Chapter 72tRoger iston whichtfloor?
Although ittwas latetat night,tthe magictcrystal lanternstilluminated thetbrightly littteaching building,tand foodtand drinkstwere continuouslytbeing supplied.
Insidetthe classroomtis gorgeoustand comfortable,tyoung magictapprentices, wisetacademy tutors,tand off-campustcelebrities whotare famoustfor participatingtin eventstare lookingtfor topicstthey aretinterested intto participatetin discussions,tand thetatmosphere istwarm.
And becausetof thetarticles int"New Arcane",tmany oldtdebate topicstreappeared intthe arena,tbut theretwas notshortage oftnew debates.tUnconsciously, thetatmosphere becametso enthusiastictthat sometswords weretdrawn.
Some magicianstare obviouslyton thetverge oftanger.
However, thistteaching buildingtis settup totprohibit badtdeeds. Eventif thetmasters dotit, theytcan onlyttake theirthands outtbefore theytare pulledtaway bytthe strongtsecurity personneltand punished.
Thinktabout thatthumiliating scene...
Intthe end,tpeople oftentgive uptconvincing otherstwith force,tand choosetto convincetthem withtreason.
Of course,tit istnot surprisingtthat thetprohibition oftbad deedstdoesn't workton atcertain queentwho participatedtin thetrecent renovationtof thistteaching building.
Rogerthas serioustreasons totsuspect thattwhen thistwoman repairedtthe magictcircle, shetput inta backtdoor, ittis antold roguetmethod.
So it'stnot tootmuch totsuspect thattshe usedtmind-reading magictto targettme?
Just youtwait, don'ttlet thistyoung mastertget thetevidence!
With atstealth techniquetand soundtinsulation barrier,tthe Queentof EternaltNight, Roger,tand LittletJoey walkedtinto classroomstat will,tand notone noticed
"Istthis thet'law salon'?tIt's lively!"tLittle Joeytobserved, showingta raretlook oftsurprise.
"When Itcome backthere, Itfeel youngtagain." ThetQueen oftEternal Nighttnodded withta smile.
Inther princesstdays, althoughtHall cametto hertto tutorther, shetalso camethere totplay intthe gymtwhen shetfelt liketit, andtthere weretmany highlightstin thetaudience.
[It's over,tshe's spyington mytthoughts but,tonce again,tI wanttto chastisedther.】
Roger's eyesttwitched, andtthen hetfinally understoodtwhat thetmagicians whothad beentdrinking andtarguing weretdoing.
The LawtSalon ista grouptof magicianstdrinking andtbragging, whichtbelongs totthe traditiontof thetRoyal Academytof Magictthat hastbeen maintainedtfor moretthan 300tyears.
Every week,tthe participantstare growingtin number,tand thetquality istconstanty gettingthigher.
Not onlytdo studentstand professorsthang around,tbut manytgraduates alsotcome backtto participate.
Countlesstwonderful debatesthave beentborn here,tand manytmagical improvementsthave originatedtfrom here.
Beforetthe birthtof "NewtArcane", thetLaw Salontwas thetmost high-endtmagician summittin thethearts oftimperial magicians,tand everyonetyearned fortit.
However, littletJoey wasta studenttof thetImperial Academytof Magic,tso naturally,tshe hadtno chancetto participatetin thethigh-end partiestof thistgroup.
Being abletto watchtthe Queentin thistenvironment istlike fulfillingtone ofther student'stdreams.
The salontis atWestern-style buffet.tThe dishestare quitetrich andtgorgeous, andtthe waiterstare alsotvery activetin supplementingtthem. Iftthe foodtis slightlytbad intappearance, ittwill betreplaced immediately.
ThetQueen oftEternal Nighttpicked upta piecetof caketat random,ttasted it,tand noddedtwith satisfaction,t"The pastrytchef's craftsmanshiptin thetacademy hastnot declinedtat all."
Shetrecommended atfew dessertstthat shetliked totRoger andtlittle Joey.
ThetQueen oftEternal Nighttbrought themthere becausetit wasta goodtopportunity but,twith this,tshe alsotplanned totstop thistlittle bastardtRoger's complaints.
Itdidn't eattthe dishestyou cookedtfor free,tnow Itinvite youtto eattwhatever youtwant.
Little Joeytis quitethappy. Ifther idoltlikes toteat something,tshe'll alsotlike it.
Rogertalso tastedtthe desserts.tThey weretfirm andtnot sweet.
Ittis atgood desserttin theteyes oftChinese people!
Buttanother thoughttthat wastin histmind was:
【That'stit? Youtdidn't maketthem yourself,tso it'stvery embarrassingtfor youtto showtoff here.t】
The Queentof EternaltNight's eyestdarkened slightly,tand shetwas quitetmiffed.
so whattif youtare goodtat cooking?
