Staff and Autumn Wind(1/2)

It was already midnight when I left the office of the "Hawk" and left the gate of Tide Academy. Compared with the lively atmosphere in the eastern district of Salucien, the western district seemed very quiet at this time, with few cars and horses coming and going, and only the city defense team patrolled the streets. For example, the "second-generation ancestors" like Alvin, most of the city defense teams knew each other, so naturally no one would come to find it uninteresting.

Alvin yawned, turned a few turns along York Street in the West End and returned to the Earl's Mansion. The guards at the door were not surprised to see Alvin coming back at this point.

The Earl has rarely disciplined his son since he was a child. Alvin's mother passed away early. Alvin's childhood was with the children of Lords such as Laiwu, Kaiba, and Chenzhu. Fortunately, these friends who have been playing since childhood were just lustful and lustful. After Alvin grew up, the Earl turned a blind eye to this only son who likes to stay in various mansions in the East District. It seems that there is no big problem except for being weak. After all, the Earl came here like this when she was young.

Alvin returned to his room, and his head was filled with "Hawk" all night, and he was very drowsy. After washing it, he fell back and fell asleep.

There was no class the next morning, and Alvin slept until noon before getting up. He was too sleepy and his head was still very drowsy. He began to think about how to talk to his father. The pocket money he had spent this month in the middle of the month had been done in the "Xun Mansion" and had to buy this staff. He thought about it but didn't know how to talk.

He knew that this old man rarely went out, so he walked towards the study while thinking.

Earl Feilie was sitting in front of a large and luxurious desk, flipping through a picture album of the territory of the Yafei Empire. When he saw Alvin coming in, he looked up at him, and then buried his head.

"Father, Professor Fei Timo told me a few days ago that he wanted me to attend this pillow sword meeting." Alvin said seriously.

"Well, good things. Get ready, don't embarrass the professor." Earl Feire said, looking up at Alvin again, as if nothing unexpected happened.

Alvin thought that his father saw his usual careless appearance. He wondered, "Why is it expected to see his expression as if he was participating in the Pillow Sword Club?"

"But...father, I have to...I have to buy a handy staff" Alvin began to get to the point.

"Hmm? Didn't you just received three hundred Luni?" the count asked with a frown.

"Yes, but, um..." Alvin stammered with his head down.

"Have you used up again?" The count's voice became louder.

Alvin said "Hmm" in a low voice that was almost inaudible.

"Damn it." The count slapped the book on the table, "Do you know that Sanbai Luni can buy a few farmhouses outside the city? If you don't study well in the college, where are you thinking about it? Ah?"

Every time I was scolded by the Count, Alvin's concept of converting Looney was to exchange several farmhouses outside Saluci.

"I am still in charge of the family now. If you were the one who was in charge, would it be better? Will the fields outside our city be enough for you? Ah?" the count cursed at the head.

Alvin lowered his head with a red face and looked ashamed. This performance was already perfect.

"Father, there is nothing I can do about this. I don't want to go. It's hard to refuse my name mentioned by the professor, right?" Alvin whispered.

"Did I tell you about this? Why did I scold you? Do you not understand?" the count continued, "You are like this, I have to dig gold to support you, right?"

Alvin lowered his head.

Earl Feilie cursed for a while, took a sip of water to moisten his throat. Looking at the son who had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, his anger gradually faded.

"Professor Fei has always been very accurate in his eyes. Don't let others feel cold." The count's tone softened and sighed, "Forget it, you can go to the account to get two hundred Luni, it's enough for you to buy a staff, right?"

"Enough, enough." Alvin nodded with a smile.

The Count waved his hand without looking up, stopped looking at Alvin, and sat down and began to study the picture album.

Alvin looked ashamed and walked out of the study.

After paying money from the account, Alvin took a sheepskin bag and walked out to the college to attend classes with a brisk step. Unlike usual, he put on all the jewelry he took from Fetimá.

There was no class with the students of the Martial Arts Academy for an afternoon, nor the "Hawk" class. No one chatted and joked by Alvin, nor forced him to listen to the class attentively. Alvin looked depressed and uninterested in the magic potion class throughout the afternoon.

