Chapter 19: The Master of the Magic Tower (Asking for Votes)
The Lordess's words, Li Aili didn't take it too seriously.
Seriously, if the Marquis Marina can let her divorce early and get the territory and leave, then it's too late to thank them.
At dinner, the Duke said thoughtlessly, "I have nothing to do with the Marquis of Marina." ”
Li Aili cut the butterfly lamb chops and looked at the Duke at the other end of the banquet table in confusion, "Huh? ”
Duke Leng Jade took a sip of red wine, and said with an uncertain expression: "It's okay." ”
Li Aili buried her head and continued to cook seriously.
Today's North Kitchen is a dwarven stew with butter bread from the Elven Forest.
When it comes to stews, dwarves are professional.
"The roses in the back garden are blooming, and the view is nice." The Duke said abruptly again.
Li Aili was full of food, leaning on the high-backed chair and thinking about how to consume food, when she heard the duke's words, she immediately sat up, "Eh, then I'll go to the back garden for a walk~"
It's just that she thought the walk was a lone walk under the moon.
However, the reality is ......
A tall and handsome man walked beside her.
In the moonlight, the two of them reflected a part of each other, as if holding hands.
"If it's inconvenient to live in the South District, you can move to the North District." The duke looked at the sea of roses and said in a light tone.
Li Aili was also admiring the roses in the night, but she was so frightened by this sudden sentence that she almost exploded.
"No, no, no, I had a very nice stay in the South District!"
Arthur Emerald: "......"
"Eh! It's so late, then I'll go back to sleep first, good night~"
Then he took the hem of his skirt and ran away.
For the next two days, the two were like playing peek-a-boo in a sprawling castle.
When it was almost time for breakfast, Li Aili plunged into the [Alchemy House].
When the Duke had gone to the Knights in the morning, he ran out and went into the north kitchen to eat.
When it was time for lunch, she went into the [Alchemy House] again, perfectly staggering the time to have lunch with the duke.
In the afternoon, when the Duke received the civil servants of the Duke's county on official business, she ran into the kitchen again......
Such 'peek-a-boo' lasted for two days.
On the third day, Arthur Emerald blocked her at the door of her room.
The tall and handsome man was covered in armor and stood at the door of the room, blocking Li Ellie's 'little kitten' to death.
He said in a light tone: "I'm going to war." "I didn't say a word about the 'peek-a-boo' for the past two days.
"Ah, there is another war, where are you going to fight?" She remembered what she had overheard earlier, that before the autumn harvest, the knights of the dukedom wanted to start another war.
Hearing this, the corners of the man's mouth hooked, and he smiled a little madly, "Earl McWell." ”
Li Li: "......" wants to finish the ransom and start fighting, is this really good?
The two stared at each other wordlessly for a few seconds, and finally, Arthur Leng Jade turned away without saying a word.
Li Aili ran to the window and watched the duke, dressed in armor, step onto his warhorse.
A group of knights stood around him with banners held aloft.
At this moment, Li felt that their worlds were two completely different worlds.
One is full of iron and fire, and the other just wants to be idyllic.
Therefore, they are limited to transactions and should not be involved in anything else.
Arthur Leng Jade glanced back before putting on his helmet, just in time to meet Li Ellie's eyes.
Li Aili subconsciously waved at him.
The Duke smiled.
Although it is only for a moment, it is handsome and intoxicating.
Li Aili clutched her slightly stalled heart and took several steps back in a row.
It wasn't until she heard the rumbling of horses' hooves that she returned to the window.
"A wise man does not fall in love...... Especially for such men. ”
The owner of the castle left.
Li Elli is back to her old days.
Harvest the back garden every day, make alchemy potions, then research new alchemy potions, and give the failed 'new ones' to the minotaurs.
And so it passed for three days.
On this day, the bored Li Aili finally couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to attack the rose in the back garden.
She really didn't have bad intentions, she just wanted to cut some to decorate her bedroom, and by the way, collect some to soak in a rose petal bath.
'Click', 'click'......
