037 Gina farewell
These two people are not difficult to understand, and as a royal princess, Gina can't be stationed in Stormcastle forever. It can be said that her appearance here is an accident.
But I don't know why, when I suddenly heard that Princess Jina, a little girl, was leaving, Duke felt an inexplicable reluctance in his heart. Although the two of them have nothing to quarrel about, and Ji Na looks down on herself, this little girl can always provide selfless help when she is in the most difficult time.
Of course, there is also a basis for thinking about the people of Storm Castle, but in any case, Princess Gina still gave her a lot of help and helped Duke through the difficulties.
"Are you going back to the capital?"
Although the answer was obvious, Duke still asked.
"Hmm. Princess Gina nodded, and then continued: "The news of the invasion of the monsters of the Storm Castle has reached my father, and at the same time, the Dark Forest Orcs have also shown signs of gathering, and even the Milan Empire has unusually marched towards the border. Now the entire empire's military strength is very tight, and my father is worried about my safety in Storm Castle, so he ordered me to return to the capital as soon as possible."
"And how long will it take for you to leave?" asked Duke, pretending to be very flat.
"It's today. ”
"Oh, so soon, I was going to give you a farewell party or something, but it seems that it can be waived, and it can be regarded as saving money for Stormcastle. ”
Hearing Duke's tone, Princess Gina didn't know why, and she felt an inexplicable anger.
"You know money with this straw bag, don't forget that you still owe me five thousand gold coins!"
At the mention of money, Duke couldn't help but roll his eyes and asked, "Do I look like the kind of person who pays off my debts?"
"Like!" Gina mercilessly exposed Duke, who had never mentioned paying back since he borrowed money. At the beginning, he said that he would return it twice, but it turned out that Storm Castle is still poor and jingles, how can he have the money to pay it back.
Duke didn't know how to refute this sentence, so he could only look at Princess Jina helplessly, and he really didn't have the money to pay it back.
The sudden silence between the two people made the atmosphere suddenly awkward. Duke originally wanted to say a few words of send-off, but thinking about it, the relationship between the two didn't seem to be good enough to be hypocritical.
Princess Gina had almost the same idea as Duke, and at first she just wanted to say hello to Duke, but she didn't expect to start bickering again. At the same time, in her heart, there is still a trace of nostalgia that she does not want to admit, perhaps she herself is not aware of this emotion.
"Alright then, I won't send you away, I'm here to wish you a smooth journey. By the way, I'm not the kind of person who owes money and doesn't pay it back, and when I have money, I will personally go to the capital and give it to you twice!"
"Hmph! Who asked you to send it, remember what you said to pay back!"
Princess Ji Na replied arrogantly, and then turned around directly to leave.
Looking at Princess Jina's back, Duke suddenly spoke again: "Your Royal Highness, in fact, you have behaved much better than the vase during this time. ”
"Straw bale, who do you say is the vase!"
After Princess Jina said this, Duke laughed and said, "If you want to use my tricks to trick me, Your Royal Highness the princess, you are still a little tender!"
Seeing that this trick was seen through, Princess Gina pouted, and did not quarrel with Duke, but said angrily: "I'm leaving." ”
"Have a nice trip. ”
Gina glanced back at Duke, but finally didn't say yes, and turned to leave. Seeing Gina go away, the smile on Duke's face slowly faded, parting is always a little sad, when will I miss this delicate princess?
As soon as Princess Gina left, Duke saw a poker face appear in the doorway, and this face was none other than Gandalf, who had saved Stormcastle in the first place.
For some reason, every time Duke saw Gandalf's expression in a black robe, he felt an indescribable sense of disobedience. After all, the white-robed Gandalf in the movie left a deep impression on him.
As a result, there is now a black-robed Gandalf with a very different style, how do you look at it and feel contradictory, although this guy is definitely not dark and evil in terms of his current performance, and he can even be called the unsung hero of Stormcastle, but Duke just feels unaccustomed.
Because of the Holy See's cause, after the war was over, Gandalf chose to leave in a low-key manner. At the same time, in order to avoid Kasmai's suspicion, Duke deliberately did not contact Gandalf during this time, but he did not expect Gandalf to appear on his own initiative today.
"Gandalf, is there anything you can do?"
Gandalf stared at Duke's eyes and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Little one, you must know that I am a great mage, there has never been a great mage on the continent of Europa, and I have been hiding in the porcelain workshop all day, do you know how insulting this is to the status of the archmage?"
When Duke heard Gandalf's words, he suddenly had a feeling of speechlessness, thinking that it was true, he actually used a great mage as a furnace worker, and if this matter spread, it is estimated that too many people will be shocked to drop their jaws.
"Uh...... This one...... , The truth is indeed such a truth, but Gandalf, you also know the situation of Storm Castle, porcelain is almost the only source of income now, only you can control the magic array, there is really no way. ”
When he heard this, Gandalf finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, he had passed the freshness of burning porcelain, during this time he burned porcelain with a group of ceramic apprentices every day, it was simply unbearable for him to feel unbearable, a great magister, was actually fooled by Duke to do this kind of work, this is probably a shame for his magic career!
"Are you going to let me continue burning like this?"
As Gandalf said this, several bright fireballs suddenly appeared around him and began to spin around him, even from a distance of a few meters, Duke could feel the temperature and energy of the fireballs.
Damn, there is a princess Ji Na in front of me who disagrees with a sword qi and slashes over, but as soon as this little girl left, a magician came to smash a big fireball at me, this lord is too faceless, everyone is better than himself
Especially after seeing Gandalf's super fireball that day, Duke was simply apprehensive about this terrifying power, so he hurriedly persuaded him with kind words: "We have something to discuss, as a noble archmage, it is a lot of loss of identity, right?" ”
However, after seeing that the fireball around Gandalf not only did not go out, but became more and more hot, Duke realized that it was okay for him to fool Gina like this, and that it was useless for an old fritter like Gandalf, and that something practical had to be said.
"Okay! I can keep you from firing porcelain, but you must also give me a solution. We signed a magic contract in the first place, so I'm sure you won't risk breaking the contract!"
After Gandalf heard this, he directly threw out his own conditions: "I can help you solve the temperature problem of porcelain, but you must let me see the power of science, and this is also the contract you hired me in the first place!"
"No problem, but how do you fix it?"
Duke doesn't believe the verbal promises of an old fritter like Gandalf, he needs a pragmatic solution, after all, the source of porcelain gold is the foundation of Stormcastle's finances.
Faced with Duke's suspicions, Gandalf replied dissatisfiedly, "Do you think that a noble magician will deceive you?"
After saying this, Gandalf continued in an extremely mysterious tone, "Little one, have you ever heard of the Dark Witch Society?"
