Professor of Magic

Chapter 258 Lesson 140 For Myself
Lin Yuan slowly turned his face away, looked at the person for a while, and smiled slightly: "It's okay. I am not only the teacher of the third class of the first grade, but also the head of the mercenary group of the third class of the first grade. You can call me whatever you like. Your Excellency Kaman."

Carmen Blair nodded: "It seems that Mr. Lin is a smart person. I like to talk to smart people, which can save me a lot of effort."

Lin Yuan stared at Kaman and smiled: "When did you know?"

He was not surprised by Kaman's sudden appearance.It would not be surprising if Geron and the Blair family of Fasti City did not know his identity until now.After all, he had never appeared in the Fasdi Principality before, and now he only showed a few faces in this competition, which would not attract the attention of the Blair family.

But Kaman is different. As a person who came from the Kus Empire with him, and has been together for so long, and has seen the students make a move with his own eyes, he now sees Lin Yuan and Sha Luo in the competition. performance, of course there will be doubts.

And Lin Yuan didn't deliberately hide his identity, so if someone wants to check, it's easy to find out.

"I've been suspicious since the last time I saw you in this field." Kaman twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered: "And I, Kaman Blair, want to check a person's background in Fasti City, What's the problem then?"

"I have no doubts about this." Lin Yuan smiled. "But Mr. Kaman, what are you looking for me for? If there is no important matter, I'm going to have dinner with the students." After speaking, he pointed to the students who were looking at this side at the entrance of the venue.

"I just don't understand the purpose of you bringing the students to the Fasdi Principality." Kaman said.He was not lying. When he saw Lin Yuan and the group of students in the competition field for the first time, he became suspicious.After sending someone to investigate, he found out that this guy who he always thought was weird was actually Fenor College, which has recently become famous in the circle of magicians in the Kus Empire and even in the entire Farinos continent. Teacher Lin Yuan.

"If I say that I just took the students out for a walk, would you believe it?"

"Do you believe me or not?" Kaman waited and said. "It's better not to go around in circles, tell me, what are you here for?"

"I said I was just here for a walk, if you don't believe me, then..." Lin Yuan put away his smile. "I said that I wanted to destroy the marriage between your family and the Frye family, do you believe it?"

Kaman frowned, and wanted to say that I believe it, because this answer can completely explain why Lin Yuan brought so many students here and did these things.

But after thinking about this question for two days, he still couldn't think of any reason for Lin Yuan to do such a thing.

From his point of view, as a person who grew up in the Blair family, he must gain benefits from doing anything. What benefits can Lin Yuan gain from doing these things?He is a teacher at Feynor Academy of Kus Empire!

If the two big families know that he wants to make trouble, then he will obviously be hated by the two big families.

Although Mr. Lin is said to be backed by two great magisters, it is still unwise to do so.

"Your Excellency Kaman, if you are asking on behalf of the Blair family, I can only answer that you have no comment." Lin Yuan spread his hands and then smiled: "But I don't think you are either. If so, you are here to ask now." I'm afraid it's not you, it's someone else in your family. If you're just asking on behalf of an individual...then let me tell you that I have no interest in harming your interests. Look, I don't even know about Sloan .Patrick is your man."

The corner of Kaman's eyes twitched, and his originally cold but normal expression immediately became cold and severe.

"How did you know?"

"I forgot." Lin Yuan shrugged. "Actually, you don't need to take this attitude towards me at all. Although what I want to do is a bit harmful to the Blair family, it should be good for you."

Kaman's expression became colder and colder, he just stared at Lin Yuan for a long time, then suddenly snorted.

"I warn you, this is Fasti City, you'd better be honest with me!"

After saying this, he turned around and left.

Seeing Kaman's figure disappear at the corner of the playing field, Lin Yuan couldn't help touching his nose.

"It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know a good heart."

After coming to Fasti City, Lin Yuan learned a lot about the Blair family through Fasno and Vince. Apart from Geron's, the one that attracted the most attention was this one who was known as a genius of the Blair family for 100 years. Carmen Blair.

It is said that when Carman Blair became a ninth-level magician at the age of 27, Bobby Blair, the current patriarch of the Carlisle family, originally intended to pass on the position of patriarch to him.

This move shocked many people at the time. After all, Carmen Blair was not Bobby's biological son, but his brother's second son.If Bobby did this, it would simply break the tradition of the Fastian Principality, and even the nobles of the entire Farinos continent.

