Master Tongtian

Chapter 259 Phoenix Tail or Chicken Head (34)

Both O'Brien, the master of weapon refining, and Princess Hayley Sonja, who travels in a low-key manner, are the real big shots in the North.

Since he is a big shot, he must be treated well.

Well, let’s not mention the benefits. At least I won’t cause you any extra trouble.

After seeing off Sir Mason, who had completely offended him to death, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dinner time.

Rosen had already made arrangements, and a welcome dinner was held in the lobby of the lord's private residence.

The long banquet table in the hall is naturally made of stone, but the surface is covered with a thick layer of coarse silk cloth as decoration. The chairs are specially customized from Silver Moon Castle and are high-backed benches made of fine red sandalwood.

Because Rosen is now the mayor, not the lord, the top position on the long table is vacant.

According to the rules of the North, as the lord's first deputy, he sat in the first seat on the right side of the long table.

On the left is his wife Thrandis, followed by Gendeloni, followed by Harrick, the most effective deputy mayor, and the last one is Rosen's newly recruited chief disciple, Bernard Shaw.

The right side is where the host sits, and the left side is where the VIPs sit.

The first one naturally belongs to Princess Hayley Sonja, then Master O'Brien, and then the master's most capable assistant, the high-level mage Ms. Leia.

Now that the market in Crescent Town has been initially launched, there may not be many other good things on the market, but there is no shortage of local delicacies from the mountains and rivers.

The staple food is naturally soft wheat bread, and there are five dishes, all of which are local delicacies from Crescent Town.

There are fresh star-patterned venison that was hunted just in the morning, silver saury soup that is a specialty of Yuexi River, black matsutake stew collected in the early morning when the dew is still wet, as well as baked egret eggs with herbs, and the last dish is fresh emerald silk.

The wine is naturally the most famous high-grade moonshine wine of Silver Moon Castle. It is produced in the year of Yaoyue. It costs 50 crowns a bottle. Pour it into a cup and shake it, and the moonlight will spread all over the table.

Hailey Sonja tasted the silver knife fish soup and praised: "The fish meat is tender and tender with a hint of toughness, the soup is rich and delicious, and the chef's skills are really good."

Gendeloni already knew the identity of Hayley Sonja and said with a smile: "This was all trained by Rosen himself."

O'Brien also felt that the dishes were delicious and he could clearly feel the owner's intentions, so he felt respected and was in a good mood.

He just laughed: "Oh, Master Rosen is also good at cooking?"

Rosen smiled: "My wife has a rather tricky taste, so I spent some time researching in my spare time. Unexpectedly, I actually made some small achievements."

O'Brien laughed: "Master Rosen's small thoughts, if applied to ordinary people, it would be a big thought that has been pondering for many years."

As the scope of circulation of Liushu becomes wider and wider, the wisdom of the inventors of Liushu is naturally highly respected by the people. Everyone says that they are messengers sent by God to spread wisdom around the world.

Speaking of Thrandis.

She was enjoying the food quietly.

Her social phobia is much relieved now, but she still doesn't like talking in front of strangers.

If someone looked at her, she would respond with a slight nod.

After chatting for a while, Haili Sawyer looked at the vacant seat: "Why is this guy Xia Bolai not in the territory? Did he go out to wander again?"

Rosen shook his head: "Of course not. As you know, Marshal Fubos has been lobbying the major lords in the highlands recently, hoping to get more support."

"In this case, Lord Xia Bo Lai naturally could not wait in Crescent Town, so he took the initiative to win over more allies."

Haili Sonja had a general understanding of the situation in the highlands and nodded when she heard the words.

"It sounds relatively reliable, but I highly doubt that Chabolai will take the opportunity to act mischievously outside."

"I'm sure he won't."

Hayley Sonja said casually that she didn't care about the political situation in the highlands. She was concerned about Rosen and Thrandis.

To be more precise, they are two inventors of flow.

After cutting a piece of tender venison and tasting it carefully, she began to reveal the real reason for her trip.

"You must already know that my true identity is the dean behind La Farea College."

There are two deans of the college, one is the honorary dean in front of the stage, and there is an archmage who is not a son of God.

A behind-the-scenes dean must be a son of God to ensure the Duke's absolute control over the academy.

Speaking of this, her dark eyes turned between Rosen and Thrandis, and she continued.

“As the oldest, largest and most accomplished academy of arts in the North, keeping up with the trends of the times is the biggest secret to the academy’s vitality.”

"Today, flow numbers, as the most advanced and powerful mathematical tool, have spread not only in the Northern Territory, but also to all major fields in the Golden Land. Every mage who wants to make a difference is learning flow numbers."

"Some people think this is the greatest invention of this era, while others think the foundation of Liusu is not solid yet, but no one can deny the power of Liusu."

"Therefore, the college not only needs to offer fluency classes, but also invites the strongest fluency instructors to teach the most comprehensive and profound new knowledge about fluency."

As she spoke, she smiled lightly and said, "Obviously, there is no more suitable candidate than the inventor of Liushu."

The princess has made her intention clear.

Rosen and Thrandis looked at each other, and Thrandis shook her head slightly, saying that she had no idea because she hated teaching people in class.

Rosen actually had no intention of going to Winter City to be a mentor, because he had no foundation in Winter City and would have to start from scratch.

