Master Tongtian

Green Warbler Hotel lobby.

‘Gudu~Gudu~ha~~~’

Rosen drank the last mouthful of vegetable soup in the basin and sighed with contentment.

"Is it tasty?"

Lilith sat next to him, squinting and smiling, like a warm-hearted older sister taking care of her younger brother.

Rosen nodded repeatedly: "It's so delicious! It's the most delicious lunch I've ever had in my life."

Another trace of worry appeared on his face: "Miss Lilith, thank you very much for your hospitality. But I have been out for a long time and I have to go back immediately."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

"Don't worry, let's talk later."

Lilith reached out and pushed Rosen back to his seat when he was halfway up.

This slightly outrageous move made Rosen feel shocked.

"This woman is not a good person. If there is no one to check and balance her, let alone learn magic, it is a matter of course whether she will be free in this life."

"And even if I try my best to get free, I will definitely miss the good time of learning spells."

You are a young man, when you should be working hard, how can you waste it on a group of villains?

So he immediately launched riskier alternatives.

Rosen suddenly became anxious and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, let's talk about it next time, otherwise the instructor will blame me."

Lilith simply said: "Little guy, to tell you the truth, he is no longer your mentor, let alone blame you."

She originally thought that after saying these words, the young man would be relieved, but she did not expect that the young man's face suddenly changed drastically and was filled with disappointment.

The young man lost his mind and said to himself: "How could it be? How could the instructor not want me? He clearly said that he wanted me to be his magic apprentice, and he also taught me magic!"

"Little guy, you are so innocent and cute."

Lilith giggled, with a hint of bitter sarcasm in her smile.

"That mage is a selfish man who tells lies. Every word he says is a lie to you. He teaches you spells just to make you paint for him willingly."

But without thinking, the young man shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, my mentor didn't lie to me. He told me clearly from the beginning. I painted for him and he taught me spells. Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

As he spoke, the corners of the young man's eyes became moist, and he seemed very sad.

Seeing the young man looking so weak and stupid, Lilith felt even more disdainful.

If it weren't for the other party's superb painting skills, she would have slapped him in the face at this time, letting this silly boy experience the cruelty of the real world!

For the sake of the gold coins, she endured it.

She patiently comforted him with gentle words: "Believe me, he will definitely not teach you spells."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint voice floated over from the stairs: "Miss Lilith, it is not honorable to slander the reputation of an official mage behind his back."

Lilith looked up and saw Cyrus walking slowly down the stairs and towards the corner where they were.

The young Rosen immediately stood up and trotted to Cyrus to explain: "Mentor, I didn't mean to do it. She didn't let me go back and lied to me that you didn't want me anymore."

Cyrus raised his hand and patted Rosen's shoulder gently, his face showing a gentleness like a father treating his son.

"Why would my mentor not want you? You are my only apprentice. I will eventually teach you all the skills I know."

Rosen's face was filled with excitement: "Thank you, mentor! I will not let you down and I will study hard."

Lilith couldn't stand it and couldn't help but sneer: "Hey~ among all the tragedies in the world, there is a fool and a liar!"

Cyrus patted Rosen's arm again: "Wait for me at the top of the stairs."

Afterwards, he walked to the corner table of the hall and sat down, and said seriously: "I swear in the name of Master Bo Qiujia, the first president of the Golden Dawn Academy, that I will do my best to teach Rosen and make him grow into a formal Master. Now, do you believe it?"

Lilith frowned slightly and said in a voice that was close to a whisper: "Mage, are you determined to go against our Nightingale Society?"

Cyrus shook his head and replied in a low voice: "No, you nightingales are too greedy. We should all make money together and everyone is happy, but you want to swallow it all in one bite. This is really ugly. "

"what on earth do you want?"

Cyrus smiled lightly: "As you can see, Rosen is obsessed with magic, and I am the only free official mage in White Horse Town. Only I can fulfill his wishes."

Lilith frowned: "So what? If he doesn't learn magic, he won't be able to draw?"

Cyrus could already smell the breath of victory. He raised his hand and lightly knocked on the table, making a "tap" sound, just like the sound of a war drum before launching a general attack.

"In terms of painting, Rosen is a genius, but he is also a child who has never seen the world. He is very stubborn and will immerse himself in whatever he sees."

"Of course you can prevent him from learning spells, but this will also kill his enthusiasm for painting. By then, you nightingales will get nothing."

"Do you think I will believe your lies?"

Although she said this, Lilith already believed it, because Rosen's previous performance was indeed amazingly stupid. At first glance, he looked like the kind of silly boy with a strong head.

Cyrus stepped back at the right moment.

"I only account for 40% of the income from painting. I promise that I will never poison or use curses on this child, and I will give him some pointers on magic from time to time to satisfy his curiosity about magic so that he can always maintain High enthusiasm for painting.”

Lilith fell silent.

She turned her head and glanced at the young man waiting at the top of the stairs, and saw that his face was full of embarrassment, and he looked over here from time to time, with very obvious anxiety on his face.

It was obvious that this guy was worried about being abandoned by Cyrus.

Cyrus also saw it and smiled slightly at Rosen to show his comfort.

He whispered: "Don't forget, it was me who discovered his talent, and I am also his most trusted and respected mentor. Every word I say has a huge influence on him."

Lilith was convinced.

"You account for 40% of the income from selling paintings, but my condition is that he cannot live with you. Except for teaching spells, you cannot contact him. And even if I teach spells, I must be present to prevent you from doing evil in secret! "

Seeing that Cyrus was silent, she gritted her teeth and threatened: "It is true that you are the only idle official mage in White Horse Town, but there are tens of thousands of official mage in the entire northern region! Also, the 20 crowns I gave you before are still Give me!"

Cyrus sighed lightly and agreed: "Okay, that's settled. But you will pay for the new residence."

Lilith shrugged, with contempt in her eyes: "I won't be as stingy as you. It's obviously a cornucopia, but you let people sleep on the floor and drink poison. From now on, he will live in the largest guest room of the Green Warbler Hotel, and live with me!"

"Ha~ Then you have to be careful, don't let him discover your true appearance."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Rosen, with a smile on his face: "My child, I plan to arrange a new studio for you. It is still in the Green Warbler Hotel, and you will live next door to me."

Hearing these words, Rosen was very happy.

With this plan, his lowest expectation was to use Lilith to get rid of Cyrus, first make a name for himself through painting, and then find an opportunity to learn spells.

But now it seems that Cyrus is more powerful than he thought, so he managed to achieve the best result as expected.

He did not hide his joy and almost jumped up on the spot with joy: "Really, mentor? This is really great!"

Lilith also walked over, smiling softly.

"Rosen, I made an agreement with your mentor. You will live with me from now on, and I will take care of your food, clothing, and daily life. You can just concentrate on learning spells and painting."

Rosen's face became even more joyful: "Miss Lilith, I'm glad that you can clear up the misunderstanding about my tutor, and thank you very much for your help. I will definitely work hard on painting, and I promise not to let learning spells delay my painting." "

Seeing his stupid look, Lilith resisted the urge to taunt him, but secretly rolled her eyes.

"It's really a fool who is so happy. He was so fooled that he was still happily having snot bubbled up in his nose."
