Chapter 16: The Outbreak of the Little Man
Lucmásis was a little dissatisfied with Charlotte's unexpected calmness, and in his expectation, as soon as he spoke, this aristocratic man, this commoner boy should be submissively pandering to him, after all, that would be in line with his identity as a small person.
But now, this kid seems to be too calm.
Hawkers, forget it, it's just a pariahs with incompetent reading qualifications, so why should I care?
"Since you originally came from a gothic pharmacy, it's just right that you can persuade your new store manager to carefully consider my previous mention while going back to show off your new identity. I look forward to her answer, and hope that she will not make the foolish choice of letting the Gothic apothecary die on the Champs-Études. ”
Charlotte's brows furrowed, but she immediately hid the dissatisfaction that instantly appeared on her face.
He didn't understand how this Lukmásis could have something to do with the Gothic Pharmacy and Anne, but he thought of the identity of Lukmás's young generation of potions, and had a faint guess.
Buck's echo then answers Charlotte's doubts.
"That's right, sue your master, either become Master Luke's lover, or wait for the Gothic Pharmacy to be swallowed up by Uncle Luke's Kemasi Pharmacy. That Anne was just a poor man abandoned by the Tommen family, and I heard that she had been exiled to Aston City. In this way, it is the best choice to throw yourself into the arms of our young master Luke and accept his protection. ”
Luke Mathis glanced at the arrogant Buck, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, this idiot, what he said with one mouth stinks like, didn't I become a gentleman who coerced and seduced other young ladies when you said this?
Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you were the only male heir of the Lehrer family, and you could make good use of your identity, how could I have kept an idiot like you by my side?
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a lover of poor Miss Anne of the Tommen family, and I hope to further unite with the Goths. Because I really can't bear to see such a beautiful girl running a pharmacy, it's too hard, and I'm willing to do anything if I can solve her problems. ”
Although Luke Mathis seems to be talking to Charlotte, he is actually explaining to the children of the nobility around him who are not his followers.
Naturally, the aristocratic boys around him were smart enough to automatically ignore Barker's stupid "truth" and instead nodded to Lukmais in understanding.
In fact, this kind of thing is nothing to them and nobles, and they are also interested in doing this kind of thing, but it is not easy to get on the table.
Seeing the "disgusting" interaction of these nobles, Charlotte struggled a lot to hold back her disgusted expression.
Lukmásis then looked at Charlotte, with a fake smile on his face that was like a nobleman's handout to a commoner, and after waiting for a satisfactory answer from this, he left here and went to the high-level potion research department that the apprentices of the Nian Technique coveted but were not allowed to enter.
Charlotte finally roughly understood the relationship between Lukmathis and Goth and Anne, and naturally looked at Lukmais with a smile, but no one could detect the chill in this smile, and then he said something naturally, as casual as a chat between friends.
It's just that, the next moment, the surroundings fell into a dead silence for a moment.
In Lukmás's expectation, it was almost impossible to think that the pariah, named Charlotte, would answer himself like this next.
"Dear Lord Luke Mathis, I will definitely obey your orders, villain, and I will persuade our store manager to accept your mention when I go back......"
In fact, not only him, but most of the noble children around him thought so.
After all, this Charlotte is just a commoner living in the slums of the west, and anyone who can understand the huge status gap between commoners and nobles must be able to give such a reasonable answer.
And this civilian, who was lucky enough to be admitted to the Nian Shu Guild, must not be stupid enough to disobey this almost rule-like rule.
But, to their shock, what they heard was a different version, one that was very different from the one before.
"Who are you?"
Luke Mathis heard the civilian boy in front of him say this.
Didn't believe it.
Luke Mathis's first reaction was not to believe it, thinking that he had misheard.
It was only when he saw the shocked expressions of the people around him that he realized that, perhaps, he had not heard it wrong.
The smirk on his face that had always been a handout to the little man came to an abrupt end.
I talked about it for a long time, but people didn't know me at all, this is no longer a kind of Cheng dù similar to a hot face sticking to a cold ass, this is no longer a bit embarrassing Cheng dù, Luka Mathis felt like he had been slapped hard, very hot and hot.
Kill.
He wanted to kill him.
The heart of the core furnace is running.
Surgical inscription, basic model construction.
Mental power flows through the mental energy circuit throughout the body, transforms, and finally flows to the fingertips.
The content of the surgical model is copied in reality.
Mental power, which is an "energy source", flows into the surgical model.
Wave chanting, initiating the spell.
A white light that is visible to the naked eye emerges from the fingertips.
Pointing at Charlotte, the anger in Lukmásis' eyes seemed to erupt like fire.
Byron stepped forward and stood in front of Charlotte to block Lukmásis' oncoming attack.
"Lukmásis, you can't do this, the laws of the empire prohibit private fights between apprentices, and the most powerful apprentices in the empire, as well as the apprentices who may become magicians in the future, are all special classes protected by the law. ”
"Hmph, so what, he's just a civilian waste with mediocre qualifications who doesn't even have a mentor, do you think he has the slightest possibility of becoming a sorcerer in the future?
Luke Mathis stepped forward.
Byron stood firm in the present and did not retreat.
The situation is on the verge of eruption.
And in the eyes of everyone, Charlotte, who should have regretted saying the wrong thing and even trembling, made a shocking act again.
Charlotte gently pushed Byron away in full view of everyone, and left his shelter to come to Lukmásis, his chest almost against his glowing fingers, and there was not the slightest hint of fear on his face.
He was laughing.
Laughter is cold.
When he learned about Lukmásis's persecution of Goths and Anne, and when he also wondered why Anne had come to him the day before, apparently to get him back to Goth, but when he learned that he had become an apprentice in magic, he kept silent, and he understood that he and the man named Lukmais were destined to be inseparable.
In that case, then why endure it again, why not break out once as you like.
Of course, he didn't do it for nothing, and in the first month he traveled to this world, he had memorized a huge imperial code by heart, and he knew a few things as a result.
"Lukmásis, I'm standing in front of you like this, do you dare? Do you know what it means to strike at me, an apprentice in the arts? If you forget, then I'll sue you. Article 986 of the Byzantian Code says that a private fight between a sorcerer and an apprentice, with the exception of the battle of the Emperor, is a provocation to the imperial emblem and is punishable severely. Article 1267 says that unilateral and unjustified mutilation of a sorcerer and an apprentice is considered an unforgivable crime, and that the civilian offender is to be hanged and the noble offender is stripped of the title of nobility. ”
Charlotte's words exploded, and all of them exploded into Luke Mathis's ears.
