Chapter 256: Too Much to Refuse
Half an hour later,
Although Grein continued to supply magical energy, the inheritance crystal gradually became dim and no longer shone.
Seeing this scene, instead of being disappointed, everyone looked at the protagonist of this incident with fiery eyes.
Grein understood that it was not that there was a problem with the inheritance magic crystal, but that the inheritance magic crystal had already completed its first use.
So he stopped transmitting magic energy and looked expectantly at Akraev, whose eyelids were twitching slightly.
At this time, he was standing among the crowd, surrounded by circles of mages, pointing at him and commenting on him.
Of course, their topic mostly focused on how much knowledge Akilev would gain in his mind after inheriting the inheritance.
Although after an hour of baptism, Akilev's strength increased from level 73 to level 76, leaping a full 3 levels!
But what these old scholars care most about is whether the content of the inheritance is true.
Even though they knew the chances of being cheated were small with the testimony of their disciple Lin Miao, they were still very nervous.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Akilev still did not wake up.
His face showed various devilish and obscene expressions one after another, which made people unable to bear to look at him.
Grein held his forehead with his hand, his expression extremely grim.
If this guy hadn't accepted the inheritance, he would have been kicked out long ago.
a shame!
Lin Miao is still here. If you act like this, won't you ruin the reputation of our Aklan Empire?
Is my Royal Research Institute still among its peers?
Grenn's rage value is up!
On his side, a fat old man couldn't help laughing and squealing like a pig: "Hahahaha...
Glenn, is this the kind of person you chose?
Look, while accepting such an important inheritance, he was still thinking about such despicable things. Is this acceptable?
If you ask me, let the Candlelight Research Institute take over the evaluation of the next candidate, what do you think?"
The person to inherit was first discussed by the cabinet ministers and finally decided by old Arthur.
However, due to uncertainty about the inheritance of the scroll system and disbelief in the news, the major colleges and research institutes did not take it too seriously.
Suffered a great loss!
However, the Royal Academy, encouraged by Davis, chose to believe it at the first opportunity and made sufficient preparations.
So, when the cabinet needed to decide on candidates, the Royal Academy took advantage of the situation and grabbed all the experimental spots in a lightning speed.
At first, the forces that didn't get a spot didn't care too much, but later, with the appearance of the mysterious eighth-level scroll, they regretted it deeply.
Because after they saw the scroll, they immediately understood what "really delicious" meant.
How could a mysterious and powerful person with such accomplishments lie to others?
There’s no need!
Now that there is an opportunity to squeeze the Royal Academy and snatch a place, how could these shrewd old thieves not be excited?
"Brighton, you old man, don't even think about the spot I have.
If we let your research institute come here, I'm afraid they won't even know how to activate the inheritance magic crystal, and all we'll give you is a piece of beautiful waste stone!"
Grein retorted mercilessly and didn't look at him in a good mood.
Are you kicking someone when they're down?
I’ll definitely kill you if I don’t spray you to death!
"Bah!"
Brighton gave Gray a sarcastic smile and said seriously, "Don't think you can show off just because you know a few tricks. I'm also at the peak of the eleventh level. It only takes me a few minutes to figure out how to use it!"
"Well then, would you please let Dean Brighton show us his skills?"
Gray didn't let him do anything. He spread out his palm and suspended the magic crystal in the air, wanting Brighton to show his strength.
Having said that, Brighton shut up with a dark face and stopped asking for trouble.
As soon as the words fell, someone else said unconvincedly, "Inheritance is related to the national system. This is a serious matter. If the Royal Academy can't do it well, is it not enough for us to help out of kindness?"
The choice of successor this time had already made them dissatisfied.
If they don't seize such a great opportunity, who knows how long they will have to wait to obtain the knowledge of the scroll system?
Before Grein could speak, someone immediately retorted:
"Bullshit! The inheritance of the scroll system is so important, can your research institute handle it?
If you ask me, we should let Qingkong Academy take over.
The successors selected by our academy are all descendants of royal families, excellent in both character and learning, and patriotic and devoted to the people...it is only natural that our academy should select them."
