Chapter 106: Hugging the Thigh

"For the loss of a city, does the Duchy have no intention of accountability at all?" Gao De couldn't help but ask one more question.

In his previous life, if a city encountered a natural or man-made disaster and caused such a large loss, it would inevitably be held accountable to the local government.

Now an entire city has fallen, and the casualties are unknown.

As the highest leader of the entire Bremen area, does the Bremen City Lord not have to bear any punishment at all?

"To be reasonable, there must be some accountability, after all, signs of the birth of the ley line have appeared for so long, so there must be some negligence... Ma Qieyi didn't mind revealing some secrets to Gao De.

"But, our City Lord has a very hard relationship."

"The wife of the current Dean of the Sairisi Magic User Academy is from the City Lord's family, the Haines family." Ma Qieyi pointed upward.

"Relying on this relationship, City Lord Haines has some privileges, and for such mistakes that can be pursued or not, the above usually pretends it didn't happen."

"And with this relationship, the direct bloodline of the Haines family, as long as the magic user talent is outstanding, can directly enter the Sairisi Magic User Academy to study without going through that extremely strict assessment."

Speaking of this, Ma Qieyi's tone was full of envy.

It seemed that this was the "privilege" he cared about most.

"Just like this time, Magic User Fulei led the team to Bremen to support."

"And our City Lord Haines has already arranged the relationship in a short time."

"When Magic User Fulei goes back, he will take the three children of City Lord Haines and send them to the Sairisi Magic User Academy to study."

Hearing the familiar "Sairisi Magic User Academy," Gao De sat up straight subconsciously.

"Miss Jielika is fine, she is only sixteen this year, and she broke through to the third-class magic apprentice realm three years ago."

"She just wanted to awaken a powerful specialty when raising a circle, so she spent these years focusing on learning spells and expanding her spell library, so she has been staying at the third-class magic apprentice level."

"With Miss Jielika's talent, even if she formally participates in the Sairisi Magic User Academy's assessment, there is a high probability of passing."

"But the other two, who are several years older than Miss Jielika, are actually only third-class magic apprentices this year..."

"With the resources of the City Lord's Mansion, even a pig could be forcibly piled up to a third-class magic apprentice... this kind of talent entering the Sairisi Magic User Academy is a waste of resources." Ma Qieyi curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.

"You mean, Miss Jielika?" On the other side, Gao De didn't care about Ma Qieyi's muttering, his eyes had already lit up.

He never thought that the beautiful young lady with melancholy in her eyes was actually a genius with outstanding magic user talent.

Ma Qieyi didn't think so much, how could he think that Gao De, a wild magic user, would have an intersection with the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion? He just introduced it casually because Gao De was curious: "Miss Jielika is the most outstanding magic user talent of the Haines family in this generation. It's a pity that she is a woman, and her mother passed away early... otherwise, our next City Lord of Bremen City would most likely be her."

"After her mother passed away, many concubines of the City Lord began to fight, all wanting to sit in the position of the main wife."

"However, our City Lord is also wonderful, always watching from the sidelines, letting them use their own means to fight openly and secretly, just not determining the new main wife candidate."

Mentioning the gossip of the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Qieyi couldn't help but say one more thing.

Sure enough, no one doesn't like gossip.

Gao De listened with great interest, and there were many more thoughts in his heart.

After a pleasant conversation that lasted about half an hour, Gao De very tactfully and firmly declined Ma Qieyi's invitation to dinner together and left Ma Qieyi's house before dinner time.

"Miss Jielika, Miss Jielika..."

Walking on the street, Gao De repeated this name, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

The next day, 26th of the Harvest Month.

In the morning, Gao De came to the most central and even most magnificent building in the entire Bremen City.

1 Shenliu District, City Lord's Mansion.

As the "power center" of Bremen, the City Lord's Mansion was built majestically.

The towering outer wall was built of white stone, each piece of white stone was carefully selected and polished, and the surface glowed with cold and deep luster. The main gate of the City Lord's Mansion was made of heavy red oak, with exquisite copper nails and carvings inlaid on the surface, sturdy and gorgeous.

Above the lintel hung the family crest with the pattern of a "bird about to fly with wings spread" in gold.

Faintly, one could also see several towering towers standing inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Every detail showed the majesty of the City Lord.

When Gao De stood still in front of the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion, which was carved with complex patterns, a feeling of awe arose spontaneously.

He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The pocket watch worth 1 gold accurately displayed the time, just past nine fifteen.

The mechanical hands on the pocket watch were moving slowly, as if silently urging him to do something.

There were guards on duty at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, wearing shiny armor, holding spears, standing tall, standing there like sculptures.

"You, what are you doing?"

Before Gao De had any movements, a guard on duty at the gate had already noticed him.

Seeing him stop in front of the City Lord's Mansion, he strode forward, his voice loud, and his tone revealed unquestionable majesty.

Gao De smiled slightly, took out the "business card" given by Jielika from his arms, and handed it to the guard.

"I am Google Ditu, here to visit Miss Jielika, please help me report it."

The guard on duty took the "business card," looked at it carefully, and his face softened, "Please wait a moment, I will report it for you, Miss."

After saying that, he took the "business card" and turned to walk into the City Lord's Mansion.

The guard on duty walked steadily and quickly, knowing that Miss Jielika's status in the City Lord's Mansion was extraordinary, and as her guest, even if he looked ordinary, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent.

After a while, the guard on duty brought a maid out of the City Lord's Mansion.

This maid wore an exquisite lace dress, a pearl hair accessory on her head, her face was clear, and her behavior was even more elegant.

Just looking at the appearance, it was no different from the young ladies of some wealthy families.

She first performed an elegant curtsy to Gao De, and then said softly: "Master Google, Miss Jielika has already learned of your visit and is waiting for you, please follow me."

Gao De first expressed his gratitude to the guard on duty, and then followed the maid into the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Passing through the heavy oak gate, under the guidance of the maid, bypassing exquisite stone fountains and flower beds, he finally arrived in front of a reception hall with exquisite decorations.

She gently pushed open the door and signaled Gao De to enter.

When Gao De stepped into the reception hall, the maid did not close the door, but stood at the door to avoid outsiders approaching.

The reception hall was decorated elegantly and luxuriously, with exquisite oil paintings and conspicuous family crests hanging on the walls, and many precious objects that should be called "antiques" were displayed.

In the center of the reception hall was a huge long table, on which exquisite snacks and exquisite tea sets were placed.

Miss Jielika was already sitting on one side of the long table.

Today she was wearing a light blue dress, as calm and connotative as the ocean.

She had a gentle smile on her face, and seeing Gao De come in, she stood up gently and signaled Gao De to sit down.

"Master Google, please sit." Miss Jielika's voice was soft and pleasant, making people feel comfortable and happy.

Gao De sat down on the other side of the long table under her guidance.

"Master Google visiting today, did you encounter any trouble?" While pouring a cup of black tea for Gao De, Miss Jielika asked softly.

Miss Jielika was very direct; after all, when she gave Gao De the "business card," her original words were "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, and you really have no other way... you can come to 1 Shenliu Street to find me, perhaps I can help you."
