Nydia was a very trustworthy person. Not long after, Maggie received a Black Crystal Card containing 27 million gold coins, which truly made her feel what it meant to become rich overnight.
Holding the card in her hand, Maggie felt dazed, as if she were dreaming.
With so much money from just one match, it's no wonder everyone wants to become the Holy Maiden of Light. The benefits she gained this time are enough to make most people take the risk.
"Your Highness, the president said he hopes to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."
The person sent by Nydia bowed respectfully to Maggie, their tone filled with respect and admiration, probably because Maggie had displayed unparalleled combat ability and talent in the final match of the Magic Tournament.
The talent mentioned here does not refer to magical talent, but to dual chanting, which is an absolutely genius-level ability to study magic.
The fact that he delivered the reward to Maggie so punctually and quickly was partly due to the double chanting.
Actually, it wasn't just the Continental Mage Guild; the Green Tower was also desperately trying to contact Maggie, and Burwin had been so annoyed with her these past few days that she almost questioned her existence.
The aloof CEO in the comics is now like a persistent leech, frequently visiting the temple to meet her, with only one ulterior motive in his words and actions.
Not only did they offer exorbitant compensation, they also attempted to poach talent from other companies.
During the ten-minute chat, besides wanting the double chanting spellcasting technique, he repeatedly hinted that she could go to the Green Shade Tower if she wanted.
The sage was willing to step forward and demand the person from the temple.
These words left Maggie both amused and exasperated. Although they were very tempting, Maggie still rejected his offer.
Of course, she had no reason to leave. She had finally established herself in the temple, and it would be foolish of her to move on to another place and continue to be a slave just because of a single sentence.
Isn't it a favor to have a wise person step in?
The situation will be more complicated then than it is now, since personal relationships are the most valuable thing.
"Please tell President Nydia that I am also looking forward to it."
Maggie pretended not to understand the implication in his words, and simply smiled politely and responded gently.
"The president also instructed me to give you this."
The guild members understood Maggie's subtext. Although it was a bit of a pity, they still handed a pendant to Maggie.
The pendant is shaped like a full moon, with seven symbols of the elements engraved on it, intertwined.
"This is a VIP pass from the Mage's Guild. If Your Highness is interested in cooperating in the future, you are welcome to visit the guild. Of course, if Your Highness is willing to come, you will be our honored guest and we will certainly treat you well."
As expected of someone from the Mage's Guild, he spoke with precision and respect, displaying impeccable emotional intelligence. Maggie didn't feel uncomfortable at all; in fact, she developed a slight liking for him.
If he were a salesperson in modern times, he could probably become a top salesperson.
"Thank you very much, President Nydia."
Maggie smiled and reached out to take it.
This is basic courtesy, a trivial privilege, a basic exchange of courtesy; it would be problematic if she refused.
"The items have been delivered, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, the man turned and left without lingering.
Maggie watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.
In fact, double chanting was no longer a very important skill for her. Even the little ghost was extremely shocked by her talent. If double chanting was still within the scope of what humans could achieve, then triple chanting was an untouchable unknown, as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But Maggie actually learned by analogy and soon figured out the technique of triple chanting.
On the day it finally came true, the little ghost looked at her as if she were a monster, studying her for a long time to see if she was human or some other creature in disguise.
He would rather doubt Maggie's race than believe that humans could actually perform triple chanting.
So much so that Maggie had to prove for a long time that she was a genuine human being.
The reason she didn't actually sell the skills was simple: after all, the little ghost had taught her them, and it would be impolite to just dispose of them so casually.
Anyway, she has plenty of chips in her hand, so this little bit won't make a difference.
"So much money..."
Maggie's mind went blank. Aside from thinking about things, she stared blankly at the card in her hand, muttering to herself.
Even if you convert it to RMB at a 1:1 ratio, it would save her from suffering so much injustice...
"Good day, Your Highness."
Her thoughts had barely drifted away when they were interrupted by a male voice coming from afar.
Maggie looked in the direction of the sound and saw Harlen, dressed in a paladin's outfit, walking towards her.
Harlan looked even more handsome in the sunlight, the warm light shining through his golden hair and onto his striking features.
For some reason, his paladin attire today was exceptionally solemn and neat, with all the buttons meticulously fastened to the top. The overwhelming aura of asceticism made one want to unbutton his clothes.
Take a look at his collarbone beneath his clothes, his well-defined abs, his warm, fair skin...
Looking down, his long, strong legs were wrapped in pure white trousers, and even his walking posture was pleasing to the eye.
"Good day, Commander Knight."
Maggie's gaze returned to Harlan's face. There was no denying that Harlan's face was quite attractive, and she could occasionally lose herself in thought for a moment, especially today, when she inexplicably hallucinated a peacock displaying its plumage.
He looks exactly the same as usual... as if there's not much difference.
However, when Maggie thought of his terrible character, it was like being doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly losing all worldly desires.
"I heard... Her Highness the Holy Maiden has just accepted a mission to the border city, is that right?"
Harlan's voice was as calm as ever, and his smile was as perfect as always, but in Maggie's eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine for no reason.
He's always faking it, and he's faking it now. Something's not right.
Maggie suppressed the strange feeling that surfaced in her heart and nodded without changing her expression.
"Knight Commander, you are very well-informed. That's right, I want to go to the very edge of the temple's faith and spread the God's blessings to other races."
She seemed to radiate holy light as she spoke, truly resembling a devout follower of God.
However, these are all high-sounding excuses. The main reason is that the border city is very close to the Green Forest, so after completing the mission, I can stay there for a while and keep Nesse company.
In addition, there is an important historical site over there.
The demons in the border city are about to riot, and the temple is responsible for part of the defense. It is necessary to send a high-ranking member of the temple to lead the team, but this task is difficult and thankless.
Everyone was happy that Maggie agreed to take on the task.
Father Barton was even a little surprised. Maggie had just shone brightly, so why would she take on a mission that would require her to leave the temple temporarily? It was very detrimental to winning people's hearts.
But he wouldn't refuse; it wouldn't be a good thing for the Holy Maiden of Light to want to develop her power within the temple.
