As soon as Regnar's words came out, Alex felt that the temperature in the room suddenly dropped below zero.
"Do you a favor?! Huh?! I'm doing you a favor, right?! What you're doing is asking Anne to give her love rival a beauty treatment. Do you know how to write the word 'death'? You definitely don't know! But you definitely know how to write 'seeking death', right? Because you are seeking death! Let Anne help your love rival with beauty treatments! You can also say this! Who is more big-hearted, you or Anne? I'm pissed off Annie, she will kill us both in minutes, do you believe it? Do you believe it?! You thought I was a bitch just now! Now I think you are a bitch! You are worthy of being the number one bitch selected by the guild. Man, you can forget it if you don’t want to die or live happily!” Alex pulled Regnar’s shoulders and shook him mentally, and even spit on his face.
But now he was afraid that his unintentional actions would offend the Frost Maiden, so he remained as motionless as a statue. Quietly waiting for Annelotte's reaction.
And Regnar seemed to know that doing so would be suspected of committing suicide, so he seemed very nervous. The boy stood in front of Annelotte awkwardly, not even daring to look at the girl.
Time seemed to have frozen in this room, but this deathly silence was so unbearable for Alex every minute and every second. Just when he was about to collapse, Annelotte finally spoke.
"I don't know how to make a wish," Annelotte said.
"But you are a mage, and you are also a rare super genius. So, I think you can find some more effective ways to use your understanding of magic. If you can't do it, I don't think anyone can do it. . Moreover, even if you can't do it, at least you can still use the wishing spell to help Erin when you reach level 18. Now I just hope you can agree to help me." Although there is a suspicion of flattery, most people don't. Will deny Regner's statement, if even Annelotte is not a super genius, I'm afraid there will be no super geniuses in this world.
"..." Annelotte did not answer immediately. She just looked at Regna with a dull look. No one knew what she was thinking at this time.
"Eileen is my most important friend, and I can't let her live in these shadows. Even if she can still insist on being positive and optimistic now, I'm afraid that one day she won't be able to hold on. So, please You, this matter is very important to me!" Regnar said sincerely, and there was even a bit of pleading in his tone. If even Annelotte doesn't help Irene, then who will? Will Master Mage take care of this poor ugly half-elf girl
Annelotte was in a daze, and Regnar's words touched her memory. Although the impression of Regnar is that he is playful and smiling all day long, in fact he is a very arrogant young man because he rarely asks for help from others. At least in the three years that Annelotte and Regnar were together, Regnar only begged her once.
That time was half a year ago, when something unexpected happened to the Gerhart family. Although Regnar was facing a high-level mage alone at that time, he still asked Annelot to take special care of him, take away the seriously injured Inelise first, and revive her. That was the only time in Annelotte's memory, and now, this should be the second time.
"Are you begging me twice for someone else? Other... women?" An idea suddenly appeared in Annelotte's mind, which surprised the frost girl who had always been cold. But she quickly calmly adjusted her emotions and nodded: "Okay."
"What?!!!!" The first person to shout was not Regnar, but Alex. He originally thought that Annelotte would be furious at this moment, and then directly kill Regnar. He even began to think about how to deal with the affairs of the Military Intelligence Agency after Regnar's death. The result... The result was really unexpected. The girl was unexpectedly calm and agreed to Regnar's request without much explanation.
"Ah!!! Ah!!!! Girl, are you crazy? That girl's name is Irene, that's Irene! Regnar's childhood sweetheart, childhood playmate who has supported each other since childhood! Since then! Emotionally speaking, Regna definitely values her as much as you do! Are you helping her like this? Do you know that you are helping your love rival? Normally, you don’t seem to be a big deal other than being cold, but now I just realized that I don’t understand your way of thinking at all!” Alex shook Annelotte’s shoulders and complained again mentally, but this time even at the mental level he didn’t dare to spit on the girl’s face...
"Uncle, what did you yell suddenly? You scared me." Regnar was really frightened by Alex's voice just now.
"You two should scare me..." Alex couldn't complain anymore.
"Then you promise me?" Regnar turned his head to confirm.
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to help Eileen, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Annelotte said coldly.
"It's okay, as long as you are willing to help her." Regnar knew Annelotte's awkward temper very well, especially when she was still angry with him, it was even more impossible for her to admit that she was helping him. Therefore, it was good to get the Frost Girl to agree, but he didn't dare to worry too much about the rest.
Annelotte snorted coldly, and then ignored Regna.
"Okay, basically that's all. You go out first, brat, and don't miss the dinner tonight." Alex said.
"Okay." Regnar nodded, and then said hello to Annelotte. After receiving a stiff response from the girl, Regnar immediately became elated and walked out in a hurry.
"Do you really want to help Erin?" Alex asked.
"Isn't it right to help a poor little girl?" Annelotte asked.
"Okay, you know what I mean, girl, why do you need to deny your inner thoughts?" Alex was helpless.
"Of course I know what I think." Annelotte said coldly.
"Ah, whatever!" Alex shrugged. He knew that Annelotte had always been this temperamental, and there was no point in saying more here. But then, he thought of another thing: "By the way, if I'm right, Joffrey will invite you in public tonight to be his magical assistant. How are you going to deal with it? Do you agree?"
