Chapter 57 Rescue
Chapter 57 Save the Site
It was almost time, and Lin Chen and others sat on the dining table. Soon, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion successively put some delicious dishes on them. At the same time, Lin Chen, the wife of the Marquis' Mansion, also saw a graceful noble lady who was blocking Xia Lu with a worried look on her face. The mother and daughter were whispering that they didn't know what they were saying.
"Xia Lu can come back safely this time, thanks to Lin Chen, you." At the dinner table, Xia Lu's father Nas looked at Lin Chen and said, which also attracted everyone's attention. Although Lin Chen's previous performance made the marquis feel a little unhappy, Lin Chen saved Xia Lu after all.
"Where, Miss Xia Lu has saved me, I just returned the favor," Lin Chen waved his hand and said calmly when he heard Nas's words. After receiving the Marquis' praise, Lin Chen still looked plain and did not seem to take the Marquis' praise seriously.
"This guy has seen the world, but he is too rude..." After being praised by himself, Lin Chen still looked plain, without any slight pride or joy. Nas murmured in his heart, but he was not happy. For the nobles, anyone who is so rude, will never be looked down upon by Lin Chen as a person who is not rude.
"Come on, bring the things up..." Suddenly, Nas shouted, a servant came over with a box. The servant brought the box to Lin Chen, opened the box, and it was filled with golden gold coins. At first glance, there were about hundreds of gold coins.
"What does the Marquis mean?" Lin Chen's face darkened a little as he looked at the gold coins placed in front of him.
Seeing Lin Chen dared to show his face in front of him, Nas also felt an unknown fire in his heart. Although he was not powerful in the imperial capital, at least everyone had to give him three points of face. Now a young boy dared to show his face in front of him. This is no longer something that is not polite.
"It's nothing. You saved the little girl, I just thought it was just a sign." As a marquis, although he was unhappy with Lin Chen's reaction, he did not show it, but his face was also a little cold.
"Sir, Father!" Looking at the relationship between Nas and Lin Chen, for some reason, Xia Lu shouted anxiously from the side, Lin Chen was invited by herself after all. If the relationship breaks out, wouldn't it lose her face? Besides, if Lin Chen is unhappy when it comes back for the first time, will Lin Chen come again in the future? The idea of becoming a disciple becomes even more vague.
Hearing Xia Lu's words, Nas's face darkened, glanced at Xia Lu, and his stern eyes made Xia Lu feel aggrieved and could not speak for a moment. On one side was his father, and on the other side was Lin Chen, who helped him a lot.
Looking at Xia Lu, looking at Nas again, Lin Chen pushed the box in front of him, shook his head and said, "I won't collect these gold coins. I helped Xia Lu, and I never thought about repaying kindness. Don't talk about the gold coins anymore."
Angry, he actually took out some gold coins to thank him. What the other party did was already an insult to Lin Chen. If it were someone else, Lin Chen would definitely leave without saying it.
However, seeing Xia Lu's face looking embarrassed, Lin Chen had to at least take care of Xia Lu's face, so Lin Chen did not have an attack. At least this time, he had to take care of his face. At worst, he wouldn't come in the future.
"The elders dare not say anything. Have you never heard of this sentence?" At this time, a male voice sounded at the door of the hall, and then the young and handsome man walked in with a gentle smile on his face. He first gave a noble ceremony to Nas, who was sitting at the top of the dining table, and said gracefully: "I have met uncle."
"Ha! Rorager! You're here just in time! Sit down!" Seeing the young man walking in, his graceful look, and compared with Lin Chen who looked dull next to him, Nas smiled heartily and said.
The man who appeared was nothing but the young man that Xia Lu and Lin Chen met on the streets of the imperial capital today.
"Thank you for giving the seat," he replied gracefully. Rollag sat down next to Xia Lu, which made the Marquis and his wife smiled with satisfaction. Only Xia Lu looked disgusted, but it was difficult to have an attack in front of her father, so she could only endure it.
"You've done something wrong, friend." After sitting down, Rollag turned his head and looked at Lin Chen with a little complaint: "As the saying goes, the elders don't dare to refuse. Since you have the gold coins you gave you, you can accept them. Otherwise, will this be a shame for my uncle?"
"Yeah..." Looking at Rollag's appearance and being polite, Nas nodded with satisfaction. Whether it is etiquette or reason, Rollag did a good job. It is worthy of being a person from a big family. It's just different. While being satisfied with Rollag, Nas looked at Lin Chen's plain face again, and the gap suddenly came out.
When Lin Chen heard this Rollag deliberately made him look ugly, his face became even darker. If it was really given by the elder, Lin Chen naturally did not dare to refuse, but could the marquis give him gold coins? This was simply an insult to himself, putting himself in a position where he could save Xia Lu by greedying money.
"I said, I don't want these gold coins...", and he still endured it. Lin Chen did not have an attack. Besides, the Marquis's insulting behavior, Lin Chen could not make it clear, otherwise, it would have really caused a severity in the relationship.
"Hmph..." Lin Chen refused even though Rollag said that refusal was to lose his face. This made Nas finally snort coldly, expressing his displeasure. It was just that he couldn't bother with a junior, so he just snorted coldly and said nothing.
