240. You say yes, that's it (two more 8K words completed)
To be honest, Gallo himself didn't expect such a comical scene...
He coughed twice, pointed to the 'sandwich', and explained:
"This is my arrangement with the maximum energy saving and longevity in mind, when the enemy is not detected to be strong, or the hostility is not enough, the enchantment will only run at 10% of its effectiveness..."
"Considering that most of these enemies are petty thieves, I slightly adjusted the function of the enchantment and made this 'mousetrap'"
After briefly introducing the situation here, he pointed to the young mage who was still lying on the ground in the distance and said:
"As for his situation, I don't know, he's outside the barrier, so it won't affect him..."
As he spoke, everyone suddenly heard the young mage let out a pig-killing scream.
"Ah!!!!h
"You don't have long eyes?!"
It turned out that a pedestrian was walking in a hurry and accidentally stepped on his fingers...
"Ahem, maybe he's looking for something to throw away?"
Gallo continued, pointing to his head, suggesting that the other had lost his brain.
"As you all know, mages have always compared that and that..."
The young mage searched for the ground for a long time, and the beautiful clothes wiped almost the entire ground around him before he slowly stood up.
He carefully put away the handkerchief with the shards of glass and looked over the door.
The Assassin had been released by Lady Carola, and he was huddled in the corner of the door, shivering, apparently suffering considerable psychological trauma.
The young mage and the warrior were unkempt and dirty, with blood and bruises on the backs of their hands, and those who didn't know thought they were refugees on the run.
As for the scholars who witnessed the embarrassment of their companions, they looked at each other, and really didn't know what to say.
Didn't you say that it was just a simple assessment?
Haven't you already debunked that kid's deception?
Why are we so embarrassed?
Fortunately, the servants in the villa quickly brought hot water and towels so that the young mage would not be embarrassed forever.
But his chest still rose and fell rapidly, and he stared at Gallo viciously, as if his eyes were about to erupt with fire.
Although the reason in his heart told him that his embarrassment had nothing to do with Gallo, and he should not be angry with others.
But if you hold back the fire in your belly, you have to vent, right?
What's more, the two sides are commercial competitors in the first place, and for the right to speak in a new field, you must be the kind that lives and dies.
So whether Gallo wants it or not, he has been upgraded to a thorn in the other party's side, and he is like an old enemy!
So he walked up to Gallo in a few steps and whispered in his ear:
"You're just an illegitimate child, how dare you make me so embarrassed and disgraced?! I swear to kill you, and the family behind you! ”
"I want you and your parents, and all the people close to you, to kneel in front of me and watch me play with your little maid..."
"Then, your woman will become my plaything, and you and your family will be sold to the mines, where you will eventually die under the foreman's whip!"
"I want you to understand what will happen if you offend our Enlais family!"
Annoyed and angry, he couldn't wait to send a vicious declaration of war to Gallo!
Of course, he didn't really rush to kill them like this, and the main reason for letting out these cruel words was to provoke Gallo, force him to throw gloves in his face, issue an invitation to a duel, or directly commit a rough attack.
In this way, he has every reason to teach Gallo a lesson first, and then let the huge family behind him come out and crush this damn bastard to death!
Judging from the bastards of the nobility he had come into contact with on a daily basis, they were on the surface irritable and violent, but in fact they were weak and incompetent, cowardly and deceitful, and they would definitely not be able to stand such stimulation and fall into their own trap.
And the family behind them will not make a big deal for an illegitimate child, so although their words are ugly, they will not cause any big trouble.
What's more, there are really not many families and forces in this empire that can bring them trouble.
So don't look at him acting so impulsively, but it's actually a subtle trap against Gallo.
After all, it is the people of the Enlais family, even if they want to teach others, they don't disdain those simple and crude methods.
But the other party's reaction was somewhat unexpected to him.
Gallo glanced up at the sky, then took a deep breath, then touched the necklace on his chest, and whispered a few more words, as if reciting some kind of teaching?
Then he looked up, smiled kindly, and replied:
"Yes, yes, you're right."
The young mage couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of strange reaction was this? When the other party heard such cruel words, he was more polite to himself?
I'm a little embarrassed...
"Are you scared silly?"
The young mage couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, yes, you say yes."
Gallo nodded repeatedly, still with that gentle smile on his face, looking submissive.
But the young mage vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that the other party's smile and eyes were a little strange...
That look, as if looking at a dead man...
But when he looked closely, he felt that it was an illusion, and the other party was already that submissive, in line with the temperament that an illegitimate child should have.
Seems to have been intimidated by our family's name...
I can't imagine that just a name can bluff him like this, what a spineless guy, no wonder he can only be an illegitimate child.
Seeing that Gallo had succumbed, the young mage felt much more relieved, and then remembered that the assessment was not over yet, and the employer was still waiting for his reply.
So he hurriedly brushed his messy clothes and said loudly:
"I'm sorry everyone, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the assessment was paused for a while, now let's continue..."
As he spoke, he felt someone tugging at his sleeve, and when he looked back, it was one of his scholars.
The man whispered a few words in his ear.
The young mage's face suddenly changed quite wonderfully, first in confusion, then in shock, then in confusion, and finally in confusion.
"How is this possible? Are you serious? ”
He asked in a low voice.
Previously, the scholar had only told him three pieces of information.
One is that the other party's enchantment is genuine, and they can only realize it when it is activated once just now.
The second is that the level of this set of enchantments is beyond the comprehension of all of them, and there are many things that they can't understand at all, and they can't even understand the most basic operating principles...
This means that the Barrier Arranger is more accomplished than they combined!
