Chapter 45 Fair Trade

"That's right, Ryan is a Sanctuary-level warrior, and specializes in long swords, you may not know his title yet, but you will definitely hear people mention it in the future. Alice paused and spoke again: "Bloodstained Blade, the former deputy commander of the Imperial Central Army Legion, I think he will undoubtedly make your journey as a battle mage smoother." ”

"She knows everything about me, and even knows that I want to be a battle mage...... Not at all at the same level...... It's too passive. Looking at Alice with a "I'm going to eat you" expression, Leo felt very helpless.

Alice made a clear intention to solicit, and most people would choose to accept it without hesitation if they were in his perspective, after all, the resources at the disposal of an imperial princess were unimaginably strong.

Although Leo was eager to learn the art of a Sanctuary warrior, he was very resistant to it. In the previous life, there was also a relationship between leaders and subordinates, but after all, people are relatively equal. And this world is different, if he accepts the solicitation, whether he admits it or not, he can only establish a master-servant relationship with Alice, and from then on he will be labeled as a princess's retainer.

At heart, Leo is a man who longs for freedom and is unwilling to accept any constraints. This was true in Joseph's Castle, and it is no different now.

Alice could see Leo's struggle, which made her a little stunned.

"Could it be that I'm not sincere enough?" Reflecting on what had just happened, Alice suddenly felt that she understood something.

The boy in front of him is a very special person, so special that it is a little weird. When he saw himself, he didn't have any flattery, he didn't have any bent to welcome, and even when he poured water for him, he was extremely natural, as if it was a very ordinary thing.

He ...... Didn't see me as a princess, but as an ordinary person to talk to...... But where did he get this confidence?" Alice became more and more incomprehensible. I had to find a casual reason to perfunctory myself: "Maybe the real geniuses are all weirdos......

There are too many bizarre anecdotes of geniuses in history, so Alice has no doubts that Leo will be able to come up with those amazing theories and strange appearances.

The room was quiet, and some kind of awkward atmosphere spread.

"You don't seem satisfied. Alice said suddenly, "Yes, after all, you are a mage, so how about adding such an article? I can open up to you the exclusive collection of the Royal Library, including some books that you can't read out of print in St. Lauren." Some ...... are also included Ancient magical texts. ”

......Leo, who originally wanted to refuse, instantly felt his heart beat violently, and even began to be out of breath at first.

In Gaia's history of magic, Antiquity generally refers to the period before the First Magical Havoc, while Middle Ages refers to the era between two magical Havocs. Leo is of course aware of the preciousness of ancient magical texts, and even now there are many mages who believe that the development of magic in the age of ancient magic is still much higher than that of modern times, which is one of the strong evidence. It is a long-lost spiritual growth medicine that has been longed for by countless people.

Leo had tried the potion himself, and of course understood its value, so he was full of yearning for ancient magic. But with the two magical catastrophes, ancient magic has long been lost to history. Only a few documents were left for posterity to speculate. He vaguely remembered that he had heard the teacher mention that a certain mage who was not well-known had successfully analyzed the role of several prophecy ancient magic components, and derived the legendary advancement of the prophecy system "Heavenly Fortune" based on this. In the end, he was directly awarded the title of "Magister" by Lordaeron and will be immortalized in the annals of history.

"Agreed...... It's an ancient magical document, if I borrow the professor and copy them all in my head......" Leo gritted his teeth. almost blurted out that in fact, this price was completely worth it for him to sell himself to the other party.

At the same time, Alice was carefully observing Leo, and from the surprised expression of the other party, it could be seen that he understood the preciousness of ancient magic documents, but this kind of thing that could make the legs of legendary mages weak still failed to make him nod?

"What a stubborn fellow!" Alice glared at Leo hatefully, sighed again, and decided not to delay: "Don't worry, it's just a deal." ”

"Deal?" Leo apparently didn't react right away.

Alice said seriously: "Yes, the deal! is fair and just, and the child is not bullied, so you don't have to have any psychological burden." ”

The last straw that broke the camel's back!

The other party even said this kind of thing, Leo knew that if he didn't accept it again, not only would he be a supreme fool, but he would also be tantamount to slapping the other party in the face!

