Chapter 248: Lanqi's famous teacher's one-on-one training

The next day.

On this winter morning, the morning light shines through the thick fog and onto the marble brick walls of the Lord's Mansion in Lilom City.

This mansion is located at the back of the city, surrounded by exquisite gardens, with mountains and forests visible in the distance. The intricately carved family crest above the gate reflects light, heralding the beginning of the day.

Viscount Francis took Lanci out of the dining room on the first floor of the mansion.

Inside the mansion, the magic furnace dispels the winter chill.

"I hope you can get used to the breakfast style here in the Northern Continent."

Viscount Francis smiled and said, his voice deep and gentle.

"This is the best hospitality I have ever received, thank you."

Lanci responded.

After the two had a pleasant breakfast together, Viscount Francis and Lanqi walked along a long corridor in the mansion. Portraits of successive viscounts were hung on the walls. The carpet was imported from the southern continent. Its complex patterns and colors gave people a warm and peaceful feeling.

"I will have to trouble you from now on. Regardless of whether or not you can successfully get Zesstila to accept her instruction, please don't feel pressured."

Viscount Francis said.

"I will do my best, Lord Viscount."

They finally reached a door decorated with intricate wood carvings.

Viscount Francis knocked on the door gently. There was no response. He waited for a few seconds and then slowly opened the door.

What appeared before them was a stunning private space. Miss Zestira's room was decorated like a small museum, with various books, magic crystals, artworks and antiques neatly arranged.

A large window allows natural winter light to softly flood the room, vividly reflecting the collectible decorations in the room.

And the figure of a young girl was standing next to the desk on the window side of the room.

"This Mr. Rocky is your new tutor. He is from the Southern Continent. I think the culture there is different from ours."

The Viscount stood at the door, holding the door handle, and pondered.

The figure in the room just turned around and glanced at Viscount Francis and Lanqi, then ignored them and continued reading his magic book.

Just like the turn back just now was just to give face to Viscount Francis.

"Mr. Lodge, please forgive me."

Viscount Francis shook his head.

"Leave it to me, Master Francis. Thank you for your family's kindness to me."

Lanqi nodded.

"Then I'll get back to work."

Viscount Francis patted Lanci's arm and closed the door for him.

Outside the window of Zestilah's room, the winter sun gradually rose higher, and a new journey of teaching and learning was about to begin.

Lanqi held the book and walked to another chair in the room and sat down with a smile.

He kept a certain distance from Zestilah, as if to ensure that he would not invade her territory.

Then Lanqi took out a pen and began to write on the imperial textbook, with no intention of giving a lecture.

The figure was still sitting quietly on the long table against the wall. On her head were two dragon horns with a metallic luster as sharp as thin blades. Her dark black hair had a hint of blue-green luster. The most obvious feature in her eyes was her vertical pupils that carried a hint of ferocity and distance.

Boss Cat hid in the shadows and observed quietly. This Viscountess looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. No wonder she was in preparatory school.

But even though she is so young, her magic power is far stronger than Lanqi's, at least at the stronger level of the second level.

It has never seen Lanqi teaching anyone, so it doesn't know how good Lanqi's teaching skills are.

In this way, Lanqi didn't talk to her and she didn't pay any attention to Lanqi, and this lasted for nearly half an hour.

Zestila did not drive her away nor did she stop her reading, as if the new tutor was just another piece of furniture in the room.

But over time, Lanqi became calmer than her.

Zestila, who had been almost motionless, finally changed the frequency of flipping through the book.

She felt a little confused.

Although the new teacher would not annoy her right from the start, she still felt uncomfortable because he kept staying with her and refused to leave.

"Has the young lady had breakfast?"

Lanqi finally spoke, still without looking up, concentrating on the writing work in front of him.

"None of your business."

Zestira didn't even bother to look at him and didn't want to communicate at all.

I said this just to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Anyway, this guy just received a generous reward, tried hard to hide his inner hostility and superiority, and came to teach her, a demon, reluctantly.

Humans were all the same, sometimes harboring more malicious intent than the demons that made her feel sick. Some would try to hide it based on their identity and status, while others would not hide it at all.

"sorry."

Lanqi said quickly,

"I have been of humble origin since I was a child, and I don't know how to talk to the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family..."

Listening to what Lanqi and Zestila said, the cat boss in the shadow thought for a moment.

Aren't you happily traveling with the Duke and Duchess of Hutton Kingdom all day long?

I've never seen you feel inferior.

“…”

Zestila glanced at Lanqi's depressed look.

The room was as quiet as ever.

But in the silence, she felt an inexplicable tingling in her heart.

Normally, it was others who looked down on her, so how could she look down on others? She would never do such a despicable thing.

"have eaten."

After saying this, Zestila ignored Lanqi.

"Thank you."

After Lanqi finished speaking, he stopped talking and continued to do his work.

The originally dim light in the room gradually became brighter, the wooden floor began to reflect a warm luster, and the old clock embedded in the wall ticked, and the sound seemed slower in this warm light.

Just like this, more than ten minutes passed.

"Miss Zestila, can I be your friend?"

Lanqi seemed to have completed a stage of his work. He closed the book in his hand for the time being, raised his head and asked again.

"Who are you?"

Hearing this, Zestira asked back bluntly.

Like a hedgehog's counterattack after being touched.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I'm sorry, I have never had any friends since I was a child and was always bullied..."

Lanqi turned his head away with a depressed look and stopped looking at her.

“…”

Zestilah was silent for a long time.

She didn't know why, but she felt very uncomfortable.

She knows very well what it feels like to have no friends and be bullied since childhood.

This young man, who has an overly soft attitude, is docile and friendly, and indeed seems to be the type that is easy to be bullied.

"If anyone dares to bully you in Lilom City, just tell my father."

She said.

"Thank you."

Lanqi expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Besides, you have friends now."

Zestila added.

"Who is it?"

"I."

"Thank you."

Cat Boss: “???”

Is this kid pretending to be pitiful?

"I have received great care from Viscount Francis, and I have also heard him say that the young lady has great magical talent..."

Lanqi thought about it and spoke with a little hesitation.

"Okay, stop it. It's impossible for you to teach me. This is the only thing that's out of the question. I don't want to learn magic genealogy and magic engineering. I just want to learn practical magic skills. Scholars like you should stop wasting my time."

Zestila raised her hand and refused.

"I'm sorry... I have never had any talent for magic since I was a child, and I'm not good at casting spells."

Lanci apologized again.

Boss Cat suspected that this had become Ranchi's trigger combo! "..."

Zestira finally turned around and stared at Lanqi. She was silent and hesitated for a long time. "How about I teach you how to cast a spell?"

She said.

This way you won’t be bullied.

"Then I'll leave it to you, miss."

Lanqi finally smiled.

"come over."

So, Lanqi sat down at Zestila's long table and listened to her talk about the basic techniques of spellcasting.

…

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Viscount Francis had just finished his work when he came to Zestira's door with a worried look on his face.

According to the secretary, Mr. Rocky was not kicked out by Zestila midway.

"Is it true that he can successfully take classes with Zestilah?"

The Viscount paced back and forth in the corridor outside the door, approaching with light steps tentatively, but not daring to get too close and disturb Zestira.

But it was precisely because the room was too quiet that Viscount Francis was unsure of what was going on.

He couldn't help but listen to what was happening inside from outside the door.

Gradually, his expression became confused.

He put his ear closer to the door, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Until he finally determined the situation in the room.

The Viscount was dumbfounded.

It was the first time he had seen a tutor who could live in peace and communicate in a friendly manner with Zestira.

and……

Why is Zestila teaching him? !
