The Book Eating Magician (193+)

Chapter 237

Second #1

The day after arriving in Sipoto, Theodore had breakfast with Heinrich and said goodbye.

Heinrich couldn’t hide his confusion as he asked if there was a problem, but Theodore just shook his head with a smile. Setting aside their age difference, it was easy for Theodore to talk to Heinrich.

If it wasn’t for Heathcliff’s prophecy, Theodore would’ve stayed for three or four more days.

Heinrich seemed to read this in Theodore’s face and sighed with disappointment. He would’ve enjoyed a conversation with Theodore while reading books all day long, but an old man couldn’t keep the young here.

“Huh, you are only staying one night… If I had known this, I would’ve stayed awake talking last night.”

“My heart wanted to, but my body didn’t obey. I’m afraid I’ll have to take a rain check.”

Then Heinrich laughed playfully. “Do you want new books?”

Theodore understood that Heinrich was half joking and half serious. “Huh? Ha, hahaha! Sir Heinrich hit the nail on the head. That passion would’ve been great if you walked on the path of a magician.”

“Hearing such a compliment from the hero of Meltor, this old man’s lungs won’t survive. Hahaha!”

The two people’s hearts met on the same page for a while before they got up.

The servants cleaned up the table, while Heinrich and Theodore walked along the hallway toward the main entrance. This encounter with the young hero who might leave his name in the history books… It was interesting for Heinrich to have met a hero who was interested in knowledge.

They left the mansion and headed outside. Theodore looked at the carriage in front of the main gate before pausing and turning to Heinrich.

“Then Sir Heinrich, take this.”

“Hrmm?”

It was an iron piece engraved with two horses. The piece was high-quality iron with few impurities. Obviously, it wasn’t an ordinary iron piece. Heinrich had lived for at least 20 years in Kargas, so he recognized the iron piece at first glance.

“A badge of the Polonell Company.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Why are you giving it to me?”

Theodore nodded and gave a brief explanation, “I know this is something that can’t be traded. But it proves my identity. If Viscount Brahms from yesterday or someone else makes a fuss, please go to Bear in the Polonell Company and tell him my name. Then he will help you.”

“…You are too mature for your age. Despite my reluctance, I will accept your consideration.” The emotions in Heinrich’s eyes deepened as he received the Polonell badge. It was easy to overpower or defeat others with force. However, it was rare to pay attention to the consequences that happened afterward. In this turbulent age, Theodore was truly a hero.

Feeling a slight reverence toward Theodore, Heinrich bowed again and thanked Theodore for his goodwill.

After that, Theodore got on his carriage. “Let’s go.”

The knight sitting in the driver’s seat wielded the reins firmly. It wasn’t done with any sophisticated technique, but it was enough to move the horses.

Hiiiing!

The two horses ran forward, and the carriage soon left Heinrich’s residence. The border city had well-maintained roads, so the carriage’s traveling speed wasn’t greatly reduced in the city. Theodore sat in the occasionally shaky carriage and regretted the farewell before starting to worry.
