Speaking of which, this kind of forceful buying and selling, and not allowing anyone to refuse, was really a rare sight.
Some people would defend those rich young masters, heirs, or second-generation heirs. They would say that in reality, they would not be as domineering as in novels or movies. They would say those shameful lines as often as they did in movies and novels. This was right, but also wrong. It depended on the identity of the person talking to him.
Most of these people would not interact with people who were not on the same level as them. Even if they met by chance, they would act like a spring breeze and have a good impression of them. But the premise was that there was no conflict of interest between the two sides. In other words, that kind of understanding attitude was actually just a kind of social speech. To put it bluntly, it was perfunctory.
But if they did not even want to be perfunctory, and even if there was a conflict between the two sides, money was equal to power, and this was an equation in the society of people. At this time, to expect them to be like a spring breeze? If there was not a typhoon, one would be laughing.
The lion and the rabbit were brothers only because the lion was now full. If the rabbit came to the lion when he was hungry, guess what would happen to the lion as a brother?
Although he did not know what conflict of interest he had with these nobles, Lin was not a young man who had not been baptized by society.
As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple without a cause. The reason why the nobles would look for an ordinary person who had no relationship with them must be because he had some value in the eyes of these hyenas. Otherwise, why would these upper-class people lower themselves to look for an ordinary magician like him? In that case, why was he being targeted by an empire?
Considering that he had a lot of knowledge that was not made public, there were many things that could attract the interest of a country. Before the other party revealed their cards, he could not guess what they wanted.
Or was it that lord's choice again: I want all of it.
No matter which it was, Lin, who was tired of dealing with the greed of these big shots, said directly, "Lord Envoy, please forgive me for declining this appointment."
"Hmph!" With a cold snort from the Empire's envoy, the forty knights on the warhorses pulled out short crossbows in unison and shouted in unison! The momentum was shocking. However, the two apprentices who helped Lin out of the courtyard also stood in front of their teacher, not to be outdone. Kaya held the magic gun in her hand, and Hallumi also held the vine whip and slings in her hands.
The situation could erupt at any moment.
The young noble Aja, who was acting as the special envoy, didn't care at all. He waved the edict in his hand and said unhappily, "Country bumpkin, don't be ungrateful. You have offended the prestige of my empire and committed crimes within the borders of my empire. Even if I cut off ten of your heads, it wouldn't be too much. It was His Majesty the Emperor who was merciful enough to pardon your crime and give you a chance to redeem yourself through meritorious service, considering that you possessed knowledge that was no less beneficial to the country. Today's imperial edict is only to inform you, not to ask for your opinion. If you agree, come with us obediently. If you don't, we'll break your limbs and drag you with us. Is that clear? "
In the face of such a threat, a certain person didn't feel any pain at all. On the contrary, the two girls were so agitated that they wanted to rush forward and slaughter this extravagantly dressed noble child. However, the sudden appearance of a figure between the two groups of people caused the movements of both sides to freeze.
The man bent over, his face almost touching the imperial edict. As he read, he read, "Hmm, hmm, hmm. That old man finally knows how to do something smart. He's not so stupid that he can't be saved. It's just that this position of magic consultant feels like it can be killed at any time. It doesn't have any real power. It's most suitable for some idiots. "
He stood up and turned around. Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared. He was dressed in green noble attire, elegant and appropriate. There was a tuft of purple hair in his black hair. His smile was like the sun after the rain, bright and golden, causing those who saw him to be in a daze for a moment and not know what to say. He pointed at the imperial edict and said to a certain person, "Are you willing to accept this position of magic consultant? If you are, that's the best. I'll go back with you. I haven't lived in the palace for a long time. Although the skills of the imperial chefs are passable, outside, there are people who are worse than them. I'm also a little tired of eating. "
A certain person was basically immune to this old man's smile. The most important thing was that this person had left a deep impression on Lin. The fourteenth prince of the Guevana Empire, Demon Prince Azad. More than half a year ago, an expert who had almost taken his life. With such a grudge in front of him, how could he be attracted to his beauty that was comparable to a woman's? A certain person was not a masochist.
To this question, Lin did not want to answer at all. Instead, he asked another question, "I heard that you were expelled from the palace. Can you still go back?"
"Thanks to those useless people guarding the palace, no one will stop me if I want to go back or leave." Azad spoke as if he was just casually chatting, revealing the terrifying truth behind it.
What an impeccable reason. Lin, who had wanted to say something, suddenly widened his eyes. He looked behind the head of the Demon Prince, who was feared by everyone. The Empire's special envoy, Aja, quickly tore the imperial edict in his hand into pieces and stuffed them into his mouth.