"No." Annelotte replied calmly, then left the room without saying anything more.
"It's not easy for elders. They always have to wipe the butt of young people..." Alex looked at Annelotte's back and couldn't help but said with a wry smile. But after a while, he put on a lewd expression and muttered: "But if it's Annie's little butt... it would be good to rub it more."
When Regnar found Kordak, this guy was showing off several pieces of magic equipment he had acquired to Goethe and Eberron.
Goethe said congratulations to Kordak with a faint smile on his face. Eberron pestered Kordak, insisting on exchanging his equipment with Kordak's enchanted longbow.
"Don't think about it, I'm using this for my wife." Of course Kordak refused without hesitation.
"What about me being your wife?" Eberron said shamelessly, "I have muscles and can warm the bed!"
The three people said in unison: "Get out! You pervert!"
…
The dinner started at five o'clock in the afternoon. Regnar had never seen such a luxurious dinner. A variety of exquisite dishes are placed all over the table, and top-quality red wine that has been collected for more than ten years is also available in unlimited quantities. Regner's mouth was drooling all over the floor when he entered the restaurant. He and Kordak looked at each other, and then the two of them pounced on the dazzling array of food like hungry wolves.
"Let me tell you, Lord Regnar." Goethe couldn't stand it any longer. He poked Regnar and whispered, "This is the palace after all. You'd better pay attention to your image."
"Hey, I don't want to pretend like them!" Regnar waved his oily palms: "Eat and drink well, otherwise, why would I come to this dinner?"
"You can't say that. This is the basic etiquette of a nobleman. You will still need to use these when you take over the Military Intelligence Department in the future." Goethe said, then he pointed at Kordak, who was motionless with his back to him, and said: " Look at Mr. Kordak, at least he didn't eat it like this... um... until he bared his teeth like this."
"Really?" Regnar obviously didn't believe it, he shouted: "Boss!"
"Huh?" Kordak turned his head, and Goethe realized that the reason why this guy was not moving was because he was chewing food hard. Both of his cheeks were stuffed with bulges, and there were swollen balls in his hands. Holding a bare turkey leg bone, it looked like he was putting all the meat into his mouth in one bite.
"Do you know how I learned how to eat food?" After saying this, Regner ignored Goethe and continued to wave his oily hands and began to eat happily.
"..." Goethe was speechless. He could only leave Regnar's side silently to prevent others from thinking that he was in the same group with these two worthless guys.
Annelotte glanced at Regnar from a distance and couldn't help but frown at his unsightly eating appearance. Joffrey originally wanted to invite her as his female companion tonight, but Annelotte refused. Anyway, she would reject him again later, and she didn't care if she offended the prince.
The dinner had reached the second half, and then Joffrey clapped his hands to silence everyone.
After confirming that everyone was focused on this, Joffrey said: "As you can see, this dinner is hosted by me, Joffrey, in my personal name. Everyone who is willing to come to this dinner, Joffrey is here I express my gratitude and hope that my hospitality will satisfy you."
After speaking, the eldest prince raised his crystal glass and drank the remaining red wine in one gulp. Everyone on the court quickly raised their glasses and took two sips.
"Although I, Joffrey, was born in a royal family, I have a hobby." Joffrey continued after drinking: "I like to make friends, especially friends with powerful people. And all of you are through the tournament. Selected top players, so I am really happy to invite you all today! And since you are here to attend this dinner, no matter what you think, at least I, Joffrey, will treat you as my best friend. "
"Your Highness, you are so polite. It is an honor for us to serve His Highness." A middle-aged mage who was relatively close to Joffrey said quickly. Annelotte knew that person. He was also a member of the Palace Mage Association. His name was His name is Ymir, and he is among the top eight in this competition.
According to Annelotte's impression, this Ymir is mediocre in strength, but shrewd and somewhat courageous. He is a typical opportunist.
"Very good!" Joffrey nodded with satisfaction after seeing such a scene: "In addition, I think everyone also knows that I am a magician, a high-level mage. And recently I am studying magic. I encountered some problems on the road, so I want to recruit a magician to be my personal assistant and discuss magic-related issues with me. I don’t know, is there any Mr. or Miss magician who thinks he can do this? "
"..." Many people were stunned for a moment. They didn't seem to understand why Joffrey suddenly mentioned this matter.
But there are also people who think quickly, such as Ymir just now, who asked: "I wonder what kind of problem His Highness the Prince is encountering?"
"I have a problem with frost spells. I have problems controlling the frost element of some spells. Specifically, it is difficult for me to find the balance point of the frost element in the magic circle. Although the teacher has guided me many times, I still cannot stabilize it. To release those eighth-level frost spells. And the teacher cannot follow me every day, so I want to have an assistant to discuss this issue with me." Joffrey said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the eighth-level frost spell is indeed beyond our understanding, and we probably won't be able to help." Ymir looked regretful, but he rolled his eyes and continued: "But I I think Miss Annelotte may be able to help you. She is a mage who specializes in frost spells and is also a genius recognized by the empire. I think that with her ability, she should be able to help you explore the mysteries of magic."
