Master Tongtian

Chapter 312 Master, how about you marry me? (33)

When the maid took Rosen to Cabin No. 3, Rosen had already learned from the maid the reason for the objections of the noble mages.

It turned out that this was the first petrochemical ship built by the Duke of the East with huge sums of money. The purpose of sailing to the Golden Lake was to show the strength of the East.

To put it bluntly, it's just showing off.

Among them, cabin No. 1 is the most luxurious and is used by the Duke himself. Cabin No. 2 is where Princess Heyajali lives. Cabin No. 3 is right next to Cabin No. 2 and is for the most distinguished guests.

And those noble mages are nominally the followers of Princess Heyajiali, but are actually candidates for the princess's future husband.

If nothing unexpected happens, the princess's husband will be selected from this group of noble mages with the highest status and the most outstanding achievements in magic.

Rosen's unexpected arrival, coupled with the princess's obvious attention, immediately aroused the male mages' instinct to protect their sweethearts.

Coupled with his status as a northern mage, he suddenly became a public enemy.

"Let me tell you, provoking the princess will definitely lead to a lot of trouble. Just a few minutes after I boarded the ship, I got into trouble with a bunch of flower knights."

Heya Jiali is indeed a peerless beauty, but he really has no great interest. If it weren't for Gedrac's words, he would definitely stay away from her throughout the entire college party.

But now, he had to carefully consider his relationship with Heyagali.

The voice of the maid interrupted his thoughts.

"Master, do you need a bath?"

Rosen followed the sound and found that there was a large petrified bathtub next to the large window of this spacious cabin. There was a leather stopper beside the bathtub.

Apparently, as soon as the plug is opened, clear water will flow out.

Rosen drove Sky One all the way and was indeed a little tired. He just happened to take a hot bath to relieve his fatigue.

"need."

He took off his leather jacket and threw it on the coat rack, then sat down on the large cowhide bench that was unique to the East. It felt soft and soft, much like the high-end sofa in his previous life.

After sitting down, continue thinking about the previous question.

"I have a wife and children, and I'm also a mage from the North. It's obviously impossible for me to marry a princess. The most I can do is develop a relationship as a lover."

"But the relationship between lovers is too fragile, and it will disappear accidentally. It is difficult to get much help with this fragile relationship, let alone gather the power of the Eastern Territory to build a large floating city."

"What's more, the princess may not be willing to be my lover. If she doesn't do it well, she will offend the Duke, so there is no future for male-female relations."

"Then there's only one other way."

That is to find a way to develop in the East and climb to a high position little by little, such as becoming the Duke's first minister of magic. Then it is possible to convince the Duke to support his plan.

But in this way, even if the floating city is finally built, it will still be the Duke's floating city, not his.

Obviously, the Holy Spirits don't care about the ownership of the floating city. They just need the floating city to stimulate the development of magic.

Therefore, Rosen is the only one who really cares about this issue.

Rosen does not require himself to become the absolute controller of the floating city. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but it’s impossible in the short term.

Because he is currently too weak.

His minimum requirement is to enter the highest decision-making level of the floating city.

For example, he can occupy one of the seven-seat Supreme Council.

Otherwise, if you are busy making wedding dresses for others, what is the difference between you and a fool?

"How to do it?"

I can't think of a good way, and I don't have much information at hand. Let's take it one step at a time.

The maid's voice came: "Master, the water has been put in and the temperature is 40 demi. Can I help you take a bath?"

Rosen turned to look at the maid and found that she was about twenty-three or four years old, with a pretty face and a slender figure.

When he said this, his expression was natural, as if he was asking him if he needed a meal.

This is also very normal. The maids of the noble families are the vassals of their masters. For the master's distinguished guests, there is unconditional obedience, and you can do whatever you want to them.

It's nice to have someone to take a bath with you.

Rosen had also become a noble and had a deep understanding of aristocratic etiquette. At this time, he did not hesitate and walked to the bathtub to stand and stretch his arms.

The maid took off his clothes skillfully.

After taking off his clothes, Rosen stepped into the bathtub and lay down. The maid brought a small wooden stool, sat next to the bathtub, and used a pair of slender catkins to give him a detailed bath.

Rosen lay on his back in the bathtub, enjoying the service while looking at the scenery outside the large glass window.

The glass is one-way transparent magic glass. You can see the outside scenery from the inside, but from the outside it is dark inside.

