Vol 4 Chapter 33: Can you play cards? (on)

At noon, outside the gate of the Royal Wizards College, Loren met the Grey Saar Wizard who had been waiting here. The two of them, nodding, nodded and walked towards the college.
Even after the death of the imperial minister, the atmosphere in the academy is still orderly and methodical, like a continuously rotating gear, very harmonious.
But ... I can still see some clues.
The wizard apprentices holding books and scrolls hurriedly with their heads down;
Originally very lively, fountains and lawns where loud discussions can be heard everywhere are now empty;
From time to time, the mentor who met them, only slightly bowed his forehead, even after greeting each other ...
"Because of the death of Lord Siscott, there have been a lot of voices against the wizards in the imperial capital recently." Gray Salmer said aside: "There are rumors everywhere that the wizards killed the empire's finance minister . "
"The patrols of the Garrison Corps have searched the academy twice, and a 100-member team has been specially stationed, nominally to protect the academy's security, in fact, for surveillance;"
"The pharmacist ’s guild, alchemy guild and workshop, large and small groups of wizards ... have been investigated to varying degrees, and some have been forced to disband, or they have been knocked down by the fanatics and refugees who have been provoked by the door. To the point of being unsustainable; "
"The apprentices dare not leave the academy alone, and the tutors are self-defeating ... If it were not for the titles of Master Albert and the Royal, this wizarding academy should have been filled with protesters or ordered Is the class closed behind closed doors? "
The dark-haired wizard who followed immediately remained silent, just following in the footsteps of the other party.
"We didn't mean to urge you, and we knew that it would be almost impossible to cleanse Master Lusak."
Gray Salton paused, his voice choked: "But go on like this ... The Royal Wizarding College will be ruined by those rumors!"
"With the royal family as the backing, it is also the foundation of the empire that is as famous as the melting pot college, and the center of the various industries of the imperial capital."
Loren, who didn't look back, said to him lightly: "In any case, your majesty will spare no effort to keep this college, will he?"
"But if that day comes, the rights that the imperial wizards have striven for for hundreds of years, and the status of being able to appear in the Yuqian cabinet will be vanity!"
Gray Thrall ’s expression was heavy, and he seemed worried that Loren could not understand the meaning of it:
You are also a wizard, even if it ’s not for His Highness Brandon, do you want to see the wizard of Sackland fall to Harlow Are the Wizards as tragic as they are ?! "
Loren, who wanted to say something, was stopped by Grey Thrall's hand. The middle-aged wizard sighed sadly: "Sorry, I said too much-you are the wizard of His Highness Brandon. Consultant, you will give priority to your Highness is what you should do. "
"Miss Lena de Salion is now in the innermost study of the big library, the place that was selected by His Excellency Isaac Grantham as his" special seat "; she seems to have guessed that you are back , So I have never left. "
The middle-aged wizard nodded slightly: "Please don't blame her too much, Miss Lina is actually a good person, and she says goodbye."
The dark-haired wizard nodded and turned to walk towards the large library.
............................................................
The study was so quiet that even Loren's footsteps and the sound of pushing the door became clear, and the abundant light also made him evasive in front of the "black frame glasses".
Just at the moment of entering the door, the girl in the sight surrounded by a pile of books raised her head subconsciously. After seeing the person who came in, she sighed and threw the book aside.
The dark-haired wizard was a little surprised: "Do you know me?"
"I don't know, but I know you must have come for Isaac Grantham." Lena de Salion's expression was numb, and she scratched her messy long hair decadently, a fateful look:
"To be clear, how much do you want to lose?"
"Ah?" Loren froze.
"Although I really want to say ... you just beat me up." The girl sighed helplessly: "But who gave me the surname De Salion, and hurt me to the Sky Dome Palace will come to your trouble- -Only in this way can you relieve hatred, and I do n’t have to be beaten. "
"You ... are rich?"
"No, so I can only write a white note for you; how about nine out of thirteen? Golovin has the highest loan shark at this level."
"Can you pay it back?"
"It shouldn't be." The black-framed glasses shrugged indifferently: "But if you are willing to wait, 'Maybe' can give you back."
"..."
In a calm mood, Loren's face showed a just smile: "You misunderstood, Miss Lena, I didn't come here in revenge."
"On the contrary, the purpose of coming down is to compensate for the losses you suffered because of Isaac, and at the same time please help you."
The dark-haired wizard specially said the last sentence very lightly, as if deliberately taking it in one stroke.
"Oh, compensate me?"
The stunned girl seemed a little surprised, and unconsciously pushed the somewhat exaggerated black frame glasses: "This is really the first time someone told me this."
Very good, her attention is focused on the previous one ... Loren has a kind smile on her face, her hands crossed in front of her:
"Isaac ... is a guy with strong self-esteem. It is very difficult for him to admit mistakes in person, especially when he has to admit that he lost to others, so I had to come forward this time."
"I know that this is unfair to you, but I also ask Miss Lena to understand-as long as it can compensate you and is willing to help me with a" small favor ", you can open any conditions."
Although it is shameless to do so, it is still twenty-seven days before the official trial; even if just in case, it is impossible to spend too much time on a witness.
There are still a lot of doubts in the whole case, and I still do n’t know who is the real murderer behind the scenes; in this time-constrained situation, we need to investigate as soon as possible, and we must ensure that the witnesses ... I really do n’t have many choices.
The girl wearing black-framed glasses was still holding her chin in contemplation, and the pair of crimson red pupils that were the same as Brandon's behind the huge frame flashed a strange luster, and the waves of light circulated.
The dark-haired wizard wisely chose to keep quiet, waiting for the last condition of the Miss Lena; she picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a full cup of mint tea.
In this world where you ca n’t drink tea, a cup of fragrant mint tea may be one of the few drinks that can refresh your mind and have no side effects.
"You just said ... any conditions are fine, right?"
The girl raised her head and a pair of red pupils were extremely bright behind the glasses: "So is 'money' ok?"
"No problem, is it cash or real estate?" The black-haired wizard shrugged easily, and the other party's request was so unexpected that he was surprised.
As a wizard consultant and viscount honour of Brandon, Loren's salary is more than double that of ordinary royal entourage, plus the accumulated assets in Shenlinbao and Eboden, he is not short of money at all.
If the other party wants to shop or land ... Although it is not easy to handle, it should still be possible to let the Royal Wizards College think of a way; in order to let Master Lusak clear the grounds of the crime as soon as possible, they should not refuse.
"Cash, my creditors only accept cash." Lena de Salion shook her head numbly.
"Yes, how much?"
"If you change all to silver coins ..." She thought for a moment: "Almost two million."
"puff--!!!!"
Hot tea spewed out ~ EbookFREE.me ~ almost spilled the girl's face.
Loren was really shocked-in Lotel and even in Ebden, the full tuition fee of a wizard apprentice is three thousand silver coins, and his own wizard consultant's salary is about 8,000 a year.
In other words, if you do n’t eat or drink for two hundred years, you ca n’t pay off her debts? !
Of course, this amount of money cannot be counted as such-the royal salaries are not high in the emperors, because most of these people have additional jobs and sources of income, just like the post of Yuqian cabinet minister does not have any salary.
But it also shows how terrible the debt of Miss Lena is ...
"Well, it looks like you shouldn't have that much money, right?" The girl with a numb expression seemed not surprised by this result: "Then you can change the way."
"..."
"Can you play cards, if not, I can teach you."
