Chapter 196: A Bloodless Confrontation
The reason why everyone was waiting and watching, and Lin who did not come to contact the actual manager as soon as the twenty-six apprentices passed the assessment was because everyone wanted to confirm what he meant. After all, most nobles are embarrassed, and they rashly make demands and are rejected, and to be honest, their reputation is also quite hurtful.
As for those merchant families, they didn't come forward at the first time, because they didn't want to be too anxious and be slaughtered. But to endure until now, it is already the limit of everyone, after all, it is the vital interests that are at stake. And to be able to meet at the banquet 'by chance', everyone will inevitably be tempted by all kinds of words.
Lin didn't talk about it either, because this kind of banquet was not the place to decide what was going on. So it's just a matter of following the meaning of everyone's words and saying some social rhetoric for socializing. The intention to cooperate is still the same as in the past, and the attitude has not changed because of what has been done.
For the academy to continue to operate, it is not enough to rely on one person. Partnering with others to form a system is the long-term way to do business. Under such a premise, Lin will not refuse anyone. So, of course, I tried my best to build a good relationship with the people I was talking to.
However, he is not a talkative person, and fortunately this time someone else asked him, so the conversation can continue. It's also that Lin is not good at rambling, so when there is nothing to say, someone else will come in and repeat the same conversation.
I thought that I would fall into this infinitely repetitive hell today, and suddenly the people who lined up to test the same thing are gone. The people who were talking to each other made way like Moses dividing the sea. On the other end is the High Elf, Lienatitov.
A tight-fitting peach-colored evening gown matched her fair skin, while her flowing silver hair sparkled in the candlelight of the evening banquet hall. The dazzling degree of the twin peaks and silver hair that is about to come out is enough to blind the eyes of a certain former fat house.
"Lord Tripwood." The High Elf gracefully raised his glass in greeting.
"Ms. Titov." Lin Tong raised his glass. The way to fight this bloodless war is that everyone laughs and stabs in the mouth. Whoever collapses first loses.
There is no doubt that the elf in front of you is a Peugeot beauty. In particular, the pair of pointed ears spontaneously pierced out, which has a unique beauty. It's just that the clothes she and the group of ladies are wearing are already close to the 21st century style of the earth.
In other words, the cultural export of Fen as a model has achieved remarkable results. It's just that this group of noble women refused to admit defeat, emphasizing that this was the aristocratic style from Lienatitov's hometown. A certain elf smiled, not denying or admitting it. Fen didn't want to grasp this point and complain about the other party, but just despised the other party with the eyes of a victor, staring at them until they showed an expression of hatred that tickled their teeth.
But a certain lich today is not dressed in a way that compares to others in terms of how to save on fabric, but in the style of a nineteenth-century European noblewoman. The light skirt was propped up from side to side with skirt supports, highlighting the slender waist. The shoulders are fluffy, like onions, and are covered in lace front and back, layered on top of each other.
In front of the abdomen, staggered thin lines tie the sky-blue tunic to reveal the pure white shirt underneath and hold the majestic twin peaks. On the head is an exaggerated sunhat, the color and style of which are integrated with the clothes and do not look obtrusive.
Letting go of the hand holding Lin, Fen came to Lienatitov like a proud rooster, showing off his might. The two women are just-for-tat.
Secretly, since he faced off with Riena a few times, Lin noticed that the bust of a certain lich seemed to have grown a lot. When talking about this with a woman, she insisted that she was still in her development stage...... Mom, are people who are hundreds of years old still developing? This cheating body, not only does it not eat fat, but it can also be adjusted freely, which is estimated to make many women envious and crazy.
Rienatitov seems to know how to fight the lich, and she doesn't want to start a war with a certain woman as soon as she gets on the field, but ignores the other party and goes around to find the man who has faintly become the protagonist of today's banquet. He said: "Congratulations to Your Excellency on the good performance of the academy you founded. It's just that so many magicians have been trained, do you really think it's good? ”
Well, does this eldest lady know where she is? It's a city of magicians, and it's not afraid to ask such a smashing question...... Well, in terms of the other party's strength, she is really not afraid. Unless the elder will use the magic tower to attack, it will be difficult to leave a strong man of Riena's level.
In the face of such doubts, Lin certainly couldn't remain silent. Whether the reason was to defend the group of magicians or to maintain the face of the academy, he was bound to answer: "Is it really bad that there are more magicians?" ”
A rhetorical question doesn't seem to be a good answer. The High Elf tilted his head, revealing a curious, adorable expression that was impossible to dislike. In fact, this is a kind of questioning, but not so much as to show overt disgust.
