Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

"So this is the entire Rune Stigmata Alchemy Society?"

Linde's face showed a rare expression of surprise, and the degree of exaggeration was almost the same as when he saw that Reina had intelligence.

"Yes, I reminded you at the beginning that the Fu Sheng Society was in internal chaos due to the death of the previous president."

The proprietress of the Shuojin Merchant Alliance, who had not been seen for a long time, was still smoking from her exquisite pipe.

That being said, Lind still felt something magical when he saw the girl in front of him.

An alchemy association with dozens of people ended up with only a little girl left.

The girl had an ugly scar on her face, as if she had been scratched by someone. She wore very thick glasses and followed the proprietress timidly.

"Originally, there were still some people in the Fu Sheng Society."

In the lord's tent, the proprietress of the Shining Gold Merchant Alliance explained to Lind while puffing away.

"However, since the Fu Sheng Society was unable to make ends meet after the death of the old president, some people sold all of the Fu Sheng Society's belongings and cooperated with the nobles to rob all of the Fu Sheng Society's property and ran away. Now the Fu Sheng Society only has the old president's daughter left."

It can be seen that the proprietress is a heavy smoker, but this time it seems that she used some herbal medicine to make the second-hand smoke in the big tent have little smell and not so choking.

"If you hadn't paid three times the deposit, to be honest, we would have refunded you directly."

After hesitating for a while, the proprietress continued to say to Lind: "Considering that you have done a lot of business with us recently, you can be considered a high-quality customer. I would like to remind you, or introduce you to the last person of the Fu Sheng Society: Lisha Derek."

After saying that, the proprietress pushed the girl behind her in front of Lind.

"A first-level rune master, an alchemist apprentice, basically has no way to mobilize magic power on his own. This is also the final research success of the Rune Saint Society."

"Final research results?"

Linde looked at Lisha in confusion, and as usual, he stood up and walked around Lisha, as if he was trying to find out if there was anything special about her.

“I don’t know the details, but old Derek, the former president of the Holy Talisman Society, spent all the savings of the earldom just to allow Lisha, an ordinary person, to use magic. Judging from the results, it should have failed. Even Lisha’s magic disease was not cured in the end.”

From the perspective of traditional mages, the Order of the Holy Runes was indeed a failure. In this era when nobles could exploit commoners without any bottom line, the financial resources of an entire earldom could only provide a first-level rune master and a half-baked alchemy apprentice. This was meaningless to those mages. Even mages who could buy large tracts of land with a staff thought it was a huge waste.

From old Derek's perspective, the Order of the Holy Talisman also failed. He founded the Order to cure his daughter Lisha's magic disease, but in the end it failed to cure it.

The full name of magic disease is magic mobilization imbalance, which means that although a person is born with the ability to absorb and store magic like a magician, he cannot perceive magic or mobilize it. In the end, he either becomes a human battery in the magic tower or is suffocated to death by the magic in his body.

"What a poor kid."

Reina looked at Lisha with heartache. Actually, Reina didn't quite understand what the proprietress said before, but she understood that Lisha lost her father just like her. But Reina at least had a grandfather who loved her, but Lisha's family property was robbed by other people from the Fu Sheng Society.

"Brother, let's take this child. It's just to find another first-level rune master craftsman for the territory."

Linde nodded, agreeing to Reina's suggestion, and paid the balance to the proprietress, and paid the full amount according to the contract.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Although Lind's behavior seemed like that of a sucker, the proprietress still demonstrated her professionalism and had the same business smile on her face.

After that, Linde and the proprietress ordered some alchemical materials and basic books, and then watched the convoy of the Sparkling Gold Merchant Alliance leave Gray and White Collar.

In fact, even if Reina didn't say it, Linde would continue to fulfill the contract and buy Lisha.

From the perspective of both traditional mages and Lisha's father, the research of the Talisman Society had failed, but it was different for Linde.

Turning a person who cannot perceive or mobilize magic power into a first-level rune master and alchemy apprentice is not something that can be evaluated by a simple career rating, but a process from scratch that allows ordinary people to use magic. As long as this kind of research can make a little progress, Lind believes that any amount of investment is worth it, not to mention that now a research result is standing right in front of him.

After the proprietress of the Shining Gold Merchant Alliance left, Lisha was obviously very nervous. Just as Lena said, Lisha also thought that she would be just a very ordinary first-level rune craftsman in the territory in the future.

At most, due to the kindness of the lord's wife, she could live a little better than an ordinary craftsman, but even so, Lisha was very satisfied.

Looking at the helpless Lisha, Linde remembered the autistic students sitting in the back row of his class in his previous life. They were extremely inferior and couldn't play together with the big brothers in the back row or the good students in the front row, but their grades were not bad and they were even very smart.

Thinking of this, Linde did not discuss business matters directly with Lisha like his other subordinates, but called the maid to arrange accommodation for Lisha first.

If you want to get into the hearts of these students and make them talk to you seriously, you must first give them enough private space, or a safe area.

To be honest, Lisha was a little surprised by this arrangement. The house arranged by Linde was better than Lisha had imagined, even much better.

After all, Lisha was assigned to the Rune Craftsman area, and Rune Craftsman can be said to be the best paid profession in the territory at present, with the salary even far exceeding those management positions.

Although Lisha is the daughter of an earl, her father has almost emptied the family savings to treat her illness since she was old enough to understand. The elders in the family are very dissatisfied with the behavior of Lisha's father, and the family began to split.

This made Lisha's childhood unhappy.

People in the family blamed Lisha for almost running out of money for the Derek family.

The people from the Talisman Saint Society also blamed Lisha. They had invested so many resources and done so much research, but Lisha was still unable to mobilize magic power. Those mages who mobilized magic power as easily as eating and drinking could not understand why patients with magic disease had such strong qualifications but were backfired because they could not mobilize magic power.

Lisha tidied the room, placed the photo of her and her father on the bedside table, and then dumped everything in her backpack onto the bed.

It was a pile of research notes, ink, various types of markers, carving knives, and jars of magic stone powder, which were all materials for drawing magic runes.

After arranging these things, Lisha opened the research notebook left by her father.

This is what Lisha has to review every day, because without this notebook and the densely packed formulas on it, Lisha might not even be able to become a first-level rune master.

The notebook was covered with various annotations, most of which were added by Lisha later. Although she felt a little sorry for her deceased father and those who had worked hard on the research, after Lisha recalculated, she found that some key parts of the original content in the notebook were calculated incorrectly.

Lisha felt that apart from her father, no one in the Fu Sheng Society was seriously studying the notebook and that they were all trying to defraud funds. There were so many mistakes in it that Lisha kept making corrections and adding annotations to it.

But Lisha was actually a little unfair to those members. Although there were many people who defrauded funds, there were also some who were really helping old Derek. However, mathematics is really a subject that requires a lot of talent. People may do anything when they are angry, but not mathematics. If they can't do it, they can't do it.
