"He's just a smart commoner who thinks he can help. In fact, he's just causing some people who aren't qualified to enter this world to step into the wrong place. Now he's actually scratching my teacher's itch and asking him to agree to set up some academy. What a joke, the current fund is already quite tight in terms of utilization, how can we add a seemingly bottomless pit of expenses? If he's really that good, he should find a way himself, not come to me for help. "
Although it was a familiar voice, it was spoken in an arrogant tone. Lin, who had been walking forward excitedly because he found someone, froze halfway, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. He was just thinking about whether to leave quietly, but he was seen at the wrong time. One of the people in the group, as if on purpose, shouted, "Oh, if it isn't Master Cuipwood."
Lin, who couldn't turn around and leave, smiled awkwardly and greeted him. On the other hand, Shure Eon, who turned his head around, looked calm and composed. He raised his glass and greeted them.
It was another good time to turn around and leave. Unfortunately, before Lin could do it, he was pulled into their circle of conversation by one of the people in Shure Edison's small group. He said, "We were just talking about you, Master. Since you're here, tell us about the benefits of that academy. "
Since he couldn't run away, he could only play dumb and pretend that he didn't hear anything. After a few dry laughs, Lin said, "What other benefits can there be, it's just a money pit that burns money. That's why I came to ask Sir Edison to see what the Charlie Richard Fund can help those children. "
With a fake sigh, Shure Edison said, "The fund is very tight now, it's not easy to gather those children in Wulian City. In fact, there's no need to gather them in Wulian City, there's a full set of introductory apprentices on the forum, let them self-study in their hometown. "
"Haha, Sir Edison, you're joking. Whether there's someone to answer the doubts of the younger generation is crucial to a mage. You're also experienced, you should understand this point. "
"Of course, I understand." Taking a sip of the wine in his glass, Shure Edison's eyes showed slyness and said, "I have another proposal to see if you agree or not. Now, the only money that was invested into the fund was the income from the browser technology. If you're willing to include the profits from Language P into the fund, perhaps I can allocate a portion of the money for the academy's use. "
"That's a good idea." Lin Xian agreed. The group of people in front of him were overjoyed. But then he said, "Unfortunately, P Language is not my property alone. It is jointly owned by me and Grand Magician Fen Ni Tikal. Therefore, it's not up to me to decide. She has to agree as well. "
"How is that possible? Everyone knows that Your Excellency's intelligence and wisdom are unprecedented and unmatched. When it came to such a small matter, it was only natural for him to make the decision. How could Tikal, who we don't even know if he's the real deal or a fake, be able to influence him? "Someone in the small circle tried to convince the others. Hopefully, someone would agree to the proposal.
"Oh, a fake? I understand your skepticism. In fact, she herself could not provide any proof that she was the Demon King. But so what? She's a Lich. This is the real deal. I've confirmed it with my own eyes. Whether it's the Demon King or the Lich, I can't afford to offend them. Therefore, if you want the profits from Language P, you may have to convince her personally. I can't do that. "
Seeing that someone was not willing to agree, everyone's interest was waning. There were some useless words that came out of their mouths. Seeing that the others were silent, Lin Xian knew that this was not a place where he could stay. He gave a fake smile, apologized, and left.
But when he turned around, the smile was still frozen on his face. Behind him, there was a faint snickering or snorting sound. Lin Xian knew that he had thought too simply about many things. He sighed in his heart. He was not a little brat who had not seen the world. How could he be so naive to think that if he took out something that he thought was beautiful, everyone would happily cooperate with him? Things in the world were never that simple.
With a trace of understanding and resolution, Lin Xian distanced himself from this group of nobles and wanted to find Fen to comfort him. But when he walked to another group of people, he remembered that the Lich's challenge was not any less than his.
The two groups of people were clearly separated, but the strength of their aura was very obvious. On the side of Fen, who was wearing a peacock green evening dress, there were only a few people. And it could be seen that a few people's eyes were wandering around, as if they wanted to run away.
On the other side, there were nearly ten noble women standing close together. They were at the age of maturity and charm. Compared to them, Fen was like a little girl who had just grown up. Although the total age of this group of people was not as old as the Lich.
