Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun and Sabina were led around the academy by Gek.

Originally, they thought that having a guide would save the effort of asking for directions and reading signs.

But not wanting to walk, Jike actually said that they were going the wrong way.

After walking through another intersection, Su Lun and the others saw a gorgeous spired small auditorium. Through the glass window of the auditorium, I happened to see a group of beautiful female students in ballet costumes rehearsing.

But this is not the library expected.

Jike looked at the surroundings, and finally showed embarrassment and said, "Ah, teacher, we seem to have come to the small auditorium, which is the opposite of the direction of the library."

Su Lun and Sabina listened with expressions of tears and laughter.

At first glance, this kind of outrageous mistake is something that can only be done by students who can only stay at home and never participate in group activities.

Gek also felt embarrassed, and explained again, "I haven't visited the campus very much. The archives and laboratories of the School of Pharmacy are the ones I go to the most on weekdays. I don't know why I turned to the side."

Su Lun also smiled and said with relief: "It's okay, the college has a good scenery, and it's good to go around more."

The three went the wrong way and went back in another direction.

Sullen asked about Gek's life at the Royal Academy.

But there are very few interesting things Gek can say.

His life seems to be only laboratory and library, in addition to studying and checking materials, he is doing experiments, which is boring and boring.

After all, this was the Royal Academy, and Su Lun could see that his disciple was only high-spirited when he talked about explosives, and there was a kind of loneliness and inferiority in his life.

The three did not take a few steps, and Su Lun also noticed that there was a look in the direction of the small auditorium behind him.

Then I heard the sound of light footsteps.

Looking back, a girl came out after him. She seemed to recognize Jike, who held down the brim of her hat, and greeted in a tentative tone, "Jike?"

Sullen stopped when he heard someone call Jek's name.

Jike glanced back and his expression became a little dodgy.

He seemed to know the girl, but he didn't want to meet her.

The little girl was excited and ran over, she was still wearing a rehearsal tutu, "Jike, is it really you?"

She looked really Jike, and her pretty face couldn't hide her joy: "Are you here to come to our rehearsal? Sibel said just now that she saw you, but I thought she was wrong."

Jike seemed a little helpless, and deliberately hid his burnt left face sideways, "I, I don't"

Su Lun looked at his dodging demeanor, but did not understand that he had met a girl he liked. He chuckled and asked, "Jike, is this your classmate?"

Jike was slightly embarrassed, nodded, but wanted to escape from here.

But the girl didn't care, she cheerfully bowed to a noble lady, and introduced herself to Su Lun: "Hello, sir. My name is Phoebe Shelley, and I'm Jike's classmate."

Afraid that his teacher would offend a noble without his knowledge, Jike quickly introduced: "Phoebe's father is a distinguished imperial hereditary baron."

Su Lun listened without saying a word, but immediately understood where the inferiority complex of his own disciple was.

In Lu Ying, nobles and commoners are two classes of people.

For the nobles, marriage is the most stable and lasting way of exchanging interests. So usually their children never marry commoners. This kind of secret love is usually doomed to no results.

Su Lun thought of the love story between the great writer Fujiwara Hayabusa and Katyusha's grandmother.

"Oh? Nobles"

Sabina on the side heard this, with a smile in her eyes: "No wonder classmate Phoebe is so good-looking and so self-restrained."

"Thank you for your compliment."

The girl was praised, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She also showed her good tutoring and responded politely: "You are also the most attractive lady I have ever met."

Sabina looked at the little girl, her brows crooked with a smile, as if satisfied.

Su Lun also felt pretty good.

At least she didn't mind Ji Ke's civilian status, and she clearly saw the scars on Ji Ke's face but didn't mention it.

This is a kind-hearted girl.

After Phoebe greeted politely, she looked at Jike again, and said with a sly smile: "Jick, did you secretly come to see my rehearsal just now?"

Her little mischievous grin directly resolved the embarrassment of "being caught now", and said generously: "Actually, you don't need to sneak it, tell me in advance, and I will be very happy for you to come to see me. Rehearsal."

These two simple sentences boldly expressed a girl's feelings, but Jike probably didn't understand it.

But he really didn't come to see the rehearsal, he hesitated and said, "No. I am accompanying the teacher."

