Bang!
The firewood in the fireplace kept emitting sparks as it burned, but it was extinguished into ashes halfway before it hit the ground.
Hulim had been staring at the fire in front of her for several days.
"Where is the fire element?"
"Mother said that the presence of elements varies depending on the environment. This should be the place with the most fire elements, but why can't I see it?"
Just as Hulim squatted motionless in front of the fire.
Yamen came up behind Hulim with a hesitant look on his face.
"Well... I mean Hulim,"
"What's wrong, Brother Yamen?"
Hulim looked back at Amen.
"That's... that's, could you please not use the fireplace in this weather? It's hot. Honestly, it's really hot!"
Boom!
At this moment, a huge fist landed on Yamen's head.
"it hurts!"
Yamen fell to the ground holding his head.
Behind him, Lezelian clenched his fists with a ferocious look on his face.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Why are you asking me, kid? Daddy hasn't said anything, why are you complaining here?!"
"It's rare that Hulim is so motivated. As his brother, if you don't set a good example, then what's the point of causing trouble?"
"Ah, how am I a bad role model?"
Yamen looked aggrieved, and then muttered:
"Besides, it's normal for a beginner in magic to take half a year to learn. Can't they just take their time? What good will it do to rush into it..."
“Huh?!”
Amen's words struck Hulim's heart like a bolt from the blue.
It takes... ...half a year to get started?
For a moment, Hulim felt dizzy, and her mind unconsciously recalled the scene of Semiris rolling on the ground laughing by the lake.
Got tricked...
Hulim realized that he seemed to have been fooled by Semiris!
The other party definitely knows the difficulty and time required to get started with magic.
Seeing that Hulim's expression seemed a little off, Lezelian glared at Amen fiercely.
"Shut up, kid!"
Then he looked at Hulim and tried to soften his tone.
"Hulim, don't pay attention to what he says. He just likes to talk nonsense! Compared to that, it's just a fireplace. Daddy has been craving barbecue lately. Guess what they sent us today?"
"It's a big piece of Holbevero steak!"
"Really!?"
Yamen asked happily, temporarily forgetting about the bag on his head.
Hulim's attention was temporarily drawn to the topic of food and he stopped worrying about the magic.
... ...
In the courtyard.
Butler Laurents had prepared a wooden table for the picnic.
Hulim and her family sat around the wooden table.
There was a pot of charcoal fire next to the wooden table, and a grill on the charcoal fire with pieces of cut meat on it. Jessica held the tongs in her hand and kept turning the barbecued meat. The barbecued meat, which was browned on the surface, kept oozing oil and dripping onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound and letting the aroma spread throughout the courtyard.
"Sorry for the wait!"
It wasn't long before Jessica had the first batch of barbecue on the table.
Lilia immediately distributed the barbecue to the plates in front of everyone.
"Haha, eat as much as you want~!"
Lezelian said with a smile,
"The ranch in the village is doing very well this year. Today we can have all the steaks you want!"
The Haierlar family currently owns three village fiefdoms. One village grows a large amount of fruit, which can bring in a considerable income every year through winemaking. Another village only grows ordinary grain crops, but it also provides the Haierlar family with a lot of fresh food every year.
The last village is the main source of the Hailar family's property income.
The village has a large pasture where many horbiviros are raised. They are domesticated herbivores and are one of the main sources of meat in people's lives.
By selling Holbivero, the Hailar family could earn a considerable income every year, so even though it was a shabby fiefdom with only three villages, it could still maintain the minimum appearance of a noble.
Originally, our ancestor, Olubet Hailar, who was awarded the hereditary title of honorary knight as a national knight, should have owned a fiefdom no less than that of an earl. But unfortunately, in this world, it is not easy for nobles to protect everything they own.
Compared to Olubet, who was so powerful that he stood at the top of Class A, his descendants did not have such talents. In the three hundred years of history of the Hailar family, only a few people barely possessed Class B strength, which temporarily allowed the Hailar family to recover some blood in certain periods. The others were basically mediocre Class C.
A few decades ago, the Haieral family was in a situation where they could hardly maintain even their last manor. At that time, the head of the Haieral family, Rezelian's grandfather, made a resolute decision to abandon everything that had become a burden and asked the empire for permission to go to the frontier and participate in the development.
As it turned out, that decision once again successfully continued the life of the Hailar family.
The development of the Ment mining area and the establishment of the corresponding pioneering village went smoothly, and the Hailar family was also awarded a village fiefdom here for their contributions to the development.
After that, through the efforts of two generations of Lezelian and his father, the fiefdom was increased to three villages.
Although it was truly unbearable compared to the days of their ancestors, this was the Haieral family's chance to rejuvenate themselves amidst despair. Many nobles and even those who had made great contributions to the founding of the nation had been lost in the long river of history, without even this chance to start over...
