It's usually normal, but today when he was working, he always vaguely felt that someone was watching him, but when he looked up, he could only see Shatiya looking down at the manuscript, and there was no one else in the room.
However, Shalltear's bangs were a bit long, and Langdon couldn't see her expression clearly because of her glasses, so he thought it was his own illusion.
But after a few times, Langdon finally confirmed that it was not a hallucination, so he stopped what he was doing helplessly: "Charles, are you in any trouble?"
Langdon guessed that Shalltear should have something to say to him, but she couldn't open it... Maybe it was because she wanted to ask him for some help, so she was so hesitant, otherwise it was a normal topic, given their current situation Friendship, you should have said it straight away.
When Mao Maosong's secret observation was discovered, Shalltear did not panic, but calmly came up with an excuse she had thought up a long time ago: "Actually, my academic research has reached a bottleneck, and I want to go to the library of the Imperial School of Magic. Checking the information in the library..."
Her external identity is an alchemist, and it is normal to have academic research. Before Langdon asked her if her help all day would affect her research.
"That's all." Langdon readily agreed, "Okay, give me the book list, and I'll check to borrow it for you. What's the point of embarrassing you for such a long time? Use your research time to help I, now encountering difficulties, can I still reject you ruthlessly?"
Xia Tiya's reason is also very reasonable: "After all, I am not from your country, and I am worried that I will cause you trouble."
Langdon comforted: "Don't worry, books that cannot be read casually will definitely not be placed in the loan area, and if you want to read them in the school, you need to apply for them, and the more important books are all in your personal secret collection... Ah, speaking of this."
After hesitating for a moment, Langdon said, "We have cooperated well during this time, and I happen to be short of an assistant officer. Would you like to consider joining me formally? It will be convenient for me to apply for you at that time, and you can enter with me." School."
Shalltear was surprised and emotional.
When she faced Helena before, she had pretended to be Langdon's secretary in order to stop Helena, and now Langdon directly invited her with a higher-level position.
But the problem is-
"... Isn't it a little too casual?" Shatiya couldn't help asking.
Langdon showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Ah, yes, it seems a little casual, because I think the topic is just right...Maybe I should change to a more formal occasion..."
"No, I didn't mean it's casual." Shatia pushed down her glasses helplessly, "I mean—you don't know me at all, right? You're a grand duke anyway, recruiting people so casually, why don't you investigate? "
Langdon raised his eyebrows: "I'm waiting for you to tell me, otherwise it would be too rude to investigate you in private. So, do you think there is anything wrong with you?"
Shalltear, who had investigated Langdon in private, couldn't help but adjusted her glasses guiltily: "I..."
She knew that Langdon had always thought that she was just an ordinary exiled Salieri nobleman who came to the August Empire to seek refuge with distant relatives. The biggest expectation of her was that her family was destroyed and homeless during the civil strife, and she didn't know what happened to her. There are other risks.
Thanks to her scumbag brother, she is no longer an ordinary prince in exile, but a prince in exile who has been offered a reward.
That's why she kept her name incognito, she didn't even dare to reveal her gender, she just didn't want to cause trouble!
Langdon treated her so sincerely, but she couldn't return the same honesty to Langdon.
This made Shalltear feel a little strange and uncomfortable.
Charles Valéry, who made friends for the first time, had the urge to confess everything.
Shalltear Sarière, the exiled princess, thought calmly. From the perspective of interests, she must not reveal her identity, which is of no benefit.
Langdon saw that there seemed to be something hidden in Shalltear's hesitation, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You really have a problem? Did you offend some important person?"
"Probably." Shalltear took advantage of the situation and vaguely leaked a little bit of unimportant information, "The prince of a certain country."
"Prince..." Langdon thought for a while, "Let me ask, you want to agree now, but you are worried that the prince will cause trouble, so you refused because you were afraid of getting me involved?"
Shalltear hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.
Could it be that she wants to study from scattered teachers all over the world?
Doesn't she want to improve herself in one place safely and concentrate on research?She dare not!
In order to keep her from getting too anxious about it, the old deacon even made some good-sounding excuses for her having to move around. For example, there is a sage in a certain country in the east that is good, and there is a sage in a certain country in the west. A magician wants an apprentice...
The August Empire's blockade of magic teaching made this country unattractive to Shalltear, and she came only because Roland paid her for help.
I didn't expect to help Roland appraise a piece of goods this time, and even get to know Langdon, and let her stay here for such a long time... Her deacon often urged her, and she was worried about staying in the imperial capital for too long, and she was also afraid of any accidents.
