Reject me, you damn woman.

If such a mediocre person were to make fun of himself in front of her, Holly would not bother to say a word to him. After all, her life was filled with such people. If she had to comfort every one of them, even the lifespan of a high elf would pale in comparison.

But after all, she was the one who wronged Lynn first. With just the right amount of guilt, Holly actually took the initiative to comfort him, saying, "Don't belittle yourself, Lynn Norton. You have your own value."

"Thank you, Master Holly."

Lin En nodded slightly, suppressed her "disappointment" and forced a smile again. Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something:

"By the way, Master Orlando, although I cannot, you still want to accept a disciple from the academy, right? Then can I recommend a friend of mine to you?"

"A friend of yours?"

Holly asked back suspiciously.

"Yes, it's Elena from my group."

Lynn nodded seriously.

"Although her background is very ordinary, she is the most talented artifact maker I have ever seen. I think that if there is no accident in the artifact maker exam, she should be the real top spot."

His words were both deliberate and sincere.

There is no doubt that Elena has a talent for making magic items. In the original work, she was almost a self-taught person, but in the end, she relied on her hard work and the halo of the protagonist to become a magic item master who was no less than Holly. If she really had the assistance of a famous teacher, Elena's achievements would be limitless.

It's just that in the original work, the author, in order to slow down Elena's upgrade speed, simply had her slap the faces of a few nobles who were instructed by others and deliberately made trouble, and then she voluntarily withdrew from the election for Holly's disciple.

Well, by the way, the mastermind behind this is none other than His Highness Lin En in the original work…

But now, Lynn has become the one who has to persuade Holly to accept Elena as her apprentice. It can be said that there is karma.

Lin En could actually go that route and backstab Elena, but he immediately rejected this approach that would hinder others instead of improving himself.

Not to mention that the two of them already have a "transactional" relationship, Elena's favorability towards him will not increase too much, and may even decrease.

After all, the ability of the system is that the stronger the heroine who rejects it, the more rewards it will get. From a long-term perspective, Elena's rapid improvement in strength is also a greater positive benefit for itself as it is eager to become stronger.

Lin En thought it would take some effort to convince Holly, but unexpectedly, the latter nodded without hesitation:

"Okay, I'll consider what you said."

This answer was somewhat beyond Lynn's expectations, but Holly didn't explain much.

In fact, Lin En's words hit the mark exactly. After all, she had noticed Elena's extraordinary talent from the beginning of the class. However, for the arrogant Holly, attracting her attention would not cause her to break the rules she had set and force Elena to be her disciple.

If it’s missed, it’s missed. Holly won’t care too much about it.

Lin En's request just gave her a way out. Not only could she accept a female disciple who was obviously talented, but it could also be regarded as some compensation to Lin En. At least that was what Holly thought.

Of course, Holly still has some other little secrets deep in her heart.

When Holly activated the magic eye to stare at Lynn, she also activated the magical object she carried with her to protect her mind and soul. Both of them appeared to be intact and did not seem to have been attacked at all.

This shows that the reason why he has no aversion to Lin En and even has a little affection for him is not due to the influence of some strange object or arcane magic.

Then there are only two possibilities that can do this. The first is that there is a higher-level existence, close to the rule level, that influenced the two people, but this is obviously impossible.

Then the only possible answer is the second one. Does he really have a crush on the Empress's youngest son, the young prince who is hundreds of years younger than him?

This was a complete shock to Holly.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little selfish:

If I accept his companion as my disciple...will I have more opportunities to meet him in the future?

Of course, Lynn didn't know what was going on in Holly's mind, so when the deal with Elena was reached, he was relieved.

At the same time, I sighed slightly in my heart.

It’s indeed more troublesome than I imagined.

Holly Orlando, the original book doesn’t focus much on the beautiful and mysterious high elf in front of him, but Lin En actually attaches great importance to her.

The opponent's combat power is not strong, at least compared with the Queen Mother who has achieved sanctification in the flesh and Dean Solgana who can play with the arcane of space, it is still far behind.

However, in a sense, Holly possesses a value above those two people - that is, the ability to turn fantasy into reality.

