“I have daughters. They are one year old, and they get along well. Wood, were you ten years old?”

I have a daughter. Wood was a little surprised at that.

He looked quite young, but he already had two children.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The daughters are the first twelve and the second eleven. Yes, your sisters. And the children are going to go to an educational institution in three years.”

Wood did not understand the relationship between this word and the word he would adopt.

“The name of the educational institution is Academy. You probably know enough.”

Academy.

It is a world-recognized educational institution and a magical school that is known as the best.

The highest educational institution that not only trains wizards, but also educates civil servants and military officers, as well as medical and special magic technicians.

It is a leading university in Eugracia that accepts incoming students through the entrance examination, recommendation and invitation system, and recruits talented people from various fields.

“Besides our Phoenix, several families are going to send their children. Some have already sent it. In the same way, the children of the ten nobles will come. So, I’m a little nervous.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“The academy is too eventful to have two daughters. Due to the nature of the academy, many children from influential families are admitted. So, of course, it becomes a ‘small political board’.”

I thought it was only natural that there were a lot of guys with Wood too.

Because those who do are, of course, involved in such complicated things.

“In short, to think, every possible threat is coming. And in principle, the academy should never attach a seed or escort to its students. The academy is all dormitory system. Everything that happens there is to be dealt with at their own discretion. There are staff to help, but… at least after three years, no one will be able to help.”

Gareth was blindfolded.

The man’s golden eyes filled with heat turned towards Wood.

“I can’t bring a seed, and I can’t bring an escort. Then, the only thing that can protect our daughters there is ‘a reliable brother who enters with them and has strong talents’.”

In other words, it means that Wood will be used as a ‘shield’ in the name of the brother.

“So, we are going to educate you as a nobleman for three years before entering the academy. It’s the process of making a lie real.”

Wood thought it was a plan with many gaps.

Gareth immediately said, “Anyway, all complicated procedures and rumors can be resolved within my line.”

“But, even if we say that we make you a nobleman like this… Whether you will accept it is another story. So first of all, I think we should make the first savings for each other’s trust, Wood.”

Gareth’s eyes lit up with calculations.

“The first savings of trust are contracts.”

“contract……?”

“It is not a person-to-person contract, not a purchased slave and a sold slave. deal. It is a trust activity and economic activity that makes this world even more important than religion.”

Gareth took a new piece of paper from his work desk.

Alberto takes it and places it on the table in front of Wood. Wood read it quickly.

“The handwriting is… huh, you can read it.”

Alberto, who had tried to read the text for him until recently, was frankly surprised by Wood.

Most of the slaves are illiterate.

Not just slaves.

The illiteracy rate in this country is not high, but it is not low either. He’s a ten-year-old boy. He must have taken it for granted that he did not know.

Wood slowly read the writing on the paper.

Its content is-

“I think it’s a reasonable offer.”

To Wood looking back at himself, Gareth gives a light smile.

To put it simply, it was as follows.

First, Wood and Gareth’s two daughters will perform his duties as a shield until graduating from the academy.

Second, while Wood lives in this mansion, he promises to guarantee an aristocratic child-class education (this was the same as the previous story), and to give Wood the treatment and support worthy of his own child.

Third, living in a mansion for 3 years. And then the life of the academy. In the meantime, as a salary, he said that he would be able to raise the necessary funds for independence.

Fourth, when everything is over, all of Wood’s slavery at that time will be set aside. In that case, while eliminating slavery, Phoenix promises to provide numerous support.

Finally, the fifth…

If you accept all of these conditions, you will say, ‘I will help you investigate the case of the Galea Orphanage.’

‘The Incident of the Galea Orphanage’.

Seeing the name of the orphanage that was the same as his own, Wood held his breath for a moment.

“I mean, it motivates you, the contract.”

Gareth stood up. Then, quietly, a red feather pen was placed in front of Wood.

“Academy is a basic five-year program. That is, 3 years from now, 5 years at the academy – at least 8 years if you join our family and perform our duties, I will use all my power to make your slavery free and give you full support to lead a new life. I will.”

“……Even if there’s no such trouble, won’t it be all right if you give me an order?”

“Ahahaha, I thought that if I talked about ‘orphanage’, I would get a pen right away.”

“However-”

“As I said before, I want to take you into my family. As a new member of Phoenix. And as a reliable brother who will protect my daughters.”

Gareth looked directly into Wood’s eyes.

“I don’t want a shield with a simple command system. A child who has seen “many things” like you is probably not very swayed by the commands of a master-slave relationship. Above all, you have the power to do so. And I appreciate its power.”

