Chapter Eighty-Three: The Left Hand Gives the Right Hand

In the teacher's apartment, Dreis sat on the sofa with some restraint.

Cha Cha brought him a cup of fragrant tea.

The girl walked barefoot on the plush carpet, and one or two toes were exposed from time to time under the long royal blue skirt, full of grains, crystal like jade, and Deres couldn't take his eyes off it for a while.

Ahem...... Be reserved and gracious.

He had to remind himself to look elsewhere.

The girl's hair was long, and when she turned to leave, the long hair that hung down to her waist fell in the air for a moment, and Dres found a lock of gold and brown hair in the middle......

Seem...... Is the same with Captain Eugene?

It is said that this is a custom shared by the people of Felwood. Teacher Mu Yan, when did there be a Feywood person here?

While he was thinking, the main owner came out with the money.

"Twenty thousand gold coins, please put it away."

Mu Yan handed a card to Deres.

The latter took the card in disbelief.

It bears the stamp of Jialan's official bank, the "Gold Magic Coins". The translucent dark green card is held up, and the thick liquid that resembles mercury inside is completely calmed, and finally the liquid column scale is exactly at the second point.

This means that it contains no more than 20,000 gold coins.

Only...... It's as simple as that?

Deres always felt very unreal.

Is it right to pray to Mia every day?

was first rescued in the Baiyan Mine, and then rescued by the man in front of him when he was in crisis in the suburbs, and now he has obtained 20,000 gold coins from him......

Although not long ago, Shadow's footsteps were controlled by the blue-skinned dwarf, and he put shackles on a group of them...... But this incident has not appeared in his life for a long time, so far away that he almost forgot that there is such a thing in Jialan......

What the hell is going on here?

Could it really be Mia's blessing?

"Okay, let's go our separate ways, I have other things to do."

After saying that, Mu Yan was about to send off the guests.

"Wait, Teacher Mu Yan." Deres stopped him, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Is that the end of it? I don't have to pay anything else? Nor does it need to be confirmed...... Did I really solve the riddle? What if I got the answer from somewhere else? ”

"Well, since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy." Mu Yan turned around and smiled: "You don't need to explain anything to me, but your name and deeds will be published in the next issue, that is, tomorrow's newspaper, after all, I want to give you an explanation." ”

"What ???"

Deres's voice suddenly rose several degrees.

"But, but the puzzle is not my ...... solved"

"That's not what I'm supposed to care about, you come with the answer and that issue of the paper, and I'm going to give you the money. As for how to explain it, to whom to explain it, and whether they believe it or not...... That's all your business. Mu Yan had a completely businesslike tone, not caring about the friendship between the two at all.

Well...... The two don't seem to have much of a friendship other than having been to Sainsa Manor together - at least in Deres's opinion.

Deres really can't wait to go back in time and slap himself ten seconds ago, can this be called good luck?

It's a big problem, isn't it?

Since the last time he returned from the Baiyan Mine and inexplicably collected a large amount of money, he had an inexplicable fear of the flying wealth.

The money seemed to overdraft his future good fortune, making him targeted by the Hans family, and the old customers of the mercenary guild were strangers to him...... If you take this money again now, who knows how many people will be jealous? What bad luck will happen in the future? He could even foresee that he would become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of that group of nobles, such a high-profile thing was something he had never dared to think of before......

Even, this is no longer a matter of jealousy, those who know a little about him will know that he is not the material for guessing riddles at all, but why is he the only one who solves the riddle?

Is there a goddamn deal hidden behind this?

Hell, I'm afraid I won't be at peace in the future......

So, the money is too hot.

Deres took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart.

"Teacher Mu Yan, what is the treasure? I want to see the treasure. ”

"It doesn't make a difference, you inherit the treasure and you have to be in the newspaper." Mu Yan said, but still moved out of a large box.

He brushed the dust off it, revealing a vintage roserose arabesque.

Drés had been working on heraldry recently, and could barely make out that it was the family crest of the old man Mondrian, exactly the same as the one attached to the back of the poem.

Indeed, the treasure comes from the optimistic old man with a broken leg.

Mu Yan opened the box, except for the head ring placed on the top, the rest were thick materials, the parchment rolls had been embalmed, and each one was full of words, which looked very old.

Deres set the headband aside and carefully flipped through each parchment.

