Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 305: Mother, Sister, Brother, and Brutus

There was nothing to describe Claude's joy and joy in meeting his family, but Claude was frightened when he walked in the door. A big white dog, half tall, jumped out of the house, knocked Claude over the floor, and a wet big tongue added to Claude's face.

Like the big guy in the back, Gemmy jumped off the wagon and pulled out the sword between his waists and was ready to rescue Claude. Good thing Mike in the back could see clearly that Claude was not attacked, but that the big white dog was making out with Claude. Uncle Pegg didn't have any surprises back there, just shouting the name of the big white dog: "Bruto, get out of the way, leave your master alone. ”

Claude finally pushed the big white dog down on himself. This is the little snow dog he brought home. I didn't expect to recognize him after five years. It was a surprise, but he grew up so big and not so cute as a child.

When she heard the noise outside, her mother came out of the house and saw Claude sitting on the ground and the big white dog jumped beside him, she hurriedly apologized: “Sorry sir, it was our Bruto's fault, didn't it hurt you? ”

Claude grabbed the big white dog's neck and shook it, smiling and answering: "It's me, Mother, I'm back, Brutus is making out with me. ”

“Ah? Claude...” Mother surprised: “You, are you really back? ”

Claude climbed up from the ground and couldn't help but shade the dust on his clothes and hugged his mother two steps ahead: “Mom, it's me, I'm really back. ”

Mother stopped talking, she just cried with joy and hugged Claude tightly.

Instead of going up and making a scene, the big white dog focused on Mike and Big Grimm, circling around the two of them and sniffing close from time to time.

“Mom, who's here?” The crisp voice rang and a beautiful woman with big eyes came out with a pan and saw Claude with her mother at a glance.

The pan dropped to the ground with a "chirp”. Big-eyed beauty stares at Claude: "Brother, brother, you're back...”

“Yeah, I'm finally back.” Claude let go of her mother and took her hand to the restaurant: “I didn't expect that little dots who loved crying noses grew up to be such beautiful beauties. Anna, you broke the pot in half, so pack it up. ”

Browick, his younger brother who stayed upstairs, heard the movement downstairs, and the old little fat punk naughty bag grew into a handsome little teenager after five years. Browick, now almost fourteen years old, is already a second-year student of Bai Lu Cheng National Elementary School. He was escorted to school by his sister Anna last year. He was also beaten up by Anna several times for this, which finally changed the problem of his refusal to go to school.

Five years without seeing Claude, Blovik was a little scared at first. But soon he found on Claude the attachment that made him miss and engrave deep in his memory. As a child, Claude had not forgotten his care and love for him and Anna, which depended on Claude's refusal to leave, and he had to listen to Claude tell him about his experience of killing enemies on the battlefield, envying the three green stars on Claude's shoulder.

After McJake and Big Grimes greeted Claude's family, they were busy moving what Claude had bought from the carriage to his house. Good thing Claude marked the outer packaging of these things, so please know who he gave them to. The most important and most valuable part was sent to the second floor study by Claude, where her sister Anna studied magic for alchemy.

The corner of the restaurant was filled with these items, and Claude's mother, who cooked herself to make a big meal for the three of Claude, asked curiously how much Claude had spent on these items. Claude didn't care about his mother's question and answered with a quick and honest answer that it cost almost 500 gold kroons. As a result, the mother almost had a heart attack, and for the next two hours she had been caught up in the mother's accusations that he was wasting money shopping around.

Luckily, my sister Anna went out to buy ingredients and came back quickly, which finally allowed her mother not to complain too much. Claude feels grieved. Isn't the family rich? Why are you still so grumpy? Besides, it's my money again. Why is my mother so angry?

Mother and sister Anna were busy in the kitchen for two hours, and finally made a meal to satisfy them to entertain two guests, Michael and Big Grimes, when Claude was already starving. Mother didn't know that Mike and Big Gummy were actually Claude's subordinates, they misunderstood and thought that Mike and Big Gummy were Claude's colleagues and friends, wanted to do their best to entertain them so that they could make a good impression and take care of Claude in the army.

It was only at dinner that Mike and Big Gummy were afraid to sit on top of each other. After Claude introduced them, they realized that the two young soldiers were Claude's men. They were orphans and had nowhere to go, even on vacation, which allowed Claude's invitation to accompany Claude home to visit his family. Mother and sister Anna were so sympathetic, they were warmly welcomed to the house as guests...

Claude had a great time eating this big meal, and the big Grimes showed his infinite belly, and eventually all the rest of the meal went into his belly, so Browick reached out and touched his belly, wondering where so much food had gone.

During the meal, Claude also chose only some interesting things from the army to tell you, and even the success stories of how he was promoted to captain and won the Knight's Medal were omitted, and he didn't want his mother to know the risks he had taken and the blood battles he had experienced on the battlefield. The dining atmosphere was very harmonious, but Mother remembered Father and said two words, saying that Father would surely be proud of your accomplishments if he were still there, without the sadness of the original one.

Sister Anna mentioned a long defiant name, and to be honest, Claude almost forgot she had a big brother in her name. If it hadn't been for my sister Anna, Claude wouldn't have remembered what this big brother Albert looked like. But Mother was very proud, saying that Albert is now out there too.

In the past five years, the big brother Albert had never been home, but he had sent two letters to his mother. The first letter was that he was currently working for a Count and that he was busy and did not have time to go home to visit his mother Cloud. The second letter was sent back at the same time as the first letter last year at the end of the year. It was rare to put a roll of ten gold crowns in the letter for the mother. She said that it was her own accumulation in the last few years and sent it to the mother to buy her a delicious complement. Ask the mother to forgive him for the mistakes he did not know how to make...