Through this large glass window, you can see residents on both sides of the canal running out and curiously looking at the first petrochemical ship in the golden land.

Rosen carefully looked at the outer wall of the petrified ship and found that it used high-level petrified techniques throughout its body. There were two types.

One is the extraordinary petrification technique for steel, used to create the skeleton, and the other is the ordinary petrification technique, used to create walls.

So, strictly speaking, this is a ship with steel as its bones and clay as its flesh.

A little calculation revealed that the weight difference of the ship was more than 7,000 tons, and at least half of it was made of steel.

"Even in the Eastern Region, it may not be an easy task to get so much steel at once."

"I heard that the Duke of Storms of the East has a fairly easy-going personality and respects mages, but he has a tendency to enjoy great achievements."

I didn't have much idea about the word 'what a great success' before, but now I have seen the behavior of Duke of Storms with my own eyes, and I suddenly have a clear and concrete understanding.

"He is such a toss-up Lord. Fortunately, the Eastern Territory has money, so he should be able to hold on."

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the maid's hands were a little dishonest. He looked down and saw that she was looking at him carefully, as if she was checking his body.

He felt a little strange in his heart, but he was in good health and was not afraid of any examination, so he didn't bother to pay attention.

Soon, after rubbing his front and back, taking a shower, and putting on soft and comfortable loose clothes, Rosen felt refreshed.

After the maid finished cleaning the bathtub, she bowed to Rosen and turned to leave.

Rosen had a feeling that Heya Jiali would be coming soon.

Sure enough, within ten minutes, there was a knock on the door: "Master, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

It was the maid's voice.

"come in."

It was completely dark at this time, and the magic crystal lamp in the cabin automatically turned on, illuminating the cabin as bright as day.

The door was pushed open, and the maid walked in pushing the dining cart, followed by a person, none other than Heya Jiali.

She no longer wore vest and trousers, but changed into a thick cotton silk dress unique to the East. Her tightly tied hair was also partially untied, and she tied a fluffy bubble ponytail behind her head.

Rosen immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, I salute you."

Heya Jiali smiled sweetly: "Master, are you satisfied with the living conditions?"

“Very satisfied, much better than I expected.”

"That's good, sit down."

She sat down on the thick leather bench opposite Rosen, with a table in the middle, while the maid placed various exquisite foods on the table.

"It's not easy to cook on the ship, so let's just eat some. Carrie also takes this opportunity to ask you for some advice on flow problems."

Rosen naturally had no objection.

After the maid placed the food and wine, Heya Jiali waved to her: "Okay, there is no need to wait here. Go wait outside the door and close the hatch."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Soon, the cabin door closed and the cabin became an independent space.

Heya Jiali was obviously much more relaxed. She used a mage's hand to remove the cork from the wine bottle, and poured herself and Rosen a glass each.

"Master, try the emerald wine that is a specialty of Nutau City."

Rosen looked at the wine and found that it was emerald green in color and exuded a mellow aroma. With his character not liking wine, he also had the idea of ​​tasting it.

I picked it up and took a sip, and found that the taste was silky, the taste was long and mellow, and the alcohol content was very low. It was very refreshing to drink, somewhat similar to wine, and much better than moonshine wine.

"What a delicious wine. Thank you for the hospitality, Your Highness."

Looking at the dishes on the table, they are all very exquisite.

There is a lot of seafood, including fist-sized oysters, prawns weighing nearly a kilogram, sea vegetables as textured as emerald, and a thick soup that resembles shark fin, and it smells fragrant.

In addition, there are actually several dishes unique to the north.

"Master, I don't know if you can adapt to seafood, so I prepared some."

Rosen has no taboos. He is in excellent physical condition and loves to eat everything.

At this time, I was hungry, and there was no one around except the princess, so I said: "Your Highness, I have been traveling for a day and I am very hungry. If you don't mind, I will do whatever you want."

Heya Jiali's posture is also very casual.

She sat on the chair with her legs crossed, her upper body straight and slightly tilted back. She held the chair with one hand to maintain balance, and held the wine glass with the other. She smiled softly when she heard this.

"The purpose of driving away the maid is to allow the master to enjoy his meal."

Rosen then used the mage's hand and began to feast.

After taking a few bites, he asked: "Your Highness, do you want me to peel some shrimp meat for you?"

"OK."

Rosen then used the Master's hand to eat it himself while serving Heya Jiali.