And outside of this group of women, there was also a group of people. It seemed that they were unwaveringly standing behind this group of women, but a few of them did not hide their desire as they looked at the people in front of them.
Seeing that the two sides were at each other's throats, Lin did not step out immediately. Instead, he hid on the side and observed. First of all, the two girls in military uniforms, Halumi and Kaya, were able to maintain a stoic expression instead of panicking. This was already a very steady performance. With their age and experience, they could not ask for better.
Fen did not seem to be angered, but she did not show any strong retaliation either. She just looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and let the gossipy women on the other side criticize her from head to toe.
In fact, only the leaders of the group of noble ladies had spoken. The others were just following the flow of the conversation and nodding in agreement. But even so, they were still extremely sarcastic and mean. It was as if the person in front of them was a collection of mistakes. From top to bottom, from head to toe, there was not a single flaw.
"Who, who is it? Weren't prostitutes not allowed to attend the Rose Garden party? Who let her in? "The noblewoman who was leading the group pretended to shout at the surroundings.
Although Fen still looked indifferent, when Lin heard this, he did not plan to continue hiding. "Oh, Madam, please watch your mouth. Slandering a great mage as a prostitute, I think your family should reconsider whether to let you continue using this surname. "
Because Fen did not retort, the person who had been scolding her blurted out something that went too far. In fact, when Lin reminded her, she regretted it. But in this situation, there was no way she could apologize. Her expression changed, and she asked Lin fiercely, "Who are you? What right do you have to speak for her? "
"Good evening, Madam. I am Gabriel Tripwood, her … "Halfway through the introduction, Lin was at a loss for words. He turned to look at Fen and asked, "Who should I be to you?"
Fen, who had maintained a cold and arrogant expression, seemed to melt as she smiled. She walked up and took Lin's arm, saying intimately, "You are the benefactor who brought me back to life, and my man."
Lin couldn't help but praise Fen's Oscar -level acting skills in his heart. Of course, he also played along. He patted her slender hand and said proudly, "That is our relationship."
"Hmph, since she is your woman, you should discipline her well. Wearing this to attend a noble gathering is inappropriate. "
"Hmm, is it inappropriate?" Lin turned his head and put some distance between them. After looking up and down, he asked, "How is it inappropriate? A phoenix that is too beautiful is not suitable to run into a chicken coop? "
"Pfft!" Among the people who were watching the show, a few could not help but laugh, but they quickly covered their mouths.
The group of noble ladies who had been targeting them were speechless for the first time today. They did not know how to respond. Only the leader reacted quickly, saying hatefully, "Tell me, what is the difference between this and those prostitutes who are not wearing clothes? This kind of unscrupulous clothing, which deviates from tradition, has anything to do with beauty? "
But he still said, "There is a piece of cloth on the body, and it is different from not wearing anything. Besides, if the traditional way of dressing is correct, then we should be like those barbarians, wrapped in animal skins. If the weather is a little hotter, then we will simply not wrap anything. "
However, Lin seemed to have been reminded of something. He turned to the Lich and said, "But it's a good idea to wear animal skin. I will hunt a fox and make it into clothes for you. How about it? "
"Wow, a fox is too little."
"You don't sag here or here." Lin Cuo made a comparison between her chest and her buttocks. "— it's not loose here either." This time, she rubbed her slightly protruding lower abdomen. "— aren't you afraid of being seen? If you are a little lacking, like the two little girls beside you, would you look good in this? Flat as a bamboo pole. "
Innocently implicated, Hallumi and Kaya bitterly kicked their teacher. But without the support of magic, the two girls' slender figures were like mosquito bites, even if they were wearing long leather riding boots. Lin did not mind, and continued to mock:
"Oh, ladies, I am not talking about you, so please don't take it to heart. What I'm curious about is, what do your husbands think of the two of you when you're in bed? Or is it just business? If you really want to have fun, you have to find a lover outside. "
"Are … are you kidding me! My husband and I are very loving. "
"Of course, of course, I can understand." Lin spoke while casting a water mirror. "But I don't think that the person your husband loves is someone with such a mean expression." At the same time, the water mirror flipped and reflected the appearance of the noblewoman in the lead for her to see.
It was a ferocious expression of gnashing teeth and anger in her eyes.
Seemingly frightened by her expression, the noblewoman stared blankly.
