Chapter 45: Those Things Outside the Circle (2)
Looking at Edison's outstretched hand and immature face, Greene Mongo froze suddenly, but Alia, who had just pretended to have fallen to the ground, reacted first and exclaimed:
"What? You're a 'stranger,' a ...... Not yet an adult child?" She seemed unsure herself, and looked at Greene with some hesitation.
Greene was excited by this gaze, and also reacted, as if explaining and verifying, and said: "Well! The real name of 'Outlander' is indeed Edison? Tesla, but I really don't know how old you are, I didn't expect you to be so young, but I heard that you became an official magician last year, congratulations!
As he spoke, Greene looked straight at Edison, hoping that he would come up with something to prove his identity.
And when he saw this look, Edison also reacted, and he immediately said: "Look at me, I have forgotten that I still have business to do!"
"Wait a minute, you two, until I'm done!" said Edison, taking out his magician certificate from his coat pocket and handing it to the waiter, he deliberately slowed down his movements halfway through, allowing Greene to see the name on it.
And when Greene looked at the date of birth of Edison marked on it, his eyes couldn't help but bulge, and he thought in disbelief: "The imaginary age is 14, and the real age is 13, doesn't that mean that he only wrote "The Magician Who Walked Out of the Red Mansion" when he submitted it...... Are all magicians born in the Imperial Royals monsters?"
Edison didn't care how much of the shock he brought to Greene with his casually exposed hand, and by this time he had already arrived at the communication room, and with a flip of his palm, he inserted a communication crystal into the groove of the communication room. The mana was then automatically entered, and Lancer's crystal was attached.
It's just a pity. Three minutes passed, and there was still no response. It seems that either Lancer didn't have the communication crystal with him, or there was no communication room near Lancer.
However, Edison thought about the feeling of going to the Central Continent a few times ago, the entire imperial capital was transformed by magic like a future city in the 23rd century, and the application of magic technology like various black technologies was all over the street.
So three minutes later, Edison ended this meaningless magic call with a little regret, and after paying another 100 silver coins for the call, he left the magic guild.
Only this time. There were two more people behind Edison, Greene and Alia.
......
Following the guidance of the contract, 20 minutes later, Edison led the two to a medium-sized inn with elegant decoration but not ostentatious.
Looking at the simple but elegant new art style at the door, and the new art and architectural style with vitality in the classics, Edison couldn't help but praise the salted fish's ability to do things!
This low-key luxury style is Edison's dish, and the previous magic guild showed off its wealth in many places too naked/naked/naked, which was not to his taste, but it met the impression that most magicians had of this city.
And in the conversation along the way. Edison also quickly became acquainted with Green, after all, strictly speaking, the two had exchanged letters for nearly 10 years, and even if they had not met each other, some things were still very talkative.
Alia's identity is soon revealed. She came from a fledgling magical family line, and her parents weren't special, and she was originally a book illustrator. Somehow, in the past two years, I have also started to write my own novels and submit them to "The Blind Mage". It's just something that's written...... Hehe!
But writing a book is hard work, even if Edison had an idea. There are a lot of classics to learn from, and he himself is a magician and a part-time warrior, with a clear mind and flexible hands and feet!
But if it weren't for some obsessions about his previous life, Edison might not have been able to last that long, after all, the localization of sentences and stories still has to take a lot of thought, and many plots are actually considered original to him.
So for Arya's insistence, Edison could only invite her to have a meal together, which can be regarded as a sign of support, after all, it is not easy for ordinary people to do anything in this world, even if she has a family behind her, most of them can't be relied on.
But speaking of which...... Franklin's surname, but Lilith's teacher's surname, Edison and her really have a little bit of an incense relationship.
......
After entering the hall, a graceful waitress soon greeted the group of three, and after a little word, Edison was led to a private room by her, which was exactly what Edison immediately contacted through the power of the contract after meeting the two again, and notified the salted fish to book.
As soon as the two sides met, Edison spread his hands evenly, pointed to his own people and introduced:
"Is this a salted fish? Bit, my chosen guardian!"
"This is Carrick Ryan Aland, my newly recognized little brother, and I plan to let my father take him as a personal disciple!"
Then he turned his head and said to the two:
"This is Greene Mengge, the editor-in-chief of The Blind Mage!" said Edison, raising his hand slightly.
