Above the mage

Chapter 106 Hugging Thighs

"Having lost a city, does the duchy have no intention of holding anyone accountable?" Gao De couldn't help but ask another question.

In my past life, if a city suffered such a great loss due to natural disasters or man-made calamities, the local government would certainly be held accountable.

The entire city has now fallen, and the number of dead and wounded is unknown.

As the highest leader of the entire Bremen region, shouldn't the Lord of Bremen City be held accountable in any way?

"To be fair, he should bear some responsibility. After all, the signs of new ley lines have been appearing for so long, so there should be some responsibility for not paying attention." Maciej did not hesitate to reveal some secrets to God.

"However, our city lord has very strong connections."

"The wife of the current dean of the Seres Magic Academy is from the Haynes family, the family of our city lord," Maciej said, pointing upwards.

"Because of this relationship, Lord Haines has some privileges. For offenses like this that are either punishable or not, the higher-ups usually just pretend they didn't happen."

"Moreover, because of this connection, any member of the Haynes family with even a slightly outstanding talent as a mage can directly enter the Seres Magic Academy without having to go through that extremely rigorous examination."

At this point, Maciej's tone was full of envy.

It seems that this is the "privilege" he cares about most.

"Like this time, Mage Frey led a team to Bremen to provide support."

"And our Lord Haines has already smoothed things over in a short time."

"When Mage Frey returns, he will take Lord Haines' three children with him and send them to the Cyris Magic Academy to study."

Upon hearing the familiar "Ceres Magic Academy," Gao De instinctively sat up straight.

"Miss Gerica is out of the question. She's only sixteen this year, and she broke through to the level of a third-class mage apprentice three years ago."

"She has only been studying magic and expanding her spell library for the past few years in order to awaken a powerful specialization when she ascends to the next level, which is why she has remained a third-level mage apprentice."

"With Miss Gerica's talent, she would have a very high chance of passing the entrance exam for the Seres Magic Academy even if she were to take it seriously."

"But the other two, who are several years older than Miss Gerica, have only just reached the level of third-class mage apprentice this year."

"With the resources of the city lord's mansion, even a pig could be forced to become a third-class mage apprentice using potions. This kind of talent is a waste of resources to enter the Seres Magic Academy." Machey curled his lips and muttered to himself.

"You mean, Miss Gerica?" On the other side, God didn't pay attention to Maciej's mutterings; his eyes had already lit up.

He never expected that the beautiful young lady with melancholy eyes was actually a genius with outstanding magical talent.

Marchie didn't think that much about it. How could he have imagined that a wild mage like Gaode would have any dealings with the young lady of the city lord's mansion?

He assumed it was just Gao De's curiosity and casually introduced her, saying, "Miss Gerica is the most talented mage of this generation in the Haines family. It's a pity she's a woman, and her mother died young, otherwise she would very likely be the next city lord of Bremen."

"After her mother passed away, the city lord's many concubines began to fight each other, all wanting to become the principal wife."

"However, our city lord is quite something. He has always remained an observer, letting them use their own methods to fight openly and covertly, but he is still unsure about the new principal wife."

When the topic of gossip about the city lord's mansion came up, Maciej couldn't help but add another comment.

Sure enough, no one dislikes gossip.

Gao De listened with great interest, and his mind began to wander.

After a long chat that lasted about half an hour, Gao De wisely and firmly declined Maciej's invitation to dinner and left Maciej's house before the mealtime.

"Miss Gerica, Miss Gerica"

Walking down the street, Gao De repeated the name to himself, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

The following day, the 26th of the harvest month.

In the morning, Gaode arrived at the most central and magnificent building in the entire city of Bremen.

No. 1, Shenliu District, City Lord's Mansion.

As the "power center" of Bremen, the city lord's mansion was built to be majestic and imposing.

The towering exterior walls are made of white stone, each piece of which has been carefully selected and polished, with a cool and deep luster.

The gate of the city lord's mansion is made of heavy red oak, with exquisite copper nails and carvings inlaid on the surface, making it both sturdy and magnificent.

Above the door hangs a golden family crest with a bird spreading its wings.

You can still vaguely see that several towering towers still stand inside the city lord's mansion.

Every detail exudes the majesty of the city lord.

When Gao De stood before the intricately carved gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a sense of awe and dread arose spontaneously.

He took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. The pocket watch, worth 1 gold coin, accurately displayed the time; it was just past nine o'clock.

The mechanical hands on the pocket watch moved slowly, seemingly urging him on silently.

At the entrance of the city lord's mansion stood guards, dressed in gleaming armor, holding long spears, their postures upright, standing there like statues.

"What are you doing?"

Before Gaode could make any move, a guard on duty at the entrance had already noticed him.

Seeing him lingering at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, he strode forward as usual, his voice loud and clear, his tone exuding an unquestionable authority.

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

"I am Google Ditu, here to visit Miss Gerica. Please inform her."

The guard took the "business card," examined it carefully, and then his expression softened. "Please wait a moment, I'll inform the young lady for you right away."

After he finished speaking, he took the "business card" and turned to walk into the city lord's mansion.

The guards on duty moved with steady and swift steps, knowing full well that Miss Gerica's status in the city lord's mansion was extraordinary, and that as her guest, even if God was not particularly handsome, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

A short while later, the guards on duty, accompanied by a maid, came out of the city lord's mansion.

The maid was dressed in an exquisite lace dress, adorned with pearl hair ornaments, and possessed delicate features and elegant manners.

Judging by her appearance alone, she is not much different from some young ladies from wealthy families.

She first gave Gao De an elegant curtsy, then said softly, "Master Google, Miss Gerica is aware of your visit and is waiting for you. Please come with me."

Gao De first expressed his gratitude to the guards on duty, and then followed the maid into the gate of the city lord's mansion.

Passing through the heavy oak gate, and led by a maid, past exquisite stone fountains and flowerbeds, we finally arrived at a beautifully decorated reception room.

She gently pushed open the door, gesturing for Gaode to enter.

When Gao De stepped into the reception room, the maid did not close the door, but stood at the doorway to prevent outsiders from getting close.

The reception room was decorated in an elegant and luxurious style, with exquisite oil paintings and a prominent family crest on the walls, as well as many valuable items that should be called "antiques".

In the center of the reception room was a huge long table, on which were laid out delicate pastries and exquisite tea sets.

Miss Gerica was already seated at one side of the long table.

Today she wore a light blue long dress, as calm and profound as the ocean.

With a gentle smile on her face, she stood up slightly when Gao De entered, gesturing for him to sit down.

"Google Master, please have a seat." Gerica's voice was soft and pleasant, making people feel comfortable and happy.

Following her directions, Gaode sat down on the other side of the long table.

"What trouble has Google encountered today?" Miss Gerica asked softly as she poured Gaode a cup of black tea.

Miss Gerica was very direct. After all, when she gave Gaode her "business card," her exact words were, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future and really can't find anything, you can come to No. 1 Shenliu Street to find me. Maybe I can help you."