With small scissors in hand, Lee experiences the joy of a barber in the duke's back garden.
However, the sea of flowers that she has 'patronized' is like the top of a middle-aged man's head, full of 'crisis'.
"Madame! Madam! Oh no! Joanna ran with her skirt in hand.
Li Ailie's hand trembled, and she really accidentally cut the duke's favorite 'Rose King'.
Faced with the 'tragic death' of the Rose King, Li Aili was silent and began to think about the feasibility of using glue to save it.
Joanna ran out of breath, "Oh no, husband...... Oh! My God! It's not the Duke's favorite ......"
Li Aili changed the topic with a straight face, "What did you say that it was bad?" ”
Joanna remembered what was going on, "The Lord of the Magic Tower, he's fainted!" ”
Li Elli calculated the time, this old man has been sitting at the Wall of Ice and Fire for a week, right?
Li Aili was surprised: "Oh, he can really resist. "Whoever is saying that the mage is crispy in the future, she is the first not to do it.
Joanna: "......"
Li Aili quietly inserted the 'Rose King' into her flower basket, "I mean, let's go and see the old man!" The god of light bless him, don't let anything happen. ”
Joanna was unsure, "Will the God of Light be willing to favor the magician?" ”
"May the god of magic bless." ”
The Lord of the Red Tower of Jupis was carried into the annex in the forest on the west side of the castle.
Coming from the back garden, Lee happened to see Jupis lying on the bed like a corpse.
Edward Martin stood by his bedside worriedly.
It has to be said that in just five days, Edward Knight has unilaterally cultivated a solid foundation of friendship with this future 'colleague'.
Elle Lee was frightened by the old man's behavior, and whispered to Edward Martin to inquire about the situation.
Edward replied, "At the end of the first day, Jupis was so badly struck that he refused to leave the Wall of Fire and Ice without eating or drinking. ”
"I kept repeating 'this can't be', 'why hasn't it melted yet?' and 'I must be dreaming.'"
Li Aili nodded, analyzing in her heart, this is a refusal to accept reality.
"The next day, I was worried about his mental condition and tried to enlighten him."
"As a result, he lost his temper with me. But I can understand him, if I hadn't had your potion in the first place, I would have been this annoying even if I had survived. Edward was empathetic.
"On the third day, he would ask me for water, but he still wouldn't close his eyes and rest."
"On the fourth day, he started asking me about you."
"On the fifth day, I felt that Jupis was hallucinating. He always jumped up and said the ice was about to melt. ”
"On the sixth day he began to cry," Edward described in his barren language as vividly as possible, "the kind of whoa, the kind of crying." ”
Li Aili nodded, her faith collapsed, and she could understand what she was crying for.
"He fainted when the ice melted just now."
Li Aili exclaimed: "Ah, haven't you closed your eyes and slept for 7 days?" ”
Edward shook his head, "He's afraid we'll throw [Ice Elixir] into the ice wall while he's asleep." ”
Li Aili sighed: "That's really good, I've heard of boiling eagles, and I've heard of boiling myself for the first time." ”
Li Aili walked into the room, took out the 'Rose King' hidden in the flower basket, and carefully inserted it into Jupits's folded hands.
Joanna who saw this scene: "......"
Li Aili asked in a low voice: "You say, let's frame this matter to me, the 'great disciple of the mountain', will the duke believe it?" ”
Joanna: "......"
The voice of Lee Ellie's voice made Jupis 'sit up in shock in his dying illness'.
But it scared her out of the way.
Jupis stared at Li Aili for a long time, and then slammed the bed board, like a strong man breaking his wrist and said: "I, Jupitus, speak my word, from today on, you will be my alchemy teacher!" ”
"There is no Lord of the Red Tower of Jupis in this world! Only the alchemical apprentice Jupits! ”
Li Aili immediately received a hint from the 'Alchemy House':
You have successfully promoted alchemy and gained 100 professional reputations. 】
[You snatched a Believer from the God of Magic, gaining 200 Class Fame.] 】
Ellie Lee: "......"
After shouting, Jupis tilted his neck and fainted again.