Following a certain person's shocked gaze, Azad turned his head again and looked at the special envoy of the Empire who was swallowing with difficulty. A tuft of hair on his head turned gray. His smile did not change as he asked, "Well, what about the imperial edict that conferred the title of magic consultant?"
Aja, the eldest son of Grand Duke Liza, shook his head and said vaguely, "Conferred? There's no such thing. "
Azad laughed, and so did Lin. Even Aja, whose cheeks were stuffed with bulging cheeks, laughed. However, before Aja could figure out why he was laughing, the magician from the countryside suddenly appeared beside him and sent him flying with a heavy kick!
Aja, who had wanted to curse out loud, realized that the place where he had been standing had been struck by the sword of the Demon Prince, Azad. And this sword had stopped above the leg of the magician from the countryside, above a layer of white light. The two of them looked at each other, smiling and angry at the same time. Their hair turned red. Azad asked, "Are you planning to save that fellow who is not even qualified to be called a piece of trash?"
Lin guessed that this casual strike would not be very powerful, so he took the opportunity to test the defensive capabilities of the Black Tortoise Shield. From the results, he was satisfied. At least it could defend against a blow from the Cassette Cutting clan's weapon. Lin retracted his leg and seriously thought about Azad's question. He replied, "Maybe I just wanted to take the opportunity to kick him. You see, there aren't many opportunities to kick someone in the open and receive gratitude. "
The anger in his eyes disappeared, and his hair turned from red to green. Azad blinked and asked, "Then, how many more kicks?"
"If there's a chance." Lin smiled.
The two of them looked at each other, and very tacitly, they flashed and kicked five or six times in a row. And each move was heavier than the last, and each kick was fiercer than the last. In addition, they were fast, so fast that Aja and the knights had no time to react. The Emperor's envoy was kicked until his head was swollen. Even if the bones in his body were not broken, a few of them were cracked.
After the last strike, the Cassette Cutting Insatu in Azad's hand finally split open the white light of the Black Tortoise Shield. But just as it was about to hit someone's leg, the Flash spell was activated, taking Lin three steps back.
Azad could not hide his disappointment as he looked at Insatu in his hand.
Under Azad's stubborn attacks, the Black Tortoise Shield was finally broken. Of course, Lin had guessed this person's plan, but he could only feel helpless in the face of his unhesitant attitude of threatening someone's life. He couldn't just watch the Empire's special envoy be killed in his own home, could he?
Although it seemed like he could shift the blame to the notorious prince, and the other party did not care about this at all. But sometimes, excuses were just excuses, and there was no point in reasoning. In order to block any possible blame from the Guevana Empire and save the life of the envoy, it was more important to let him die somewhere else.
Using the Black Tortoise Shield to block this person's attack was also a last resort. If he had to kick someone and save someone, there would not be enough time to use Flash to escape. This person was too fast, so fast that Lin could only choose to take the attack head-on.
Fortunately, the Black Tortoise Shield was basically like a forced damage reduction in video games. Breaking the shield would not cause damage to the silk robe itself. And its defense was also quite high. It was almost impossible for an ordinary warrior to break through this layer of shell. This characteristic that was tested out in desperation made Lin feel a little gratified.
But Lin suddenly thought that if he really wanted to save the envoy's life, he could directly use Flash to teleport the other party to a safe place thousands of miles away. It would be better than kicking him one by one now. But on second thought, he still felt that it would be better to kick him. Also, using Flash to save someone would have unpredictable side effects.
On the other side, the reason why the Magic Prince stopped after breaking the shield was that he found himself in the same predicament as in the previous battle. The opponent's ability to dodge did not weaken because of the additional layer of magic shield.
Secondly, if he increased his strength to the extent of breaking the shield, the speed of his attack after breaking the magic shield would also decrease because of the previous layer of obstruction. There was no way he could hit the Mage before he could escape.
He complained to the Cassette Cutting in his heart. Twirling the tuft of blue hair, Azad looked at the Mage who was quite different from the last time they met and said in dissatisfaction, "You're really getting harder and harder to kill."
"You only have one life. If you don't care about it, do you want to count on others?" Lin said with a smile. He pointed behind him and said to the two girls who were half a beat slower and were about to rush forward, "You two, don't come over. You'll just cause trouble."
Also half a beat slower was the Empire's envoy, Aja, who had been kicked until he was covered in wounds. Not only was he covered in footprints and dirt from rolling on the ground, even a few of his teeth had fallen out. He, who spoke with a lisp, finally realized what had happened. He said furiously, "How dare you kick me! Do you know who I am? Do you know how powerful my family is?! You're in big trouble. You're in big trouble. Someone, kill him, kill him for me! "
