Greetings, Mister Principal: Compensation

Reiner thought to himself, I am really not humble. I was simply saved by my senior and made a dish. How come I became a candidate for son-in-law?

So he immediately read two sentences and answered immediately.

"Your Excellency, I am really not worthy of your daughter. You'd better hire someone else."

Reiner was still thinking about how to respond more tactfully, when he saw the old man's expression change and he spoke with a bit of disdain.

"You are quite self-aware, of course you are not worthy of my daughter."

"Haha."

Reiner still had a smile on his face, but he was a little bit embarrassed in his heart.

This old man is really moody and doesn't play by the rules. If it weren't for his high level of magic, Reiner might have thought he was a lunatic. No, even so, this old man's behavior is indeed not like others. High-level mage is so steady and logical, but more willful and casual.

"Okay, I'm full, let's go."

The old man finished the last piece of chicken and waved his hand to drive away Reiner.

"Sir, I still have some questions about magic"

Reiner also wanted to hear more about this old man's understanding of magic. He felt deeply that this man's understanding of magic was unusual and closer to the essence. The few questions he mentioned casually before were already beyond the scope of what he is doing now. If most of the research topics of mages could be mentioned a few more times, the benefits would be immense.

"If you don't say it, you'd be happier if you didn't know about some things."

The old man turned into that serious look again and sighed.

"The closer you are to the truth, the more serious the burden the truth will bring you. There is no difference between omniscience and omnipotence and ignorance and incompetence."

After hearing his words, Reiner felt a little sad.

Even if he is as strong as this old man, his attitude towards the truth is somewhat negative. He doesn't know whether it is because of his personal experience or other reasons that he said such things, but it is always regrettable.

After thinking about it, Reiner still did not nod along with the other party's words, but spoke.

"Your Excellency, despite this, I still believe in one sentence."

His words made the old man raise his head slightly.

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening."

Reiner specifically used the language of the ancient Magic Empire to relay this sentence. His words made the old man's eyes light up, like a match being lit in the dark night, but soon, the match burned out quickly, and the old man's eyes lit up. His eyes darkened again.

"Let's go. Those guys probably won't dare to attack you again in a short time."

The old man said and pointed to Reiner's pocket.

"If you have figured out the question I asked you before, use that coin to come to me."

"What's going on"

Reiner also wanted to ask how to use this coin that seemed to have nothing special. Then he saw the old man wave his hand, and the scenery in his field of vision suddenly changed. When it became normal again, he was already in a secluded place. streets.

"This is a real thing that comes and goes when you call it. Do all high-level mages do whatever they want?"

Liner looked around, it was already dark, the street lights were on, and the new moon had risen.

He walked out of the alley, asked passers-by, and learned that this was still within Olmsted City. Reiner immediately called a rental carriage, hesitated for a moment, and rushed to the place he had agreed with Claire.

Reiner thought that Claire would order a mountain of food and then throw Reiner a long bill. But what he didn't expect was that when he came to the building in the center of the city, he only saw Claire was standing by the doorpost.

She stood there thoughtfully, with pedestrians coming and going around her. In the city lights, the girl looked even more lonely.

Claire pinched the hem of her skirt and bit her lower lip. Under the light, she looked a little haggard.

Looking at Claire like this, Reiner suddenly felt that something in his heart was touched, and he stepped forward.

Claire's eyes were still on the ground, and suddenly she saw a pair of familiar shoes appearing in front of her. She raised her head, and it was exactly the person she was waiting for.

"I thought you were"

Claire's voice was a little hoarse, and you could see her red eyes. Her lavender eyes were moist and seemed to be rippling. She wiped away the tears that were about to fall with the back of her hand, and then looked at Reiner carefully. , confirmed that he was not injured.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Reiner said sincerely, gently touching Claire's head.

"I, I will not let you go so easily, you have to compensate me!"

Claire turned her face away, and the crimson color occupied her cheeks, which was very cute.

"What compensation do you want?"

Reiner did not tease Claire, but followed her words and asked.

"Uh, I, I want to eat hot pot, and barbecue, crab, lobster, scallops, squid, steak, cod, grilled chicken, sausages"

She talked about a series of food without pause, and it seemed that she had been brewing for a long time. Until she finished speaking, Claire puffed up her cheeks and glared at Reiner.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to eat, I will cook it for you."

Reiner smiled slightly. He looked at Claire, which made the girl blush again. She kept playing with the corners of her clothes with both hands, showing her shyness and shyness.

"So cunning"

Claire whispered, but her face was clearly extremely happy.

Time moved forward slightly, just after Ampelkos was knocked away by a blow.

He climbed up from the rubble, and there seemed to be invisible hands around him removing the rubble from his body. Ampelkos stood up as if he was being held up, and stood on the ground.

"This power is too strong. If it weren't for my special ability, I would have been beaten into a meat pie long ago."

Ambecos moved his joints, making a creaking sound, and said with lingering fear. ~IndoMTL.com~Who was that just now? Could it be an ambush arranged by the Magic Association around Reiner Inglet? ”

Ambecos was not aware of the other party's intrusion at all beforehand. Coupled with the extraordinary blow, there was no doubt that the old man was a high-level mage.

"Linard Ingle had anticipated that we would attack him, so he arranged all this?"

He could only think of this possibility. Since Reiner killed a member of the Serpent of Chaos, the possibility of them organizing revenge was very high, so he simply arranged it in advance and waited until the people of the Serpent of Chaos took the bait. Otherwise, the Magic Association It was impossible to find a high-level mage alone to take care of Reiner throughout the whole process.

"I thought he was a prey that ran into a trap, but I didn't expect that he was the hunter."

Ambekos sneered, and soon he noticed a powerful aura approaching here.

"Is there anyone else chasing you? It seems that it would be better not to take action against this person in the short term. I also need to inform Raven that this area is not suitable for staying for a long time and it is time to leave."

He murmured to himself, then disappeared into the shadows.

Shortly after Ambekos disappeared, a figure fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

He looked around and saw obvious signs of battle, but there was no sign of Reiner.

"What's going on? The information about the Hohenheim Gold Cup does come from here."

Stretching out his hand, he briefly sensed the magic traces near this area. His originally calm expression suddenly became serious.

"This magical reaction is due to him appearing?"

The high-level mage fell into thinking for a long time, and then he raised his head.

"No matter what, we must first find Reiner Ingle to confirm the situation. His breath seems to be cut off by something, but there are traces to follow."

He waved his sleeves and left immediately.