As one of the top artifact makers in the Purple Gold Flower Empire and even in the entire continent, before Elena grows up, if Lin En wants to use his artifact-making ability to make something, Holly is undoubtedly the best candidate.

But the prerequisite is that he has to win the other party's favor. Otherwise, with Holly's temper, even if Lin En became the Emperor of Purple Gold Flower and used the treasures of the national treasury to exchange for it, Holly would still be dismissive.

Therefore, Lynn also did some research on how to build a good relationship with Holly.

Holly's identity and title, if viewed superficially, are enough to scare people to death.

A high elf stranded in the human world, one of the top magicians on the continent, a miracle worker of the purple gold flower, an arcane master whose strength is not top-notch but still quite good.

In order to pursue the ultimate in the profession of a treasure hunter, Holly even left the eternal wonderland of the elves and came to the human-occupied area to study and practice despite her natural aversion to the opposite sex.

He spends most of his time in seclusion in his own secret realm, conducting research in seclusion. Only occasionally do his works flow into the world and are highly praised, symbolizing the master's power.

Only a very few pure people could gain her friendship, and one of them happened to be Dean Soljana.

However, her glorious and pious history was exactly the flaw that Lin En had finally found.

This piece of history sounds grand and impressive, but the more Lin En read it, the more familiar it seemed.

Dislike for the opposite sex, not good at socializing, staying at home and not good at communicating with others........

Looking at it from another angle, Lin En suddenly realized that this so-called miracle, beneath the glamorous appearance, is just a... stay-at-home girl?

Of course, considering that she has already achieved financial independence, she is an extremely wealthy...rich stay-at-home girl!

Being a homebody doesn't mean you are socially anxious, but it definitely means you are not good at communication.

Therefore, when communicating with Holly, Lynn did not choose to be aggressive as usual. Instead, he often gave the initiative to the other party, showed an attitude of weakness, and with the help of the title, he pulled at the other party's emotions.

It turned out that his plan was effective.

This Master Holly even had the experience of breaking three legs of a visiting male noble due to a few words. Being able to talk with her for such a long time and even negotiate terms was already an outstanding performance.

However, it was still much slower than expected.

In the original novel, Master Holly disappeared from the book for some unknown reason after a certain point and never appeared again. This kind of behavior of the author leaving a hole without filling it in the disappearance of a supporting character is not uncommon in novels, but it's a pity for Lynn.

He now had to communicate with the other party with the mentality that Master Holly might disappear at any time for some reason, so he was racing against time.

His plan was to use this rare conversation opportunity to make the other party like him as much as possible, but now the situation is still far worse than expected.

Fortunately, Lynn has Plan B.

If it's just a simple emotional tug, then you have to use the second trick: cater to the other person's preferences.

"Teacher Holly,"

Lynn suddenly called out softly, attracting Holly's attention.

"Although I don't have much talent for making strange objects, I really like designing them. My sister also said that I have talent in this area. I wonder if you would be willing to give me some pointers?"

After hearing what Lin En said, Holly agreed but didn't take it seriously.

Although designing strange objects sounds simple, it is actually much more difficult than making them.

If production is from imagination to reality, then design is from nothing to something.

No matter how powerful an item is, it still has to start with a design, but the designer must also have a lot of production experience as a foundation.

Holly didn't think that Lin En, who couldn't even make a product, had any talent for design, but out of her affection for the boy, she nodded and said, "Okay, let me see it."

Lynn nodded and took out a few blueprints from his storage ring and handed them over.

Holly frowned slightly, and instead of reaching out to take it, she moved her fingers, and the drawing naturally flew into her palm.

He didn't look at it very carefully at first glance, and then the gaze in those purple eyes with a hint of perfunctory look gradually became focused, then became solemn, and finally immersed in it.

After a while, Holly looked up from the drawing and asked with a strange look in her eyes:

"Who is your sister...?"

Lin En smiled, knowing that it was already half done:

“Your Highness Nora Wei’er, if it’s as expected, Your Excellency has already met her.”

Holly nodded, spread out the drawings on the table, and said with a strange expression:

"I never thought that the brother that the little princess admired so much was actually you. It's really a small world."

"I guess that the only one who has the ability to turn those random designs into reality is you, Ms. Holly."

