How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

Roy glanced at Jill and sighed, "And yet Elder Melm still came after us, trying to judge us based on our performance at the Academy Festival... Humph, old man, he really hasn't seen the world at all. What era is this?"

Jill didn't respond.

The main thing is that I don’t dare to speak - at times like this, I just listen to Dean Luo Yi’s complaints and act as a recorder.

On the contrary, Kallen looked a little uneasy. She lowered her head, clenched her fists, and held it in for a long time before she gave a soft reminder.

"Dean Luo Yi, please don't make any rash comments about Elder Melm. It will be a nuisance to those with ulterior motives..."

"I've said it, but is there any chance that the old woman will hear it?!"

It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned, but once it was mentioned, Roy immediately became even more dissatisfied!

"I already closed the windows, and there aren't any suspicious animals around. Elder Melm can't hear it!"

After being glared at by Roy, Kallen stopped talking wisely, clenched her fists, and fell into deep thought.

Now Jill didn't dare to say anything anymore - just wait for Dean Roy to finish venting.

"Fortunately, Seraphim is still somewhat sincere this time. Then... I certainly have no reason to refuse to cooperate with her."

"I'm indeed sorry to have dragged you into this, but... Jill, I have my own difficulties. I will never allow you to confess to Elder Melm."

The final problem fell on Gil.

After all, he is a "former yellow-haired man" who is in the process of "reforming himself", and Dean Luo Yi has something on him, so it is naturally easy for her to threaten him with it.

"Karen, don't be soft-hearted...keep an eye on him when necessary."

He paused, as if he felt it was a bit too much, and quickly added a sentence.

"Don't worry, Jill. Elder Melm can't stay in the capital forever. He will leave soon~"

The implication is simple: let him continue to bear the pressure?

And this request is not without benefits. Look, Dean Luo Yi has already adopted an almost "coquettish" tone of request.

"Don't tell me you'd rather be next to an old woman like Elder Melm...who looks at you like a child?"

Jill thought: Great, great, now even the honey trap is here, right?

He would not accept it, but when he met with Dean Luo Yi on this trip, he did not necessarily want to force Dean Luo Yi to accept his "showdown" plan.

He just wanted to know why Dean Roy insisted on cooperating with Seraphim, and now he did understand some of the reasons: if Seraphim came up with bad ideas because she didn't want to be bound by the church and wanted to live freely in the royal capital, then Dean Roy was probably more like a "good kid who was pushed into a corner" and finally found an opportunity to resist at this moment.

Gil could not give an answer to right or wrong at this moment, and an "outsider" like him could not judge whether Dean Roy's behavior was right or wrong, rebellious or willful.

No need.

Because: He just needed Dean Luo Yi to tell him these things, as for how to deal with Elder Melm's requests and intentions...

Just leave it to time.

Gil already had a plan. The next moment, he stood up and assured Dean Roy, "I understand, Dean Roy. I will not tell Elder Melm about our plan."

The little Loli in front of him did not immediately show a "satisfied" expression, as if she was considering what the purpose of his inconsistent attitude was.

That Jill would not hesitate to speak out.

"I intend to persuade Elder Melm to change his mind and stop getting entangled in the dispute between you and the High Elves represented by Seraphim... Let Elder Melm return, or rather... let Elder Melm become your and Seraphim's helper, helping you resolve this troublesome 'responsibility'."

"Varied……"

After a moment of hesitation, the elf loli in front of him immediately sneered, "Gil, are you trying to fool me? Are you crazy? Who do you think Elder Melm is?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that she was the instigator of the fight between Seraphim and me. How could you possibly make her change her mind at this point? Just based on your looks?"

Of course not, Jill didn't have the confidence to sell hooks in front of Elder Melm.

However, he was not lying or bragging, nor was he trying to comfort Dean Roy.

Dean Luo Yi soon noticed this from his expression, which didn't seem like a joke at all.

For a moment, he asked in confusion, "You...don't do anything stupid. If Elder Melm gets angry, he really won't care who you are."

"Don't worry, Dean Luo Yi~"

Jill waved to Dean Roy and was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Anyway, I have my own clever plan. Just wait for my good news."

Dean Roy's true thoughts and Karen's helpless reaction just now.

The awkwardness and conflicts between these troublesome high elves made Jill feel that he had finally found the end of the yarn.

The next step is to find a suitable time to convince Elder Melm.

Thinking this, Jill looked at Kallen, who was still keeping her head down and saying nothing, and said, "Miss Kallen, can you see me off?"

-

In the new month, everyone please remember to like and give some monthly tickets~

171. Let's pack it together (seeking votes at the beginning of the month~)

"what?"

Karen blinked in surprise, as if she had never expected that Jill would make such an "invitation", and subconsciously looked at Dean Roy.

However, at this moment, Dean Roy was still struggling with Jill's promise just now, so how could she have the mind to care about her?

So, without any burden, Kallen nodded and agreed.

Maybe... Karen herself didn't want to stay by Dean Roy's side at this time and feel that incredible negative energy.

"I understand. Then... Dean Roy, I'll stay with Jill first?"

Roy just waved her hand in response to Karen. The dean seemed to be still struggling with the complaint she had just made.

Although he felt a little sorry for Dean Roy, Jill really couldn't stay and "comfort" her right now because: his promise just now was not false, and he was not just trying to show off.

