Mages themselves possess special abilities and are also at the top of the power structure, and this group is generally wealthy except for special reasons. Most of them are private mansions that have a double function as a working room.

Female mages - Witches prefer high-rise buildings such as towers, while male mages are eager for atmospheric designs such as castles that cover enough space. Due to the limitations of their respective titles and economic conditions, the specifications and functional perfection of the mansions also vary.

Baron Gilles de Rice was quite wealthy, inherited the property and land of his ancestors, and in previous years had inherited a large inheritance from a deceased relative, which was not as rich as the wealthy V.E Company.

In addition, unlike other nobles, the baron regarded waste as a virtue and flaunting wealth as an obligation. By carefully setting his own consumption expenses, the baron never had to make ends meet.

Sufficient capital, planned and controlled consumption. With both of these qualities, the Baron could be ranked in the top three of the richest teachers at the National Academy of Magic.

That being said, the Baron is also a human being with curiosity and hobbies, so it is normal to devote some of his money, time, and energy to something that may not be useful for a lifetime, but is purely a personal interest.

"There is a freshness to life and life. ”

The baron picked up the teacup, the steam entered his nostrils, carefully distinguishing the proportion of vanilla, strawberry jam, and black tea in Fangfei, and said with some intoxication:

"Day after day, repeating a spotless life can be desensitizing. There may be one or two people who can find change in the same place, but most people will gradually lose the pursuit of the beauty of change. That's why. We need to change our lives from static with no change to dynamic with change...... What do you think?

"Uh...... It seems that this is indeed the case. ”

The beautiful girl in the evening dress replied a little stiffly, and the baron noticed that there was not embarrassment in those lilac eyes caused by not being able to communicate, but the distress of understanding the linkage.

Are you comparing yourself with someone you know, and as a result, you are troubled by the difference in your attitude towards life?

Intrigued by the little girl who was hiding an unknown side, the baron nodded to the side.

A strap-shaped barbed tentacle lifted the teapot and filled the teacup with water, without limbs or head, leaving only a circular mouth full of inverted triangular sharp teeth at the root of the middle - like an invertebrate starfish in the ocean, the special enlarged version of the demon standing beside Roland, the small white apron with a semi-circle and the strange shape tied to the body The sense of disobedience was so high that it seemed to sense Roland's gaze, I don't know why. The blue-blue body instantly changed to a reddish body color.

(Difficult.) Isn't it shy?!)

Cold sweat welled up from the corners of the "girl's forehead", and she hurriedly swallowed a cup of black tea to calm her mind.

Incredible, the taste is quite good, and it is in line with the unexpected style of the glass flower room of the baron's house.

The cool breeze of the night wafts the scent of flowers. It is soaked into the heart and spleen together with the fragrance of tea. Indulge in it. Look around. They are all exotic flowers collected from all over the world, and they show their graceful posture under the illumination of magic lamps. Looking up, there is a huge stage of stars and moon hanging overhead.

"The change of life. The changes of heaven and earth, the changes of the microcosm, the changes of the macrocosm...... Is it?"

A soft murmur that overflowed from his lips flowed into the baron's ears, and Les laughed in the resonance of emotion and understanding.

(A good girl, indeed.) ）

When he first saw the maid girl named Zhen, some kind of paralyzing impact erupted from the deepest part of his brain and soul, and Les, who had not experienced this feeling for a long time, was almost dizzy.

It's not the appearance that is beautiful, but the inner noble temperament and intellectual wisdom are the most attractive.

You can't be mistaken, even though you are wearing a maid's dress, you can taste and appreciate the layout of the garden with your heart, and then understand and analyze it. As a magician, the most important thing is this nuanced observation and the ability to breed innovation. Knowledge and the like can be strengthened by guò learning, but talent is hard to come by.

(It's not like a girl from an ordinary family...... It's a shame to be a civilian, but if you're a magician, you'll be able to leave a place in history. ）

There have been two such women in the past, who have the same outstanding qualifications as the girl in front of them, and as mentors, Les and the headmaster are full of expectations for them to display their talents, but in the end, ......

"Guest...... Your Excellency, Baron?"

Surprised by Les's sudden motionlessness with the cup, the girl asked curiously.

(What a gaffe.) ）

The baron, who noticed that he was distracted, secretly blamed himself, and covered up his embarrassment with the act of drinking tea, and after a moment of calm, the baron asked:

"Zhen, what do you think of the researchers who deviate from the common path?"

"Huh?"

"It's not that the demonic ways that abuse their power are the same belief in the Mother Goddess as we do, and that they believe in God's love for the world. In order to seek the truth, break the established framework, and make people's lives better, he was regarded as heretical and evil by conservative forces, and finally was abandoned by people, the mother goddess. ”

After a moment of sudden realization, the girl fell silent, and the baron stopped asking, and slowly rubbed his hand under the table.

"In the past, someone told me. ”

The girl seemed to be sad, and as if there was some understanding in her voice, the baron who blamed herself for her recklessness pulled back.

"If intelligent life wants to progress, the last thing it needs is ethics and feelings. Now that you have set your goals, pinning your progress on these essentially illusory things will only lead to your own destruction. ”

This statement...... Alas, of course, there is an opinion, but ......"

The baron shook his head, the heat in his belly like a basin of cold water.

As a person who investigates the truth, it is the right way to use every means to explore and investigate after determining the belief, but this statement also contains the meaning of ruthlessly eliminating all opposing conservative forces. It is tantamount to going from one extreme to the other, thus sowing the seeds of strife.

Maybe that's a very sad person, that's why he sees things this way.

The baron, who thought so, saw the girl nod and shook his head.

He also said that specific knowledge or intelligence, even a little bit, when used at the right time, could change the entire world in an instant, such as a giant golem that can fly through the sky and rush into enemy formations, a super explosion that instantly flattens an entire city, a levitation technique that lifts a huge rock into the air and causes it to fall, and a huge impact that obscures the sunlight and coldens the ground...... Maybe it's an absurd idea that no one cares about, but once it happens......"

The baron wavered, a situation he had never conceived, and when the maiden said it, he had to admit that it was indeed terrible. After a moment, he leaned out and asked in a low voice:

"So, they ...... Are these researchers who are exploring new 'theories' doing something wrong?"

The girl smiled innocently, and declared in the most formal and solemn way:

If even the search for the truth is wrong, then where is the truth?"

At this moment, Baron Rice was completely obsessed with the girl pretended by Roland, Zhen. (To be continued......)