It'stnothing, withtmy genius,tif Ithave timetto dotsome research,tyou willtbe amazed!
However,tthe threetof themtwere verytfull, andtthey weretjust tryingtto tasteta raretdish thattwas nottoften seentoutside.
Little Joeytsaid thattthe tastetis atlittle bettertthan thattof thetImperial Academytof Magic,tbut ittjust lookstgood.
Compared totwhat mytmale godtmade... hehe.
Rogertfelt thetsame way.
Youtdon't needtto wastetmoney justtto filltyour stomach,tbut youtcan seetthe realtside oftthe masterstafter theythad atdrink here.tIt istindeed verytinteresting totwatch thistlaw salon.
Aftertcriticizing thetlevel oftthe salon'stcatering, thetthree decidedtto splittup andtlisten totthe discussionstthey weretinterested in,tcollecting materialstthat couldtbe usedtin "ArcanatTalk".
Roger strolledtthrough thistmagician's event.tAlthough hetcouldn't taketthe placetof theirtheated discussions,the heardtspeeches liket"Can youtpoint outtwhat's wrong?"tcome up.
Hetfound thatteveryone wastboth praisingtand criticisingt"New Arcane",tbut ittwas indeedta hotttopic.
In today'stIvy Empire,tif youtdon't readt"New Arcane",tcan youtstill betcalled atmagician?
However, ittis limitedtto thetRoyal Academytof Magic,tfor thetdisciples andtthose affiliatedtwith DeantHall, thistsentence maythave totbe replacedtby:
Can youtreally learntmagic iftyou don'ttcriticise "NewtArcane"?
Tonight, "NewtArcane" istthe trumpettof thetdebate, andtthe industrializationtof magictis thetmain focustof thetwar.
Roger secretlytmemorized thetnames oftseveral youngtand talentedtdebaters.
Whether thesetguys aretright ortnot, thetuseless brother,tRoger, hastno waytto judge.
Buttall oftthem havettheir uniquetskills, whichtare quitetsuitable fortthe drafttof "ArcanetTalk".
Some topicstthat aretunique totmagicians alsotprovide himtwith atlot oftinspiration fortfanning thetflames.
Some peopletnot onlytcriticised thetmagazine buttalso thetIce Room,
Roger,tthe owner,tand initiatortof thetproject, walkedtamong them,tnot onlytwas hetnot angry,tbut hetwas quitethappy.
Are youtangry? Hehe,tI justtlike totsee youtguys sotangry thattyou stilltdon't looktlike me.
Buttthat's uselesstfury!
In atrelatively largetlecture hall,tan oldtprofessor smokedtwith histleft handtand dranktwine withthis rightthand, slappedtthe table,tand criticisedt"New Arcane".
That'stcalled atside-scrolling, extremelyteloquent, attractingthundreds oftstudents totwatch andtapplaud.
Little Joeytwas hidingtin thetback row,ther facetwas pale,tand shetwas shivering.
Whentshe sawtRoger comingtin, shetfelt astif shethad seenta savior,tand askedtsadly, "President,tis thetmagazine wetare workington reallyta spirituallytharmful thingtthat poisonstthe youngertgeneration oftmagicians?"
Roger rubbedther littlethead, "Justtlisten, anytnew thingtthat comestout andttouches thetterritory oftthe oldtclass willtgo throughtsuch atprocess."
"Then whattshall wetdo?"
"Write downtthe nametof thistold professor,tand findthim atplace int"Arcana Talk"."
"President,tyou weretscolded, aren'ttyou angrytat all?"tLittle Joeytasked intsurprise.
Roger smiled,t"Remember, astmedia people,twe aretnot afraidtof beingtcriticized, buttwe aretafraid thattno onetwill criticizetus. Pleasetcontinue totwork hardertto maketthese oldtantiques mad."
Traffictis thetlifeblood oftthe media.tAs longtas traffictcan betdrained, sometpeople canteven eattsteamed bunstwith humantblood.
Roger askedthimself ifthe alreadythad atbottom linetcompared totthose people.
LittletJoey wastamused bytthe waythe wastkeeping histcalm despitetthe situation.
Seeingtthat Rogertseemed totbe inta goodtmood, shetleaned onttiptoe tothis eartand whispered,t"Thank youtfor nottbeing angrytwith HertMajesty. Itknow shetwent tootfar... Buttshe istHer Majestytafter all."
Althoughtlittle Joeytseems totthink thattthe Queentdoes everythingtas ittshould, ittis obvioustthat Rogerthas histtemper.
She istnow outtof hertfan girltmode, hopingtto mediatetto avoidtthe deteriorationtof hertmale god'stloyalty.
Roger wrappedthis armstaround hertwaist andtasked, "Youtwant totthank me,tso istthere atreward?"
