Chapter 28: Required Skills for Traveling Through People 2
He stared at Lorraine closely with a look of contempt without saying a word.
Lorraine faced him calmly, still with a faint smile on her face, without the slightest hint of panic.
After a while, he saw that the old mage was still silent. He hesitated for a moment, then leaned into the old mage's ear and said again: "I will issue you a fake invoice for six thousand gold coins."
Lester's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his aura was as fierce as frost and a sword.
Lorraine did not flinch and looked back at him calmly.
After a moment, Lester suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low and cold voice: "I really didn't expect that the descendants of the dignified Longyacao family would actually act like this. He said it so boldly, but the matter was done.
So unbearable.
I originally thought you were a good young man, but I couldn't bear to see you sink like this. So I gave you a chance and held back your voice. I hope you can find your way back. But I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. It's really a waste.
It took so much effort from me.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. His gray hair kept swinging back and forth in the air, which showed how heartbroken this great magician was.
Lorraine sneered and said calmly: "I'll give you another five hundred gold coins as a kickback. If it doesn't work, then I'll take it down~!"
The old mage glanced at him, squeezed out two words through his teeth, and said: "Deal~!"
He reached out and took out a beautifully bound small book, filled in the numbers, and signed his name at the bottom. Then he stamped the bottom with the ring on his hand, and finally signed the
He tore off the paper and handed it over, saying, "You can take this money order and exchange it for gold coins in any city with an Imperial Bank."
Because it was about shining gold coins, Vera had already forgotten her fear due to the instinct of the dragon gene in her body. She cheered, jumped out from behind Lorraine, and took the money order first.
He went over, turned it over in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said in surprise: "It's really amazing that such a piece of paper can be exchanged for gold coins..."
When she turned her head and saw Lorraine's angry eyes, she realized that she had made a mistake again. She hurriedly stuck out her tongue, then slowly lowered her head, a little unwillingly, but obediently raised the piece of paper to her head.
, whispered: "I'm sorry, Master. I...I was wrong again."
Lorraine couldn't hold it in any longer, raised her hand and gave her a slap in the face. She cursed, "If just apologizing is enough, why should I build a dungeon, Master~!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much." Vera let out a low cry of pain, but she knew she was aggrieved, rubbed her head, and stood aside honestly.
Lorraine snorted coldly, took the piece of paper from her hand, glanced at the numbers on it, and her expression suddenly changed.
He came close to the old mage and whispered: "What is written here is seven thousand gold coins~! I said Lao Lei, you are too dark. Although the government does not take advantage of it, it is not free. But it is too much.
But it’s unjustifiable. You know, those bastards in the Imperial Supervisory Department are not just for free.”
"Don't worry, no matter how long their hands are, they can't reach us. Besides..." Lester glanced at him indifferently, and then said softly: "You know? I have never seen someone as capable as you."
A young man who speaks so clearly about selfishness and is so upright."
Lorraine couldn't help but froze for a moment, muttering in her mind, was this old guy praising me or scolding me? She subconsciously looked up at the ground, looking for bricks everywhere.
Lester was completely unaware of the evil intentions of the bastard opposite him. He sighed and continued: "If you weren't such a bad boy..."
Having said this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "If it weren't for you, a stubborn old man like me would be indifferent to worldly affairs and would only hide in an ivory tower to do research.
I never would have thought that this is how things should be done in the world."
He pointed at the few disciples who were following him and said with emotion: "There were many disciples who studied with me at first, but later on, only a few of them were left. I thought it was those people
My mind was not firm enough, and I was very angry about it. But now that I think about it, maybe I have a lot of things wrong with me."
He paused and then said: "These disciples have followed me and suffered a lot. But they are dedicated to studying, and some of them don't even care about taking care of their families. I have always thought that it is okay to make sacrifices for the sake of studies.
I should. Now I realize that I owe them too much."
As he said that, he slapped Lorraine hard on the shoulder and said: "I don't want that money either, just take out a thousand and give it to them. You can accept the rest. No matter what, we will never do it again."
We cannot let a hero shed tears after shedding blood."
