The tenth sentence of advice
Maglin shrugged his shoulders and looked at Grace in a robe pedaling his long legs and leaning against the lounge chair without a ladylike style. He felt that she was like a kitten. Thinking of this score, he couldn't help smiling. ke rui si casually smashed an apple on the table: "What are you laughing at?"
Apple was hitting Maiglin's helmet, which had no time to dodge, and suddenly smashed the helmet crooked. Looking at Maiglin's funny look, Kerr smiled. The bodyguard turned from behind and told them that the Lord was waiting for them in the study.
Cris then stood up and walked upstairs with Maigreen, wrinkled the Duchess every day along the way. After the two greeted the Duchess, they were about to leave. The Duchess's eyes inadvertently glanced at her daughter's waist. The two black fingerprints, she coughed, "Cris, I suggest you change your clothes when you go to see your father."
Crace gave a ah, looked down along his mother's gaze, and immediately blushed: "It's this fool who sits behind the horse and is afraid."
Maglin also blushed and didn't dare to look into the Duchess's eyes, but there he apologized without knowing what to say: "I'm sorry, madam, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, madam."
The Duchess sighed helplessly, "Go, go."
The bodyguards held back their laughter and took them upstairs. They turned around and went up a staircase. A small reception room appeared, going in along the long gallery. The left passage was the Duke's study, and Cress turned to the corridor full of crystal mirrors on the right.
McGrim remembers that her bedroom is in that direction.
The bodyguard took Maglin to the study and whispered, "Your Lord, Maglin's magician has arrived."
It seems that every bodyguard in the ducal's mansion already knows Maigreen's identity, the magician? This official name is really proud. But when Maglin looked down and saw his old armor, he felt that it was not worthy.
The Duke's cold voice came from the study: "Come in."
The bodyguard pushed the door open and made a gesture of invitation to Meglin. After waiting for Meglin to walk in, he closed the door.
The study is very large, most of which faces the south, and the innermost wall in the east is a large bookcase. There is a large desk near the window, which seems to be made of oak, with some maps, scrolls, and some tools that Maglin doesn't know.
The Duke sat under the sofa by the window in casual clothes, facing Maglin in front of the desk.
Maglin quickly stepped forward, raised his feet side by side, pounded his left chest with his right fist and said, "See the Duke."
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I look a little soldier. Sit down."
Megrine hurried forward and sat on the sofa opposite the Duke. The moment he sat on the sofa, Maglin saw an arrow target at the Duke's feet. Several arrows were scattered aside, and a bow was casually placed behind the sofa to reveal a corner.
Aware of Maglin's gaze, the Duke also went straight to the topic: "Meglin, I saw the arrow target after you shot, 30 steps away, low-level infantry bow, arrow through the target. Have you really never learned martial arts before?"
"Really not, Duke."
"So, is this the first time you picked up a bow and arrow?"
"No, my father once had a shabby bow. I played with it, but this can be said to be my first archery."
"If I didn't know your past, I would have thrown you out of here. No wonder your captain began to think you cheated him. I heard that you want to learn martial arts?
"Yes, Duke."
The Duke stopped talking. He just held his chin and looked at Maglin carefully. Seeing that he felt creepy, the Duke asked him to stand up again, threw the bow to him, and asked him to pull it and show it to himself.
Maiglin took the bow according to his order, walked to the empty place, and then stood up. According to the posture that the Elf King had guided him, he beautifully opened the bow, and the bow was like a full moon.
The Duke's eyes lit up, and then stood up, walked to Meglin, and ordered, "La ten times."
"Duke, I can only pull it eight times." Maglin explained apologetically.
The Duke was stunned, took the bow, pulled it a few times, and commented, "Your strength is too poor, so you quickly pull it five times."
Maglin immediately pulled the bow string and pulled it quickly without any adjustment. The Duke looked carefully at the details of his movements, nodded slightly, and then pulled a knife and threw it to him: "Basic practice moves in the army."
"I will."
There is no need to wait for orders. Maglin raised his knife and danced well according to the instructions of the captain a few days ago. As a result, the Duke frowned and said, "Okay, it's soft. Your strength must be strengthened. Like you, when you meet a stronger enemy, even your weapons will be cut down with a knife. Not to mention riding on horseback, plus the momentum of a war horse. The waist and abdomen need to be more exercise. Sit down."
Maglin sat down with a gray face.
The Duke coughed and said, "Recently, there has been no war at the border gate, and I rarely have some leisure time. By the way, I returned to Lucheng to deal with some things. In a month, you will study with the magician of Wales. He is my good friend and also the mentor of Grace. He is very decent, but his personality is a little strange. You will know when you contact it."
"Yes."