Lin went on to explain: "Look at the world right now. The best person to dispense life-saving medicine is a magician; The best craftsmen are magicians; The best people who build buildings are magicians; Those who are at the forefront of the pursuit of truth and knowledge are also magicians. Perhaps to say that magicians are the safest guarantor of civilization would be to belittle the merits of warriors. Protecting civilization is not something that can be done by magicians alone. But what kind of people can do these things other than magicians to promote the progress of civilization, improve people's lives, and create new things that can bring more security or convenience to life? So ask me, are there too many magicians? I would only say that there would be too few magicians, not too many. ”
Such an argument was undoubtedly unheard of by the High Elf, and it also impacted the thoughts of the nobles present. As for the masters present, whether they appreciate this man or not, they all deeply agree with such a statement and want to applaud from the bottom of their hearts. Just standing behind Riena's ass, this scream can't come out.
For a long time, the group of magicians has only valued the combat ability of the individual and the extraordinary role that the group can play on the battlefield. Honestly, no one has ever looked at things from such a perspective. But as soon as you jump out, you will discover a new world.
"Promote the progress of civilization, hehe, is this something that magicians can do?"
"Of course not." Lin said it categorically, but it made Riena stunned. But he added, "But it must be the magician who is at the forefront, leading everyone to take the first step." ”
Speaking of which, the Fa Ye is to the earth, which is quite like the status of a scientist to the earth. And it is undeniable that most of the leaders in the knowledge field of the world are magicians. Even among the elves or dwarves, there is no one who is not magical. The difference is that the magician is a blacksmith part-time, or a blacksmith part-time magician.
"Oh, that's a funny statement." Riena nodded in agreement, but said, "But do you really think that under such a premise, the more magicians the better?" ”
, this chick.
However, Lin still replied seriously: "Is there only a smart person among magicians?" No, there are a lot of smart people in the crowd who aren't magicians. But aren't these people magically gifted? It's not either, it's just that they don't have a chance to enter the wizarding world. I'm just trying to provide this opportunity to as many people as possible, and I hope that these people who don't have the opportunity can do more things that benefit the world, not just fight and kill. ”
Rienatitov took a hard look at the man she didn't care about before. Speaking of which, she will come to the Xijia district of the southwest peninsula, and she has heard about the exploits of the Great Sage Tower to defeat a demon lord, and she wants to find out.
And the man who rejuvenated the Tower of the Great Sage and regained his extraordinary strength is honestly a little bit of a feeling that meeting is not as good as being famous. She would stay there for the sake of keeping an eye on the lich, but Riena had already left one of the former tower owners behind.
Now, in just four months, he has taught twenty-six apprentices who have been abandoned by other magicians, which is an astonishing achievement. This also made Riena face up, maybe these people who are not good at fighting are not really useless, but they just don't have a stage to play.
In the past, there was a perception that 'anyone who knows magic is dangerous', because the masters that Riena knew and the craftsmen of the clan were not only very good at fighting, but also very good at fighting, so there was such an illusion. But it seems a bit too arrogant to compare immortal species such as elves and dwarves with the short-lived species of humans.
In short, these words made Lienatitov reacquaint himself with the man in front of him, and he couldn't help but show a look of appreciation, saying: "It's a pity that you followed that woman." Do you want to leave her and follow me? By my side, I will make you extremely happy. ”
What a seductive invitation. Looking at the lich who was left to dry, the smile of the ancient well without waves, Lin's back was wet with cold sweat. He laughed awkwardly a few times, and said with an exaggerated expression of regret: "It's really an invitation that is hard to refuse." It's a pity that I have a lot of research, and I have to rely on Fin's wisdom and knowledge, and Ms. Titov doesn't seem to be of much help. So I can only decline your kindness. ”
Touching the chin of the man with a colored heart and no guts, the glamorous High Elf smiled and said, "When you don't need her, come to me." With that, he walked away, completely ignoring the silent person beside him.
A certain lich who was ignored smashed his mouth, looked at someone's back, and seemed to curse, but did not make a sound. But just by looking at the shape of his mouth, Lin knew that he should stay at home, and the most common sentence he said: 'This bitch with pointed ears.' ’
It seems that in today's game, a certain lich has lost. Just looking at Fen's eyes, Lin only felt that something was wrong.
