Chapter 189 Why are you so happy today?
"Hey! What do you want, Master Daniel?"
Here comes the job! Lucas immediately changed his expression and showed his white teeth.
"the day after tomorrow--"
"Not the day after tomorrow!" Lucas said regretfully, "I applied to be a waiter at the dance, so I may not have time."
Every year a group of students would be recruited to help at the dance. The student union was very generous and offered a generous daily wage, so Lucas naturally responded positively.
"I know." Daniel was not surprised. "That does not conflict with my commission."
He raised his hand and threw the warm object in his hand over, creating a shining light in the air.
Lucas caught it easily, raised his hand and saw that it was a small glass bottle, only half the size of his palm. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Daniel.
"Let Lilith drink it before the dance starts." Daniel's tone was calm as if he was discussing today's weather with Lucas.
Lucas' eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Daniel deeply, sneered, "How long are you two going to make trouble?"
He held up the bottle to the sunlight and observed it. The light brown transparent liquid was swaying in the bottle, looking crystal clear.
"What is this?"
"Do you have so many questions for other employers?" Daniel's impatient voice sounded.
Lucas didn't say anything. The tiny glass tube kept flipping in his nimble fingertips, which made Daniel tremble with fear.
"Be careful!" Daniel's eyelids twitched. He wouldn't be able to get a second copy of this thing in a short time!
Lucas's look became more playful.
"It was just a little... prank. I don't want to see her steal the show at the ball." Daniel spoke again when he saw Lucas trying to open the seal.
"She beat me up like this, so it's reasonable for me to retaliate, right? Isn't it the same for you? Isn't it because of her that you're working so hard every day?"
"That sounds reasonable, but I'm sorry Daniel." Lucas's lazy voice sounded.
"I don't want to get involved in the little games between you noble young masters and young ladies—"
"Two hundred gold coins." Daniel said in a deep voice.
Lucas suddenly shut his mouth and looked over in shock, unable to believe his ears. How much? ? How much did he say? ! !
"How many years will it take you to earn two hundred gold coins, Lucas?" Daniel slowed down his voice, stared at Lucas, and whispered like a charm.
"You never attend our parties. Time and money are too precious, aren't they? With this money, you can relax and spend your weekends happily strolling around the city like other classmates..."
Lucas lowered his head and looked fixedly at the small glass bottle in his hand. A few strands of blue hair hung down, and his eyes flickered with the breeze.
"This may be the only chance in your life, Lucas. Not everyone is as generous as me." Seeing that Lucas still refused to speak, Daniel felt anxious and spoke in a heavier tone.
"It's a job worth two hundred gold coins. If you don't want to do it, I'm sure there will be others who are willing to do it—"
"make a deal."
The blue-haired boy clenched the bottle, seemed to have finally made up his mind, raised his head and grinned.
"Thank you for your patronage." He carefully put the glass bottle into his upper pocket and sighed. "What an expensive prank. Well, see you this weekend!"
As he passed Daniel, he patted him on the shoulder and walked away quickly.
Daniel looked at Lucas's receding back with an unclear expression.
Two hundred gold coins for a prank is of course expensive, but if you buy something else, it's a good deal. He thought of Lilith's miserable future and laughed out loud like a nervous person. Then the laughter got louder and louder, and he couldn't stand steadily and leaned against the wall.
Behind the high wall, where Daniel couldn't see, there was a person leaning against the wall and smiling silently. He didn't know how long he had been listening there.
After Daniel finally calmed down and left, the person behind the wall finally moved. He walked around the tall white wall, passed through the long wisteria corridor, and finally arrived at the training ground for the second-year guardians.
"Lilith." The visitor saw the person he was looking for and trotted over.
Lilith had just finished her training and was sitting on the ground drinking water and resting. She turned around and frowned when she heard this.
"Neller, if you really have nothing to do, just pull out all the grass in the playground."
Nerel's skin shone with a chocolate luster under the hot June sun, looking primitive and dangerous. He was not annoyed at all when he heard Lilith's words. Instead, he walked over with a smile and squatted in front of Lilith, looking at her seriously.
"I still have some skills that I haven't had the chance to use yet, Lilith, don't you want to learn?"
As soon as these words came out, Lilith was hooked and couldn't sit still. She hesitated for a while, and finally stood up honestly, muttering, "I really don't know how long you can hold on..."
"Maybe I should hold on until you agree to my invitation to the dance?" Neller followed Lilith, tilted his head to look at her face, his cat-like round eyes flickering.
"Hmph, then you can give up now." Lilith pouted. "I'm only interested in beating you up."
Then she turned her head and glared at him, saying in a warning tone, "I believe Catherine feels the same way!"
This kind of neurotic and manipulative guy has no chance of getting close to our little Catherine!
Neller looked at the girl's bright face and proud tone and seemed to find it very interesting, laughing to himself.
"...Why are you so happy today?" Lilith's disgust turned into confusion when she saw his reaction.
"Because I heard something very interesting." Neller smiled even more. Seeing Lilith took out her weapon, he also pulled out his own knife.
"I really hope the dance day can come soon..." He was not in a hurry to attack, but stroked the blade with emotion.
Lilith was too lazy to watch him dithering here, so she raised her sword and stabbed him - she couldn't let this bad habit of chanting before the battle get in the way!
"sulfuric acid!"
The swords clashed, and in just a few breaths, the two men had already used their sharp blades to test each other several times.
"What a nimble move." Neller took a few steps back with his knife in hand and looked at Lilith deeply, as if he wanted to remember her energetic look. He was so excited that his pupils were trembling.
"I'm so looking forward to your performance at the ball, Lilith."