"If you say so, then our Noble Palace Academy is more qualified!"
"you……"
With someone taking the lead, the researchers who came here immediately became excited and began to speak well of the forces they belonged to.
It is said that good things should be kept within the family.
If the successor is chosen from the force they belong to, then research will be much more convenient.
No one wants to see others sleeping with the Dragon Slaying Technique every day, while their own family can only watch helplessly and sit on the bench.
Moreover, the major forces not only covet the scroll-making technology, but also admire the powerful strength of "Lorraine".
If they could recruit a strong man of Lorraine's level, it would be possible to make money by selling the scrolls, let alone spending money to buy them.
Thinking of this, these people couldn't help but feel annoyed that they had only sent a small representative to the meeting.
Not only did he fail to meet Master Lorraine, but he also helped Davis.
I don’t know why this guy is running so actively. Does he have inside information?
It is said that colleagues rely on reputation.
As the Minister of Military Affairs of the cabinet, he is of course more respected and respected than the representatives sent by other forces.
Can this be compared?
His face turned black as he watched everyone quarreling with each other just to replace the Royal Academy's selection qualifications.
He subconsciously glanced at Lin Luo and said softly, "Mr. Lin Miao, in fact, the people of our Aklan Empire are simple and honest, and they treat others humbly...
In fact, this kind of quarrel is relatively rare.”
He didn't want Lin Luo to misunderstand the various forces in the Aklan Empire because of this scene, which would have a negative impact.
Thoughts such as being of bad character and unworthy of one's position can be very deadly.
This will undoubtedly affect their subsequent cooperation and whether it can proceed smoothly.
"It's okay, I understand." Lin Luo didn't say much.
This was an internal struggle within the Aklan Empire, and as an outsider, he had no right to interfere.
As for the question of style… there are people who swear in the Federal Parliament, isn’t that just their true nature?
Lin Luo didn't care too much. He sat leisurely aside and watched this good show.
The reason why Akirev fell into a coma was that too much knowledge suddenly flooded into his mind. His brain could not bear the load and passively activated its self-protection mechanism.
And his dream (illusion) also appeared under the catalysis of the concentration magic circle.
It will take about half an hour to wake up.
Listening to the murmurs from Akilev's mouth, he was also very interested.
"Has his life always been so... uh, so miserable?"
"No."
Davis was at a loss for words and explained to Lin Luo, "Aklev is a decent guy in every way, except for some peculiar habits..."
"What fetish?"
"Well, the women he likes are all widows, and he said they are good friends." Davis's face was full of embarrassment.
This hobby is a bit too special.
Lin Luo: “!!!”
…
The first inheritance was experimental, and the chosen Akelev was just a commoner, so even if something went wrong it wouldn't matter.
Of course, it would be better if it could be successful and safe.
But now, the authenticity of the inherited magic crystal has been confirmed by Grein, which has made these forces even more impatient.
The quarrel among the crowd became more and more intense, but at a certain moment, they suddenly turned their fiery gazes to Lin Luo.
He suddenly shuddered and silently put his hands behind his back, ready to use the system to teleport away at any time.
Brighton left the unconscious Akhlev, pushed through the crowd and walked straight towards Lin Luo.
His face was serious and he said sincerely: "Mr. Lin Miao, on behalf of the Candlelight Research Institute, I would like to invite you and hope that you can come to visit us.
This is a small token of my appreciation, I hope you don’t mind.”
As he spoke, a stored-value crystal card appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Lin Luo by pinching the corners.
He knew that the Aklan Empire had already raised its hoe, ready to dig out this potential stock.
Therefore, he did not make a wishful thinking to recruit him, but instead settled for the second best and hoped that Lin Luo would visit his Candlelight Research Institute.
His goal is to build closer relationships and increase opportunities for cooperation.
An imperceptible glimmer flashed in Lin Luo's eyes. He put away his thoughts of watching the show, nodded and smiled, "If I have time, I will go."
How can you not take the benefits that are offered to you?
Isn't it Lorraine's idea that these forces want to make friends with him?
Everyone gets what they need, just what they want!
