Chapter 226

She looked away from Marianne, and returned to Robb's face.

Robb smiled and said, "I conceived of a new magic item. Since I didn't have the money to do it, I asked Miss Marianne to invest. We are going to the jewelry store now to buy materials and make new magic items."

"Oh? Is that so?" Madeleine's tone was light, she turned to Marianne, and said solemnly: "You actually invested in this man? Do you know what kind of person he is? He went to the dark prostitutes in the middle of the night to find Happy scumbag, I advise you to try to keep your distance from this kind of man and stay away from him."

Marianne looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer this.

But Robb laughed beside him: "Miss Madeleine, my classmate invested in my invention to please you, but you actually persuaded her to ignore me. Embarrassed or not?"

"Huh?" Madeleine suddenly understood, she took a deep look at Marianne, then turned to Robb and said, "If you want to go to the jewelry store, go quickly, you must go back to school before dark, remember , Although you are not a high-ranking official, but after last night's incident, you have also become one of the assassination targets, don't go to that nameless street again, and don't forget how Earl Amos died."

Chapter 314 This is too unremarkable

With Miss Madeleine's exhortation, Robb and Marianne walked into the street together.

Marianne looked very embarrassed just now, but after walking a distance, she returned to normal, and asked with a smile, "You went to play with a prostitute and was caught by the Grand Duke Madeleine?"

Robb had no choice but to spread his hands and not speak.

Marianne smiled and said, "It's really too careless. It's okay for anyone to know about it. Why did the Duke of Madeleine know about it? Do you not want to live?"

Robb: "Hey, what does this have to do with living?"

Marianne smiled and said: "As long as it is a famous family with a long history, who doesn't know how close Madeleine's family and your Smith family were sixteen years ago?"

"Oh?" Luo Baiqi said: "I grew up in the country, but I don't know very well. Tell me about it."

Marianne smiled and said: "The heads of your two families, one is the leader of the Black Earth Knights, the other is the leader of the Gale Knights, the grand duke and the great court magician are the most trusted and loyal subordinates of the previous king. It's natural that there will be many marriages. If you marry a daughter today, and marry a concubine tomorrow, the direct line and the collateral line are entangled. Your aunt might become her aunt, and her uncle might be you. My uncle, anyway, it's so complicated that outsiders can't understand it."

Robb: "..."

Marianne said with a smile: "Even outsiders like us know that the fourth master of the Smith family loved Madeleine very much, and said on various occasions, both publicly and privately, that when Madeleine grew up, she would let her son grow up. Come and propose a kiss."

Robb: "..."

Marianne said with a smile: "How can a big man talk nonsense? It's also true to joke in private! Especially when it's said in public, it's a sure thing to get married, and Madeleine's parents, of course, already have it. Prepared, as expected, she was educated by her parents since she was a child, and she will marry into the Smith family when she grows up."

Robb: "That's a little out of place."

Marianne spread her hands: "As a result, sixteen years ago, there was a great change, the Smith family was destroyed, the country was usurped by Mondra, and Madeleine was chased and killed along with Her Majesty the Queen. When she saw you, it was like she saw a dream that had been broken for 16 years and started again, but... you actually went to prostitutes?"

Robb: "Pfft!"

This is really a bit tragic. Robb has to sympathize with a wave of Miss Madeleine. The real Smith family is long overdue. This fake can't support her fairy tale without a follow-up. Everything can only be To be counted as a trick of fate.

Marianne smiled and said, "But don't worry, the grand duke is obviously not really angry. It's normal for men to go out and play on the scene. It's too normal in our circle. If you can't tolerate this, it's really immature. Look, She was telling you just now to be careful, don't go back too late, her concern is beyond words, and the little mistake you made has already been forgotten. Because she would never regard a prostitute as her opponent. Ah, if you have an affair with a certain noble lady, maybe she will be a little more angry."

Speaking of which, Marianne seemed to think of something and smiled: "This noble lady does not include me, I will not offend the Grand Duke for a man, and my family still wants to live on the road of light."

Robb: "..."

It's embarrassing, nothing to say.

Not long after, the two came to the center of the city. At this time, knights, soldiers, and guards were running around the entire road of light. Several major knights had divided the road of light into many areas, and then sent a large number of knights, soldiers, and guards. Soldiers, searching area by area.

