Chapter 838: Not Knowing Whether It's Good or Bad

"What are you doing at my house."

When he saw that man, who was hailed alongside him as one of the [Imperial Twin Moons], sitting in front of his gate carrying a bottle of alcohol in hand, Nikolai felt a burst of anger rising up.

Am I really mentioned in the same breath as this kind of guy?

Although he was very angry.

But Nikolai also knew.

This guy had received wind of the news, which was why he had come.

Tsk.

This point was no different from that black-robed girl.

Tossing what she hated and wasn't good at to the white-robed girl to do.

"Don't mention it, I was having a dinner gathering with my colleagues from the academy last night, and when I woke up, I found myself sitting here."

Albert smiled, and conveniently raised the brown alcohol bottle in his hand and shook it twice towards Nikolai.

"Hey! How drunk would you have to be from last night's dinner gathering to stay drunk until the afternoon of the next day? Why don't you perform another one for me?"

When a person is angry, they really will laugh.

Nikolai absolutely did not expect the other party to actually use this kind of clumsy lie to deceive him.

No... this was no longer deception.

It was completely playing a joke on him!

"Hahahaha, dear friend, don't say that..."

Seeing his little lie being ruthlessly exposed, Albert didn't get angry either.

He smiled and stood up, patting the dust off his butt.

And then threw an arm around Nikolai's neck.

And whispered in his ear.

"Tell me about the matters inside the carriage; I want to hear about that now."

Nikolai shot him a sideways glance.

Subsequently, he reached out and batted Albert's hand away, and then walked through the iron gate that the guards pushed open, entering into his own Manor.

"Don't be so cold, Romé, tell me, tell me."

The one following Nikolai inside was, of course, Albert.

Because there was no order from Nikolai, the guards also didn't stop him.

Rather, even if they wanted to stop him, they estimated they couldn't do it.

In reality, although the identities of Lan Qingyou and Elisa were currently still considered a secret.

But this kind of secret was relative.

At least to someone of Albert's level, there was simply no point in keeping it a secret.

So it wasn't that Nikolai couldn't say.

But that he was simply a bit angry.

Angry that this guy was just like that black-robed Miss Lan Qingyou, dumping everything onto them.

Sure enough, the Materialism School was a bunch of evil guys.

"You'll know this kind of thing tomorrow when you go to the palace."

"The palace? Me? Stop joking, what would I go to that kind of place for. It's enough that you go; I still have classes to teach."

Upon mentioning this kind of thing, Albert immediately waved his hand and refused.

Originally, Nikolai was just angry and said this casually.

But upon seeing Albert so eager and shameless, a plan formed in his heart.

"If you go tomorrow, I'll tell you now. If you don't go tomorrow, I'll also tell you now."

"Hmm? Is there any difference?"

Two scenarios, the result is the same?

This obviously didn't fit Nikolai's personality.

Or rather, anyone with a slightly normal brain would know there must be a trick involved.

Then Albert naturally was no exception.

"Very simple. If you don't go tomorrow, then I will tell you some news that will keep you from sleeping."

Nikolai smiled sinisterly at Albert.

Making Albert's back feel a chill.

"No, when did you guy become so sinister?"

Tell me news that will keep me from sleeping tonight?

Isn't that just speaking half a sentence?

I, Albert, hate people who only speak half a sentence the most in my life.

"Then... you speak."

Looking behind him, that iron gate had already closed, and the guards were even standing at the doorway.

Making it clear that they wouldn't let him leave without an order.

That is to say, if he didn't agree today.

Then he definitely would only be able to leave after hearing half the words.

So he could only nod and agree.

After all, compared to fighting the guards, he felt it was more worthwhile to yield here.

This guy... usually looking like a rigid stickler for the rules, how did he become so astute today?

Little did he know that this was entirely just a concentrated explosion of resentment built up over many years.

Taking advantage of this excuse to mess with him.

And Nikolai, having achieved his goal of forcing this guy Albert up to the Imperial Palace, was also extremely satisfied.

Thus, he opened his mouth and explained the situation to Albert a bit.

"There were two people in the carriage."

"Two people?"

"Yes, two girls about twenty-something years old."

Nikolai nodded.

"They both study alchemy, and both have pretty good skills and magical methods."

"Hoho, that sounds very interesting."

Hearing that they studied alchemy, Albert naturally became interested as well.

"Speaking of which, these two are also very interesting."

"One studies the theories of the Materialism School, while the other studies the theories of the Mana Alchemy School."

"One knows Mechanical Thaumaturgy, and one knows Biological Thaumaturgy."

"One rides a magic broom, and the other rides a Flying Magic Carpet."

"One seems enthusiastic, but her mana is like deep-sea ice, incomparably cold. It's as if just getting slightly close could freeze a person to death."

"One seems cold, but her mana is like hellfire, passionate and unrestrained. It's as if just getting slightly close could burn a person."

"The two seem to be very good friends, but in reality, they are secretly opposing each other."

"Even their attire is one in black and one in white."

"To be honest, even if they told me now that their titles were antagonistic, I wouldn't have any doubts."

Seeing the other party become interested, Nikolai also gained enthusiasm in his explanation.

He used several parallel sentences in a row.

These words, upon reaching Albert's ears, felt somewhat strange.

"I feel like their relationship is very similar to ours..."

Albert frowned slightly.

After all, although he and Nikolai were 'dear friends', they were also 'enemies'.

And the description of these two girls was simply exactly the same as them.

Especially academically.

But just as he thought of this, he suddenly realized a much more serious problem.

"Wait, you said they both have titles!!?"

That's right.

Hearing until the end, he actually heard the word 'titles'.

That is to say, both little guys were Title Holders.

This was somewhat horrifying.

"Surprising, right? I was also very surprised when I first heard it. The meteor shower from the day before yesterday was the magic of the black-robed girl from the Materialism School."

"Magic? Tsk tsk, using a meteor shower as magic, this child is truly surprising."

Albert replied faintly.

Although the meteor shower being magic itself was indeed very shocking.

It even broke some current definitions of magic.

But for him, it still wasn't as shocking as the 'titles' mentioned earlier.

Two people suddenly appearing, and both having titles.

For the current Empire, he didn't know whether this kind of thing was good or bad...