"In addition, I heard that you want to learn martial arts. I was amazing when I saw the target you shot. But I just saw your dancing swords, and I found that you thought too much. After all, you are only 15 years old, and you were just trying to communicate elements and learn magic before, so martial arts, your foundation, no, you have no foundation at all. But you work very hard, and I can see from your experience that you are also very hard-working. I'm asking you now, Maglin, would you like to learn martial arts from me?
Maglin is simply overjoyed. Duke Robert is the well-known god of war in the empire, a strong man with subversive martial arts. Don't look at him sitting here with a smile, and sometimes he is even gloomy in front of his wife, because he is at home.
On the battlefield, Duke Robert has not been defeated once in decades. He is the only unbeaten general in the Rose Empire who has never lost once, whether in a one-on-one or a rush. Flame Sauron has a record of failure, but Duke Robert did not. And even the strong Sauron himself admitted that he would not be the Duke's opponent.
Now the Duke takes the initiative to teach himself martial arts?
"Don't be happy first." The Duke interrupted Meglin's reverie, but it was extremely satisfying for a young man's vanity to hear that he could learn martial arts with him.
If you are a person, you will have vanity.
The Duke looked at Maglin and said in a low voice, "First of all, our relationship is not between masters and apprentices. I'm just pointing out to you. You should know that you are fifteen years old and so weak. God knows what you will achieve in the future. You still have to learn magic."
Maglin just looked at him and didn't dare to say a word.
I'm afraid that the other party will change his mind.
"In addition, it shall not be disclosed to the public. I'm very disappointed in you this time. Although you spilled the beans under the pressure, I ask you, will you sell your own military information immediately when you fall into the hands of the enemy in the future?
"I'm sorry, Duke."
"Don't say sorry. There is no sorry in the soldier's dictionary, only life and death!"
"Yes, Duke."
"Humph. Also, it's still too early for me to teach you martial arts. I'll say the same thing. Let's exercise your body first. Here is a book I wrote about some ways to strengthen the body. If you can become a second-level magician, there is no problem with IQ. You can practice according to this and go directly to the Harlem housekeeper if you need anything. In addition, from this period of time, you can live in the Duke's Mansion. Don't go to the army again. It's meaningless to go there."
"Yes."
"Harlem will arrange for you to live. Xiyuan is not suitable. There are a lot of flowers and plants there. How to exercise? You can live in the same area with those bodyguards. They are all warriors who have been following me for many years. If there is anything you don't understand, please communicate with them. I'll see you when I have time."
"Yes."
The Duke seemed to be very talky today. He thought for a moment and said, "When the palace magician training begins, I will ask Grace to take you to meet the Wells magician. As for whether you pass his assessment or not, it's up to you. Once you pass his assessment, you can choose to live in the palace magic headquarters or live in Lucheng. Anyway, I also have another courtyard over there. Anyway, you are half a disciple of me now. I'll let you live there. There is some distance back and forth here, which wastes time.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
"Ye-huh, I hope one day you are qualified to call me a teacher." The Duke looked at Maglin and suddenly said, "Kid, do you know how good you are?"
Maglin looked at him puzzledly.
The Duke said, "The first 15 years do not count. From this year, you can first communicate elements and jump over the threshold of second-level magic. Then you get the appreciation of my wife and become good friends with my daughter. Now I teach martial arts. Look at the whole country, which young man has a good life like you?
Maglin half opened his mouth. He didn't know whether the Duke was bragging about himself or talking to him.
"So there is no need to rest assured about the hardships in the past. Be confident, strong and progressive. Don't let those who help you and appreciate you be disappointed, understand?"
"Yes, my lord."
The Duke seemed to have something else to say. The door was pushed open without saying hello. Maglin looked back. In fact, only Grace was so bold that he knew without looking. Sure enough, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and Grace had run to his father's side and wrapped it around his neck: "Father, that annoying guy hasn't left yet."
Maglin understood in an instant that the Duke was so talkous today that he didn't want to go out.
The Duke snorted twice and said nothing.
Maglin thinks it may not be appropriate for him to be here. He looked at the Duke and whispered, "Duke, if nothing happens, I'll go to the Harlem housekeeper first."
"No, sit here. I haven't finished talking to you yet. The Duke was very reluctant to leave.
Maglin had to sit down again.
Cris was pushed aside by his father. He only snorted, sat on the ladder of turning the book, and swung his feet. The Duke took a sip of tea and looked at the sky outside the castle and smiled bitterly: "That guy doesn't want to eat here, does he?"
McGlynch knew that it was not to say to himself. He looked at Grace, and Grace immediately showed a vicious expression: "Then I will put enough laxative in the dinner. Anyway, it's not the first time he has eaten it."
Maglin wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare.
