Chapter 256 Lanqi has been pitiful since childhood

"Master Francis, Miss Zestila."

Lanci bowed to the two of them, then sat down next to Viscount Francis as usual.

"Mr. Lodge, I heard that you go for a walk around town every afternoon. What do you think of this town?"

Viscount Francis asked with a smile.

“It is an excellent city for tourism and settlement, and it has great development potential. As long as we vigorously develop the tourism industry, it will surely achieve prosperity.”

Lanci answered seriously.

Then he realized that Viscount Francis' question didn't seem to mean this.

Viscount Francis was silent for a while after hearing this.

He just wanted to ask Lanqi what it was like to live in this town.

The result sounded like the opinions of the leaders sent by the province to conduct research.

But when I think about the fact that Lanqi's profession is a scholar, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

"I called you here today mainly to ask for your opinions."

Viscount Francis cleared his throat. Since he had waited for Lanqi, he asked the butler to tell the kitchen that they could start their dinner time.

"Zestila, I would like to hire Mr. Rocky to continue to be your tutor. That means he will go back to the Protoss Royal School of Magic with you as your follower. Can you accept it?"

Viscount Francis was actually very nervous.

Sometimes he didn't know whether his words would make Zestira unhappy or hurt her, so he was always very cautious in communicating with her.

If Zestira agreed, he would risk using his authority to obtain an identity for Lanqi in Lilom City, making it easier for him to go to the imperial capital.

Lanqi sat next to Viscount Francis and noticed that Zestila opposite him looked a little reluctant.

But she was also thinking about it and did not reject it immediately.

Although she would never take the initiative to ask Lanqi about the knowledge of magic genealogy and magic engineering, she would carefully read Lanqi's comments on the book every day, and then exchange the magic genealogy textbooks for the magic engineering textbooks every day. When Lanqi finished writing the comments on the magic genealogy textbooks, she would exchange them back with the magic engineering textbooks.

She prefers this self-study method.

However, the teachers at the Protoss Royal School of Magic are not as patient as Ranch, and few people in the Northern Continent have his unique knowledge of magic engineering.

The table became silent because of Viscount Francis' proposal. Even the servant who served the meal felt that the atmosphere was not right. He put down the meal and quickly left.

Lanqi has also learned about the school these days and roughly knows what Zestira is worried about.

The style of the Protoss Royal School of Magic is between Ikerita College and Purgatory Corridor College, but its biggest feature is different from both schools.

First of all, family background and status are particularly important. In addition to being divided into the upper and lower houses upon admission, their teachers and treatment are completely different, and aristocratic students are born with many privileges.

Secondly, the phenomenon of forming cliques among students is very serious, and there are rarely genuine friendly relationships between students.

When talking with the Silver Armor Priest, Lanqi inadvertently heard related things. It is said that sometimes when students of the Protoss Royal School of Magic fight, they not only want to kill their opponents, but may also want to humiliate and torture their opponents before threatening and controlling them. It is a place full of darkness under the rules, but correspondingly, they can also become stronger quickly.

For example, Bishop Nirvana sent the Son of Nirvana to the Protoss Royal Magic Academy to study in a disguised identity. In the end, he graduated with a bloody record and excellent grades, which made Bishop Nirvana very satisfied.

Later, even the Holy Lady of Tyranny died at the hands of the Holy Son of Extinction.

Of course, precisely because the school has a harsh elimination system, the aristocratic students who stand out from the assessment will also have more privileges and preferential treatment, even far more than ordinary teachers.

Not only can they use credits to skip grades, they also have many optional powers, which they can even share with their followers to give them more conveniences in school and better serve them.

Many people in the empire jokingly call this privilege of nobles to bring followers "Servant Summoning" - it's a competition to see who has a stronger family background.

Bringing a useful or powerful follower can make a noble's life in school much easier.

Of course, the follower cannot be higher than level 6, which is the limit for third-year students.

Many high-ranking students and even professors in the school take it as their great pleasure to assess the grades of the nobles' new servants. They even regard servants as summons, measuring their value by their rank and grade.

Zestila originally rejected the entourage arranged for her by Viscount Francis. Viscount Francis was helpless and could only respect her idea. After all, that was her character.

But now, Viscount Francis unexpectedly picked up a magic scholar of unknown rank from the southern continent at sea.

The most important thing is that Zestira is willing to get along with him, so maybe we can persuade Zestira to bring him as an academic follower. She has a serious imbalance in her studies and really needs a tutor who can make her listen.

“…”

Zestilah was silent for a long time.

She didn't really want to bring any followers with her, and she felt more comfortable being alone.

The most crucial thing is that if she cannot gain a foothold in that prison where strength and status are everything, it will not be a good job to be her follower as a half-demon. She may even be implicated by her and suffer many prejudices, discrimination, unexpected disasters and unfair treatment.

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

"Zestila..."

Just as Viscount Francis was about to ask about Zestila's mastery of the magic genealogy and magic engineering course content, he wanted to use this opportunity to persuade her.

"Forget it, Lord Viscount."

Lanci spoke to Viscount Francis in a gentle tone. He seemed not to want to embarrass Zestila.

"I have been plagued by bad luck since I was a child. My family's Chamber of Commerce was also implicated by me and was almost bankrupt... If I follow the young lady to the imperial capital, I am afraid that I will not only be unable to help her... I will only cause trouble for others."

As he was talking, Lanqi seemed to remember something very sad.

The table suddenly became quiet.

Such a heavy topic doesn't seem fake.

The well-educated, gentle and honest young man doesn't look like the kind of evildoer who would curse his own chamber of commerce to go bankrupt.

finally.

"I'm not afraid of trouble. I'm very good at taking care of people."

Zestila raised her head and looked at Lanqi, saying.

"Is this..."

Lanqi hesitated.

"Come with me to the imperial capital and continue to teach me magic genealogy and magic engineering. I don't want to listen to the classes of those teachers in school."

Zestila said, and focused on continuing to eat.

"Thank you, Miss Zestila."

After the two finished their conversation, the table returned to its previous tranquility, with only the occasional sound of the spoon touching the porcelain plate echoing in the dining room from time to time.

Viscount Francis: “???”
