Chapter 25 The Duke's Daughter (1)

The accountant Mr. Cummins was helping Ge Zheng count gold coins. The desert fairy smiled and layered with dry eyelids piled up into folds: "Sir, you don't know, since you taught those arrogant servants a lesson yesterday, Dunk and I have risen sharply in this mansion. Now when everyone sees us, they nodded and bowed. Haha, the ding dong sound of this gold coins is the most wonderful music in the world..."

A good start, six thousand gold coins were obtained.

At the same time, Deckmont was packing his bags and preparing to return to the Delson Royal City. Kari, who was whipped, was still lying on the bed. Some other servants helped him pack his luggage. Deckmont sat in front of the bed and frowned, but before leaving, he had a problem that he had to solve.

Ge Zheng.

Whether this powerful alchemist was taken away or stayed in Obama City. Although Dirkmont is approachable, he will inevitably have some common problems with nobles: when he thinks that his dignified family is willing to take Ge Zheng away from a "small place" like Obama City, the latter will of course leave without hesitation. Therefore, he subconsciously ignored Ge Zheng's own opinions.

However, after careful consideration, Dirkmont decided to give up this attractive plan: his strength can only be considered second-third-rate among the royal family of the Delson Royal City. Now, he will probably not be able to keep Ge Zheng's dragon when he takes Ge Zheng back.

Keep Ge Zheng in Obama City, with Grand Duke Maris helping to take care of him, and when he wins the Royal Challenge Championship and his strength begins to take shape, he will come and invite Ge Zheng again. That is the best time.

Dirkmont made up his mind and ordered his servants: "Prepare three thousand gold coins, I will visit Master Ge."

...

The next day, Dirkmont left Oba City with his servants and 500,000 gold coins. Grand Duke Maris sent his most elite First Cavalry Brigade to escort the Baron. Ge Zheng was also in the ranks of seeing off. Under the intentional support of Grand Duke Maris and Baron Dirkmont, Ge Zheng was always beside the two, never leaving.

The rich people in Obama who had sharpened their heads and squeezed into the farewell team secretly remembered what they saw and heard along the way. Although they didn't know Ge Zheng, they could see the respect of the Grand Duke and the Baron, and secretly instructed their servants to find out the origin and preferences of the person, and prepared to flatter.

Before leaving, Dirkmont held Ge Zheng's hand tightly: "Sir, come to Delson when you have time, remember to see me!" Ge Zheng nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, sir Baron." Dirkmont stood in the carriage and took off his hat and waved to the people who were seeing him off: "Thank you, goodbye everyone!"

"Get up!" The knights in the front of the convoy drew out their swords and stood up in front of their noses. With a loud shout, the knights behind them raised their narrow flags, horse hooves and wheels. The First Cavalry Brigade of the National Protection Army is worthy of being the first elite in the Principality of Maris, and their actions are uniform.

The convoy drove away, and Dekemont waved goodbye to Ge Zheng and the Grand Duke in the window.

On the way back, the Grand Duke enthusiastically invited Ge Zheng to take the same car. This action surprised the surrounding nobles of Wangshan City, and the importance of this strange face was reassessed again.

In the car, Grand Duke Maris asked Ge Zheng kindly: "What are the plans for Master Ge in the future?" Ge Zheng bowed slightly and said, "I want to open an alchemy shop in Obama City." Grand Duke smiled slightly: "If the master does not dislike it, I am willing to dismiss my principality's chief alchemist and ask the master to take this position." Ge Zheng shook his head quickly. When he was on Earth, he knew that the words of a bachelor would not block the way for people's wealth. It is very immoral to steal other people's jobs and never do it: "No need, anyway, I stay in Obama City. Your Excellency Grand Duke, what are you doing? Just send someone to order. Ge Zheng will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation." This is the polite words of the Chinese, and Ge Zhengxin immediately didn't think so at all.

However, the Grand Duke smiled with satisfaction: In his opinion, this is like Ge Zheng's oath of allegiance first. This person is a treasure, and he must be held in his hand and must not let him run away. Since he refused to become the chief alchemist of the Principality, he would find another position to tie him up.

"Master, haha..." Grand Duke Maris showed a strange smile: "My daughter Feifei Maris, smart, diligent and inquisitive, and very interested in alchemy. I want to hire a gentleman as his family teacher, teach three times a week, and earn three thousand gold coins a week. I wonder if the master is willing to appreciate his face?"

Ge Zheng still understands this position of aristocratic tutoring is not given to ordinary people casually. In ancient China, imperial teachers not only had impeccable talents and character, but also were the first team of the future emperors. In the world of Star Refining, the aristocratic tutoring also meant this.

Even though Ge Zheng was a political idiot, he understood that the Grand Duke wanted to pull him into the inner circle of his family's forces, which showed a high degree of care and trust.

Ge Zheng was in a dilemma. He wanted to refuse. Yes, he really wanted to refuse. But every week, he had a thousand gold coins, and a class of one thousand gold coins, which made it difficult for him to refuse. Ge Zheng was not a fake noble person. Even if he didn't need so much money to buy materials, he would think that this number was a difficult number to refuse. Who said that alchemists don't need money, and they don't have money to use for elixirs or experiments?

"Okay." Ge Zheng reluctantly agreed, and a flower immediately bloomed on the face of the grand duke. "That's great!" The grand duke slapped Ge Zheng on the shoulder: "I'll prepare a banquet tonight. Even if it's Feifei's apprenticeship banquet, please be sure to attend!"

"..." Ge Zheng had no reason to refuse.

Grand Duke Maris was very thoughtful. The villa where Deckmont originally lived was empty, and Ge Zheng lived there, so he didn't have to move out. Grand Duke's excuse was to live more spaciously and also facilitate his teaching of his daughter. Ge Zheng couldn't refuse, so he had to live there. This made Cummins and Honest Dunk. The two country bumpkins ran three laps in the garden and had not seen enough.

In order to attend the luxurious dinner of Dagong, Ge Zheng temporarily went out to buy a brand new set of alchemy robe. The aristocratic dresses all need to be specially customized. Making a body-sided dress requires a skilled tailor for three months, so it is too late to wear the dress. Fortunately, Ge Zheng himself attended the dinner as Miss Feifei's tutor, and wearing an alchemy robe is in line with his identity.
