"Tell me, what's the matter with you?" Angelet became interested after noticing the little girl's interesting reaction. In the past, before he became a wizard, he was still an apprentice. Although he had an identity as a foil, he had never
He has enjoyed this kind of treatment that can make little girls blush at the sight of him. Now that he has become a high-ranking figure in the eyes of ordinary people, this is the first time he has enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Of course, this is also due to his unwillingness to change his appearance.
However, this gave him a rare sense of freshness. For a wizard, being able to experience a little fresh fun in the process of exploring the world is a very good refreshment.
This made Angelet feel happy.
"Tell me, if you have anything, if it's not too much trouble, I can promise you anything." He asked casually.
Sari swallowed her saliva and answered in a low voice.
"Sir...Sir, I have a younger brother...who has loved reading and cherishing it since he was a child. I heard that you have a lot of books here...so I would like to recommend him to come over and do book maintenance work..."
"Book maintenance?" Angelet raised an eyebrow. "How old is your brother?"
"Thirteen. He... used to do book maintenance at our lord's house." Sari replied quickly.
"You ask him to come here and try first. If it works, then stay." Angelet nodded.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir...thank you..." Sari bowed repeatedly, but was quickly pulled out of the room by Ruilin on the side. She knew that Angele didn't like too much noise, whether it was thanking or apologizing.
The voice was allowed to be too loud. She was afraid that Sari's excited voice would offend Angele, so she quickly picked up her friend, bowed and left the room together.
Angelet smiled and didn't take it to heart. It would be better if someone who loved books took care of it. At least he wouldn't have to worry about the books getting moldy.
Although the information in these books is stored in his chip, occasionally taking them out and reading them with your eyes is a quiet enjoyment.
******************************
Early morning three days later.
In the study, Angelet was holding a cup of hot milk, sipping it in small sips while looking at the two petite figures standing in front of him.
One is wearing a black and white maid's sari, and the other is a little boy with red hair.
The boy was a little thin. He was wearing a shabby gray cloth, his face was pale, but his eyes were unusually big and bright. He was looking at Angelet expectantly.
"Sir, my name is Saya. Please... please believe that I will be able to manage your books for you!!"
He bowed deeply and suddenly, bending down. The sari on one side also bent down heavily.
The two siblings just stood in the room without standing up.
Angelet looked at the two children with interest.
"Saya? You stand up first. I'll ask you a few questions."
"Yes! Sir!" Saya and the two quickly stood up and answered loudly.
"You don't need to be so loud when answering questions in the future." Angelet waved his hand.
"I understand, sir." Saya quickly lowered her voice and nodded heavily.
"First question, where are your parents?"
Saya and Sari showed a hint of sadness on their faces at the same time.
"I don't know. Sir, we were sold by our family." Sari replied in a low voice. "If sister Ruilin hadn't chosen us at that time, I would have been in a tavern in the town by now."
The town's tavern is actually equivalent to a brothel.
The younger brother Saya on the side quickly held her sister's hand.
"Then the second question." Angelet remained calm. He had seen this situation too many times. "Saya, why do you like books?"
Saya was slightly stunned. It seemed that even he himself had not thought about this problem. After lowering his head for a while, he suddenly raised his face.
"Sir, in my eyes, every book is a priceless gem. I can learn many things from it that cannot be learned outside, and see many things that I cannot see!"
Angelet nodded approvingly. It could be seen that although this Saya was young, her thoughts were much more mature than her age. It seemed that she had gone through many heavy experiences.
"Then the last question, do you know how to maintain this book?" Angelet picked it up from the table. What he had been reading these past few days was like a black brick, with the letters "Family Glory" printed on the cover.
"Come here and take a closer look. Do you know how to read?"
"Literate!" Saya answered loudly. Qian Qian, with a happy face, carefully took the book as if taking over a treasure and held it in her hands.
"Such a long-lasting trace, this material... It is made of the finest white horn bark... It needs to be exposed to the noon sun every three months, for more than an hourglass at a time, and left aside
The environment must not be affected by moisture and must be dust-proof. To prevent insects, you can place some white pine branches around. If you wear gloves when reading, this book can even be preserved for hundreds of years..." Saye looked at her hands intently.
He was reading a book with a trace of piety on his face, and he began to mutter to himself. Apparently he had entered a state of selflessness.
Angelet nodded slightly while listening. He knew how to maintain it from many books. Different materials have different maintenance methods, but knowing is one thing, and whether you have time to maintain it is another.
Hearing Saya's muttering to herself, she had basically explained all the fine maintenance of a book made of this material. He also nodded with satisfaction.
When mildew spots appeared, it was because he had never had a capable person who was willing to spend time and energy to manage it. This time, he just happened to find a good candidate.
