The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Dekan: "After taking care of... no, defeating the bandits, the pilot also suffered unpredictable mental interference, leaving me no choice but to take over the piloting. In order to prevent any further complications from threatening Princess Alice's safety, I escorted Princess Alice to Tristine City as quickly as possible."

"Uh......"

The lord hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Legally, if such an air disaster occurs and the pilot loses the ability to control the magic airship...

If any passenger manages to safely pilot the magic airship, they will bear no responsibility and will even be rewarded.

but.

Arriving in Tristine City so far ahead of schedule, isn't that speeding a bit excessive...?

As a lord, one cannot turn a blind eye to such things.

Dekan must be arrested.

But how exactly should one phrase it?

Criticizing Dekan would seem inhumane.

After all, his reasons for speeding up were reasonable, and there was the irrefutable keyword "escorting Princess Alice".

Putting aside his character, with so many knights watching, a lord must be impartial and incorruptible.

After thinking for a moment, the lord coughed twice and said:

"We will severely criticize and fine you for speeding after our investigation. However, in view of your heroic actions and accurate judgment under duress, as your lord, I will commend you and express my sincere gratitude, and I will also request His Majesty the King's approval on your behalf."

Dekan nodded in satisfaction after listening.

The lord is a just man.

He speaks with precision and reason.

"Sigh, I'm so tired."

Dekan let out a long sigh, seemingly unintentionally.

They took down three robbers and drove a magic-powered airship all the way.

Dekan felt like he was carrying nineteen enemies in Anton Raid.

What happened to the trip we were promised?

The lord immediately understood what Dekan meant.

“Mr. Dekan, could you please come with us? We have many things we need to investigate with you.”

After subtly suggesting the arrest, the lord abruptly changed the subject.

"Of course, taking into account your security level, we will protect you in the lord's manor and provide you with the treatment you deserve."

After hearing the lord's words, Dekan once again showed a satisfied expression.

This was the first time he had ever heard someone say "You're under arrest" so smoothly.

Lord, the scope has been broadened.

106 Dekan prepares for his long-awaited personal interrogation.

Evening, Tristan City.

The Lord's Mansion.

Dekan sat calmly in the classically elegant drawing room of the lord's mansion.

However, something seemed to have caught his attention.

He closed the book in his hand.

He looked thoughtfully out the floor-to-ceiling windows several meters high, where the lights in the garden courtyard flickered.

Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves, the conspicuous light drew ever closer to the mansion.

It was a specially made carriage painted with gold powder, which looked a size larger than an ordinary carriage. The lanterns on the carriage had shells made of immortal ice crystals and wicks made of high-level magical beast crystals.

It seems that Lord Viscount Lampard has finally returned.

After Dekan was "arrested" at noon.

The lord himself hurriedly went to handle the aftermath and to receive Princess Alice.

Dekan, on the other hand, was invited to the lord's manor.

Subsequently, a group of officials under the lord's command conducted a series of friendly inquiries with Dekan.

These officials were all quite polite to Dekan.

It seems the lord gave special instructions.

Dekan had already roughly grasped what a steady and reliable person this lord was.

Even if it meant lowering his posture to the lowest possible level, even to the point of not acting like a nobleman, he still wanted to leave a good impression on Dekan, the future master card maker.

Of course, it could also be because a living master card maker resides in the viscount's territory.

Looking up at something for too long.

That's why I'm so clear about what a master card maker is.

But this is good, it seems that if there is anything that requires the lord's cooperation, it is easy to consult him.

After explaining everything that had happened on the magic airship to the people in charge, Dekan was put to wait in the reception room.

He is actually free now.

If he wanted to leave, the people in the lord's manor wouldn't stop him; they would even take him anywhere.

However, the steward of the lord's manor indicated to Dekan that the lord wished to entertain Dekan.

Just then, Dekan also had something he wanted to ask the lord for help with.

So I stayed here.

I waited in the reception room for about an hour or two.

The wait was a bit long, but Dekan didn't find it boring.

There are some interesting magic books in the lord's manor.

In addition, the environment here is quite nice and comfortable.

Whether you need snacks or a maid, they will come whenever you call.

to be frank.

Dekan was starting to not want to leave.

Isn't this more comfortable than living in the temporary accommodation provided by Tristine College?

It's great!

This prestigious experience made Dekan feel like the lord of Tristine City.

If he could provide a review on Dianping (a Chinese review platform), he would definitely give the lord's manor a perfect score.

At this time of day, most of the servants in the lord's manor are busy in the kitchen and dining room.

Several servants, seeing their lord return, stopped what they were doing and rushed to greet him.

"She was busy until so late to get back. Hmm... that makes sense. Alice finally couldn't overcome seasickness, vomited up rainbows, and then cried her eyes out."

"To appease the wailing Alice, the lord must be completely overwhelmed."

"Well, it's all the fault of the Church of Resurrection, it has nothing to do with me."

Dekan shook his head and sighed.

Just as Dekan was condemning the Church of Resurrection in his heart, the servant outside pushed open the mansion door first.

The attendant quickly walked to Dekan's side and bowed to him:

“Mr. Dekan, the lord would like to invite you to dinner. You may wait here or come with me to the banquet hall first.”

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Dekan nodded and stood up.

They followed the servants to the dining area.

It is clear that the lord had already instructed his servants to prepare the banquet hall in advance.

Dinner seemed to be all prepared, just waiting for the lord to take his place, after which the servants would serve it to him one by one.

When the servants pushed open the door and the lord walked in.

Both Dekan and the lord wore smiles, as if they were old friends who had been separated for a long time.

The lord no longer maintained the same avoidance attitude towards Dekan that he had shown at the magic airship landing pad.

Instead, it became an undisguised expression of acquaintance.

Dekan bowed gracefully:

"Thank you for your kind hospitality and hospitality, Lord."

The lord coughed lightly and quickly waved his hand:

"Once you complete your top-tier card maker certification, it's not certain who'll be calling whom 'sir.' It's better if we just call each other by our first names."

Now you call me "sir," and from now on I'll call you "sir." This change in address is quite awkward.

"...Are all nobles so respectful of top-grade card makers? Even though I'm not quite a top-grade one yet."

Dekan asked, somewhat puzzled.

In his memory, there were indeed noblemen who dared to provoke him.

For example, there was Frata, who made a bet with Dekan to duel and was then beaten so badly by Dekan that he was completely disoriented.

That really shows no regard for Dekan's status as a near-master card maker.

The lord gestured for Dekan to sit down first, and said with a helpless smile:

"This is a matter of opinion."
