It wasn't until the magic apprentices in the hall began to answer questions consciously under Emma's influence that Victor, who had been watching all this in front of the metal screen, asked.
"What do you think, uncle and Christine?"
"I think Emma is very suitable."
Uncle Parker made his decision without any hesitation.
Asuo is far inferior to Emma in terms of both his methods and personality. It is not surprising that the Viscount, who has always been fair, makes such a judgment.
"I have no opinion."
Christine echoed.
During the time someone left, Emma, ??a battle mage, stayed by Knight Ji's side. The future lord liked that very hard-working and motivated girl very much. Moreover, the selection this time was fair and impartial. The black-haired girl had defeated all competitors, so she would naturally not have any other opinions.
"But¡¡"
Hearing that the two men made the same choice one after another, Master Zhai raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That girl Emma is too thoughtful. If I give her too many rights, I'm afraid she will"
The root cause of why a black-haired girl has always been disliked by someone is the bad impression she left when they first met.
The girl who used him and then abandoned her at will made him always wary of girls. Naturally, he did not want to leave this position that could lead directly to the decision-making level of Akihabara to a girl.
"Don't worry, I'm very good at dealing with this kind of girl."
The Viscount stood up and patted his son-in-law on the shoulder comfortingly.
Ambition and ability are often directly proportional. Viscount Swift has rich experience in controlling such subordinates.
"All right."
Seeing his father-in-law¡¯s confident look, Master Zhai decided not to say anything more. He has said everything that needs to be said, and I believe that the Viscount already knows it in his mind. What he says will have no use except wasting his lips and tongue.
"I'm leaving first, those little guys are still waiting for me"
Afterwards, the black-robed mage said goodbye to the two of them.
"Let's go together."
Hearing this, the Viscount and Christine stood up at the same time and walked towards the door with him.
They also have things to be busy with.
¡¡
In the next period of time, everything went on in an orderly manner.
The appeasement of the territory, the recruitment of knights, the purchase of materials, the sale of magic items and other large and small matters have Viscount Parker and Christine going around and around, completely falling into a non-stop state. As for another top executive in Akihabara? A certain black-robed mage named Victor was hiding in the basement of the castle under the pretext of training a magic apprentice, enjoying the leisure that the other two people could never enjoy.
After the three of them parted ways that day, in order to prevent some smart little guys from overthinking, Master Zhai carefully acted out the exam according to the script.
? Collect the papers, read them, and then take out six answer sheets that he feels good about, gather those little guys together again, and let everyone vote to choose whose answer sheet is the best.
There is no doubt that Emma won by a large margin. Her past performance has been recognized by most magic apprentices, and they are more willing to choose this black-haired girl with a good first impression than other unfamiliar people.
When the results came out, Master Zhai directly announced that Emma had become the leader of everyone.
After that, he left the black-haired girl alone.
Watching the magic apprentices leave, Victor turned around without saying a word, leaving Emma behind to look at the gem crown sealed in the center of the hall.
Seeing his actions, the black-haired girl did not make any questions or sounds. She just stood silently beside the black-robed mage, quietly waiting for someone to speak.
After being silent for a long time, a certain house suddenly murmured in a voice without any fluctuation.
"You know, I actually dislike you very much."
At this time, he did not turn around, but only left the black-haired girl with a black back that showed no emotion or anger.
The girl did not refute or explain, she still waited quietly.
After a moment of pause, the home mage raised a hand as if he had forgotten the topic, tapped it a few times in front of him, unlocked the magic lock that sealed the gemstone crown, and took out the replica Ravenclaw diadem inside. . After that, he turned around suddenly and looked at the silent short-haired girl behind him with his dark eyes. As he turned back, the girl saw someone holding the crown in one hand and a ball of pale flames that kept changing in the other hand, making the girl feel palpitated and frightened. He was staring at her with eyes that she could not tell whether she was happy or angry, as if he could feel it at any time. Prepare to give her a fatal blow.
Seeing this, Emma¡¯s expression did not change at all, she still lowered her head and remained silent.??Waiting for someone's next move.
During the time when the two were separated, the girl grew up a lot and became a lot deeper, and she would no longer be frightened by such tricks. And after this month of contact, she already had a general understanding of the character of the otaku mage. She knew that since someone gave her the leadership position in front of all the magic apprentices, he would not make any particularly big changes. Because in essence, someone is a very trouble-free and lazy person.