When Lorraine heard this, she couldn't help but feel shocked. She was a little moved in her heart. She was thinking about whether she should cash the money order and give the old man five hundred more... No, it's still three hundred, no, it's still one hundred.
, one hundred gold coins would be enough.
After the old mage returned to his original position and sat down, he took a sip of the beer that was brought to him, and then said: "This wine is good."
Lorraine smiled and said, "Of course. The wine I have here is the best within a few hundred miles. If you think it's right, I'll send you a barrel later."
"Then I'd like to thank you very much. But..." The old mage nodded, then put down his wine glass and said, "But let's get down to business now. Lord Earl, you have already collected the money. Can you please give me the money now?"
Could you please tell us in detail what happened?"
Lorraine sat down opposite him and thought about it for a moment. Then she turned around and saw Vera's nervous face again. She was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what the girl was worried about.
He couldn't help but laugh secretly, and then said tentatively: "Master Lester, if I tell you, my seventh sense has really evolved, and the small universe has exploded..."
Lester waved his hand and said seriously: "Your Excellency, your words are not believed even by your own men. So there is no need to use them to deceive us, right?"
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said, "Okay. The truth of the matter is this. I was having a friendly and honest conversation with the dragon at the time. I told her, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'
'A human's life...well...a dragon's life should be spent like this..."
In a word, I have to talk to her sincerely and hope that she can change her ways and do more good things for the people.
At this time, the Lich appeared. He first injured me, and then planned to forcibly make a soul contract to subdue the dragon. I grabbed the contract by accident.
Then the dragon's parents arrived, and they easily defeated the lich in just one turn.
…
Finally, I accepted the dragon as my servant. It is now Vera."
He briefly told the story, but deliberately omitted the identity of Vera's parents. In the end, he was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he pointed at her.
"Wow~! Master..." When the poor girl thought that she might be arrested and dissected, her face turned pale with fright and she almost cried.
The magicians sitting across from each other looked at each other and whispered.
"This guy is really good at boasting."
"Yes, it would be a pity not to be a writer."
"..."
Lester glanced sideways at the girl with misty eyes, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Your Excellency, you are a little out of touch. You have already received the money. Why are you still making up stories to deceive people?
Do you really think we are all fools?"
Lorraine blinked and said loudly with an innocent face: "Master Archmage, I can swear to God that everything I said is the truth."
Lester was so angry that he held the staff in his hand, and suddenly a blue light emerged from the head of the staff and spread in all directions like water waves.
He looked at Lorraine and said coldly: "We are all magicians, please don't insult our profession. That girl is a dragon. Have you ever seen a dragon without magic? Have you ever seen such a timid dragon?
Really? You took the money but didn't do anything. This is simply fraud. Please return the money order to me."
Lorraine sighed in her heart, knowing that no one would believe her truth.
Seeing the sharp eyes of the old mage, he hurriedly stuffed the money order into his arms, raised his hands, and said: "Okay, okay. What do you want me to say?"
Lester stood up, meditating, and walked back and forth in the hall several times. Finally, he suddenly burst out laughing and said: "You bad boy, the story is true and false, and I really can't do anything to you."
Relax your guard."
He turned around, looked at Lorraine, and said: "Combined with the results of our on-site investigation, plus your story that is true but also false. Let me tell the story again, do you think it's right?"
He pointed at Lorraine's nose and said: "You did go to the scene, which is correct. You were caught by the lich, because the wounds on your body prove it, which is also correct. Later, a dragon did come again.
At the scene, this is correct. But there is only one dragon instead of two. And what happened afterward was also ridiculously bad."
He paused and said confidently: "I think before the giant dragon rushed over, the little dragon might have had a battle with the lich. The situation at that time can prove this. We even found the lich from the scene.
Some fragments of the demon's original body.
But later, the little dragon was defeated. The giant dragon rushed over in time. The giant dragon was indeed powerful. When it arrived, it broke the lich's phylactery with just one sharp blow.
The lich fled away, and the giant dragon fired another blast of thunder, but it missed the lich and flattened an entire hill.
Later, the giant dragon took the little dragon back."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Lorraine. He found that he had a look of dementia on his face. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Excellency, am I right?"
