Chapter 282: Why didn't you come out earlier?
The battlefield was a mess, with goblin and ogre corpses lying on the hillside.
A group of wounded guards were waiting in line for the treatment of the dark priests. The dark priest had a headache treating so many injured people alone. His magic power was consumed seriously after he healed people continuously.
Fortunately, the caravan was the least short of money. Gugu and Jiji carried a lot of magic potions. Once the priest ran out of magic power, they would give him a magic restoration potion.
It was getting late, so the team didn't leave. They left the official road and came to a small river nearby. They camped there. They put their carriages on the outside as walls and raised camp fires in the middle. It was a happy and warm picture.
The guards brought out all kinds of food, and barbecue was set up on the fire.
The rich second-generation nobles came all the way from Westwind Town, so they ate a lot. They even learned the "BBQ" game from Robb. They cut all kinds of food and vegetables into small pieces and baked them on the barbed wire. It looks much more elegant than the way that people like Gugu and Jiji used to do to roast a whole leg of lamb or a whole chicken on the fire.
Gugu and Jiji could not help coming over and said with a smile, "Your barbecue style looks very new and unique."
The nobles laughed, "This is the way of eating invented by Godfather. It is elegant and high-end. Now it is a must for gentlemen in Westwind Town."
Since they heard it was made by Godfather, Gugu and Jiji stopped talking nonsense and wanted to learn it more quickly.
However, the second generation of rich people are much poorer than Robb. Their BBQ can't use sesame oil to brush it, nor can they put pepper and soy sauce on it.
Robb saw Kante take out a small glass bottle half-full of pepper in it. He carefully sprinkled a little pepper on the barbecue, fearing that he would waste a little. Then he picked up the meat and threw it into his mouth, showing a very happy expression, "Ah, it's really gentlemanly to eat barbecue like this."
Robb had to secretly roast him, [Were you influenced by your uncle? That everything should be related to being a gentleman.]
Gugu gave a thumbs up to Kante, "Young man, your performance during the day was excellent. I saw that you charged up the hillside and cut down many goblins. You will become a brave warrior in the future."
Kante said with a simple face, "But I want to be a magician."
Gugu: "..."
It's impossible. Gugu didnt know how to say it nicely so had to change his words and asked, "Well, I saw two wind blades flying out of your carriage from time to time. It seems that there is a very good magician in your team. Can you introduce him to us?"
When this question was asked, the group of rich second generation nobles looked at Robb at the same time.
The eyes of Gugu and Jiji followed their eyes and saw a young man with black hair, good appearance, but ordinary temperament. He was wearing a white washed suit, with a simple wooden staff beside him. He did not wear silk stockings. He was wearing unfashionable and old-fashioned pants, Behind him stood an ugly maid in patched linen (Suofa made herself look ugly).
The first reaction of the two men was, [A fallen noble.]
Real nobles will not dress like this. These days, nobles are all wearing new silk dresses, knickerbockers, and the famous silk stockings produced by Westwind Town which makes them look noble.
People like Robb must have no money at home to dress up, otherwise at least one of the most popular silk stockings should be on him.
Kante said, "Brothers name is Robb Smith, grandson of John Roland Smith, a famous magician of the Wind Knights."
"Huh?" This introduction surprised Gugu and Jiji, "The Smiths? Sixteen years ago, during the Black Dragons Flight, the Smiths were killed by the Black Dragon. Why are there orphans alive?"
Rob put on a deep face and threw out the prepared speech, "Well, dont laugh. I'm... an illegitimate son."
As soon as this was said, everyone's faces suddenly showed a sudden understanding. You can guess the following without Robb explaining.
Robb continued, "I was hidden in the countryside by my father when I was young. He didn't take me to the city. So, when the Black Dragon attacked the Black Earth Tower 16 years ago, I was living with my mother in the countryside. At that time, I hated my cold father very much, and even wanted to abandon my identity and become an ordinary civilian. Unexpectedly, I escaped a disaster because of this. Therefore, I don't hate him anymore. Im the only one of the Smith family left; alone. I have to accept my identity, cheer up, and restore the prestige of the Smith family..."
The second-generation nobles nearby all showed a dignified look. Kante also came to pat Robb on the shoulder to comfort him, "Ah, let go of the past!"
Gugu and Jiji are not so easy to fool. It's not uncommon for a country boy to come out and pretend to be a noble. There will always be one every few years. In the end, most of them are exposed to be fakes.
Gugu put on a serious face, "Do you have any keepsake to prove your words?"
Robb opened his backpack, took out his family tree, the family emblem and the seal of the Smith family, and put a lot of messy things in Gugu's hand, "Look, my mother gave it to me before she died. She said that an old servant brought it to her from the Black Earth Tower before the family collapsed..."
Gugu and Jiji picked up the genealogy and looked carefully. It seemed that they could not see through that its a fake. They were surprised, "Since you have this thing in hand, why didn't you take it out earlier? You hid in the countryside until you were 20 years old. If you came out early, the kingdom would not treat you unfairly because of your grandfather's contribution to the kingdom of Gran."
Robb pretended to smile bitterly, "The thunder magicians are very powerful. Knowing that someone in the Smith family is still alive, they will definitely suppress me, so I hid in the countryside. Until last year when her Majesty the Queen made a comeback and drove Mondra away, and the thunder knights also stood on Mondra's side, I felt the opportunity and decided to come out."
When Gugu heard this, he had no doubts left. He even felt that the young man was good and could see the situation clearly. If he had gone out of the mountain a few years earlier, he would have to be tied down to Mondra. The Thunder Knights were great. As a wind magician, he would have been beaten down badly.