After finally running until evening, he carried his bag and went to the gate of the martial arts institute to block the friends.

Chen Zhu, Lai Wu, and Kaiba all looked like they were infatuated after class for one day. They all walked out of the yard with their hands behind their heads lazily. But when they saw Alvin guarding the door, they couldn't help but smile.

"What do you mean, brother?" Chen Zhu said with a smile, "I'll have a trip to Xun Mansion tonight?"

"Yes, are you so strong now?" Lai Wu smiled and looked up and down at Alvin.

"I'm just going, I'm short of money if I want to go." Alvin cursed with a smile.

"Stop talking, who isn't it?" Lai Wu grinned, "I originally wanted to ask my brothers to accompany you, but you have to come."

"You two Dukes' family, one of the Marquis' family, are you embarrassed to cry poor with me?" Alvin said angrily.

"There are so many brothers in the family..." Lai Wu's face looked sad.

"What do you mean, where are you going tonight?" Kaiba asked.

"I'm going to go to Lu Zheng Equipment Store tonight. Who do you accompany me? Alas, for the sake of the sword club, Lao Fei made up for me for the equipment knowledge class last night." Alvin sighed.

"Stop talking, you and Lai Wu can go to the sword meeting, Kaiba and I can only watch it with a look." Chen Zhu showed unhappiness and squinted his eyes at Lai Wu. "By the way, Lai Wu, have you stuffed money to that old man Tieyao? Otherwise, why would he recommend you to go? Or did your old man put pressure on him?"

"Your old man is also a duke, so please let him try it?" Lai Wu said angrily, "Will anyone who can become a professor in Tide's college like money? Or will he pay attention to your family background?"

Chen Zhu thought it was true that in addition to ordinary salary, the national finance department also had additional subsidies, and the income was very generous. Moreover, most of the professors were at the level of a samurai or a great magician, and his Majesty the King was not inferior to the nobles with hereditary titles at all. Therefore, no matter which college you are in, you will be respected by students when you reach the level of a professor.

"Lu Zheng? Is it the Haiwen Street in the east district of the inner city?" Kaiba glanced at Alvin.

"Yeah. Wow, you know, I don't know that there is such an equipment store on Hawen Street." Alvin said in surprise.

"How could you know? You even asked us to lead you there in the mansion, haha." Kaiba laughed. Chen Zhu and Lai Wu also laughed at Alvin when they heard this.

"When it comes to Hawen Street, I remember there is a tavern called "Bauhinia Pavilion". It is quite romantic and has the best Zham whiskey." Lai Wu turned the shop out of his mind, and then said, "Although it is not as good as Yofen's red wine, it has a rough and refreshing taste. Wow, I really don't say it. Alas, Chen Zhu, do you remember that I've been with you?"

"I remembered it when you said that, yes, the whiskey in that store is really great." Chen Zhu also remembered it. He turned his head and smiled at Kaiba, "That's it, you accompany Alvin to go to that equipment store, buy it and then go to that bar to find us."

"Yes, yes." Lai Wu said with a smile.

"Why is it me?" Kaiba said angrily to Chen Zhu, "Why do you go to drink first?"

"What does it mean? Are you so unhappy to buy some equipment with me?" Alvin cursed.

"There's no way, you'll tell me that you know the way first." Chen Zhu said with a smile.

"Fuck, I didn't say I knew each other." Kaiba was indignant.

"No, will you die if you buy a piece of equipment with me?" Alvin continued to curse.

"Yes, brothers over the years, will you die if you buy a few pieces of equipment with him?" Chen Zhu also blamed him.

Kaiba somehow retorted, and Lai Wu laughed secretly.

"No, didn't you just say you had no money and you still bought some equipment?" Kaiba glared at Alvin with anger.

"Stop talking, I was scolded again this morning. You know, it's about several farmhouses outside the city." Alvin said with a wry smile.

Kaiba also smiled angry when she heard this. Over the years, they all knew clearly what the old man in the Elwen family had told him about.

So the corrupt "Four Young Masters" got on the luxury carriage of the Laiwu family and drove towards Haiwen Street in the east district of the inner city.

