Leo couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are you so sure?"

"I'm just sure, I don't need a reason!" Alice blinked.

Seeing that the other party looked a little strange, Leo suddenly muttered in his heart: "No, doesn't she like that guy too?"

Alice quickly sensed Leo's thoughts and put on a vicious expression: "Hey, what are you thinking!?"

"It's nothing ......" Leo hurriedly denied it, changing the subject: "I don't need to go to such a thing as an art gathering, even if I raise some artistic fame, it will not be beneficial to the popularization of magic at all." ”

Alice had already made a draft and explained: "Don't underestimate those artists, most of them are from noble backgrounds, and they also include some mages, not idle people who don't have any real power and right to speak, and they can be regarded as a big force in the whole Gaswell." If you get their favor and support, you can definitely raise your reputation and influence to another level. ”

"Art has always been a game for the rich, and that's true everywhere. Leo muttered, and soon remembered something, and said, "Your Highness, the day after tomorrow will start the comprehensive su zhì test, I have been arranged for the first day, if I go out of the city tomorrow to attend the rally, it may be too late." ”

Now everything is not as important as the joint entrance examination, and unlike the preliminary examination in Kaiyan City, one test paper determines the final result. In the examination at the headquarters, the candidates will also be tested for a comprehensive score, including the mental strength, physical condition, and psychological quality of the source sound, and then a comprehensive score will be conducted, accounting for 40 percent of the final score.

"It's okay, I'll arrange someone to pick you up, and I won't let you miss the comprehensive test. Alice shook her head slightly, seeing that Leo was still hesitating, she suddenly sighed and said sincerely, "Leo." I am not commanding you, on the contrary, I am now asking for your help from the perspective of a friend. ”

"What do you mean ......" Leo was very surprised by the other party's sudden low posture, but he didn't know how to respond.

Alice stood up: "Actually, I want to apologize to you, from the first meeting, I forced you to do this and that, but never asked you if you wanted to." Nor ever wanted to know what you were thinking. Leo, now I want to ask you a question, do you have a dream?"

"My dreams......" Leo was stunned for a moment, then stood up and replied, "I do have dreams." ”

"Can you tell me about it. Alice's voice was expectant, but also a little low.

Leo's original dream was to one day return to the blue planet, to the land where he was born and raised. But he also knows that it's almost impossible. And now, his biggest dream, or hope, is his greatest dream. It will allow Isha to never be frightened again, not to be displaced, and to live a stable and happy life. At the same time, he also hopes to do something for the teacher. Let that venerable old man complete the journey of life successfully, leaving no regrets.

And this qiē and qiē all need to gain great strength, Leo said firmly: "My dream is very simple. It's about getting stronger. ”

Alice nodded playfully, and then asked, "How strong do you want to become?"

Leo doesn't really know what he should achieve, but he has a very clear goal: "You don't need to be strong. As long as no one can threaten me and the people I care about, it's enough. ”

"Ha, it's really an ordinary dream. Alice's beautiful blue eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance, and at the same time, she sighed secretly in her heart: "But even if you are a legendary powerhouse, it is difficult to never be threatened." ”

"It's really ordinary. Leo said calmly, "Your Highness, what is your dream?"

"I was born into the royal family, and my father and mother were very fond of me. It can be said that since I was born, I have already had a qiē, so I have no interest or desire for many things. But ever since I came into contact with magic, I've been fascinated by its magic. Speaking of this, a faint sadness appeared on Alice's beautiful face: "But I can't, my bloodline limits me, so I have to give up learning magic." ”

"Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't a princess, so I could easily give up my bloodline. And even if I was born into a poor family and didn't have the opportunity to learn magic, I could still fantasize about wearing beautiful dresses and meeting a handsome prince. As she spoke, Alice turned slowly, walked to the window, looked into the distance, and murmured like a dream: "In that case, I at least have a dream, but what about now......"

At this time, a childish voice came from under the window: "Sister Princess!"

Leo looked over and noticed a boy of four or five years old and two little girls of the same age, playing on the grass outside, with the maid Jennifer with them. He knew that this was an orphan adopted by the princess, and he had met them a few times before, and he had played with them for a long time.

