***
Everyone who heard Malina’s words just wanted to slap her in the mouth a 100 times.
Are you useless? How are you useless when?you made a disciple of Fifth Elder your personal knight?
The crowd was so angry that their lungs were about to explode. One must know that the people here, including Malina’s siblings, and their own knights were at best only high level magicians.
Of course, the level of those magicians were definitely not higher than Mardian’s level, only ranging from level 30 to 50.
And they were just minor nobles, or outstanding students at Karol magic academy.
But being the Fifth Elder’s students was a completely different matter.
You must know that, if Mardian meets the Fifth Elder, he must bow his head, and show?utmost respect. This is enough to show how respected being the disciple of Fifth Elder is.
It can be said that Alec’s position is equal to Mardian’s.
After Malina finished speaking, she glanced at her siblings filled with contempt. Of course, that look only appeared for a second and then disappeared.
She then said sadly: “I don’t have many resources, only 1,000 gold coins a month so I can only ask Fifth Elder’s student to be my knight.”
“If we had more resources, I guarantee i could do better.”
“Dad! Don’t hate me, I know I’m useless, I’ll try harder.”
Mardian: “…”
Everybody: “…”
Although Malina spoke with words full of sadness and humility, everyone in this place, including Mardian, felt as if their faces were being slapped very painfully by Malina.
What the hell? 1,000 gold coins a month was enough to make a student of Fifth Elder’s your personal knight. If you had more, would you take the Fifth Elder as your personal knight too?
If Malina is useless then what about the people here? Were They any better?
Madiam and Mavis also felt like Malina had just slapped their faces.
They felt so much Anger, and?jealousy that it was as if two bombs were about to explode inside their hearts.
Madiam was so angry, he continuously shook his head and muttered: “No! Fake! It’s fake! He cannot be an Elder’s student.”
“That’s right.” Mavis also added: “An Elder’s student must be a classy person, and they certainly won’t dress like a beggar.”
Mardian felt that what his children said was reasonable, but he rubbed his chin and said: “You’re right, however, that magic mark does indeed come from the Enchanter Tower, magic marks cannot be faked.”
“In other words, he is actually a student of the Fifth Elder.”
When Madiam, Mavis and Malina’s other siblings heard that they were immediately scared.
“However…” Suddenly, Mardian spoke up and continued: “This is our family’s private matter. Alec, if you are a knight of Malina, you must obey the rules of this family.”
“Of course.” Alec smiled confidently: “Mardian, I just want to say… this bet, I want to increase the bet.”
“Oh! How do you want to increase it? Mardian frowned and said.
“Wait!” Suddenly, Madiam shouted in worry.
“Hahahaha… What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Alec smiled teasingly, he glanced at Madiam, making Madiam feel a bit embarrassed.
However, Madiam still gritted his teeth and said: “Father! If Alec is a student of the Fifth Elder, then I think he can take out many valuable things.”
Mardian heard that and nodded: “That’s right.”
“Huh! A petty person.” Alec said contemptuously.
“What did you just say?!” Madiam angrily shouted: “You came here dressed like a beggar to trick everyone, right?”
“That’s right.” Mavis also shouted: “You and Malina have already prepared a plan to lure everyone into a trap.”
“Hahahaha… Malina, you are really like your mother, you know how to seduce men and how to deceive others.”
Before Malina could get angry, Alec glanced at Mavis and asked: “What is your name?”
“Hm?! What do you mean?”
Malina smiled, but immediately hid her smile. She grabbed Alec’s sleeve and said softly: “Alec, don’t hurt Mavis.”
“Ah! So your name is Mavis…” Alec nodded and said: “I want to put her in the bet.”
“Wait!” Mardian spoke up: “Alec, you also heard what my son just said. After all, you are a student of the Fifth Elder, so you certainly have many valuable things.”
“Then.. as long as you take out something of equal or greater value than the gift my son just gave me, you will win.”
Hearing that, Madiam breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he still felt a bit worried, he didn’t think the poorly dressed Alec could take out high-value items.
Besides… up until now, he had rarely heard information about the Elders of Enchanter Tower accepting students. If the Fifth Elder accepted a student but he hasn’t received news yet, that means Alec hasn’t been a student of the Fifth Elder for long.
From the above information, Madiam feels that Alec cannot advance in this bet.
Mardian glanced at his children, then looked back at Alec: “So… do you accept this bet?”
Alec laughed loudly: “Hahahaha… good, then I also want to increase the bet. Malina must enjoy resources distributed by the family at twice the highest level.”
