A little earlier, on the day the Empire's special envoy escaped from the Holy City.
The man whose actions were often confusing stayed behind regardless of the situation, adding another customer to Lin's home in the Holy City of Estali. He should have objected to this kind of thing, but a certain someone couldn't insist and finally agreed. There was nothing he could do even if he didn't agree.
The people in the family were familiar with this kind of thing. Their attitude toward Azad was the same as what the teacher told the two apprentices when Fen was resurrected. Anyway, he couldn't win, so he could do whatever he wanted. What else?
Yes, he couldn't win. The current situation between a certain someone and Azad was that neither of them could do anything to the other. The only thing they could compare was the thickness of their skin.
Anyway, after confirming that there was no way to change this willful and reckless person who didn't care about other people's opinions at all, Lin gave up on treatment and went to math class. Then, Fen came back from life class.
When a certain someone finished class and returned home, the courtyard was in a terrible state after a world war. It was as if it had been hit by a round of artillery, with holes and scars everywhere.
The silkworm house was broken. The two girls and Uzov Gantia, who should be in the Technology Guild, were tidying up together, especially the dry silk cocoons that had been accumulated with great difficulty. The jacquard workshop was broken, and the jacquard machine that had just finished weaving a set of silk robes had already left its original position and was upside down. It didn't take a closer look to know that it needed major repairs, which made a certain someone cry.
The most pitiful was the workshop of the silver-bearded dwarves, which was almost razed to the ground. They, who came back from the car manufacturing and research and development center a step later, were looking for the components of the peaceful armed forces in the ruins. And judging from the abnormal swelling on their faces, they probably had dealings with His Highness.
The main house itself was fine, except for a big hole in the wall of the reception room. Vana, who came to help, was struggling to move the broken bricks, and the few people who should be the culprits were sitting calmly in the small reception room, tasting a few wine bottles with broken necks. Of course, there were more wine bottle fragments on the floor and stains on the carpet that were wet with wine.
The Lich, whose mood couldn't be seen, and the magic prince, who was just smiling, looked at each other speechlessly. From the looks of it, no one seemed to be at a disadvantage. Shi Dong, who had been hanging on the roof of the silkworm house for more than a year, shouldering the responsibility of suppressing and monitoring the Devil Moths, was now lying on the table with his eyes closed in silence. Those who didn't know better would think that this was some kind of performance art, using a dead person's head as decoration.
Apart from them, there was also an unexpected guest, the White Swordsman, William Greco. Dressed in white, he sat between Fen and Azad, separating the two. His expression was one of helplessness that was rarely seen. For someone who could deal with most things indifferently, such an expression was quite rare.
Passing through the hole in the wall of the reception room, he waved his hand and used Blink to help Vana move the large rocks to the outdoor area. As soon as he entered the house, the first thing he did was to ask Fen, "Are you alright?" The reason he asked this was because the shackles on Fen's body by the eight Lords of Power had yet to be released. It was just that she wasn't in a hurry to solve this problem. She had never tried to solve it before.
The Lich, who was asked, didn't have much of a reaction. She only glanced at a certain person with a strong sense of dissatisfaction. Lin could only rub his nose awkwardly and turn to look at William Greco, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, and say, "Long time no see, my friend. How did you find my house? "
That handsome face that would make both men and women jealous could only shake his head helplessly and say, "I came to the Holy City's Technology Guild through the introduction of the Turtledove Alliance. I didn't expect to hear about you, so I came to your house under the lead of Comrade Uzov and wanted to greet you. But I had no choice but to take action when I encountered this battle, and I even smashed a lot of things. I'm really sorry. "
"That's nothing, as long as you're fine," Lin said politely. He then turned to look at Azad, who was staring at him fiercely without any hesitation. He didn't know why this guy was crazy, but he instinctively didn't want to ask. It would be troublesome if he did.
However, he didn't want to open his mouth and didn't know where to start. Azad, on the other hand, didn't have so many concerns and said, "Why did you make your house no different from a Magic Tower? I've broken through the Mage Saint's Magic Tower, but it wasn't as dangerous as yours. Did those idiots build a five-story Magic Tower for nothing? "
"There are always unruly people who want to harm me. I still want to live a few more years. It's not too much to make it like this. Which of those veteran mages' houses or towers isn't full of traps? Every three steps, there's a pit, and every five steps, there's a kill. It makes it so that they have to be very careful when they walk around their house. At least here, it's much more relaxed. As long as they don't break the rules, they don't have to walk around in fear. "
Although it was only in the Magic Tower that the Tower Master had the power to kill. However, in practice, if an outsider broke into a private house or a noble's castle and was killed by the master, no one would really care. Therefore, some mages who couldn't live in the Magic Tower would indeed renovate their houses and set up traps. But, perhaps, it wasn't as exaggerated as a certain someone.
