Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 97 Forest Farm Supervisor

Mrs. Maria has returned to Wang, and Claude's life should return to the way it was before, going home from school and staying in the attic. But when Lady Maria left, she entrusted the forest farm to Claude's guard, and even the Theories, who watched the forest, had to follow Claude's instructions. After thinking about it, Claude decided to go home and tell his parents before they worry.

There are two horses in the stables, an old horse with a smooth personality named Tony. The other was the big black horse, the black kempeitai that was pulled by surprise on the highway and almost drove to the bottom of the hill, named Jamie Black. It was abandoned in the woods by Lutheran housekeepers because of the shocking horse accident for which no reason was found.

There are also two carriages outside the stables, one of which is a board model and has no cover. This old carriage is usually the vehicle that the Theories, the Lin people, use to carry the old Martoni to town for business.

The other is a small double carriage, which, although it has a compartment, boards and disembarks in the front and rear, which means that the carriage that Claude took when she first met Mrs. Maria, was the one that Lutheran's butler went to the old tavern in town to buy food. Mrs. Maria sometimes used the carriage in town, keeping a low profile, and now the carriage is in Claude's hands.

Claude wanted to ride the black horse Jamie home, but thought about the need to bring some clothes and gear from home, so he put the little carriage on the black horse Jamie and talked to Theory, the Lin man, and drove the carriage home.

His mother and brother, Little Book, and little snow dog were at home, and he hadn't seen Claude for over half a month, and Little Fatty Coke broke down, wrapping Claude around and letting him hang out all morning, and he didn't let Claude go until he had a nap after lunch. Speaking briefly to his mother about his life in the woods, Claude returned to his little attic and began to organize what was to be taken with him.

Claude doesn't have much to take away except for a few pieces of clothing and some living gear like towel glasses. Of course, the diary of the Landers magician, the notebook, the stone box and the bag of Sullivan gold, he's taking them all away. These things were hidden under the bed, just because he didn't live in a small attic in the future, it would be worse for his mother if she came to the tide to do a sweep or something and discovered that this stone box and the bag of gold coins were bad, and she had to mix her brains up to use excuses to lay them down, so it would be better to take them away.

By the way, there are three magic items that have been taken from the Vakurina store. Claude mumbled and regretted it. She knew she would take these three things to the woodland to show Lady Maria what kind of magic they were. Unfortunately, now that Lady Maria is gone, these three things can only be left to think about.

Claude quickly put a big bag of what he was going to take away and put it downstairs in the restaurant. He decided to wait until after dinner at night to go back to the woodland. Tomorrow he would go directly from the woodland to the school, and then go straight back to the woodland after school. After all, Mrs. Maria entrusted him with guarding the woodland, so it was her duty to visit the woodland every day after school.

Claude then drove out in the carriage, went to the feed shop in the open market and bought some oats and black beans to feed Jamie the black horse, and talked to the owner of the feed store and paid for a few eggs to mix in the black beans and feed the horse. After Black Jamie had eaten and drank enough, Claude took him to the well to clean up before driving the carriage home.

Mr. Morsan returned home punctually at night, and saw Claude's big bag in the restaurant. He didn't say anything. Just as Claude was about to tell him that he was going to live in the woods in the future, Mr. Morsan waved and called Claude to him.

“I know about you.” Mr. Morsan said.

The mist on Claude's end. What didn't I tell you? You know what? Good thing Mr. Morsan answered his questions.

“Mrs. Maria wrote me a letter this morning telling me she was going back to the King. However, she was satisfied with your caretaker duties and decided to continue to hire you as guard of the woodland with a monthly salary of three silver tallers in view of the old age of the Theories. ”

Mr. Morsan paused for a moment and shook his head with a bitter smile: “When I was still promoted to chief of administration to reach the monthly salary of San Silver Tall, you son of a bitch had such a highly paid job even before graduating from China, it's really more popular than dead...”

Pointing to the big bag on the ground, Mr. Morsan asked, "Is this what you're taking to the woodland? ”

Claude nodded: "Yes, some of my clothes are inside, and the weather is getting cold, so I have to bring some more, and it's a little cold in the morning over at the woodland. And those are my study books and practice books, and I'm going back to school tomorrow. “

Mr. Morsan pulled his beloved black mulberry ivory pipe out of his pocket, stuffed it with tobacco and said, "Now you're a monthly paycheck, too. Baroness Maria attached a golden ticket of 10 gold crowns to my letter and asked me to pay you on her behalf on the 15th of each month. Now that you have money, it's much easier to buy a wicker suitcase and put it away than it is to pack a big bag with a blanket like this. ”

Claude really wanted to slap himself, and if it hadn't been for his father's reminder, he wouldn't have thought of buying that kind of traveling wicker suitcase. I knew I would buy one when I went to the open-air market in town this afternoon to feed Jamie Black. This case, woven with elongated willow strips and lined with sheepskin corners and liners, has always been known for its lightness and durability and is a must have for travellers. It is said that it can be used as a lifebox when water is not sunk, it is not expensive, and it is also about a silver taller or two.

