After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

After being held in Ryan's arms, Ninelli did not struggle. There was nothing strange except that her face was slightly hot.

After sitting on Ryan's lap, Ninelli not only felt that the bumps on the carriage were much lessened, but also felt very comfortable. Her eyes could not help but squint and she began to feel sleepy.

Mr. and Mrs. Horace watched the interaction between Ryan and Ninelli, with a subtle sense of relief flashing in their eyes. They seemed to be very relieved about Ryan.

Although the Horaces still cared about Ninelli very much in their hearts, neither the Horaces nor Ninelli said a word along the way, making the atmosphere in the carriage seem extremely dull.

If it weren't for the little girl in his arms, Ryan would have really wanted to go ahead and drive the carriage.

The carriage drove for a long time, and Ryan and his party finally arrived at their destination—the residence of Marquis Baikasi in Art City.

Because he lives in Yate City all year round, Marquis Baikasi still has a high say in Yate City. Every time the aristocratic dinner after the Alcott College examination is completed, Dylan will host it.

Of course, although this kind of dinner was full of nobles, Duke Fina did not participate.

The main reason why this dinner is held after every assessment is that the nobles have their own affairs on weekdays. Only on the day of assessment can all the nobles get together for a rare occasion.

It just so happens that the nobles can use this dinner to discuss cooperation matters with each other, or to establish good relations with each other.

Entering the mansion, many nobles were already drinking inside. As soon as they saw Count Horace arriving, several nobles immediately came forward and started chatting with Count Horace.

"Count Axi, you are fine!"

"Haha, I heard that Gui Qianjin performed very well in this assessment. Even the daughter of the Field family is no match for Gui Qianjin."

"Harm! What are you doing with that bastard Tifield? He's giving up his face just for the sake of first place. It's such a pity that his daughter's magical talent..."

The fact that Count Horace was suddenly flattered by so many nobles was obviously inseparable from Ninelli's excellent performance in this assessment. Therefore, this group of nobles and Ninelli were also surrounded.

"Nenelli, do you remember me? I am your Uncle Gil. I was a guest at your home when you were a child."

The middle-aged man with a mustache grinned at Nenelli with big yellow teeth.

Nunnally looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a dull expression. She didn't say a word, but silently grabbed Ryan's pants with her little hands.

Ninelli was naturally impressed by this Uncle Gil. Not only was she impressed, but she was also deeply impressed.

That year, she and her father made a rare trip back to the fiefdom that belonged to her father. It happened that her father's income was in trouble and the whole family was almost on the verge of collapse.

The man in front of her smelled the smell and came to her door. He sat in her father's seat with his legs crossed and wanted to lend usury to her father.

To this day, Ninelli still has fresh memories of this man's condescending attitude and the humiliation of her father.

Even later, Ninelli vaguely heard that her father's income problems were caused by this man's secret manipulation...

Looking at the flattering look on the man in front of her, Nenelli felt sick in her heart and felt a little scared at the same time.

Although the nobles at this dinner seemed quite harmonious, all Nenelli could see here was the darkness and ugliness among the nobles.

Sensing Ninelli's discomfort, Ryan quietly covered Ninelli behind him, and then smiled lightly at the man named Gil:

"Sorry, Ninelli is feeling a little unwell. If anything happens, please go talk to Count Horace."

Hearing this, Jill raised her eyebrows and said horizontally: "What are you..."

Just when Jill was about to have an attack, a big hand suddenly covered Jill's mouth from behind.

Ryan turned his eyes and saw a noble covering Jill's mouth while smiling apologetically at Ryan:

"Mr. Lane, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! You can go about your own business first, and we won't bother you anymore."

Ryan nodded slightly, turned around and left with Nunnally.

After watching Ryan leave with Ninelli, Horace breathed a sigh of relief and began to chat with the surrounding nobles with confidence.

Gil was taken aside by the noble who stopped him.

After letting go of Gil, the noble quickly wiped the hand that covered Gil's mouth with a tablecloth.

Gil, who was already angry, became even more angry when he saw the nobleman's appearance in front of him: "What do you mean?!"

"What do I mean? I saved your life. What do I mean?"

The noble immediately said angrily: "Look at that person's features!"

Jill glanced sideways at Ryan and said, "Black hair and black eyes are quite special, but so what?"

The noble took two steps back because of Jill's bad breath, which was full of big yellow teeth, and then cursed angrily:

"He is the madman who stabbed Archmage Valentine to death in front of Duke Alcott on the sword trial ground!"

Hearing this, Gil suddenly froze in place, and then felt a chill running straight from his heels to Tianling Gai.

It is no secret in their circle that Earl Field drugged the daughter of the Ash family and Valentine was stabbed to death with a sword.

For them, the fact that Field drugged the daughter of the Ash family was far less shocking than the fact that Valentine was stabbed to death with a sword.

Although the Hedley Empire severely punishes infighting among nobles, there are still many nobles who often secretly stumble against each other. Gill himself does not know how many times he has used this method.

It's nothing more than a problem that has not been discovered.

On the other hand, when Valentine was stabbed to death, everyone knew that Valentine was the great mage that Duke Alcott valued most, and would even give him the title of earl.

But, for such a trivial matter as secretly adding a magic inhibitor to the potion given to the students, he was sentenced to death in public?

He was stabbed to death in front of Duke Alcott!

You must know that as Duke Alcott, as long as he insists that Valentine was not drugged, it means that he was not drugged. With his status as Earl of Ashejia, it is impossible to raise a voice of resistance.

However, the final result was that after Valentine was stabbed to death by the madman, Duke Alcott not only didn't even look at Valentine, but also gave the madman good words to persuade him!

Many nobles began to secretly inquire about the identity of the madman with black hair and black eyes, who deserved Duke Alcott's attention.
