I really can't control myself

Maluke was fine and just followed Linton while chatting. Linton didn't say much and asked about the situation from the side.

This Maruk was also from a noble family. Because his parents died and he had some relationship with Linton's father, he was sent to the Meloway family to be raised on his behalf, so he knew Linton well. But when the other party was 13 years old, his fighting spirit awakened, and he was sent to an academy in the imperial capital for further study.

Not everyone can go to the imperial capital, even nobles, not all family members can go, because the tuition is really expensive. However, Maruk's family basically has no other heirs. He is trained as the next generation of baron, so of course it needs to be gilded. The academy is already a good way to gild. Of course, the best way is to go to the battlefield.

As for the academy, it is just south of St. Dravan City. The blue-roofed building complex that Linton saw before is the academy. The full name is Lowell Royal Academy. It is currently the largest academy in the empire established in the name of the hero Lowell. Its main educational targets are the children of nobles.

When this academy was first established, the main purpose seemed to be to allow nobles from various places to send their children to the imperial capital as semi-hostages, lest they always rebel. However, the empire has been at peace for a long time now, and the nature of the college has also changed. Currently, admissions have to go through selection, and it has become a real talent selection base.

All in all, being able to enter the academy is considered a high honor, and Maruk was very proud of his status as a student all the way. Linton also asked about Baron Serdes's daughter, but to his surprise, Maluk actually knew her.

After all, they are nobles from the same place, and everyone has a small circle. Maluk is very familiar with Baron Seders's daughter Kailin. That was naturally a good thing. Linton was worried about how to find someone, and now he had someone to lead the way.

I originally wanted to call off the engagement, but Maluk said that Kailin was not at the college recently. They were both graduating soon, so they spent more time doing internships than studying at the college. This was because Kailin had left the college before to attend. The mission is gone. Linton asked when the other party would be back, and Maruk said it shouldn't be too long. After all, they would have their graduation exam soon, and Kailin still had to rush back to review, etc., so it should only be in the next few days. .

"Do you have anything to do with Kailin?" Maluk asked.

"Yes." Linton nodded.

"What's up?"

"You may not believe it, but I'm here to break off the engagement," Linton said.

"What? You and Kailin? Engagement?" Maluk was stunned.

"Yes." Linton nodded.

"When was it decided?" Maruk asked.

"Just... about ten days ago." Linton thought for a while and said.

"More than ten days ago? Then you were going to retreat?" Maluk looked confused.

"I'm attracted by someone else," Linton said. "There's nothing I can do about it. He's so handsome, so he's popular."

"So you abandoned Kailin?" Maruk asked.

"Speak carefully. I have never met that Kailin before. It sounds like I have always given up." Linton said.

"Uh..." Maluk thought for a moment and seemed to agree, "Then who are you going to marry?"

"Third Princess Yalan." Linton told the truth.

"What? Wait, is it the third princess I know?" Maluk asked.

"Yes, that's the third princess you know." Linton said.

"No...wait a minute, please wait. You said you have a marriage contract with the third princess?" Maluk asked.

"yes."

"How is this possible!" Maluk shouted.

"She won't marry me unless I do, and there's nothing I can do about it," Linton said.

"Are you kidding me?" Maruk asked.

"Look, you don't believe me when I tell the truth. How will we communicate in the future?" Linton said.

"But isn't your truth too scary? Really? Confirmation?"

"Really," Linton said.

"..." Maluk was silent for a long time, "That's why I said I almost didn't recognize you. What happened to you in the past five years? How come you feel completely different from before."

"I was trash before, and now I am suddenly invincible. Can it be the same?" Linton said.

"Invincible?" Maluk was a little confused again.

"Yeah, look, I'm going to fight the Golden Flower Knight tomorrow. If I win, won't I be invincible?" Linton said.

"I was just going to ask you about this." Maruk said.

"This is troublesome to explain, but you just need to know that I have confidence." Linton said.

"Really? That's the legendary knight Bayar." Maluk was a little worried, and Linton could also see that this guy was really worried about him.

"It's useless for you to worry, it's all settled." Linton said, "There is still one day left. You can't ask me clearly, right? You might as well give me some help."

"Help? What's the matter?" Maruk asked.

"Get some equipment and prepare for tomorrow's battle." Linton said. He was originally going out to buy things, so it would be much more convenient to let Maruk lead the way.