Phoebe looked at Su Lun and Sabina again and blinked: "Teacher?"

Children in the upper class have various tutors, and it is not surprising that there are teachers.

Sabina smiled and corrected: "We are Gek's family."

Hearing this, Phoebe felt a little surprised.

Although both Su Lun and Sabina have no coat of arms to show their noble status, their dress and bearing are unusual at first glance.

Seems like I've never heard of Gek having such a family.

But she didn't care, she found the topic again, and said, "Jike, I haven't seen you for a long time recently. Are you still staying in the laboratory? It's all said, you have to come out for a walk."

Jack's expression was very unnatural, especially in front of his own teacher, he was so embarrassed that he almost stuttered, "Well, I. I."

Although Su Lun didn't know what their previous experiences were, he could see that they looked at each other with light in their eyes.

My own disciple, obviously because of low self-esteem, did not dare to respond to the girl's enthusiasm.

Su Lun felt that he should help Gek build some confidence. He wanted to invite the little girl for lunch or something. But at this moment, a group of young students saw several people in the exchange and hurried over.

There are men and women, and it can be seen from the coat of arms on the buttons of their clothes that they are some minor nobles.

These people came over with arrogant expressions.

Someone greeted Phoebe and said, "Phoebe, the next rehearsal is about to begin, why are you here?"

Approaching, the leading brown-haired boy pretended to recognize Jike, and said yin and yang strangely: "Who is this? Isn't this the 'Ammunition Ghost' Jike of our class? Tsk tsk. Don't stay in your utility room , how did you come here? Yo, what's wrong with your face, and your fingers were blown off?"

Originally, I came to see the rehearsal for the festival celebration of Miss Phoebe, who is very likely to be her "fiancee", but I didn't expect to meet a toad. The mood will naturally not be good.

"."

Ji Ke listened to these obviously sarcastic words, and remained silent, his inferiority complex made him unable to lift his head.

Seeing this, the brown-haired boy sneered again, his eyes full of disdain. He turned to Phoebe again and said, "Phoebe, why are you with such a person? If my uncle found out, he would definitely say that I didn't take good care of you in the academy."

Phoebe clearly knew the group was there to make fun of Gek, as many times before.

She said with a bad face: "Tim, I'm not that familiar with you, okay?"

Saying that, she took Jike's hand directly, "Let's go, Jike, let's go somewhere else."

"you!"

This sheltering action made the brunette boy named Tim look even more gloomy.

At this moment, the thin yellow-haired valet beside him suddenly caught a glimpse of the gold pocket watch hanging on Jike's chest, and quickly pulled it off.

After waiting to see the logo on the pocket watch clearly, the little valet immediately seemed to have discovered something new, and suddenly said with a yin and yang: "Hey, look, our classmate Ji Ke is actually wearing the 'Emerald Warrior Heart'! Wow, a limited edition pocket watch worth over a million lisos."

After saying this, the students immediately followed suit.

"Tsk tsk, classmate Jike is really rich. I didn't even buy this limited-edition mechanical pocket watch. You actually have one?"

"Hehe, maybe someone picked it up. After all, I heard that he often goes to the college's waste disposal room to pick up materials."

"Hahaha, the Jike family is a big businessman in fur. How can you say they picked it up?"

"."

Mockery is like a sharp sword, stabbing human dignity with blood.

Jike summoned his courage, snatched the pocket watch, and shouted angrily, "Give it back to me! It's mine!"

It is okay for him to be humiliated, but this is a gift from the elders, and it must not be sullied.

The little follower understood Master Tim's hint, and he was willing to let it go easily. He grabbed Jike's collar and said aggressively: "Hey, I just lost a valuable pocket watch, and now I suspect it was stolen. You go to the school office with me!"

Although he knew that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble, Jike still argued with reason: "This is the pocket watch that my elders gave me! It's not the one you lost!"

Naturally, those little nobles also noticed Su Lun early in the morning.

But seeing that there is no sign of aristocratic status on the two of them, they did not pay attention to it.

What's more, this Jike is notoriously poor and sour, that is, the son of a fur trader. If he really has a background, he wouldn't have lived in the handyman's house for so long.

They thought, if these two really dare to come forward, they must also let them know the consequences of offending the nobles!

