After Claire followed Merlin, the nobles present were stunned for several seconds. They did not feel any offense to Merlin for ignoring them. It would be strange and rare for him to pay attention to them. What they were curious about was how Claire knew Archmage Merlin, and he looked so familiar.
Everyone's silence was broken by Sophia's laughter, "Hahahaha!"
Sophia laughed heartily and said, "What now? Count Pulan, Prince Albert, I think what you just said makes sense. How about asking His Majesty to revoke Claire's position."
"He is just a 17, 18, oh no, 16-year-old kid. If something happens, I really can't bear the responsibility."
Hearing Sophia's cynicism, the two of them looked as ugly as pig liver and couldn't say a word.
However, Sophia continued to mock, and continued, "I can't afford it, I just don't know Archmage Merlin but I can't afford it."
"Count Pulan, your father Duke Carl is still a student of Archmage Merlin. Didn't he tell you to respect Archmage Merlin? But even his little friends have to question it. If it comes to seniority, do you still want to call Claire uncle? Claire usually calls me sister, so you should call me aunt first."
Sophia smiled extremely proudly and happily. This was the happiest day for her in the past few years.
Before he finished mocking Pu Lan, Sophia turned to Prince Albert again, "I've always felt that you don't know how to assess the situation. That's how a good thing turned into a mess."
"It's the same now. When Count Pulan has any objections to me, I can't help but jump out. Now it's okay. I will report today's matter to His Majesty truthfully. Let's see if His Majesty will protect you or take Archmage Merlin's face into consideration."
Under Sophia's cynicism, both of their faces were burning, and they whispered to the nobles around them, "I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
So he left here dejectedly like a lost dog.
After the two left, the corners of Sophia's upturned mouth had not yet fallen down. He glanced at Count Norton next to him and said, "Thank you very much for coming out at the critical moment."
Norton smiled slightly. He was always happy. He had been silent the whole time Sophia was scolding him. This was the first time he had seen this side of Sophia in so long. Fortunately, he was not the one being scolded.
"Madam, you're welcome. Claire and my youngest son are good friends. It's natural for me to help."
After Claire was taken away by Merlin, he quickly found a deserted corner and sat down.
Edith also came over and sat next to Li and Li, but he couldn't get a word in the conversation.
The knowledge of magic discussed by her grandfather and Claire has exceeded her current level. Except for the knowledge about the astral realm that she has studied for a long time, she can understand it a little bit.
Claire was also very excited, this was a free teacher, so he quickly asked some of his doubts, and at the same time gave a lot of conjectures that he had derived from his previous lives.
Although Merlin was teaching Claire like an elder, there were constant surprises in the process. This kid could always come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas, and they were all very feasible. In addition, he was also very talented in magic. He could draw inferences about many theories after just explaining them once. He looked at Claire with more and more approval in his eyes.
Halfway through the conversation, Merlin suddenly stopped and said, "My friend, that's all for today. I remembered something else."
Claire also swallowed the question he was about to ask, straightened up and sat up, "I've wasted so much of your time, I'll come to bother you when you're free."
"Then let Edith chat with you here. You are similar in age, so you should have a lot of common topics." Merlin said.
Edith, who had already fallen into a daze on the side, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at his grandfather with a look of disbelief, as if asking him what he meant.
Merlin stood up and walked away for a distance, then waved to Edith who was in a daze. Edith also responded and walked over quickly.
As soon as Edith came closer, Merlin put his arms around her shoulders and turned his back to Claire, and began to whisper in a low voice.
Claire looked at the two of them curiously. Although the distance was just that small, you could hear them with a little trick, but the other party was a powerful man at the Dharma Saint level, so Claire didn't dare.
As soon as he got closer, Edith was the first to say anxiously, "Grandpa! How can you let me chat with him alone here?"
"Aren't you friends?"
Edith pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "Although we are friends, I don't have much communication with him." She had only met Claire a few times. Because of the loan of Nether Spirit Lamp, she could be said to be friends, but it was not clear how good the relationship was.
"Then now is the time for you to communicate more." Merlin winked at his granddaughter and said, "Let me tell you, grandpa has a very accurate eye on people. Claire is definitely an outstanding person. He is also very talented in magic. There will definitely be no problem in being promoted to Archmage in the future. It is possible to be promoted to Dharma Saint. You have to grasp it!"
At this time, Edith still didn't understand what his grandfather meant, and his little face suddenly turned red, "Grandpa... how could you do this? He and I are really just ordinary friends. And Princess Irene still likes him, how could I..."
"Look! What did I just say?" Merlin had an expression that was exactly what I expected. "How can a person as good as him not be pursued by anyone? You have to seize the opportunity and seize it."
"Don't worry, it's just Princess Irene. As my granddaughter, you are not bad at all. Work harder and don't let that Princess get ahead of you."
Edith hammered Merlin with his fist, "Bad grandpa, is it because someone rescued you that you feel so good about him! You actually want to introduce me to someone else."
Merlin took it for granted and replied, "Look, you are now sixteen or seventeen years old High Mage. He is already Archmage and can still communicate between planes. Shuttle. If I don't introduce such a good candidate to you, who should I introduce to you? Beck from Karl's family will be good if he can be promoted to Archmage."
Edith made a grimace and resisted feebly. "But I'm only sixteen years old."
"What's wrong with being sixteen? If you round up, you're twenty. Girls from other families have already given birth to children at the age of twenty, and their grandfathers can already have grandchildren. You are considered too slow."
Edith looked helpless when he heard his grandfather's absurd reasoning, and said with a sad face, "You have changed, you are no longer the grandfather who loved me so much."
Regardless of Edith's resistance, Merlin straightened her body after explaining, smiled at Claire, "I'll leave first, and I'll leave my precious granddaughter to you!"
Claire's head tilted: Huh?
"You young people, have a good chat." After Merlin finished speaking, he pushed Edith and ran out. Before leaving, he gave Edith a cheering gesture.
At this point, it would be too rude to leave directly. Edith could only walk back to his place with a look of despair.
After trying hard to smile, he asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