Of course, Bright Road is a huge city, and searching for a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is not so easy to find.

When the two came to the jewelry store, the housekeeper of the Marian family was already here, with a small box in his hand, and when they saw Robert, they immediately asked, "Master Robert Smith, hello. "

He didn't need an introduction when he met, and he could call out Robb's name. It could be seen that the Marian family had really been eyeing them for a long time.

Robb is also welcome. He took the investor into the jewelry store and picked 25 rubies of good quality. The ruby ​​is not a very rare gem, and it is not expensive, as long as it is not deliberate Look for the big one to buy, but choose the small one, and you don't need much money.

Anyway, when you make magic items, you have to break rubies, so there is no problem with buying large ones. He chose a ruby ​​that was about the same size as the ruby ​​he took out on No. 32, and it was only two gold coins, which was exactly fifty gold coins. Buy another 20 iron ingots, this is worthless, and no one cares for dozens of silver coins.

After buying the materials, I stopped wandering outside, and hurried back to school with Marianne.

At this time, it was not too early, and most of the students went back to the dormitory. Because the city was under martial law, Conte and others did not dare to go out, but they all shrunk, resulting in quietness in the academy.

What Robb didn't expect was that Madeleine was still "patroling" at the school gate. Seeing Robb coming back before dark, she stopped patrolling immediately, and said to several of her subordinates, "The security of the academy is okay. Okay, let's go to the city and see."

After speaking, he disappeared without a trace with a large group of his subordinates in an instant.

Robb didn't know what to say either, forget it, ignore her. First went to No. 32, borrowed an expert blacksmith from the royal family, and then took Marian and the blacksmith and hid in a small room.

First, 25 pieces of rubies are broken into pieces, then 25 pieces of iron ingots are also fired and melted into molten iron, the powder of rubies is put into the molten iron, stirred and fused, and then it is time to plasticize.

The blacksmith couldn't help asking, "What shape are you going to mold it into?"

Robb smiled: "Honeycomb type! Do you understand? It's just one grid, many small grids, it looks like a honeycomb-like structure."

"Oh? This is not difficult for me, but what's the point of doing it like this?" The blacksmith was at a loss.

"Don't worry about it, just do it."

The blacksmith doesn't talk anymore, just do it! Anyway, the noble man can't afford to offend himself, just be obedient.

He does not have a ready-made honeycomb mold, but this is not a problem. First, make a few small boxes, and then fuse the small boxes together. Finally, make a large honeycomb with five horizontal and five vertical lines, a total of 25 grids. .

The blacksmith has absolutely no idea what he is making. Is an iron beehive useful? He said blankly, "Is this all it takes?"

Chapter 315 Please come down to see the Queen

Robb threw a handful of silver coins to the blacksmith: "Yes! You can get off work."

The blacksmith did not expect to have money to take, so he happily took the money and left.

With Robb and Marianne left, Marianne said curiously, "It's time for my question, how is this hive going to play?"

Robb said with a smile: "What else is there to say? Write runes on it."

He took out the pen with a swipe, then took out the bottle of "Magic Essence Ink" that Marian gave him during the day, and said with a smile: "The rune drawn during the day on the 32nd, I have already memorized it. , now to paint it all over this hive..."

"Oh, I remembered that too, and I'm here to help." Marianne also took out a pen.

The two of you have a rune, and I drew a rune on the beehive.

The next day, early in the morning, it was time for the first class.

Wearing a black cloak and holding a staff, No. 32 swaggered into the classroom.

"Master is good!"

"Hello students."

After greeting, No. 32 immediately focused on Robb and Marianne. He is very stingy and vengeful. He hasn't forgotten what happened yesterday. He said to Robb strangely: "Robert, yesterday you pulled Let Marianne invest in you and run to do 'new inventions', now can I ask what your new inventions look like?"

"Of course you can." Robb smiled: "It's completely made, and I can show it to you at any time, but... it takes a long time to prepare this thing to cast once, and it takes a lot of fire magician. So I think it will be a bit of a waste of the fire magician's hard work to simply demonstrate it to you. Can you invite Her Majesty the Queen to watch it together? And the important ministers in the court, please come and forget it, we will do it in one demonstration. , let everyone have a good look."