"Then, from today on, you will come here to sort out the books for me. Your salary will be paid once a month, and it will be set at ten gold coins. What do you think? Are you willing?"
Ten gold coins, for ordinary people, saving a little is enough to maintain normal expenses for a month. Of course, this is on the premise of taking care of the food yourself, rather than going out to eat. If you go out to eat in a store, the high prices will not be possible
It can be supported with so few gold coins.
However, children don't need much money. How much you pay should be rewarded. If you get too much money at a too early age, Angelet is worried that it will ruin this rare good seedling. Just give him enough material security.
. Coupled with his own reputation, it can ensure his safe growth.
He has never been stingy about cultivating people he admires.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!!" The husky face showed an ecstatic look, and his whole little face was about to burst into laughter, and his voice was so excited that his voice was trembling.
Angelet smiled slightly and didn't say much.
***************************************
In the next ten days or so, Saya did not disappoint Angele. She classified and maintained all the hundreds of books. The entire book was kept extremely neat.
Moreover, although Angele did not prohibit Saya from reading books, this little guy was extremely restrained and did not read any book. Even though his face was always filled with deep longing.
In the eyes of this little guy, Angele is not only the owner of these books, but also his sister's slave. So no matter how much he wants to read, he must restrain himself and not cause trouble for his sister. She wants to be in contact with him for him. These books have already taken a huge risk. If anything goes wrong, they are not something they can afford.
Angelet was also very satisfied with this little guy's conduct. Many times, he would take the initiative to give him a small hint when he left the study that he could take time to peek at the books while he was sorting them out.
This made the little guy's face full of surprise. He took care of the books more and more carefully. In order to leave time for peeking, the usual time of taking care of the books also increased slightly.
Time passed slowly as the two of them cooperated with each other.
Angelet turned a blind eye. He had extraordinary recognition and respect for people who had a pious thirst for knowledge, especially juniors.
What surprised him was that Saya's sister, Sari, would peek at him from the corner from time to time while cleaning the villa. After being discovered by him, she would quickly look away with a blushing face, like a frightened deer. .Obviously she has a crush on him.
Sometimes, Angelet felt vaguely inexplicable emotion when he looked at Saya who was concentrating on sorting out books.
For a person who has such a pious thirst for knowledge, just give him a small chance, and he may be able to shine with unimaginable light. If Saya had not died unexpectedly, she would never have been an ordinary person in the future.
And now, in his study, this young child is like a sponge, eager to absorb any nutrients he can to lay a solid foundation for his future life.
Angele also saw traces of practicing martial arts in him since childhood, and he didn't look very weak. This reminded him of Fulia's brother, the child who is now unknown.
Although they are completely different, they have one thing in common. They are both determined. They have the determination and desire to never give up in the face of their pursuits.
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the incident between Saya and her brother was just an unexpected episode.
Perhaps Angelet's random decision now can rewrite other people's lives, but for him, it is really just a random decision.
It's time to go to the Count's dinner party.
Angelet notified the representatives of his designated subordinates through the ring in advance that they needed to meet. During this period, more than 20 people voluntarily surrendered to him one after another. Including the previous ones, there were more than 40 people. Almost half the number of elites in the entire Tali River Valley.
These people received notices from Angele one after another, requesting to meet in the Blue Gold Cave in the Sea of Trees in the Red Stone Mountains on the edge of the Tali River Basin.
This is the place Angelet chose.
The Blue Gold Cave is usually inaccessible. A wizard once settled here, but it was later abandoned. Although it has a place name, it is still a terrifying place that ordinary people avoid.
Anyone who has anything to do with wizards and other people means danger and disaster to ordinary people.
Lanjin Cave is also right in the middle of Angele's journey to the banquet.
After notifying the people below, Angelet explained everything in the villa. Rhinesi originally wanted to follow, but Angelet made an excuse to shun him. Knowing that he would not be able to attend to personal matters, she did not insist. There are also some recent details here.
Because of the easing of the situation.
Yuan Neng Hand and the Baicheng Alliance are both on the verge of peace talks, and the situation has been in a stalemate for some time. Neither side wants to fight anymore. The surrounding forces have also been affected by the internal war of Yuan Neng Hand and suffered a lot of losses. Naturally,
They are all leaning toward peace. The general trend is that peace talks are now underway at a critical moment.
Therefore, when everyone hopes for peace talks, no one will be so short-sighted and want to go against everyone's will. There is no need to think too much about the security issues that Angelet was worried about before.
Coupled with the well-known mark of protection, a mark that can injure two Dawn Wizards and escape. Naturally, it is not something that ordinary forces can afford. (To be continued...)