Heya Jiali was obviously hungry and started to enjoy her dinner, but her actions were slightly wilder than Rosen's.

She is much more reserved and elegant. The etiquette training she has received since childhood has been engraved in her bones. She does not need to pay attention, and her every move will naturally show up.

When she was half full, Heya Jiali began to ask for advice on the flow problem.

Rosen listened while eating and turned on the computing core at the same time. When he finished listening, he would be silent for a while and then he would give the correct answer.

Heyajiali asked five or six questions in a row, all of which were difficult problems that she encountered in daily study but could not figure out. Rosen solved all of them in a vigorous manner, and each question took less than 5 minutes on average.

After he finished asking, Rosen also filled his stomach.

Heya Jiali called the maid, and after cleaning up the mess on the table, she was reluctant to leave and continued to ask for advice.

After getting along for a long time, Rosen became more casual. He crossed his legs, put one hand on the back of the chair and the other on the sofa cushion, and answered Heya Jiali's questions a little lazily.

It can be felt that the other party's flow level is already very high.

But compared to his wife Thrandis, her level comes from hard work far more than talent.

Thrandis was full of aura. As long as Rosen gave her a start, she would immediately be able to follow the train of thought and her rigorous thinking and deduce it all the way down to a very profound level.

But Heya Jiali is obviously not good enough, and many problems seem a bit clumsy in Rosen's opinion.

Everyone says that hard work can make up for weakness, but this is not entirely true.

Suppose the highest ability in a field is 100, then hard work can probably make up for it to 90.

The remaining 10 points require talent support.

In the field of advanced mathematics, the requirements for talent are particularly high.

Many times, if it doesn't work, it won't work, even if you think about it, it won't work.

But don’t tell the truth when you see through it.

From time to time, Rosen also gave a few compliments to avoid damaging the princess's self-confidence.

However, although Heyajiali is not very talented in mathematics, her emotional intelligence is not low.

After spending less than 2 hours together, I could already sense Rosen’s intentions.

She sighed softly and asked: "Master, I am stupid, right?"

Without waiting for Rosen to answer, she sighed again: "You don't need to comfort me, I am indeed stupid."

"It's the same in magic, and it's the same in mathematics. And I actually don't like these very much, just so that my father can continue to be proud of me."

"But many times, diligence seems to fail. For example, the master's cliff and your flow often make me feel a kind of hardship that is both mentally and physically exhausted."

After a few words, Rosen already understood Heya Jiali's situation.

"The Duke really hopes that you can break through the master cliff, right?"

"Well, although my father has never said it explicitly, he is constantly looking for various ways to help me break through."

"None of these methods worked, and I could clearly feel my father's hidden impatience."

Rosen understood, but he felt that Heya Jiali was a little too close to him. After all, it was the first time that the two parties met.

He couldn't say much, so he could only comfort him in a formulaic way: "This matter can't be rushed, just let it take its course."

After hearing this, Heya Jiali fell into silence for a long time, only drinking emerald wine one sip after another.

As she drank, she seemed to have made up her mind.

She said softly: "Master, the pressure from my father is increasing day by day. I try my best to please him, but he is as unsatisfied as the giant python in the world."

"If other subordinates lose their value, they will immediately be alienated by him. For me, alienation is not a bad thing."

"But I am his daughter and the eldest daughter, so he can't be alienated, so he keeps forcing me."

“I’ve been struggling with it for years and I’m reaching my breaking point.”

"Master, can you understand this pain?"

Rosen nodded slowly: "You can feel it partly."

Pressure from loved ones is often the hardest to bear.

Whether it is high expectations, wordless silence, verbal harshness, or even a sigh of disappointment, it can easily have a huge impact on the soul and even make people feel suffocated.

The Duke is very happy to achieve success. He has invested countless resources in his daughter since she was a child, and he must be expecting to reap the rewards.

Therefore, this pressure must be surprisingly huge.

I thought to myself: ‘It seems that every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. The princess of the Eastern Realm, who attracts everyone's attention and is aloof, also has huge troubles. ’

Heya Jiali paused for a long time, staring at Rosen with only her eyes.

After a few minutes, she finally spoke.

"Master, how about you marry me?"

Her voice was delicate and soft, with a hint of exhaustion and a hint of begging, completely losing the majesty of the princess before.

Rosen was stunned and felt like he was hearing hallucinations.
