After sending Gawain off in a hurry, Victor did not go to the underground chamber of the castle as originally planned, but turned back to the Baron's study.
He has some things that he needs to discuss in detail with his father-in-law.
The red-robed mage chose to leave suddenly at this time. If there was nothing fishy about it, even a smart person would not believe it. I'm afraid that the Baron had already anticipated this, and that's why he still looked that way when he proposed to solve the crisis through the red robe mage.
On the way to the study, Master Zhai thought a lot.
After stringing together the big and small things that happened recently, he suddenly found that he had thought of things too simply.
Those nobles probably really want to use the entire Akihabara to test the Flamingo Archduke, otherwise they would never do so many things secretly.
An archduke faced off against a mysterious mage. All they had to do was take advantage of the situation. It was a very aristocratic calculation.
After thinking about it, Master Zhai showed a faint sneer.
Is it really that easy
¡¡
"Squeak"
Walking to the study, Victor opened the door and saw the Baron raising his head with a bitter smile as expected.
"welcome back."
Afterwards, the Baron pointed to the sofa in front of him, indicating to someone that he could do whatever he wanted.
"Uncle, how serious is this matter?"
Master Zhai sat down and couldn't wait to ask about the specific situation.
¡°I suddenly realized that I had done a lot of things wrong.¡±
Lord Baron did not answer him directly, but scratched his hair in distress. He could trust the black-robed mage in front of him. complained the son-in-law who could complain.
"Maybe Christine is really not suitable to be a lord, she is too upright."
"Well¡¡"
Hearing this, Master Zhai rolled his eyes.
"Christina is also not suitable. That stupid girl's favorite thing to do is to beat her opponent down with her fists."
After that, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and muttered something in a nostalgic and tender tone.
At this moment. Naturally, what appears in someone's mind is a girl they haven't seen for a long time.
"yes."
After hearing this, Lord Baron smiled bitterly.
"Maybe only"
After that, he turned his attention to his son-in-law.
According to his original plan, he just wanted to leave the title of Lord to Christine. At that time, Akihabara was just a barren land for the so-called big shots, and few people would pay attention to it. Such a location was actually very suitable for Christine, who had the ability to uphold justice. The belief in absolute fairness, coupled with the help of the old man left by the baron, is enough to manage this land passed down from ancestors into a peaceful and peaceful existence.
But as things develop, Akihabara's power gradually grows, and everything becomes different.
Today¡¯s Akihabara is no longer what it used to be, and has gradually become a major force in the Randong Territory. Christine's rigid character who adheres to chivalry's dogma is naturally difficult to control.
After discovering this, the Baron had no choice but to turn his attention to his son-in-law.
"Smart, powerful, not rigidif someone is willing, he can definitely become a qualified lord." Taking charge of everything in Akihabara.
"Don't look at me, to me. Magic is more important than the lord."
Looking at the expectant gaze of Lord Baron, Victor shook his head and refused. Even if he wants to become a lord, it will take time. A guy like him who has an uncertain return date as soon as he travels through time cannot become a qualified lord at all.
"Vic, do you care about Kristen?"
The Baron, who was rejected before he could say anything, sighed helplessly.
"That girl accepts death just like her father and her sister. You should be more considerate."
"It's not that I care about that, it's just that I don't have time to stay in the territory at all As you know, uncle, I'm always traveling between different worlds. I'm afraid that I'll encounter something in other worlds and won't be able to take care of the territory at all. An accident occurred.¡±
Seeing that Lord Baron had misunderstood something, Master Zhai smiled bitterly and explained.
"By the way, let's get down to business first. How serious is this matter?"
After that, he changed the subject and asked about something he had always been concerned about.
"You haven't guessed it all."
Baron Swift rubbed his forehead and asked with a wry smile.
¡°I just wanted to make sure.¡±
¡°?Well, things are indeed extremely bad. According to the information I spent a lot of gold coins to collect, those guys are indeed planning to push us out as scapegoats Christine was here just now, and I didn't want her to know that, so I didn't tell you But you don¡¯t have to worry too much. The worst we can do is leave this world. To be honest, I miss Christina a little bit too. That girl has always been my pistachio"
At the end of the sentence, the Baron stood up and patted his son-in-law on the shoulder as if to comfort him.
"So just treat this incident as an ordinary crisis. Maybe, this is a good opportunity for us"
"Vic, my son-in-law, what do you think of the name Earl Parker Swift?"
