Princess Margaret is the protagonist of this banquet, so she cannot stay here for too long. After she informed Miss Sylvia of the specific time and arrangement for going to the airship, she got up and prepared to leave.
But as soon as she got up, the princess pursed her lips and sat down again.
Glancing at his personal maid, the latter wisely left the room temporarily. The princess looked at Miss Sylvia's personal servant, the lady who brought Shade here, but the latter was unmoved.
Princess Margaret bit her lips again, and then asked softly:
"Teacher, are you still unwilling to let me be your apprentice?"
Xia De in the closet held his breath, while the big witch looked at her suspiciously:
"Margaret, we have discussed this issue many times. I am willing to be your teacher, but you cannot be my apprentice. You do not have the talent for space, and this cannot be changed."
"What if I can engrave [space] spirit runes for myself?"
The princess asked excitedly, but the big witch still shook her head:
"You know my personality very well. You want to inherit my position in the council. In addition to space, you also need to understand mathematics. I want to find a student who can really pass on all my knowledge. But mathematics... no Yes or no, even if knowledge is obtained by relying on those extraordinary powers, the logic and way of thinking will not be changed so easily."
Xia De's eyes widened, and he looked out from the gap in the closet, for fear of missing any details. Although this is somewhat immoral, this conversation is much more interesting than the banquet itself.
He understood Miss Sylvia's thoughts very well. This great witch wanted to find a real heir. He also understood Princess Margaret's thoughts. Although she became a student of Serks and even became a student of the deputy dean through the relationship of the royal family, there has never been any member of the royal family in history. Become a High Ring Warlock like never before. This may be a coincidence, or it may be inevitable under some kind of tacit understanding.
Therefore, if Marguerite Anjou wants to go further on the path of a ring warlock, Miss Sylvia is the best choice.
"teacher......"
The princess bowed her head in silence and got up to say goodbye. But suddenly asked again:
"Now, do you have a suitable apprentice candidate?"
"You know I seldom lie, much less to you. Yes, I do."
Marguerite Anjou looked up at her teacher in shock. She just asked casually:
"Why?"
"His...her core spirit rune is...【Space】, mastering a space magic that even I can't analyze. And she can easily and I talk about functions and space geometry problems, and I have a deep knowledge of advanced mathematics. I even have my own opinions on imaginary numbers. The viewpoints of groups and sets proposed point out the direction of my future research.”
Miss Sylvia looked at her student with regret:
"I can't think of a better candidate than this."
Princess Margaret could no longer control her expression:
"Teacher, does the kind of person you mentioned really exist?"
"It really exists."
The big witch resisted the urge to look at the closet.
"Is she an old pedant who has been immersed in academics for many years? Which school in the United Kingdom?"
"She's young, younger than you. She doesn't belong to any school, actually, as far as I know..."
Miss Sylvia looked at her students. Her Royal Highness knew her teacher well, and knew that what she was about to tell was a cruel truth:
"According to what I know, she is self-taught, and she didn't even go to elementary school."
She didn't say that according to the information provided by Miss Galina, Xia De is very likely to be illiterate before this summer. This knowledge and talent have all been mastered by him through adventure and hard work in the past six months.
But even with Miss Sylvia's "compassion", the princess still closed her eyes in pain:
"Teacher, are you saying that geniuses really exist in this world?"
"Yes."
The big witch expressed her opinion very cautiously:
"Sometimes, talent is really important. But you don't have to be too sad, she rejected me."
"What?"
The princess in the silver crown opened her eyes again:
"She doesn't want to be your apprentice?"
Miss Sylvia pursed her lips, which meant that she thought of something bad.
"Then teacher, can I see her?"
Princess Margaret asked again, and the big witch immediately shook her head:
"She's not in this city, and she won't reveal her identity to you."
"where is she?"
"Tobesk."
The princess nodded:
"I see, teacher. Since she rejected you, please remember, I will never reject you... I came first."
This young lady, who looks intellectual and generous to outsiders, has a royal demeanor, showing a pitiful expression, but this did not impress the witch sitting on the sofa. Miss Sylvia smiled and said:
"Margaret, you have used this trick many times. If I take you as an apprentice out of sympathy, it will be a tragedy for both of us...Enjoy this feast and go to Tobes After Gram, there are many things to do."
