Chapter 198 Silence or Resistance
As soon as you enter.

Butler Fok Rodney's eyes lit up when he saw Veigar.

He saluted Vega like an old gentleman: "Little brother, I went to the central school to look for you early in the morning, but I was told that you have left the military academy, so let me find you easily."

"Looking for me?" Veigar's eyes flashed doubts.

The butler, Fogg Rodney, nodded and said: "At the order of Miss, I am here to invite you to the dinner party of Rodney's business family tonight. By the way, Miss specially asked me to tell you, don't forget the last appointment." thing."

Vega suddenly realized.

Qi Lisi is going to push him to the front of the screen as a golden sign, maybe after tonight he will have a fiancee in name.If news of getting engaged to a 12-year-old child like him, Qi Lisi would be branded as a scheming girl.

"Little brother, please forgive me for taking the liberty."

Butler Fogg interrupted Vega's thoughts: "May I ask if you have any agreement with Miss? If it is convenient, please let me know. After all, I also watched Miss grow up, and I am still quite concerned about Miss's affairs."

"It's not a big deal."

Vega smiled slightly. He remembered that Qi Lisi had told him that the butler, Fogg, was someone close to his father. Even if this agreement would be known tonight, Fogg should not be allowed to know in advance.

"Sorry, I took the liberty."

The butler, Fogg, didn't mind either. He made a gesture of invitation: "The carriage is ready, and please move to Rodney Manor, my little brother. I think Miss can't wait to see you."

"Let's put this matter aside."

Vega pointed to 'Deceitful Shadow Magic' and said: "I want to buy this third-level shadow magic, but I only have 10000 gold coins, and even if I add a loan, it is still [-] gold coins short, so I want the housekeeper to help me. Hurry up and set aside a period of time, and come over to buy after I have collected enough gold coins."

"Don't be so troublesome."

Butler Falk straightened his face, then turned to the store manager and said, "This gentleman is a distinguished guest of Ms. Qi Lisi, and also an important guest of our Rodney Chamber of Commerce. I will give this gentleman a discount at the price of a senior VIP." Bar."

"Yes, Lord Fogg."

The store manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Vega, "Senior VIPs can enjoy a 5% discount on products. You only need to pay 15000 gold coins to take away this third-order magic."

"Please help me with the loan procedures."

Veigar showed his officer certificate and took out a bill worth 10000 gold coins.

After going through the formalities, Veigar obtained the third-order shadow magic 'Deceitful Style·Shadow' as he wished. As long as he learned this magic, it means that he can withstand 5 attacks without dying in a full state.

"Little brother, is there anything else?" Fogg urged again.

Vega took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "Don't be impatient, Butler Falk, the dinner will probably start at night, you see, it's not yet 12 noon, you can prepare a quiet room for me, wait for six hour?"

This time even Fogg was a little impatient.

However, as a housekeeper, he will not show it anyway: "Little brother, this magic training cannot be completed overnight, why rush it for a while, why don't we go and meet the lady first?"

"It's not urgent, you should help me prepare a quiet room first." Veigar refused to budge.

In desperation, Falk could only ask the store manager to prepare a room for Vega.

After all, if Vega doesn't go, he can't force him to go. Not to mention Qi Lisi's relationship, even the status of an elite officer is enough for him to be afraid of, but in his heart he has scratched Vega and the idiot equal sign.

As a wind magician.

Falk certainly knew how difficult it was to learn magic. He was quite talented, and he had learned one magic for a year and a half, but Vega actually planned to use 6 hours to master one magic.

Regardless of Fogg's gaze.

Veigar walked into the room alone, locked it and started learning magic. In Veigar's view, such life-saving magic must be learned as soon as possible.

----

17:00 in the evening.

The banquet in Rodney Manor entered the countdown stage.

This time, five of the top ten business families in the imperial capital were invited to the dinner. The main purpose was to help Qi Lisi find a marriage partner. It would be even better if Qi Lisi could be sold at a high price. up.

Thanks to the example of Master Yves earlier.

In the eyes of Rodney's patriarch, Leighton Rodney, his daughter Celis is worth a mage's value no matter what.

knock knock --

Leighton Rodney put on a fatherly face when he knocked on Celis's door.

"Father."

Dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, Celis, who looked like a princess, opened the door and said hello to Layton.

"Don't be too polite."

Layton smiled cordially, and then said: "The banquet will start in one and a half hours, I just came to see how you are preparing, and please perform well for tonight's banquet, you are my father's pride. "

"I know my father." A trace of bitterness flashed in Qi Lisi's eyes.

Layton laughed twice and said: "The Portland family has been allied with us for many years, but their patriarch is seriously ill, and I'm afraid they won't live long. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has also decided that the eldest son, Colon Portland, will succeed us. The alliance between the two cannot be broken, you will invite Cologne to dance tonight, and I will also take this opportunity to convey the news of your engagement, you should prepare in advance."

"Father, you know that my body cannot be in contact with others..."

"For the sake of the family, just be patient."

After Layton finished speaking, he walked towards the door, and paused when he reached the threshold: "Don't forget, you are a member of the Rodney family, and the blood of your ancestors flows in your body, for the glory of the family, wait Please continue to be patient after marriage."

boom!
The door was shut tightly.

And Qi Lisi seemed to have been drained of strength, lying on the bed and crying bitterly.

He clearly knew about her mental illness.

The usual contact between hands is the limit of her endurance, not to mention the need to hug each other's waist and dance a social dance that lasts for 10 minutes, which is no less than a torture for her.

why?
Why disregard her pain, let her endure inhuman torture, and even let her endure it for a lifetime?

For the glory of the family, for the future of the family?

If the future of the Rodney family needs to be pinned on her, a 17-year-old girl, then such a damned family, let it live in history with poor glory.

After crying bitterly, Qi Lisi sat back in front of the dressing table and put on an exquisite makeup for herself.

She showed a smile that turned all sentient beings upside down and said to herself: "Glory, faith? Father, you forced all of this. I will take everything from the Rodney family, and I want you to know—"

"Your faith is vulnerable."