Huang Mao's little follower is unrelenting: "Humph, whether you have the final say, go to the school office with me, and someone will judge!"

It doesn't matter how the facts are, he just wants to humiliate this ignorant toad on behalf of Young Master Tim.

"Don't go too far!"

Phoebe on the side screamed anxiously.

When she heard this, she was also shocked. It was hard to tell if she really went to the school affairs office.

She knows very well that a civilian student like Jike is justified and can't tell. It's really a big trouble, and there is a high probability that he will be expelled from the academy!

However, such an expensive pocket watch.

She suddenly turned her gaze to Jike's two elders.

Su Lun has been watching the onlookers coldly, listening to the dialogue, he knows that this is probably Jike's rival in love.

This little girl Phoebe is very good-looking, and at first glance, she is the type that will be liked by boys.

But it's normal to be jealous at this age.

He didn't intend to end at first, just watched silently from the side.

But now. It's impossible not to intervene.

School bullying really happens everywhere.

Under normal circumstances, some noble students bully civilian students, which is also one of the daily pleasures, and no one will care.

Civilians were bullied, and they could only endure it.

Because in Lu Ying, even offending the nobles with his eyes is a serious crime that will lead to imprisonment.

This is where even the academy's use of recruiting civilians comes in. Keeping a few silver carp stimulates these aristocratic little fish, and also gives the little fish a place to show a sense of superiority.

Unfortunately, they messed with the wrong person this time.

Before Su Lun could speak, Sabina said lightly, "I gave this pocket watch to Jike."

She had no interest in embarrassing a group of half-boys.

Unexpectedly, these little nobles are not fuel-efficient lamps at all.

Although Sabina wore a wide-brimmed hat with a black gauze covering half of her face, the yellow-haired little root was shocked by her beauty, but deliberately mocked: "Auntie, who are you? "

Sabina, a professional intelligence officer, has long recognized their family background from their noble coat of arms. Hearing this, she coldly retorted: "A quasi-baron who was bought for merit, a hereditary little viscount. Is the status of this low-ranking aristocrat the confidence of your arrogance?"

Nobles are one rank higher than commoners.

But in fact, there are also taunt chains among the nobles.

Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, Male, the ranks of nobility are the chain of contempt.

Those above the earl level are called high nobles, and those below are called low nobles.

That Tim is a hereditary viscount.

Huang Mao is a quasi-baron, and can only be regarded as a pseudo-noble.

Sabina's condescending and arrogant tone really stunned the half-sized children.

If the lower nobles offend the higher nobles, it is also in big trouble.

Only then did Tim take a serious look at the two of Suron, and then he showed the etiquette that a noble should have, and first introduced himself: "I'm Tim Price, may I ask your wife?"

Sabina brings out the arrogance of the high aristocracy to the fullest. When she heard the question, she didn't even mean to look at this kid, and instead of answering, she asked, "Do you really want to know who I am?"

After a pause, she said solemnly: "The Price family, if I remember correctly, is the little lord of Breitya, the border city in the east of Luying? Your family seems to be operating an iron ore? Forest of Shadows. The quality of the newly-discovered ore deposits is very problematic, and your family is all overwhelmed. You are good, and you still have the heart to bully your classmates here."

As soon as these words came out, that Tim turned pale with fright.

little lord?

He didn't expect that he just said his name, and the other party explained his origin clearly.

This cold and arrogant tone, there is no need to doubt, the person in front of him is definitely a high-level noble!

Sabina is a professional intelligence officer, and she knows Lu Ying's nobles well.

What's more, it takes a lot of words to deal with these half-sized boys?

She sneered and continued: "Student Tim, doesn't it, it seems that you have already made up your mind to cause trouble for your family? Hehe, you know you have offended me. Once I say my surname, you and you My father had to come to the house to apologize."

Before the words were finished, Tim was sweating like beans on his forehead, and the fear in his eyes was hard to hide.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, and hurriedly explained: "No, ma'am, I think there may be some misunderstanding here. I don't mean to offend you."

If his father knew that he had offended a high-ranking noble in Ye Academy, his legs would have been broken.

Sabina was not interested in going on rambling, and said expressionlessly, "Apologize! Then, where should I go?"

Tim was so frightened at this moment that he lost his temper, and decisively guarded his chest and gave a noble salute, and said, "Sorry for offending the noble lady."

