"That accident was because of me. No matter how many times I think about it, if I just took a closer look at the titan, it wouldn't have happened.
Since the fall of the young master, the mute hasn't eaten or drank anything normally. He was just praying for himself.
Fortunately, the young master miraculously woke up.
He must have changed a lot, but Zhang Liao himself didn't know about these changes.
"I have no intention of holding you responsible for the accident, nor did the other retainers, it was not your fault."
Luo Manor is a small manor.
Dumb is also an iron mage, and the parts and equipment needed are difficult to find in time.
In that situation, Zhang Liao silently did everything he could.
Although the former Viscount - to whom he had sworn allegiance - was dead.
Even under the harsh conditions that he faced afterwards, he managed the three titans with his own efforts.
No one denies this. That's why no one held him responsible for the accident.
"Thank you, but I can't forgive myself."
"So you're going to keep ignoring something? Would you rather be a worthless drunk for the rest of your life?"
The mute nodded silently.
Lin Qing frowned at him.
"You used to hang around because you didn't like being chained to ten places? This guy! This stubborn and knowledgeable guy just can't get along with other people.
Zhang Liao liked his attitude in 477 and decided to become the retainer of the former Viscount of Lokan.
That frustrating guy can't be summoned in the normal way.
"Okay. If you can't forgive yourself, I must punish you."
"Little Lord!"
Hans called him firmly, Lin Qing raised his hand to stop him.
Dumb is ready to face anything.
Lin Qing gave him a check for 70,000 yuan.
"Little Lord?"
He was not cut on the neck by a knife as he expected, but when the money came in, Zhang Liao was a little flustered.
"I order you, Iron Mage, to use this money to build a magic tower in our manor, buy spell books and increase the equipment needed for maintenance and production, and then gather talented people and teach them.
"That, that..."
"Unlike other lords, I want to invest in magic, so please contribute to the development of magic in our manor and work hard to prevent future accidents."
They're just words, but it's kind of like a reward.
Support building magic tower?
Of course, whether a perfect magic tower can be built is a problem.
When things happened in front of him that he couldn't even dream of (cdai), the dumb was speechless.
Lin Qing gave him the last order.
"Never betray me or turn your back on this estate, it is your punishment that has been brought upon you, know your honor as a wizard, know how to do your duty.
The mute was still in grief, and wiped his tears with his robe.
He knelt in front of Lin Qing and swore.
"I will accept the young master's punishment for the rest of my life."
Hearing Zhang Liao's oath, Lin Qing smiled, and her voice softened:
"Added three Iron Mages. Make your own, whether you want to crush them or grind them."
"Thank you, young master."
Zhang Liao bowed to Lin Qing again.
Lin Qing then took a step back and started heading to the office.
The butler Hans followed behind his master with a warm face.
"You did a great job, you are much better at persuading the mute than me, and I will never treat our young master as young again.
"Hmph, no one is more stubborn than him."
A person who is more stubborn than a mute.
When Lin Qing was a warlock Simon five hundred years ago, he met a stubborn man.
Known as Rommel the Red Hammer, he was known to be the most stubborn of the dwarves, and for centuries he was known for his stubbornness.
Compared with him, the mute was nothing, and compared with that dwarf, he seemed to have no teeth.
"The more knowledge you have, the more you want to be recognized, and the more loyal you will be to those who can see you.
That's why Lin Qing didn't force Zhang Liao to make a mana oath.
He didn't have to, but the truth is, mana vows don't work on smart people.
If he feels that something is wrong, he can release the magic circle at any time.
"But, young master. Do you really want to invest in magic?"
"Yes, because magical engineering is in a new age.
With the advent of man-made magic stones, titans appeared on the modern battlefield.
Mouth knights don't deserve to suffer, but they still play a very decisive role in titan battles.
In addition, all kinds of magic instruments are constantly being produced and used in various fields.
Previous artifacts were expensive and produced in small quantities, but with the advent of magical engineering, artifacts began to be mass-produced and made of cheap materials.
Artifacts with simple magic are no longer exclusive to wizards or nobles, and magic lamps placed on street corners are more a symbol of progress.
Lin Qing, who has been to Lamer and broadened his knowledge, has no intention of ignoring these facts, no, reborn in a brand new era, he intends to become more active.
"But the Luo family is a master of swordsmanship."
"Correct. But the era of holding a sword to change the world is gone forever. The traditional swordsmanship is very important, but we must accept the power of new magic."
That was five hundred years ago.
Even before the titans appeared, the knights were trampled by legions of golems and the like.
Of course, rare monsters like Luo did appear.
But as the greatest man in history, he was the last knightly fire known to burn so brightly.
"Probably, under the order of the young master, get rid of the portraits of the ancestors and revive the family."
"Uh-huh."
To be honest, Lin Qing just didn't want to see Luo's stupid image.
So he ordered his retainers to remove all the portraits related to Luo, and told them not to mention it again.
Hans didn't know Lin Qing's intentions, and thought that the young master lost his memory in the accident and ran wildly, and the situation was not completely normal.
It's just that he was a little worried and wanted to revive the family's name!
"Because I'm a little old, my mind is as old as I am, but if you want to do things your way, I'd be happy to reshape the world at your command."
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it."
Lin Qing was relieved to see Hans bowing.
He is now a knight, and Hans was originally a titan rider representing the Luo family.
What's more, he is still the young master's right-hand man and the young master's patron saint.
Such a figure has already broken through his stubbornness.
Of course, his nature will not be changed so easily, and a little nagging is also necessary, as long as it is not excessive.
"Well, I finally dominate the Lu family."
His revenge will take a lot of work.
But he took a big step forward, and that first step will be a very important one in the long run.
The mansion in the north of Lamer City.
The sound of sizzle came from the residence of the monarch and count.
"What? Earl, you can't do that at the beginning of the morning.
