Undine did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw Attie's resolute attitude. She even felt that Attie was a completely different person from the hateful woman who had tied her up in the tent and hung her there for days.
Baiyi, on the other hand, was pleased with himself. He caressed Attie's head while Mia and Vidomina wiped his armor with warm towels. Laeticia had also taken the black cloak to clean it. If Undine had not held Tisdale back, she would probably have thrown herself into Baiyi's arms.
Undine was a little envious of the heartwarming scene. She muttered, "He really knows how to trick little girls …"
"Well, I'll write a letter for Attie and ask her tribe to cooperate with us. I just don't know how much help they'll be," Baiyi said generously. At the same time, Mia and Vidomina had finished scrubbing his back and were now lying on his thighs with their faces buried in his chest. The scene was a little too unsightly, so Baiyi snatched the towel from their hands and said softly, "Go and have your breakfast. I'll wipe the front myself." Baiyi nodded and said, "Go and have your breakfast. I'll wipe the front myself."
The fairy, Nota, had already brought out the fragrant bread and the golden, crispy eggs. Naturally, Undine would also have her share. Hence, the swordswoman who had successfully transformed into a businesswoman enjoyed the craftsmanship of her students while mumbling, "About the price reduction of those matching circles …"
"Don't even think about it. I'm already being nice by not raising the price," Baiyi said, annoyed.
"How could you …" Undine shook Tisdale's arm, feeling wronged. "Help me out, okay?"
Tisdale shook her head. "He'll hit me …"
"You're such a good girl, and he's willing to hit you?" Undine was a little surprised.
"Yeah, it hurts …" Laeticia chimed in. "I didn't do my homework properly last time, and he hit me …"
Undine glanced at Baiyi, who was watering the plants by the window. She lowered her voice and said, "How about … we go to another school? I know an aristocratic school for girls. It's full of elegant and generous girls. It's great. "
In the end, the girls shook their heads at the same time and rejected her good intentions without hesitation.
"This guy … really knows how to coax little girls!" Undine sighed again. "Fortunately, I'm a mature woman and won't be fooled by these little tricks!"
After she was done, Undine had to take her leave. She was actually very busy at the moment. Even though it was such an important matter to discuss with Baiyi, she could only rush to meet him early in the morning, which was not a very suitable time because all the other good times were already taken up by more important things. Before she left, Baiyi took the animal flower pot outside to bask in the sun, so he decided to send her off.
"Ah! Oh right! " As soon as Undine walked out of the door, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and asked, "That array of yours, will it really not be cracked and copied by others? In fact, we've lost some gliders a while ago. "
"You can always find someone to try." Baiyi did not really care about that kind of thing. He was busy bending down and arranging the animal flower pot neatly at the best spot in the courtyard facing the sun. Sunny the sunflower was dancing at the side. According to it, it could help the plant grow faster.
"Since you're so confident, I'm relieved." Undine did not doubt Baiyi's ability at all. It was just that even though she had already finished her words, she was still not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she became a little bashful. Her hands were fiddling with the hem of her skirt and her face was blushing. She looked like a little girl who was about to confess her love.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else? "Baiyi lowered his head and fiddled with the newly sprouted seedlings in the flower pot as he asked without turning his head around.
"That … That's …" Undine lowered her voice so low that it was as soft as a mosquito, "The man in black who fought with you before … Did he not show up again? You've snatched his War God's Sword. I don't think he'll let you go so easily, right? "
Why is this girl so bothered about that sockpuppet of mine? Baiyi was puzzled but he still replied, "I didn't see him again. What's wrong? Do you really want to see him? "
"Who wants to see that bastard?!" Undine quickly retorted, "It's just that … He did save me after all. I've never had the chance to thank him …"
"It's good that you have this intention. I think he will feel it," Baiyi replied casually.
"Oh … I'll leave first then. Please hurry up with those formations," Undine said in a low voice as she quickly ran towards the carriage that was parked outside the courtyard.
