66. The next day's holiday
After listening to Desgar's story, Bai Yi first asked, "Didn't those people think about taking this magic circle for themselves?" The magic circle inherited from the ancient Rosser era, many people will offer a beautiful price for it, right? ”
"It's useless." Desgaard shook his head, with a somewhat mocking look on his face, "My father is the last member of the family to master this magic circle, he said that he would not give it to them, and they will not learn it, they have focused their life's energy on power and interests, forgetting their beliefs and missions, and becoming no different from ordinary merchant families, so there has never been any genius and strong man, I think this may also be some kind of protection from the ancestors and grandfathers, right?" ”
"That's just as well." Bai Yi nodded lightly, the essence of the magic circle lies in the flow and interaction of magic inside, including the timing of injecting magic power, the size of the amount, etc., are very important, especially this kind of large magic circle, it is by no means as simple as a few patterns on the surface, it is not useful to draw a picture as it is.
But the more crucial point is that this circle has no practical meaning, summoning a soul from 6,000 years ago? Summoning an ancestor of the family? How could the current rulers do such stupid things? That's why Tesgar is the kind of fools who put their mission first, right? So it's not about shelter or anything, it's just about people's hearts and positions.
"Speaking of which, you said before that your father was the last person to master the circle?" Bai Yi suddenly remembered another question.
"Yes, my father died in an accident before he could teach me. That's why I have to stay here all the time, it's very uncomfortable to live in such a big house alone, and I have long wanted to sell it to alleviate the situation, and now this magic circle is barely sustained by the income of two alchemy workshops that are loyal to me. It was also thanks to Miss Wendini of the Dowler family that their purchase price was the fairest, so they were able to hold on for so long. Desgaard replied, but at the mention of Wentini she smiled again, and continued:
"Speaking of which, Sister Wentini is really a kind and good person, she used to be a senior sister of the Rose Class who was three grades higher than me, and she took care of me quite a lot in the academy, and she has taken care of me until now, and even now this nightdress is still given to me by her... Ah, she's so good-looking, I want to be like her! ”
Ahem, you'd better not be like her... Bai couldn't help but think of the things he had done to Wendini, and suddenly thought of it with some embarrassment, but then again, Wentini's little girl is not a few years older than Desgar, so she has to shoulder all the hope of family revival? I think the reason why the two are so good is probably because of their similar burdens, right?
Thinking of this, Bai Yi couldn't help but ask, "Desgar, if I don't show up today?" Will you continue to do so in the future? I hope you can answer my true thoughts truthfully, and I won't blame you. ”
This question made Desgaard think for a while, and the expression on his face changed from confused and tangled to firm and determined, nodded vigorously, and said: "I will continue to guard this promise and this circle, and in the future, I will also find an honest man who fits my eyes, trick him into our family, and then teach my children like my father taught me, and continue to pass on this promise to the next generation!" ”
As she spoke, she seemed to remember the wayward words she said when she was depressed before, and she was a little embarrassed to reluctantly explain: "The words of renunciation that I said in the restaurant before... It's just that I wasn't in a good mood at the time..."
As she spoke, Bai Yi kept carefully observing her eyes, and there was a sincere look that made him believe that what Desgaard said was from the bottom of her heart, and that she had not lied to him.
You know, he has the expertise of a trickster, how could a girl of Desgar's age fool him? Therefore, he also accepted Tesgar's statement, and also understood her previous mentality, she was still so young, and it was not easy for her to take on the burden of inheriting the family's mission for six thousand years.
As for marrying someone or something, since he has become Bai Yi's student now, don't think about marrying out easily.
"Then I have one last question, Desgar, do you hate them? Hate those who don't understand that you don't support you? Bai Yi finally asked.
Desgaard shook her head and said, "I just hate them. My father also taught me more than once not to hate my own people. ”
This answer made Bai Yi very satisfied, so he nodded and said: "That's good, hatred is such a thing, it is easy to blind a person's eyes, so that he can't see the path of true seeking strength, and a person with hatred in his heart can't become a real strong person." So I'm very satisfied with your answer, okay, it's not too early, let's go and rest. ”
Desgar nodded, and quickly got up and bowed respectfully to Bai Yi, still using the standard posture of Master Rosser's hands crossed over his shoulders, not caring about the beautiful scenery on his chest.