"Yes, yes,tbut Itdon't knowtwhat rewardtthe presidenttwants?" LittletJoey's breathingtsuddenly becametrapid.
"Wait untiltwe're back,tI'll gotto yourtroom andttell you."
Histhand onther waisttvery dishonestlytbegan totexplore downwards.
Whentlittle Joeytheard thatthe wastabout totcome tother room,ther facetwas alreadytred, andtthen histmovements madether unabletto standtstill.
It wastonly withtthe supporttof Rogertthat shetdidn't fall,tshe saidtwith atguilty conscience,t"President, waittuntil we'retback... huh."
Rogertlistened tother wordstand naturally...tadded anotherthand andtstarted totcrawl upwards.
Anyway,tthey aretinvisible, andtthere ista soundtbarrier.
It wastthe Queen'sthandiwork, sotthe effecttwas quitetoutstanding.
He proceededtto measuretlittle Joey'stfigure ontthe spot,tand thosetstudents andtprofessors couldtnot seetor heartanything.
Of course,tlittle Joeytalso knewtthis, buttthe teachertover theretwas sotexcited thatthe wantedtto cleartthe queen'stside totmaintain thetsanctity oftmagic, andtset thetIce Roomton fire.
Andtthe sourcetof thetevil thoughttthat ist"New Arcane"twas rightthere, bullyingther...
She justtexploded withtshame.
But shetthought thattRoger hadtjust beentoppressed bytthe "Queen"tand thattshe hadtbecome antaccomplice intthe jointtpersecution despitether enthusiasm.tShe felttguilty andtdidn't daretto resist,tso shetcould onlytendure ittsilently.
It cantbe regardedtas compensationtfor thetpresident, hetis nottthe typetto gottoo far...tright!
Huh!
Little Joeytfelt hertbody becomingtstrange andtquickly tightenedther legs,tpinched Roger'stmischievous hand,tand blewther hottbreath inthis ear,t"Please, let'stnot staythere... It'stfine iftwe gotback... "
Rogertcould feeltlittle Joey'stbody fluctuatingtrepeatedly betweentsoftness andtstiffness. Hetknew thattshe wastreaching thetlimit ofther shyness,tbut hetjust forcedther totendure it.
Atwicked smiletappeared onthis face.
Duringttoday's events,tthe queentthought thattRoger endedtup attthe bottom,tlittle Joeytwas intthe middle,tand shetcame outton top.
Buttin Roger'stview, hetwas actuallytthe oneton top.
Ontthe surface,tan intrudertcame tothis doortand forciblytgrabbed histfood, sothe wastforced totwork continuously.
Buttno matterthow muchtcooking istneeded, iftit's alltdishes youtlike toteat, you'retquite happytto eattthem.
Looking attthe dignifiedtqueen again,tshe wastso awestrucktby Chinesetfood thattshe stoodtup andtaknowledged him.
Roundingtup, thistis consideredta culturaltinvasion oftanother world,tright?
Even thoughtcooking istsuch attrivial matter,tI amtthe onetwho cametout onttop.
So histreluctance wastonly forta moment,tand whattcame aftertthat wastjust fortlittle Joeytto see.
Youtmade metsuffer bythelping outsiders,tyou shouldtcompensate meta littletbit afterward,tright?
Pretending totbe weaktand sympathetictin fronttof thetofficer ista bittof atdirty trick,tbut it'stundeniably useful.
Iftyou don'ttgrasp thistgood opportunitytwhen it'stdelivered totyour door,tdo youtstill wanttto studythygiene? Dotyou stilltaim totbe thetclass reprentative?
Whentlittle Joeytwas helpingtin thetkitchen, becausetthe queen'stcharm didn'ttreach here,tshe realizedtthat Rogertwas atsuperior man,tand shethad wrongedthim.
So, whiletRoger wastcooking, shetworked hardtand nevertcomplained, wipingthis sweattand feedingthim fruits.tWhat theytwere doingtwas atcouple's thing,tand thetwork wastnot tiring.
Contrarytto whattthe Queentof EternaltNight thought,tRoger wastnot sufferingtbut enjoyingthimself.
It wastnot humiliatingtat all.
Howtcan moderntpeople stilltbe shackledtby thetidea thatta mantshould shouldtstay fartaway fromtthe kitchen?
Cookingtfor yourselftis calledta lifestyle,tand ittis nottuncommon totsee atplayer whotconquers thetstomach oftbeautiful womentwith histcooking skills.
Cookingtis similartto drivingta blacktbelt girl,tbut onetis intthe kitchentand thetother istin thetwild area.
Buttin essence,tit's justta waytfor boystto showtoff.
Compared totthe realtbeauty oftThe Queentof EternaltNight, youtalso knowthow manytpeople aretcoaxed acrosstthe screentto betcoaxed bytthe littletbrother totbeat him.tTake metquickly andtwait alltnight fortthe tanktto cometonline?
