However, when Marchioness Barland's apprenticeship ceremony was over, Fen's troubles had just begun. The dozen Life Bishops of the Three Churches of Holy Light didn't come just to watch the ceremony or to congratulate the marchioness. Seeing that things had come to an end, they all stood out and bowed in unison. "Teacher."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't call me that. I didn't agree to take you as my apprentices. Not to mention your age and status, I don't have anything to teach you. " Fen didn't hesitate to interrupt the old men who were coming to Kabamba Academy for the life course.
In the teaching style of the academy, the lecturers and the students all called each other by name. At most, the students would use honorifics when addressing the lecturers. The word "teacher" carried a lot of weight in the land of mystery, and it wasn't something that just anyone could say easily.
"But —" The oldest and seemingly highest-ranking main teaching material opened his mouth, but he was interrupted by Fen again. The Lich said, "In the life course in the academy, I might have been able to teach you a little at the beginning. But now, I'm also working with you on research, and I don't know more than any of you. In this case, you don't deserve to be my apprentice, do you? "
As Fen spoke, she gave a look to the Mage next to her. It was as if to say that he was the one who started the apprenticeship thing, and now that the aftereffects were here, he had to find a way to deal with it. I don't have the patience to care about so many people.
Although Lin didn't have the ability to read minds, only Cassette Cutting did. But in this case, he didn't need to read minds to know what the Lich's disdainful expression meant. It was just that he didn't have any good ideas for these old men. After all, they weren't here to cause trouble, but they were better than those who were.
After holding it in for a long time, Lin only thought of one thing. Well, actually, I didn't prepare so many gifts for the apprenticeship ceremony. Ah, ah, I don't mean that you're greedy for anything. After all, with your status, you've seen and used all kinds of good things. It's just … Oh, this isn't going to be easy.
Although the bishops of the Lord of Life rarely interacted with this mage, they knew that he was not a mean person. Those words might not be pleasant to the ears, but they could be considered unintentional words.
More importantly, if he really fell out with him, he might take advantage of the other party's thoughts and push everything away. It would be better to use soft tactics to win him over. Although they were not familiar with him, from what they had seen and heard, this Magician still held a certain weight in that Lord's heart. If he could take down the other party and get the other party to put in a few good words for him, it would be helpful to his goal.
Therefore, regarding a certain someone's slip of the tongue, the old man magnanimously said, "What have we not seen? So, if you go to the courtyard and pick up a stone, you don't have to lie and say that it's a Sorcerer's Stone. We'll take it. "
It was just the right amount of banter, and not too many people were disgusted. Everyone in the banquet hall laughed a few times. This situation was the most troublesome for a certain someone. He couldn't hit, couldn't scold, and couldn't use extreme methods. If the other party used soft tactics, there was almost nothing he could do to counter. Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I need to pee. I'll leave first." With that, he flashed away.
A certain someone left so quickly that everyone was dumbfounded. Previously, Fen and Lin had also used Flash to come here, but they weren't the focus of attention at that time, so not many people had seen them appear. This time, they were undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention. That Magician had suddenly used Flash to leave without any warning, without any sound, and without any warning, which really shocked everyone.
But … what was the point of him running away?
"Ah! Teacher ran away to pee. "Hallumi's crisp voice was especially loud at this time.
"Tsk! He ran away first. "Fen clicked her tongue. She turned her head abruptly, looked at the three apprentices, and shouted, "Girls!"
"Yes!" The three girls standing together shuddered, and all stood up straight, waiting to be taught.
"Where could your teacher have run off to? I don't know why, but I can't sense where he's gone recently. "Fen asked about a certain someone's whereabouts.
Marchioness Barland, who was completely unfamiliar with a certain Magician, was naturally at a loss. But how could the two girls who had followed that Magician for more than ten years not be able to guess where their teacher was? Hallumi said naturally, "Where else could teacher have run off to? He must've run back home. Unless he was bewitched again, and ran off to play in the Abyss. "
Kaya couldn't agree more, and nodded solemnly at the side. To the two of them, the matter of a certain someone disappearing in the Abyss had filled them with resentment.
Now that they knew where he was, Fen cursed, "Damn it, that guy, I have to teach him a lesson." With that, she flashed away …
After a moment of silence, many people let out a cry of "Ah!" at the same time. Because only then did they realize that a certain Great Magician had also run away. The two girls looked even more aggrieved, pouted, and mumbled, "We didn't even catch up, and we were left here just like that."
As if deeply dissatisfied, the blonde girl complained, "You two, don't you think this is very similar to what teacher said himself? In order to eat and drink for free at a restaurant, two people deliberately pretended to quarrel. Then they ran away one after the other. The kind of situation where they deceived the restaurant owner and refused to pay for the meal. "
It wasn't just Hallumi, and the two girls beside her nodded in agreement. Even many of the nobles in the banquet hall couldn't help but nod in agreement at this extremely vivid metaphor.
And the ones who were full of disappointment were none other than the Life Bishops who had come all the way to Grand Duke Carvey's family territory. The reason they showed up at such a perfect time wasn't the result of careful calculation, but simply because they were late. If the car carrying them hadn't broken down halfway, they should have been able to attend today's banquet on time. Unfortunately, there was no such thing as "if" in real life.
As for the ceremony, although it was over, the banquet was still going on. For such a celebratory event, the nobles wouldn't be satisfied with just holding a banquet for a day.
On one hand, it was also because of the inconvenience of transportation. It wasn't easy to make such a trip, and to have to go home after a few rounds of fun, there really weren't many people who could stand such a thing. So in the plan, in order to celebrate the master-disciple relationship between Grand Duke Carvey's granddaughter and the Great Magician Fanny Tikal, it was to be held for three days and three nights.
But now that one of the protagonists had run away, as the host, he had to come out and clean up the mess. Grand Duke Carvey knocked on the golden cup, and the crisp sound quickly attracted everyone's attention. The old man raised his cup and said, "Thank you all for coming to participate in this grand event and to witness my granddaughter embark on the path of magic. The ceremony has come to an end, and next, it's time for everyone to relax and enjoy. I won't say too much nonsense to spoil the mood, please enjoy the food and wine to your heart's content. "
With that, he raised his head and drank. Many of the men present also drank the wine in their cups boldly, and as for the women, they only took a sip and stopped.
With this as the beginning, the banquet officially entered the theme of "belonging" to the nobles. In addition to some private conversations that couldn't be brought to the table, of course, there were also parents who began to look for their own son-in-law or inquire about the reputation of their daughter.
After all, it was quite rare for so many nobles to gather together in a territory outside the capital. And marriage was even more of a big deal for the nobles. It included carrying on the family line, as well as the alliance of two families' forces, or settling disputes. So it couldn't help but be a headache for those who had direct descendants of marriageable families. Of course, Marchioness Barland and even the two magic apprentices beside her were also the targets of everyone's inquiries.