When he arrived at the entrance of the "Bauhinia Pavilion" tavern, Alvin looked carefully. It was indeed quite romantic as Laiwu said. The entire storefront was made of maple wood, and it was matched with wisteria of varying thickness. It was not a strange thing to be called the "Bauhinia Pavilion". Sitting under the specially made wide wooden eaves, the drinkers could drink wine and watch the street view in the evening breeze, and the elegant seats in the inner room were separated by screens, which were quite thoughtful.

Lai Wu and Chen Zhu walked in first proudly, and Kaiba, who had a long face, had to lead Alvin to the end of the street.

When I arrived at the door of the "Lu Zheng" equipment shop, Alvin looked at the era-like window. It was obviously not the fashionable decoration now, but it was clean and exquisite. It looked like it was an old store that had been open for decades. However, the paint was renovated, and it seemed that the owner of the store was also very particular.

The two of them pushed the door and went in. An old man who looked like a manager got off the counter and came up. He looked much older than Professor Fei.

Alvin looked at the store, which was a little cramped, but it looked good. Most of the display cabinets on both sides were rings and jewelry engraved with runes, some armor, and scrolls of all sizes. On the back of the counter were various classics of a whole wall, and some looked quite old. There should be some objects behind the counter, but they were blocked by the bookcase, leaving only one walkway.

"Two Your Highnesses, what are you going to buy?" The old man looked at the two young men's outfits and knew that his net worth should be good.

"Oh, old sir, that's right. I want to choose a handy staff to use at the pillow sword meeting. Professor Feitimofe recommended me to come here," Alvin replied with a smile.

"Oh, that old boy Fei Timo, I haven't seen him in several years." The old man looked at Alvin a few times, then said with a smile, "It's good to have a pillow sword. The little guy can be recommended by Fei Timo at a young age. He must be extraordinary in his skills."

"Hey, I'm really afraid I'm going to lose the professor this time." Alvin looked ashamed.

"Hey, Fei Timo's eyes are poisonous. I haven't seen him missed anyone. You don't have to underestimate yourself." The old man comforted him.

"I hope so, I hope so," Alvin said with a wry smile.

"What about this highness, what do you want to see? Are you going to go to the sword? "The old man politely asked Kaiba.

Kaiba quickly waved his hand, "Old man, I actually came with him. I just want to stroll around casually. You can go with him and choose a magic wand."

"Okay, that little guy, come with me." The old man waved and led Alvin into the inner room.

It turned out that there was indeed a unique world when I came in from the aisle. The old man snapped his fingers, and the gas lights on the counters on both sides lit up. On one side were dozens of magic wands of all sizes, and on the other side were weapons of martial arts technicians, with familiar fists, swords, and some weapons that Alvin had never seen before.

When Alvin saw dozens of staffs of all sizes, he suddenly became bigger. Wouldn't he have to try them one by one?

The old man naturally understood Alvin's expression and said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, little guy, the old man will help you see, it will definitely not delay you for too long."

Alvin breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, little guy, you have two rings on your hand and the necklace on you were given to you by that old guy Fei Timo?" the old man squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Wow, old man, your eyes are also very poisonous," Alvin exclaimed, looking down at his two rings.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "Where is there, my old eyes are dizzy. I only saw it clearly when I got closer. These jewelry were bought from me by Fei Timo back then. Now I see it again, I can't help but feel a little moved."

"Are these all Professor Fei bought from here?" Alvin asked.

The old man nodded, "It's been decades ago. He has only become a lecturer for a while and hasn't become a professor yet."

"These jewelry are all good things. Little guy, it seems that Fei Timo likes you very much." The old man smiled and began to set up a staff for Alvin's relics.

Alvin didn't know how to answer, and said "um".

"I guess you should use instant magic mostly, that... it's a short stick." The old man muttered in a low voice, not knowing whether he was talking to Alvin or talking to himself.

The old man picked the short wand for a while, pulled out one and handed it to Alvin, "Come on, try this."

Alvin took it in his hand and looked at it. There was a purple gem on the top of the staff, and I don’t know what material it was.

Alvin held the staff, and an intermediate fireball spell gathered at the top of the staff. What surprised Alvin was that the fireball actually appeared purple, and the speed of gathering was unexpected to Alvin.
