I Keep Witches While Others Keep Dragons

At night, the sun was setting.

As the night fell, the luxurious Bernard manor was lit up, like a bright star in the dark Moonlight Lake Street.

The carriages of the aristocrats also appeared at the end of the horizon one by one.

The mages flew over from the sky.

Soon, the small town along the lake, which was supposed to rest, was crowded with people.

Everyone’s destination was the unique manor in the small town: Bernard manor.

The dinner party would be held at eight o’clock in the evening.

It was only six o’clock in the morning, but there were too many aristocrats and mages registered at the gate of the manor.

“Nason, come here.”

When he was about to greet him, Thomas suddenly stopped Nason and said to Andrew, “Andrew, as a father, I have something to talk about with Nason in private. You can leave now.”

Dad and Nason had something to talk about? They didn’t know each other before.

But since it was his father’s request, Andrew shrugged and did as his father said.

Pulling Nason to the corner, Thomas looked around like a thief. After making sure that there was no one around, he took out a bag as big as a pear and pressed it in Nason’s hand.

“Nason, my son has always been taken care of by you. As a father, I don’t know it. It’s my fault as a father. This is a small gift. No respect.”

“I hope you can take good care of my son in Lion Eagle Mage Academy.”

Nason was confused.

He opened the wallet.

There were a lot of gold tickets and magic crystals in it.

Each of them was worth about 500 gold coins. There were about thirty or so.

Without exception, the magic crystals were all medium-level magic crystals. There were dozens of them, about 300 grams in total..

It was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

Generally speaking, a student wouldn’t be able to earn so much money even if he did the task to die in the test center?

What’s more, you only have to stay in the school for three years.

But Nason was expressionless facing such a large sum of money.

Thomas’s heart skipped a beat.

‘This bag was worth more than one hundred thousand gold coins. How could this student be indifferent?

He must have a very amazing background.

Oh my God! He was indifferent. Did he mean that I didn’t send enough?’

However, what Thomas didn’t know was that Nason was only thinking about one thing when facing the huge sum of money.

“What is the old man talking about?”

“I take care of Andrew?”

“Andrew seems to be better than me?”

But Nason was not good at communicating. He was just at a loss.

He didn’t know whether he should accept it or not.

“Nason, anyway, you will take good care of my son.”

“Don’t think too little of these. I will thank you in the future.

Nason didn’t know how to reply.

He had been abandoned by his father since he was a child because of his poor talent. Nobody taught him how to behave.

But he thought for a while.

Since he was an elder and the elder asked him to do so, he should not let the elder down.

So he nodded and said, “Okay, I see.”

Hearing this, Thomas felt relieved.

In the hallway, Andrew was waiting impatiently.

At this time, Thomas came out with Nason.

Along the way, his father smiled at Nason, which made Andrew suspect that Nason was his illegitimate child. They had just met each other.

Then he looked at Nason.

His face was livid as if he had fallen into a heavy blow. He even staggered.

“What did you say to Nason?” Andrew asked.

Thomas laughed and said, “It’s okay. It’s not a big deal. Let’s go. I’ll take you to expand your social network.”

“Oh, really?”

Although he was confused, since his father said so, Andrew didn’t ask more.

Andrew and Nason followed Andrew’s father to the banquet hall.

It was crowded with people.

There were four long tables in the shape of a circle in the empty hall.

The corridor of the second floor was full of people.

Red wine, champagne, evening dress, watching the battle.

The extravagance of the nobility was incisively and vividly shown in the banquet hall of three thousand square meters.

“Everyone.”

In front of the huge central spiral staircase, Thomas opened his arms and warmly said, “Welcome to the water resource party.”

All the nobles looked at Thomas and raised their glasses to express their respect and gratitude.

Thomas was the duke of the Hundred Flower Empire. Although he was getting worse, his status as an aristocrat was proved to be able to enjoy the richest Moonlight Lake District in the country.

All the aristocrats presented today had at least starting rank of the earldom.

Even if there were several barons, they must have made great contributions to Hundred Flower Empire.

Some people who were not aristocrats were all mages, and most of them were intermediate mages. Junior mages were only a few except apprentices to great men.

There were even six or seven advanced mages on the stage.

The advanced mage was a strong man. If he was hired in any country, he could at least get the starting salary of the general.

Being able to invite so many aristocrats and mages, it could be seen that Thomas was very successful as an aristocrat.

“Okay.”

Thomas made a gesture of silence, and the noise of the banquet suddenly became sparse.

He announced happily to everyone, “Today, I have to announce the good news.”

“That’s my son, Andrew. With the approval of Lion Eagle Mage Academy, he went home to visit family in advance and attended the party.

Then Thomas turned around and asked Andrew to come out. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

Andrew and Nason walked down the stairs slowly.

However, to his surprise.

Andrew’s appearance did not get the welcome of the aristocrats, but the warm atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped to the freezing point.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? You don’t like the food?” Thomas hadn’t realized the seriousness of the problem yet.

After this reminder, thousands of guests began to clap and welcome with fake smiles.

However, there was a hint of hypocrisy in the welcome, which was different from the enthusiasm of Thomas duke just now.

Even the applause stopped in two or three seconds.

“Uh…”

With a confused look on his face, Thomas duke smiled awkwardly and said, “Everyone, eat well and drink well.”

Then he took Andrew downstairs.

Along the way, Andrew heard his father mumble, “What’s wrong with them today? Is there anything wrong with my banquet?”

It seemed that his father still didn’t know the situation.

Andrew shook his head and sighed.

“Dad, the reason why everyone changed their attitude is not because of you, but for me.”

Andrew followed his father through the crowd.

The people who greeted their father were all enthusiastic and generous, while Andrew greeted them, they just had fake smiles.

This confirmed Andrew’s guess.

In the end, Andrew and his father came to a middle-aged man with gray hair and a broad build.

The middle-aged man wore a military uniform, and the straight edge seemed to be able to cut his hand. He was the veteran warrior.

“General Charon, long time no see.” Thomas greeted enthusiastically.

Seeing this, the old general named Charon shook hands with Thomas indifferently. “Duke Thomas, long time no see.”

“Don’t worry about the military sponsorship last time. General, you know, I was short of money at that time.”

“No, we all have inconvenience sometimes. Thomas duke is generous and has a good reputation. I won’t rest assured.”

“That’s good,” Thomas said as he gently pushed Andrew’s back to the front of the general. “Charon general, this is my son, Andrew. Andrew, call the general.”

“Hello, Charon general.”

Andrew greeted the elder politely.

However, when the Charon general saw Andrew, his face changed a lot.

“Grandpa, is this the loser Andrew you mentioned to me?”

At this moment, near Charon, a young man who looked a little like him came over. He was dressed in military uniform and had a fashionable hairstyle.

The young man looked about the same age as Andrew.

But when he looked at Andrew, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Thomas’s face suddenly froze.

“Loser… Andrew?”

“Asdan, don’t be rude,” Charon shouted.

The young man named Asdan lowered his head and said, “Yes.”

But he turned to drink the champagne and looked at Andrew with a sneer again.

“He is just a kid. I’ve been on the battlefield and neglected discipline. Duke Thomas doesn’t take it to heart, Please ” he apologized to Thomas.

Although Andrew was mocked by Asdan’s words, Thomas was heartbroken.

After all, no father would be willing to hear others say that his son was a loser.

Although he was so mad in his heart, he could only smile and say, “It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter.”

But before he could finish his words.

The crowd started to whisper again.
