Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info followed Elena, Leo finally didn't make a fool of himself again, and he secretly slandered himself in his heart, and he had seen a lot of beauties on the earth, and he fell in love a few times, but he was careless, but he threw people into the Middle Ages, and he was also a different world......

Fortunately, after meeting Professor Pericles under the leadership of Elena, Leo has a lot of psychological balance, what is the saying? It's very simple to make people feel better, just lead him to see more down-and-out people

Unlike Leo, Professor Pericles Setopia was completely unaccustomed to such an occasion, and unlike the noisy aristocrats who roamed around, he was like grit in food, and seemed a little out of place in the environment

Seeing his favorite student lead the famous and richly dressed nobleman over, Professor Pericles' impatient, dazed face brought some joy, and as a result, he stood up in a hurry, and in his panic he almost knocked over the wine glass on the table......

With a hint of struggle flashing on his face, Professor Pericles finally touched his chest with one hand and bowed deeply to Leo respectfully, the past setbacks made him not want to lose this opportunity again, and also made him understand that arrogance could not bring any investment

"Hello, it's a great honor to meet your esteemed lord, I'm Pericles Setopia, a professor at the Imperial University, mainly responsible for education and research in history, I ......"

Leo's unfamiliar face made him not know how to speak later, so he had to look at Elena for help

While Professor Pericles was speaking, Leo was also carefully looking at the person in front of him, about 40 years old, probably because of research and life constraints, the professor looked older than his actual age

The combed hair is still a little messy, and there is still some stubble left in the bar, which should be unkempt in normal times, and I don't know how to take care of my appearance

The dress on the body seems to be a big road product purchased directly, enough to make the envy of civilians in fabrics and styles, but it looks a little inferior and ridiculous in this environment

However, the professor's body and complexion still look good, and he should have had regular exercise or field research experience

Nodding slightly, Leo didn't want to embarrass his tempting girl, and without waiting for Elena to speak, he bowed slightly and took the initiative to speak

"Mr. Professor, please don't be nervous, I am very good friends with your student Miss Elena, I am Leo, a nobleman from the Northern Realm, you can call me Your Excellency or Sir"

Stretching out his hand and making a gesture of invitation, Leo took the lead in sitting on the sofa, with his current status, even if he wants to recruit someone, he doesn't have to be too polite, too much diligence will make the other party doubt his status and ability, don't be surprised, this is the case

Looking at the comparison between the helpless teacher and Leo, Elena sighed secretly and whispered in Professor Pericles' ear

"My respected teacher, as long as you can show a little bit of your intellectual confidence in communication, you can already become a celebrity in the social circle of the imperial capital by now......"

After hesitating, Elena was afraid that the professor would miss the opportunity again, so she added one last sentence

"Your Excellency Leo is the identity of the Grand Duke, this time I came to the imperial capital to pass the approval of the House of Lords and His Majesty, if nothing goes wrong, a new principality will appear in the northern domain of the empire, and that's all I can help you."

"Hum" Elena's last words made Professor Pericles' brain dizzy, and he knew that since the last duchy was abolished by the previous emperor due to rebellion, there had been no new duchies in the empire for nearly 50 years

And the seemingly friendly young man in front of him turned out to be a grand duke who could build his own country......

Elena, who didn't know that her words had an adverse effect on the professor, pressed the professor, who was trembling with joy at this time, on the sofa, and then sat down and showed off to Leo

"Lord Leo, I am sure that my beloved teacher's knowledge will not disappoint you, please do not forget your promise to me, if the teacher's knowledge can meet your requirements, you must provide him with the greatest help"

"Of course, honesty is a virtue that we must have as nobles, well, Miss Elena, you can call me Leo, it's too rusty to call me an adult, if you don't object, I can call you by your first name......"

"Okay, Leo," Elena whispered in a sweet voice, and then blushed a little and stopped talking

Funny to see a little cute girl in front of him, Leo shook his head and put aside his reverie, after all, this is not a suitable environment to please and pursue girls, and he turned his attention to the professor next to him

"Alright, Professor, don't be so nervous, I believe in Elena's admiration for you, can you please tell me now what I will get in return if I fund you?"

Subconsciously raising his arm, then lowering it again, Professor Pericles stammered

"Hold... I'm sorry Your Excellency, I didn't before... I didn't know you still had such a noble status, I ......" The professor, who couldn't say any more, grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp, and then regained some composure

"As you know, I have a deep knowledge of the history of the continent, the history of the nobility, and heraldry, and I am also well versed in mathematics, geography, religion, and natural subjects, and I ...... I also have some research in art and poetry......"

"God......" Elena couldn't help but cover her face, she really didn't understand why the funny and confident professor in the classroom was like this whenever he was in a social situation...... It's so embarrassing

After listening to the professor politely and patiently, Leo was like an interview examiner on the earth in his previous life, leaning back against the sofa and tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, thinking for a while before speaking calmly

"Mr. Professor, I am amazed by the breadth of your knowledge and disciplines, but you must know that I am a nobleman, and nobles always pay attention to returns, and all I want to know is ...... Well, let's put it this way, what will I get with the gold I put in? And not what it will bring to the empire, I say so, do you understand what I mean? ”

A complicated expression flashed over Professor Pericles' face, and he found with some sadness that he didn't know when it began, and interests could also be linked to knowledge, the nobles became stingy, and the scholars became dirty, didn't they all know that these were for the progress of the whole human race?

Leo should be grateful for the frustration he had for the professor and that had finally made him change! After thinking about it, Professor Pericles spoke with some frustration

"I'm sorry Your Excellency, I really don't know what I can get in return for you, but I really need your support urgently, I ...... Alas, please say what you want......"

Some clever answers finally made Leo sigh to himself, he was also afraid of giving too much pressure to let the professor walk away, after all, the Marquis of Auston still remembered what he had to say

"If you come and ask me, dear professor, I have only one request, and that is that I would like to formally invite you to be the chief advisor to me, the owner of Stormwind and the owner of the future Northern Empire Duchy......"

"Ahh

Exclamations erupted from both the professor's and Elena's mouths at the same time, causing a brief blank in both of their brains

"And if you can agree to my invitation, I can swear by my honor that there is no cap on the research funding you need, and I can provide it in full as long as it is reasonable."

Leo's confident and powerful words made the professor tremble with excitement: "You mean...... Does that mean I have access to endless funds if I need them? ”

"Reasonable, yes," Leo said in a reasonable tone, knowing that the madmen who studied science in his previous life still didn't dare to talk too much

"God, that's enough, God, why, why didn't you appear in front of me earlier, otherwise a lot of my research wouldn't have been interrupted, woo woo~"

After hearing Leo's reconfirmation, the professor, who was over forty years old, cried in public like a child, and Elena next to him could only gently comfort the teacher who was crying with joy, and was deeply happy for him

After a moment of venting, Pericles stood up and solemnly bowed to Leo again

"I, Pericles Setopia, formally accept your invitation to do my best to help Lord Leo as my chief advisor and staff, and to recognize all the rights that Lord Leo has!"

"Welcome, my friend, you will not be disappointed in this allegiance, Stormwind has enough wealth and convenience to offer you"

patted the professor on the shoulder, Leo was also very pleased, not to mention the great help that the professor could bring, even if he saved the professor's life, it was enough to make him happy

Otherwise, according to the professor's brains and various researches, he may be burned alive by the madmen of the church if he puts forward some reasoning and hypotheses one day......

In a good mood, Leo couldn't help but make a joke, pointing to the professor's dress and laughing

"My dear Chief Counsel, next time remember to tear off the logo on the dress......"