Gareth’s golden eyes seemed to dig into Wood’s eyes.

“I mean, I want to build trust with you to the end and become our real family. This contract is the beginning, and it specifies the reward for trust.”

Wood read the contract several times, but there were no pitfalls in it.

Even if he doesn’t sign in the first place, Gareth will use Wood by all means.

“The first savings, will you accept it?”

“……”

After a lot of contemplation in a short period of time, Wood picked up a pen.

The pen with red feathers was really light.

I engraved the letters on the contract with the handwriting I learned one day.

‘Udeu Galea’.

I write a name that can no longer be used in my hometown.

With this, a contract between Gareth and Wood was established.

“- Good. This made the first savings between the two of us, and between stepfather and stepson. Then I’ll go straight to the next step, Wood- no, ‘Eud Hollight Phonics’.”

“Eud?”

“This is the name you will use as a member of Phoenix in the future. ‘Galea’ is going to be hard to keep using.”

Gareth’s words made sense. Maybe it’s because you know the meaning of the name.

As Gareth explains, except for the Phoenix family, only seven people know that Wood is from Dreamland.

Alberto and Joan.

And it’s a hunter team called ‘Dian Team’ that I saw from the carriage earlier.

Four members of the family and seven servants. In other words, in the mansion, a total of eleven people knew.

The maids who washed Wood before say that they do not know that he is from Dreamland. He knew about a distant relative with a story.

So, did he do his best? It must be because there is a direct order from Gareth.

“Dian’s team showed a bit of an exaggeration earlier, but that’s because of their mission. In fact, they are very trustworthy. That’s why I chose this escort.”

Contrary to Wood’s first impressions, they seemed to be quite trusted.

What surprised Wood more than that was that there were many more Hunter teams besides Dian’s.

Hunters play a very important role in this world.

They are literally ‘nationally recognized monster hunters’.

They are combatants who hunt directly for the material that comes out when hunting monsters.

Several countries, including Eugracia, are gaining considerable industry from the material of monsters.

In particular, it is the hunters’ main focus to attack the ‘dungeon’ that occurs every moment.

If the dungeon is not attacked within a certain amount of time, it will lead to ‘collapse’, and numerous monsters will pour out. In the modern country, the rapid discovery and capture of dungeons was very important.

Because of such a big role, Hunters are talented people who give a lot of guarantees even in the state.

Most of the hunters belong to the guild, but some talented people worked in this ‘family’. In fact, such hunters should be called private soldiers of influential families.

It is said that this Phoenix makes it a family business to use such ‘hunter teams’.

Currently, there are eight hunter teams belonging to the mansion, including Dian’s team.

All six of them were away on an expedition for hunter activities.

Except for Tim Diane, the other team is said to be escorting Gareth’s wife and daughters who went to a social church.

This phoenix mansion, as Wood saw it, serves as a residential complex.

“Then it’s a little early… but let’s go to the second stage of saving trust.”

Gareth returned to his seat and looked sharply at Wood.

Wood also receives the unfathomable gaze from the front.

The first savings are the conclusion of a bilateral agreement.

It was a sign of trust that Gareth showed toward Wood.

The second saving, then, is probably the sign of trust Wood should show.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Also, it must be appropriate or not formidable.

In order to be able to deal with it soberly, Wood is as tense as before a fight.

Suddenly, Gareth’s mouth opened.

“From today on, you can call me Dad.”

“……..Yeah?”

“No, call me. Eud!”

More than I could have imagined flew.

Behind Gareth, Alberto grabs his head and lets out a sigh.

Alberto hastily calms Gareth down.

“Father, no matter what, you call a child you haven’t seen for a while as father. Aren’t you in a hurry?”

“Didn’t you just stipulate that you decided to treat me like your own child! ….they wanted a son! With only two daughters, the situation was so difficult!”

Due to the sudden grieving and chaos of the father, Wood avoided his eyes as much as possible.

This man, the atmosphere has changed considerably.

“Take your time slowly. Savings don’t happen overnight, didn’t you?”

“I saw you a year ago!!”

“Look, you haven’t changed your mind.”

Alberto recalls the conversation he had just before purchasing the wood.

Of course, Gareth doesn’t care.

From then on, Gareth stopped speaking formally to Wood.

“Come on, call me Daddy!!”

Wood couldn’t even open his mouth because of the unexpected tantrums.

“Mr Gareth. The hostess and the ladies are back.”

That was when Gareth had barely calmed down. Joan entered the drawing room.