The yellow-haired attendant on the side also apologized in panic.

Sabina shook her head, "Not apologizing to me. It's Gek."

Hearing this, Tim's faces became very ugly, but they could only do as they were, and lowered their noble heads towards them, a commoner who looked down on them: "I'm sorry, Jike. We blamed you."

Tim came arrogantly, and now he left in despair.

Jike, who stayed, stood there dumbfounded.

He never imagined that the noble classmate who was so overwhelmed in his eyes would be forced to apologize by this lady in a few words and fled?

But at the same time, Jike also realized that his teacher, this friend, is actually a noble high noble!

As soon as Sabina opened her mouth to express her position, she suddenly seemed to be speaking like an elder, and her aura was overwhelmed, so there was no room for Jike to speak.

Phoebe, who was beside him, suddenly became cautious.

In the face of a high-level noble, the young master of the viscount family apologized and fled, how dare she, a young lady of the baron family, dare to be too presumptuous.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, and Phoebe knew that she should go, and said with respect: "That. Sorry, honorable lady and gentleman, although it is very rude, but I should go to rehearsal."

If you stay, it will seem to have the meaning of being arrogant.

"Um."

Sabina smiled and asked again, "Phoebe, if you're free, Jike wants to invite you to dinner another day?"

Phoebe glanced at Jike out of the corner of his eye and nodded with a restrained expression, "Yeah."

As she said that, she hurriedly bowed slightly and saluted, and the little deer turned around and said, "Then I'll go first."

Su Lun and the two nodded.

Sabina looked at the girl's back and sighed with emotion: "Very kind girl."

Su Lun smiled and agreed: "Yeah."

Sabina naturally understood Su Lun's attitude and showed a little identity, which also gave Jike some confidence.

What's more, Su Lun's current status and strength are not comparable to any noble.

What happened just now can only be regarded as a small episode, and the three continued to stroll in the academy.

Probably because in the face of a high-ranking noble, Jike also seemed more restrained than before.

At this time, Sabina asked curiously, "Jike, you and Phoebe seem to know each other quite well?"

Jike responded: "When I first entered the school, the college organized a 'Beast Hunting Practice Class', but there was a little accident. The monster went crazy and hurt people. The other students were frightened. I helped her. Later, I read books. We met a few times and chatted for a few days, and we became friends. Phoebe was also my only friend in the college. Later, when I encountered difficulties, she always helped me."

The process of acquaintance is vivid in his mind, and Jike's tone was a little emotional, but when he said the last, his eyes dimmed, and he said: "But you can't always cause trouble."

"Oh, so you rescued her?"

Sabina didn't understand the deep inferiority in these words.

At this time, she said something meaningful, "Jike, you are Mr. Su Lun's disciple, but you are no worse than any noble."

Jike also mustered some courage and nodded seriously, "Yeah!"

Talking here, Su Lun was a little strange.

It stands to reason that even if you are a teacher and a teacher, even if you are not a noble, shouldn't the nickname of "Death God" give his disciples some confidence?

When his old friends saw him, they all laughed at his majesty in the battle in the city-state of Moros.

The [Eight-Armed Spider Lance] costume was once shown in Blizzard City, and it stands to reason that Jike should not have guessed such a highly recognizable costume.

But your own disciple, actually didn't respond at all?

Could it be that he thought I was the second-order professional in Blizzard City?

Sullen thinks so.

What did he think of ~www.readwn.com~ and asked: "Jick, you haven't read the newspaper recently?"

Jike didn't know why his teacher asked such a strange question, but he also admitted: "Ah yes."

"I have been in the laboratory for most of the past six months, and I seldom pay attention to real facts, and I have little time to read newspapers."

He thought that he had missed some major event worthy of attention, and asked again, "Teacher, did the newspaper say that something major happened?"

Hearing this, Su Lun chuckled and shook his head, "Oh. That's all right."

Gek doesn't communicate with people and doesn't read newspapers, so he has to know.

Looking at Jike's blank expression, Sabina on the side covered her mouth with a slight smile and said, "If you have read the newspaper, you will know what a great teacher you have."

Jike was a little confused, "Huh?"

After a moment of recollection, he realized that he seemed to have heard some incredible information.
