Chapter 22: A Heart-to-Heart Conversation in the Tavern
(Thank you for the monthly ticket support of 2018***772!Thank you, brother!)
Charlotte pushes open the tavern and finds that the newly renovated tavern is crowded with people. Even though it was not evening, not yet the peak of the tavern's business, the tavern was full of friends.
And to Charlotte's surprise, the guests inside were not the poor drinkers who couldn't even pay for the drinks in the past, they looked well-dressed, at least the gentry of Icewind Castle.
He subconsciously swept to the seat he used to use in the past, and saw that there were already six or seven people seated there, most of those drinkers Charlotte had some impressions, and one of them, a girl with bright yellow short hair, was extremely familiar. She was a disciple of Charlotte, and now Lolita, a high-level mage.
Charlotte walked quietly to the one, only to hear Lolita roll up her sleeves in an unladylike manner, her cute little face smirking her signature smug. A group of mages of different ranks surrounded her like a moon, and their words were full of beautiful words.
"Mage Lolita is so clever that she actually came up with the name of a shop like Pride of the North. Originally, this tavern was unknown, but I didn't expect that so many people would come here just by changing the name slightly and adding a line of small characters. ”
The mage's words made Charlotte suddenly realize, and then look at Lolita, at this time, the tail of the boozing girl was about to rise to the sky, and she snorted, "That's, you know, loud advertisements are the only way to attract customers!"
"Mage Lolita, dare you ask what the advertisement means?" another mage asked whimfully.
"The so-called advertising, as the name suggests, naturally means to advertise widely. The teacher once mentioned this word, and I firmly remembered that if you want to make money, you can't do without fame, and if you want fame to come quickly, you naturally have to advertise!"
"He really deserves to be the proud disciple of Grand Duke Charlotte!" a group of people admired, and one mage touted without limit, "That's it! Don't look at who our Lord Lolita is, not to mention his own talent, he is still one of the only two personal disciples of the Grand Duke." It is said that the Grand Duke is the mage of Icewind Castle's most promising achievement of the Root King for thousands of years, and it is estimated that in a few years, the position of the chief of Icewind Castle will be in the pocket of Lord Lolita. ”
"Well!" Lolita waved her hand, "Don't say that!, my family knows my own affairs, and Vivien's position as the chief of Icewind Castle in the future is more reliable!"
You're a little self-aware, but aren't you afraid of Dema's unpleasant face when you say that?
As soon as Charlotte thought of this, she heard Lolita say, "Well, I'll just be second!" hahahaha......
This guy is far more rampant than Charlotte imagined, even when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, Charlotte was not so rampant.
A group of mages who wanted to rely on Lolita praised each other, this one said, 'Where is it, or Lord Lolita has more hope of becoming the chief,' and the other said, 'Lord Lolita is really humble and polite', what a hell of a life! Charlotte really didn't know where they saw that Lolita was 'humble and polite'!
Charlotte also knew that even if the average mage joined the Mage Tower, the resources they received were very limited. For example, Charlotte has mastered and developed several secret spells over the years, what is the formation construction, memory processing, starry sky meditation, combat casting, spell extreme effect, spell power...... or unique spells like the Infinite Sword System and the Missile Storm, none of which can be taught to a mage other than the disciples who enter the room.
Therefore, for these mages, the only hope is to be recognized by Vivien and Lolita, even if there is a slight leakage of oil between their fingers, it will be enough for them to use for a lifetime.
This is the difference between ordinary mages and those with top masters, don't look at Vivian and Lolita are young, but ordinary seven-ring masters really can't really take them down.
Charlotte didn't mind Vivien and Lolita establishing their own power, and in fact, Sylvia didn't want him to build up her own power. It's just that at that time, Charlotte couldn't do anything about it at all, and devoted all her energy to the study of spells.
However, her tone is a little too loud, right?
Charlotte was secretly amused, and quietly approached Lolita and tapped her on the back of the head. The booze girl was suddenly struck, slammed the table, and shouted, "Who dares to slap my Lord Lolita's head!" When she looked back and saw that it was Charlotte, she was suddenly startled, revealing a flattering expression, "Ahh
"If I don't come, your cowhide will blow through the sky, right?" Charlotte nodded to the frightened mages, pulled up a chair and just sat down, and before she could tease Lolita, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open.
It was actually his other disciple, the intellectual beautiful girl mage Vivian. She seemed to have come to find Lolita, with obvious displeasure on her face, and as soon as she entered the door, she stared at the corner seat, and when she saw Charlotte, her delicate face turned from shock to sorrow, and she looked a little worried that Charlotte had become decadent again.
After noticing that Charlotte was conscious, her expression became soothing again. Walking to the table with the mage following behind her, Vivien saluted Charlotte one by one, and after greeting her, she glared at Lolita.
Don't think about it, it must be Lolita who skipped work again to make Vivien so angry.
When Lolita saw that the situation was not good, her eyes gurgled, and the wicked man complained first, "Huh, Vivian, have you done your work today?
Vivien was angry, "You still say, you are on strike there, how can I be running here!"
"Well, Vivien is so serious! You see that the teacher is so stressed every day, and he will occasionally come to the tavern to relax. In this way, in fact, we can relax once in a while, which can be regarded as a combination of work and rest, right?"
"There must be a limit to the combination of work and rest!"
Seeing that the two bigwigs were arguing in front of the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, Vivien and Lolita's mages used excuses to flee. By the time they were gone, Vivien's anger, which had been somewhat contained, was even more unscrupulous, and she looked extremely angry.
This is not that the two disciples are competing for favor in front of Charlotte, in fact, the two have been classmates for many years and have long been like sisters. The truth is that Lolita is too fucked, and like Charlotte as a child, she will only try to sneak up on her unless it's urgent.
Lolita knew that she was wrong, and she was defeated and forged again and again. Charlotte watched the play for a long time, waited for the drink he ordered to come up, and dealt with the nodding tavern owner before she opened her mouth to persuade her.
"Lolita, if you commit another offense, you will be punished for a while of drudgery. But today, I am very happy, teacher, so why don't we have two drinks together!"
"Teacher, I can't drink alcohol...... Vivien refused at first, but when she saw Charlotte's burning eyes, she couldn't help but look embarrassed, "Well, well, I'll only drink a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine......"
Lolita couldn't help but smile when she was amnesty. After eagerly adding wine to Charlotte and Vivian, the three masters and apprentices, who had been busy for a long time, began a long-lost heart-to-heart exchange in this small tavern.