After she left, Bai Yicai asked the walkers who had been watching in the void, "How is it?" This new student. ”
"The talent is very good, the speed of progress should be faster than Xiao Miya, and she is also a good sister who can take care of the little one, she is trustworthy, she is beautiful, she is really good, but... Did her parents really die in an accident, as she said? The scholar was the first to express his opinion, and then raised a question that Bai had thought about before.
"I've thought about this before, but if she doesn't plan to delve into it herself, we don't need to dig into it." Bai Yi replied decisively, not intending to dwell on this meaningless question.
"Desgaard is good in every way, but I have another concern." An apprentice professional education practitioner said, "She seems too busy? While attending classes, he had to maintain the house and the complex magic circle inside, and he also had to manage the operation of two alchemy workshops, so he was too busy to find Xiao Miya. ”
"Now that she has me, she won't be so busy." Bai Yi said, and then sighed: "But there are obviously two alchemy workshops, but they are still living so hard, the consumption of this magic circle is really exaggerated... This makes me think, if the cost of that magic array was not so large, I am afraid that their family will not be divided due to uneven distribution, and this promise can last longer; But if it weren't for the Ancestral Soul Armor brought by that magic array, I'm afraid the oath would have been forgotten long ago... Some things are such contradictions! ”
"That's because the alchemy workshop is in the hands of these mortals!" At the mention of the word alchemy, the alchemist walker jumped out, "If I am allowed to run the business, it will not be difficult for her to surpass the junior of the merchant family, so I hope Your Excellency, can you intervene?" ”
"Well... There's no rush yet. Bai Yi thought about it for a while and then replied, "It's not appropriate to meddle in the student's industry after all, let's wait until I tell her more about our situation." ”
"How much are you going to tell her about us?" The lord walker asked.
"I'll be careful and won't reveal too much." Bai Yi replied, "It's not that I don't trust her, it's that I don't want her to be too involved with us." ”
Considering the public image of the Voidwalker, Bai Yi's choice is actually to protect Desgar.
"Alright, okay, let's stop your boring and meaningless discussions, let's get down to business!" At this moment, a voice in the void began to try to guide the conversation, "You say, little Mia, Desgar, Wentiny, who of the three little ones is cuter?" ”
Who caused such a boring topic? Bai Yi hurriedly talked about his consciousness, it was actually His Excellency the Assassin of the Seventh Walker? Why don't you see that you also have a tendency to join the Gentlemen's League?
"It must be that little Mia is cuter! Although she is currently inferior to her two sisters in terms of appearance and figure, she has a lot of room for development! ”
"I think there's a lot of room for Desgaard's development, right? Such a rare loyal dog attribute,All kinds of shameful play can also be played, right? Why don't you try to make her change into a maid outfit? Or can you start with a cat ear hairpin first? ”
"How is this level enough? Obviously we should beep, and then try beep, and beep..."
"Little Mia is lovely and gentle, Tesgar is loyal and reliable, they are all valuable attributes, and Wentini's words are very beautiful, hmm... It's hard to choose, huh? But at least when it comes to stockings, I'm more inclined to Wentini's black silk pie! Coupled with the hidden attribute that my colleague's daughter cherishes very much, it doesn't seem that it can't be considered? ”
What the hell is a colleague's daughter? Is there such a ghost setting? And what are you beeping out there for? What are you saying to be silenced? Bai Yi did not hesitate to ban all these gentlemen, and sure enough, it was a fundamental mistake to allow them to discuss this topic!
In short, it was so noisy, Bai Yi ushered in the early morning of the next day, and the three of them did not leave the big house on the second day of the holiday, but after Mia helped Tesgar clean the house, the two entered the magic tutoring class mode? And by the way, pass on some experience in the ring?
This little guy seems to be really interested, but you don't ask for advice with such a big master here, why are you running to find Desgaard! Bai Yi looked at the two sisters who were enjoying it, and thought of it a little unwillingly, but he didn't stop it, sometimes the mutual help and learning between peers was better than the effect of his conservative teacher.
