Anne-Marie brought a cup of hot tea and handed it to her teacher. She had always stayed in the college and did not follow her teacher around social gatherings. She preferred to stay in the school rather than chat with a group of people insincerely.
In such an environment, as long as she is not forced to train with those children.
"An, it seems you are right."
The girl looked at her teacher in confusion. What she saw and said was never wrong. But, what was the teacher referring to this time?
"I once said that he was a terrible man. I didn't think so at first, but what happened today proved that he was right. He is indeed a terrible man."
Juan Javier hates magicians who are familiar with people's hearts more than magicians with strong magic abilities. The former can know the limits of his abilities from various rumors and temptations, so it is not a problem to cooperate or deal with them.
.However, for the latter, it is difficult to guess whether his behavior has any deeper meaning. Whether as a colleague or an enemy, it is also difficult to cooperate or cope with him.
But what he didn't expect was that Lin was not a thoroughgoing person. It was just the experience of the earth, whether it was personal experience or film and television works, all telling him that such and such things would happen. Now that he knew the situation, he could think of some solutions.
It's natural. Being from a non-professional education system, he can only choose a less bad result from several options.
Fortunately, the children who come here have a blank slate in their understanding of magic. Maybe they have had unrealistic fantasies, but they will still fulfill the requirements of the teachers in the academy meticulously.
The most important thing is that they cannot understand the meaning of good or bad talent. Anyway, people who also learn magic and shine with orange light are now fucked like dogs; people with yellow lights are also fucked like dogs; even
The rare genius in Juan's mind, Charlotte, who was shining with blue light, suffered the same fate as the eight-year-old girl... It seemed that she could shine no matter how bright she was.
In addition to teaching magic miscellaneous knowledge, Juan Javier also began to pay attention to the children's behavior. Through Annemarie's interaction with the children, he could spy on their inner thoughts. Because of the progress of these children in learning magic,
Faster than he imagined.
Almost all the children have mastered the first-level magic, except for a few newcomers who have just joined. Some people have learned the second-level magic, but more people have begun to figure out the various skills and tricks of the first-level magic.
It's only been a few months...
However, the progress of the children is not unlimited. At least the accumulation of mana and power depends on time and perseverance. Therefore, in addition to the opportunity to enter the meditation room every day, they will seize every free time to coordinate themselves
spirit, touching the omnipresent power.
Time passes continuously around the children's learning.
One day during the break at three o'clock in the afternoon, this was the fixed coffee time for three magicians who were faculty members of the college. Under Annemarie's skillful hands, the coffee exuded a charming aroma, stimulating the sense of smell of everyone present. Attendance
In addition to Lin, Juan Javier, and Eli Huber, there are also Fen, who rarely appears, as well as several minor nobles from the Kingdom of Frank, and a blacksmith who is also a magician whom they have not seen for a while.
Master Smith.
A young man, but already an official magician, was serving and brewing coffee. The elders of several minor nobles were frightened. But the young people in their family showed a different look.
Desire to get close to this young and beautiful female magician.
However, in the evaluation of the three students by the two people in charge of drinking, Anmari's craftsmanship needs to be improved, while Kaya and Halumi have their own characteristics. Fen never criticizes, and Fatty Eli just
Just for the glory.
The presence of several nobles was also for the business in front of them.
Lin has had the idea of starting a coffee business a long time ago. Perhaps if there was no such thing as college, he would concentrate on the coffee business. But now, he has no extra energy in this area.
In the few months after the establishment of the college, the use of coffee as a means of public relations also brought this refreshing drink into the eyes of some people. There are also many people who are interested in running it as a business.
But just like the earth, most capitalists look down on technicians. Those gentlemen are already showing great mercy if they are willing to give out a sum of money that even beggars despise. How dare the idiots who only know technology dare to ask for it, and how can they not ask for too much?
Unreasonable demands.
Therefore, coffee-related skills have been in Lin's hands until today. On the one hand, because of the promotion during this period, a small number of believers have been cultivated, and these people are still very influential.
On the other hand, it is also because I have been busy recently and have no time to deal with coffee matters. Therefore, Lin recruited suitable initial partners during this period of observation.
The more important factor is that the small mountain village full of coffee beans was discovered. Because there was no idea of keeping it secret from the beginning, people who were interested in searching for the details of the movements after returning to Wulian City from Gablesh Tripwood soon found out
Then I found the existence of that mountain village.
