"My Lady." The leading female knight wanted to turn around and grab the marquess. But as soon as her hand reached into the room, several rays of white light shredded the arm that reached into the restriction. Blood spurted from the severed arm, splattering all over the marquess, but she was still emotionless. Even Lin was stunned by such a calm attitude.
For someone, of course, it was impossible to list the granddaughter of Duke Carvey as a target of the new rules like the women of the Black Veil Army. The program logic was useful, but because it didn't use fuzzy theory in the formulation of the rules, it was a bit rigid in the judgment. If something regrettable really happened, it would be strange if Duke Carvey didn't turn hostile.
He had thought that the deaths of a few people around him would scare her away, if not make her faint. He didn't expect the marquess to make a choice that exceeded everyone's expectations. Lin was also surprised.
Should she stay? Or chase her away? Lin glanced at Kaya, who had followed them out. The girl's face was somewhat moved that he hadn't seen before. She looked back and forth nervously between her teacher and the marquess with a hint of hope in her expression. Was this the ambiguous feeling of being more than a friend but not yet a lesbian?
Thinking for a moment, Lin said, "You can stay if you want. But there are no servants here to serve you. You have to learn how to live on your own. Is that okay? "
"Yes," the marquess replied simply.
The marquess would rather stay than leave this dangerous place with everyone, and this Mage had actually agreed. Such an attitude made the members of this small guard team feel indignant. But there was nothing they could do. The captain's actions told them that as long as they were outside the range of the room, there was no restriction on speaking, but they couldn't re-enter the room.
Some people wanted to curse a few words to vent their anger, but Lin wasn't the swaggering type. After making sure that the group of women had left, he closed the door and turned to enter, leaving the women of the Black Veil Army without a word. They could only leave resentfully. As for the option of attacking again, no one thought about it.
Kaya came to Lin's side of her own accord, followed by Marquess Barland. The black-haired, brown-skinned girl asked, "Teacher, should we prepare a guest room for Al?"
Al? Who? Just as Lin Gang had this thought, he saw the Marquess hurriedly reach out and cover Kaya's unrestrained mouth with her hand.
Therefore, 'Aiur' was probably the marquess's name or nickname. Lin lectured as he walked, "If you want to make friends with others, the first thing you have to do is to respect their customs and taboos. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. Be more careful in the future. As for the guest room, if the guest wanted to stay, of course, it had to be prepared. Although I don't think it's necessary. That's because the soonest would be in the afternoon, or the latest would be tomorrow. I don't doubt that old man's speed in getting things done. What's more, leaving his unmarried granddaughter in someone else's house, what kind of situation is that? "
Then, what did Murphy's Law say? 'Anything that can go wrong will definitely go wrong.'
In the eyes of a certain someone, a grandfather who doted on his granddaughter and left his unmarried granddaughter in an outsider's home was something that he shouldn't even think about. But, it happened just like that …
Just as Lin Jie had expected, Grand Duke Carvey's reaction was not slow. In the afternoon, a certain someone who was still teaching mathematics at Kabambai Academy was caught in the act by the old man.
Originally, the academy had already banned all people who had nothing to do with academics from entering, which helped a certain someone avoid a lot of trouble. But the Grand Duke's identity, his cooperative relationship with Lin, and the in-depth cooperation between Kabambai Academy and the Automobile Manufacturing and Research Center in terms of personnel allowed this old man to move freely in the academy. Then, he just barged into the classroom.
If someone else dared to do this, Lin would probably use a Flash spell to send the other party directly through the atmosphere and see the beauty of the mysterious land from outer space. But there was nothing he could do about this old man. Not to mention the need to maintain a good relationship between the two of them, Lin Jie wasn't completely on the side of reason regarding his granddaughter's matter. He could only appease the other party and let him finish the class first.
In the mathematics building of Kabambai Academy, in addition to the three classrooms of one large and two small, there was also an office that was used as a teacher's lounge. The original printing room had already been moved to another place. Because of the increase in business volume, there were more people coming in and out, plus problems such as the noise from the operation of the machines, it was a very natural thing to remove business activities from the teaching place.
On the other hand, the aggressive Grand Duke Carvey was waiting in the mathematics building's lounge with two teams of fully armed Duke Guards.
F * ck you! What's with this posture that looks like he's ready to beat up his son-in-law until he's half-paralyzed?
The moment he entered the door, Lin even wanted to use a Flash spell to leave.
In the end, he sat down on the sofa directly opposite him. Without waiting for Grand Duke Carvey to speak, Lin first displayed a series of pictures and video clips that included sound.
The original pictures and videos that were stored with magic contained detailed three-dimensional spatial information, which was why the file capacity was so huge. Lin converted them into flat information and omitted most of the details. In more vivid terms from Earth, the resolution was reduced. The compressed pictures and videos could be stored and displayed using magic stones. It was just that he still hadn't made this technology public.