Lynn laughed.

That’s right, what Lin En handed to Holly was the set of strange items he designed for Novi, including the invisible holy sword, battle skirt, ebony and white ivory double guns and a series of other props.

Of course, Holly would not forget these drawings that impressed her so deeply. At the same time, the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin En changed from being perfunctory at the beginning to one of seriousness.

"Since you have already guessed that the Princess's treasures were made by me, you wouldn't just show me these things that you already have."

Lin En nodded and took out a new blueprint from the ring: “As expected of you, Master Holly, what I really want to show you is this blueprint, because the inspiration came from a friend of mine, so I named it after that friend.

Holly seemed not to hear Lynn's little foreshadowing.

The moment Lin En took out the blueprint, her eyes, all her vision, and even all her other senses were no longer on Lin En, but on the small blueprint in his hand.

Perhaps it was the mutual appreciation between the two worlds' master creators. The moment she saw the blueprint, her eyes were attracted by the strange and shocking steel on the blueprint, and were firmly captured by the six-pack, powerful and design-rich copper tube design.

It was a horrific creation from another world, created by an outstanding designer, which once ended an era and started a new one.

When handing over the blueprint, Lin En's expression was serious and cautious, as if he had released a ferocious beast.

He retained the design’s original name;

"I call it Maxim."

Holly almost subconsciously reached out impatiently to take the blueprint from Lynn's outstretched hand.

And it was at this moment that the tips of their fingers touched each other.

At this moment, the shock and obsession in Holly's eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Do not touch me!"

Holly suddenly felt like she got an electric shock and shook off Lynn's hand.

Seeing Holly suddenly trembling slightly and her face flushed, Lin En was also stunned.

It seems like there is an unexpected gain?

Chapter 102: Lin En understands py (4.3k)

Inside the office, the originally happy atmosphere suddenly became weird, and precious drawings and manuscripts were scattered all over the floor.

I just submitted a manuscript, why is there such an exaggerated reaction?

This was not something Lynn did on purpose, but the moment their fingertips touched each other, Holly's reaction was obviously abnormal.

If it were normal times, Lynn might have thought it was because of Holly's aversion to the opposite sex, and that it was a natural reaction to her body accidentally touching her body, but now...

Lynn looked at Holly, whose face was slightly flushed, her eyes were somewhat charming under her drooping long eyelashes, and even her cheeks had a blush like the sunset in the sky.

This doesn't look like something disgusting.

Can my system title be so awesome that it can get higher just by touching it?

This is to increase favorability, not to turn into a humanoid succubus!

At this moment, Lynn noticed something more detailed. Holly was wearing a black dress that perfectly matched her mature temperament. The ink-black dress completely wrapped her mature and graceful body, while outlining her perfect body curves. The only part exposed was the part above her fair neck.

Lynn had noticed a long time ago that there was a black mark similar to a rune stroke from Holly's collarbone to her neck, but it was not easy to notice because of the black dress.

For those highly powerful arcane masters, it is not uncommon to have some mystical runes engraved on their bodies. Some crazy guys even engraved runes all over their bodies, turning themselves from farmers into Brother Ni. Lin En didn't care too much about it.

However, just now, after Holly touched him, the black mark actually shrank back!

The purpose of engraving the mystical runes is not for decoration, of course, but to cast some kind of formation or protection on oneself through depiction. However, those are powers that are kept in reserve or used only when necessary. After all, the arcanist's small body that will cry for a long time after being punched cannot withstand the violent magic power of the mystical runes burning close to the body several times.

But this does not fit the current situation.

Holly has been indulging in the study of strange objects for many years. She is not good at arcane combat, and her level of arcanist can only be described as mediocre, at most at the sixth ring level.

But this does not mean that the other party is a rookie who is easy to deal with. The reason why the magician is called a miracle worker is because they can use magic to do things that they could not do by themselves. For example, Holly, who is not a space-type person, can open the space gate more skillfully than Solgana.

The magical item that Holly carries with her has ten thousand ways to protect herself, whether it's mind control, memory modification, magic rebound or something else, it can be passively activated before Lin En touches it, so there is no need to activate the mystical rune tattoo that will have a negative effect on herself.