It's a pity, but I'm afraid she really can't stay here for too long. With Langdon's kindness, she can only—
"If it's not the prince of the August Empire, I don't think there is any need to worry about getting me involved."
Langdon said briskly: "As you said, I am also Grand Duke Stuart, and foreign princes can't control me. When he becomes emperor, he may be able to talk to Augustus. Your Majesty negotiate."
Shalltear was stunned for a moment: "...Huh?"
"I know that the duke of your Kingdom of Saliere just sounds nice, and you have a fief in name, but the management right still belongs to the emperor, but I, the duke, is equivalent to a king in my own territory, and even His Majesty has no right to interfere."
Langdon complained: "Don't give the illusion that I'm just an idle noble just because I stay in the imperial capital all day, I've been dealing with official duties all the time!"
Xiatiya said slowly: "One, I forgot if I was not careful..."
She was too worried, always subconsciously thinking about the worst outcome, but accidentally ignored the differences in national conditions.
"By the way." Langdon pondered, "Does the person you offended understand your character?"
Xia Tiya sighed: "It should be regarded as understanding..."
Langdon snapped his fingers: "Then you should come to be my assistant officer!"
Shalltear was confused: "Why?"
"I heard from Roland that you have been traveling around to study, right? Now that you think about it, you should be avoiding the enemy. Think about it, since according to your own habits, you want to interfere with the enemy's judgment by changing places frequently, then I understand you Your enemies must understand your policy—”
Langdon poked the paper with the tip of his pen, and persuaded him with a smile: "The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. Your enemies would never have imagined that you would take the risk of being exposed as an assistant to a duke, after all, just like you As you said, normally you will be investigated for employment.”
Shatia was convinced: "It seems to be true...'The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place', this is a wise saying!"
"Besides, with your character, you definitely won't commit any crimes like murder. I am capable of saving you for ordinary problems."
When Langdon said this, the high-spirited look seemed to be shining in Shalltear's eyes, making her subconsciously believe his words.
Langdon is very powerful. He has a deeper understanding of people's hearts than those famous sages. Since it is his analysis, it should not be wrong.
Yes, if Langdon is willing to be her protector, in fact, she doesn't have to worry about many things...
"Well, are you willing to agree now?"
"I would like to—"
Shalltear almost agreed in a trance, but reacted abruptly, and bit her own tongue to stop the hasty answer.
what happened!How did you get persuaded without knowing it? !She clearly swore to the deacon yesterday that she would leave the imperial capital in two days!
— Sebastian!This one is exactly what you said!It's terrible!
[ps: It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket!I will start adding more tweets the day after tomorrow! 】
39. Don't try to find a reason to beat him up, right?
"I, I'll think about it again."
Shalltear firmly guarded her bottom line, and did not give it in vain on the spot.
Langdon was a little bit regretful, but he could tell that Shalltear was already moved, so he said considerately: "Indeed, such an important matter still needs time to think about it, it doesn't matter, I will always reserve the position of assistant officer for you." on."
Shalltear nodded movedly: "Thank you."
Langdon said briskly: "You're welcome, after all, you are already doing the work of an assistant officer anyway, otherwise I won't be able to go back to school with peace of mind."
Xia Tiya was also a little worried when she heard this: "Is it really okay if you don't go to class all day and come outside the school?"
"Most of them can be done by reading textbooks and self-study. There is no need to waste this time, just calculate the attendance rate."
Although Langdon was not considered a top student, he was still considered a good student, especially after being trained in exam-oriented education in his previous life, the theory classes at the Imperial School of Magic were all pediatrics to him.
"But the practical class won't work..." Langdon glanced at his schedule, "Well, for example, the martial arts class in the afternoon, I have to be able to attend classes in school."
Although it is a magic school, sports must be assessed everywhere, and the reason for putting it in a magic school is even more sufficient.
After all, if you encounter a situation where you don't have time to recite the spell, you should at least run away to save yourself, right?
Or if you run out of magic power under special circumstances, at least you can use swordsmanship to protect yourself.
In the previous life, if you stretched your hips, you would fail the exam at most. In this life, if you stretched your hips, you may lose your life.
What's more, since the graduation exam in the second grade, you already need to go to remote areas to do tasks to prove your strength. If you don't study hard in martial arts, and you don't exercise and only know how to go to the library, you may not be able to graduate by then.
In any case, for Langdon, who feared for his life, this lesson was absolutely unavoidable.