"I don't think I can refuse your kindness, Your Royal Highness the Princess. He lowered his head slightly, "But I'm only a level 1 mage after all, and I am afraid there won't be much I can do for you." ”

Alice immediately showed a gentle smile: "Strength does not mean a qiē, you are only sixteen years old, and your future development is completely incalculable." What I value is your vision and thoughts, so please stand taller and see farther, and I look forward to your growth. ”

"In the end, I still sold myself...... Even though she said it was just a deal, no one else would see it that way, and I couldn't have taken it as a normal deal. Leo was a little stunned, but excited to see the ancient magical literature in the future.

The two feelings were intertwined in his heart, and he couldn't say what it was like, but his face became calm again, and he said, "I don't think I will disappoint you." ”

Alice nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, that's it." I'm not in a hurry to outline it for a while, just wait until you have time to sort it out. But my commitment will be valid from now on, and I look forward to meeting you in Gaswell. ”

"I'm looking forward to it too. So, I'll take my leave. Leo bowed. Things have come to this point, and the next step is to look at it as you go, but learn from the warriors of the Sanctuary and the ancient magic literature...... It's a bit impatient.

Seeing that Leo really needed to rest, Alice raised her hand and made a gesture of please: "I'll send you out." ”

"You're so polite. Leo said so, but did not reject the kindness expressed by the other party.

............

As she walked towards the lower level of the mansion, Alice asked, "I heard that you want to go to the Riveton School of Magic?"

Leo was thinking about ancient magical texts and subconsciously replied, "Yes, Raventon is right. ”

"Why not St. Lauren? I graduated in St. Lauren, where both the learning atmosphere and the educational power are better than Revington. Alice was a little puzzled, and suddenly realized something, and said dumbly: "You want to go to Reventon, won't it be because of the deeds of that highness?"

Leo looked at Alice blankly, "Which highness?"

Alice said as a matter of course: "There can still be that one, of course, it is His Highness Antonidas." ”

Mentioning this name, which is impossible for every mage puppet not to know, Leo became more and more confused: "What does this have to do with that highness......

Alice raised a delicate eyebrow and asked, "Do you want to go to Roventon, isn't it because His Highness Antonidas once graduated there?"

Leo replied, "Of course not, this is the first time I've heard of this, it turns out that His Highness is actually from the Calente Empire. ”

"There wasn't a Culente Empire back then...... Alice glanced at Leo.

"Okay. Leo shrugged his shoulders and felt a little strange, "Since His Highness Antonidas used to be a student of Ravinton, with that person's influence, why didn't Ravengton become a top academy?"

"Because His Highness has some ............ in his personality How do you say it......" Alice didn't know if it was exhaustive or difficult to speak, but she couldn't say it anymore.

Leo thought back to the rumors of the highness, and had to ask tentatively, "Greedy for money?"

Alice shook her head decisively in dismay.

"Paranoia?" Leo asked again.

Alice still shook her head.

"It won't be...... Lustful, huh?" Leo was reluctant to admit it, but felt that this time he was definitely not far from the correct answer.

"Yes!" Alice nodded her head, "It is said that His Highness's grades have always been the first in the academy back then, but because it was too much, the women of the entire academy were ...... That's why the male teachers hated it very much, and because of that, they were treated unfairly. After His Highness rose to power, he threatened several times to bring down Raventon completely. Although he did not take any concrete action in the end, Ravinton was controversial because of His Highness's remarks, and the situation did not improve until hundreds of years ago. Although there are still some people who go to Revington every year because of His Highness's deeds, the academy still has a long way to go before it wants to regain its former glory. ”

"I see...... Leo felt a little crying and laughing, "but I didn't want to go to Ravington because I worship His Highness, in fact, I studied the Soul Plane Meditation Method, and I have no other choice." ”

............

A few minutes later, Alice returned to the study, and met Ryan's twinkling eyes, and she couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Why are you doing this?"

Ryan smashed his mouth and replied, "Your Highness, your cousin today ......"

"Hehe, I like him a lot. Alice said from the bottom of her heart, and in the course of her conversation with Leo, she re-experienced the comfort and nature that she had not seen for a long time, just like when she entered St. Lauren under a pseudonym to study magic.

However, Ryan's face changed drastically, and he said hesitantly: "You mean...... Like it?"

"No! of course not like that!" Alice glared at Ryan in annoyance, "How old is he!, I mean...... Oops, that's what I meant, you know!"

"I ...... I understand. Ryan grinned, no one actually knew what he understood. (To be continued......)