In addition, the various facilities for processing green beans were not abandoned. Lin originally considered their future availability, so they were still very solid at the time. And those facilities that do not belong to ordinary mountain villages will certainly attract the attention of interested people. A few Danba
(copper coins) opened the way, and after asking again, everything was exposed.
Seize raw materials from the source to force people to compromise? Maybe the benefits are not big enough to drive people to act like this, or maybe the mountain forest with coffee trees is too big and too vast to completely control. But even if
Even so, someone still spread rumors, implying that the mountain forest has fallen into the hands of a certain force. Although many forces claimed so, all these made Lin understand one thing. If he didn't take action, maybe things would get completely out of control and move towards him.
Development in unpredictable directions.
Regardless of the fact that none of the nobles who were found are locals, these small nobles are flexible in their methods and the forces united behind them are enough to compete with those who claim to be big nobles in this city of magicians.
And the most important thing is that because their status is not very high, they are willing to put down their dignity and negotiate with the masters on an equal footing. Even if Lin does not fight for it, he still insists on being comfortable when doing things. Under the premise of having a choice, there is no need to find a meeting
Let people who are unhappy with you cooperate, right?
I would choose to discuss things in the academy because the place is grand enough and I can attract some magicians to come out to calm things down. More importantly, this is Fen’s opinion. The homes in the community are for relaxation, so you don’t need to worry about anything.
You should go there and disturb her.
During this period of time at the gathering of nobles, the lich's skillful dancing almost made people forget her past identity. What they saw and heard did not look like a powerful demon king who ruled over the dark age at all. However, to be able to see Fen at home,
For those who behave outside, they understand very well why she is so demanding to protect the tranquility of her home in the community.
They are just two people! You bunch of obsessed fools, do you know what she looks like at home?
Someone once wanted to break the news. Of course, it was not malicious, but he just wanted to expose the true face of the former Demon King as a joke. But that time, he actually received a death threat. Lin Guang felt chills down his spine, trembling and leaking urine just thinking about it. The ending.
Of course, he swore a poisonous oath and said that he would never dare to do this again, so the matter came to an end for the time being.
However, in the current business discussion, Fen only acted as a facilitator, and the main negotiator was still a miserable guy. In the eyes of others, Lin had simply become a servant of a certain lich.
Although this has no direct relationship with Juan Javier and Eli Huber, they are equally interested in all kinds of coffee. If you can get a part in such a business, why not do it, after all, there is no
People think money is too much. Coffee is a good thing. If you really can’t sell it, it’s not a waste if you use it for yourself.
Everyone present was waiting in the chat, waiting for someone to start talking about serious matters. This was not a business negotiation ploy, but it was because whenever anyone talked to Lin about this matter before, they would always be treated rudely.
Respond to words such as "I don't want to talk about it now". Maybe sometimes it's a little more tactful, but the common point is that as long as someone doesn't want to talk, it's useless no matter how hard you pester them, so you can only wait.
In fact, until now, Lin is still thinking about how to run coffee. Although he has watched a lot of film and television works about the ups and downs of business in the earth period, or various cases in business magazines, this does not mean that
You can become the big boss by yourself. And the most important thing is that you don’t have much time to deal with this aspect of things.
Finally, during this period of time, the plan that took shape in his mind was put forward, although it had many shortcomings. Lin took out a thin metal piece the size of a business card, and embedded a red magic stone in the center.
The fragments are the leftover scraps from the processing of magic stones. The metal pieces are made of pig iron electroplated with a special layer of silver, and are covered with magic arrays and spells.
This is a by-product of previous research on how to arrange magic circles in homes in the community, which is a mixture of ordinary materials and magic materials. The silver used for electroplating is a magic material, but the coated pig iron is not. Pair the magic circle with
The power in the magic stone fragments can produce magical effects.
This business card-like magic prop is a new product developed by Fen - a digital book. In front of everyone, Lin demonstrated how to use it. First, open the water mirror of the forum browser, and then move the card to the water mirror.
With one swipe, the text content saved in the magic stone fragment will replace the forum screen and appear on the water mirror screen.
He pushed the cards in front of several speakers, and of course the two magicians Juan Javier and Eli Huber were not left out. At the same time, he took out several books with the same content and placed them on the table.
