The Most Arbitrary Wizard

Chapter 287 149: "Helpers from the Family

"Second, whatever your previous surnames were, no matter how important, forget them for now."

"From now on, you are people brought in by the Florist Family."

The old crone said, "This identity will be yours for a while. Exactly how long depends on when you get to meet your true Master."

Eleanor: "Huh?"

Florist…

"Isn't that the Viscount Family that governs Selona City?"

Selona City is very close to the Kovri Ruins, so Eleanor knew the Florist Family's name.

"You don't need to worry about any of that."

The old crone shook her head. "This whole affair is complicated. I can't explain it all in a few words. Just remember what I've told you."

"According to news from the Farm World, the Florist Family has been making some major moves. A Wizard publicly killed one of their important members, and now they're out for revenge. The family branch over here was furious when they heard, so they're sending you two as reinforcements to help. Understand?"

"I… understand…" Eleanor said. This meant they were being sent to infiltrate the enemy, but there was one problem—

"Can we even beat that Wizard?"

'Anyone who can kill a core member of the Florist Family must be incredibly powerful.' She and Elise had only just become Grand Mages and hadn't even had time to adapt to the new Power within their bodies. There was no guarantee they could defeat such a person.

'And even if we could win, should we help them?'

'After all, we're just "borrowing" the Florist Family's identity, not actually part of it. If we help the Florist Family, wouldn't we be helping the wicked?'

"Whether you can beat him or not…" The old crone chuckled. "You don't need to worry about that at all."

"There are no Grand Mages in the Farm World."

"Once you go, you will be the only two. No one will be your match."

Just then, the spell silencing Elise happened to expire. The girl blurted out excitedly, "Does that mean my sister and I can do whatever we want in the Farm World?"

The old crone: "?"

"Have you not learned your lesson yet?"

"Do you need me to teach you again?"

Elise immediately clamped her hands over her mouth, signaling that the senior's "help" would not be necessary.

The old crone snorted. "You can do as you please with outsiders. Her Highness the Saintess gave no instructions on the matter, so whatever isn't forbidden is allowed. However, when it comes to your Master, you must maintain your etiquette at all times. You must do whatever he asks of you, even if it means warming his bed together."

'Warming his bed…?'

'…together??'

Eleanor's cheeks flushed red the moment she heard this.

'This is absurd! How could Sean… no, Mr. Blake… possibly make such an outrageous demand?'

Elise, on the other hand, seemed thrilled. She nodded eagerly. "Don't you worry, senior! We will take your lesson to heart!"

Eleanor seethed inwardly.

'Does my sister have a screw loose? How does she become so obedient and docile the moment Sean is mentioned? Elise was never this well-behaved at home.'

The old crone ignored Elise and continued, "As for whether to help the Florist Family get revenge, you can decide that for yourselves."

This exchange revealed that the old crone's own knowledge of the situation was rather limited.

Diana had not told her that Sean was the Master the Eleanor Sisters were looking for, nor had she told her that Sean was Mr. Blake.

She had deliberately broken the plan into several stages, with the people at each stage only knowing what they needed to know to do their part. That way, if any link in the chain broke, she would know immediately.

"Alright, there's nothing else."

"As for proper Maid attire, buy some for yourselves after you get there. Remember to pick good quality ones. You'll look more elegant, and it will help you win your Master's favor more easily."

The old crone extinguished the flame under the cauldron and said, "Put on your shoes and come with me."

After leaving the tent, the Eleanor Sisters discovered that this place seemed to be a military camp.

There were many tents and patrolling guards, bustling like a market.

It was only because the tent was set up with a sound-proofing Array that they hadn't heard the conversations of the Wizards outside.

Many of these people wore clothing of different styles, with different embroidery or badges on their chests, from various noble families.

To them, the Farm World was not only a place of exile but also a good place to earn merit, so many had come voluntarily. Their Magic Power was mostly below Tier Six, and for this reason, everyone was exceptionally respectful to the old crone, who was one of the people in charge of the Farm World's transfer station.

After all, this old woman was a Grand Mage who could kill them with a single slap.

"Ma'am, you finally hired maids?"

A Wizard greeted the old crone with a smile. "I was just saying, you should have hired two people to serve you a long time ago. It must be so inconvenient to always do everything yourself."

The old crone was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

'Maids?'

'What maids?'

Then she turned to look.

She saw the sisters following behind her with impeccable posture, their spines ramrod straight. Normally, such a straight back would project a powerful aura, but the two had their heads slightly bowed and their hands clasped demurely in front of them. It was a picture of composed humility—the very image of professional Maids.

The old crone was momentarily speechless.

'These two little girls…'

'…they really get into character quickly.'

For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on her weathered cheeks.

'Very good. They're teachable.'

...

「Meanwhile.」

「Farm World.」

The members of the Florist Family sailing across the sea finally received a reply from their main family branch.

The Wizards who came here to work for the Church Court mostly had one-way communication with their families. Ever since they had asked the Church Court for help sending Zajik's body back, they had received no reply. Today, there was finally news.
