Chapter 57 Rescue
The time was almost up, Lin Chen and others sat at the dining table, and soon, the servants of the Marquis Mansion put out some delicacies one after another. A graceful and luxurious lady stopped Xia Lu with a worried expression on her face, and the mother and daughter whispered what they were talking about.

"This time Xia Lu can come back safely, thanks to you, Lin Chen." At the dinner table, Xia Lu's father Nas looked at Lin Chen and said, which also attracted everyone's attention. Some displeased, but Lin Chen saved Xia Lu after all.

"Where, Miss Xia Lu also saved me, I just repaid the favor." Hearing what Nas said, Lin Chen waved his hand and said flatly. He didn't take the Marquis' compliment seriously.

"This guy seems to have seen the world, but he doesn't know how to be polite..." After being praised by himself, Lin Chen still looked plain, without the slightest complacency or joy, Nas murmured in his heart However, he was also displeased. For nobles, Lin Chen, who is so ignorant of etiquette, will never be looked down upon.

"Come here, bring the things up..." Suddenly, Nass yelled, and an attendant came over with a box. The attendant brought the box to Lin Chen, opened the box, and it was filled with golden Gold coins, at a glance, there are about hundreds of gold coins.

"What does the Marquis mean?" Looking at the gold coins in front of him, Lin Chen's face darkened a little.

Seeing that Lin Chen dared to show his face in front of him, Nas felt an unknown anger. Although he did not say that he had power in the imperial capital, at least everyone should give him three points of face. Now he is a brat He actually dared to put on a face in front of him, which could no longer be explained by ignorance of etiquette.

"It's nothing, you saved the little girl, I take it as meaning." As a marquis, although he was unhappy with Lin Chen's reaction, he didn't show it, but his face was also a little colder.

"Father!" Looking at the relationship between Nass and Lin Chen, Xia Lu shouted anxiously from the side. After all, Lin Chen was invited by herself. Don't you lose face?Besides, if you invite Lin Chen back for the first time and you get into trouble, will Lin Chen come back in the future?His own idea of ​​apprenticeship became even more ethereal.

Hearing Xia Lu's words, Nas's face darkened, and he glanced at Xia Lu. His stern eyes made Xia Lu wronged, and he was speechless for a while. On the one hand was his father, and on the other was Lin Lin who had helped him a lot. Chen.

Looking at Xia Lu, then at Nass, Lin Chen pushed the box in front of him, shook his head and said, "I won't accept these gold coins. I helped Xia Lu, and I never thought of repaying the favor. Don't talk about gold coins anymore."

Angry, he took out some gold coins to thank himself. What the other party did was already considered an insult to Lin Chen. If it was someone else, Lin Chen would definitely leave in a huff.

However, seeing Xia Lu's embarrassed face, Lin Chen at least had to take care of Xia Lu's face, so Lin Chen didn't get angry, at least he had to take care of face this time, at worst, he just didn't come here in the future.

"Given by the elders, don't dare to resign, haven't you heard of this sentence?" At this time, a male voice sounded at the door of the hall, and then a young and handsome man walked in with a gentle smile on his face , First, he gave a noble salute to Nas who was sitting at the head of the dinner table, and said in a personable manner: "I have seen uncle."

"Haha! Lolager! You came just in time! Sit down!" Seeing the handsome young man who walked in, compared with Lin Chen who was next to him with a plain face, he looked completely different, Nass He said with a hearty smile.

The man who appeared was none other than the young man that Xia Lu and Lin Chen met on the streets of the imperial capital today.

"Thank you, Uncle, for your seat." He replied gracefully. Lolager sat down next to Xia Lu. Both the Marquis and the Marquis smiled in satisfaction. Only Xia Lu looked disgusted. , but it's not easy to have a fit in front of his father, so he can only endure it.

"This friend, you did something wrong." After sitting down, Lolage turned his head directly, and looked at Lin Chen with a slight complaint: "As the saying goes, if you are given by the elders, you dare not resign. Since your uncle gave you gold coins, you Just accept it, otherwise, wouldn't it be my uncle's face?".

"En..." Looking at Lolage's elegant and polite appearance, Nas nodded in satisfaction. Whether it is etiquette or reason, Lolage has done a good job. He is indeed a person from a big family, but he is different. While satisfied with Lolage, Nas looked at Lin Chen's flat face again, and the gap was immediately apparent.

Hearing that Lolage made himself look bad on purpose, Lin Chen's face darkened even more. If it was really a gift from the elders, Lin Chen would not dare to refuse, but can the Marquis give him gold coins in general?This is simply insulting himself, putting himself in the position of being greedy for money to save Xia Lu.

"I've said it before, I don't want these gold coins..." Still endured, Lin Chen didn't get angry, and besides, Lin Chen couldn't say clearly about the Marquis's insulting behavior, otherwise, it would really mess up the relationship stiff.

"Huh..." Lin Chen actually refused when Lolage said that refusing would be a loss of face, which made Nas finally couldn't help but groaned coldly, expressing his displeasure in his heart, It's just that I don't want to argue with a junior, so I just snorted and didn't speak.

