon shop, which one was a tavern, which one was a branch of the Adventurers' Guild, and which one was "that kind" of suspicious shop.
After passing through a corner of the town, the atmosphere changed.
The roadside was lined with weapon shops and armor shops, the kind of shops that catered specifically to adventurers. Further on, the shops seemed to be geared towards town residents.
It was well planned.
When enemies attack from the outside, the people around the gate are responsible for defending them first, while the town's residents can take advantage of this time to escape to the depths of the town or in the opposite direction.
Because of this construction method, as you go further in, you'll find that the buildings become larger and larger, and there are more shops targeting high-end products.
In this town, the closer you live to the center, the richer you become.
In the center is a huge white palace; when you see the palace, you get a strong impression of a European white palace.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent.
“That’s the lord’s residence,” Kyrie Irvine said calmly.
"It's more like a castle than a mansion," Roya remarked.
At the same time, I mentally gave the middle finger to the ugly faces of capitalists.
"Because this is a fortified city," Gilead explained.
As the group entered the mansion, Gilead's features were easily recognizable. The two guards at the gate glanced at Gilead before letting the three of them in.
Led by Gilead, they stepped through the front door and headed straight for the center.
On the way, Roya saw many maids with cat ears and animal tails.
Most of these maids were pretty and cute, and were around seventeen or eighteen years old, in the prime of their youth.
Rudius's eyes lit up, and he smiled, exclaiming, "This lord is surprisingly knowledgeable! Don't you think so, brother?"
