However, the apprenticeship ceremony of Marquis Balan is over, and Fen's troubles have just begun. The dozen or so life bishops of the Church of Three Holy Lights were not here simply to watch the ceremony or to celebrate the Marquise. Seeing that the matter came to an end, they all stood up, bowed and greeted: "Teacher."
"Hey, hey, don't call me that. I didn't agree to accept you as an apprentice. Regardless of your age or status, I have nothing to teach you." Fen interrupted the conversation without hesitation. A group of old men who come to Kabamba College to take life lessons.
In the college's teaching format, lecturers and students address each other directly by name. At most, honorifics are used when students address lecturers. The word 'teacher' carries a very heavy weight in Mi Di, and not everyone can easily pronounce it.
"But..." the oldest and seemingly highest-status bishop started, but was interrupted again by Fen. Lich said: "Maybe I can teach you a little bit about the life lessons I took in the academy at the beginning. But now, I am also working with you on research, and I don't know more than any of you." . In this case, being my apprentice is not worthy of the name."
As Fen spoke, he winked at the magician beside him. For example, you were the one responsible for the recruitment of disciples, and now that the sequelae are coming, you have to find a way to deal with them. I can't bear to take care of so many people.
Although Lin doesn't have the ability to read minds, only Haggiri does. But in this case, he didn't need to be a mind reader to know what the lich's disgusted expression meant. It's just that he doesn't have any good methods for these old men. After all, they are not looking for trouble, but they are better than those who are really looking for trouble.
After holding it in for a long time, Lin only thought of one sentence: "Well, actually, I didn't prepare so many apprenticeship gifts. Ah, the point of saying this is not to say that a few adults are greedy for something. After all, in your capacity, I haven't seen anything good. I have, but I have never used it. It’s just... oh, this matter is difficult to handle. "
Although the bishops of the Lord of Life rarely interact with this magician, they also know that he does not have a harsh character. Those words may not be very pleasant to hear, but they can also be regarded as unintentional words.
What's more important is that if you really fall out, you might as well take advantage of the other person's thoughts and push everything away. It's better to use soft tactics to win him over. Although everyone was unfamiliar with him, from what they saw and heard, it seemed that this magician still had a certain weight in the adult's heart. Being able to win over the other party and let the other party say a few nice words will still be helpful to your own intentions.
So when someone made a slip of the tongue, the old man said generously: "We haven't seen anything before. So when you go to pick up a stone in the courtyard, you don't have to lie and say it's a magic stone. We will still pick it up."
The joke was just right and didn't offend too many people. Everyone in the banquet hall laughed a few times. This situation is the most difficult for someone. You can't hit, you can't scold, you can't use ultimate skills. If the opponent is soft, you have almost no moves to deal with it. Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I'm in a hurry to pee, so take a step first." After that, he flashed away.
Someone walked away neatly and everyone was stunned. Fen and Lin also used the flash technique to come here before, but they were not the center of attention at that time, so not many people saw their appearance. And this time they were undoubtedly the focus of everyone. The magician suddenly left with the flash technique without any warning and silently, which really shocked everyone.
It's just... what's the plan if someone runs away?
"Ah! The teacher is pissed." Harumi's crisp voice was extra loud at this time.
"Tsk! He ran away first." Fen said with surprise. He turned his head suddenly, looked at the three apprentices and shouted: "Girl!"
"Yes!" The three girls standing together were excited, and they all stood up straight, waiting to listen to the teaching.
"Where will your teacher run to? I don't know why, but I can't sense the direction in which he is running." Fen asked about someone's whereabouts.
Marquis Balan, who was completely unfamiliar with a certain magician, was of course confused. But how could the two girls who had followed the magician for more than ten years not guess the whereabouts of their teacher? Halumi said naturally: "Teacher, where else would he run? He must have run home. Unless he was confused again, lost his mind and went to play in the abyss."
Kaya couldn't agree more and nodded heavily from the side. For both of them, they were full of resentment when someone disappeared in the abyss.
Now that he knew his whereabouts, Fen cursed and said: "Damn it, that guy, I have to teach him a lesson." After that, he flashed away...
After a moment of silence, many people said "Ah!" at the same time. Because only then did they realize that a certain great magician had also escaped. The two girls looked even more aggrieved, pouting and muttering: "We haven't caught up yet, and we were left here like this."
As if feeling deeply dissatisfied, the blond girl complained: "You two, do you think this is very similar to what the teacher said, that in order to go to a restaurant to eat and drink for free, the two of them deliberately pretended to quarrel. Then one after another Then he ran away. The kind of situation where you deceived the shop owner and wasted a sum of money."
Not only the two people beside Halumi nodded in agreement. Even many nobles in the banquet hall had to nod in agreement with this extremely vivid metaphor.
The ones with disappointed faces were none other than the life bishops who had come all the way to the territory of the Grand Duke of Kawei’s family. The reason why they showed up at such a perfect time was not the result of careful calculation, it was simply that they were late. If the car carrying them didn't break down halfway, they should be able to attend today's banquet on time. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as 'what if' in real life.
Although the ceremony was over, the banquet was still going on. For something worth celebrating like this, the nobles would not be satisfied with just holding a one-day banquet.
On the one hand, it is also because of inconvenient transportation. After finally taking such a trip, I had to go back home after only a few moments of fun. Really, few people could bear such a thing. Therefore, in the plan, in order to celebrate the master-disciple relationship between the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of Kawe and the great magician Fanny Tikal, a three-day and three-night event was planned.
But now that one of the protagonists has run away, the master of the house has to step in and put an end to the situation. Grand Duke Kawei knocked on the golden cup, and the clear sound quickly attracted everyone's attention. The old man raised his glass and said: "Thank you everyone for coming to this event and witnessing my granddaughter embark on the path of magic. The ceremony has come to an end, and then it's time for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. I won't say too much to ruin the scenery. No more nonsense, please enjoy the food and wine.”
After saying this, he raised his head and drank. Many of the men present drank the wine in their glasses with equal courage, while the women only tasted it.
With this as the starting point, the banquet officially entered the theme of 'belonging' to the nobles. In addition to some confidential conversations that cannot be brought to the table, of course there are also parents who are starting to look for their own son-in-law, or looking for the reputation of a daughter from a certain family.
After all, it is quite rare for so many nobles to gather together to gain territory outside the royal capital. And marriage is even more of a big deal for nobles. It includes carrying on the family line, uniting the forces of two families, or settling disputes. Therefore, these people who have direct members of the marriageable family can't help but feel troubled. Of course, Marquis Balan and even the two magic apprentices around her are also the targets of everyone's inquiries.
