Shaking his head to dispel his reverie, Wayne entered the villa.

First, I washed my hands.

They then left the villa, intending to go eat first.

---

Fifteen minutes later,

In the central square of the academy, Wayne had just stepped out of the teleportation portal.

Then I saw a crowd of people gathered in the square.

See here,

Wayne, a Chinese man who naturally loved watching a spectacle, curiously joined the crowd and slipped into the throng.

After seeing the people surrounded in the middle,

His lips twitched involuntarily.

Only one thought occupied my mind: 'I've gotten myself into this mess.'

Surrounded by the crowd,

It was clearly a girl of eleven or twelve years old, and most importantly, there was a sign standing next to her.

The sign read:

[Missing Person Notice: A personal maid has gone missing. Her master's name is Wayne.]

of course,

This wasn't enough to convince Wayne that it was him. What truly confirmed Wayne's suspicions was the bottom of the sign.

There were also three words written on it.

Little elf.

Seeing this, Wayne was now absolutely certain that the person before him was probably General Derry's son.

But this is too abstract.

What are you talking about? With a family as big as yours, do you think you can't find out where I live?

Just come to my house if you need me!

Wayne paused for a moment,

Listen carefully to the discussions around me.

"Has it been three days already?"

"That's right, this kid named Wayne is really something else."

Such a big person,

It's been missing for three days and I still don't know.

"Tsk...still a personal maid..."

.........

As Wayne listened, he finally understood the whole story.

simply put,

Three days ago, the girl in front of him began this kind of life. Shaking his head, Wayne stepped forward.

"I am Wayne."

The words fell.

The girl looked at Wayne and giggled, "Hehe."

"I've been waiting for you!"

At this moment, the crowd erupted into discussions, eager to see what was going on.

Wayne shook his head.

He put away the sign, tapped his finger, and a flight array unfolded, lifting the girl and himself into the air.

They flew towards the teleportation channel in the cafeteria area.

---

Fifteen minutes later,

Inside the cafeteria, Wayne sat at a table, looking at the girl in front of him, and asked her calmly.

"Given General Delhi's status and power, he was able to locate my residence."

It should be fine.

Why do you do this?

The girl shook her head: "Then you overestimate your father and underestimate the Lord Wizard Academy."

The father could not be found.

Before the academy, or rather the Tower of Truth, even if her father was a seventh-level Holy Dragon Knight...

But it's still not enough.

Wayne was somewhat surprised by what he heard, but mostly relieved.

after all,

If even a level seven Holy Dragon Knight is like this, then Wayne can be even more at ease about raising the little sprites.

It's good news, not too bad, but not too bad either.

therefore,

Wayne's initial embarrassment and anger subsided, and he looked at the girl opposite him.

I also think it's a bit cuter.

"You know my name, so what's yours?"

Upon hearing this, the girl sat up straight and spoke in a solemn tone.

"My name is Derry Aurora."

Wayne nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Then he said calmly:

"Your father, General Derry, intended for you to be a follower."

Not a maid.

"Then, Aurora, state your purpose."

The girl smiled brightly.

"My father told me about this when he got home on the day the new students registered, so I wanted to come and see you."

The reason I wanted to become a maid was...

It's because of my own thoughts.

Wayne looked at the girl in front of him, somewhat puzzled:

"My own thoughts?"

Why?

I want to be your woman.

Wayne's defenses crumbled instantly.

"Aurora, you beast! I'm only twelve years old!!"

Looking at the excited Wayne,

The girl nonchalantly curled her lip: "It's like everyone's twelve years old."

Moreover,

My brother already had a son when he was twelve.

Upon hearing this...

Wayne's lips twitched. That was true, but the idea that one only came of age at eighteen in his previous life was deeply ingrained in him.

That's why I'm so excited.

Forget that this is another world. Although it appears very advanced due to its extraordinary power, the overall era is still similar to the Western Middle Ages.

My heart calmed down.

Wayne couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you want to be my woman?"

This is our first time meeting.

Isn't that right?

Aurora shook her head: "Your talent has already determined your fate."

Your future is bright.

Becoming your woman is not a loss for me, and it's a knight's training...

They need resources the most.

Although I was born into the Derry family, the Derry family is a newly established family and not a lordly or noble family.

Therefore, the family's resources,

It can only supply the three older brothers.

They simply can't spare any resources to invest in me.

Upon hearing this,

Wayne asked skeptically, "Your father is a level seven Holy Dragon Knight."

He's not some kind of powerful figure you see everywhere.

How could they not be able to supply it?

Besides, wasn't your father, General Derry, also a nobleman?

Upon hearing this,

Aurora smiled.

"It seems you really don't know much about the Empire."

Then he began to explain.

"The nobility of the empire is divided into two types: one is the lord wizards who are hailed as the protagonists of the era."

They are the true nobles.

Under the empire, ranks were divided into princes, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons.

Six titles.

The other type is the "Lord," which is conferred upon those who have rendered meritorious service to the empire or a lord.

It is divided into seven levels in total.

That is, First Class Lord, Second Class Lord...

This kind of aristocracy,

It is a vassal state.

Besides having the corresponding strength, one must also have made meritorious contributions. For example, my father was a seventh-rank lord who also served as a general in the Knights Order.

This kind of lord

Because they lacked resources of their own to produce, all resources were controlled and distributed by their vassals.

Like the Delhi family,

It's all thanks to the resources distributed by the empire.

As the girl finished speaking.

Wayne also learned a great deal, and at the same time, he also learned that...

When I was in the City of Roses,

Why is it the descendants of martyrs who made meritorious contributions? It was originally thought to belong to those who were martyrs who had rendered meritorious service, but now it seems...

The character 勛 (xun) in 勛烈 (xunlie) means noble.

But at the same time,

Wayne was a little confused. Did he have to rely on people's moods to make a living?

"Can't they go into business?"

Aurora chuckled softly.

"Of course, there are those who engage in business. For example, my mother is a level six wood elemental wizard."

He runs an alchemy potion shop.

But even so,

Providing enough for their own cultivation, plus my three older brothers, was already the limit.

and,

Because of his three older brothers, his father and mother's spiritual practice also came to a standstill.

Upon hearing this, Wayne

He glanced at the girl in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression.

Finally, he uttered a sentence.

"It seems your father loves you very much."

Upon hearing this,

Aurora naturally knew why Wayne said that, so she smiled broadly, her tone tinged with pride:

"certainly."

However, after a moment's pause, the girl shook her head again.

This is because,

The Delhi family is a newly established family.

There are only six core members in total, and I am the only girl in the Delhi family.

That's why they receive this kind of treatment.

If I had been born into a family with a long and distinguished history, then given my talents,

I am afraid,

They will only be used as tools for political marriages, disappearing from this beautiful world a hundred years from now.

Upon hearing this,

Wayne remained noncommittal.

Top-tier talent and a powerful family are both their trump card and their backing.

However, if one lacks talent, a powerful family will not only fail to be a trump card, but may even become a disaster for them.