Seeing these lovely children, Alice immediately shook off her depression, opened the window, and said with a smile: "Little Tony, you just ran out to play after eating, did you read obediently in the morning?"

"Yes!" The boy named Tony nodded heavily, and when he saw Leo on the side, he continued in a milky voice, "Sister Princess, I will definitely become a mage in the future!"

Alice couldn't help but laugh, "Why did you become a mage?" ”

Tony raised his little fist and said proudly, "I'm going to protect Sister Princess!

"Who wants you to protect me, Linda, do you want it?" said one girl disdainfully.

Another girl replied, "I don't want it either, Tony just bullied us, so don't trust him." I'm going to become a mage myself, and then protect Linda and Sister Princess!"

"I'm the boy, of course I'm here to protect you!" said Tony, puffing out, and quickly got into a fight with the two girls.

After this scene, Alice's mood improved significantly, and she said to Leo: "Look at them, they have received a good education since they were young, maybe someone will really call them mages in the future." ”

"I'm sure I will. Leo said cooperatively.

"But I don't think it's enough, I want more people to learn magic, understand magic, and use magic. Alice's eyes were full of longing, "My father trusts me, pampers me, and now allows me to meddle in many things. But you know, I'm a woman after all, and sooner or later I'm going to get married, and I'm going to stay away from this qiē forever. So I hope that in the future you can help my brother to continue this matter. ”

Alice put on a mournful expression again and continued, "Leo, are you willing to help a poor woman fulfill her last wish?"

"This warm card is too bloody...... And at my current level...... Her brother?!" The messy thoughts were quickly pieced together, and Leo quickly reacted: "You mean, let me help His Royal Highness, is this art gathering ......"

"That's right, my brother Wells is the founder of this art gathering. You're a smart man, and I won't say anything superfluous. If my brother can promote this matter and achieve certain results, there will be no uncertainties on the road to the throne in the future, and my dream will be fulfilled. Ellie didn't have any scruples to tell Leo what she thought in her heart, "But what do you say, he has a very soft temperament, but at the same time he is very easy to get into the horns, if I come forward to introduce you to him, it will definitely backfire, so I want you to participate in this art gathering, contact him first, at least leave a good impression." ”

First the princess, then the prince, Leo suddenly found that he was sinking deeper and deeper, and if he continued to develop like this, would it be the emperor who appeared next?

Alice didn't give Leo much time to think, and then threw a bombshell: "I heard that you are doing a magical research recently, and the cost must be quite large, I decided to hire you as my consultant, a thousand gold coins a month, what do you think?"

"It's 12,000 a year, enough to buy a complete set of high-quality equipment!" Leo suddenly became excited, but he was very frightened by such a rough connection with the royal family, with his current strength, it was easy to be injured and killed by mistake if something happened slightly.

Seeing that Leo didn't answer immediately, Alice narrowed her eyes slightly: "Not satisfied, alas, but this is already the limit of what I can take, since you don't want to, then ......"

"This cunning woman ......," said Leo, who now did need a lot of money to acquire some high-quality magic tools and materials to complete the thesis he was writing.

"Forget it, anyway, I'm going to the magic academy soon, so I shouldn't get involved in any political whirlpool. Leo sighed secretly and hurriedly asked, "Can you advance half a year's salary first?"

Alice seemed to have expected Leo to agree, and raised her chin and said, "Of course not!

"Where can I escape? Leo smiled wryly.

"I didn't know that the world was so big. Alice slowly pulled out a scroll from her bosom, "Come on, since you agree, let's discuss the contents of the contract." ”

Leo looked at the contract dumbfounded, completely unable to accept that Alice had just returned a warm look, and in the blink of an eye, the fox's tail was exposed. "Woman, indeed, is a very complex creature, and you must not guess with normal thinking. ”

Soon, the contract was written, and to Leo's relief, Alice didn't ask for anything other than to help democratize magic.

Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, Alice suddenly asked, "By the way, there have been rumors recently, there seems to be some kind of forbidden relationship between my brother and Wiki, maybe you can help me confirm it." ”

"This kind of thing should be hard to talk about, but what's the matter with your expectant expression!?" Leo instantly decided that Alice definitely had the potential to become a rotten girl, and his head was covered in cold sweat. (To be continued......)
