Chapter 241: "Borrowing Money"

Wesley has also been promoted to a fourth-level wind mage, and more importantly, his few spiritual elements have also been promoted, and he has reached the standard of a second-level spiritual mage.

That night, Donner began teaching Wesley psychic magic, including illusions, banshee howls, and soul contracts.

The task wasn't urgent, and it couldn't be done overnight, so after he had a rough idea of what he was going to do, Wesley asked another question: "How short of money are we now?"

"Let's put it this way...... If it goes on like this, it will be a problem to even eat next month. Donner shrugged.

"Then you're going to let Una and Layla learn how to draw magic circles? Wesley grumbled.

"I want to train them to be assistants, and I have some ideas for experimenting with the magic array...... I have too little time, and the more assistants the better. As for the problem of money, it can always be solved. ”

"Do you want to let Layla go back?" Wesley reminded.

"Forget it, it's embarrassing to ask Shaida for money...... Donner said against his will, "It's too late to say it." ”

"Well...... "Wesley's mused," said Wesley, "I have a way to try." ”

"Let me guess, you found out when you went out with Una that day?"

"You guessed wrong this time," Wesley smirked, "I sat by the river the other afternoon, do you think I'm lazy?"

"Oh, what are you doing?" said Donner, confused.

"I'm peeking at the beauty......" Wesley reveals his trademark lewd grin.

"Can you be serious?"

"Listen to me......" Wesley gave Donald a blank look, "You don't know yet, there is a young woman living in the manor next door to us, and at first glance she is a rich man......"

"Let me declare first, if it involves such a thing as betraying hue, you can do it yourself, and I will not accompany you. Donner interrupted him.

"Don't be so nervous, okay?" Wesley waved his hand, "I'll tell you, I've been paying attention for days, and there's no one else in that manor except her and a few servants......"

Donner looked at him with a wicked smile and finally guessed what he was going to do: "You mean...... Steal?"

"Don't say it so ugly...... We are only in difficulty for the time being, so we can borrow a little bit from her, and then we can pay it back when we have the money...... Unbeknownst to her, of course. ”

"Isn't this stealing...... Donner laughed.

Wesley spread his hands: "Then you can figure it out yourself......

Afterwards, the two of them each read books related to the magic array.

After a while, Donner asked, "Are you sure there's no one else in that manor but the young woman?"

"Can you just ask?" Wesley didn't look up.

"Why don't you ask?"

"I'm a demon pet, have you forgotten?"

Donner was finally speechless.

......

The next afternoon, after returning from the Inspectorate, Donner brought a bouquet of flowers to the manor that Wesley had mentioned.

The maid saw that Hellian had come to visit, and immediately invited Donner to the small garden of the manor near the St. Francis River.

At this time, it was early spring in March, and there was already some faint greenery in the garden.

A short time later, a Hellian girl walked along the path by the river.

"Hello, have we met?" the girl looked a little older than Shaida, seventeen or eighteen years old, and walked and talked in a very cultured mannerβ€”Wesley was right, she was very beautiful.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor, and I just moved in not long ago......," Donner replied as he stood up and smiled.

"Has Monsieur Grandet sold his estate to you?" asked the girl, smiling.

"Oh no, I'm renting," Donner replied quietly, "Actually, I've only been in the Holy City for a short time, and I haven't decided where to settle down yet." ”

"You really know how to live," complimented the girl, "and what shall I call you, Mr. Neighbor?"

"Oh, please forgive my rudeness, my name is John, John Smith. Donner said apologetically.

"John Smith?" the girl's face changed slightly, but immediately returned to normal: "You are John Smith?"

"Have you heard my name?" Donner vaguely guessed why.

"Of course I've heard of it," the girl smiled and held out her hand, "the middle courtyard of the earth, Leona Chardon, I really didn't expect to meet the famous John Smith here." ”

She said her name with a deliberate pause, as if to watch Donner's reaction.

Donner didn't touch it, just symbolically shook the other's hand, put it to his lips, and kissed the hand through the magic continent.

"Nice to meet you...... You wouldn't be living here alone, would you?" asked Donner casually, and that was the real purpose of his visit.

"My father works in the Apothecary Society, but ......" Leona was slightly embarrassed: "It's just me here...... ...... with my brother."

Donner saw the other party's flickering words, and secretly guessed that Leona's father did not live with them, there should be an unspeakable reason, maybe it was related to a woman or something. However, he was unconcerned about the reasons for this.

"What about your brother?" he asked.

"My brother...... "You're back in the Holy Courtyard," Leona replied casually, and asked with great interest, "What about you, how did you come to move to the Holy City?"

"I serve in the Institution of Governors. Downer replied.

"The Inspector Society...... Leona was slightly stunned: "You joined the Inspectorate Society?"

"Yes," Donner smiled and stood up, handing him the bouquet of flowers he had been holding in his hand, "Excuse me......"

"It's beautiful," Leona exclaimed, then looked up again and asked suspiciously, "Are you really already a member of the Overseer?"

Looking at her appearance, it seems that the other party will join the superintendent society, and I think it is incredible.

"Yes," replied Donner, calmly, "I have joined the Inspectorate. ”

With that, he took his leave, and Leona did not stay.

......

Over dinner, Donner asks Una, "Have you heard of Leona Shadang?"

"Leona Chardon...... I don't have an impression...... Una shook her head blankly: "Is it the young master's new friend?"

"Not a friend," Donner replied casually, "it's a neighbor...... It's from the north manor. ”

Wesley quietly covered his face and hid his smile, he knew why Donner was asking this.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion by being too close in time, Donner deliberately delayed for a few days before finding Wesley.

"I'll do it tonight, you keep watch in my room, and if Una comes to me, you can say that I have something to do, and don't make her suspicious. ”

Wesley had seen Donner's skills and knew that he couldn't help if he went, so he didn't volunteer, but just smiled evilly and asked, "The first time you were a thief, did you panic?"

"Didn't you say it? It's not stealing, it's borrowing, and you'll have to pay it back later. Donner gave him a blank look.

"I didn't think you'd be so shameless...... Wesley looked distressed.