“Good, that’s not a big deal.” Mardian said smiling.
Alec continued: “Besides… if I win, the other two, Madiam and Mavis, must kneel down and apologize to Malina.”
“You…” Madiam was about to shout but Mavis reached out to stop him. She looked at Madiam and shook her head. Seeing that, he also took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
Mardian responded very comfortably: “Good! But in return, if you lose, Malina must follow the family’s arrangements. Besides, you… must serve one of my children for five years.” .𝒎
“If you are ready, this bet will begin. If you do not agree, from now on, Malina will no longer be a member of this family.”
“What do you mean, Alec…”
Alec smiled and said: “Of course I will agree. I hope that when you fail, you will still keep your promise.”
“Of course…” Mardian said firmly: “As long as you win, I will definitely keep my promise, the nobles here will be witnesses to this bet.”
“Dad!” Madiam and Mavis said in unison, they wanted to say something but Mardian’s words stopped their voices.
“Shut up! I have already decided, if you don’t want to participate in this bet, then why did you start it in the first place?
Madiam, Mavis and the other children of Mardian could only grit their teeth and stay silent, and swallow the words they wanted to say in their stomachs.
Alec felt great satisfaction as he witnessed this scene. That’s right, this was the scene he wanted to see, just a little more until he could flex perfectly.
“So…” Mardian looked at Alec, frowned and said: “Please take out the item you want to make this bet on.”
Alec smiled disdainfully, and took out a small red box from his space bag, the box was made of wood, and about the size of a fist.
“I just became a student of Fifth Elder, so I only have a small gift like this. I hope… you don’t mind.”
Alec finished speaking and handed the box to Malina, signaling her to offer the gift to Mardian.
Of course Malina knew what to do, she held the box tightly in her hand, and slowly walked up each step leadimg to the platform and offered the box to Mardian.
Mardian glanced at Alec, then looked at Malina, and said: “My daughter, open that box.”
Malina knew that Mardian was worried that there was something dangerous inside the box, so he let her open the box. 𝘳.𝑐𝘰
In her heart, Malina felt both angry and miserable. What could be more painful than the fact that her father did not trust her?
However, Malina did not dare to refute him, she just turned the box towards Mardian, slowly opening the lid.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a stream of fragrance from inside the box spread out, covering the entire hall, making everyone feel extremely comfortable.
Mardian also smelled that scent, it was a fragrance that came from the finest herbs, used for healing.
The lid of the box was completely opened, revealing a purple pill, on the pill there were two white lines of light shining like neon bulbs.
Mardian saw the pill in front of him, and he was immediately startled, his eyes filled with surprise and joy.
His trembling hands reached closer to the box, he held the box in his hands as if holding an extremely precious item. In fact, he only dared to hold it gently because he felt that if he held it too hard, the box would break.
After holding the box in his hand, Mardian looked at the pill inside the box, feeling extremely happy. At this moment, he was not like a level 80 Magician, much less a Marquis who was respected by many people.
He was like a rustic, seeing something luxurious and precious for the first time.
Looking at Mardian’s expression, his children knew… they had lost.
Madiam and Mavis trembled, they were extremely worried. If they lost, they were afraid they would lose all their honor this evening.
Mardian of course did not pay attention to his children, he only cared about the pill he was holding in his hand, stroking it as if it were his lover.
“Well? Is that pill enough for me to win?” Alec said, his voice filled with contempt and teasing.
Mardian of course did not pay attention to that, he repeatedly nodded and said: “Enough! Enough! I declare…”
“Wait! Dad, what pill is that? Why did he win?” Madiam now spoke up.
Mavis also added: “That’s right. Even if we lose, we must know how we lost.”
Mardian glanced at Madiam and Mavis with cold eyes and said: “This is the ‘Longevity Pill’, a 5-star medicine. Its effect is to help a person prolong their life by 20 years.”
“Don’t mention your two-colored elemental stone. Even if you have 20 two-colored elemental stones, you probably won’t be able to exchange it for this pill.”
Hearing that, everyone took a deep breath, their eyes looking towards Alec were full of admiration and fear.
When Alec saw everyone’s gaze, he puffed out his chest, and held his head high.
‘That’s right. This was the scenario he wanted. Admire me, fear me… you are just tools for me to flex and face-slap.’
‘Hahahaha… so comfortable. It’s been a long time… since I felt this again. Since meeting that bastard Lathel, I can no longer flex comfortably like this.’
‘Today… I, Alec, will become a star in the sky.’