Now, the reason why someone does this is more to warn her, after all, the initial encounter between the two was really bad.
Regarding this, the girl has not thought of putting on a show and following the black-robed mage's wishes to fool someone. But such thoughts swirled in her mind, and she gave them up without hesitation. Her nominal teacher is not an idiot, and it is difficult for her to ensure that her flaws are not revealed. Rather than risk being exposed by acting, it is better to respond with such an attitude. At least, this won't be self-defeating and make someone hate her even more.
The girl who has gradually entered the upper echelons of Akihabara has discovered that the person supporting Akihabara to this point is the black-robed mage in front of her who has no good impression of her.
She wants to realize her dream and escape from the slum life forever. Currently, she can only rely on this person.
After staring for a long time, the home mage suddenly put away the cold flames of bones and threw the bright gemstone crown in his hand to the short-haired girl in front of him.
"It's yours."
After doing this, he passed the girl and walked out of the underground hall.
"If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me. I will try my best to answer you during my time here. By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Starting from reality, you will become my third An apprentice"
Having said this, Master Zhai stopped and turned to look at the girl who was still bowing her head in silence.
"We are all smart people. You must have understood what I mean, right?"
"If one day you do something harmful to the people around me, I will never mind recovering everything I have given you now"
Hearing this sentence, the girl finally had an expression.
"Yes, teacher."
She bent down slightly and assured the black-robed mage's position.
When the girl raised her head, she saw that Victor had already left, leaving only a blurry figure behind her.
When the Master Zhai's figure disappeared completely, the girl let out a long breath and showed a satisfied, happy and sincere smile on her face.
It finally passed
This smile did not last long before the girl carefully put it away. After that, she took a complicated look at the direction in which the black-robed mage disappeared, then hugged the crown leading to the magic door and left here silently.
One day, I will surpass you, and then
¡¡
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, Victor had been in this world for two full months.
In Swift Castle, Master Zhai looked at the two new time and space doors in the system space, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Since that incident, his life has returned to peace and leisure. For nearly a month, his most time-consuming job every day was to guide the magic apprentices so that they could complete assembly line repairs and simple alchemy enchantments, ensuring that even if he was not around, the entire Akihabara secret base could normal operation. Among those magic apprentices, Emma was naturally the one who occupied most of his time.
For this girl, he completely treated her as a substitute when he was away, so he was very attentive and did not have a perfunctory attitude.
Emma is also studying very hard, because she knows that what she is learning now is the key to the world she longs for most. Occasionally, she would wonder about someone's attitude, but it never affected her study. She had experienced too much suffering in the slums, and she never wanted this unimportant doubt to ruin everything.
As for what the Master Zhai is thinking? This is actually easy to understand.
In someone¡¯s opinion, he has an absolute advantage over Emma, ??and it is difficult for a girl to escape his control, so he doesn¡¯t mind teaching the girl more things. Coupled with the fact that the Viscount is an insurance company, his further precautions will have very little effect. The most important thing is that Akihabara currently lacks someone who is proficient in magic alchemy, and among those apprentices, only Emma is suitable
"I hope she won't disappoint me"
Thinking of the black-haired girl, Master Zhai murmured with emotion.
During this period, the girl's diligence and studiousness left a deep impression on him. Without that bad beginning, it would be difficult for their relationship to become what it is now.??Appearance.
After murmuring, Victor moved his body slightly, changed into a comfortable position, and thought about another thing.
After a month of busy work, the new Akihabara has settled down. There is not much difference between his presence and absence. In addition, Emma has already taught almost the same things, which makes him want to leave this world. Now that a new time and space gate has been born, there is no benefit for him to stay here any longer, and his desire to leave is naturally stronger.
"Well, let's go say goodbye first. We haven't seen that girl Christina for a long time"
After saying that, Master Zhai got up and walked towards Viscount Parker's study.
¡¡
At the same moment when Victor was about to leave this world, several gorgeous carriages engraved with the flamingo family crest, escorted by several red-armored knights with bright armor and stern expressions, quietly appeared on the edge of the Chaos Winter Territory. , swaying towards Luandong City.
The new earl of Luan Dong has quietly arrived