If he really did this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but admire, this guy really has a long-term vision, knowing that the continuation of a family ultimately depends on maintaining vitality through competition.

It is a pity that when Kaman was 28 years old, Bobby gave up this idea and still planned to pass on the position of the next patriarch to his sons.

Of course, it wasn't until these two years that it was Geron's turn.

As for Bobby's change of mind this time, in Kaman's view, he was playing tricks on him, and he was naturally full of resentment.

So in the past few years, Kaman seldom stayed in Fasdi City, and spent most of his time outside to complete the tasks assigned by the family. Of course, Lin Yuan knew that he was doing other things.

Although this is the case, Kaman is of course unwilling to give up the position of the head of the Blair family. After all, the power of the Blair family in the Fasdi Duchy is too attractive.

Although he didn't seem to care about it on the surface in the past few years, Lin Yuan certainly didn't believe that someone as proud as him would just stop there.And judging from the eavesdropping that night, I'm afraid he didn't know how many things he did secretly to hinder Bobby's sons.

Originally, Lin Yuan wanted to talk to him when he came to Fasdi City this time, to see if there was any hope for the two to cooperate and destroy this marriage.

But after Kaman took the initiative to run out just now, Lin Yuan dismissed this idea with a few words.

Although this person is very talented in magic and has a city, but he is too proud, and he might not see the benefits of cooperating with him, but the disadvantages first.

So Lin Yuan just stated his position, and didn't bother to say anything else.

Anyway, the work on Jielong's side is almost perfectly completed now, and the main work to be done next is on Natasha's side, and it doesn't make any difference whether Kaman's help or not.

What's more, even if Lin Yuan didn't look for him, wouldn't Kaman cause damage?
Jielong's opponent in the first match didn't just fall out of thin air.

"Mr. Lin, what did that guy tell you?" Seeing that Lin Yuan and Kaman had finished talking, he walked over with his head bowed in thought, Fasno asked.

"Huh?" Lin Yuan raised his head, saw Sha Luo and the students all looked concerned, and immediately laughed. "It's nothing, this guy thought we were here to harm him, and then I told him that we were actually here to help him, and he left after knowing it."

"What made him help him..." Xiu Ni muttered. "Mr. Lin, you didn't speak clearly. But forget it, if you don't let us know, Mr. Lin, then we won't ask. It's more important to eat."

"That's right, it's important to eat. Today is Sara's treat. It's a rare treat. I must have a big meal." Lin Yuan looked ready to do something big.

"Hello..." Sarah gave him a white look. "You look like I've never had a guest. Have you forgotten that I treated you to a meal the second time we met?"

"What? Teacher Lin, the second time you met Sister Sha Luo, she invited you to dinner?" The gossip souls of several girls suddenly burned. "Mr. Lin, you are really powerful. Come on, tell us, what's going on?"

"Just treat me to a meal of fried rice..."

……

"Tuk-tuk-"

"Come in." Natasha replied without raising her head, and then continued to frown and look at the paper on the table.

"Are you hungry? Have something to eat first." With a gentle voice, a plate of delicate snacks was placed on the table.

"Ah, my lord mother, why are you here?" Natasha was startled, only to realize that it wasn't the maid who had been serving her that came in, but her mother, the Grand Duchess Frye.

"Can't I come?" The Duchess showed a gentle smile, her eyes fell on the paper on the table, she shook her head slightly, and said, "Are you still unable to let it go?"

As the Grand Duchess of Frye, although she is not a magician herself, there are quite a few magicians in her daily contact. Of course, she can see that this paper full of strange symbols and some languages ​​​​that she cannot understand The manuscript should be related to magic.

"Should I put it down?" Natasha put down her pen and ink, turned to the Duchess and smiled.

Seeing the smile on Natasha's face, the Duchess was slightly taken aback.

Since Natasha came back from school, she was rarely seen smiling.What's more, this smile is obviously from the heart, not forced out like a few days ago.

Looking at the manuscript on the table again, the Duchess thought that Natasha was so happy because she started studying magic again, so she couldn't help but sighed.

"Natasha, in half a month, you will be married." The Duchess frowned, and continued: "In front of your father, I can't say it clearly, but now I am alone with you, I still say it directly Well, after all, you haven't been in this house for long."

After a pause, he continued: "You have always been an obedient child. You have always listened to what I said to your father. Even this time, you have no complaints about marrying into the Blair family. It's just... "The Duchess gritted her teeth and insisted on speaking. "It's just that Jielong's reputation is really not very good. If you marry him, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot of grievances in the future."

