Chapter 12 Thalia Never Thought She Would Accept Students
"I'm not short of money."
Lan Qi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
"..."
Talia fell silent again upon hearing this.
Transactions have always been about meeting the needs of both parties.
It's like Talia has no force to use in the human kingdom and lacks money; while Lankey has more than enough money, but urgently needs protection.They can meet each other's needs and strike a perfect deal.
Well this time.
When Thalia wanted to get something other than money from Lan Qi, Lan Qi naturally hoped to get more valuable transaction content from Talia.
"Then it's time to find a card making teacher. It's not enough to study Tier [-] magic cards by yourself."
The brief conversation made Lan Qi's drowsiness that was about to flood his mind fade away.
He stood up absent-mindedly, cleaned up the scattered card-making tools and paper pages full of dense handwriting on the table, and muttered to himself.
During this period of selfless card-making training, he felt that his mental power seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Maybe in a short while, he would be able to break through to the second level, which was very close to his predecessor.
And, next, he wants to borrow the family treasured ancient relic [Psalm of Compassion] that would be taken away by Talia in the original plot, and make it into his own magic card.
But Lan Qi has no confidence that he can successfully use this secret treasure material to make a magic card at one time. He needs a highly skilled mentor and collaborator.
Then Thalia, the Great Card Maker of the Demon Race, who was going to get the [Psalm of Compassion] and turn it into a magic card, is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Do you want me to teach you card making?"
Talia stared at Lan Qi's looming emerald green pupils from the side, and there was neither "can" nor "no" in her words.
Lan Qi's hint just now was too straightforward.
Obviously, he hoped that Thalia could teach him the knowledge of card making in exchange for the first edition of [Basic Etiquette].
During the days when Lan Qi and Thalia got along, Lan Qi would ask Talia about magic cards intentionally or unintentionally.
Sometimes Thalia would tell him casually, and sometimes ignore him.
Talia didn't know how this human figured out that she could make cards at first, but she didn't want to delve into it, nor did she want to deny it.
Maybe it's because of his unique eyesight, maybe it's because he's good at guessing, maybe it's because his intuition is accurate, maybe it's because he shouldn't stare at the magic card making props for too long, it's all possible.
However, even if she later acquiesced that she knew how to make cards, Lan Qi had no way of knowing her true level as a card maker.
"From the first moment I saw you, I was convinced that you are a very powerful guy. At least, in the border city-states for so many years, I have never seen anyone with your temperament, even given I have a feeling of being beautiful, powerful, and immortal."
Lan Qi temporarily put down the paper in his hand, met Talia's gaze, and stared at her golden pupils seriously,
"I've always trusted my intuition. So it's just a test, what if you are really a master card maker that I only have the chance to meet once in my life?"
He seemed to have made a decision to confess to Talia, and wanted her to know that there was a certainty in the first two transactions compared to chance.
"..."
Thalia silently listened to Lan Qi's words.
She clearly judged that this human being was not pretending to be obedient and transgressing, but was sincerely speaking the truth.
Moreover, with such a reverent attitude, it was like even if she was a devil, he was willing to seek strength from her.
"Anyway, Tata, since you have chosen to stay by my side to protect me, if you can teach me how to make cards at the same time, and I will share the finished cards with you, don't you think it would be great for both of us? choice?"
Lan Qi added another sentence.
"..."
Originally, no matter what, it was impossible for her to teach a talented human being and let it grow wildly.
But there is a special case -
Unless, this guy is more harmful to humans than his talent.
And Lan Qi obviously belonged to this kind of card maker with great potential for harm.
Then if he is willing to pay a full price, he can indeed be considered to teach him.
It's just that Thalia never expected that she would accept students, and that demons would be human teachers.
"I am only responsible for teaching you to the second level. If it is acceptable, I will make a deal with you."
Talia responded after thinking for a moment.
Although she has mastered the card making technology of demon magic script, she doesn't know how to make cards with human magic script.
But the magic engineering principles of magic cards are more common, and practical skills are more important than theory. It is no problem for her to teach Lan Qi, a beginner.
Hearing Talia's reply, Lan Qi nodded decisively:
"Okay, I'm totally fine here."
Speaking of this, the joy that had just surged on Lan Qi's face disappeared half a bit, and turned into worry,
"However, I may have to go to the capital in a month or so... Could you trouble me to teach me how to make cards while continuing to protect me on the way and after arriving in the capital? I will pay you the originally agreed reward. "
"What are you going to do in the capital?"
Thalia frowned upon hearing this.
For many years, she has traveled to the south of the mainland almost along the border provinces of various human countries.
If possible, she didn't want to go to a human important place like a king's capital in a large country for no reason.
"I'm going to take the entrance exam for Icarite Academy, and I'm also very worried that the killer will follow me all the way and commit murder on the way...so I need protection even more."
After Lan Qi finished this sentence, as if he remembered something, he quickly added:
"By the way, since you are a secret guard hired by me privately, if you travel far, you must prepare an identity that is easy to disguise, so that it is not easy to attract the attention of the killer. I will pack you as someone in our house, Let you protect me better."
Seeing that Thalia did not express any doubts about these words, Lan Qi showed a more sincere smile.
There is no feeling of big cheating.
After all, everything he said was true.
Next.
Lan Qi proudly explained to Talia how to use the relationship of the Chamber of Commerce to create a seamless new identity for Talia.
"..."
She who was already a little inclined to reject Lan Qi was suddenly stunned by Lan Qi's words.
one more time.
Lan Qi naturally proposed a condition that was so pleasing to her that she could not refuse.
It's like...the temptation of the devil.
The main reason why she is so down and out is that she does not have the legal status of a human country.
Work, transactions, and passage are all subject to many restrictions.
Even if it is only a temporary identity provided as an additional condition of the transaction.
It will also be freedom and convenience that she never dared to imagine before!