Seeing that the relationship between Lin Chen and Nass became tense, Lolage's eyes flashed a gleam of joy, but he shook his head with a look of exclamation on his face, and said, "I didn't expect you, my friend, to look down on this little gold coin." Well, it seems that you come from a big family? Can you tell me your origin?".

First, Lin Chen was placed at a high level of disdain for these gold coins, and Lin Chen was said to be from a big family, and then Lolage asked Lin Chen's background, which made it clear that Lin Chen would be further embarrassed.

In the past, when someone dared to walk in with Xia Lu, Lolage would try every means to make the other party embarrassing in front of Nass. Nass was very good at doing this kind of thing.

"I don't come from a big family! I'm just a commoner!" Seeing everyone staring at him, Lin Chen replied, but the anger in his heart became more and more intense.

If Marquis Nas was simply looking at himself as unhappy, then this Rorag was deliberately making things difficult for him, deliberately making himself embarrassed, and deliberately targeting himself.

"It turned out to be just a commoner, but I was mistaken. I saw that you didn't pay attention to these gold coins. I thought you were the young master of some family..." Lolager shook his head with a disdainful smile. Said.

"Huh!!!", a commoner dared to look down on his own gold coins. Nas's dissatisfaction became even heavier, and he continued to snort coldly. He was only a commoner, and he should bow his knees in front of nobles, let alone himself as a Gundam. As a marquis, Nas felt that Lin Chen's behavior had offended him.

Seeing Lin Chen being squeezed out by Lolage with a few words, making the relationship more and more rigid, Xia Lu was anxious in her heart, and wanted to open her mouth several times, but didn't know what to say. Lolage's eloquence, and his Her pharmacists are as talented, and they are all well-known in the empire.

"My friend, if you have time, you should work hard. Your current strength is only a trainee swordsman, and you don't even have a junior professional title. As a commoner, if you want to get ahead, you have to work hard. Don't always think about it. Shortcuts, you should take it when you see it." Seeing that the time was almost up, Lolage pushed the box containing gold coins on the table to Lin Chen, and said with a sneer.

This was a heavy slap in the face. What Lolage meant was obvious. You are just a commoner. Don't expect to climb up by relying on Xia Lu, a big tree. If you see it, just take the gold coins and get out.

"Bang!!!", when did I suffer such humiliation?Lin Chen finally couldn't help but slapped the table, his face was flushed, and seeing Lin Chen's appearance, Yates, who was simmering with anger beside him, was also secretly preparing, as long as he fell out, he would be regarded as an emperor. China also has to make a move.

"That's right! You'd better take the gold coins and leave. Master Lolage is not only the son of the prime minister, but also a core member of the Pharmacist Guild. He has reached the level of an elite pharmacist at a young age." Seeing Lin Chen about to explode Look, an attendant next to him stepped forward and said, revealing Lolage's identity, wanting Lin Chen to retreat in spite of difficulties.

"Presumptuous! How can the Marquis's Mansion allow you to act wild!?" Seeing that Lin Chen dared to slap the table in front of him, Nas finally found a chance to get angry, and said angrily, the person who slapped the table in front of him is still Really not many.

Following the Marquis' angry words, several guards rushed in and were about to attack...

"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to start, Lolage asked the guards to stop, then picked up the box containing gold coins on the dining table, brought it to Lin Chen, and said, "No matter what, this friend also Miss Xia Lu, but what you did made my uncle angry, you should take these gold coins and leave, as a commoner, you should have never seen so many gold coins in your life, right?"

"Bang..." While speaking, Lolage let go of his hand on purpose, the box fell to the ground, and hundreds of gold coins fell on the ground. Lolager looked distressed again, and said, "Sorry, I didn't hold it securely just now." , you can pick up these gold coins yourself, otherwise, you won’t get anything..."

Looking at Lin Chen with a half-smile, Lolage waited for Lin Chen to bend down to pick up these gold coins. He is just a commoner. Can he really resist the temptation of these gold coins?Rorag doesn't believe it.

In his heart, the reason why Lin Chen refused the gold coins was because he had greater ambitions and wanted to use Xia Lu's relationship to climb higher. Now that things are getting stalemate, Lin Chen should pick up the gold coins and leave in despair. .

"Report your lord! Commander Taylor of the Galewind Mercenary Corps is asking to see you," at this moment, suddenly a servant rushed in to report.

"Commander Taylor? Why is he here?" Hearing the notification, Nas was slightly taken aback, not understanding why the commander of the Gale Mercenary Corps had come, but he was one of the four major mercenary regiments after all. Si nodded and asked for Commander Taylor to come in.

"Shua!!!", at the headquarters of the Pharmacists Guild, a man hurried up to Elder Mocha, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Report to the elder, Lin Chen's relationship with the Marquis Mansion is deadlocked."

Briefly told what happened in the Marquis's Mansion, which stunned Elder Mocha who was refining the magic potion according to Lin Chen's instructions, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Quickly tell Luo Pa to go to the Marquis's Mansion, and let him go to the Marquis's Mansion." Lin Chen must be invited here, this is an opportunity, and he should choose to join the Pharmacist Guild after being humiliated."

Speaking of this, Elder Mocha looked impatient, hurriedly put down the magic potion he was refining, and walked out first: "Forget it! I'll go in person! Let's go!".
