After listening to Tisdale's explanation, Baiyi asked, "Have those people ever thought of taking this formation for themselves? A formation that has been passed down from the Ancient Rohlserlian Era... Many people would offer a handsome price for it, wouldn't they? "
"It's useless." Tisdale shook her head as a mocking smile appeared on her face, "My father was the last member of the family to master this formation. He said that he would never hand it over to them and they wouldn't be able to learn it as well. Their entire life was spent on power and benefits and they had forgotten about their faith and mission. In the end, they became no different from an ordinary merchant family. That's why there weren't any geniuses or strong people in the family. I think this is also some kind of protection from our ancestors, right?"
"That's true." Baiyi nodded his head lightly. The essence of a formation lay in the internal flow of Mana and how it interacted with each other, including the timing of the infusion of Mana, the amount of Mana and so on. Especially for a large formation like this, it was not as simple as a few patterns on the surface. It was not as simple as drawing a picture of it.
But more importantly, this formation did not have any practical use. Summoning a soul from 6000 years ago? Summoning an ancestor of the family? How could the current ruler do such a stupid thing? Only idiots like Tisdale who put their mission first would do such a thing, right? It had nothing to do with protection or anything like that. It was all about the human heart and standpoint.
"Speaking of which, didn't you say that your father was the last person to master this formation?" Baiyi suddenly thought of another question. "That's right.
"That's right. My father passed away in an accident before he could teach me. That's why I have to stay here all the time. It's very uncomfortable to live alone in such a big house. I've been wanting to sell it for a long time to ease the situation. Right now, this formation is barely supported by the income of the two alchemy workshops that are loyal to me. It's all thanks to Miss Undine from the Dole family. Her family's purchase price is the most reasonable. That's why it's been able to last for so long, "Tisdale replied. But when she mentioned Undine, a smile appeared on her face as she continued to say, "Speaking of which, Sister Undine is really a kind person.
"Speaking of which, Sister Undine is really a kind person. She used to be a senior sister in the Rose Class who was three years ahead of me. She took good care of me in the academy and has been taking care of me ever since. Even this nightgown was given to me by her … Ahh, she's so beautiful too. I really want to be like her!"
Ahem ahem... You better not become like her... Baiyi could not help but think of the things that he had done to Undine. At once, he felt a little embarrassed. Come to think of it, Undine was only a few years older than Tisdale. How could she bear the burden of the family's revival? The reason why the two of them were so close was probably because of their similar burdens, right?
Baiyi could not help but ask, "Tisdale, what if I didn't show up today? Will you continue to persist in the future? I hope that you can answer me honestly. I won't blame you. "
That question made Tisdale ponder for a while. The expression on her face changed from confusion to determination. Nodding her head firmly, she said, "I will continue to guard this promise and this formation. In the future, I will also find an honest man that I like and trick him into marrying into our family. Then, I will teach my children like how my father taught me and pass on this promise to the next generation!"
As she said that, she seemed to have recalled the willful words that she had said when she was in low spirits. Embarrassed, she reluctantly explained, "The words that I said to give up in the cafeteria... It's just that I was not in a good mood at that time..."
When she was speaking, Baiyi had been carefully observing her eyes. There was a sincere gleam that made him believe that what Tisdale said was from the bottom of her heart. She did not lie to him at all.
After all, he had the professional knowledge of the Charlatan. How could a young girl like Tisdale be able to deceive him? For that reason, he accepted Tisdale's words and understood her mentality. She was still so young and yet, she had to shoulder the burden of the family's mission that had lasted for six thousand years. It was not easy at all.
As for getting married, now that she had become Baiyi's student, there was no way that she could get married easily.
"Well then, I have one last question. Tisdale, do you hate them? Do you hate those who do not understand you and do not support you? "Baiyi finally asked.
Shaking her head, Tisdale said, "I just hate them. My father had taught me more than once that I should not hate my own people. "
Baiyi was satisfied with her answer, so he nodded and said, "That's good. Hatred can easily blind a person's eyes, making him unable to see the true path of power. A person who harbors hatred in his heart will never be able to become a truly strong person. So, I'm very satisfied with your answer. Alright, it's getting late now. Go and rest. "
Tisdale nodded her head. She quickly stood up and bowed respectfully towards Baiyi. She was using the standard Rohserlian sorcerer's posture of crossing her hands over her shoulders, not minding the fact that her chest was exposed.
