The Supreme Magic Throne

Chapter 12 First Connection

Rejected by three tailoring shops that looked rather luxurious in a row, Lucien was greatly distressed. Although it immediately showed the black veil once entered, the seamstresses still refused to believe and did not want to check the material of the veil, always full of vigilance against strangers like Lucian.

This market area was huge, with a total of over ten streets, many dwarves, elves, and other nations passing by, the market was extremely prosperous. Lucian quickly found an elegant and clean shop at the end of the street.

Behind the counter was a blond boy aged 15 to 16 years old with a shy smile asking, "The owner is making clothes in the back, my name is Banster, my name is Banster, do you know what you need?"

“Can you help check this black veil?” Lucien learned from his previous mistake, immediately took out a black veil and asked.

Banster thought Lucian wanted to look for a similar black veil, so took it without hesitation, and touched the texture of the veil with his finger, but his expression became even more startled, "Master, "Master, this material is from the black nightingale of the Kingdom of Holm. A black veil that only true nobles can have, where did you get it from?"

Like other tailors, she showed vigilance and suspicion. Lucian who was wearing tattered linen clothes, definitely could not afford this, because even many rich people could not afford it. Therefore, the origin of this veil is very suspicious.

Seeing everyone having the same reaction, Lucian lowered his voice, "Don't worry, this won't cause any problems."

“Serious?” A man in his thirties named McDowell with a slender face came out from behind the store. He is the owner of this tailor shop. Since Banster was startled and said strongly earlier, so he was distracted and came out to check, he had just heard an explanation from Lucien as well.

Not immediately driven out, seeing that there was finally a good interaction, Lucian's hope increased and a feeling of excitement emerged, "I swear to God, you can see also, the veil has been hollow, the veil has been hollowed, so no noble lady or mistress would have a problem about that. As long as you turn it into a lace or ribbon dress, no one will know its true form."

McDowell took the black veil from Banster's hand and looked at it closely. After a moment of silence, he calmly said, "Then how many?"

Lucien was excited in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, and nearly opened the price. But the previous experience against the red-eyed rat kept Lucien looking calm, looking at McDowell and smiling, "I'm sure Mister won't let me down.”

McDowell stared into Lucien's eyes for a few seconds, seeing that Lucian was not in a hurry, he said softly, "Fourty copper ferries, because they are hollow, so there are not many parts to use."

"One silver nar, if a beautiful long dress was decorated with a cloth made of black nightingales that were as beautiful as the night sky, it would be more perfect and more suitable for honorable ladies and ladies." Lucian forcefully endured his excitement, and bargained according to principle.

McDowell shook his head and returned the black veil to Lucian, "At most fifty fer copper, otherwise just look for another shop."

"It's a shame." Lucian took back the black veil quietly, turned around and walked out of the shop, but in fact his heart was full of tension and dilemma, would the shopkeeper stop him and raise the price? Or he will miss this opportunity and may not be able to find anyone willing to buy this veil of unknown origin.

One step, two steps, three steps, Lucian was about to leave the tailor's shop, and McDowell's voice finally sounded from behind, "Eighty fer of copper, if it wasn't for a long dress that perfectly matched the lace of a black nightingale, I wouldn't have bought it at such a high price."

Goody! Lucian who turned his back to McDowell excitedly put his right fist in front of his chest, then turned around and smiled, "Again."

Eighty copper-clad ferries were placed in Lucien's pocket, making his pocket bulging and impractical, but Lucian thought this bunch of copper ferries were very cute.

Before leaving, McDowell stopped Lucian, "I don't know you and don't want to know your name. But in the future if you have valuable cloth like this and will not cause problems, please consider this store again."

“That's my honor.” Lucian was in a good mood, so smiled and bowed slightly.

After exiting the McDowell tailor shop, Lucian discovers that the sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the air feels fresh, everything is so beautiful.

Eighty fer of copper was not too much either. In addition to making Lucian's savings closer to the five silver nar, it also proves that Lucian's method of collecting useful items from trash to make money works, which is the most important thing for Lucian.

"Sister Lucian, you've finally come home too, my brother has already arrived home. Mom told me to invite you to dinner together."

As soon as Lucian was not far from his house, Ivan was standing in front of his house. It seemed that Ivan was also looking at Lucian at about the same time, so waved and shouted in joy.

'John, the eldest son of Aunt Elisha's family, was a young man who had become an official knight.' Lucian recalled Ivan's brother, then smiled at Ivan, "Behold, I'll sweat first." Lucian did not want a pile of his copper fer to be seen by Ivan, for fear that Ivan might leak it. If you had collected five silver nars for the tuition, it would no longer be a problem, because Lucian would not have done this job forever.

Ivan replied with a smile, "Okay, Brother Lucian, by the way, my brother brought home a piece of beef that they hunted in the wild during knight training some time ago, and Mr. Wayne divides the fair."

"I was finally able to eat beef soup with potatoes, ever since my brother was picked up by Mr. Wayne and taken away to train at the manor, I've only eaten beef less than twenty times in two years."

His dirty face was filled with longing and greed.

Joel is one of the street singers who is quite good. Although her income was up and down, but still much better than the hard-working college workers, plus, Elisa was also paid to help the textile union wash clothes, she was also hired to help the textile union wash clothes, so the income of their families is actually close to the level of the people. But because to fund John to take the training, so they save money on food. That's what makes their lives a bit difficult, even sometimes asking for help from Evans.