It was just that in response to a certain someone's explanation, Azad pretended to be displeased and said, "It's fine if you make your own house into a trap, but why do those attacks only chase after me? And it feels more and more threatening. Maybe you should consider being fair and greet whoever makes a move. In this way, I might consider not tearing down the house, so you don't have to redesign it. "
You're not tearing down the house, but you're tearing down my courtyard, right?!
Lin took a deep breath and didn't argue with this person. He said, "There's no such thing as fairness in this world. Your Highness, do you believe these two words when they come out of your mouth? "
"It's only fair if it's beneficial to me; there's no such thing as fairness if it's disadvantageous to me. This is how the world is fair. You, who take these two words seriously, are the ones who are so stupid that I can't imagine. "Azad said very smoothly, without any sense of shame.
Although he was angry and wanted to find words to refute, Lin opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. With the extent of this fellow's mouth and his constant sarcasm, how many of those arrogant big shots could tolerate it? No wonder conflict was unavoidable. And as long as there was a conflict, there weren't many who could win. This was why the Magic Prince's notoriety was so notorious.
However, it was close to dinnertime, and the two girls were still cleaning up the mess outside. Vana was also busy cleaning up the holes in the walls of the reception room. It can't be that they didn't prepare anything, right?
At this time, the two girls walked in angrily, pouting. They could only swallow their dissatisfaction and say, "Teacher, please wait for us. We'll go prepare dinner."
At this time, Vana had also finished her work and was about to help prepare dinner. Lin stopped her and let Vana take care of herself first. She didn't know any magic, unlike the two apprentices. Halloumi and the others could use magic to clean themselves, but Vana's white apron, face, and hands were all covered in dust. A certain someone didn't want to eat with extra ingredients, so he stopped her.
Turning his head, Lin smiled and said to William Greco, "I told you before that when you come find me one day, I'll treat you to something delicious. Today, I'll fulfill my promise and personally prepare dinner. Please wait a moment. "
When Lin saw Azad's enigmatic smile, he only smiled back and said, "My family's motto is, when friends come, there's good wine and delicacies; when enemies come, there's axes, swords, bows, and arrows. So what you want to eat depends on your attitude. At least stop for a while before dinner. I promise you'll have an unforgettable memory. "With that said, he left with the two apprentices.
"Teacher, should we prepare the main course?" asked Halloumi, who was following behind him in the hallway.
"No, the main course is too time-consuming. It would be fine if we prepared it in advance, but there's not much time left until dinner. Even if the guest doesn't get impatient, I'll be starving first. So just prepare with what we have. "
Lin looked at Halloumi and said, "Girl, go get flour and flour and make noodles. About medium width is fine, don't be too thin."
Then he turned to Kaya and said, "I remember that we have some bean paste. Bring all of that, and then find some butter, chicken fat, lard, rice wine, fermented glutinous rice, ginger, garlic, chili, pepper, black bean paste, rock sugar, and green onions from the food storage. Bring a bit more of all of these. If we have Baikou, Caoguo, Sannai, Clove, Amomum amomum, Xiangguo, Cumin, Cinnamon, Hay, Twigs, Pai Cao, Laokou, Sweet Pine, Tangerine Peel, Lemongrass, Star Anise, Coriander, Senecio, Fennel, Perilla, and Liang Jiang. "
Thanks to Ruan Wenyue's Jia Long Chamber of Commerce backing the car manufacturing and R&D center, perhaps he didn't specialize in agricultural products, but it wasn't a problem to get all kinds of strange vegetables, spices, and grains from his relatives. If there was anything to regret, it was that the Jia Long Chamber of Commerce still hadn't found 'tea'.
Although he didn't know if he could find all of the things he requested, he would use as much as he had. And those things were organized by the two girls, so instead of the teacher rummaging through the storage himself, he might as well tell them directly. The chances of finding all of them were higher.
Although someone reported things quickly and hurriedly, the girl who had long been used to it still remembered every word. But today, the reticent girl still opened her mouth and said, "Teacher, what kind of hell cuisine are you going to make?"
"Hehe, I haven't tasted something like this in a long time." The teacher kept her in suspense.
Perhaps a certain teacher's authority in magic and learning was not as good as another Lich's, and even his status in the family was the same. But when it came to eating, he was the absolute hegemon! As long as he opened his mouth, no one would dare to oppose him.
With limited materials, there were limited methods. With the support of the Jia Long Chamber of Commerce's various spices, of course, there were also methods of using spices generously.
But although he had collected a lot of spices, Lin had been heavily injured by the eight Lords of Power, and was busy setting up the R&D center, so he still followed the method of the two apprentices when it came to cooking. This time, Lin picked up a big spoon for the first time in a long time and let the lost people see the efforts of the single dog in the kitchen to not become an outsider!