And this is Aleia Franklin, the contributor to The Blind Mage. But as he spoke, his hand pressed down slightly.
This movement is natural and smooth, but after a few simple clicks, Salted Fish already knows how to talk to a few people.
Although Ryan doesn't know much about it, he is a little closer to Green.
Only Arya didn't feel anything, eating and drinking by herself, showing her true colors as a foodie, and she was very satisfied with her after a meal, and she couldn't help but be a little more grateful to Edison, which made Edison a little embarrassed, but she was still cheeky, said a few more words of encouragement to her, and commissioned a few illustration jobs.
The dinner was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and it was not until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Edison privately made an appointment with Greene to meet tomorrow at a time and place.
It's just that after the banquet was dispersed, a table of cups and plates was left in a mess, which caused a lot of trouble for a few waiters. But after Edison left a tip of dozens of silver coins, some complaints were naturally swallowed into his stomach.
After all, it's not that people are like those people in the Magic Guild, you don't need to pay with gold coins, and people look down on you.
......
After the meal, Edison explained again, put away his unenchanted magic robe, changed into a handmade clothes made of exquisite materials, and then explained to Salted Fish and Ryan, and the three of them went to the street again.
It's just that this time Edison's feelings were completely different, and along the way, Edison's emotions were mostly envy and awe...... and even jealous.
With his ear, he could faintly hear some gossip women discussing: "Which little master is this going out!" ”
There are even a few big sisters in their 20s who look quite beautiful and take the initiative to boldly step forward to tease Edison, and they are not afraid of being told to gnaw on tender grass!
......
After walking for more than 4 hours in the afternoon, Edison took the two of them to walk around the surrounding 4 miles (6,500 meters), and saw the alternative development and prosperity of the coastal area, which also really made Edison experience what it means to "people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold." ”
This made him sigh: "They are all visual animals!", but also had a new touch and understanding of beliefs and emotions.
After dinner, Edison went to the four-person room that had been booked, and after entering the door, Edison opened his mouth and asked Salted Fish, "What do you think of those two people during the day?"
Salted fish didn't know why, but still said: "Ge Lin is quite a kind person, it seems that the master has talked to him!"
"But the one named Arya seems to be a little ......" When the words came to his mouth, the salted fish did not say any more, because he could not say that the person whom the master befriended was stupid!
Edison said disapprovingly: "Greene is kind, but you will have more time to deal with him in the future! You have to remember that no matter what profession people are, since they come together because of interests, then this friendship is first and foremost a transaction, if you really regard the transaction as a friendship, then it will ......."
"As for the one named Yaria, don't look down on her, just help if you can, there is no harm, but you don't have to do it deliberately. If I really want to do that in the future, it would be nice to have a few trusted illustrators through her!"
After that, Edison shook his head and didn't say anything, he believed that the words he didn't say, the salted fish would understand it by himself, he didn't want to learn from Zhuge Liang, explain everything clearly, and do it himself, so what do you have to do with his subordinates, wouldn't it be better to replace it all with a structure.
After the two sentences were explained, Edison pulled Ryan, who was worried on the side, and said, "I went to contact my father today, but ......"
Speaking of this, Edison paused for a moment and looked at Ryan rubbing his little hands nervously, but seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Ryan couldn't help but ask in frustration: "My lord, is your father ...... Rejected me?"
Edison jokingly pulled his face and said: "How come, it's just that my father has something to do and hasn't been contacted, you have to smile more in the future, naturally, whose child is so heavy at your age, always thinking about it, worrying about this, worrying about that." ”
"It's just that before the official apprenticeship, I will ask my father on behalf of me, if one day, you have enough strength, do you still want to take back your family property?"
After saying this, Edison squinted and saw Ryan's little hand clenched all of a sudden.
So he hurriedly added: "Don't rush to answer me first, this question has time for you to think about it slowly, and then talk about it when you think clearly." ”
"You know, to tell a lie, you have to use more lies to round it up, and if you deceive others, you can't lie to yourself for the rest of your life. ”
"I'll contact my father again tomorrow, and if my father really wants to accept you as a disciple, this question is probably inevitable. ”
"I'm asking for my father in advance, lest you make a mistake!"
...... (To be continued.) )
PS: (Monday, I really don't want to say anything, I just looked at the details, a wave of small highs/tides is brewing, you can look forward to it!)
