The first thousand three hundred and thirteen chapters seek a way out(1/2)
So, what do people from the Magic Association say?
"Conservatism, you think too much, don't you? Our association does a little bit of this kind of fund collection, but you talk about it being harmful to the Blue Bay Empire? You are too outrageous to label it!"
As these words fell, a rumbling sound was heard from the other side of the podium. It was obvious that someone had hit something.
What made Ariel's heart suddenly lift was the voice of Teacher Connor that came next——
"One person...an association...a small group does this...of course there is nothing wrong with it. But...but!"
"However, your approach... has undoubtedly promoted this money-making model! As long as there are no technical barriers to using this shopping coupon... I believe that it will not take long for many people to follow suit.
Operation! Once there are more people...the wealth in society will definitely be concentrated in a few people or a few organizations! Elder Majik...by that time, will your association still be one of the leaders?
Not necessarily! This kind of thing... so this kind of thing must be nipped in the cradle first! Please... don't do this... okay? I really don't want to make an enemy of you
Something is coming!"
Listening to Connor's slightly trembling and tired voice, Ariel felt that her heart was almost in her throat!
She clutched her chest and pressed against the inside of the desk nervously, not daring to make a sound, let alone breathe. How she wished she could poke her head out and take a look... But even this, she couldn't do it
Less than...
"Elder, he is bleeding."
"Humph, what's this little injury? I think he's planning to bleed us."
Elder Majik's voice paused slightly and said slowly——
"Connor Conservative School, originally, considering that you are still a figure and Lao Teng Shu's reputation, I originally wanted to take you to make money together. But you are so ignorant of praise and blindly want to report to His Majesty
Do you really think I dare not do something to you about this kind of thing?"
At that moment, Ariel's ears stood up even more!
Unfortunately, she could hear nothing except her teacher's heavy breathing.
"Do you know how many kinds of magic there are in this world that can be used to silence people? Do you want to try dark magic? Blood magic? Necromancy? Or natural magic? Or, you want to try alchemy? You should
Fortunately, as an ordinary person with no magic power, you can actually experience so many expensive and amazing magics. You will thank me for making your life perfect!"
"You...don't dare...to do this...! I am...Lao Tengshu's...Dean! Old Tengshu...but...Royal Academy!"
"Humph, the head of the 'Department of Economics'. Also... I think you seem to have forgotten one thing. The full name of Lao Tengshu is 'Lao Tengshu Royal Army! Affairs! Academy'."
For a moment, Connor's voice no longer came out.
Now that she couldn't wait any longer, Ariel gritted her teeth and suddenly got out from under the seat! When she poked her head out, she saw two magicians holding Connor, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
·Conservative, but the elder of the Magic Association now took out a small bottle from his arms, opened it, and an intoxicating sweet smell emitted from it.
"Oops! Isn't this Elder Majik? Huh? It's teaching time now, what are you doing?"
As soon as he heard the outsider's voice coming from the classroom, Majik over there was slightly startled, and the bottle in his hand that was about to be poured into Connor's mouth stopped in mid-air for a moment.
In an instant, Ariel immediately realized that the three magicians in front of her had all turned their heads and stared at her. Being stared at with hostility by the three magicians made her feel a little panicked for a moment, but now she couldn't hide anymore.
That's too late.
Ji Lian, who was also under the seat, now had his heart in his throat. Seeing that his president had been exposed, he could only hold back the cold sweat in his palms and silently pulled out his dagger to see if he could rely on a sneak attack to solve the problem first.
one.
"Ariel?!"
As soon as Connor saw the person coming, an expression of joy appeared on his face. But then, this joy turned into fear, and his eyes kept looking at the magicians next to him.
After Elder Majik recognized Ariel, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He silently retracted the bottle and said, "Who did I ask? It turned out to be Baron Garcia. You should have graduated a long time ago, right? Why are you still here now?"
Appear here?"
Ariel chuckled and said, "Can't you miss your alma mater? Also, I recently undertook the repair and replacement project of the old Tengshu gate. So I stopped by to inspect it now. What? Is there any problem?"
Hearing that this woman had taken over a project, Majik knew that this was the other party's clear intention to tell him that the other party was now connected to many people and that he must not take action against them.
At that moment, Majik snorted and sneered, and said slowly: "Baron Garcia, I am a very old magician, so if I do something dizzy in my old age, you won't mind, right?"
At this moment, Ariel could already feel the sweat on her back soaking through her inner clothes, but she could only hold on and continued to smile: "Then, elder, you should go back and rest quickly? The elderly need more rest.
Don't come out and wander around when you have nothing to do."
"Yeah, that's natural, that's natural. But I heard that Baron Garcia has been very prosperous recently! Since they are all people who like to make money, I wonder if you would like what your teacher said just now?
What’s your opinion?”
Ariel knew that this was the other party confirming whether she would report it to the royal family.
Just kidding, even if Ariel was given more courage, she would not dare to report it to the royal family casually! This is a way to increase enemies for herself! Although she is a member of the royal family in name, it is really hard to tell what the relationship is.
