The thing that Lolo was most worried about still happened. The archer senior left dejectedly. He even forgot to buy bread. The rest of the boys also looked depressed. Only the two senior sisters looked excited as if they had caught some great news. The group of them bought two bags of biscuits and left in a hurry. They were probably rushing back to school to share this shocking gossip with others.
The girl was now very mad. No matter how she explained, there was no use. Last week, when she was carried back to school by Rob, there were already a lot of rumors. Finally, the heat of the rumors subsided a little. But this time, she was seen by someone in Rob's bakery again. All this was because she couldn't help but stay for an extra breakfast after delivering the gift. Then, she inexplicably helped someone work for a day for free.
The bakery closed at six in the evening. Lolo didn't even eat dinner and ran back to school.
After Master Ukaili baked the last batch of elven biscuits, he also said goodbye to Archmage. Rob took out the biscuits from the oven and wrapped them so that they could be sold tomorrow morning. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Sorry, the bread is sold out. Come back tomorrow." Archmage picked up the mop and was ready to mop the floor.
However, the visitor didn't have any intention of leaving. Instead, he pushed the door and walked in. "I'm not here to buy bread."
Rob found the voice a little familiar. He looked up and saw the young master of Andrea Family and his little follower.
"I heard that you opened a bakery. I just attended the Tanya Family's dinner party and happened to be on the way, so I came to have a look," Caesar said while looking around.
"Welcome. Come in and have a seat. I happen to have freshly baked biscuits here." The future supreme magus Your Honor didn't believe Caesar's nonsense. From the information that Royce gave him, Caesar wasn't the kind of person who liked to sneak into a friend's house for a meal. Moreover, they weren't familiar with each other. At most, they had only met a few times. They couldn't be considered friends. Caesar obviously had something to do tonight.
"In that case, I shall accept your invitation." Caesar nodded. He was still wearing his formal attire, as if he had just attended a noble banquet. He took off his feathered hat and handed it to Leo behind him. When he glanced at the shabby sofa, he frowned slightly. Leo immediately moved a chair to the side for him to sit down.
Caesar sat down and looked around. "Your bakery looks … a little small."
"Land in Siamus is so expensive. It's already not easy to buy a small building near the school." Archmage spoke the truth. He took a bag of biscuits from the counter and served them.
Caesar took out a piece of biscuit and sniffed it. He had no intention of eating it. He then threw the biscuit back into the paper bag and dusted the biscuit crumbs on his hand. "Why do you suddenly want to open a bakery?"
"Opening a bakery has always been my dream. I quite like the smell of bread and the leisurely feeling I get when baking bread." Rob did not lie about this. Those who had not been imprisoned in the tower would probably find it difficult to understand the feelings in the youth's heart. His days in the Royal College of Magic and Magic were dreadfully dull. There were only books and those strange magical materials in the laboratory to keep him company. In order to fully develop his potential, Demain and Steins filled his daily schedule to the brim. Archmage often had to rush for meals. He had always envied those who could spend an afternoon kneading dough and fermenting it while waiting for the bread to sizzle in the oven. He felt that such a life was especially extravagant. He was even willing to exchange the legendary staff in his hand for a month, no, even half a month of such a life.
Caesar obviously could not understand this feeling. He chuckled. "Heh, I heard that your family used to run a grocery store. Oh, right, where is your hometown …"
"Andra Duchy, an unknown small country belonging to the Sacred Alliance. There's a small town called Ryan. Before the underground city was discovered, there was nothing but poverty and ignorance there," Leo added coldly as he looked into Rob's eyes.
"You've investigated my background? But it seems that you have some misunderstandings about my hometown. " Archmage raised his eyebrows. He was wondering if he should pour another cup of tea for them. However, since he knew that Caesar was not here with good intentions tonight, he did not want to do that anymore. He cleaned up the counter and sat back on the sofa.
"I've not only investigated your background, but also most of the freshmen's backgrounds. Many people think that the Andrea Family's sphere of influence is only in a few cities in the South. However, even in the far North, we have allies and friends."
"Oh, that's pretty awesome."
After Caesar finished his sentence, he was waiting to enjoy the surprised expression on the other party's face. However, he only got such a nonchalant answer.
What did he mean by "pretty awesome"? Many nobles didn't even have complete control over their own territories, and the most ridiculous case was that of a Viscount named Rivers. One of his knights rebelled and declared independence, and it wasn't until the second week that the unfortunate Viscount received the news. By the time he crawled out of bed in a panic, the enemy was already at his doorstep, and it was his youngest son who was playing on the city wall who first saw the enemy.
From this aspect, one could see the difference between the old nobles and the new nobles. The old nobles definitely had a strong control over their territories and the surrounding areas. Even the slightest movement would reach their ears immediately. For a family like the Andrea Family, which was popular in the Holy Alliance, it was even more impressive that they could clearly find out the background of a grocery store owner's son in a small town in the northeast of Andella Duchy.
Caesar indeed had the capital to be proud of. However, it depended on who he was compared with. In the human world, apart from the Temple of Light, no one could compete with a behemoth like the Magic Association. In the Magic Association, the person who was second only to the president, vice president, and the nine directors was sitting right in front of Young Master Andre.
However, Caesar quickly found an excuse for Brendel's calm reaction. After all, Brendel was a commoner's child. In their eyes, the nobles were probably a group of people who were high and mighty. It was like a rabbit looking up at a lion. It was impossible to tell which of the lions was strong and which was weak. What he said just now was purely a flirtatious look thrown at the blind.
So, Caesar decided to be more straightforward this time. He snapped his fingers, and Leo took out a document from his pocket.