But now, anyway, when this large refugee bag was left in the carriage, no one could see it. It was not too late to wait for the 15th father to pay his salary to buy it, so that he could find that he still had a lot of money around him.

“Baroness Maria looks so heavy on you, she doesn't know what she sees in you.” Mr. Morsan went on with a little jealousy: "Baroness Maria wrote in her letter that you could go on to school until graduation, and you were in charge of everything in the woods. She's entrusting the forest farm to you. Don't let her trust you, okay? ”

Claude nodded and said he was clear. Some mothers on the table didn't want Claude to live in the woods for a while, so they just wanted to get warm and fed up. Claude seemed very dissatisfied with Claude's ability to obtain Mrs. Maria's favor when she found herself sitting there in silence with a jealous eye.

“I studied pharmacology with Mrs. Maria in the forest a few days ago, and she said I had a gift for being a pharmacist.” Claude thinks he should make an excuse for Mrs. Maria's favor, saving some dark-hearted people from chewing their tongues behind her back.

“It turns out…” Mr. Morsan suddenly realized: "Now I have some regrets about your decision to send you to enlist after graduation, and if you can get Baroness Maria to carry you, you may not have to be a soldier, becoming a pharmacist would be a good option. Unfortunately, you're learning too late, the annual pharmacist exam is in November, and it's a little too late for you to sign up a month early. ”

The qualification examination for pharmacists is only once a year, and the three southwest counties are no exception. Each exam is said to be very rigorous and applicants need to pass three levels in addition to remembering a great deal of knowledge of medicines and written knowledge such as pathology studies. These three levels are the identification and treatment of medicines, the on-site refining of synthetic five primary medicines, and finally the diagnosis of patients and the recording and handing over of their own treatment plans.

There are plenty of people in every application, but few successful promotions to primary pharmacists. Being a pharmacist in the kingdom offers many advantages, such as not having to enlist in the military and paying even if the army recruits pharmacists to treat the wounded. At the same time, the safety of the pharmacist must not be sent to the front line, etc.

But for Claude, it's really too late. Everyone knows that becoming a pharmacist takes a lot of time not only to remember those medicines and pathologies, but also to actually operate. Handling medicines and refining synthetic agents is not that simple and takes a long time of training and practice. And Claude was just beginning to study pharmacology, so Mr. Morsan was very sorry.

After dinner, Claude took a big bag in his carriage and was ready to go back to the woods to say goodbye to his parents. As for Albert, this shipment had been in his room a long time ago, and Claude had not been asked. Sister Anna and younger brother Brooke were reluctant to leave Claude. Even the little snow dog bit Claude's legs and wouldn't let him go. Claude made several wishes and promised to come back and see them sometime before leaving in the carriage.

Returning to the woodland is almost 8pm and the Theories are still waiting for Claude on the lawn in front of the villa. This was a deal with Claude before he left the house in the morning, and now Claude runs the woodland, and the Theories are waiting for orders.

Claude stopped the carriage, and Theorie hurried up and grabbed Jamie the Black Horse, ready to unload it from the carriage.

“Wait, Uncle Theorie, I'll go to the guest room and pack up and put it in the carriage, and then you'll pull the carriage into the back yard.” Claude jumped off the carriage and said.

“You want to pack the guest room? You don't live here anymore?” Theorie is a little confused.

“Well, I'm not staying in the guest room anymore, so I'm going to close the main house and stay in the back yard. ”

This estate villa at Normanly Forest Yard is said to have been designed by a famous architect from Wangdu, with two floors of two master bedrooms, six rooms, three maid's rooms, a lobby, a large kitchen, a large dining room and two grocery rooms.

Now that Mrs. Maria and the housekeeper Ludhan had left, Claude was uncomfortable living alone in such a large house and decided to move and close the main house, as she had done before.

Behind the main house is a large courtyard, on the left is a two-storey cylinder building, a warehouse and maid's room, where Mrs. Maria brought the wagon Wayne, who was originally living, and the Theories of the Lin. Now the wagon wayne also returns to the King and there are two Theories left.

Claude certainly wouldn't live with the Theories, but he chose a two-story cabin opposite the cylinder building, about 20 metres from the yard. Mrs. Maria said that the cabin was the earliest building in the woodland, and that it was later rebuilt as a memorial when the main house was built, and took Claude in to let Claude's magical hand clean the cabin again.

That's when Claude loved the cabin, because the roof of the cabin was a small platform for him to practice meditation in the moonlight. He wanted to move here a few days ago. Later, Mrs. Maria said that she would wait for Claude to leave, because the main house was too grown-up and Claude would look colder if she moved away again...

“Are you going to live here, Master Claude?” Siori looked at the cabin and asked.

“Well," Claude nodded: “Uncle Theorie, call me by my name later, I'm not a young master. Besides, I'm going to school tomorrow, and I won't be back till after school this afternoon, and everything's the same in the woods, and you and your wife are in charge. If there's anything you can't fix, call me back, okay? ”

“Okay, Claude Supervisor.” Theorie said.
