Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Prestige of the Majesty
"I'm so sorry, Grand Duke!"
Ye Qi looked at the female archduke apologetically and said sincerely.
For him, who plays the role of an advisor, it is inevitable to give his Grand Duke a lesson, but as a teacher, he is distracted at a critical moment, which is obviously out of place.
However, Ye Qi is also quite helpless for such a distraction.
First of all, there are so many problems he faces in this era, and there are too many things to think about.
Secondly, it was the exact same face and fluctuation of the female grand duke and the female cavalry chief, which made him always unconsciously relax his due vigilance.
Even Ye Qi, when facing his wife, he will show his truest side.
If the female archduke is the female cavalry commander, there is naturally no problem, on the contrary, the female cavalry commander will be very tolerant of her husband.
Now, however, it is the Grand Duke, not the Captain of the Cavalry.
Therefore, it is very natural that there are some helpless situations for Ye Qi.
"She's Lily. Pendragon, not Else! ”
Ye Qi, who reminded himself again in his heart, looked at the female archduke, and then explained some knowledge about alchemy again.
That's right, it's alchemy!
Spells from the system are undoubtedly impossible to use as a way to teach—this kind of way that he doesn't understand, Ye Qi can't teach others.
As for the Mongols?
Not to mention the appearance and fluctuations that are exactly the same as the female cavalry chief, so that he can't deceive at all.
Even if it's deception......
An apprentice who already has a good foundation in wizarding is obviously not so easy to fool. Not to mention. The cleverness of the Grand Duke. It is enough for Ye Qi to understand what kind of sad fate it will be if he chooses to deceive.
So, he chose alchemy.
Unlike the spells that can be used directly, the [Alchemy] and [Mysterious Knowledge] as skills, Ye Qi is to apply what he has learned.
And, given the effect of the potions he made, the Grand Duke was not averse to learning alchemy. Especially when Ye Qi told about the special views on alchemy in one or two free years, the direction of the female archduke's study was completely decided.
"It's almost time!"
Although she is studying, the archduke is still paying attention to the hourglass beside her.
It was an hour-long nailed hourglass—like the other advisors to the Grand Duke and the Grand Duke's heir, Ye Qi would spare about three to four hours a week to lecture to the Grand Duke.
And this hourglass is the time limit line for class.
"Next time, I'll need a secondary healing potion you've concocted!"
Ye Qi used the tone of being a tutor to arrange the 'results' that will be needed for the next class - every class needs to learn, and no learning can be separated from practice.
In other words, practice is the real learning.
Any empty talk, for yourself. It's just a frothy flight – eventually shattering, and the remaining water stains will quickly fade in the sun.
And undoubtedly as the Grand Duke of the Snowy Night. Lily was quite aware of this, so the Grand Duchess replied with extra seriousness -
"Yes, Master Joe!"
The grand duchess nodded and said very solemnly.
"Well, we'll see you in two days!"
Ye Qi said with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to seeing you next time!"
The Grand Duchess smiled the same way.
After that, the two of them were as they had been after the last class - there was not much greeting or politeness, neither Ye Qi nor the female archduke were the ones who needed to do that.
Of course, either of the two is quite short of time.
Especially for the female archduke, for people who need to calculate the time for sleep, afternoon tea and leisure chats are luxuries, which have always been out of life options.
Bell, bell, bell!
After Ye Qi was left in the wizard tower again, Ye Qi sat down in his chair again, his fingers tapping on the armrest of the chair.
"The upper echelons of the wizards should have already started to fight back, so it should be ......"
Ye Qi thought quietly.
As for what to determine the counterattack of the wizard emperors?
On the bridge on the other side that spanned the entire Sky Void, the fluctuations that shuttled back and forth were enough for Ye Qi to have a clear guess.
Of course, even if there were no such fluctuations, Ye Qi could be sure.
After all, compared to the 'castrated' wizards of the free era, the wizards at this time can be called real wizards.
'We have nothing to fear even in death for the sake of freedom, let alone some blood!' ’
In the age of freedom, all that remains is respect and remembrance, while in the age of wizards it is the norm.
Of course, wizards in the wizarding era did not swallow their anger, and likewise, they did not skimp on the rewards they needed.
In fact, the rapid departure of the female archduke this time, as far as Ye Qi knew, was also for this reward - for Xue Ye, this kind of reward from the imperial capital of the wizarding dynasty should not be missed.
Even if there are now the 'materials' he has earned in the potion, if there are more materials, presumably the people of the Principality of Snowy Night will definitely not object - after all, both the Grand Duke of Snowy Night and Ye Qi are very clear that the way they are earning the 'materials' now can only solve the urgent need for a while.
Once the market is saturated, it is natural to fall into a difficult place.