Natasha still had a faint smile on her face, and asked back: "My lord, I grew up in Fasdi City. It's not that I haven't heard of Geron's reputation. And I know very well , you let me marry him, it doesn’t matter who he is, as long as he is from the Blair family, doesn’t it?”

The Duchess was startled, and looked at Natasha again, and suddenly found that today Natasha not only had a heartfelt smile on her face, but also seemed to have some other things, and these things had never been seen before. Saw it on this kid.

Not knowing what was going on, the Duchess suddenly felt flustered.

"Natasha..." The Duchess hesitated for a moment, and continued: "I know, if you had to choose, you would definitely not want to marry into the Blair family, but..."

"I just said, my wishes are not important, aren't they?" Natasha interrupted her here. "Anyway, you just want our Frye family and the Blair family to be united through marriage. I know this very well. My lord, you don't need to say any more."

The Duchess frowned and looked at Natasha. The daughter's behavior today is indeed very different from before.

"You are a smart child. You have seen the family's situation all these years. Your father did this for the sake of the future of the family. It was a last resort. But I still want to say that this time I have wronged you too much. I and you Father... feels very guilty for you."

Natasha tilted her head to look at the Duchess for a while, then suddenly shook her head with a smile: "My lord, you don't need to feel guilty. If I didn't understand this, how could I agree?"

"Yes, you are a sensible and obedient boy." The Duchess touched Natasha's head and sighed: "Except for the matter of going to Feynor College to study, you have never violated our will. Yes By the way, speaking of Feynor College, I haven't asked you yet, how was your year in the college? Are you happy?"

"Are you happy?" An undisguised smile bloomed on Natasha's face when she thought of the days of studying with Teacher Lin and her classmates. "Of course I am happy. I have grown up so much. I have never been happier than when I was in college."

"Then... in order to let you marry into the Blair family, you were forcibly terminated from your studies at Fenol College. Have you ever blamed us?"

"I complained." To the Duchess' surprise, Natasha nodded affirmatively. "Growing up so much, I managed to find the world that should belong to me in another country's magic academy, but you interrupted me abruptly. Of course I will complain." Immediately shrugging, relaxed She smiled: "But who told you to be my parents? Besides, this is something I have accepted myself, so if I want to blame, I can only blame myself."

Teacher Lin is right, if he is unwilling to fight for himself, then he has no right to blame others.

After hearing Natasha's words, the Duchess didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, the reason why she came to see Natasha suddenly this time was because she heard from the servants that Natasha seemed to be in a much better mood these days. Toss something.

Of course, the duchess just saw these tossing things. If she reads correctly, she seems to be writing something about magic.As for why Natasha's mood suddenly improved, the Duchess came to see it herself, but she still couldn't figure it out.

It would be unbelievable if her mood could change so much just because she started studying magic.

Although she knew that Natasha had the talent of a magician when she was very young, she didn't like learning magic very much since she was a child. She was able to become a first-level magician when she went to Feynor Academy, but it was because she was forced to send her to the Fasdi Royal Palace when she was a child. The result of learning in the academy.

In less than a year after going to Feynor Academy, she was able to get so obsessed with magic that she felt happy whenever she studied magic?The Duchess would not believe anything.

So is it because she has been back for such a long time, and she really started to accept her fate of getting married, so she thought about it and her mood improved?

Before coming, the Duchess did think so.Before she married the Grand Duke Frye, she was also in a low mood. Although the Grand Duke Frye did not have a good reputation like that Jeron Blair, being forced by the family to arrange her marriage was something that was absolutely impossible. Things to cheer up.It's just that ladies like them who were born in noble families, even if they had ten or eight boyfriends at the same time when they were young, their marriages still had to obey the family's arrangements.

Also because of this, the Duchess understands Natasha's depression a while ago better than anyone else.

But after seeing Natasha with her own eyes and talking with her for a while, the Duchess felt that the facts were very different from what she had guessed.

It is true that Natasha's mood has improved, but the Duchess can be sure that the reason why her mood has improved is not because of her own thoughts.Even though she didn't care too much about this daughter since she was a child, she still knows her personality very well.Her comment on Natasha's "sensible and obedient" is not casual. Natasha was far more mature than children of the same age when she was very young. She can often understand her parents' thoughts in advance and rarely embarrass her parents.