And he sits in the office all day approving documents, this class can be regarded as an opportunity to force him to move his body.
When he returned to school and chatted with his peers on the lawn of the martial arts class, Langdon's mood was still relaxed and he didn't notice anything wrong.
"Who will teach us this time?"
"I don't know, anyway, Mr. John went to do missions when he was born..."
Unlike other theoretical classes where the teachers are relatively fixed, the teachers of the martial arts class often change.
The teachers of the martial arts class are not limited to magicians with high levels of martial arts. After all, in terms of martial arts, people with magic assistance will definitely not put too much effort into martial arts, and the purpose of the Imperial School of Magic has always been to recruit people from all over the world. The strong ones - they all entered the school to be my teachers, and even if they didn't take major classes, they would go to the upper grades to accept a few personal students.
This is also one of the attractions of the Imperial School of Magic.
The problem is that this kind of high-level martial arts teacher is in his prime, and he will have a mission from time to time. At this time, he has to change his teacher.
So in the past two years since Guang Langdeng entered the school, he has already introduced swordsmanship, knife technique, and melee combat. If he wants to improve in a certain area, he can only wait for the corresponding teacher to come back to class.
Langdon listened casually to the students guessing which teacher it was this time, until he saw a figure that shouldn't be here approaching them, his expression gradually froze.
The visitor was petite, with black hair and black eyes, a doll-like delicate face with no expression, slender limbs with no traces of exercise, and the skin exposed between the black shorts and calf socks was dazzlingly white.
Around her waist and thighs were several leather armor belts, used to secure a sword that was too long for her and a pouch for small items.
Someone has already recognized it from the embroidery on the neckline. She is wearing the uniform of an imperial knight.
"Hmm... Hello, everyone." Lolita Knight said lazily, as if she hadn't woken up, "I'm Lilica, your martial arts teacher."
Langdon: "..."
Although he was stunned for a moment, Langdon soon realized why Lilica was here.
There is no doubt that it is because of the game hero Lei Shidong.
In the game plot, both Lilica and Flora came in after the hero of the game entered the school. One is a teacher of martial arts, and the other is a teacher of astrology and a student at the same time.
When playing the game, Langdon only thought it was a normal plot development of a love game. After all, wouldn't there be no chance if we didn't meet each other?
But now that he attended the council meeting, Langdon knew that this was just a game between the temple and the emperor.
It is estimated that the emperor felt that Lilyka, as a lifesaver, had a lot of face in front of Lei Shidong, so he let Lilyka enter the school to win over Lei Shidong, so as not to be monopolized by the temple.
...But to be honest, Langdon felt that based on what he knew about Lilica's personality, let alone a win-win, it was considered good that she didn't offend the Son of Prophecy...
But after thinking about it, Langdon felt that this might be his own prejudice.
Maybe Lilica doesn't treat others like he does?
Maybe what Lei Shidong saw was the kind-hearted heroine Lilyka with a cold face and a warm heart?
Alas, thinking about it this way, I feel even more miserable...
No matter how hard he tried to persuade himself to be more careful, Langdon still felt a little bit uneasy when he thought of Lilica's vengeance. He didn't understand how he offended Lilica.
Although Lilica doesn't look like a very powerful person, being able to enter the Imperial Knights is already an indication of the problem. The students obediently call her Teacher Lilica, waiting for the formal class.
Lilica was also a teacher for the first time, but someone should have taught her a little bit before she came to class, so she said decently: "One of you has a sword and fights with me. I want to know your level."
Everyone went to the props room on the side to get the basic configuration of the long sword, and while warming up with the sword, they chatted in small voices.
"This teacher is so cute. He speaks softly and has a cute name."
"Are you going to fight her later? I'm so worried about hurting her, she looks so small..."
"You are sober, that is an imperial knight! The real age is definitely not so young, it should be of mixed blood?"
Langdon warmed up with a cold face, and prayed in his heart that Lilica would not give him any trouble during the class.
It turns out that the more you worry about something, the more likely something will happen.
Some students asked: "Teacher! Who will start first?"
Lilica recovered from her fugue, she didn't care about exposing her past with Langdon, and said casually, "Langdon."
Everyone looked at Langdon.
Many people's eyes are filled with "Do you know her?!", "Why did she call you by your name directly", "What's your relationship"...
Langdon: "..."
The relationship between him and Lilica may not be as romantic as these people think.
Didn't Lilica want to find a reason to beat him up in front of so many people? ! !
