Chapter 280. Gift + Accept + Woo

At the same time, seeing Ninety-Nine so happy, Fenrir's heart also throbbed and secretly rejoiced.

throbbing because the little girl in front of me is so cute.

Secretly happy, it is because Fenrir, from the expression of Ninety-Nine, can see that this person really likes the Pope's gift. In other words, the likelihood of wooing is higher.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to be so happy...... Fenrir smiled bitterly in his heart, but at the same time, he didn't miss the opportunity.

In order to make Ninety-Nine understand the value of this book, he threw out the 'stepping stone' and politely asked, "How? Ninety-nine, are you satisfied with this gift?"

"Satisfied. His Holiness the Pope's gift is nothing short of a blessing."

Ninety-nine casually politely spoke, and his excited eyes were still glued to the magic book. And kept turning the pages.

"Truth be told, Lord Ninety-Nine, this magic book in your hand was written by the Pope himself. All the circles in it are composed in multiple layers. Even in our elven clan, this magic book is hard to find. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure."

Fenrir touted with a tone that had no ups and downs, completely unsuitable for sales.

"So, Your Holiness Pope, give me such a valuable magic book? For what?"

Ninety-nine's sudden words made Fenrir's heart beat faster.

He had intended to go on to explain how precious the book is and how complex it is to write in multiple layers.

But I never expected that Ninety-Nine would come to such a sentence.

- What's going on, she, she, does she know about multiple layers of writing?

- Isn't he a traverser?!

Just as Fenrir was stunned, Ninety-Nine continued:

"Each magic circle has more than a dozen auxiliary magic ...... written into it."

99 stopped flipping through the book and pressed his little hand against a magic circle, then injected magic into it.

Immediately, 17 magic circles burst out of the book.

「…… It must have taken a few years to make such a thick book."

Ninety-nine stared at Fenrir with a pair of sly red eyes.

"It's a very expensive gift. I'm just guarding a Red Devil's city, not an Elven city. I am truly ashamed to receive such a great gift."

After the pseudo-Lori finished speaking, she covered her hand and lifted the 17-sided magic circle. He closed the lavish magic book and pushed it towards Fenrir.

[Hide]

Due to the double reason that when he was in Hua Ying City, he was often exposed to the magic of the Black Feather Clan, and he read high-level magic books every day.

Therefore, the moment Ninety-Nine opened this magic book, he immediately realized the value of this magic book.

[Episode 1]

'It must take a few years to finish' is not a casual polite remark from 99, but a calculation based on the 'knowledge of another world' that he learned in Hua Ying Castle.

As Anna also often uses 'multi-layered writing', she reinforces her magic books. 99 itself occasionally uses the 'multi-layer writing extension formula'.

So he has a lot of research on this magic (multi-layered writing).

[Episode 2]

Although the previous 99, magic could not be used.

But 99 learned from Anna that it was a very cool thing to activate this 'magic array with multiple layers of writing attached'. (Anna's words at the time: 'It's addictive, like the excitement you get when you see those robots transform.' ’)

99 was very curious about what it was like to call it an addiction.

And now, 99 gets it – it's really addictive!

This feeling of extending, expanding, and combining new magic arrays from one magic circle is like watching a mechanical transformation 'tactilely'.

As a boy who likes to watch mechas,This 'tactile' mechanical sense,It's really,It's hard to refuse.。

And this is one of the reasons why 'she' closed the book: she was afraid that she would not be able to control her hand that wanted to activate a few more spells.

As for the other two reasons:

First, I am embarrassed to accept it.

Second, they suspected fraud and did not dare to accept it.

【Hidden End】

Seeing Ninety-Nine's respectful and cautious refusal, Fenrir felt apprehensive.

The contrast between his too childish appearance and his too cautious actions made Fenrir feel excited and frightened.

But he had already figured out how to deal with the situation.

"Ninety-nine adults, they are really smart. Then I'll make it clear."

Fenrir said, leaning forward, as if to show his 'seriousness'.

"Actually, the Pope gave you this gift, not only to thank you for protecting Coswall, but also to make friends with you."

"Oh...... That's right." The pseudo-Lori made a long note and blinked her red pupils blankly.

[Hide]

"Hmph, it turned out that I wanted to win over Lao Tzu......"

He didn't ask a rhetorical question, because the reason given by Fenrir was almost unassailable.

- If you can't beat them, try to win them over, and even if you can't be friends, try not to make them enemies. This is an iron rule that will not change in all worlds.

- Of course, there is also a dark side to this iron: if it can't be co-opted, get rid of it.

"Hehehe......"

Thinking of this, the pseudo-Lori smiled bitterly.

And while Ninety-Nine was thinking, Fenrir continued:

【Hidden End】

"So Ninety-Nine, if you don't dislike it, please accept this magic book."

Fenrir said, spreading his hands. He did his best to 'pause' to show the reverence of his heart.

However, his overly dark cold countenance and disrespectful cold voice really did not show the 'reverence' he wanted.

In some ways, Fenrir and Ninety-Nine are complete opposites.

Ninety-nine is the ultimate cute, and Fenrir is the ultimate cold.

The former is heartwarming no matter what he does, and the latter is terrifying no matter what he does.

"Heh, this tone is absolutely ......," Ninety-Nine complained in his heart.

Although Ninety-Nine can understand through Fenrir's sentence that this one wants to express the respect in his heart.

However, this person's tone is really flattering. How does it sound like a threat.

"Ah, this tone, absolutely ......" Ninety-Nine smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still maintained a quiet smile on the surface, nodded, and thanked knowingly: "Your Excellency's thoughts, how can I dislike it. In that case, I accepted it with gratitude."

With that, 99 stretched out his little hand and pressed it on the golden magic book. Immediately, the book disappeared.

Seeing this, Fenrir let out a long breath in his heart.

The stone that had been hanging in my heart finally fell at this moment.

After exchanging polite words, Ninety-Nine left the Tieying Guild with Gennai.

Before leaving, Ninety-Nine did not forget to confirm the 'two little girls' off work time with Sister Wrist.