To give an obvious example, when I was at Fasti Royal Academy, Natasha annoyed the current Grand Prince because of a little incident, but this incident was not Natasha's fault, it was clearly His Royal Highness picked it up himself.If it was any other child, she would definitely not let it go, and would have to contend with His Royal Highness, but Natasha did not. She even took the initiative to apologize to His Royal Highness, calming down the small disturbance by herself.

When the Duchess asked why she did this, she just replied "I don't want to trouble my parents".

For such a child, the Grand Duke and his wife are of course very reassured about her, and they are sure that she will accept the arrangement of letting her marry the Blair family.

And since she has this kind of personality, and she has known about this matter for a long time, even if she was depressed after returning from the academy, and now she is getting better again, she shouldn't change so violently all of a sudden.

The completely different smile on her face made the Duchess feel that she had indeed figured out something, but it was obviously not because she accepted the fact, but something else.

"If you want to complain, you can complain. Your father and I can't do anything about it." The Duchess thought for a while and decided to emphasize what she had said many times. "The Frye family is getting worse every year. His Majesty the King hinted at your father a few days ago that he wants him to step down from his current position and give it to someone else. But you also know that our Frye family, Now besides your father, only your second brother is serving as the general of Fasdi City. None of the others are promising. If your father really stepped down, I'm afraid... I'm afraid we can't From now on, the Lai family will no longer have any power to speak of in the Fasdi Principality."

Speaking of this, the Duchess sighed again. She had said this to Natasha many times, but every time she said it, she was still worried.

The Frye family has been going downhill these years, and everyone has seen it. Now that the Grand Duke Frye is still there, it is okay to say that when the Grand Duke Frye loses power, the entire Frye family will definitely plummet. Enemies in the country, whether open or covert, will certainly not have any sympathy to keep, I am afraid that the fate of the family members will be unimaginable by then.

As the Grand Duchess for so many years, she has seen too many tragic situations after the family lost power, and it is by no means like the Frye family also fell into such an end.

She and the Grand Duke are not unaware of the reputation of the Blair family, but apart from the Blair family, which other powerful families are willing to marry the declining Frye family.

"So for the sake of the family, it is necessary for me to marry Jaylon Blair this time?" Natasha chuckled lightly.

The Duchess was taken aback for a moment, and was about to shake her head, but then remembered something was wrong, and wanted to nod again, but found that something was still wrong, and she was stunned for a while.

Seeing her mother's clumsy performance, Natasha no longer felt the sadness she used to feel in her heart, she just felt a little funny.

"Mother, as I said just now, you don't need to feel guilty, because..." Natasha blinked and smiled, "I have decided not to marry."

"Not to marry?" The Duchess was taken aback immediately. She never imagined that the obedient and sensible child she was talking about just now would actually say that she would not marry after she reiterated the meaning of marriage. ! "Natasha, are you kidding me?"

"This is not a joke." Natasha shook her head. "I just want to understand that it is better for me to control my own destiny in my own hands. To sacrifice for the family, I have to be really willing. What's more..." Natasha's mind turned to that night. Yuan showed her the information, smiled wryly and said in a low voice: "This sacrifice may not be meaningful, is it?"

"Why doesn't it make sense?" Seeing that the expression on Natasha's face really didn't look like a joke, the Duchess said eagerly: "You just said that you are very clear about the significance of this matter to our family, why now... "

"What does it mean to me?" Natasha asked rhetorically. "Mr. Lin is still right. I am a person, not a commodity. Don't say that this transaction may not be good for the family. Even if it is, I can't just agree with it so simply."

Like Natasha's left hand, a magic circle appeared at the bottom of her feet, and with a flash of light, Xiao Bai suddenly appeared at her feet.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly seeing a huge wind wolf appearing out of nowhere in front of her, even the Duchess was startled even though she had known about Xiao Bai's existence for a long time.

Natasha glanced at the bright sky outside the window, smiled slightly, and replied, "I just want to work hard for myself once."

Regardless of the duchess' reaction, she picked up the manuscript on the table and turned over to sit on Xiaobai's back.

"Ouch-"

Xiaobai raised his head and let out a long roar, several small whirlwinds rose from his four feet, and then with a bow and a flick, he led Natasha out of the window and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The Duchess stayed there for a while, then her complexion changed drastically, and she turned and ran downstairs.

Fortunately, the Duchess had experienced all kinds of major events after all, so she didn't yell like ordinary women, but when she went downstairs, she almost stumbled and fell down.

There was only one thing on her mind.

"Oops, Natasha is disobedient."