The Duke seems to be a very spoiled daughter, and he is extremely disgusted with that guy. Even if he is a prince, he doesn't have to care too much about the status of the Duke and his identity in the royal family.
From the prince's attitude of disaping at the gate of the castle and not daring to enter without authorization, it can be seen that the duke is not only prestigious in China, but also in the royal family.
"A good man grows up among women all day and develops this temperament. Maglin, today you sit behind Grace and was seen by him. You should be careful in the future."
"Father." Grace shouted dissatisfied and shyly.
"Your mother also saw it. We happened to be looking at the scenery, and we saw you meet at the gate of the castle. Sorcester is a very cold guy, and you know what he thinks about you. Today, he saw Maglin sitting behind you. Well, he didn't dare to do anything to you. Didn't she dare to vent her anger on Maglin?
"Father! Can the prince do whatever he wants?
"No, but his father is the most powerful person in the world. And in this world, without power, there is nothing. Saying this, the Duke turned to look at Maglin: "But on the way to power, don't lose yourself, young man, remember my advice."
Megrine nodded blankly.
The sunlight is about to disappear, and the light in the castle room is dim. This is still on the third floor. The hall below must have been lit. The Duke sighed, "It's hard for your mother. Forget it, let's go down." Maglin, anyway, you were also seen by him. Sometimes before you find you, you just make a bad impression on the other party. Let's have dinner together in the evening. If I'm here, you don't have to give him face. Just help Kryce vent his anger. Do you dare?"
"I'm the youngest second-class magician in the country except for Grace." Meglin looked at the Duke with a smile. In the dim light, a pair of sharp eyes were sharp.
The Duke was stunned and said that Grace cheered.
"Good boy, I don't think you are a little bold. Well, you once did something to Harlem. He said you were Lord Rabbit? This bad bastard, in fact, Harlem is a good man, but his mouth is just a little poisonous. The Duke smiled and said to Maglin.
Maglin nodded and followed the Duke out.
The bodyguard has gone down to inform the servant below to prepare for the dinner.
The Duke has been taking Maglin to the bottom. The bonfire is raging in the hall. The Duchess is sitting there, opposite the prince with a pink face. Seeing the Duke flashing behind the screen, the prince quickly stood up: "Uncle."
"It's Sorcester. Why are you free to come to me today?" The Duke's attitude was not too affectionate to say hello to the prince with oily noodles.
Maglin was just looking at it. Under the bonfire of the fireplace, the Duke and Sorcester stood face to face. At first glance, there were two kinds of people, one was a man, and the other did not know what creature it was.
There was a smile on the corners of Maglin's mouth.
Prince Sorcester seemed to have seen Maglin, so he asked again, "Is this Maglin's magician?"
The Duke looked at his wife, and the Duchess squeezed out a smile: "Just now, His Royal Highness Sorcester was curious about who was with Grace. At first, he thought it was a soldier in the barracks."
"Oh, so McGrim looks like a soldier now?" The Duke laughed loudly, shook the walls, stretched out his big hand, and patted Meglin's shoulder a few times, which was very intimate.
His behavior made Sorcester's face a little ugly. In his memory, Duke Robert had never been so intimate with anyone, except for the generals or old subordinates he looked up to by his peers. Among the young people, he has never seen it anyway.
McGrim is very handsome. After putting on this old leather armor and straightening his back, he really showed some heroic spirit. Maglin stood there, and Cres stood beside Maglin extremely naturally. Naturally, he looked at the prince's heart. He squeezed out a hypocritical smile and asked, "I heard that Maglin's magician is from the hometown of St. John?"
"Yes, Your Highness." There was nothing picky about Maglin's etiquette, but his face was very cold, and a feeling of rejection a thousand miles arose spontaneously. Not to mention Soster opposite this attitude, even the Duchess felt it. She felt a little surprised and took a look at the changed Maglin.
And the Duke took the time to squeeze her eyes. In an instant, the smart wife understood. She looked at her funny husband angrily, and then looked at the little bird made by her daughter. She knew that it was the father and daughter who were now using Maglin as a gun, but they were not worried about Soster looking for him in the future. Is it troublesome?
However, thinking that under the protection of her husband and the future old man in Wells, Sorcester really has nothing to do with Maglin.
After all, the Duchess is still soft-hearted. Although she thinks so, she is also very impatient with Sorcester. She still made some gestures to solemnly introduce Sorcester's identity and others to Maglin.
When the Duke heard his wife introduce that Dawthurst was the owner of the Rose Medal, he instinctively showed a little disgust. The Rose Medal, a medal that can only be obtained by imperial warriors on the battlefield, must have the heads of five barbarians and a main battle weapon to capture the enemy. A guy like Sorcester went to the northern front once and met a ten-man Odin cruiser.
