Chapter 193: The Little Mage

Chapter 193 The Little Mage

Count Maltzkent of Emden has been a bit distracted lately.

I can’t say what’s going on, but it’s just inexplicable panic anyway.

He wondered to himself, could it be because Mr. Barnett hadn’t visited in a while?
Although this mysterious mage used to come and go without a trace, only coming to his territory once in a while, but after he revealed his future plans, it was a bit too unusual to just leave him alone.

Fortunately, when Barnett left last time, he gave him a detailed explanation of what he was going to do in the future and instructed Maltzkent: if he got caught up in something else and couldn’t get out of the way, just follow the plan.

This at least kept Count Kent from flying around like a headless fly.

But it didn’t seem like things were going too well on Barnett’s side.

According to the plan, he would have gone to instigate the pirates of the Northwest Gulf to attack the coastal territories, and then the Kent family would send out troops to quell the pirates in order to build up his prestige in the hearts of the coastal lords and create the conditions for the future ‘inheritance’ of the Duke of the Northwest’s throne.

But it seems that there is no movement now.

There was news about pirates, but they were wiped out by Alda’s Gleiman family. These pirates are really trash, even such a weak family can easily clean them up.

But it was that Paul Gleiman again, last time he spared him, how come this guy still jumped so much and spoiled his own good deed.

Barnett teacher is delayed, oneself do want to bypass the pirates this ring, directly start the next action?
Earl Kent all day uncertainty, worry, that special “drink” and drank a few more cups.

This day, he is in the study turning over books, with a view to this way to make their hearts not so anxious.

Suddenly the guards came to report that a small child requested to see him. The Earl of Kent was furious, how could anyone just ask to see him, what was the guard doing?

He was just about to scold the guard, when the guard seemed to have anticipated the Count’s reaction and hurriedly jumped the gun by adding, “He says he knows Master Barnett!”

“You idiot! Why don’t you hurry up and invite him in!”

Maltz Kent was truly furious this time! Why is this guard so uninformed.

“Invite him into the hall!”

The Count roared, and the guard answered coyly, falling away.

Maltz Kent at once changed at once into clean clothes, and with hurried steps came into the castle hall, and sat down on the principal seat to await his visitor.

In a short time there were footsteps in the corridor outside, and the guards led in a man.

“Really …… really …… really a small child?”

Earl Kent was somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

At first, he just thought that the other party looked younger, that’s why the guards said that a child had come to visit him.

But now the person who walked into the hall was indeed a little boy who was just over ten years old! The little guy was also holding a strangely shaped wooden staff, which was taller than his stature and felt very incongruous.

“Earl Kent! How do you …… do! My name is Andy, and I have come to help you as ordered by Master Barnett.”

The little boy had blonde hair and a fleshy face that looked very cute, only his speech stuttered and he seemed very nervous and shy.

The earl froze, the other party saw that he did not reply even more nervous, twisted and stood in the doorway in and out.

“Uh …… cough! You are?” He hadn’t heard what the little boy had just said.

“My …… name is Andy, and I have come to assist you as Master Barnett instructed.”

Andy stammered and repeated himself again.

“Come here and speak!”

The Earl grimaced, and honestly he didn’t really know how to react right now, so he had to pull out his usual dignified look.

“Yes …… yes, Lord Earl!”

Andy immediately trotted to Earl Kent’s side.

“You said that you were ordered by Master Barnett to come and help me, how can you confirm that you are not lying?” “This ……”

Andy cocked his little head, seemingly agonizing over how to prove it.

“Is this okay?”

Only to hear the little boy’s mouth spit out an unknown language, and then lashed the wooden staff in his hand to the ground.

With a whoosh, a ball of flame ignited at the tip of the wooden staff.

“Ah! You are …… you are ……”

The Count’s eyes were about to glaze over, this little kid in front of him was actually holding power he could only dream of.

“Yes, I am a mage affiliated with the Secret Law Society.”

Andy admitted in a small voice.

“Master Andy …… you have a seat!”

The reverence for the mage caused Earl Kent’s attitude to make a one hundred and eighty-degree turn at once, his voice softened and his tone of voice was much lower.

“I can’t afford the title of Master, you’d better address me directly by my name.”

Obviously Andy was very uncomfortable with the title “Master”, he shook his head uneasily and hurriedly corrected the other party’s statement.

“Then, little friend Andy, please sit down.”

Only then did the little boy sit on a chair next to the Count.

God is not fair! The Earl exclaimed in his mind.

Such a small child can wander in the sea of magic, while he is still being rejected, it is really more than people are angry ah.

Of course he wouldn’t show it on his face and immediately raised his most concerned question, “Where did Master Barnett go?”

Andy shook his head, “I don’t know, I was ordered by him a few months ago to be in your castle at this time, saying that he wanted me to help the lord here, and I was expecting to see him here.”

Earl Kent was very disappointed in his heart.

“Where did you come from?”

“A stronghold of the Secret Society, I can’t reveal the exact location.”

“And how did you come here?”

Let’s not say you’re a little kid trekking to the Northwest Bay, or that your stronghold is right under my nose.

But the Earl of Kent considered himself to have such a tight grip on the territory that a fly’s entry or exit was detected.

“There was another companion who escorted us here, we disguised ourselves as merchants and had a smooth journey.”

There were other mages traveling to and from the northwest? I wonder if I could find a way to meet them.

“Now that Mr. Barnett is away, do you have a way to help me all by yourself?”

The boy said a little uncertainly, “I can manipulate brain worms, will this help you?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Earl Kent was overjoyed, Barnett had told him that that time, a special worm was used to infiltrate Duke Ferdinand’s body and use it to manipulate the Duke’s brain.

He felt goosebumps all over his body when he first learned about it, what kind of scene would it be if he had a worm moving around in his brain, he shuddered at the thought of it.

As long as he could manipulate the Duke, then even without Barnett, everything else would be fine.
