"Girls, you haven't finished your apprenticeship yet, so you have to listen to your teacher's orders. There's no problem with that, right? A bunch of kids who don't know anything. It's just right for you to teach and manage them. You can't expect me to do everything, right? What can I teach them? It's advanced mathematics, and elementary mathematics. Besides, why don't you think about what happened to me the last time I taught a bunch of kids? All this work is to train you so that you can be independent in the future. Since you can't run away anyway, just do it happily and don't complain. You're all the same. "
Someone spoke in a dignified manner and deliberately ignored the exact quantifiers. This was because for some reason, Marchioness Barland was standing with Kaya, Halloumi, and Leonardo. She was obviously the Lich's apprentice. But since they were all in the same group, he might as well push them into the pit together. Anyway, pushing one was pushing, and pushing four was pushing.
Besides, his own apprentice always went to the shed next door to help. He squeezed the Lich's apprentice a little. It was just to get back some interest. It was not a big deal. Anyway, according to his observations these days, as long as Kaya was dragged into the water, the Marchioness usually couldn't run away. This kind of buy one get one free deal was a bargain. Only someone with a brain wouldn't do it.
Using his authority as a teacher, Lin forcefully suppressed the weak protests of the apprentices. He then turned to the noisy children and said, "Don't make a fuss out of nothing. Think about it. Are you here to learn or to be my apprentice? If it's the latter, go back to where you came from. I don't have the patience to teach so many apprentices. If it's the former, does it matter who teaches you? Besides, it's just basic knowledge. It's the same no matter who explains it. Don't tell me you think that if I explain it to you, you'll be able to learn it immediately and you won't understand it no matter how hard it is. Whether you can learn it or not depends on whether you're smart enough. It's not the person's responsibility to explain it. "
"Teacher …" The audacious Ezio still dared to speak up even after a certain someone had beaten everyone up. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the Mage again.
Lin said, "Stop! Don't call me teacher. I've said it before, I'm not taking you in as apprentices. If you are willing to give up on the condition that you will regain your freedom after ten years of service, then I have no objections. You have to know that the relationship between a teacher and an apprentice is something that lasts a lifetime. — — "
Immediately, most of the children shook their heads like a rattle drum. At the same time, they looked at the people standing behind a certain Magician. Apart from the veiled woman, whose expression could not be seen, the other two women had a sorrowful expression on their faces. The other man, however, had a somewhat confused expression. She was so adorable that she had no idea that she was about to face a great disaster.
"… There is only a contractual relationship between us. If you don't know how to address me, just call me 'sir'. Also, don't call me Lord or Your Excellency. I'm not a noble. All of you are the same. "
"Yes, sir." The one who spoke was still the chubby boy who had run away from home. Perhaps the lesson he had previously taught him was more or less effective, or perhaps the ruthlessness he had displayed in the past few days scared the child, or perhaps there really was another reason. In short, Ezio's voice was much more polite as he said, "We have a companion who is sick. Can we ask elder sister to help treat him?"
Of course, the elder sister that Ezio spoke of was the same as Hallumi and the others. Last time, a certain chubby boy recklessly called out 'auntie', and even Old Augustus was hung up and beaten together with him. No one wanted to experience that bitter experience a second time. Even if it was a child who was beaten one day and forgotten the next, such a lesson was deeply engraved in their bones.
It's just that … 'companion'. Lin looked at the chubby boy with a smile that was not a smile. Of course, a certain someone had no objection to Ezio's choice of position. It's just that looking for Lich for treatment, no matter how you think about it, doesn't feel reliable.
There were too many things to complain about in this matter. First of all, what was Fen's status to treat someone else's illness?
There were quite a few people who came to Fen's door, but they hoped to use their connections to ask any archbishop of the Three Holy Churches from Fen's life course to treat someone. Basically, as long as these archbishops were willing to help, the dead could be resurrected, not to mention ordinary physical disabilities or all kinds of strange diseases.
They had thought that Fen would be impatient with such behavior, so she refused to see these uninvited guests. It turned out that a certain Earth transmigrator was still too kind.
That Lich met everyone, and no matter what kind of gift it was, she accepted it all, no matter how valuable it was. And then she did not do anything …
If someone came to her door to reason, Lich would not go as far as to kill them, but the people who came either had their hands or feet broken. Gradually, the rumor that she took the money but did not do anything spread. At first, there were still some archbishops who wanted to help so that their respected teacher would not have to bear such a bad reputation. But these people were warned by Fen, forbidding them to take the initiative to find those who gave her money.
This kind of thing happened so many times that those who wanted to use their connections to get help no longer came to her door. Everyone was willing to give money because they wanted to have a chance to live. If someone dared to take the money but did not do anything, they would definitely be beaten to death. But if they could not be beaten to death … Money did not grow on trees, so naturally, it would not be thrown into this ditch called 'Fen', and not even a sound would be heard.
It had to be said that although this would ruin her reputation, it would save Fen a lot of trouble. At least, those annoying flies would not come to her door anymore.
Secondly, was it serious? Looking for a Lich to treat her illness? Although necromancy, life divine arts, and healing magic all had the same goal, it was not unreasonable for them to be divided into three branches of learning. At the very least, different systems of mages and priests had different ways of thinking and solving problems. There were good and evil ways. That was why they were divided into different systems.
But Lin had to pay attention to the problem that Ezio brought up. After all, a large group of children lived in a place without any sanitation.
It was not surprising that they would contract any kind of disease, so it was necessary to do a check. Needless to say, after Ezio brought it up, many malnourished children who looked obviously abnormal also raised their heads to show concern.
But this matter could be delayed, so he said, "Children, there is no need to rush this matter. I will ask my apprentice to arrange a time for all of you to do a health check. When the time comes, the illness will be treated and the injury will be treated. Don't think that this is a small matter that is not worth such a big fuss. In the future, you will all live together. If any of you contract an infectious disease, there is a possibility that it will spread to the others. So, no one can ignore the signs of disease. "
Compared to the elation of the children, the apprentices standing behind one of the mages grumbled in a low voice, "Work has increased again."
