Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship: Chapter 256 Lan Qi has been pitiful since he was a child

Chapter 256 Lan Qi has been pitiful since he was a child

 “Lord Francis, Miss Zestila.”

Lanci bowed to the two of them, and then sat next to Viscount Francis as usual.

“Mr. Lodge, I heard that you go to the town every afternoon for a stroll. What do you think of this town?”

Viscount Francis asked with a smile.

“It is an excellent city for tourism and settlement. It has huge development potential. As long as we vigorously develop the tourism industry, we will definitely achieve prosperity.”

　　Ranci replied seriously.

 Soon he also realized that this was not what Viscount Francis’ question meant.

Viscount Francis was silent for a while after hearing this.

 He just wanted to ask Lan Qi how he felt about living in this town.

 The result sounds like the leaders sent by the province to investigate are expressing their opinions.

But when I think about Lan Qi’s profession as a scholar, I feel there’s nothing wrong with him.

“I called you here today mainly because I want to ask for your opinions.”

Viscount Francis cleared his throat. Since he had waited until Ranchi, he ordered the butler to tell the kitchen to start their dinner time.

"Zestila, I would like to hire Mr. Lodge to continue to be your tutor, that is, to accompany you back to Protos Royal Academy of Magic as your entourage. Can you accept it?"

Viscount Francis was actually very worried.

  Sometimes he doesn’t know whether his words will make Zestila unhappy or hurt her, so he has always been cautious in communicating with her.

If Zestila agrees, he will take the risk and use his own authority to obtain the status of Lilomu City for Lanqi, so that he can easily go to the imperial capital.

Lanci sat next to Viscount Francis, slightly noticing that Zestila opposite had a slightly reluctant expression.

 But she was also thinking about it and did not reject it immediately.

Although she would never take the initiative to ask Lan Qi about magic genealogy and magic engineering knowledge, she would carefully read the notes Lan Qi left in the book every day according to the progress, and then exchange the magic genealogy textbook for the magic engineering textbook every day. , and when Lan Qi writes the annotations for the magic genealogy textbook, she will exchange it for the magic engineering textbook that she has read.

 She prefers this self-study learning method.

The teachers at Protos Royal Academy of Magic are not as patient as Lan Qi, and few people in the northern continent have his unique knowledge of magic engineering.

The dining table became silent because of Viscount Francis' proposal. Even the servant who delivered the meal felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He quickly left after putting down the meal.

 Lanqi has also learned about that school these days, and probably knows what Zestila is worried about.

The style of the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos is between the Academy of Icerita and the Academy of Purgatory Cloisters, but its biggest feature is different from the two schools.

 First of all, family background and status are particularly important. In addition to being divided into the upper house and the lower house when they enter school, their teachers and treatment are completely different. Noble students are born with many privileges.

Secondly, the phenomenon of cliques among students is very serious, and there is rarely a sincere and friendly relationship between students.

When talking with the silver-armored priest, Lan Qidu accidentally overheard related things. It is said that sometimes when students from Protos Royal Academy of Magic fight, they not only want the life of their opponent, but may also want to humiliate and torture the opponent first. Coupled with coercion and control, it is a place full of darkness under the rules, but it can also become stronger quickly.

For example, Bishop Nirvana sent the Son of Nirvana directly to Protos Royal Academy of Magic in disguise of his identity. In the end, he graduated with a **** record and excellent grades, which made Bishop Nirvana quite satisfied.

 Later, even the Tyrant Saint died at the hands of the Son of Annihilation.

Of course, precisely because the school has a strict elimination system, the aristocratic students who stand out from the assessment will also have more privileges and preferential treatment, even far greater than ordinary teachers.

Not only can they use credits to skip a grade, they also have many optional powers, and they can even share them with their followers, giving them more convenience in school to better serve themselves. Many people in the empire jokingly call this privilege for nobles to bring followers the "call of servants" - comparing which family has a stronger family background.

 Bringing a useful or powerful follower can make a noble's life in school much easier.

Of course, the limit for followers is that they cannot be higher than level six, which is the limit for third graders.

 Many high-ranking students in the school even teach that one of their great pleasures is to rate the new servants of the nobles. They will even regard the servants as summoned objects and measure their value based on their rank and grade.

Zestila originally refused the entourage assigned to her by Viscount Francis. Viscount Francis was helpless and could only respect her idea. After all, this was her character.

But now Viscount Francis unexpectedly drew a magician scholar from the southern continent of unknown rank from the sea.

The most important thing is that Zestila is willing to get along with him, so maybe Zestila can be persuaded to take him as a scholar-type follower. She is very partial to science and needs a tutor who can make her listen. teacher.

　　　…”

Zestila was silent for a long time.

 She doesn’t really want to bring an entourage, and she feels more comfortable being alone.

The most important thing is that after going to that cage where strength and status are everything, if she can't stand firm, being a follower of her half-demon race is not a good job. She may even be implicated by her and suffer a lot of prejudice and discrimination. , misfortune and unfair treatment.

 “Zestila…”

Just when Viscount Francis was about to ask about Zestila’s mastery of the magic genealogy and magic engineering courses, he wanted to use this to persuade her.

 “Forget it, Lord Viscount.”

 Lanci said to Viscount Francis gently. He seemed not to want to embarrass Zestila.

“I have been plagued by bad luck since I was a child, and my family’s chamber of commerce was implicated in it and almost collapsed... If I followed the lady to the imperial capital, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to help her... I will only cause trouble for others.”

As he spoke, Lan Qi seemed to think of something very sad.

 The dining table suddenly became quiet.

Such a heavy topic doesn’t seem fake.

The well-educated, gentle and kind-hearted young man does not seem to be the kind of scoundrel who would curse his own business association for bankruptcy.

finally.

 “I’m not afraid of trouble and I’m good at taking care of people.”

Zestila raised her head and looked at Lanqi and said.

 “Is this...?”

Lan Qi hesitated.

“Follow me to the imperial capital and continue teaching me magic genealogy and magic engineering. I don’t want to listen to the teachers in the school.”

Zestila finished speaking and focused on continuing to eat.

 “Thank you, Miss Zestila.”

 The exchange between the two ended, and the previous peace returned to the dining table. Only the sound of the occasional slight contact between the spoon and the porcelain plate echoed in the dining room from time to time.

Viscount Francis: "???"