After she left, Baiyi turned to the Voidwalkers who were watching from the Void and asked, "How was it? This new student is very talented.
"She's very talented, and her progress should be faster than Mia's. She's also a good sister who can take good care of the little guy. She's trustworthy and beautiful. She's really not bad, but … did her parents really die in an accident like she said?" The Scholar was the first to express her opinion. Then, she raised a question that Baiyi had thought about before.
"I've thought about this question before. But if she doesn't want to delve into it, then there's no need for us to delve into it," Baiyi replied decisively. He did not want to dwell on such a meaningless question.
"Tisdale is excellent in all aspects but I have another concern," The Apprentice, who was a professional educator, said, "She seems to be too busy. On one hand, she has to attend classes, on the other hand, she has to maintain the complex magical formation inside the house and manage the operation of the two alchemy workshops. She's so busy that she doesn't even have time to look for Mia-chan. "
"Well, now that I'm here, she won't be so busy anymore," Baiyi said. Then, he lamented, "But then again, even though she has two alchemy workshops, she still has to live such a hard life. The consumption of the formation is really ridiculous... This makes me think that if the cost of the formation was not so high, perhaps her family would not have split up because of the unequal distribution and the promise would have lasted longer. But if it wasn't for the Ancestral Soul Armature that the formation brought, I'm afraid that the promise would have been forgotten a long time ago... Sometimes, things are just so contradictory!"
"That's because the alchemy workshops are in the hands of these mortals!" At the mention of the word 'alchemy', the Walker Alchemist jumped out, "If I were to manage it, it wouldn't be difficult for her to surpass that descendant of the Merchant family. So, Sir Hope, do you think you can step in?"
"Well... There's no need to rush for now." Baiyi pondered for a moment before replying, "It's not really appropriate to step in a student's business. Let's see how it goes after I tell her more about our situation."
"How much do you plan to tell her about us?" The Thane asked.
"I'll be careful not to reveal too much," Baiyi replied. It's not that I don't trust her but I don't want her to get too involved with us. "
Considering the public image of the Voidwalkers, Baiyi's choice was actually to protect Tisdale.
"Alright, alright! Let's not carry on with your boring and meaningless discussion! Let's get down to business!" At that moment, a voice in the Void began to lead the conversation, "Say, Mia-chan, Tisdale and Undine, who do you think is cuter among the three of them?"
Who's the one who started such a boring conversation? Baiyi hurriedly used his consciousness to talk. It's actually the Seventh Walker, Sir Hitman? Why didn't I notice that you were also interested in joining the Gentlemen League?
"Of course, Mia-chan is cuter! Although her looks and figure are not as good as the two sisters, she still has a lot of room for development! "
"As for me, I think Tisdale has a lot of room to grow, don't you think? With such a rare loyal dog attribute, he should be able to do all kinds of shameless play, right? Should he try changing her into a maid's outfit? Or maybe you can start with a cat ear hair clip? "
"How can this be enough?
"Mia-chan is cute and gentle. Tisdale is loyal and reliable. These are all valuable attributes. As for Undine, she's especially beautiful. Hmm … It's hard to choose. But at least in terms of stockings, I prefer Undine's black silk. Plus, she's a colleague's daughter, which is a very precious hidden attribute, so it's not impossible to consider. "
What the hell is a colleague's daughter? Was there such a weird setting? Also, what are you blabbering about? What exactly did you say to get silenced? Without any hesitation, Baiyi cast a Silence Spell on all the gentlemen. As expected, it was a fundamental mistake to allow them to discuss this topic!
In short, just like that, Baiyi welcomed the next morning. On the second day of the holiday, the three of them did not leave the big house. Instead, after Mia helped Tisdale clean the house, the two of them entered into the magic tutoring mode. And even imparted some of his experience in the arena?