At that moment, Ariel immediately smiled and shook her head and said: "My teacher studies theoretical economics, so everything will only be based on theory. He has never opened a store, never done business, and has never passed his own business.
Knowledge makes a lot of money. Since everything is not practiced, then many things must be inaccurately predicted, and there may even be mistakes, right?"
Hearing this, Majik over there immediately showed a joyful smile, nodded and said: "Okay, okay! He is indeed a top student in the Economics Department! I see, Baron Garcia is already better than his predecessors.
Oh! Your teachers are probably not as smart as you!"
After saying that, Majik glanced at Connor again, the evil smile at the corner of his mouth slowly cracked, and continued: "Then, let's stop here today. Mr. Connor, I hope you can carefully consider what you said and what you did.
.If not..."
As soon as the magic elder raised his hand, Ariel suddenly felt as if her body was controlled by something! Looking again, there were several whirlwinds imprisoning her hands, feet and body! Immediately afterwards, a small
The whirlwind blew directly into her mouth and opened Ariel's mouth. Majik took out the medicine bottle in his hand again and poured it out. The medicine inside immediately followed the whirlwind in the air and poured it steadily into Ariel's mouth.
inside, and goes straight down the throat.
"Cough...cough cough cough!"
After the magic ended, Ariel covered her throat and lay on the table coughing violently. Seeing this, Connor shouted in panic: "You... what did you feed her? She is a royal woman! What...
...If anything happens, come to me!"
Majik put the small bottle back in his arms and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not a fatal poison. It just makes people feel dazed and unconscious, like an idiot, gossiping, schizophrenic, and full of hallucinations. More
To put it simply...this alchemical potion will turn your beloved student into a complete madman. No wisdom, no reason, no self-esteem, no thought will exist."
"Don't think about detoxifying. This poison was made by the strongest alchemist in our association. It will poison you when you enter it. Don't think about inducing vomiting. This time, I believe that even those flower fairies will not be able to detoxify this poison."
"Of course, as long as you behave well and let all the next batch of New Year's pick-up coupons be sent out, I will naturally detoxify your beloved student. It's something that can be done easily, right?"
After saying these words, Majik and his followers immediately turned around and left the classroom happily with a satisfied smile on their faces.
"Ariel!"
Connor rushed towards the student who was lying on the ground coughing in horror. He just stretched out his hand to hug her shoulders, but just as he stretched out his hand, he stopped quickly as if he realized something, leaving nothing but his face.
That frightened and helpless worried look.
"Damn it!"
At this time, William also jumped out from behind the table and chair. He first rushed to the door and made sure that the magicians had finally left. Then he closed the door and came back. He put his arms around Ariel's shoulders so that she could stand up and helped her.
He sat down on the seat next to her.
"President, you have been poisoned! How do you feel now? Does it hurt anywhere? Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"
William kept shouting, but Ariel was holding her throat now, still not recovering from the pain of her mouth being torn apart just now.
After a long time, she nodded slightly, held her chin, rubbed it a little, and then said with a pale face: "I'm poisoned... Yes, I'm poisoned."
After helping Ariel sit down, Cream immediately took out a stick used to explore paths from his prop pocket, poured out some stimulating drugs and smeared it on the small stick, and handed it to Ariel
: "President, no matter what, let's induce vomiting first!"
Ariel nodded, took the stick and put it into her mouth. After stimulating her throat, a nausea immediately made her stomach sour, and she spit out some light liquid.
"Ugh——! Cough cough... cough cough cough... vomit...!"
William patted Ariel's back gently, his face full of sorrow. Connor on the side looked at the close contact between William and Ariel, his eyes were slightly strange, but he still lowered his gaze after all.
on students.
Along with a painful retching, Cream looked at the sour water on the ground and said: "Fortunately, I didn't eat anything in the morning. President, how do you feel now? Don't believe those magicians who say that once you enter the mouth, you can't induce vomiting.
Well, on weekdays, if we assassins notice that something has been eaten or is poisoned, we will definitely induce vomiting as soon as possible! This will definitely reduce the effect of the medicine a lot!"
Ariel took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth slightly, stood up, calmed down, and said, "Thank you, Cream."
Connor also came over with concern at this time and said: "Ariel, how do you... feel now? Majik is one of the great elders of the Magic Association, and the alchemy potions he can produce are definitely not ordinary. Are you still
Can you think? Can you still act normally?"
Ariel covered her forehead and thought about the current situation for a moment.
Perhaps the vomiting just now made her feel a little dazed. She was not sure whether her current malaise was the effect of the medicine or the physical discomfort.
However, although her mind was a little dazed and her body was a little weak, at least she could still distinguish her own behavior. In order to avoid causing more troubles instead of solving one problem because of her own affairs, she said: "Teacher Connor, I
It seems like everything should be fine for the time being... In order to avoid any confusion that may arise next, I want to finish what I want to say first."
At this moment, Connor was looking at his student with tears in his eyes. His face was full of guilt and helplessness, and he could only nod his head with tears in his eyes and said: "Say it! No matter what you say, I will
Promise you...tell me..."