In addition, he also heard that the Ice Duke was a brutal and rude guy who lacked respect for mages and believed that spells were just juggling tricks.

The Duke wields the divine sword Winter Sun and is a mortal with extraordinary power, so he is naturally qualified to think that magic is a juggling act.

But such a contemptuous attitude is enough to show that the status of the mage of Winter City is not high.

If you leave, you will neither have freedom nor have a great future.

Hailey Sonja vaguely guessed the two people's thoughts, but she was naturally prepared.

"I know that the pursuit of both of you is not just to become a magic professor, and it is impossible for you to leave Crescent Town, which you have worked so hard to manage, for no reason."

"But since I'm here, I naturally don't want to attract the two of you with my position as a magic professor. I have brought enough sincerity."

After saying that, she turned and looked at Master O'Brien. As the vice president of the college, the latter put down the carving knife in his hand and began to explain the recruitment conditions in detail.

"After arriving at the academy, you will be lifelong magic professors. The academy will set up two special master teaching positions for you, with a fixed salary of 10,000 crowns per year."

"Please note that the price is 10,000 yuan per person, and the lecture fees are not included."

"In addition, the college will also give away a 10-year-old vacation manor near the college, with all the necessary facilities for a decent life, as a residence for the two of them."

"Except for four one-and-a-half-hour classes each week, you are free at other times. You can go wherever you want and do anything that does not violate the law."

"Finally, we don't require you two to leave for Winter City immediately. You can wait for another three months."

"I believe that by then, the political situation of Silver Moon Castle will have been stabilized, and the mayor will have become a baron."

To be honest, this sincerity is really enough, and Rosen was a little moved when he heard it.

But going to Winter City, even just for a sojourn, means leaving Crescent Town behind.

Although this is not a nice place, it was built by Rosen with great effort. When he becomes a baron, it will become his family territory.

He has a lot of development ideas for this territory.

Now, there are two choices.

First, go to Winter City and start over, carefully earning a living under a great lord who despises mages.

Second, continue to be a lord in the highlands, keep your word, and be free to do what you want.

A phoenix tail and a chicken head.

To be honest, Rosen was leaning towards the latter, because he had finally found an environment where he could focus on spell research, and he didn't want to go to Winter City again.

But you can't offend the princess.

If the other party adopts the strategy of being polite first and then attacking, without giving yourself any room to refuse, then you will be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, he said: "Your Highness, Master, my wife and I are very honored by your kindness."

"But this is a big deal that will determine the future of our lives, and we have to think carefully before giving an answer."

After a pause, he said: "If you two don't mind, I hope to give a clear reply tomorrow morning."

This is considered an emergency, and Rosen needs more information for reference.

He planned to find someone to carefully understand the situation before making a final decision.

Who to look for?

Naturally, he is a relative of Hayley Sonja.

His hesitation was natural, but facing an invitation from La Farea College, and having already given such generous conditions, but still having to consider it, O'Brien felt a little unhappy.

"Master Rosen, are the conditions given by the academy not high enough? It doesn't matter, you can raise it and we can negotiate."

This attitude made Rosen feel uncomfortable, as he felt that the other party was determined to win.

He shook his head slightly and explained earnestly.

"Master, the conditions of the college are already very favorable, which makes us very excited. However, when we decided to run Crescent Town, we made a series of plans for the future."

"If I agree, it means that all my plans have failed. I feel a little disappointed in my heart, so I am a little hesitant."

O'Brien understood and looked at the princess.

Hailey Sonja also nodded: "Then tomorrow morning."

The business was done. After dinner, Rosen arranged for the three distinguished guests to rest, and then gathered with a few people in the hall to discuss.

Thrandis said: "It doesn't matter where I go, I am where you are anyway."

Gendeloni also nodded: "Me too."

Bernard Shaw had just returned from Winter City and became the chief disciple. In the blink of an eye, he might return to the academy in Winter City. He felt that his fate was really weird.

But he is now Rosen's direct disciple. Before he became a disciple, he naturally went wherever his mentor went.

Harrick's face was filled with emotion.

"Rosen, to be honest, although I know that you have an extremely bright and glorious future as a professor of magic in the academy, and you will not leave until you become a baron."

"But if you leave Crescent Town, I will feel empty and uncomfortable."

"Crescent Town is a magic town. Without you as the mage lord, I'm afraid there will be no future. The current prosperity will soon disappear and return to mediocrity."

Rosen could understand Harrick's disappointment and raised his hand to pat his shoulder.

"I will consider this matter very carefully, and even if I have to leave eventually, I will make appropriate arrangements."

Harrick sighed: "There is no way to have both worlds, but I will not interfere with your decision. No matter what, I support it."

"Hey, let's not talk anymore. I'm going to rest first."

Rosen thought for a moment: "I'll see you off, Harrick. I'm also a little confused, so I happened to stop by the temple to pray for God's guidance."

No matter what, you have to ask Alfroya what she thinks about this matter.

After all, Alfroya was directly demoted from the regional holy spirit to the small town holy spirit for him.

It would be unethical if he left Crescent Town and went to Winter City without saying a word.

Chapter 4 was reviewed today, and I didn’t write anything, just a tongue-in-cheek.

It will probably be released later.
