Chapter 21 (2/2)

“Please let me finis.h.!.+” Barbara’s brown eyes is filled with worry: “If under normal circ.u.mstances, I’ll naturally not trouble you, but last year, Kyle’s grandfather made a deal with my father to preserve their family’s n.o.ble status……Kyle is going to marry into our Longman family next year June, our firstborn will inherit the Reed family and the children in the future will belong to Longman family. This is the contract we signed then.”

A parchment is placed on the table, there is signs of magic in the paper, this is a magic contract.

Liang Li Dong frowns at the sight: “Does Kyle not know about this?”

Barbara nods: “He really does not know. However, recently Village Head Reed seems to want to go back on his words. He did many plans in the city but we did not mind, after all, he is Kyle’s grandfather. I also do not want things to turn sour, but from the day before yesterday, things have slight changes, you and Kyle appeared in Winter Wind City together……A spellcaster, Longman family does not want to be enemies with spellcaster and we understand, as long things are said clearly, many unnecessary misunderstanding can be resolved so I came.”

“This is your affairs, I’ll not step in.” Liang Li Dong helplessly smiles: “Since Village Head already had a deal with you all, this is an affair between the two families, I’ll not get mixed in. Although Kyle is considered as my student, I also understand the fairness and sacredness of contracts, spellcasters all the more want to comply with these things.”

“Thanks for your understanding.” Barbara seems very happy.

“However, after this is over, I’ll confirm it with old Village Head, if things are really as you have said, I will maintain complete neutrality. You all can take your time to settle this things slowly.” Liang Li Dong stands up: “Naturally, if there is any difference, I may step in and interfere a bit, by that time, I hope Miss Barbara do not hate me too much. After all, Kyle is also my student.”

Barbara sighs slightly: “I understand, we will not go over your bottom line, please rest a.s.sured.”

This is what Liang Li Dong can fight for Kyle, the maximum amount of support already. Old Village Head actually signed a magic contract with someone, if he tries to go back by force, not to mention Reed family has not power to fight against Winter Wind City’s mayor, even if Liang Li Dong steps in and managed to make mayor take a step back but as long as Barbara brings the magic contract back to Red Magic Tower, with that force’s stubborn temper of protecting their own people, it is a miracle if they do not send a few strong Mages to help Barbara get back.

“And, this is a small token of our appreciation, please accept it.” Barbara places a box on the table.

“You’re too courteous.” Liang Li Dong did not accept the other party’s present, he stands up: “If there’s nothing else, I need to go back and continue crafting magic scrolls already.”

Barbara also stands up and seriously does a gesture of thanks.

This Barbara is actually not a bad person, as a spellcaster, although she is proud, she is not that arrogant and knows how to deal with things and people really well. Logically speaking, she has reason on her side in this matter but as a spellcaster, she specially came to this small village and explains to Liang Li Dong the cause of this matter voluntarily.

Being able to raise a daughter like this, the Winter Wind City’s mayor’s shrewdness is probably not that bad.

In comparison, old Village Head just have too many petty tricks, always trying to make use of others to do work for him, taking some advantages, are all petty tricks.

Liang Li Dong exits the house and sees that the old Village Head and Kyle are waiting in the courtyard. He says to the old village head: “I have known the gist of the matter, no wonder when we went to the city the other day, you specifically said those words. Old Village Head, I don’t intend to interfere in this matter, the things you did, resolve it yourself, explain to Kyle yourself.”

“But you’re Kyle’s teacher.” Old Village Head is a little anxious already.

“Precisely because I’m Kyle’s teacher, all the more that I hope that he can fulfill the promise” Liang Li Dong smiles slightly indifferently: “Although you are the one to make the promise, he is your grandson, helping grandfather solve problems is also his obligation. I don’t understand why did you make this decision in the first place and regretting now but personally, I do not intend to help people be fickle.”

Kyle is confused from hearing at the side, he asks: “Grandfather, Teacher, what are you all saying, it seems to be related to me?”

“I think your grandfather will explain it to you very soon, don’t be anxious.” Liang Li Dong pats on Kyle’s shoulder and leaves.

At this time, Barbara also comes out of the house, her face is slightly red, she says to the young man in the courtyard: “Kyle, my birthday is in 6 days, can you come to the city and attend my birthday party?”

Old Village Head’s expression becomes slightly ugly.

Liang Li Dong returns to the thatch house and prepares to continue crafting ‘Dimensional Anchor’ scroll. Standing on the shoulder, the always silent Joan suddenly says: “Master, your personality is quite weird, rational with a bit of pa.s.sion, and a bit of indifferent, hehe, exactly what kind of environment can produce someone as conflicted as you!”