Seeing Lorraine accept the crystal card, Brighton's face lit up with joy.
There's hope!
"Mr. Lin Miao is so straightforward!"
He smiled and praised, then whispered in Lin Luo's ear: "The female mage of our Candlelight Research Institute is proficient in the rules of fire, has a slim and hot figure, and a passionate personality.
If Mr. Lin Miao could spare some time to come over, I believe they would be very happy.”
Then, Brighton smiled a smile that every man could understand.
Although he was somewhat tempted, seeing everyone's eager eyes, Lin Miao could only cough lightly and said, "Dean Brighton, you're joking. I'm definitely not the kind of person you think I am. Don't make such jokes next time."
joke!
If he agreed, he would definitely be labeled a lecher and it would be very likely to become known to everyone.
At that time, how would Lin have the face to chat up other girls?
What's more, the Aklan Empire is not without targets to attack, so Lin Luo doesn't need to be so desperate.
Both Altria and Cecilia are top-notch girls, with beautiful figures and stunning looks. If they can be arranged...
Aren’t domestic flowers more fragrant than wild flowers?
Lin Luo couldn't help but smile.
He has a big heart and can easily accommodate so many girlfriends.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he will not end up like Makoto after succeeding.
After Brighton succeeded, other forces also wanted to gain recognition and followed suit.
"Mr. Lin Miao, this is a gift from Qingfeng Academy. Please don't despise it."
"This is a gift from Shuiyue Research Institute. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
"Mr. Lin Miao, this is for you. You might be interested in this..."
Everyone spoke one after another, their tone so gentle that even Grein was stunned.
How come you guys are so good at this?
Is it because I’m old and can’t keep up with the pace?
After everyone's flattery and greetings, Lin Luo has received forty-three stored-value crystal cards, twelve keys to the female student dormitory building, and six keys to the female research institute dormitory.
In addition, these sensible guys even provided the appearance rankings and corresponding contact information compiled by various forces.
You are so good at it!
While Davis was envious in his heart, he couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Shameless guy!
These old men and women are just using despicable means!"
Then,
Davis forced his way into the crowded crowd and ran to Lin Luo's side. With a smile on his face, he whispered to Lin Luo:
"Mr. Lin Miao, there's one thing I haven't told you yet. Look at my memory..."
"To avoid suspicion, Her Highness the Princess cannot come to the meeting room. Therefore, Her Highness hopes to meet you at the Princess's residence."
Your Highness the Princess?
Davis was the old minister whom old Arthur had entrusted with the care of his son. The princess he was talking about should be Altria.
Lin Luo smiled and pretended to be ignorant and asked:
"Princess? Which princess? I remember clearly that I don't seem to have any contact with any princess."
But he looked "confused", and his acting was very real.
Perhaps for safety reasons, Artoria did not tell him that she was the princess of the Aklan Empire.
Therefore, Lin Luo should "not" know her true identity at this moment.
"I'm sorry, Her Highness the Princess said... you'll understand when you get there."
Lin Luo didn't reply, but nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.
Originally, he was planning to use magic weapons to contact Artoria, but looking at the current situation, the other party probably has everything ready.
At this moment,
A muffled groan suddenly sounded.
"Fuck, was that a dream?"
Akirev was sleepy, but the smile on his face had not yet faded.
After looking around, I couldn't help but be stunned.
The old men and women all looked at him eagerly, the heat in their eyes almost swallowing him up.
Grein grabbed his arm tightly and said with a smile, "How do you feel now, kid?"
"Aklev, do you feel anything strange? Are there any extra spells or scrolls of knowledge in your head?"
“…”
Everyone was talking at once, and Akhlev's already confused mind suddenly became even more confused.
What do you mean?
At this moment, the silent Lin Luo suddenly said something for no apparent reason:
"Congratulations, the operation was successful! You have become a lovely girl!"
Akerev's pupils shrank: "!!!!"
He was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands involuntarily reached down.
Fortunately, I'm still...
Akirev breathed a sigh of relief and his mind became much clearer.
Seeing this, everyone looked at Lin Luo in surprise.
Damn, this young man!
What a clever guy!
