Chapter 464 The Real Master Arrives
Chapter 464 The Real Master Arrives
In a laboratory on the second floor of the round tower, two people stared at each other, and neither of them spoke easily.
Ever since Hotes came to visit, Ivan knew that the real culprit of the incident would soon arrive. Sure enough, only two days later, Tanya came alone.
Tanya used the excuse of discussing enchantment knowledge, and Ivan was not in a hurry to expose her.
Whatever knowledge she wanted to discuss, she would talk about it. Both of them were not easy to deal with, and neither of them was at a disadvantage in the confrontation of enchanting knowledge.
After which question was answered, the two fell into a long silence.
It turned out that Tanya was the apple of the Fitzroeder family's eye and a well-known genius wizard in the wizarding world. However, the following topic was too absurd and she found it difficult to speak for a moment.
If she didn't say it, Ivan wouldn't mention it either, because there was no rush anyway.
"Ahem! Wizard Ivan, I believe you should understand the difficulty of being promoted to an arcane wizard from level three, right?" After a long silence, Tanya finally broke the silence.
"I do understand. It's more difficult than any previous promotion." Ivan nodded slightly.
"Not only that, the difficulty should be a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times higher than before. You don't deny it, right?" Tanya said in a deep voice.
"You are right. If it weren't so difficult, there would definitely be more than forty or so arcane wizards in the wizarding world. Every time I think about the issue of promotion, my head gets bigger."
"If, I say if, there is a chance for you to get the support of the Fitzrod family and fully support you in becoming an arcane wizard, are you willing to take some risks for it?"
Hearing Tanya's tentative question, Ivan thought to himself that this guy was finally getting to the point.
"No." He shook his head decisively.
"Right now--you don't want to?" Tanya almost didn't react: "Why?"
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Moreover, being promoted to a fourth-level wizard is an extraordinary matter. In the end, you still have to rely on your own strength."
"It's different. With the help of the Fitzgerald family, you can save a lot of time and energy. You should understand that my Fitzgerald family has this ability."
"I believe in the ability of the Fitzrod family, but I prefer to believe that if something does not belong to you, you must not take it. Otherwise, the consequence may be that you and others will suffer, and it may be difficult for life or death."
Facing Ivan's affirmative words, Tanya finally realized that the other party probably already knew what she was going to ask for.
In this way, the other party will try to avoid you.
Tanya took a deep breath and thought carefully. This was a good thing. She could speak frankly instead of continuing to ramble and waste time.
She understood the other person's personality and way of doing things, so she thought about it before speaking again.
"Since you know something, I will be frank with you. I don't need you to marry me, and I won't really marry you. I just need to borrow your name. You will remain the same as you were before, and I won't interfere with you in the slightest.
As long as you agree, I will pay all the compensation I can, including borrowing Fitzrad's power to promote Offa."
Hearing her words, Ivan raised his eyebrows. She was really direct.
"Don't rush to refuse. The fact that I found you means one thing: you are definitely the most suitable candidate at the moment, and you can definitely meet the requirements of the Fitzrad family," Tanya added.
"I have four wives in Dongdu." Ivan said after thinking for a while.
"That doesn't count. They are not qualified to be your wife. At most, they are concubines. How can a strong man not have a few lovers and concubines?" Tanya was obviously well prepared.
The words may be crude, but the truth is there. The wizarding world is more practical than the human world, and the strong do have many privileges.
It's not entirely true to say that Perney, as a second-level wizard, is not qualified, but no one really cares about this, especially when the real lady herself doesn't care.
"How? As long as you agree, everything I say will be effective. If you violate it, you will be doomed to die a miserable death. I am willing to guarantee it in the name of Mother Earth and Fitzrud."
Seeing that he seemed to be somewhat moved, Tanya further emphasized. Ivan had never seen anyone who was so determined to escape from marriage. After all, he was a third-level wizard, a wise and talented person, and he could actually do this. He was very moved.
"Can I ask why you must change your engagement partner?"
"There's nothing I can't tell you. I have someone I like."
"That's it?"
“Isn’t that enough?
When Ivan saw Tanya's serious expression, he realized that she probably really thought so.
In other words, if I agree to this strange marriage proposal, I will have to wear an extra hat.
"Why don't you let him come forward on his own?"
"He can't."
Hearing Ivan's question, Tanya answered without thinking.
Ivan looked at her speechlessly. You knew clearly that the other person was definitely not good enough, but you still liked him so firmly. Isn't this contradictory? She is such a complicated woman, even after becoming a wizard.
"I'm sorry. I can't do that either."
"No, you can do it. I believe in my judgment." Tanya was very sure.
"You're wrong. I really can't do it." Ivan shook his head. Apart from anything else, he would never allow himself to be cuckolded, even in name only.
"Don't be so hasty to refuse. Listen to my conditions. I can provide several complete advanced meditation methods, many secret methods, and various resources, such as elemental crystals, magic gems--
In addition, I can mobilize one to three arcane wizards, and I can order them to take action once according to your request."
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Tanya simply laid out her own chips.
One had to admit that Tanya, who came from the Fitzrod family, provided conditions that were far beyond what ordinary people could match, such as elemental crystal marrow and magic marrow gems, which ordinary third-level wizards had probably never seen.
Ivan hadn't seen it either, he had only heard of it.
These two things are actually arcane-level things. The magic marrow gem is a magic stone that is better than the top-grade magic stone, and the elemental essence is a similar material that is superior to the top-grade elemental crystal. Both are relatively rare.
Such things often have unexpected effects in the hands of a third-level wizard.
Even so, Ivan shook his head stubbornly.
"Give me a clear reason to refuse, so that I will completely give up on you." Tanya stared at him for a while and said with her teeth clenched.
"My wife is not allowed to like other men."
"That's it?"
“Isn’t that enough?
Tanya smiled, as if she was suddenly amused by the anger.
"Is that your only reason?"
"No, it's just something I care about, that's all."
Hearing his words, Tanya was so angry that she laughed. This guy is really impenetrable and watertight.