The images displayed on more than a dozen water mirror screens were photos of the group of female knights of the Black Veil Army sneaking into a room, a warehouse, a silkworm room where all kinds of magic moths were bred, and so on. The video with sound was about the scene of them spouting nonsense, and the content was mostly filled with unbearable insults. It exposed the unscrupulous side of this group of women without reservation.
Lin took the initiative and said, "I just want to ask the Grand Duke something. Are these actions at your behest? "
His momentum deflated, and the old man murmured, "I don't know about these things. And I can guarantee that I didn't directly or indirectly tell anyone to do this kind of thing. What kind of friendship do you have with me? What do you want, just ask directly. If you don't want to, we won't hurt the harmony. Those women are getting more and more presumptuous. "
Not only the old man in front of him, but even the duke's guards standing in two rows behind him also showed expressions of disdain when they saw the evidence that Lin presented. No one suspected that these things were forged by someone. Even if it was a mystery, there was no such thing as photoshop.
He let go of his hand and put away all the water mirror screens. Lin restrained his original attitude of questioning and said, "I also want to believe that this was not ordered by the Lord. Then why did the Grand Duke look for me in a hurry today? "
Skipping over the matter of the Black Veil Army guards, the weakened Duke Carvey asked about the part he was more concerned about. "What's going on with my granddaughter?"
"It was Lady Barran's own request to stay in my house. Because you weren't present, I didn't know whether to refuse or agree. It's impossible to drive her to the streets and let her fend for herself. So I left her behind first. If you want to take the Lady away, you can send someone to take her away at any time. I won't stop you. Oh, that group of women can't. They're already on my unwelcome list. If they come to my house again, they'll die, "Lin said seriously.
Duke Carvey sighed, "Sigh, that group of women is not easy to deal with."
"This is the Holy City of Estali, not the capital of your Empire." Lin smiled.
Although the Holy City was within the boundaries of the Empire, it was nominally a territory directly governed by the Emperor of the Empire. However, if the Guevana Empire wanted to do something, they could at most send some small squads and carry it out secretly. It was impossible to send a large army. Sending an army close to the Holy City was no different from declaring war on the entire group of mages. And if they sent too few, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. The Grand Duke thought so.
The more he knew this mage, the more he didn't feel that he was as weak as the rumors said. Besides, in this incident, as a certain someone had said before, if a guard died to protect his master, he could still be rewarded after death; but if he died for other things, he would instead be blamed.
Even though the women of the Black Veil Army had powerful family backgrounds, they were not ordinary. However, if those families wanted to vent their anger on a Grand Duke, they wouldn't be qualified to do so. As for finding trouble with this mage … Judging from the current situation, even if he didn't die, the group of people behind him with ulterior motives had already begun to make all kinds of small moves.
So Grand Duke Carvey simply stopped thinking about that group of women and talked about what he really cared about. "Little Gai, what do you think that child is thinking?"
"A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. For me, magic and mathematics are easier to understand. "
The two men looked at each other and sighed. Even the guards standing behind the Grand Duke inexplicably let out a few sighs. It seemed that they were all people with stories.
"Forget it, don't think so much." Lin said to the old man who was at a loss, "Sir, you might as well come home with me and ask the Lady directly for her opinion. It's best if you can bring her back. I can't afford to receive such an important guest at my place. "
"It seems that this is the only way," Duke Carvey said somewhat dejectedly.
It was just that when the mighty army was pulled back from Kabambai Academy to a certain person's home. When the old man with the heart of a loving father saw his granddaughter and Kaya sitting back to back, he couldn't say anything.
There wasn't much dialogue between the two girls, and they weren't even doing the same thing. Kaya was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, editing something in front of her Water Mirror screen. A special keyboard was placed on her lap, and she was tapping on it with a crackling sound. Although he could use a virtual keyboard projection, he didn't have the real thing, and tapping on it in the air would hurt his wrist, so Lin made a few special keyboards for his own use.
Marchioness Barland, who was sitting back to back with the black-haired, brown-skinned girl, was also sitting on the sofa, hugging her thigh and browsing the documents displayed on the Water Mirror. She was so focused that she didn't even notice that an outsider had entered this small reception room. Or rather, she noticed but didn't care.
Such an inexplicably harmonious scene confirmed Lin's previous guess. These two radio girls were indeed on the same wavelength. Sometimes, friends didn't need to communicate passionately with words when getting along. Quietly doing the same thing, occasionally exchanging thoughts and exchanging insights, was also the way for friends to get along. The friendship between gentlemen was as light as water. This sentence wasn't without purpose.
Looking at the same scene, the Grand Duke, whose eyes were brimming with tears, couldn't bear to destroy all of this. Ever since the child's parents passed away, he hadn't seen any friends close to her age by her side. She, who didn't even want to be close to her pets, looked at the world with a cold indifference that made people feel scared. If staying here could make her different, then there was nothing wrong with staying.
So, those who hoped that the old man would take his granddaughter back were disappointed …
