Chapter 969: Self-defeating
"What? You're also going to attend the Academy of Magic's admissions ceremony?" Alfie was taken aback, looking at Killian's sassy outfit, he thought that Killian was already a magician.
"Ah~ It's really difficult! The maximum age limit for entering the Academy of Magic is seventeen years old, beyond which even I can't enter the Academy of Magic through normal channels. Killian said with a frustrated stroke of his long blue hair.
"Ten, seventeen?" was probably one of the few instances where Alfie had lost his eyes, and he thought Killian should be in his twenties. The slickness and sophistication that Killian exhibited was by no means possessed by a seventeen-year-old.
"Seventeen years old, is there a problem?" asked Killian.
"Hehe, you're really ready to step on the line and enter the Academy of Magic!" Alfie chuckled. Thankfully, he reacted quickly enough so that he didn't seem too rude.
"In this way, others will talk less gossip, and my father should be happy~" Killian said with an exaggerated bitter face.
Killian would not say that it was because he had been self-defeating last night, and the ball that had been carefully planned to tie many nobles to the Richelieu family ship ended up being too out of place in the situation last night, which not only aroused the suspicion of the palace, but also made many nobles dissatisfied with him.
Although those noble children did not have such a mind, how could the heads of the treacherous and cunning families behind them not see that their children were being used by Killian. So after last night's incident, there was an undercurrent surging among the entire imperial capital, on the surface, Kirian's behavior made the Prime Minister's Mansion invincible last night, but the final result made the Prime Minister's Mansion invisibly isolated.
The old prime minister Richelieu was keenly aware of this undercurrent, so he immediately decided to let Killian enter the Academy of Magic to avoid the limelight by taking advantage of today's enrollment in the Academy of Magic. Originally, with Killian's identity, there was no need to do this, but after careful consideration, the old prime minister decided that it would be more appropriate to add a talisman with a magic academy background to Killian.
So no matter how resolutely Killian himself objected, he was still ordered by the old prime minister to attend the enrollment ceremony of the Academy of Magic today.
"Killian, here's what Lord Richelieu has asked me to prepare for you, please check it out. As Killian and Alfie spoke, Willy took a communal storage bag from the Scarlet Rose and handed it to Killian.
Last night, to be precise, in the early hours of this morning, after the old prime minister made a decision, he immediately sent a list to Willy through some secret channel, which was one of the conditions for Killian to agree to enter the magic academy, and the old prime minister chose the blood rose almost without hesitation after browsing the list listed by Killian.
It can only be said that Lao Zai knows Killian's plans well, and he is also full of confidence in the background of the Scarlet Rose, but he worked hard for Boss Willy, in order to make up the items on the list, plus the girl killed him again, and entrusted Alfie to him such a burden, so that Willy almost didn't sleep all night.
"Boss Willy, you're amazing! you have everything I need ready in such a short time!" Killian said to Willy with a sad face after opening the storage bag and glancing at it.
It was something he had racked his brains to come up with after the bad news that he had to go to the Academy of Magic for a while last night, and he might use it in the future. Originally, he thought that no one would be able to prepare these things in such a short time, and he planned to use this as an excuse to refuse to attend the entrance ceremony.
As long as these two days passed, after his seventeenth birthday, Richelieu's plan to force him to enter the Academy of Magic would be bankrupt. By then, the rumors of last night should have gradually subsided, and if he pretends to be pitiful again, he may be able to fool him over.
Unexpectedly, after getting the list he listed, the old prime minister only threw him a meaningful smile. Now he realized that the old man, who had been planning for a long time, had prepared for this in just a few hours.
"The accumulation of two thousand years of blood-colored roses is not in vain. Willie said quietly. Alfie silently gave Willy a thumbs up in his heart, this is the highest level of pretending.
"yes, it really lives up to its name. The problem is like the hooves of a unicorn, the nails of an elf, the mane of a druid transformed into a demon lion...... How did you get this kind of thing?" said Killian, with a look of amazement. The things listed in his list were originally meant to make things difficult for the old prime minister, and he never expected that the blood roses would be in stock.
"Although these things are precious, they are all raw materials for the preparation of pharmaceutical agents. Willie explained unhurriedly, "Maybe you don't know, when Madison was still the president of the Royal Society of Pharmacists, he would often visit the Scarlet Rose to buy some ingredients that are not easy to obtain. ”
Alfie's face was full of capital letters, and Willy quietly blocked Killian's question, as if the Scarlet Rose originally had these strange ingredients, but did not answer directly where these ingredients came from, but it still made Killian unable to find fault.
"Master Madison, I heard that he has recently been promoted to the rank of Sacred Domain Apothecary, and he is a myth in the pharmacist profession. Killian was distorted by Willy's words, and his attention was focused on Madison, revealing a look of longing on his face.
"There is also a branch of pharmacy in the Academy of Magic, and I think you are very talented in this area. Willie meant something to imply.
"Pharmaceutic?" Killian frowned, his face full of disgust, "I don't want to deal with those disgusting potion ingredients!"
"Do you think so? Originally, I thought that you were going to go in the direction of a pharmacist by naming those precious materials!" Willy said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Killian froze slightly after hearing this, he couldn't say that this was the intention of making things difficult for the old prime minister. He rolled his eyes twice, and immediately had an idea after catching a glimpse of Alfie on the side: "Aha~ I think Alfie may be very talented as a pharmacist! Boss Willy, don't worry, if Alfie chooses to become a pharmacist, I can give him a copy of these materials on my list." ”
Alfie's face was full of inexplicability, and she didn't understand where Killian could see that he had a talent for a pharmacist, or ...... Alfie wasn't stupid, all he lacked was experience, and he almost immediately concluded that Killian was trying to divert his attention.
"Haha, I'm also optimistic about Alfie's pharmacist talent~" Willy gave Alfie a look silently, "Then after entering the magic academy, Alfi will ask you to take care of it." ”
"Gah?" Killian was still complacent about his clever change of topic, but he didn't expect to fall into Willy's trap, but he has been nurtured by the old prime minister for many years, and Killian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the aristocratic temperament that disappeared before inadvertently returned to him again.
Killian looked at Alfie seriously and nodded: "If Alfie is really good, he should take care of it." ”