The Merchant whispered in the Void, "Sir Hope, actually, it's not like you can't consider this junior of mine? She's very pretty and has a very obedient personality. Most importantly, she's quite rich … Eh? Two heroines? You guys … Don't … I was just joking … "
Did he offend these two women in some way? Baiyi thought curiously. He stood up from beside the flower pot and asked the sunflower that was still dancing beside him, "That's it, right? Oh … That's good … You have to take good care of them for me! "
The sunflower smiled at him with an expression that said, "Leave it to me." The smile looked exceptionally warm and sunny. However, when Baiyi recalled the sunflower's true form and the way it ate its food, the smile became twisted and creepy.
There shouldn't be any problem … The sunflower said that it could listen to the sounds of plants and understand their desires and desires so that it could take better care of them. That was why Baiyi allowed it to touch his pots of treasures.
"Aren't you worried about what the Merchant Lady said? Is it about the missing glider? "The Scholar suddenly asked in the void.
"What's there to worry about?" Baiyi asked curiously. "Don't tell me you really think that someone can break the formation that I left behind? I've added Prohibition No. 16035 on it. Do you remember how long it took you to break it the last time? "
"You have the cheek to say that?! That problem is a dead end! There's no way to break it! "The Scholar seemed to have recalled the past when she was teased by Baiyi.
"That's right, isn't it? By the time those sorcerers start to study the Ancient Rohlserlian Formations, and when they finally realize that it's all a trap, the timeline of the world will have already changed," Baiyi said, amused. "That's right.
At the same time, in a noble's manor that Baiyi did not know of, three old men with white hair and beards, wearing the standard robes of the Doors of Conundrum, were sitting around a table. Each of them had a gloomy expression on their faces, as if they were frowning.
"Three masters, you are already the people who know the most about formations in this world. But now that seven days have passed, you …" A man dressed like a noble sat at the other end of the table and looked like he was having a headache.
"My Lord Earl, this is not to belittle us, but the prohibition on this formation …" The old man's face was full of shame, and he hesitated.
In front of the three of them, there was a magic formation drawn on a piece of parchment. It had just been removed from a glider that had been lost by a certain family.
"We're just like apprentices in front of the master who set up this formation …" Another old man said with a hint of grief and indignation. "His understanding of formations and prohibitions has far surpassed the limits of what we've grasped …"
"Please forgive us for being powerless," the last old man said, and he turned to leave in shame.
"My Lord Earl, we will refund your commission. But I hope that you can tell us, on account of our hard work, who is the master who set up this formation? The three of us really can't imagine that such a person exists in this world! "
"Yeah … I almost thought that the legendary Rohlserlian Emperor had come back to life."
"The study of formations is an unpopular subject nowadays. Very few people are able to study it to such a high level. We would like to meet this master, as an apprentice."
The noble's face turned sour. He took a few deep breaths, and after a while, he said, "Please forgive me for not being able to agree. This involves an important promise."
The three old men shook their heads and did not pursue the matter any further. They left a bulging bag of money on the table and left with regretful looks on their faces.
The Earl watched as the three old men boarded the carriage. Then, he rushed into another meeting room in the manor. There were three middle-aged men in the room, wearing the standard robes of the Sorcerer's Association. They looked much younger than the three old men, and their expressions were much more relaxed. One of them was fiddling with the same parchment as before, chatting with his companions.
"Everyone, is there a result?" The Earl asked eagerly. "I hope to hear good news."
"Of course!" One of the sorcerers from the Sorcerer's Association answered loudly, sounding very confident. "We have contacted the headquarters, and they can produce the same runes."
The Earl heaved a sigh of relief, and his face finally broke into a smile. "As expected of the masters sent by the Sorcerer's Association. They are reliable, unlike those old pedants from the Door of Conundrum. Since you are able to replicate the same runes, the rest will be easier to negotiate. The only thing I don't know is the price … "
"My Lord, don't worry. The Sorcerer's Association has always been fair when it comes to business." Another sorcerer replied, "The one-time replication fee is only 200,000 gold coins, and each subsequent set of the same runes will be sold for 5,000 gold coins. The headquarters has also agreed to this price. What do you think? Very fair, right? This is the best price I can get for you. "