Soon, he found that he couldn't understand the content, and he didn't even know most of the text......

"This ...... What is it? ”

"I know a little bit about it, and I've probably read it." Mu Yan picked up the headband and put it on Deresi's head. "Anyway, now just sit back on the couch, close your eyes, and feel it with your heart."

Dreas complied, sat on the couch with his headband on, and quickly fell asleep.

But it didn't take long for his body to suddenly tense, and Mu Yan's eyes were quick to grab him with a mage's hand and take him into the air.

At the same time, Deres had an extra dagger in his hand, the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging, and beads of sweat were on his forehead, and it was clear that he was in the midst of a fierce battle.

Fortunately, Deres gradually fell into a light sleep, and his limbs did not make movements according to the dream, so his body only tensed, and it didn't take long for him to break away from the dream.

After taking off the head ring, the young man was pale and sweating profusely, as if he had just experienced a thrilling battle of life and death.

"This, what the hell is this...... What is it? ”

"Simply put, it's a prop that gets you into some kind of dream. It can be a place you've always dreamed of visiting, or it can be an unforgettable scene you've been there before. Old man Mondrian could not roam the land freely due to his health, so he made this thing and asked the bard and the painter to depict the magnificent scenery they had seen, so as to help him realize his dream of traveling the world. ”

"Then these materials ......"

"As you can see, it's all research on this thing." Mu Yan smiled.

Deres was dumbfounded.

He couldn't take it for a while, but he knew one thing very well.

If 20,000 gold coins are just golden eggs, then these are ...... It's a chicken that lays golden eggs!

In other words, the value has increased?

Should this be cried or laughed?

He couldn't laugh at all, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

"Teacher Mu Yan...... Is there any way I can keep my name out of the next issue of the paper? ”

"Yes, you go and change your name now, and we'll ditch 'Deres' and use your new name."

“……”

Deres rolled his eyes.

"Then I don't want it, okay?"

"No, then I also have to write in the newspaper 'The winning student Deres voluntarily gave up the jackpot', after all, I want to give an explanation to the majority of readers." Mu Yan repeated it again.

Deres didn't rush to refute this time, but calmed down and thought about it.

An explanation to the majority of readers...... How can I not explain?

In other words, how do you get others to agree with the result instead of feeling incredulous and skeptical......

Is it possible?

Impossible, right......

Man is always greedy, and he is very sure of that.

Even if the person who solves the puzzle is Professor Dawn, there will be people with red eyes who will jump out and accuse him of not being involved in the activities of young people - perhaps this is why Professor Dawn does not participate.

As for others, it is easier to attract criticism. If you think about it, the most suitable people to receive this treasure are Barry and Samuel, who don't care what most of the students in the academy think of them, and even feel that as pure nobles, they deserve to get the treasure......

It's ironic to say that in this regard, the real disadvantaged groups are so "bullying the weak and afraid of the hard".

So, the best solution now is to find a nobleman and pass on the trouble to him?

Reason tells Deres that this is the best solution, and he can even negotiate with him to make a deal that benefits him......

But he was not reconciled.

Very unwilling.

It seems that from that day's hearing, from the moment he first stood up in solidarity with Dreridge, he mentally distanced himself from this group of people forever.

He didn't want to be in contact with it anymore.

So......

Divide the reward among everyone else? To gag them?

Deres couldn't help but feel a pain in the flesh for his "generosity", but it was also a good idea.

Even, he didn't have to think about 20,000 gold coins, just give this chicken that can only lay golden eggs to the school!

And to be able to use this to establish a good relationship with Principal William, this is simply two birds dropped by one stone!

The more Deres thought about it, the more he felt witty.

"Mr. Mu Yan, I figured it out." He spoke, "I will accept this 'treasure' and donate it to the Academy. ”

"Ah...... I respect your choice. ”

Mu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally giving what was in my left hand to my right hand was a really difficult process.

He was worried about what this guy was up to, but now it seemed that Deres was a very good young man.

"Bang Bang"

He slapped the table twice, and a figure suddenly walked out of the kitchen.

It was an old man with gray hair, an apron tied around his waist, and an unpleasant expression on his face.

"What do you tell me to do? I'm talking to Mr. Ah Yin about cooking - ah, Deres, when did you come? Have dinner together? ”

Deres was dumbfounded.

"Headmaster Whisker William?"