"Yes!" Maruk nodded. It is true that trial by combat cannot be changed. There is no point in worrying now. It is better to prepare quickly. Maybe Linton can survive. After all, the person on trial was not Linton, Linton was just a substitute. If the opponent didn't kill him, it would be possible to survive.

But when it came to not using a deadly attack, Maluk suddenly thought of the situation just now. How could the opponent not use a deadly attack? After thinking about it, forget it, I can't help with anything else, but he can help with the preparations Linton mentioned. The rest can only depend on God's will.

"Where to go first?" Maruk asked.

"Isn't there a shop that sells magic props? Let's go there first." Linton said.

"Okay, I know a few. Let me take you to the one I often go to first." Maluk said.

So soon the group of people came to the business district. Maluk took the two of them to a store called "Magic Cube". This store was not the largest store. Linton saw other magic stores next to it. Because magic shops all have obvious signs, Linton could tell, but this shop must be good, at least there are a lot of people inside, which means there are many repeat customers.

Although there were a lot of people, when he saw the three of them entering, a waiter immediately came over to receive them: "May I ask what you want? Oh, you two are students from the college. They are going out to experience and see what they have just arrived." The potion you bought?"

Probably because Maluk was wearing a student uniform, he thought Linton was a student as well. Linton didn't explain, and asked directly: "Are you collecting things here?"

"Uh, is it something more expensive?" the clerk asked. Their store usually doesn't accept ordinary materials, but they can still accept expensive ones.

"There is a fire-proofing stone here." Linton directly took out the purple ball and said.

"What?" The clerk was stunned, looking at the huge fire-proofing stone, and was startled, "Sir, wait a minute, my name is the store manager."

After a while, the clerk came with the store manager. The store manager was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was quite cheerful and looked a bit ordinary. Seeing the huge fire-proofing stone in Linton's hand, the store manager also lost his composure: "Can... take a closer look?"

"Take a look." Linton handed the item directly to him, and the store manager here immediately looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while, he was probably sure it was the real thing.

"This thing..."

"I picked it up," Linton said. "I was lucky enough to pick it up during the mission."

"That's really lucky." The store manager was a little unbalanced. It is true that most of the fire-proofing stones were picked up accidentally, and I don't know what they were produced from, but this thing is really useful and valuable. very high. After thinking for a moment, the store manager raised five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand gold coins, take it."

Maruk and Ek next to them were both confused. They didn't even know what a fire-proofing stone was, but when they heard the price, they were shocked. Is this thing only 50,000?

"next door……"

"Sixty thousand." The store manager said directly, "The price next door can't be higher than this."

"Sold." Linton said directly.

"Okay, I'll prepare the money." The store manager already had the things in his pocket and had no intention of returning them to Linton.

"Wait a minute, I still need to buy something." Linton said.

"That's best. It's quite troublesome for me to prepare so many gold coins." The store manager nodded.

"Store manager, take a look at this first." Linton suddenly took out another blue gem and handed it to the store manager and said.

The store manager was stunned at first, then subconsciously took it and looked at it, and then said with some shock: "This is... an eighth-level water magic crystal?"

"What?" Everyone around was stunned and looked over.

"that……"

"Picked it up." Linton said directly.

"Can I pick this up?" The store manager was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he probably didn't want to say it. He didn't continue to ask, but said directly, "How about 180,000?"

"This is not for sale." Linton said, "I want you to see if this thing can help me process a magic item..."

"Oh, that's it." The store manager was a little disappointed, but he still nodded, "Okay, we have processing business here. This thing requires a master's hand, and the price is a bit high."

"Can it be mounted on a staff?" Linton asked.

"Of course." The store manager nodded again.

"Then take a look at this again." Linton said and handed over a long stick.

The store manager was very excited, thinking that he would see something awesome again. However, he took the stick, looked left and right to study it for a long time, and said a little uncertainly: "Um... this classmate, I can't see it. The situation with your staff..."

"Can't you even see this?"

"This...I can't quite see it," the store manager said.

"You don't even know the fire stick?" Linton asked.

"What? Fire sticks?" The store manager was stunned, "Is this really a fire stick?"

"Yes." Linton nodded.

"So you are going to embed this level eight water magic crystal on this fire stick?" the store manager asked.

"Yeah, homemade fire stick 2.0, it's a good idea." Linton said proudly.

"TND is really evil!" the store manager yelled.