It wouldn't take long for him to gain the confidence to make sure that Dean Roy and Seraphim no longer had to worry about Elder Melm's existence and demands.

Using his own method, he is no longer "pretending to be a rich young master".

Moreover, it might be a permanent solution.

Soon, Karen followed him, and the two of them left Dean Roy's residence together.

After some trouble with Dean Luo Yi, it was almost noon. The students of the Elemental Magic Academy had finished their morning classes and were now flocking to the academy's cafeteria.

Karen was still the same. When she was with him, she looked like she didn't want to be discovered by other students. She even held Jill's hand and silently hinted to Jill with a little girl's expression: Don't contact other students.

"Jill, aren't you going back to the dorm? Let's hurry up..."

"Not in a hurry."

But this time, Gil did not agree immediately - he had more important things to do than going back to the dormitory or even making up for the classes he skipped in the morning.

such as……

Ask the elf girl who is following him some questions.

"Karen, what do you think of...the academy that Dean Roy built in the capital?"

"what?"

Kallen showed a puzzled look, then narrowed her eyes and muttered, "Is this a riddle? Jill...don't forget that you skipped class today, don't chat with me here."

"That's just what it says, Miss Karen."

Jill urged, "I just want to know your opinion of Dean Roy's achievements. As for skipping classes, I've already skipped the whole morning, so there's no need to rush."

Being late one morning and the whole day, the result is the same.

"..."

Kallen pursed her lips, almost turning into a headmaster, as if she wanted to preach like an elder.

But in the end he sighed and turned to answer Jill's question.

"It's pretty good."

Standing on tiptoe, Karen narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the students coming and going in the distance.

As she spoke, perhaps without even noticing it herself, the comments in her tone gradually became unlike what a "subordinate serving Dean Luo Yi" would say.

"As a member of the high elf royal family, Dean Luoyi could have done a better job. However, she became the dean here and established this academy...it seems more like she was just trying to meet the demands of the royal family and the elders."

"Perhaps it is this mentality that has prevented this academy from ever having the strength to compete with your Pyroxene School of Magic, Jill."

Jill suddenly interrupted Kallen's words.

"Karen, do you think Dean Roy is playing badly?"

"Although it may be a bit impolite, my academy is the hard work of the entire kingdom. The investment and resources from all sides are incomparable to what Dean Luo Yi has here, okay?"

However, Karen seemed to regard his defense of Dean Roy as just a "quibble".

"Perhaps, but the outcome of the Academy Festival has nothing to do with the overall strength of the Academy, but rather depends more on the talents of individual students. Roy, you could definitely do better in this kind of thing, and you clearly have a better chance than Seraphim who's just idling away, but..."

Suddenly, Kallen stopped talking as if she realized something.

Then he stopped complaining and started speaking well of Dean Luo Yi.

"Of course, unlike Seraphim, who entered as a student, Dean Roy has already demonstrated her ability as a member of the royal family. It's enough for her to hold a place in your human capital and earn the respect of others. I think... even Elder Melm wouldn't be able to find fault with her."

Then he turned around and added considerately.

"Don't worry. Didn't I tell you that Elder Melm is very generous? Even if Dean Roy complained so much just now, Elder Melm wouldn't care even if he knew."

Such assurance seemed to comfort Jill.

Naturally, Jill's doubts were gradually resolved, and there was no longer any doubt.

Only the last step is left.

"Well, Ms. Kallen, can I ask you this: If you had to compare Dean Roy and Seraphim, who do you think is better now?"

"They are equally matched. They are both excellent high elves."

After a pause, Kallen quickly added, "Of course. I'm a servant serving Dean Roy, and I'm considered a 'knight' in the kingdom. So, of course I'll choose Dean Roy."

"What's wrong, Jill? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Could it be... is this related to what you just promised Dean Roy: that you have a way to make Elder Melm stop?"

Jill smiled and said, "Almost. Then... I'm planning to go somewhere next. Miss Karen, could you please come with me?"

"How come..."

She hesitated to speak, but in the end: Kallen chose to follow obediently.

After leaving the Elemental Magic Academy, Jill went to the palace where Seraphim usually lived - at this point in time, Seraphim was still studying in the academy, so how could he possibly find Seraphim in the palace of the high elves and the royal capital?

However, this was exactly the opportunity Gil wanted—Karen's identity would allow him to enter the palace unhindered, and after that, when Seraphim was gone, there would be no one around to disturb him except the "high elves."

This is the perfect place for him to "reveal the mystery."

At this moment, in the palace, in the garden.

It was here that Seraphim came up with the bad idea of "fooling Elder Melm". When he came here again, Jill turned around, stopped, looked seriously at Kallen who had stopped walking behind him, and asked.

"Miss Karen, do you have any impression of this place?"

Then, without giving the elf girl in front of him any explanation or even a chance to take action, he added this sentence.

"I'd like to ask, do you remember the last time we met here?"

172. Yellow hair is an attitude, not a profession (seeking votes at the beginning of the month~)

Sure enough, it was a personal experience and a very ordinary thing, but the elf girl in front of him looked confused as if she had heard it for the first time.

Just as Jill thought: Miss Karen now would not know the answer to the question.

【Current】

The elf girl before him was no fool; she immediately noticed the hidden meaning in Jill's words. And, should I say, "As expected of her"?

After realizing what was happening, his reply to Jill was so reasonable and natural.
