Chapter 138: Who Are You Calling a Shortie?
One could not tell from Alan’s narcissistic gaze that he meant what he said.
He sincerely believed that he was the strongest mage here, and was also the most promising person present, which gave him the confidence to say that Eddie’s maidservants should all follow him.
But… He might have thought too highly of himself.
Eddie’s maidservants wouldn’t give a damn about an ordinary tier 6 mage like him.
He had originally thought that these maidservants would throw themselves into his arms after he said all this, but the current situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
Not only did these three maidservants not throw themselves at him, they even directly ignored his cool speech just now.
Wait! Are they blind?
He had just toyed with a tier 5 knight in the palm of his hand, and a tier 5 knight was not something that could be found on the streets.
If they were in the Imperial Capital, there would be an obscene number of girls who would want to marry him.
Why weren’t they even glancing at him? What kind of maidservants are these people? They must be fake!
If Thor and the others could hear Alan’s inner thoughts at this moment, they would definitely be speechless.
In the Saint Bauhinia Magic Academy, people with such strength were so common they were like junk on the streets.
And now Alan was here bragging about it. It seemed he had an exaggerated opinion of his abilities.
Thor, Hermione, and Autumn looked at each other and decided to ignore these humans who were performing clown shows here.
The deadline set by big sister Emily was getting closer and closer.
If they didn’t fix the floor before dinner, they would have to starve.
“Let’s fix the floor first.” Thor still had the mithril in her hands as she suggested.
Hermione and Autumn naturally agreed.
“Okay, let’s deal with that first. It’s more important.”
The three of them were about to leave.
However, Alan, who was beside them, was amused when he heard their conversation.
Oh, so it turned out that after all this time, the three maidservants had been anxious to repair the floor of this shabby castle.
Did these beauties need to do such things themselves?
It seemed that the noble who owned the castle was very much broke, to the point they had fallen to such a state.
No wonder they had to sell the perfume, which was such a magical item.
Alan said in a teasing tone to the maidservants, “What’s so nice about fixing the floor? If the three of you go back with me and serve me well, you can have whatever you want.”
As the first heir of the William Family, these words were true.
It was absolutely no problem for him to support a few women.
Just as young master Alan was still trying to get the girls, Jack, the knight, noticed that something was off.
“Lisa, look at the thing in that girl’s hand. Doesn’t it look like mithril?”
As the water element healer in the team, Lisa was one of the few people in the team who had put in a lot of effort in non-combat knowledge.
She knew all kinds of wild plants and materials.
Sometimes, even Jack had to ask Lisa for advice.
Facing Jack’s question, Lisa also carefully looked at the things in Thor’s hand.
She compared the object to the information she had seen in the library of the Imperial Capital.
“Hmm… the color and texture of the materials are very similar, but this piece is too big.”
“Too big?”
“Yes, generally speaking, even the palace doesn’t have such a big piece of mithril, so it shouldn’t be something like mithril.”
Lisa directly denied Jack’s idea.
With just a trace of mithril, it could greatly improve the performance of weapons and armor.
Even the kingdom didn’t have such a big piece of mithril.
On top of that, it was going to be used to repair the floor, as the other party had said.
There was nothing wrong with what she said, it was just that Jack felt that her words were merely a logical deduction.
What if that thing in the hands of that maidservant was indeed a piece of mithril?
Although Jack knew that this idea of his was very absurd, once he had this thought, there would always be a voice echoing in his mind.
Since that was the case, he might as well just take it over and study it.
Jack did not hesitate for too long before he made a decision.
After all, the other party was only three maidservants, and he was a tier 6 knight.
Wouldn’t it be as easy as ABC to get what he wanted?
At this moment, everyone had completely forgotten about the possible threat the maidservants might pose.
Looking at them, they could only think about how they were going to divide the belongings of this little noble.
Jack directly barked at the other party, “Hey! That short blondie over there, hand over that thing in your hand to me.”
The short blondie that Jack had said was obviously referring to Thor, and the thing he wanted was the mithril in Thor’s hand.
However, Thor didn’t realize that the other party was calling her.
When Jack said short blondie for the second time, everyone’s eyes focused on Thor.
It was only then when Thor, who was holding the mithril in her hand, finally realized that the “short blondie” was referring to her.
Thor pointed at herself.
“You were calling me just now?”
Jack seemed to be a little impatient, “Nonsense, besides you, who else is short here?”
Thor looked around.
Alan had blonde hair, but he was more than 1.8 meters tall.
Lisa also had blonde hair, but she was also more than 1.7 meters tall.
Only she was 1.6 meters tall.
Compared to this group of people, he was indeed shorter.
But this was all because she hadn’t entered adulthood yet!
“Shortie, give the thing in your hand over for me to take a look.”
Jack gave an order without holding back.
Thor, who was already unhappy at the other party’s mention of her height, was now confused and impatient.
Thor:”???”
She dared him to repeat himself. If he did, she would send him to where he was supposed to be in an instant.
The main reason she was still holding back was that they were near the castle.
Although sister Emily had set up a soundproof spatial barrier, if she used too much power, it would destroy the barrier.
When that time came, not only would they be discovered by Master, big sister Emily would probably also give them a good lecture.
Thor tried her best to calm herself down, suppressing the anger in her heart.
However, Jack’s next words broke through all the calm that she had forced herself to maintain.
Jack said to John in a joking manner, “This shortie isn’t tall, but she’s quite stubborn. It seems that she refuses to admit that she’s short.”
Although he didn’t say these words with a loud voice, Thor and Hermione were legendary creatures, and they could even understand lip language.
Hermione had been holding back her laughter from the moment she heard the other party say that Thor was short.
Now that Jack’s words were out, Hermione immediately turned her head away, as if she was trying hard to control something.
However, the way her shoulders trembled completely exposed her true thoughts.
Autumn was the same.
Wanting to maintain Thor’s dignity, the two of them did not laugh out loud in front of Thor.
But this time, Jack could be said to have completely infuriated Thor.
Thor looked at Jack with a dangerous gaze as she said coldly, “Who are you calling a shortie? Huh?”