Although Ye Qi has the means to extend this time indefinitely, such an extension of time will inevitably reduce the amount of 'potions' he provides to a controllable range - however, thinking about the war four years later, such controllability is obviously necessary.
Even for the sake of Kimpton, Ye Qi would not do such a thing as 'capital enemy'.
And almost as Ye Qi continued to think about these things, the magic eyes he had arranged began to react slightly.
The next moment, the fluctuations that appeared within the perception made Ye Qi slightly stunned. And then. He stood up with a smile.
……
"What a prosperous sight!"
Master Leddy looked at the caravan shuttling through. I couldn't help but sigh - for a wizard who had been here on a snowy night, the impression of the snowy night was not unimpressive.
Ice and snow, gritted teeth and insistent people.
The former is cold to the bone, and the latter is thick tenacity, like a flame, which moves those who see it.
Therefore, even if it is the memory of twenty years ago, Master Leddy still remembers it clearly.
But. This time it was different.
A smile, a smile that comes from the heart – even in the snow and ice, makes people feel warm.
And some of the surrounding conversations made the corners of Master Leddy's mouth slightly upturned-
"Thank you, Master Joe!"
"The same kindness and wisdom as our Grand Duke!"
"And, a genius!"
……
Such words had already filled his ears, and a feeling of pride rose from the bottom of his heart, making Master Leddy involuntarily puff up his chest.
The young man he valued undoubtedly did not disappoint him, and even exceeded his expectations.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of His Excellency Qiao, who is known as a 'genius'!"
The middle-aged man standing beside Master Rydy was equally unsparing of his praise - the black robes, which were slightly different from the wizard's robes, were imprinted with layers of heavy lines.
Any official wizard. will recognize such a costume.
Archon's robes!
"Archon Path, welcome!"
The Grand Duchess stood under the gates of the outer fort of the Snowy Night Castle to greet the wizard high-ranking from the imperial capital of the wizarding dynasty.
"I've seen the Grand Duke of Snowy Night. Your beauty is like a snow lotus on the ice field, which makes people feel ashamed! ”
Compared to the Archon vonde, this Archon of Paz not only did not have a rigid face, but on the contrary, with a hint of a smile, he had a kindness that ordinary people could not imagine - if it were not for the robe of the Archon on his body, anyone would think that this is the elder next door.
Of course, the Archon's robes and the aura of strength that has reached the transcendent realm are enough to show that he deserves to be an Archon.
"You've overdone it, Archon Path...... Are you a Master of Leddy? ”
After a modest remark, Grand Duke Snowy Night looked at Master Leddy, who was undoubtedly more like a benevolent and kind elder than the Archon of Path.
"I've seen the Grand Duke of Snowy Night!"
Master Reddy smiled and nodded.
"Joe and I have mentioned you countless times!"
The female archduke expressed more respectful etiquette, and as for the meaning of the words, it is naturally self-evident - the relationship between Joe and Master Leddy is obvious to all in the entire wizarding dynasty, and now that Joe has become the advisor of the Principality of Snowy Night, then Master Ladydy is also inextricably linked to the Principality of Snowy Night.
To put it simply, this is your own person.
And treat their own people, Snow Night people will never treat them badly.
Therefore, in the next period of time, the mild-mannered Archon Paz couldn't help but joke again and again-
"It's really nice to have a genius junior!"
Touching the tip of his nose, Archon Paz sat in the hall of the Snowy Night Inner Fort and said with a smile.
Although some people speculate that 'Joe' is a disciple of Master Leddy, Master Rydy has announced in public more than once that 'Joe' is not his disciple.
Therefore, all those in the know see the relationship between the two parties as the one between the elders and the juniors.
And in this regard, Master Leddy did not explain again.
As far as Ye Qi is concerned, he naturally acquiesces.
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Archon Path's words at this moment.
"There are not many genius boys in the Paz family!"
Master Reddy said with a smile.
This is not a joke, but a fact - in fact, there is no shortage of so-called 'geniuses' in any consul's family, after all, under the accumulation and catalysis of a large number of resources, even ordinary people will be given the title of 'genius'.
It's just that only I know how valuable such a 'genius' is.
Of course, this is something that everyone knows in private, but it is not explicitly stated.
"Compared to that Joe, it's too much worse!"
Archon Paz waved his hand with a wry smile and said bluntly.
It is clear that the mild-mannered Archon of Paz is not a man who wants to save face; Or...... He couldn't hold up the majesty of an archon in front of Master Leddy.
After all, what is my mission this time? Paz was clear.
Thinking of the explanations of those two majestys. and the advice of another majesty. Path's heart was like a river overturning - as one of the archons of the wizarding dynasty, Path never imagined that a master wizard would attract so many people's attention.
However, he didn't expect it beforehand, but once it happened, Paz knew it in his heart.