"Okay, teacher. Then we'll see you later... Obviously I came first."
Princess Margaret left the room, looking in a good mood. And after the door was closed, Xia De waited for more than ten seconds before pushing open the door of the closet, and took off the red lady's soft hat that fell on his head when he rushed into the closet just now:
"Miss Sylvia, I won't see her in Tobesk."
"Don't worry, I won't let you see her either."
The witch said, sighed, and looked at the moon outside the window:
"However, I have a hunch that this visit to Tobesk will definitely not be easy. Now that we have suddenly obtained a new fragment of a poem, there is reason to believe that the fourth candidate will probably be on board soon." On the stage of that unpredictable fate... But, where will the stage be this time?"
Shad didn't stay in Miss Sylvia's lounge for long. Not long after Princess Margaret left, he also returned to the banquet venue on the first floor of the manor to meet Mr. Bernhardt.
When I found this gentleman, he was playing Rhodes cards with the "drug dealer" Baron York, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, in the sofa rest area in the corner of the hall, surrounded by a circle of guests.
Seeing that they were concentrating on playing, Xia De stood behind the crowd and did not interrupt. However, listening to the discussions of the people around him, the two gentlemen used their respective collections of precious wine as a bet, which seemed to the Rhodes players in Huntington. , is an upper-class bet second only to the "special rules" Rhodes card.
Rhodes card is indeed the most popular game of this era. In the banquet in Carson Rick, people also used the Rhodes card game of nobles as a status symbol. Those Carson Rikers were discussing the progress of the game, predicting who would win, and Shade saw that the game had just begun and would last for a long time, so he turned to search for the trace of Princess Margaret.
He still remembered that Miss Sylvia gave him the invitation letter to let him pay attention to the abnormal events around the princess during the banquet.
At this moment the ball was getting ready to begin, and the servants of the manor were removing the long table. Her Royal Highness was also sitting in the nearby sofa resting area, discussing something with the local ladies, noble youths and noble girls. The other nobles accompanying the delegation also chatted with the local nobles in Huntington City in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When Xia De saw the princess, the princess also saw him. After a moment of surprise, she asked the maid to call Xia De over:
"This is Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who runs a winery in the New World and is a friend of Viscount Bernhardt."
She introduced it to others, and then said the purpose of calling Xia De:
"Mr. Holmes, you are from De La Rion, so you probably don't understand Carson Rico's banquet. We will prepare some interesting games for the large banquet here. Are you interested in participating? It just so happens that we still lack an interesting player. .”
Xia De blinked, although he was curious why the other party called him to play the game, he still nodded:
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
Nothing to do anyway.
"But what do you want to play? I am quite confident in Rhodes."
Xia De said slightly modestly, and Princess Margaret smiled:
"The gentlemen here are very good at Rhodes, so try other games."
As she spoke, she ordered the servants to fetch three empty goblets, put the three glasses together in a triangle shape, and placed them on the tea table. Afterwards, someone was called to fetch an opaque black cloth, and the princess asked for three coins from the personal maid.
That is not an ordinary Kasenlik Krona, but a "Kingdom of Kasenrik Commemorative Gold Coin" minted in pure gold. This commemorative coin is also regarded as a large amount of currency ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Outsiders who have a deep understanding of the world's currency system know that a gold coin can be exchanged for 10 to 12 kroner.
"Cover your eyes with a cloth, and stand at a distance and throw gold coins into the cups. If someone can put three gold coins into three wine glasses, the three gold coins, as well as my earrings, belong to him."
Princess Margaret announced that this was actually addressed to the Shad, as the young gentlemen around seemed to know about it.
Xia De nodded suspiciously to express his understanding, but he still didn't know why the other party had brought him here on purpose. It was definitely not because he wanted to show the friendship between the two countries.
In short, this unexpected reception game started like this. A total of seven people signed up to participate in the game, and each of them looked extremely confident.
Princess Margaret asked people to clear the space in front of the coffee table, and pulled a cloth belt on the ground as the starting line for throwing coins. The banquet games hosted by the princess herself, as well as the "precious" game prizes, also attracted more people to come and watch.
After all, the dance party hasn't started yet, and it's the busiest place right now.
