Chapter 172
Even in the daytime, the atmosphere in Moti City is still very lively.
No one knows how much money the Duke of Booker's family spent on this matter, and most people don't care about the trivial matters between nobles.
——Someone wants to openly snatch the princess from the new marquis? Great! Fight!
No matter who wins or loses in the end, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. But since someone paid for everyone to celebrate the festival, everyone will not be polite.
"It seems that the main venue is over there, huh."
Because there were people dressed up everywhere to promote, Aarons and the other two did not get any attention at all - even the beautiful sage in knight's dress did not attract much attention.
"Marquis, what are you celebrating here?"
"Don't you know? A guy is coming here to snatch my fiancée in a few days."
"What... How could there be such a thing..."
Because it was the first time she heard of such an outrageous thing, the beautiful female mercenary couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
Aarons didn't show much emotion. He just looked at the huge stage being built in the central square from a distance, and then expressed his thoughts calmly.
"They said that this is the correct rule and order. In order to maintain justice, someone must make sacrifices. I disagree with their point of view, so they plan to humiliate me in public and even hire someone to kill me."
"How can this be called justice! I..."
"This world is like this. If you want to protect your own interests, you will inevitably hurt others... Aren't you here to kill me for money?"
Because she found that Aarons seemed to have other purposes in saying these words, Jiang Yue chose to remain silent.
Mo Qianyun bit his lips with some regret, and had no idea what he should say.
"However, their ideas are indeed correct in some aspects. My fiancée and I did break the rules that have been in place for more than a hundred years in this country, so we cannot be said to be innocent victims."
"But, then there is no wrong party..."
"Of course, there is no right answer to many things in the world. Everyone has different positions, so they will naturally choose the side that is more beneficial to themselves."
Looking at the citizens who were celebrating, Aarons finally just smiled helplessly.
"So I am not a noble person, I am just doing what I think is right. As for how others evaluate... that is their business."
After all, I didn't have any good reputation in the past, so Aarons would look at these things so open-mindedly.
But his ideas are likely to have an impact on the people around him.
...
"Teacher Jiangyue, do you think we can do something with the psychic pipeline?"
Looking at the workers who were building the stage carrying magic equipment, Aarons suddenly thought of a crooked idea.
He had originally intended to turn the ceremony in a few days into a farce, so if he could make some arrangements on the other side's stage, it might play a key role.
"Marquis, you know that psychic energy needs a special magic array to be converted into magic power?"
"Isn't that your invention, Teacher Jiangyue? Of course I know that."
"Because the volume of that array is very large, most of it can only be buried underground. And spiritual power itself is harmful to humans, so the location of the pipeline will be deeper."
Aarons immediately understood what Jiangyue meant - instead of staring at the pipelines that transport psychic energy, it is better to do something directly on the conversion array.
And he also realized that he seemed to have made a common sense mistake before.
"Oh, I always thought that the psychic pipeline was directly connected to the home, but it turns out that there is a conversion step."
This is similar to treating the high-voltage wires on the poles in the previous life as the wires used for home use, ignoring the key existence of the substation.
"After all, it was designed by me, so it's easy to adjust."
"Well, I have some questions... Didn't the psychic conversion array appear hundreds of years ago? How could it be designed by you?"
"Little girl, I'm over 500 years old this year."
--After knowing such a shocking fact, the female mercenary was stunned again because of shock.
"Are you the... magic sage?"
"Well, it seems that there was such a title in the past. But since I fell out with the Magician Guild, I don't care about the name anymore."
After hearing Jiang Yue's self-introduction, Mo Qianyun's expression suddenly became solemn.
After a short silence, she said something that made AaronAarons was also very surprised by the fact.
"The master who adopted me seems to have been taught by you... The skills I learned were also completed by my master's ancestors under your inspiration."
"... Fate is really wonderful."
Aarons thought that the magic sword skills used by this girl were original, but he didn't expect that Jiangyue was actually her master.
Perhaps there is indeed some kind of fate in the dark - Aarons likes this mysterious feeling very much.
"So that's the case. Marquis, I plan to let Miss Qianyun learn something from me, do you have any objection?"
"No, isn't this good."
Of course, Aarons would have no objection to such a thing.
Although Mo Qianyun cannot be regarded as a true friend at present, Aarons does not want to block her opportunity.
- And being able to meet the master of the sect by such a coincidence, this girl's luck is probably much better than he thought.
"Really...really?"
"Of course, I won't lie about anything related to magic."
"...I'm Mo Qianyun, meeting the master!"
If Aarons hadn't stopped her in time, this tall and beautiful woman would have almost kowtowed to the sage in the street.
Outsiders could see at a glance how excited she was now.
"In that case, Miss Qianyun, please do me a favor first. Marquis, let's adjust the array now."
Under the leadership of Jiangyue, Aarons and the excited female mercenary came to the side of the stage together.
Because there were equipment for construction everywhere near the stage, no one passed by this position. And this was the best thing for Aarons who was planning to make some moves.
"This is it, this is the entrance and exit for maintaining the array."
After turning around a little, the three finally stopped in front of a vertical shaft that looked like a sewer - although there was nothing written on the manhole cover used for blocking, Aarons felt a sense of suffocation standing next to it.
The concentration of magic power down here must be very high.
"But we don't need to go down - Miss Qianyun, it's up to you next."
