Earl Steer put one hand on the handle of the single sofa to support his cheek, and said with interest: "This is not bad!
Joshua, take your Grace to spend more time with Linde, our youngest son likes innocent girls!"
Linde turned to look at his father and showed a particularly innocent smile: "No, father, I only like to play with people of the same age.
I can't bear it if it's too young, unless she doesn't like to cry when anything happens~"
Joshua gently took away the orange from Linde's hand, and received a cute surprised expression like a wide-eyed deer.
He shook his head helplessly and laughed.
Helena spoke slowly: "My dear Linde, I have indeed been lonely for too long. It seems that I really need some companions!
Otherwise, if you are too accustomed to spending time alone, no matter how innocent a child is, he will appear less cute. Don’t you think so, dear Mr. Earl?
I'm not afraid of anything else, but... what if the Earth Sage, even if he likes the benefits you offer, might not even be willing to lend him a name if he doesn't like Linde.
After all, this is a master who has great self-control, and his requirements for self-cultivation obviously outweigh his desire for material things!
No wonder, although the reputation of the Belfran family is not obvious in our mortal world, the gods know it very well!
The gods of Oaises have always only liked strong men with strong will."
Linde looked at his mother with wide eyes: "Aren't my qualifications very bad?
How could he be willing to accept an ordinary student like me... even in name only?
Mom, haven’t you always said that becoming a magic swordsman is my best way out?”
"Yes...your qualifications are indeed not that good." Helena tilted her head and laughed, "Magic Swordsman only requires you to work hard...sometimes, it's just physical fatigue, but it doesn't count.
What a hard work!
If you have to learn something that is higher than your normal ability, then... you will need not only a strong will and a hardworking spirit, but also not to do what you have worked so hard to do just because you see others doing it easily.
An open mind for things that cannot be accomplished.
For example, your sister can learn the same spell in about half a day, but it takes you ten days and a half...maybe even longer. Don't you...want to give up?
As long as you give up, you don't have to work so hard... The Stel family also has enough capital to let you live without worries and become a happy magic swordsman.
Do you think you can persevere? Linde.
This time, if we can really succeed in persuading the other party, then your father and I will hand over the last bit of the Ster family's secrets... Absolutely, there will be no second chance.
This is something that even your brothers and sisters don’t know about!”
The summer sunshine shone into the box through the fan-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows behind them. Lind's black eyes, which were exactly the same as his father's, seemed to reflect golden light: "I've always been very good, haven't I?"
Joshua peeled the orange in his hand and handed it to him: "Good boy, eat the fruit!
I will take Grace to the castle tomorrow and play with her~
Your Uncle Joshua is very busy and has no time to take care of the children."
Just as Lin De was about to say something, his mouth was filled with a piece of green orange, which made tears well up from the corners of his eyes.
"Bang!" A loud noise suddenly came from Delgado's open box. Janos, who was wearing a gray-blue mage robe and had golden brown slightly curly but very regular short hair, went to
A black leather bag was photographed in front of the table.
There should be some relatively heavy gold nuggets inside, so the impact made a loud noise that instantly silenced the hall.
"My... apprenticeship documents." Yanos suppressed his emotions and spoke slowly, "As for... the letter of introduction to the Alchemy Association in Steen City, there is no need for the teacher to bother."
"Oh~~" Earl Steer sighed in surprise... A rare mixture of emotions appeared on his face that showed no expression even when facing his youngest son... sigh, contempt, and even a little admiration.
.
"Is Stein City very bad?" Helena asked a little puzzled.
"Ah... whether it's good or not depends on what you plan to do there.
Stein is the only place in Damborough where the Finch family has not reached out." Joshua's expression was also complicated, "Our army sometimes goes there to trade things that are not suitable for public appearances."
"You mean, that legendary black city in the desert?" Helena raised her head in astonishment, "Isn't that considered Danboro's territory?
The third-nothing zone...the vice-president of the Danboro Alchemy Association is still a guy with no real power, what’s the use of his letter of recommendation?”
"It's completely useless!" Joshua said categorically, "There is no need for any letters of recommendation, even an alchemy apprentice will be very welcome to Steen.
