Chapter 41: The Teacher's "Magic" (Part II)

"Teacher, Teacher Finley," Seeing that Finley just smiled and shook his head, the four-and-a-half-year-old little tuanzi grabbed Finley's sleeve and refused to let go, and said vaguely in his slightly pursed little mouth.

Finley laughed helplessly, and looked pleading at his master who was sitting in the middle of the long table. The baron touched his beard and grinned, "Finley, good Finley, you can promise Jill." And we'd love to see it, too! ”

Finley's face was full of helplessness for the master's family, not only did not stop it, but also added fuel to the fire. Still hesitant, he said, "But, sir, these cutlery are all ...... And it's all unique and complete...... If you break one, you'll ......."

Flintrey's chubby face was filled with earnestness: "Good Finley, good Finley, we all beg you!" ”

Even though he knew that most of his pleas were deliberate, as a baron and the head of the family, he was willing to put down his body and plead softly to the governess in addition to his face, which was already great sincerity. Finley hesitated, but made up his mind to pick up a beautiful silver spoon from the table, and held it up with a wry smile. As he closed his eyes, the expression on Finley's face changed. He became relaxed and focused, with a pleasant smile on his lips.

The silver spoon trembled slightly, but Finley's hand was steady, and for a few seconds, as if someone else had held it and pushed it down, the spoon bent down minute by minute, until it became a V-shape!

Finley let out a breath as he wiped the slight sweat from his forehead and opened his eyes. The two little girls have already said "Wow! One was "no matter how many times I watched it", the other was unexpectedly stunned, and then the adults applauded enthusiastically. Xiao Tuanzi's fat baby fat face flushed with excitement, revealing a big smile, his little hands stuck to Finley's sleeve, and he kept praising his beloved teacher inarticulately: "...... Teacher, that's amazing! Teacher, awesome! ”

Finley looked very embarrassed, his face turned a little red, and he could only say again and again: "It's just a little trick, ladies and gentlemen." ”

Bauer's eyes lit up. Excitedly, he leaned over the table and asked Finley if he could show himself the spoon. Finley, like all those who have no idea of his own, looked again in embarrassment to the Baron of Flintrey for help; After seeing the baron nod to himself in approval and encouragement, he took two steps forward and presented the crooked spoon to Bauer.

Bauer smiled back with an approving smile and, after a few seconds of playful playfulness, suddenly drew the spoon of the gourd, even though it had been bent into a V-shape. There was no sound, but at this moment, everyone invariably made a "snap" in their imaginations.

The spoon bent into a curved ruler suddenly straightened in the blink of an eye.

Compared to when Fen used his mind to bend the soup spoon, at this moment, Jin Shaolan felt a more distinct agitation - Mana, he thought with understanding, this was Mana's agitation.

Before everyone could react from their surprise, Bauer squeezed the handle of the spoon with his two fingers with a little ostentation: the bent marks on the spoon were invisible.

It was only at this time that everyone applauded.

"—not magic this time." The graceful and beautiful man smiled at himself teasingly, got up and bowed to everyone present to "curtain call". He sat back in his seat and nodded to Finley again, the mustache on his lips eager to express his undisguised little pride.

In a short period of time, Jin Shaolan observed that except for Tabesa, who was a high-level mage himself, and himself, who was not entirely focused on the dinner party itself at the beginning, only the baron had some thoughts about Bauer's "not magic", and the others were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the banquet.

"Your Excellency," he asked in a relaxed voice, "you see, I have a reluctant request: will I be allowed to borrow your trusted governess from you?" ”

Finley, who was standing beside him waiting for orders, looked incredulous. Bauer couldn't help but smile. "Take it easy, take it easy," he said.

He tells a startled Finley that he is looking for an apprentice to investigate Karazan's colleagues, and that Finley apparently has a natural affinity for magic. There, he could become an apprentice to a full-fledged mage, but of course, becoming a mage apprentice would mean facing more dangers. "So, are you willing to go to Karazan, to the path of opportunity and danger?"

Finley's eyes lit up with "surprise" and "hope". But soon, this joy turned into hesitation and struggle. He looked fondly at his two students, both of whom were staring at their teacher with excitement and pride on their faces. It can be seen that Jill and Tila are both proud and full of anticipation that the teacher may become a great magician like Mr. Bauer, and they also have a little "I knew the teacher was so powerful". It wasn't until they saw the reluctance in the teacher's eyes that the two children realized something, and their little faces began to become hesitant.

This made it even more difficult for Finley to choose, and he looked at Ball, then at his two students, and then at Ball. After several struggles, he once again looked for help at the head of the family he served. The half-old gentleman was grinning at him, his funny and pleasant face overflowing with generosity and relief, and with this kind smile, the baron's mouth and the corners of his eyes showed fine wrinkles. He looked directly at his tutor and nodded vigorously in encouragement.

With the baron's affirmation, Finley finally made up his mind. He held one of the two students' hands in each hand and shook it vigorously. Feeling the teacher's eagerness and expectations, the ignorant eyes of the two children gradually brightened. The four little hands shook the teacher's hand vigorously, and then "flew" back to their parents happily like two little sparrows. Behind them, Finley raised his head to meet the smiling gazes of Ball and Tabesa. He exclaimed, "I do!" ”

This time, the ballroom erupted in gentle and sustained applause.

After a short hiccup, the beautiful dinner party (Boss Jin: I saw your big-headed ghost, I can't be beautiful at all now) also ended in a happy atmosphere for the guests and hosts (Boss Jin: But I didn't feel happy!). No! )。 Tabesa and Bauer had lived in Baron Flintrey's house before, and although Jin Shaolan was afraid of the fish-man's wings, no, he was still afraid of the fish-man's fin soup, but he was still gladly invited to live in this mansion.
