The parting gift belonging to Adrian ended hastily amid the complicated emotions of everyone. Adrian's heart was touched and reluctant, but more of it was the joy of an eagle leaving the nest and about to fight freely in the sky. Aragund and
Isabella felt reluctant to give up and worried about Adrian's future, but of course she was also relieved that her child had finally grown up.
Travisi and Julukia felt more reluctant to leave, especially Traversi. It stands to reason that the younger brother who was a follower at first and then a poisonous snake who complained about him every day was finally leaving home.
He should be happy, but for some reason, he just couldn't be happy. Perhaps it was because Traversi himself had gone deep into the uninhabited forest, and he knew how difficult it was to live in a desolate "countryside territory".
One thing.
As for Dan Brent, he was more relieved: finally no more gifts, funny...
The family members dispersed. Adrian returned to his bedroom, handed the five pieces of papyrus he had to Vicki, and told Vicki to hand over all the recruitment contracts to him tomorrow morning. There was no need for Vicki to wash up.
, and sent her out.
Adrian threw himself heavily on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the room where he had lived for more than a month with his eyes wide open. The remaining feeling of strangeness disappeared, and more of it was a feeling of reluctance to leave.
, this room will no longer be yours.
This is a very strange feeling. Even though I have lived here for less than two months, I still can't bear to leave. I have feelings for it. It must be because I have lived here for almost a hundred years.
Adrian lay down for a while, looked at the ceiling in the room carefully, and murmured in an attempt to convince himself:
"Forget it, it's not my own family in the first place. Not to mention taking over someone else's son's body, I also made a huge fortune before leaving. If there's anything else I'm not satisfied with, it's already the beginning of the end."
With a self-deprecating smile, Adrian got up from the bed and went to wash up. This was the first time he washed up after coming to this world. He wanted to use this way to remind himself that he was not the original
Resident Adrian.
…
Early the next morning, Adrian got up by himself without Vicki waking him up. After washing himself, Vicki knocked on Adrian's door. Vicki was not late, but Adrian was early, so that
After Vicki knew that Adrian had washed himself, her little face was full of resentment:
"Master Adrian, do you dislike me?"
Adrian reached out and pinched Vicki's face and said:
"How is it possible? We are going to the fiefdom soon. I have to adapt in advance. We will be very busy in the future."
After hearing what Adrian said, Vicki became happy again and said with a gossipy face:
"I just met Butler Poirot when I went to have breakfast. He said that the master has decided to send Butler Alfred and Chef Baggins to you. This is really great."
This is indeed good news. Alfred is the second son of Butler Poirot. He is a wood elf. He has studied with Butler Poirot since he was a child. He is also an outstanding graduate of the lower elf academy in the family. He obtained the title of Butler when he was over seventy years old.
License to practice with business people.
Baggins, on the other hand, is a halfling who is proficient in southern cuisine. He is the second-in-command in the kitchen of the Aragund family. At the same time, his life class is infinitely close to the level of "Shire". You must know that "Shire" is the second highest level.
Due to the existence of "Dushar", the highest level of life for halflings, they are qualified to enter the royal court and serve the supreme elves of the three royal court clans.
He had obviously made up his mind to face the upcoming separation as a passerby of the Aragund family, but Adrian was moved again. Although it was Yara who sent these two elites from the family to Adrian.
Gund's decision, but this decision must have been discussed with Travisi.
Because although these two are about to follow Adrian to the fiefdom, they are not nominally Adrian's attendants. The employer column of their employment contract is still the Aragund family. As the heirs of the family, even if Aragund
Gond was in his prime, but when it came to household employees, Aragund still needed to discuss things with Traversi.
And based on Adrian's understanding of Traversi, it might be Traversi's suggestion to send these two to Adrian, but Adrian did not let the moved look stay on his face for long.
, he quickly returned to the cold expression that the high-ranking elven nobles had always maintained, and just said to Vicki:
"That's good. At least we don't have to worry too much about our future life. Just give me all the recruitment contracts. I'll start recruiting the right ones after breakfast. By the way, you go notify Alfred and ask him and
I'll go with you."
…
After breakfast, Adrian just walked out of the restaurant when he saw Vicki and Alfred waiting. Compared to Vicki, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, Alfred, who was born as a wood elf, was much taller.
He is about 1.9 meters tall, only slightly shorter than Adrian himself.
Adrian was actually quite familiar with Alfred. After all, when Adrian was just born, Alfred was already learning from Poirot how to be a good butler. But seeing Alfred and Adrian today was so much...
After all, Alfred is one of our own.
Well, even if he is one of his own, Vicky, Alfred, and the three servants who are still under employment contract with the Aragund family, including the Baggins cook, Adrian does not intend to let them return.
The Aragund family is now a member of the Aragund family. When Adrian truly establishes a foothold in the territory in ten years, Adrian will apply for a contract transfer from Aragund and Traversi to keep these three family elites forever.
in one's own territory.
Well, Aragund himself has no intention of returning to the Nibelungs after a hundred years.
Adrian and Alfred exchanged some pleasantries, then handed all the employment contracts to Alfred, and then ordered Vicky to sort out all the properties under her name in detail. It would be best to form a list and give it to him.