After John is successfully chosen by Mr. Wayne, and fears the two of them could be relieved, Elisa starts planning Ivan's future life again. However, their lives are much worse than before.

Regarding this, Lucian who did not know much about this world did not find it strange. Instead, he thought that it was not bad for poor families to be able to eat beef once a month.

After hiding the copper ferries well and wiping off the sweat casually, Lucian followed Ivan to Aunt Elisha's house.

Outside Aunt Elisha's house, a group of Lucian's familiar neighbors gather, and talk about John,

"I heard little John was already the official knight bodyguard of Mr. Wayne.

"Elisa said it herself, she won't lie"

"We can't call little John again later, maybe Mr. John."

"Now that it still cannot be summoned, the official knight officer is qualified to be the city guard officer."

"Joel and Elisha were lucky once huh, their lives would improve in the future."

Lucian looked at Ivan suspiciously. Ivan continued to nod with a proud expression.

Entering the house, Lucian saw a young man with blonde hair and brown eyes standing up from a chair. John inherits a handsome look like Joel when young, tall and handsome, but the impression caught in Lucian's eyes is precisely his calm temperament.

“I was initially worried when I heard something happened to you, but it doesn't seem like a big deal, then I can be more relieved.” John smiled and patted Lucian on the shoulder, “Don't worry too much, this kind of thing is just an accident, just consider it a test from God."

Wearing a gray knight uniform, John looked very tall. But towards Lucian, he had the attitude of a mature older brother, even though he was only a year or two older than Lucian.

Lucian replied with a smile, "Indeed not a serious illness, it's just that Aunt Elisha was too worried, so a little nervous."

Ivan immediately said, "Foul, you always don't believe me."

John smiled and patted Ivan on the head, "Wash your face, you're ready for dinner."

When Ivan left, John smiled gently and gestured to let Lucian sit down, "Why? Just because I haven't seen each other for a long time, it feels foreign? We're best friends who grew up together."

“Yes, a little unfamiliar, I can't believe you changed much.” Lucian casually found an excuse.

John nodded seriously, "Knight training is not only physical training, but also behavioral and mental. It's very hard but the benefits are huge."

After a casual chat about John's training at Knight Manor's Master Wayne, Elisa greets Lucian for dinner.

There was only a stew of beef and grilled fish on the table, but Lucian who had eaten black bread every day, thought this was so delicious that he almost ate his own tongue. Joel also got an exception from Elisha because today is the official day John became a knight, so it is allowed to eat beef and drink hard as much as possible.

Throughout the dinner, Elisha happily rambled and continued talking. Joel, Lucian, and Ivan, who only cared about food and wine, only responded occasionally, but enough to make him very satisfied, while John kept following the knight's rules of eating without saying anything.

"Belch." Ivan burped long, and dinner was over.

John shook his head with a smile, "Ivan, overeating is not good for the body, do not do it again in the future."

Then he turned to look at Lucian, "Lucian, have you ever thought about your future?"

To this question, whether it was Joel or Elisha, they all took Lucian seriously.

Lucian replied cautiously, "There's no definite purpose yet, but I don't want to be like this anymore."

“Good, dissatisfaction with life is the power to move forward.” John nods in satisfaction, “The bakery and brewery at Mr. Wayne's home have recently been short on manpower, they want to recruit some interns. But after ten years of apprenticeship, workers had to stay in the manor. Lucian, think about it, and tell me the answer when I get home on Monday."

After becoming an official knight, John has the ability to change the lives of his family and friends, albeit a little, but it is very important.

In this world also has certain beliefs that are similar in the world of Lucian origin, so worship is held every seven days, which is a week.

"Okay, John." Lucian just got the first connection of his life. He had a more mature and better plan for his own future, he had no intention of selling himself for ten years. Because it would be too strange to refuse directly with the current poor situation, so he planned to reject it after a few days until next week.

John stood up: "OK, since Lucian is fine, then I'll return to Mr. Wayne's house before the city gates close." Then he hugged Joel, Elisha, and Ivan in turn, and did not forget to give Lucian a big hug, "Unfortunately, you are illiterate, otherwise, the manor housekeeper, his name is Downey, again it took a clerk to help him in the affairs of the village court. It's a decent paying job."

“I happen to want to learn letters.” Lucian took this opportunity to say.

John was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Lucian, you are so ambitious huh. Well, I'll help you find ways and opportunities, but the expectations aren't great, or they take a long time, so be prepared."

“Thank you John.” Lucian did not pin all his hopes on John, as he was quite confident in his own road plan.

Although for three days in a row Lucian did not find anything as valuable as the cloth from the material of the nightingale, but Lucian's savings were as much as one nar of silver and sixty-four fer of copper, so he walked out of the city gate excitedly.

Andre looked at Lucian who was walking away, saying strangely to Mark, "Why is that kid out of town every morning?"

“Andre, what are you talking about?” A friendly voice came from behind Andre.

Andre's expression became serious, he turned around quickly: "Good morning, Brother Jackson."

Leodos Jackson, the leader of Aaron's gang, has a very ordinary face, looks friendly and humble. But if fooled by his appearance, it would usually end up being extremely miserable. Whether it's sneaky, mean or cruel, Jackson is the best in Aaron's gang.
