Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's Over
Marina's return did not bring any waves to Snow Castle. Everything was calm and normal, and at most, when the residents started chatting, they would mention the new eldest lady of Snow Castle.
At least on the surface, it is.
Irreconcilable contradictions still exist, and under the large system called "Snow Castle", they hold each other back and tether, and steadily maintain the Great Wall of the north of Marenor.
Seven full days had passed since the end of that banquet, and during these seven days, the power structure below the duke in the snow castle began to change dramatically.
First of all, the Great Elder Vincent decided to retire, that is, to give up his position as an elder, no longer worry about the affairs of the clan, and all the rights were handed over to the son who he used to call "unsuccessful", and he seemed to have moved to a farm somewhere outside the castle and lived a leisurely life.
Several other conservative bigwigs, after the regular meeting, have become more restrained in their actions, and seem to avoid Warrent at every turn.
Vorent also borrowed the donkey from the slope and waved his hand to promote a large number of young talents from the Young Zhuang faction. By the way, Greenfield has also been promoted to Scout Instructor of the Snow Eagle Knights.
But Wentini's work is almost shared with others. It was only after it took her five full days to complete the handover of the work that the people in the snow castle knew what kind of hard life the duke's little lady usually lived.
Su Wen felt that Wentini seemed to be so paranoid because of the huge work pressure and the extremely fast pace of life, so that an evil thought in his heart that was only due to jealousy grew and bloomed into an evil flower.
On the sixth day, Wentini committed suicide using her Shadow skill. However, it didn't work out, and he was rescued. After that, Wentini's expression was always a little dazed, and the whole person was much quieter than before.
Kyle also noticed the change in Wentini, and suddenly became a little sensible, although he still didn't like Marlena very much, but at least he should have the politeness, there was still there.
In addition, Kyle actually showed a good impression of Ellie, although Kyle was unforgiving, but Su Wen had witnessed too many times Kyle finding various reasons to approach Ellie. is worthy of being a child of an aristocratic family, and matures really early.
Even though he knew that the Markwee family was inextricably linked to the Black Rope Society, Warrent only planned to bury it as a secret and never mention it again. Wentini's method of contacting the Black Rope Society was only to contact her brother who once loved her very much by letter, and she herself did not hold any position in the Black Rope Society.
At the behest of Warrent, Marlena and Rosen learn to deal with some family affairs with Xiwen, and in this respect, Marlena and Rosen are basically evenly matched - and are given a passing grade by Xiwen.
was assigned a lot of homework and practice by Xiwen, and the two also formed a comrade-in-arms because of Xiwen, a common enemy.
Several family banquets also made the speed of mutual acceptance between Marlena and her family a little faster.
It is worth mentioning that Roland and Shirley, the sister and brother, have a skyrocketing favorability towards Su Wen, for them, Su Wen, a big brother who seems ordinary but is regarded as a guest of honor by his father, is very attractive. Coupled with Su Wen's easy-going personality, they felt as if they had met a bosom friend.
Su Wen didn't do anything, just took them to pretend to be adventurers to take on a mission to hunt monsters, so that they could experience the adventurous life they had longed for before.
This kind of adventure is not an absolutely safe sightseeing under Su Wen's escort, but a danger and experience that Su Wen estimated based on their second-order silver strength, which is quite close to the real hunting trip. According to the requirements of the Imperial Academy, the two of them could not participate in the internship hunt held by the academy until they were eighteen years old. It was a valuable experience for them.
In his free time, Su Wen would also take Ellie around the city, looking for traces of the memory gems. Not to mention, I actually found one in a jewelry store.
Su Wen took out the only dozens of silver left on his body, and still couldn't afford to buy a necklace priced at eighty-eight silver coins, so he was naturally ridiculed by the snobbish guy.
Ellie is thin-skinned and is extremely uncomfortable to be said by the guy, but Su Wen is thick-skinned, leave a mark, just come and buy it next time.
But things are always full of surprises.
A powerful couple who happened to come over to choose jewelry recognized the two people wearing orange medals at the banquet, greeted them respectfully, and saw that the guy next to them was weak.
Of course, Su Wen was not interested in snobbing the face of the snobbish guy, and politely returned the salute to the couple.
Although Su Wen wouldn't do this, another guy who witnessed the whole incident next to him would.
After noticing that there was a problem, the onlooker immediately slipped back from the storefront and told his superiors about what he had witnessed, and the superiors noticed the seriousness of the problem and immediately ran upstairs to invite out the small boss, who couldn't handle it, and finally invited the big boss.
The Big Boss was one of the lucky ones to be able to attend the Snow Castle Dinner as a regular guest without medals, and with his decades of eyesight in identifying gemstones, he remembered the two men who were scurrying around that night wearing orange medals. So he immediately counted all his subordinates and rushed to the store in person.
laughed with him, greeted the two of them with a cold greeting, and in the form of a meeting gift, wrapped the necklace with a price of eighty-eight silver coins in a gift box and gave it to Su Wen.
This scene made the guy shudder.
Su Wen also exchanged a few words with the boss, and then left the jewelry store with Ellie.
Before leaving, Ellie glanced at the guy with a gloating look.
In short, in the end, the guy was beaten up by the big owner of the jewelry store with the joy of the rest of his life, and fined a large sum of money.
Taking this incident as an opportunity, Su Wen was on the way back to Snow Castle to educate Ellie some principles of life. It gave Ellie the idea of "I would have known that I would have slept in my room or go to play with Roland Shirley, so that I wouldn't come out to find any gems for you".
As for the memories in the gems, they are also just vague fragments and some familiar faces, and there is no real result. But just these made Su Wen feel very happy.
Taking advantage of Su Wen's joy, Roland and Shirley respectively got a "gadget" from Su Wen, which was something that Su Wen casually made using the synthesis technique in "Drifting Fantasy" when he was fine. Although it is a gadget, it is almost life-saving for them.
"Coincidentally" passing by Kyle, who was next to Ellie, also got a smile from Su Wen, which made him feel furious and immediately slipped away.
"Speaking of which, why haven't you seen Barot lately?" Ellie always felt that something was missing, and once when she went to the cafeteria to eat, she saw it
Balot's hurried back only to remember that there was such a person.
"I don't know. ”
"School is almost starting school, I'm afraid Sister Barot is crazy about making up her homework, right?" Shirley thought for a moment and gave her own answer.
"Deserve it, who let her play every day at the beginning of the holiday, and come to taunt us, hum. Roland was pleased.
It's back to school......
Su Wen touched his chin, and some thoughts popped up in his heart.
On the seventh day, the two finally met Balot, who had sunken dark circles, in the cafeteria. At this time, Barot did not have the quiet years when they first met, but went out to forage for food like a long-lived housemaiden.
But her face was not tired at all, but radiant.
"Brother Su Wen, do you know! Next semester, my father asked Sister Marlena to come to our school to study!Ah! Sister Marlena has become my schoolgirl!" As soon as they met, Barott excitedly announced to the two of them this excellent news for her: "Now, I should be able to apply for a two-person room where Sister Marlena lives together, what department is Sister Marina, it should be a comprehensive department, it would be nice if I transferred to the Department of Magic......"
School?
Su Wen glanced at Ellie, who was eating without pause, and captured the vague thought before.
Ellie suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and her instinct as a monster even made her almost enter a combat state covered with exoskeleton armor.