That 'Joe' has a bright future!
Therefore, for such a promising young man, not only himself, but everyone who has a relationship with him. Paz will put it on an equal footing with himself.
Others may not know the way, but as an archon, he knows very well - perhaps, the archon in Lorant can be regarded as a big man.
However, it really doesn't mean much compared to the wizards who have returned from the land of the gods' conquest.
Or, to be more precise, the wizards who came back from there were a different concept altogether, something that the archons couldn't interfere with.
After all. Externally, it was the Wizard Emperor's own staff team.
And from Paz's point of view. That 'Joe' was undoubtedly already in the staff of the Wizarding Emperors.
In the face of such a person, Paz naturally knew what to do-
"Grand Duke, this is a reward from His Majesty Abigail!"
Quickly, Archon Path took out the condensed magic crystal cores from the [dimensional bag] he carried with him.
Magic Crystal Core, which is condensed from ordinary magic crystals.
A normal standard magic crystal is about the thickness of an adult's little finger, but the condensed magic crystal core is enough to condense nearly a thousand standard magic crystals into a magic crystal core the size of a fingernail - this is an alchemy-based refining technique, which has a very wide range of uses in the upper echelons of the wizarding dynasty.
Not just the refinement of ordinary magic crystals, but also the refining of magic crystal ores.
These are all embodied in this small magic crystal core.
Of course, its value has also increased dramatically;
After all, a condensed magic crystal core was enough to support the normal energy supply of an inner castle the size of Snowy Night Castle for a year.
Magic lighting, temperature keeping, and even golems, defensive magic cannons, etc., are sufficient.
However, apart from the first two, Snowy Night Castle has basically no other facilities.
Ordinary defensive golems need a puppeteer to support them, and for Snowy Night Castle, which lacks wizard talents, it is obviously impossible.
As for the magic cannon?
That's even more of a joke.
The cost of a magic cannon requires hundreds of thousands of magic crystals, which is completely unthinkable for the financial deficit of Snow Night Castle.
What's more, the cannonballs of the magic cannon are magic crystals!
Even if it is a small-caliber magic cannon, it will take hundreds of magic crystals to go down in one shot!
Even if he is a wealthy Grand Duke, in the face of such a way of fighting, he needs to consider layers of things before he can make a decision.
However, even without these, looking at the magic crystal cores in front of him, a strong look of joy appeared on the face of the Grand Duke of Snowy Night—far beyond their estimated reward!
In their previous meetings, about fifteen to twenty-five magic crystal cores were a limit.
Again, this is because of the involvement of different races.
If it's just a few robbers and bandits, five is very good, even if there are wizards involved.
Therefore, when he saw a full fifty magic crystal cores appear on the table, the face of the Grand Duke of Snowy Night turned pale, and the captain of the guard and the captain of the militia couldn't help but breathe rapidly.
"This ...... Some are too much, right? ”
The Grand Duchess would never forget her principles because of greed, so she asked when the Archon of Paz stopped moving.
"This is for you and the Duchy of Snow Night, and the rest is His Majesty Abigail's reward for Master Joe - knowing that it is quite a feat for Lundao to kill an alien race again on Lorant!"
Archon Paz separated thirty of the magic crystal cores on the table and placed them in front of the Grand Duke of Snowy Night, while the remaining twenty were left in their original places - it was clear that the latter belonged to Ye Qi.
"Thank you for the generosity of His Majesty Abigail!"
The Grand Duchess stood up and saluted, feeling more grateful to her advisor.
Although it was only three-fifths of it, it was far more than she estimated for the reward; Moreover, it is clear that such an unimaginable reward is undoubtedly due to her own advisor - the Grand Duchess knows very well that it is impossible to obtain such a rich reward if it were not for her own advisor to kill that alien race.
"Maybe Joe should be given a knighthood......"
Subconsciously, such a very natural thought appeared in the heart of the female archduke.
For those who have made great contributions, the bestowal of knighthood is the consciousness of a superior person—although it divides his own territory, it is necessary.
Otherwise, it will only make people feel chilled.
However, soon the archduchess thought of the character of her advisor, and suddenly, shook her head - the other party is obviously not a person suitable for taking care of the territory, and the daily and nightly testing and studying spells will undoubtedly make the other party feel distressed if she gives the other party a piece of territory, and this is also a disaster for the people.
On a snowy night, an irresponsible lord will only make more people die.
"But what do I have besides the title?"
Rejecting the original idea, the Grand Duchess couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Grand Duke, I want to meet Master Qiao......"
Paz on the side said with a smile at this time - in fact, such a proposal is his main purpose this time.
PS It seems that the power ran out in the middle of the night last night, and when I woke up early in the morning, I found that the ice cream in the refrigerator had melted, the buns were broken, and the watermelon was also delicious......
