Meet the principal

Reiner thought to himself, I am really not humble. I was simply saved by my senior and made a dish. How come I became a candidate for son-in-law?

So he immediately read two sentences and answered immediately.

"Your Excellency, I am really not worthy of your daughter. You should hire someone else."

Reiner was still thinking about how to respond more tactfully, when he saw the old man's face change and he spoke with a bit of disdain.

"You are quite self-aware, kid. Of course you are not worthy of my daughter."

"hehe."

Reiner still had a smile on his face, but he felt a little cursed in his heart.

This old man is really moody and doesn't play by the rules. If it weren't for his high level of magic, Reiner might have thought he was a lunatic. No, even so, this old man's behavior is indeed not like other high-level mages. So steady and logical, yet more willful and casual.

"Okay, I'm full, let's go."

The old man finished eating the last piece of chicken and waved his hand to drive Reiner away.

"Sir, I still have some questions about magic."

Reiner also wanted to hear more about this old man's understanding of magic. He felt deeply that this man's understanding of magic was unusual and closer to the essence. The few questions he mentioned casually before had surpassed most of them now. If the Master's research topic could be mentioned a few more times, it would be of great benefit.

"If you don't talk about it, you'd be happier if you didn't know about some things."

The old man turned into that serious look again and sighed.

"The closer you get to the truth, the more serious the burden the truth brings to you. There is no difference between omniscience and omnipotence and ignorance and incompetence."

Hearing his words, Reiner felt a little sad.

Even if he is as strong as this old man, his attitude towards the truth is somewhat negative. He doesn't know whether it is because of his personal experience or other reasons that he said such things, but it is always regrettable.

After thinking about it, Reiner still did not nod along with the other party's words, but spoke.

"Your Excellency, despite this, I still believe in one sentence."

His words made the old man raise his head slightly.

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

Reiner specifically used the language of the ancient Magic Empire to relay this sentence. His words made the old man's eyes light up, like a match being lit in the dark night. But soon, the match burned out quickly, and the old man's eyes darkened. Go down.

"Let's go. Those guys probably won't dare to attack you again in a short time."

The old man said and pointed to Reiner's pocket.

"If you have figured out the question I asked you before, come to me with that coin."

"How"

Reiner also wanted to ask how to use this coin that didn't seem to have anything special. Then he saw the old man wave his hand, and the scenery in his field of vision suddenly changed. When it became normal again, he was already in a secluded street.

"This is a real thing that comes and goes when you call it. Do all high-level mages do whatever they want like this?"

Reiner looked around. It was already dark, the street lights were on, and the new moon had risen.

He walked out of the alley, asked passers-by, and learned that this was still within Olmsted City. Reiner immediately called a rental carriage, hesitated for a moment, and rushed to the place he had agreed with Claire.

Reiner thought that Claire would order a mountain of food and then throw a long bill to Reiner, but what he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the building in the center of the city, he only saw Claire standing Next to the pillar at the door.

She stood there thoughtfully, with pedestrians coming and going around her. In the city lights, this girl looked even more lonely.

Claire pinched the hem of her skirt and bit her lower lip. Under the light, she looked a little haggard.

Reiner looked at Claire like this, and suddenly felt something in his heart was touched, and he stepped forward.

Claire's eyes were still on the ground, and suddenly she saw a pair of familiar shoes appearing in front of her. She raised her head, and it was exactly the person she was waiting for.

"I thought you were"

Claire's voice was a little hoarse;

Her red eyes could be seen, and her lavender eyes were moist and seemed to be rippling. She wiped away the tears that were about to fall with the back of her hand, and then looked at Reiner carefully to make sure that he was not injured.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Reiner said sincerely and gently touched Claire's head.

"I, I won't let you go so easily, you have to compensate me!"

Claire turned her face away, and the crimson color occupied her cheeks, which was very cute.

"What compensation do you want?"

Reiner did not tease Claire, but followed her words and asked.

"Uh, I, I want to eat hot pot, and barbecue, crab, lobster, scallops, squid, steak, cod, grilled chicken, and sausages."

She talked about a series of food without pause, which seemed to have been brewing for a long time. Until she finished speaking, Claire puffed up her cheeks and glared at Reiner.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to eat, I'll cook it for you."

Reiner smiled slightly. He looked at Claire, which made the girl blush again. She kept playing with the corners of her clothes with both hands, showing her shyness and shyness.

“How cunning”

Claire whispered, but her face was clearly extremely happy.

Time moved forward slightly, just after Ampelkos was knocked away by a blow.

He climbed up from the rubble, and there seemed to be invisible hands around him removing the rubble from his body. Ampelkos stood up as if he was being supported and stood on the ground.

"This power is too strong. If it weren't for my special ability, I would have been beaten into a meat pie long ago."

Ambekos moved his joints, making a creaking sound, and said with lingering fear.

"Who was that just now? Was it an ambush arranged by the Magic Association around Lena Ingle?"

Ambekos was not aware of the other party's intrusion at all beforehand, and coupled with the extraordinary blow, there was no doubt that the old man was a high-level mage.

"Linner Ingle had anticipated that we would take action against him, so he arranged all this?"

He could only think of this possibility. Since Reiner killed a member of the Serpent of Chaos, the possibility of them organizing revenge was very high, so he simply arranged it in advance and waited until the people of the Serpent of Chaos took the bait. Otherwise, the Magic Association would be impossible. A high-level mage was found alone to watch over Reiner throughout the process.

"I thought he was a prey that ran into a trap, but I didn't expect that he was the hunter."

Ambekos sneered, and soon he noticed a powerful aura approaching here.

"Is there anyone else chasing you? It seems like it would be better not to take action against this person in the short term. We also need to inform Raven that this area is no longer suitable for staying for a long time and it's time to leave."

He muttered to himself, then disappeared into the shadows.

Shortly after Ambekos disappeared, a figure fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

He looked around and saw obvious signs of battle, but there was no sign of Reiner.

"What's going on? The information for the Hohenheim Gold Cup did come from here."

Stretching out his hand, he briefly sensed the magic traces near this area, and his originally calm expression suddenly became solemn.

"This magic reaction is due to him appearing?"

The high-level mage fell into thinking for a long time, and then he raised his head.

"No matter what, we must first find Lena Ingle to confirm the situation. His breath seems to be cut off by something, but there are traces to follow."

He waved his sleeves and left immediately.