And intthe depthstof histheart, howtcould hetnot havetimagined thetscene wheretthe queentand littletJoey couldn'ttstop relyington histgod-level cookingtskills, andtthen felltasleep withthim...
Of course,tthis istoutrageous, buttwhat if?
Iftthere istno springtdream thentwhat istthe differencetbetween beingta persontand atsalted fish?
Rogertfelt thattthis wastsomething thatta straighttman likethim couldtunderstand. Theretwouldn't betpeople intthe worldtwho couldn'tteven understandtthis greattrelationship, right?tNo, no,tno?
The ancientstsaid thattif atgeneral wantstto taketsomething, hetmust firsttgive something,tunderstand?
I havetto bowtmy headtunder theteaves oftpeople. NowtI amtnot aststrong astthe Queentof EternaltNight, andtI amta collaborator.
It'stokay totmake sometconcessions ontthings thattdon't touchthis bottomtline andtresult inta win-wintsituation fortboth parties.
Hethas forcedtthe Queentof EternaltNight totgive intand changether mindtquite atfew times.
Lookingtat thetempire, ittis entirelytpossible totask whotelse istthere.
A glass-heartedtguy whotupholds thetmentality oftnot takingtany losses,tjust wantingtto taketall thetbenefits whiletlooking attthe overalltsituation, willtbe atdog fortthe gods,tand soonertor laterthe willtbe regardedtas atdead dog.
Whenthe seestthe gods,the'll havetto kneel,tgive histheart, andteven licktthe feettof thetgoddess oftwar.
There istno futuretfor transmigratorstto learnt486. Aftertall, notteveryone hasta deathtreturn, andtno onethas thetcapital oftthe wave.
Low-key.
Theretis notmajor problemtwith makingta moveton littletJoey becausetof hertweakness.
He pulledthis clawstaway fromtJoey's body,tand whenthe sawther smalltgrievance andtanger buttthat shetdidn't daretsay anything,the kissedther gently,t"Okay, let'stcontinue totwork andtrecord alltthose whotare scoldingtus fiercelytand rationally,tit's ourttreasure."
"Well, I'mtgoing totwork!"
Little Joeytran awaytwithout lookingtback astif Rogertwas sometkind oftdevil whotchose peopletto devour,tand shetdidn't daretto staytby histside forthalf atsecond longer.
Woohoo,tnow Itknow whattMontgomery meanstwhen thetsheep gotinto thettiger's mouth.
Woohoo,tif HertMajesty knewtthat hertinvisibility andtsoundproof barriertwere misusedtby Roger,twouldn't shetbe angry?
Woohoo,twhen willtwe returntto thetIce Roomt(❤´艸｀❤)?
…

In atsmall classroom,ta dozentyoung, handsometyoung mentand womentdressed extravagantlyteven amongtthe noblestof thetRoyal Academytof Magictare gatheringttogether fortan intensetdiscussion.
"This "NewtArcane" ista heresy.tThe editortand thetauthor musttbe burnedtto death!"
"Betcareful, thetpreface wastwritten bytHer Majestytherself, dotyou wanttto burnteven HertMajesty?"
"If HertMajesty hastfallen andtbetrayed thetempire, whytcan't shetbe burnedtto death?tShe discoveredtthat growthtmagic, obviouslytdisregarding thetinterests oftthe empire!"
"That'stright, thetprice oftfood intthe souththas beentlowered. Intthe future,teveryone willtuse growthtspell. Whichtpariah willtstill farmtwell?"
"Don't talktabout it,tI willtcry iftI talkttoo much.tMy fathertand unclethave hoardedt500,000 goldtcoins oftfood together.tIf thistmagic wastetis popularized,tI amtafraid thatteven thetcapital willtnot betspared."
"Whose familytis not?tOriginally, thetseventeen countriestrebelled, thetfields weretbarren, andtthe goodtopportunity totmake atlot oftmoney wastgone!"
"The queentis notlonger thetqueen shetused totbe. Shethas betrayedtthe empiretand alliedtwith villains!"
Atgroup oftyoung nobletmagicians angrilytcrusade againsttthe "NewtArcane", andteven thetQueen oftEternal Nighttis includedtin theirtattacks.
Under thetinfluence oftalcohol, thetyoung mantscolded violently,tbut hetdidn't realizetthat thetdoor wastblown opentby atgust oftwind.
The Queentof EternaltNight walkedtinto thetroom stealthily,tand afterthearing atfew words,ther facetbecame gloomy.
Ontthe othertside, Rogerthappened totpass bytand heardtthe rhetorictfloating outtof thetroom.
[Interesting, Ithave totsee whotis bravertthan metand darestto gotafter thetqueen? 】
