To be honest, Gallo himself didn't expect such a funny scene to happen...
He coughed twice, pointed at the 'sandwich', and explained:
"This is an arrangement that I considered to maximize energy saving and service life. When the enemy is detected to be weak or hostile, the barrier will only operate at 10% efficiency..."
"Considering that most of these enemies are petty thieves, I slightly adjusted the function of the barrier and made this 'mousetrap'"
After briefly introducing the situation here, he pointed to the young mage still lying on the ground in the distance and said:
"As for his situation, I don't know. He is outside the barrier and cannot affect him..."
Just as he was talking, everyone suddenly heard the young mage let out a scream like a slaughtering pig.
"ah!!!!!"
"You fucking don't have eyes?!"
It turned out that a pedestrian was walking in a hurry and accidentally stepped on his finger...
"Ahem, maybe he is looking for something lost?"
Gallo continued and pointed at his head, implying that what the other party had lost was his brain.
"As you all know, the mage always compares that and that and that..."
The young mage searched on the ground for a long time, and his beautiful clothes almost wiped the entire nearby ground clean before he slowly stood up.
He carefully put away the handkerchief with broken glass and looked towards the door.
The assassin had been released by Mrs. Carola, and he was huddled in the corner of the door with lingering fear, trembling, and it seemed that he had suffered quite serious psychological trauma.
The young mage and the warrior were unkempt and dirty, with bloodstains and bruises on the backs of their hands. Those who didn't know better thought they were refugees.
As for the few scholars who witnessed the embarrassment of their companions, they looked at each other and really didn't know what to say.
Didn’t we agree that it was just a simple evaluation?
Haven't you already exposed that kid's scam?
Why are we the ones in such a mess?
Fortunately, the servants in the villa quickly brought hot water and towels, so that the young mage would not be embarrassed forever.
But his chest was still rising and falling rapidly, and he stared at Gallo fiercely, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes.
Although the rationality in his heart told him that his embarrassment had nothing to do with Gallo, and he should not vent his anger on others.
But you have been holding back a lot of anger, so you have to vent it, right?
What's more, the two sides are originally commercial competitors, and they will fight to the death for the right to speak in new fields.
So whether Gallo is willing or not, he has been upgraded to become a thorn in the opponent's side, as if he is an old enemy!
So he walked up to Gallo in a few steps and whispered in his ear:
"You are just an illegitimate child. How dare you make me so embarrassed and disgraced?! I swear to kill you and the family behind you!"
"I want you, your parents, and everyone close to you to kneel in front of me and watch me play with your little maid..."
"Then, your woman will become my plaything, and you and your family will be sold to the mines, and eventually die under the whip of the foreman!"
"I want you to understand the consequences of offending our Enlai family!"
He was so angry that he couldn't wait to issue a vicious declaration of war to Gallo!
Of course, he would not really kill everyone like this. He said these cruel words, mainly because he wanted to anger Gallo and force him to throw gloves on his face, issue an invitation to a duel, or directly use violence.
In this way, he would have every reason to teach Gallo a lesson first, and then let the huge family behind him take action to crush this damn illegitimate son to death!
Judging from the illegitimate sons of nobles he has come into contact with on a daily basis, they appear to be irritable and stern on the surface, but in fact they are weak and incompetent and can be bullied. They will definitely not be able to stand such stimulation and fall into their own trap.
And the family behind them will not go to war over an illegitimate child, so although what he said may sound unpleasant, it will not actually cause any big trouble.
What's more, there are really not many families and forces in this empire that can cause them trouble.
So even though he appears to be so impulsive, it is actually a subtle trap targeting Gallo.
After all, he is a member of the Enlais family. Even if he wants to teach others a lesson, he will not disdain those simple and crude methods.
But the other party's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Gallo first looked up at the sky, then took a deep breath, then touched the necklace on his chest, and muttered a few words in a low voice, as if he was reciting some kind of doctrine?
Then he raised his head, showed a kind smile, and replied:
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
The young mage couldn't help but be stunned. What kind of weird reaction was this? After hearing such harsh words, the other party became more polite to him.
I feel a little embarrassed...
"Are you scared out of your wits?"
The young mage couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, yes, you say yes."
Gallo nodded repeatedly, with the gentle smile still on his face, looking submissive.
But the young mage felt vaguely that there was a lack of duel. He always felt that the other party's smile and eyes were a bit strange...
That look was like looking at a dead person...
But when he took a closer look, he felt that it was an illusion. The other party already had a submissive look, which was in line with the temperament that an illegitimate child should have.
It seems that they were frightened by our family's name...
I didn't expect that just a name could frighten him into being like this. He is such a spineless guy. No wonder he can only be regarded as an illegitimate child.
Seeing that Gallo had given in, the young mage felt much relieved. Then he recalled that the evaluation was not over yet and his employer was still waiting for his reply.
So he quickly smoothed his messy clothes and said loudly:
"I'm sorry everyone, due to some unexpected circumstances, the evaluation has been suspended for a while, let us continue now..."
As he was speaking, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve. When he turned around, he saw that it was a scholar under his command.
The man whispered something into his ear.
The young mage's expression suddenly changed quite wonderfully, first he was confused, then shocked, then puzzled, and finally confused.
"How is this possible? Are you serious?"
He asked in a low voice.
The scholar had only told him three pieces of information before.
The first is that the opponent's barrier is genuine. They only realized this after activating it just once.
The second is that the level of this enchantment is beyond their understanding. There are many places that they cannot understand at all, and they cannot even understand the most basic operating principles...
This means that the attainments of the barrier decorator are higher than their combined!