The Baron laughed and wiped away all the sorrow on his face.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Looking at the baron who suddenly showed such an expression, the house mage walked up to the baron with some worry and asked in a cautious tone.
Are you being driven crazy? It's impossible. Logically speaking, the uncle's endurance should be, probably, roughly very strong
"You bastard, stop thinking nonsense, there's nothing wrong with me."
As if he guessed what someone was worried about, the Baron stretched out his hand and knocked his son-in-law on the head.
This idiot
"Anyway, Akihabara has been forced to this point. Anyway, there is a way out prepared by your boy. Is it wrong for me to try hard? Besides, running away in such a dejected manner is not at all like the character of the Swift family. Back then, The position of Lord was forged by our ancestors with swords and spears"
After listening, Master Zhai rubbed his forehead where he was struck. He asked curiously while facing his father-in-law.
"What are your plans?"
?Looking at the confident look on the Baron¡¯s face, he is obviously very confident. Is there some secret that we don¡¯t know? It seems that Christina is a warlock
"No."
Father-in-law¡¯s answer gave someone the urge to hit the wall directly.
"It all depends on the situation. After all, the direction of things depends on the wishes of the leader of the Flame Bird Knights"
¡¡
Not long after Victor returned to his bedroom, he heard a hard knock on the door.
"Please come in."
"Squeak"
As the door was pushed open, a tall figure walked into the room.
"Master, your dinner."
Afterwards, Master Zhai, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrating, heard a familiar voice whispering beside him.
After that, he opened his eyes clearly. Then he saw Knight Ji, who looked very much like Artoria, wearing a black and white maid uniform, standing respectfully beside him.
"Well."
Seeing what he had been waiting for for a long time, the black-robed mage temporarily put away the messy things in his heart and showed a shallow, playful smile.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"baked beans."
Maid Knight Ji pointed to the food already placed on the table.
"Well¡¡"
The Master Zhai turned his head strangely, and saw that on the table in the center of the bedroom, there were some that had not even been peeled off. The roasted, slightly burnt potatoes were placed on a silver plate, exuding traces of heat.
"This seems to have nothing to do with sophistication."
After looking at it, Victor¡¯s face was full of weirdness.
Logically speaking, the girl he had never dealt with all the time put on a maid uniform and stood respectfully beside him. It really didn't make sense to tamper with the food.
"This is what I made with my own hands. The only exquisite food."
Christine answered respectfully, as if she had not forgotten the identity she was currently playing.
Seeing a faint blush on the girl's delicate face, the house mage weakly patted his forehead.
¡°You idiot, we just want you to prepare a piece of exquisite food, but we don¡¯t ask you to do it yourself
I sighed in my heart. Master Zhai decided to stop here today.
"Do you remember the gem crown? There is what you need there."
There were too many things that happened today, and he needed some time to sort them out. Naturally, he lost interest in training Christine.
"Um?"
This unexpected answer made Christine, who was bowing her head shyly, stunned for a moment. She never thought that someone would let her go so easily,After all, their relationship is not that good.
"I'm a little tired, you should go and rest early."
After that, the girl saw the black-robed mage waving to her, indicating that she could leave.
Not encountering the difficulties she imagined made Christine's impression of someone slightly change. She paused hesitantly, and finally asked in a low voice.
"Victor, am I too stupid?"
In Akihabara, the only person she can talk to is her father. But she always felt that her father thought she was too young and did many things without telling her, which made her reluctant to show her weak side in front of her father. Because of this, she had too many words accumulated in her heart. Today, someone's kindness made her suddenly feel that someone might not be as bad as she thought, so she suddenly wanted to say something.
"Um?"
Hearing this, the black-robed mage who was thinking about something looked up in surprise and saw the girl looking a little lost and confused.
"Maybe a little bit."
Seeing that the girl clearly wanted to say something, the Master Zhai pointed to another sofa in the bedroom and gestured to the girl to sit down and speak slowly.
The conflict between him and Christine is just that they have different values, not irreconcilable. Moreover, they have the same purpose and hope that Akihabara can be better. Naturally, he doesn't mind listening to what the girl has to say. Of course, if we can take this opportunity to deepen the goodwill between both parties, it will be even more perfect. After all, he has a lot of properties in Akihabara, and he doesn't want to have too much trouble with the future lord of Akihabara, which will affect those lovely and charming gold coins.
