Chapter 202: Choose, Caiyue Pleiades
Regarding Firut's bold words, Lin Ling naturally didn't care at all. On the one hand, Firut's desire did not conflict with his goals, and on the other hand, it was because Lin Ling was not optimistic about Filut at all.
It is true that in terms of identity, Firut can now be said to be second only to him among the dragon witches, and if it is changed to a country with a strong royal family, it will be a step to the sky.
However, who let the royal family of the Lugnica Kingdom have already become a mascot-level existence at the time of the first king, even Lin Ling, the prince with the most orthodox bloodline, has to use various means to get the support of other nobles if he wants to get the support of other nobles, or prove his ability, or use his weakness to threaten, or lure him with profit, which secretly gathers some of his authority. And because of the fledgling fear of causing the sages to be jealous, Lin Ling can't even interfere too much in the political [harmonious] governance on the bright side now, so he can only lay out slowly and wait for the force to be exerted one day.
And what does Firut have? If in the original book, she still has the support of Reinharut and is undefeated in terms of combat effectiveness, now that she has no Sword Master as the first knight, there is really nothing left except for the royal bloodline.
And the royal bloodline and the identity of the dragon witch are also good bargaining chips, and the value as a chess piece is not low, but with Firut's IQ...... It's not that Lin Ling discriminates against her, but in the royal capital where there are old cowards everywhere, once Filut's little cleverness breaks away from his protective circle and goes alone, it is basically the life of being squeezed out of the surplus value by the old cowards and then thrown away.
If you want to wave your hand, you can vote from all directions, become a dragon witch and overthrow the nobles...... Wash and sleep, you have everything in your dreams.
Of course, if Lin Ling was willing to support Firut, she still had the hope of becoming a dragon witch. It's a pity that Lin Ling was optimistic that the Dragon Witch was Kuruxiu from the beginning, and he wouldn't be able to support Kuruxiu, who had the ability, vision, and skill to be ruthless, and ran to support Firut.
It can be said that after losing the support of the Sword Master, Firut has already lost in this competition of the Dragon Witch, and even Emilia has a greater advantage than her - the latter still has the support of the Border Count [although ill-intentioned], and his own strength is strong enough, and he also has the favor of the will of the world.
So for Firut, Lin Ling's attitude from the beginning was that if she could bring it, she would bring it, and if she couldn't bring it, let her be a mascot + bait temporarily, although she couldn't become a dragon witch, but at least there was no problem with safety, and she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.
And not long after Firut let go of his rhetoric, the diners also arrived, because the banquet was not particularly formal, and everyone ate unrestrainedly. During this period, Kuruxiu also informed everyone about the investigation of the Witch Cult in the royal capital today - the Knights of the Guards did not find any trace of the Witch Cult in the royal capital.
This naturally made Caiyue Pleiades, who was originally convinced of his prophetic dream, doubt his life, but he didn't know how to activate his "golden finger" again to see if the prophetic dream was really inaccurate.
But in any case, it is a good thing that Wang Du has not found any traces of the Witch Sect. As there was nothing else to do, the group rested at the Kalustan Mansion after eating, and since it was getting late.
The next day, in the morningβ
"It seems that Lord Emilia had a lot of fun yesterday~" The upward tone was as rippling as ever, and Rozval, who came to pick up Emilia back, said this, and bowed slightly to Lin Ling next to him, and said, "Yesterday, Lord Emilia bothered His Royal Highness Zoran to take care of her, thank you very much." β
"It's just what I'm supposed to do." Lin Ling smiled when he heard this, and said to Emilia, "Then goodbye, Amilia, be careful all the way." β
As a dragon witch recommended by the Earl of the Border, Emilia naturally will not stay in the royal capital for a long time, after all, she is not like Kurusheu, and her base camp is in the royal capital.
"Well, goodbye, Zoran! You have to take care of yourself too......" Emilia smiled a little reluctantly, although they had only been together for a day, Emilia had undoubtedly regarded Lin Ling as a friend.
"I will......" Lin Ling nodded.
Emilia, who had been assured, turned around and got into the dragon car, and Rozval bent slightly to Lin Ling again, and said, "Your Highness, then I will retire first, and I am very much looking forward to meeting you next time." After saying this, Rozval then glanced at Caiyue Pleiades next to him, but didn't say anything, just turned around and got into the dragon car.
Then, the dragon cart carrying the two of them drove away.
"I said Zolan, you nobles are so individual?" Caiyue Pleiades, who had a strange expression since she saw Rozval, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it can only be said that some nobles do have some special quirks." Lin Ling replied, he then looked back at Caiyue Pleiades, who didn't feel Emilia's departure at all, and sighed again, "I'm afraid this cp is not really cold", and he didn't specifically remind anything.
After all, he doesn't have a hobby of being a matchmaker, and since Caiyue and Emilia don't have feelings for each other, why bother to force CP.
"That's right......" Caiyue Yue, who watched the dragon car leave, suddenly thought of something, and asked expectantly: "Didn't you say that you were going to introduce me to a job?" What kind of work is it? β
Lin Ling's expression became more serious when he heard this, he restrained his smile and asked, "Little brother Pleiades, do you think you can endure hardship?" β
"Hmm...... Yes! Caiyue nodded hesitantly.
"There are two kinds of jobs I can provide you...... Lin Ling said, stretched out a finger, and said, "The first is a male servant, I can arrange for you to work in the palace or the Astrea's mansion, or recommend you to work in the Kalustan mansion, starting from the most ordinary servant." Although it may be hard at first, the income will not be low, and there is no worry about eating and drinking, and there is also the possibility of being promoted to a higher servant after a year or two of work. Of course, you can also learn other skills while working as a servant, and you can always leave if you have a better job in the future......"
"The second ...... From today onwards, I will arrange for someone to teach you, teach you relevant knowledge, and train you how to fight. Speaking of this, Lin Ling paused and said, "After you finish your training, I can recommend you to join the Knights of the Guards according to your wishes, or find you a position, but in return, you need to be absolutely loyal to me for three years after completing your training." β
"So, what about your choice?"
Caiyue was silent, obviously the options Lin Ling offered him were a bit beyond his expectations. After a full minute of silence, he exhaled, "Is it possible to live a stable life or give three years of life in exchange for becoming a master...... You're even more cunning than I thought, little ghost! β
He suddenly stretched, and said with a full face: "Then don't you need to say, of course it's the second one!" β