Thirdly, if the design of this set of enchantments is made public, it will trigger an earthquake in the academic world. Many inherent enchantment systems will be severely impacted, even fragmented, and swept into the garbage heap of history.
Finally, the scholar said very seriously:
"To sum up, we are not qualified to evaluate this barrier at all. We are like a newbie in front of it."
"We can remain silent, but we will not lie. This violates the bottom line of a scholar."
A bit of helplessness and unwillingness flashed across the young mage's face. He forced himself to calm down and asked in a low voice:
"So far, do you have any specific suggestions?"
The scholar thought for a while and replied:
"We suggest, young master, that you'd better terminate the evaluation and stop humiliating yourself..."
"Or, simply admit that this set of enchantments is exquisite and extraordinary, and even brag about it and use various means to help the other party build momentum."
"This can not only repair the somewhat unpleasant relationship just now, but also improve the reputation of our evaluation team and retain the possibility of future cooperation. It is the best of both worlds."
The young mage was stunned for a moment, and his face became extremely embarrassed.
He knew that this suggestion was right and that this method was indeed perfect.
However, it's too late...
The harsh words he uttered out of anger had blocked the possibility of a win-win situation for both parties.
All we can do is find a way to remedy it!
He quickly came up with a perfect remedy in his mind.
The person he offended was just an illegitimate child, and this enchantment could not be his handiwork, it could only be the arrangement of the family behind him.
In this case, arrange an accident to make this guy who has caused dissatisfaction between both parties disappear, then go back and ask Mrs. Carolla about the family behind him, and take the initiative to extend an olive branch...
Isn’t the problem perfectly solved?
After the young mage thought clearly about his joints, he immediately returned to his usual state and began to talk nonstop again:
"Just now, I exchanged opinions with several masters..."
"They admitted that they had made a small mistake before. This enchantment is not only not a scam, but a set of exquisite designs! It can be called a work of art in the enchantment!"
"Please allow me to pay my highest respect to its designer with great reverence. You are not only an outstanding master of enchantment, but also an elegant artist and esthetician..."
"It is an honor for me and our team to evaluate this set of enchantments..."
He searched out all the words in his stomach, and like a licking dog who had given up his dignity, he boasted wildly and tried his best to get it right.
He believes that the better he brags, the happier the other party will be when they know about it and the more they will recognize his evaluation team.
At the same time, there is also a bit of guilt after uttering harsh words.
Even Mrs. Carola felt a little disgusted. She had met many young people who didn't want to work hard, but none of them could boast like this guy...
The group of people from the Supreme True God Cult who were hiding on the first floor watching the excitement were so disgusted by him that they could no longer laugh.
Only Gallo himself said nothing and stood silently, lowering his head and playing with his fingers, not listening to what the other party said at all.
Why listen to dead people's nonsense?
Amiya was the same, standing behind Gallo with an expressionless face, probably seeing him playing with her fingers a little bored, so she took the initiative to put her little hand into his for him to enjoy.
It wasn't until those scholars couldn't stand listening any more and came up to dissuade the young mage that the young mage stopped.
Finally, the evaluation ended successfully. Gallo's barrier received the highest praise, and I believe it will make the headlines in tomorrow's newspapers.
Even the title is designed:
"Karl the Prayer's attainments in enchantment science are excellent, but he can only rank second in the entire academic world..."
The young mage declined the invitation to have lunch and left in a hurry. He had to find someone to repair the telescope and arrange a perfect accident for Gallo...
He knows a friend who is very good at this...
At the lunch table, Mrs. Carola explained to Gallo with an embarrassed look:
"I'm really sorry. He is the child of an important client of mine. I really didn't expect him to be such a person before..."
"It's not that I don't believe in your standards, it's just that the customer paid a high price to buy my goods. It's reasonable to give that young man a chance."
"It's okay, it's okay. You don't need to apologize. All mages are like this, and I won't argue with him."
Gallo waved his hand nonchalantly and said magnanimously.
"This is best. You are indeed the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. You are broad-minded and generous."
"But, is it that my chef is not to your liking?"
Mrs. Carola looked at the barely touched dinner plate in front of Gallo and asked doubtfully.
"No...actually, he's just too much for my liking."
Gallo said dumbfounded that he had eaten too many pastries and fruits before...
Mrs. Carola also smiled, and then told the maid to ask the kitchen to prepare more snacks that Gallo liked, and let him pack them when the time comes.
Just as he was talking, Gallo's exclamation suddenly came from next to him:
"Amiya? You...what do you want to do again?!"
"Don't come over! I really can't eat anymore!"
He held the fork and gestured fiercely at Amiya twice, not allowing her to come over to feed him.
Amiya suddenly became very active, which gave Gallo a very headache...
In comparison, that mage is just a trivial nuisance.
After lunch, Gallo took the check from Mrs. Carola and returned to the sect in a donkey cart.
He received a reward of 20,000 gold from Mrs. Carolla one after another, which was double the 10,000 he had agreed to before...
In addition to the ten thousand gold promised at the beginning, there is also the remaining budget for purchasing materials, the reward for helping solve the kidnapping incident last time, plus the bonus for passing the final assessment.
There is also somewhat of Mrs. Carola's guilt and apology, as well as the guarantee of future friendship.
I can only say that knowing a rich woman will save you years of hard work...
Gallo, whose pockets were bulging, was also a little distracted. He thought of the luxury goods auction the day after tomorrow.
He remembered that there would be a lot of beautiful women's jewelry for sale there.
Why not go there and buy a new bracelet for Daidai, as I promised her before...
However, the invitation to the auction has two places, who will bring the other one?
Gallo was thinking about this very scumbag question and seemed to have completely ignored the two sneaky figures that had been following his donkey cart.