It’s just that once you go there, you can never leave again... Who would give away the money tree?"
"Delgado, how much do you hate yourself as the chief apprentice?" Helena, who had always been calm, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"He actually attaches great importance to Janos." Count Ster, who had been sitting there and thinking rapidly, understood Delgado's thoughts a little bit, "but Janos's decision to advance to the intermediate mage offended him.
Since you have to leave him, the longer you stay with him, the higher the threat will be!
However, he can't kill his chief apprentice, right?
That reputation of his... Hey!
There were very few aristocratic children who were willing to study with him. Those who dared to pay for his teaching were either families like ours or wealthy businessmen who were trying to change their families.
Haha~ If he really can only receive apprentices from merchant families, then the little power he has left in the Alchemy Association will disappear, and his own alchemy inheritance may be spread throughout the world.
Already.
We all know... It is difficult for a businessman to become big even in a small town if there is no one behind him.
However, Janos has been following him for so many years, and even if he keeps it, Janos will still learn something.
If it is the alchemy branch under the control of the Finch family, then...unless Janos has his own exclusive laboratory, something will definitely be exposed to the president.
So, I thought from the beginning that Delgado would not find a good place for Janos... But I didn't expect that he didn't want to help at all!
It’s not like he doesn’t have some friends with whom he can exchange interests. There are so many branches of the Alchemy Association, and not all of them are controlled by the Finch family... But those places are like carrots and pitfalls. He must show some favors from the past in order to bring Ya
North sent it in.
In Stein City, if he sent Janos there, it would be the people there who owed him a favor.
How did he do it so shamelessly? Or did he accept money from Janos in full view of everyone!
Joshua, how much gold is in that bag?"
"A gold nugget worth one hundred thousand gold." Joshua was also a little dazed. "I tied that bag myself, and I never untied it."
"So, he is very confident. As long as he gets this mithril, it doesn't matter how bad his reputation is?" Linde tilted his head and asked, "Father, did you make a mistake in your calculations?"
Therefore, Delgado neither cares about whether anyone is willing to follow him in the future, nor does he care about offending military nobles like the Ster family.
After being reminded, Helena's eyes quickly ignited with anger: "Ha~ What a capable Count Steer!
Just a little bit worse! My Ellie will be tricked by you!"
Count Stehr could only press his lips to bear the gravity on his waist... Helena was really mad this time, and she actually used magic to increase her power!
He couldn't help but look at Linde who had turned back to eat oranges, his obsidian eyes were dark and deep.
Even people who don't know where Steen City is, after seeing the surprised expressions of the people around them and hearing the sound of breathing in the room, they all know that this must be a big melon, so they naturally want to ask for more information.
Therefore, almost the entire auction hall was whispering to each other openly... rushing from one sofa group to another.
The auction hall was instantly filled with excitement. This time, it even covered up the shouts from the loudspeaker.
After repeatedly asking everyone to stay calm, the auctioneer had no choice but to suspend the auction.
Then he couldn't help but pick up the auction gavel and looked at Delgado's box with curiosity... Even though he had been in the business field for decades, this was the first time he saw such an unscrupulous mage.
Woolen cloth!
Even though those magistrate nobles were suffocating the military nobles such as the Ster family, but on the surface, they were all polite and everything was okay.
For example, the Finch branch president in Brasilia City, who was threatening the mage who became Miss Ellie's teacher yesterday, can today hold a basic spell book and smile and give it to Miss Ellie as a birthday gift.
.
Of course, that book must already be owned by the Stehr family.
Delgado glanced at the audience arrogantly, sneered and pulled out a document from the ring: "My student, you see, on the day you became a level 5 mage, I had already prepared this document for you.
.
However, it is a pity that we did not get along happily in the last period of time, so I did not take it out at that time.
I always think that our friendship over so many years will eventually have a perfect outcome.
well!
I know that you look down on the position of vice-president of the Steen City Alchemy Branch. However, since I have no status in the Alchemy Association, only in this place can I find you a management position that is suitable for you!
In other places, I can't even let you be a clerk.
Alas, there is no way, maybe in the future even the sweepers in the Alchemy Association will be named Finch!"
