C27 Trying to be Smart?
Reynolds seemed to have realized his slip of the tongue. He coughed a few times and quickly explained, "I mean the Pope of the Church is also a white man. After all, he is not a god. It is normal for him to have some selfish motives. "
To be honest, although Reynolds's explanation made some sense, it was very difficult for Lee Xiang to believe it. He could not even pass this test himself, but this was not something Lee Xiang was curious about. The strangest thing was the tone of his voice. One should know that he was also an authentic Caucasian. But why did he give people the feeling that he did not like white people? This was not the first time Lee Xiang had such a feeling. A few days ago, he had felt that his words were somewhat disrespectful towards the goddess that everyone on this continent respected.
Obviously, Lee Xiang knew that he would not get the answer he wanted even if he continued to ask. So he simply shrugged and sighed. "It seems that I have thought myself clever again today! But I still insist that I did not do anything wrong. . . "
Reynolds sneered. "You are not just thinking that you are smart, you are really stupid to the extreme. . . "
"Sigh, my dear teacher, you seem to have forgotten that you want me to perform well?"
"I wanted you to perform well, but I didn't let you play these silly little tricks. . . And this little trick of yours might affect whether you can be released by Count smoothly. . . "
"Don't tell me that you want me to perform well because you want me to borrow his power to pressure Count Walker to let me out?" Lee Xiang was stunned again. To be honest, he did think so. Reynolds seemed to have clearly conveyed this news to him. That was why he only had one purpose in his words. To put it bluntly, he wanted the Emperor to express a point of view. The Lower Race was also his people and could also create wealth for him. It should also be respected.
Reynolds sighed slightly and gave Lee Xiang a deep look. "This time, you are so smart that you have been fooled by your own intelligence. That's right, that's what I meant. But can't you be more tactful? Do you have to show off so much? You have to know that what you said just now will make people feel uneasy. They will think that a person like you might cause a lot of trouble if you go out. Concealment. You have to know how important it is to be reserved. You have to know what it means to be calm and collected. . . If in the future you only want to be happy for a moment and don't care about the consequences, then you might as well stay here obediently. Because you will end up in an even more miserable state if you go out. . . " Reynolds's voice was stern. ". . . Although I have to admit that you are very smart, but now it seems that you are still too young. There are a lot of things that you still don't understand! You have to remember that a smart person might not get a good ending. Sometimes, it might even be an extreme case. So in the future, what you have to do is to make your little intelligence turn into great wisdom. This is just like when you encounter a bottleneck when you practice magic. This transformation process is a bottleneck in your life. It all depends on how you break through him. . . "
Reynolds's words unknowingly touched upon something that Lee Xiang did not think had anything to do with. To be honest, he was already used to it. Sometimes, Lee Xiang even had a strange feeling that he was not here to teach him magic. He was here to teach him how to survive in this world and how to obtain what he wanted. However, Lee Xiang was still very grateful to him, even though he did not know what he was thinking.
However, Lee Xiang himself had to admit that even if he had two lifetimes of experience as a human, he still had to admit it. Of course, with his experiences in two lives, these things could not be said to be taught, because there were actually many things that he was more thorough than Reynolds. Rather than saying it was teaching, it was more accurate to say it was nurturing.
In fact, after a few years, he had obtained a very good proof. The things that Reynolds taught Lee Xiang were much more useful than simply teaching him magic.
"Do you mean that my words today will have side effects?" Lee Xiang sighed, because he also had to admit that Reynolds's analysis was very reasonable.
"Not necessarily. I just said. . . This is only a possibility. Isn't there another possibility? " Reynolds was very satisfied with Lee Xiang's attitude. For the first time ever, he revealed a smile. "They might think that what you said just now was just a complaint after being imprisoned for more than ten years. This also means that you are in a hurry to get out of here. But no matter what, I am certain that you will still leave this damn place in the end. However, if you can be a little more reserved today, it will be perfect. It's a pity that because of your performance today, I'm afraid there will be some small trouble in the future. . . "
"Why?" Lee Xiang was slightly moved.
"I think you should have guessed who that middle-aged man was. That's right, he is the monarch of Reiss Empire! But do you know who the other Duke is? " Reynolds didn't answer Lee Xiang's question directly.
Lee Xiang shrugged, showing an expression that said, If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you.
"He is the lord of the Southern Silo Province, Duke Ronton!"
"Oh. " Lee Xiang was very interested. At the same time, he immediately thought of Reynolds mentioning the riot in the south. However, he still couldn't figure out what this had to do with him leaving this damn place.
"Actually, you might be more interested in the other identity of Duke Ronton!" Reynolds looked at Lee Xiang and smiled meaningfully. "I don't think you know that he is actually Count Walker's father-in-law, countess's father. Of course, he is still your grandfather. "
"What?" Lee Xiang cried out involuntarily. This time, he was really shocked. He never thought that the Silo Province he had been looking forward to, was actually. . . Actually the territory of his grandfather in this world. Wasn't this too much of a fucking coincidence? It was so coincidental that he almost couldn't believe it.
"This. . . Does this have anything to do with me being able to leave this place?" Lee Xiang was a little nervous.
To be honest, even Reynolds had to admit it. This was the first time he had seen such an expression on Lee Xiang's face.
"Of course it has something to do with you. If it wasn't for your grandfather, Duke Ronton, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to leave this place. Of course, you still have to thank the large-scale riots that happened not long ago. There are also a few other factors that are indispensable. . . "
Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. He vaguely thought of a key problem in his heart. But he still needed to wait until there was a result before he could be sure.