Seeing the relationship between Lin Chen and Nas froze, a trace of joy flashed in Rollag's eyes, but he shook his head with an sigh on his face and said, "I didn't expect that this friend, you don't even look down on this little gold coins. It seems that it comes from a big family? Can you tell me about your origin?"
First, he placed Lin Chen at a height that he looked down on these gold coins and said that Lin Chen was from a big family. Then Luo Lager asked about Lin Chen's background again, which clearly meant that Lin Chen would make further embarrassment.
In the past, when someone dared to come in with Xia Lu, Rollag would try every means to make the other party embarrassed in front of Nas. Nas was able to do such things at will.
"I'm not from a big family! I'm just a civilian!" Lin Chen replied, watching everyone staring at him, but the anger in his heart became stronger and stronger.
If Marquis Nas simply thinks that he is unhappy, then this Lorag is deliberately making things difficult for him, deliberately trying to make a fool of himself, and specifically targeting him.
"It turns out that it's just a civilian. It's a mistake for me. I see that you don't like these gold coins, and I think you are from a young master of which family...", smiled disdainfully, and Rorager shook his head and said.
"Hmph!" A civilian dared to look down on his gold coins. Nas' dissatisfaction became even heavier and continued to snort coldly. He just a civilian, he should be humble in front of the nobles, not to mention that he was the marquis of Gundam. Nas felt that Lin Chen's behavior could be considered as a collision with him.
Seeing Lin Chen being run by Lolager for a few words, the relationship became more and more tense, Xia Lu was anxious. She wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know what to say. Lolager's eloquence, like his pharmacist talent, was very famous in the empire.
"My friend has time, so it's better to practice hard. Your current strength is just an intern swordsman, and you don't even have a junior professional title. As a civilian, if you want to make a name for yourself, you can only practice hard. Don't always think about some shortcuts. It's time to stop when you see it's almost done." Seeing that the time is almost done, Rorager pushed the box containing gold coins on the table to Lin Chen and said with a contemptuous smile.
This is a heavy slap. Lorager's meaning is very obvious. You are a civilian. Don't expect to climb up against Xia Lu, the big tree. When you see it, just collect your gold coins and get out.
"Bang!", when did I suffer such humiliation? Lin Chen finally couldn't help but slapped the table, his face turned red. Seeing Lin Chen's appearance, Ates, who was holding anger next to him, was also preparing secretly. As long as he had a fall, he would take action even if he was in the imperial capital.
"Not bad! You should leave with gold coins. Master Rollag is not only the son of the prime minister, but also a core member of the Pharmacist Guild. He has reached the level of an excellent pharmacist at a young age." Seeing Lin Chen's appearance of attack, a servant next to him stepped forward and said, revealing Rollag's identity and want Lin Chen to retreat when he was in trouble.
"Rareless! How can the Marquis' Mansion allow you to go wild??" Seeing that Lin Chen dared to slap the table in front of him, Nas finally found a chance to get angry, and said angrily that there were not many people slapping the table in front of him.
With the marquis' angry words, several guards rushed in and were about to take action...
"Slow down!" As soon as he was about to take action, Rollag said to let the guard stop, then picked up the box containing gold coins on the dining table and sent it to Lin Chen, saying, "No matter what, this friend will only be Miss Xia Lu. It's just that your actions have made my uncle angry. You should leave with these gold coins. As a civilian, you must have never seen so many gold coins in your life, right?"
"Bang..." As he spoke, Rollag deliberately relaxed his hand, the box fell to the ground, and hundreds of gold coins spilled all over the ground. Rollag looked distressed again and said, "Sorry, I didn't take it firmly just now, so you can pick up these gold coins yourself, otherwise you will get nothing..."
Looking at Lin Chen with a smile, Lolagu waited for Lin Chen to bend down to pick up these gold coins. Just a civilian, can he really resist the temptation of these gold coins? Lolagu didn't believe it.
In his heart, the reason why Lin Chen refused gold coins was because he had greater ambitions and wanted to use Xia Lu's relationship to climb higher. Now that things are getting stiff, Lin Chen should pick up the gold coins and leave in shame.
"Report to Master! The Thousand-Man of the Rapid Mercenary Group asked for a visit." At this time, a servant suddenly ran in and reported.
"Captain Taylor? Why is he here?" Nas was slightly stunned when he heard the notice. He didn't understand why the captain Taylor Taylor was here. However, after all, he was one of the four major mercenary groups. Nas nodded and asked someone to invite Taylor Taylor in.
"Swish!", at the headquarters of the Pharmacist Guild, a man rushed to Elder Mocha, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Report to the elder, Lin Chen's relationship in the Marquis' Mansion is in a terrible relationship."
He briefly told the story of what happened in the Marquis' Mansion, which made Elder Mocha, who was refining magic potions according to Lin Chen's instructions, was stunned. Then he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Call Ropa to the Marquis' Mansion, and ask him to go and invite Lin Chen. This is an opportunity. He who is humiliated should choose to join the Pharmacist Guild."
