Leipzig is still brightly lit at eleven o'clock in the night.
In the city center of Leipzig, in a manor on Bronze Avenue, guests were leaving one after another.
A middle-aged man with black hair that is somewhat sparse, but still neatly combed back and styled to the point of almost shining, is holding a glass of red wine, smiling and nodding to say goodbye to his guests.
At this moment, a girl in a yellow dress who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old and with long light golden curly hair suddenly boldly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty the Earl!"
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man smiled gently, but his tone was almost kind: "What's wrong, our party star? Did you have fun, Christina?"
"I am very happy, Earl Dawn! Thank you very much for inviting me to your banquet..."
The girl had a bright and innocent smile on her face: "So I thought about it ...Does the one you mentioned before still count?"
"Which one?"
Earl Daun just smiled: "I don't remember it very clearly."< /p>
"That's it-"
Christina looked a little anxious.
She paused and lowered her voice and said: "You were very optimistic about me and wanted to ask me to be your secretary..."
"Ah, that's really not right. What a coincidence, Miss Weber."
Earl Dawn smiled: "But I have found a secretary - she is from Hailsing University like you, but you must also listen. Her name is Miss Zoe Ravens."
"Is that so...she is also interested in this..."
Christina Weber obviously knew the name and showed a little fear and unwillingness. Obviously, she didn't dare to compete with the girl named Zoe.
...Could this be the last time I attend a banquet of this level?
Christina bit her lip subconsciously.
As an alchemist, if you cannot get funding, there is basically no possibility of further progress.
It’s funny to say that alchemy has been the knowledge of turning stone into gold from the very beginning. Later, it could easily bring wealth and status to the great alchemists. But learning alchemy requires a lot of money...
Her parents are just ordinary company employees. It is already very difficult to support her in college, and even more than half of her tuition fees are paid. It's a loan. The price of extraordinary materials is beyond their affordability... But if they just graduate like this, they won't be able to find any profitable job!
——The dress she is wearing at the banquet now was borrowed from her senior sister who was born in a noble family!
Although there are scholarships in college...but that is really far away for Christina. She was already sweating profusely just trying to keep herself from failing classes and keeping up with the learning process to become a transcendent..
She was almost considered a genius in high school and had many suitors - but at Hircine University, she was surrounded by either real geniuses or extraordinary people who had been exposed to alchemy at a very young age.
Among her classmates alone, there are more than a dozen third-level alchemists, and in the class next door, there are extraordinary people who have been promoted to the fourth level. There are also people who rely on craftsmanship to establish Alchemy Workshop; there is even a senior who founded his own company two years ago based on many alchemy patents he obtained during his college years!
It is said that his current staff size is close to a hundred people, and he even joined the third alchemy group - one of the alchemy groups personally controlled by the Earl of Leipzig!
Christina couldn’t understand what these geniuses usually discussed. Just maintaining a fake smile and an expression of curiosity and realization was enough to make her feel pain.
——And now, she is due to graduate in one month.
Hiersin University is a six-year continuous study program, and a master's degree is automatically awarded after graduation.
If this continues, don’t talk about becoming a big shot and making a lot of money...
She can’t even pay off her student loans, and may even struggle to graduate - Helsingborg University The minimum requirement for graduation is the second level, and she has failed her first promotion ceremony six times in a row!
...She doesn’t want to go to the White Dove Opera House and put on those ridiculous clothes to show off her laughter.
After all, there are several junior students who admire her and are also frequent visitors to Baige. She couldn't afford to lose that face.
If the money is not paid, I am afraid that I will sell the family house and leave Leipzig in despair. But now Xing Antimony has no money anywhere, and Leipzig is already the most promising place... At least her parents can still find jobs.
And she is already considered good - she has a school girl from out of town who has just entered school. Because she spent too much at the White Dove Opera House... It is said that she went to the VIP room on her birthday. , and even pretended to be very skilled and played cards with other nobles inside.
But she has never played cards before, so she is naturally not a match for the veteran players inside. It was easy to lose money that I would never be able to repay in my lifetime. She also refused to work at the White Dove Opera House to repay the loan. After all, Hercinia University was very close to the White Dove Opera House, and many students would come here to play when there were no classes...
...So, Now she has gone to the Ziggurat to work as a "secondary teaching assistant" with no staff and a salary several times that of a formal teaching assistant.
Judging from the generous salaries and huge gaps in recruitment of teaching assistants in the Ziggurat, I am afraid that their "teaching assistants" are being used up quite quickly...
Fortunately, Christina He was born with a good skin and received a relatively good education when he was a child.
She was spotted by the Earl during her ballet performance in school.
Earl Dawn claimed that his recent secretary had returned to her hometown for business, and wanted to recruit her as an intern secretary for a period of time, and opened an appointment with her.A generous price that is almost irresistible -
In just one month, not only can she pay off her student loan, but the remaining money can at least support her promotion to the third level!
Christina is naturally not a fool.
After all, the University of Helsing is the best university in Leipzig, and it is also among the top three in the entire Star. Being able to enroll in school on her own has proven her strength.
This is obviously an invitation to her to be his lover-maybe not even a lover, at best it is just a new plaything.
This is still a bit too exciting for Christina, who is conservative and proud.
She is now twenty-four years old and has never even been in love... After all, before going to college, her peers were too naive for her; and after going to college, she has been I am desperately pursuing my studies and have no time to participate in various social activities.
But she hesitated at that time and still rejected the Earl's invitation at the risk of angering Earl Dawn.
But fortunately, the earl has a good personality and did not get angry even if he was rejected. Instead, he invited her to a banquet held at his home.
At this banquet, Christina met important people she had never seen in her life.
There are more than a dozen nobles above the rank of viscount. They were all crowded in this small Leipzig, complaining that the Count of Leipzig did not give them more land, while discussing the future of Star Antimony, widespread unemployment, and businessmen whose names she had never heard of. Damn goblins, increasingly inflated prices, and investments of hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
She also saw the senior she had admired when she was in school, who was now closely following a beautiful and evil lady; several of her mentors were also invited to the banquet, and they were meeting her They were all surprised when they arrived, which made her quite proud. There were also several handsome and well-dressed men and women who invited her to dance and praised her beauty in different words.
However, no one invited her to come and play with him like the Earl.
Christina has even thought about it. As long as someone invites her, she will definitely agree. No matter he is a noble or a businessman, an alchemist or a demonologist...even if he is a smelly necromancer, she is willing to play with him.
...Perhaps from that time on, she had already regretted her original decision.
And now, Earl Dawn's words made her even more embarrassed.
Of course she knows Senior Sister Zoe.
She was almost the dream lover of many male classmates back then. Now she has reached the fourth level before she was thirty, and has been invited to become a director of the Wangli Alchemy Association. And such people have become Count Dawn's "secretary"... So what does her original reserve count for? Stupid?
But just when Christina wanted to salute and say goodbye to the Earl, Earl DawnThe words changed: "But-"
"-You said?"
Christina's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to answer.