The third is that if the design of this set of enchantments is made public, it will cause an earthquake in the academic world, and many of the inherent enchantment systems will be severely impacted, or even fragmented, and swept into the garbage heap of history.
Finally, the scholar said with great seriousness:
"To sum up, we are not qualified to evaluate this enchantment at all, we are like a rookie in front of it."
"We can remain silent but not lie, which is against the limits of a scholar."
A little helplessness and unwillingness flashed on the young mage's face, and he forcibly calmed down his mood and asked in a low voice:
"Do you have any specific suggestions for that matter?"
The scholar thought for a moment and replied:
"We suggest that young master, you'd better terminate the assessment, and don't bring shame on yourself..."
"Or, simply admit the subtlety and extraordinaryness of this set of enchantments, and even hype it up, using all kinds of means to help the other party build momentum."
"This can not only repair the unpleasant relationship just now, but also make the reputation of our assessment team higher, and also retain the possibility of future cooperation, which is the best of both worlds."
The young mage was stunned, and his face became extremely embarrassed.
He knew it was the right thing to do, and it was perfect.
However, it was too late...
The cruel words released by himself in anger have blocked the possibility of a win-win situation for both sides.
I can only find a way to remedy it!
He came up with the perfect remedy in his head.
What he offended was just an illegitimate child, and this set of enchantments could not be his handiwork, but could only be the arrangement of the family behind him.
In this case, arrange an accident to make this guy who caused unpleasantness on both sides disappear, and then go back to ask Mrs. Carola about the family behind him, and take the initiative to hand over an olive branch...
Isn't the problem perfectly solved?
After the young mage thought through the joints, he suddenly returned to his usual condition, and began to talk again:
"Just now, I exchanged opinions with several masters..."
"They admit that they made a small mistake before, and instead of being a hoax, this enchantment is a clever design! It's a work of art in the enchantment! ”
"Allow me, with great reverence, to pay the highest tribute to its designer, who is not only a master of enchantment, but also an elegant artist and aesthete..."
"It's an honor for me and my team to be able to evaluate this set of enchantments..."
He searched all the rhetoric in his stomach, like a licking dog who had given up his dignity, blowing wildly and embarrassingly, and doing his best to set up his ability.
He believes that the more he blows, the happier the other party will be when he knows about it, and the more he will recognize his assessment team.
At the same time, there is also a bit of weakness after releasing cruel words.
Even Lady Carola felt a little disgusted, she had met a lot of young people who didn't want to work hard, but none of them could blow this guy...
And the group of people from the Supreme True God Sect who were hiding on the first floor to watch the excitement were so disgusted by him that they couldn't stop laughing.
Only Gallo himself didn't say anything, he stood silently, bowing his head and playing with his fingers, not listening to what the other party said at all.
Why listen to dead people's nonsense?
Amiya was the same, standing behind Gallo with a blank face, probably seeing that he was a little bored playing with his fingers, so she took the initiative to put her little hand into his hand for him to enjoy.
It wasn't until the scholars couldn't listen anymore and went up to dissuade them that the young mage stopped.
In the end, the evaluation was successful, and Gallo's enchantment received supreme praise and was expected to make the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers.
Even the title is designed:
"Karl the Invoker's enchantment is excellent, but he is only second in the entire academic world..."
The young mage declined the invitation to lunch and hurriedly left with the others, he had to find someone to fix the telescope, and arrange a perfect accident for Gallo...
He knows a friend who is good at this...
At the lunch table, Lady Carola explained to Gallo with an embarrassed expression:
"I'm really sorry, he's the child of one of my important clients, I really didn't think he would be such a person..."
"It's not that I don't believe in your standards, it's just that the customer bought my goods at a high price, so it makes sense to give the young man a chance."
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to apologize, mages are like this, and I won't bother with him."
Gallo waved his hand indifferently and said generously.
"That's the best, you are really the best young man I have ever met, with a big heart and a generous heart."
"Is my chef not to your liking, though?"
Lady Carola asked suspiciously, looking at the plate in front of Gallo, which had barely touched.
"No... Actually, he has too much appetite with me. ”
Gallo laughed and said that he had eaten too many pastries and fruits...
Lady Carola laughed too, and then instructed the maid to have the kitchen prepare some more snacks that Gallo liked, and let him pack them when the time came.
As he was talking, there was a sudden exclamation from Gallo next to him:
"Amiya? You... What do you want to do?! ”
"Don't come! I really can't eat it! ”
He held the fork and gestured twice at Amiya, not allowing her to come and feed her.
Amiya, who suddenly became particularly active, gave Gallo a great headache...
That mage was a trivial nuisance in comparison.
After lunch, Gallo returned to the sect in a donkey cart with a check from Lady Carola.
He was paid 20,000 gold by Lady Carola's side, which was double the 10,000 he had said before...
In addition to the 10,000 gold agreed at the beginning, there is also the remaining budget for purchasing materials, as well as the reward for helping to solve the kidnapping incident last time, plus the bonus for passing the assessment at the end.
There was also some guilt and apologies from Lady Carola, as well as assurances of future friendship.
I can only say that if I can know a rich woman, I can really struggle for many years...
And Gallo, who was bulging in his pocket, his mind was also a little drifting, and he remembered the luxury auction the day after tomorrow.
He remembered that there would be a lot of beautiful women's jewelry for sale.
Just go and buy a new bracelet for Silly, I promised her before...
However, there are two places for the invitation to the auction, who will bring the other one?
Gallo pondered this very scumbag question, and seemed to have no notice at all that there were two sneaky figures who had been secretly following behind his donkey cart.