This letter brings the mother's touching tears to her eyes, and Albert, the eldest son, turns back to the prodigal son, which is the greatest solace in her heart. The golden dollar roll of ten kilograms was even framed by her mother and placed on her own bed. As soon as I saw this golden dollar roll, my mother would think of Albert, very happy.

“Did the mother reply?” Claude asked.

“Back.” Sister Anna replied: "The mother wrote several letters from the first letter, but Albert never answered. It was not until the second letter that he told his mother not to send him a letter. He was running around for the Count. He was very busy. The letters he sent could not be received until the end of the year. He was often given a sneak peek at the joke by the Count's servants. So he told his mother not to write back any more letters. He would write to his mother if there was anything he wanted. There was no need for her to worry about him, so she didn't write anymore...”

Claude just nodded and didn't care about his nominal brother. He's still alive and well. That's natural. Even if he's miserable, Claude won't shed a tear for him. There's no brotherhood between them. And now the future of the Fields is in the hands of his brother Browick, and even if this big brother returns, he can't turn the sky.

After dinner, it was Claude's turn to donate the treasure, and he should show his mother what he had bought for nearly 500 gold crowns. At the time, his father, Mr. Morsan, was forced to jump to his death by a debt of 500 gold crowns and seek a way out for his family. Now Claude spends the same amount of money buying things he doesn't use, which, in his mother's view, is a tremendous reversal.

“Mother, these are antiques. Look at this set of 28 pieces of golden and silver utensils, but they are more than 200 years old, from the hands of the seventh generation of Grand Duke Rimodra's private maker, Vanderón, who is said to be the butler of the current Grand Duke Rimodra who took a bunch of things and fled to the market. I picked it up cheap and bought it for half the price.

These nine-piece, crystal set of golden patterned tea sets are the most cherished of the four generations of Grand Duke of Siddins' spouse, Lady Dinia, who is said to be the favorite on a sunny afternoon, inviting two or three of her best friends to taste tea in the garden. The famous oil painting, "Lady Dinia's Afternoon Tea," is the set of crystal tea set on the table... ”

Actually, Claude bought two sets of the most valuable antiques, which he thought were real. But the owner of the stall who sold these two sets of treasures didn't think so. The main reason is that there are too many vintage treasures in the market, so he doesn't think they're real, he just thinks they're in place.

But Claude opened the eyes of probation. From the viewpoint of the magic, he really experienced the precipitation of the years and the imitation of the mountain goods completely different, so Claude didn't think he had such luck, encountered the real boutiques mixed in the mountain goods, and did not bargain with the boss. In the eyes of the boss, he promised the boss the high price he thought he was offering, and bought these two sets of treasure antiques.

“Mom, I've asked someone to validate these two sets of authentic antiques with a market value of nearly 1,000 gold crowns, so I only bought them for a third of the price and they've been overturned.” Claudette replied proudly to her mother's suspicions.

“But it's too precious.” The mother dispelled the suspicion, but became a little overwhelmed: “It's too careless to leave it at home. What if someone finds out that it was stolen? We'll have to invite someone to watch the night after...”

“It's not necessary, just carefully collect it. I think these two sets of antiques can be a family heirloom for our Fields family, a family heritage that Little Booker can pass on to his offspring in the future.” Claude doesn't care about the value of these two antique treasures, which, in his eyes, are far more interesting than the magical objects he has yet to pick up on the black market.

The next few antiques were a gift to the family, and the mother was given a string of ruby necklaces, allegedly from a noble family in the Principality of Siddins. Sister Anna had a diamond crown, a birthday gift from a Duchy Marquis daughter that had been stolen for a long time. Browick, my brother, arrived at a golden curved knife, said to be an adult gift from Grand Duke Kanas to a married nobleman of the Principality of Eskirin. It should be a coin sold to the black market by soldiers of a kingdom...

Claude bought himself a shotgun made by the Baroness's father, the famous firearm master. Also bought a whole set of fifty-six fine silver dishes for the family, and it would be more honorable to have a feast at the house to entertain guests. This boutique silver tableware is not antique, it is custom made. It should be a missing item from a nobleman's house in the Principality, which was seized by the soldiers of the Kingdom and hidden in private before being sold on the black market.

Just because these items are all set and need careful storage, the packaging is thick and shockproof during transportation, which fills the entire compartment of the passenger and cargo wagon. For Claude, although he spent nearly 500 gold kroons, the actual price was over 1,500, and there were a few magic items he had taken upstairs that he could not afford. Claude already feels very lucky to have found and bought it on that black market.

Next, the mother handed them to her sister, repackaged them, put them back in the box, and let Claude take them to the third floor and put them in the mother's room. I don't know if my mother will be able to sleep well in the future. If I let her sleep, Claude will be guilty.

As for the 56-piece boutique silverware, sister Anna decided to go to the furniture factory tomorrow to make a showcase and put it in the restaurant. Guests are always welcome to use it in the future, making it both convenient and showy. It was only then that Claude realized that Mr. Rubiewell, the father of Boquer, was right, and that the family was now headed by her sister Anna, who had no say in these matters.

After you're busy with all this, what you need to think about is accommodation. The attic is now private to my brother Browick. On the third floor, the mother's bedroom and sister's maiden room, on the second floor, the former room of Albert could be used as a residence for Michael and Big Grimes, Claude could only have been in the former study, and now her sister Anna's pharmacy studio was paved.

Mothers and sisters went upstairs to tidy up their rooms, Claude, Mike and Big Gemmy were led by their brother Browick to the streets to see if there were clothing stores still open and to buy a few plainclothes for the three of them in case they were wearing uniforms all the time during their vacation.
