...
According to what he knew, Jon was actually favored by a high-ranking official of the Empire Military Departnt, just like countless students from humble backgrounds, marrying into a family was their only way out.
Unfortunately, Jon’s current Status was not yet worthy of that investnt.
Lin Suo took the initiative to lend a hand.
Just rembering this favor would suffice.
Even if he doesn’t rember this favor, it doesn’t matter; it’s probably just a few words’ difference.
Releasing the vines that bound Jon, Lin Suo walked towards the door; his matter was just a minor interlude.
The key lay with Princess Pelotova.
He had no idea what Goodnight had told her.
Elf Lake.
The Rhein family.
Lin Suo sat opposite the Ice Princess.
He was preparing tea, while Catherine curiously observed the decor and ornants in Lin Suo’s ho, many of which were items not found in the Ice Plain.
"Your Highness, please."
"Teacher, no need to be so formal, just call Catherine. In the academy, I am just a student."
"Alright then, Student Catherine, are you experiencing any difficulties in language studies?"
"Sowhat related."
Princess Catherine sipped her tea and said,
"I heard from Professor Goodnight that Teacher Rhein is proficient in Ancestor Giant Language, and I have so things I’d like to ask you to look at."
Ancestor Giant Language?
To be honest, he wasn’t proficient in that at the ti of the examination; Professor Goodnight had no reason to introduce Catherine to him; there must be ulterior motives.
But now is different.
Recently, he had acquired the Ancestor Giant Language from inehoer, and although it was only a side research interest during his spare ti, he was able to understand the relevant literature.
Just not able to integrate it into Magic Spells.
So what’s the purpose then?
If he cannot offer help, would that make Catherine unfriendly towards him?
It didn’t seem like it.
Then what was it, sothing serious enough to get him kicked out of the academy?
The contents of the literature?
Must be it.
Quickly coming to the most reasonable conclusion, Lin Suo opened his mouth and said,
"I have done only a little research, Student Catherine. If the content of the literature is too sensitive, I wouldn’t recomnd you co to for translation."
"This..."
Catherine thought for a mont; previously, Professor Goodnight had said that Teacher Rhein was eager to help and proficient in Ancestor Giant Language, so she ca without much thought.
Now upon further consideration, it also seed sowhat inappropriate.
She imdiately took out a piece of blank paper and drew several complex symbols on it.
"Teacher, just help decipher a few complex characters."
"That should be no problem."
Lin Suo took the paper and observed it for a mont, had an understanding, and then, pretending to study it, pulled out the Book of Giants that inehoer had given him.
"Student Catherine, look here."
"Hmm?"
"This symbol represents Frost and the Giant God, with anings of reverence, worship, life’s purpose, hope, and the final Dawn."
"This character represents Death..."
"This..."
Lin Suo rattled on eloquently, like a learned and talkative orator.
Even translating stiff characters could be made coherent and lively, occasionally pulling in an anecdote or legend.
Catherine listened with eyes flashing with wonder.
Teacher Rhein, indeed a talent hard to co by, almost as Professor Goodnight had said, it would be great if she could recruit him to the Extre Academy.
Perhaps she could try?
After a while.
With a dry mouth from talking, Lin Suo grabbed his teacup and took a gulp.
Seeing Catherine sowhat distracted, he couldn’t help but frown; it was an occupational hazard of teaching to be a bit annoyed at seeing soone daydreaming.
Catherine also ca back to her senses, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Just as he was about to speak.
A white-bearded old man suddenly appeared in the room.
It was the lead Wizard of the Ice Plain.
"Grandpa Kale! How did you co here?"
Catherine exclaid in surprise.
"Hmph, Your Highness, if I didn’t co, the Ice Plain’s secrets would have been completely revealed by you. Didn’t I tell you to go to the General Association and ask the Vice President for help? What is going on?!"
"If it weren’t for Goodnight blabbering, I wouldn’t even know you ca here."
The old man nad Kale, with his gaze turned towards Lin Suo, spoke in a chilling tone.
"Kid, co with to the Committee."
"Grandpa Kale, it’s not what you think. Teacher Rhein was just helping with a few characters that I’ve been unable to understand."
Catherine hurriedly explained.
"Now, I can figure out the content of the docunts by myself."
Kale snorted and glared fiercely.
"I don’t believe you, co with ."
Lin Suo couldn’t help it anymore. After the elder’s outburst, he almost guessed how things had unfolded, a straightforward conspiracy.
Using Catherine’s eagerness and Wizard Kale’s loyalty to the Ice Plain, they aid to remove him indirectly.
"Ridiculous."
Lin Suo shook his head.
"Not trusting your own Princess, how laughable your Ice Plain is."
"Kid, what did you say!"
Kale’s expression changed, becoming instantly overcast, as nine layers of icy blue Magic Rings expanded from him, exuding an extrely strong Magic Power pressure.
However, Lin Suo did not back down, just a re Ninth Ring... he imdiately retorted.
"I have so unsettled scores with Professor Goodnight, and you... have been used by an old rival without even realizing it. I really doubt if the rumors are false, could you even match Professor Goodnight as a rival?!"
"You!"
Kale was ready to take action, the intense chill spreading from his feet, beginning to freeze everything around him.
Lin Suo quickly took a decorative gem from the tabletop, a Shadow Stone, and threw it to Kale.
Ever since Isso started shadowing him, trying to catch his "affair" with Iris, he had installed Shadow Stones in his room, to vouch for his innocence at critical monts.
He didn’t expect it to co in handy now.
"Seeing is believing."
"After watching it, I hope you still have the sa attitude."
Kale caught the Shadow Stone and activated it without a word; as the image played out to the end.
Kale’s expression was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten excrent.
He had been played.
Thinking back to his previous rash remarks, his old face crumpled.
Lin Suo said with amusent.
"Do you believe in your Princess now?"
"I..."
Kale turned to look at Catherine only to see that she had already turned her head away, not looking at him at all.
"This..."
Kale’s face reddened with embarrassnt, too ashad to stay any longer. He took Catherine and fled using Space Witchcraft.
Only then did Lin Suo relax.
The rules within the Golden Academy ant he wouldn’t die, but it would hurt!
A Nine Ring Wizard was already almost able to form a Magic Control Domain, extrely powerful, and he was not yet a match.
Sitting back on the sofa.
Lin Suo felt he could not just passively accept things anymore, he had to think of a way to fight back. At the very least, he had to get his title elevated to make it not so easy for Goodnight to sche against him.
And this was rely the internal trouble of the Language Departnt.
There were also quite a few issues to resolve among the students.
Putting his feet on the coffee table, Lin Suo was thinking of picking up a book to read, but as he turned his body, he knocked off a ring.
"Where did this co from?"
The ring was ice-blue with a square black gem set in gold, engraved with silver script.
"A Space Ring?"
Lin Suo was astonished for a mont, taking a glance inside.
Great, from now on Kale could be his long-lost relative, so wealthy indeed.
