Chapter 794: The Surname is Actually 'Aureolus'!

The young man was clearly frightened by Adams' frantic rush.

Although he hadn't seen the lord before.

But from the other party's attire and the guards behind him;

And from him asking about Alchemists right as he came up, he should be the person the village chief told him to wait for.

So.

Even though he was frightened.

After the other party asked, he immediately led Adams towards the direction of the banquet hall.

When Viscount Adams arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall under the villager's lead, he saw the two people dressed in one black and one white sitting by the window, extending their hands and launching magic out the window.

"What... kind of situation is this?"

Although his voice was so small that the people inside couldn't hear it, it was still heard by the village chief who rushed over.

So he immediately stepped forward to explain.

"They are probably practicing magic."

"Practicing?"

The Viscount was even more puzzled.

Because in his eyes, both of them were just using the most simple mana shots that couldn't even be called magic.

How did that relate to practicing?

"It's like this..."

The old village chief explained the matter a bit, and then Adams finally knew the reason.

They were actually people who couldn't even compress mana, or even didn't know about it?

Then they truly were Mountain Dwellers who had lived in the mountains since childhood.

Even the unseen robes paired with large pointed hats they wore were very likely clothes worn by Mountain Dwellers.

Not to mention, they looked quite nice.

Adams didn't doubt at all where the other party got these nice-looking and probably expensive clothes.

You should know the other party were Alchemists.

If you ask an Alchemist how they got their clothes, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

Do you still want to get along well or not?

"Oh right, you are..."

"Apologies, forgot to introduce myself, I am the village chief of Fernweed Village..."

"So you are the one who had someone notify me. Very well, this Viscount will remember it."

Regarding what the old village chief was calculating in his heart, Adams was of course very clear.

It would be better to say this was a kind of incentive policy itself.

So what should be given will definitely be given.

Even if he ultimately failed to retain these two Alchemists, it would still be given.

After all, those were Alchemists.

Even if he couldn't retain them, as long as this relationship was there, if there was a headache or slight fever in the future, he could still ask the Alchemists to take a look.

It would be better to say as long as they were proper Alchemists, just taking out one or two bottles of high-end potions or independently developed special potions from their hands would be enough to benefit a person for a lifetime.

Thus.

Adams, nodding at the old village chief, walked into the banquet hall under the old village chief's lead.

Over here.

Lan Qingyou and Elisa, who were practicing mana compression, stopped shooting and turned their heads to look after sensing someone behind them.

Subsequently, the two saw the old village chief leading a blond man in his thirties walking towards them.

"Hello, two esteemed Alchemists."

Walking up, Adams was very polite, placing one hand on his chest and bowing slightly to give a noble salute to the two.

His movements were very proper, gentle, and smooth.

One look and you could tell he had received a good education and possessed excellent character.

It was just that Lan Qingyou wasn't very interested in this.

Or rather, in her eyes, this was just a very polite and courteous greeting.

But Elisa was different.

After seeing the other party's action, she also stood up.

"Hello, esteemed Viscount."

Saying this.

Elisa took off her Witch's Hat, picked up her robe with one hand, and nodded at the other party as a return salute.

A bit strange.

At least Lan Qingyou had never seen this kind of greeting method.

But Adams was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

"Hahaha, it is an honor for our John family that the two of you could come to our North John County as guests. I wonder if the two of you are still accustomed to staying here?"

The reacting Adams laughed and walked towards the two.

That appearance was like seeing old friends he hadn't seen for many years, extremely polite.

This made both Lan Qingyou and Elisa a bit uncomfortable.

After all, neither of them could be considered social phobics.

So both of their reactions were relatively cold.

"It's alright, we live in tents anyway."

Lan Qingyou nodded slightly.

Although the reaction was cold, in Adams' eyes, this was being demure, this was good upbringing.

Although the other party were Mountain Dwellers living in the valleys.

But since they could study magic and alchemy, then their family must have been some aristocratic or great family before fleeing into the mountains.

Especially the one in white clothes.

Just from the noble salute she gave just now, one could tell she definitely didn't come from some commoner family.

They might not even be minor nobles.

You should know, this kind of salute originally should be lifting a corner of the skirt or robe with one hand, then slightly bending the knees and lowering the head.

But the other party, apart from lifting her robe, just nodded at him.

This kind of movement would only appear on one kind of person.

That was how higher-ranking nobles would return a salute to lower-ranking nobles.

And it had to be a younger person to an older person.

If the lady returning the salute was older, she might not even lift her robe.

And a family capable of educating their child like this must have been at least a Marquis before entering the mountains.

Or even a Duke!

So even if the other party's family had declined and they had become Mountain Dwellers now.

But as a noble himself, he still couldn't and wouldn't underestimate the other party.

Because that was an insult to noble bloodlines.

And at the same time an insult to the entire noble system.

"By the way, my name is Adams John, the Viscount of North John County, responsible for managing this area. May I ask how to address the two of you?"

Seeing the two's reactions were lukewarm.

Adams put away his thoughts and entered the main topic.

"My name is Lan Qingyou, and this white guy is called..."

"Elisa, Elisa von Aureolus."

Before Lan Qingyou could finish speaking, Elisa snatched the conversation.

She didn't want someone else to help her say her own name.

Aureolus!

It was actually Aureolus!

When hearing this name, Viscount Adams' eyelids twitched.

What did I say!

I told you the other party must be descendants of some great noble!

It was just unexpected that this descendant could be this great...

But this might be a good thing.

Just like the old village chief counting on him to bring some convenience to Fernweed Village.

As a Viscount guarding the northern border, he naturally also hoped the people higher up would bring convenience to him and the entire North John County.

And this convenience rested on these two people.

Previously, because he knew the two were Alchemists, he wanted to recruit them into his own family to increase his family's weight in the entire northern frontier of the Empire.

And at the same time have an extra channel to obtain magical tools and potions.

But now, due to there being someone with the surname 'Aureolus' among them, the matter of recruiting could basically be voided.

However, although the matter of recruiting was voided, it didn't mean he couldn't make up for it elsewhere...