, he took Alfred out of the World Tree Manor of the Aragund family, and rode a horned eagle to the family employment office in the canopy below.
There is no bloody plot. As a "future scholar" who has already become famous within the family, Adrian received warm hospitality and successfully filled all the employment contracts in hand except the golden elf. Two master-level attendants
, Adrian chose Orch, the leader of the wood elf hunters, and Meili, the captain of the wind elf archers, both of whom were senior masters above level 12, and both were willing to follow Adrian, a promising "future" university scholar.
Adrian can hire a total of 90 lower-level elf servants from the family mercenary. Among them, the "family's dispatch" includes 20 wood elf hunters, 20 wind elf archers, 20 white elf farmers, plus the patriarch in Ai
The 30 employment quotas for lower-level elves given out by Derrian at his birthday party.
Adrian finally chose to take away all of Orr's wood elf hunting team, a total of 30 people, and also packed up Mellie's archer team and archer apprentices, exactly 20 people, and assisted Alfred
After hiring 30 white elf farmers, there are still 10 places left.
Adrian thought carefully and finally selected 5 elite earth elf mages at level 5-6 and 5 stone elf mages of similar levels before ending the recruitment of lower elf attendants.
Faced with Alfred's subtle reminder that "earth elves and stone elf mages of this level have no fighting ability," Adrian smiled slightly and said:
"Afu, actually I don't need them to fight. They have more important things to do than fight. Believe me, they are very important."
Although Alfred still didn't understand what these low-level mages could do, the stewardship he learned from his father made him not question the family leader's decision, and he himself believed that as a "future university"
Adrian would not make a decision without purpose. He quickly suppressed his curiosity and went to hire a vassal race for Adrian.
Watching Alfred bargaining skillfully with the practitioners at the employment office, Adrian, who was sitting and drinking coffee, said that he was really satisfied with Alfred. Butlers of this age would not do so at least in Nibelungen.
Someone could do it better than Alfred.
And Alfred did not live up to Adrian's appreciation. Not only did Adrian choose the nicotine tribe with the most mature white goblins among all the white goblin candidates, but also because Adrian also got 100 from the clan leader.
Due to the employment quota of vassal races, 67 relatively strong white goblins without tribal affiliation were plucked from the employment agencies, allowing Adrian's white goblin tribe to expand to 239 people.
But this is not all of Alfred's abilities. If Alfred and the practitioners at the family employment firm were just bargaining when hiring white goblins, then when they hired bugbears for Adrian, the two parties were
There was a heated exchange of words, and the intensity of the process opened the eyes of Adrian, who was accustomed to Alfred's always gentle and gentle image.
But although the process was intense, the result was wonderful for Adrian. After taking advantage of Adrian's empty title of "future university scholar", Alfred also added "the hope of the family" to Adrian's head.
", "The mainstay of the family's future", "The future light of the Green Sea Dynasty" and other titles. In the end, not only did they hire the 20 strongest bugbears, but they also selected 23 bugbears from the remaining ones.
The strongest.
When Adrian signed contracts with all the hired lower-level elves and vassal race servants one by one and walked out of the employment office, it was not lunch time yet. In other words, hundreds of servants were hired, and Alfred only just
In less than three hours, this efficiency once again refreshed Adrian's understanding of Alfred's abilities.
In the next few days, Adrian left all the preparations for going to the fiefdom to Alfred and Vicki, and he visited the Nibelungen again alone, firstly as a trip, and secondly, as a substitute.
The original body bid farewell to the Nibelungen.
…
The time has finally come for Adrian to leave the Nibelungen. The first person to set off is Adrian. He will go on the road alone, embarking on the footsteps of the Holy Spirit of Foehn Windfley, while Alfred will lead Adrian all the way.
The attendant took some of the initial resources and set off for the fief in the afternoon.
Adrian would go directly to the fiefdom after walking the footsteps of the Holy Spirit. After listening to Alfred and Vicky's opinions, he chose the temporary location on the west bank of the Opal River near the estuary. Alfred
The others will build a temporary camp there and wait for Adrian.
…
Adrian came to the edge of the Nibelungen in a broad sense after being sent off by his family. Adrian turned around and hugged all his family members goodbye, first Traversi, then Danbrent, Jurukia, and then Ya
Lagunde, and finally Isabella.
With tears in her eyes, Isabella thrust a crystal box into Adrian's arms:
"Inside is your favorite honey cake. You can take it with you to eat on the road."
Before Adrian could speak, Isabella turned and glared at the patriarch who was watching off or supervising that Adrian had not received any additional supplies:
"Don't look at me, I don't have an ordinary food box at home."
The patriarch rolled his eyes and said nothing, but he was complaining in his heart: We all know that you are from the Great Elder Clan White Light Granbo, but is it really okay to show off your wealth like this? The eternal crystal box seems to be permanently blessed with space arcana.
By visual inspection, the internal volume will not be less than two cubic meters. Since your family does not have an ordinary food box, when did the Aragund family become so wealthy?
Adrian hugged his mother again and said goodbye to all his family members with a smile:
"Well, goodbye, you are welcome to visit my territory in the future. When you see me again, maybe I will already be a scholar."
