Chapter 612: Rich Lady, Hungry

Sasha Capesh was busy with official matters.

She was definitely not a lazy person. In the past, to catch up with Liliana and to cope with the immense psychological pressure she brought, Sasha had to constantly work hard, gradually accumulating her efforts. She left many people behind at a young age, relying on not just talent but also hard work.

She got everything she deserved.

She enjoyed spending more time with her mentor.

This may also be a privilege that the initial group of people could have, later ones often have to remain in the position of students, not daring to go beyond.

However, work is never-ending, even the longest life will fall into a period of weariness.

"Ah…" She dropped the pen from her hand, finished the last stroke, looked at the sunlight outside the window, lazily leaned on the table, and twisted her waist.

Why make a 500-year-old elderly person work overtime like this, it’s truly unreasonable.

She wanted a trustworthy assistant, but due to lifespan reasons, the previous secretary had to be replaced in less than ten years.

She could only hope for Alena to grow up quickly, and then take over her position, the problem that troubled her was that Alena’s willingness was slowly fading, she seemed to have some other pursuits, just like her mother years ago.

Educational issues are always important, Sasha has no experience, and no energy to focus on Alena, she can only occasionally remind her a few times, but these faint reminders don’t have any effect, they are just like ripples caused by a dragonfly touching the water.

This child is as stubborn as her mother, it’s fine if she can grasp happiness, but what if she can’t hold onto it?

She would end up in a bad situation.

Stubbornness, oh, this darn stubbornness.

Sasha was a bit distracted, starting to subconsciously recall some recent events, even though it had been quite some time, some things had happened.

She handled the internal affairs of the bloodline simply, then saw the report submitted by Judy, learning that she changed her last name to Huaiert.

Huaiert is a special last name.

Similarly, it is also a common last name.

There are many and varied surnames in Europa, maybe because they won a battle on the battlefield holding a wooden shield, they added the suffix of oak shield to their name; or they directly added the surname of their father’s mother, accumulating continuously, stacking up to nearly a hundred characters in the end.

Just like how people from Yingzhou use place names as surnames, choosing surnames like ‘XX Temple’, ‘XX Court’, ‘Inoue’, ‘Murashita’, ‘Tanaka’, Europa is quite similar. Therefore, the last name Huaiert is found throughout Europa and doesn’t exclusively belong to the royal family.

The Golden Clan’s identities are not anchored by last names, but by the unique Golden bloodline, which is clear at a glance, no one can impersonate it.

Liliana also uses the last name Huaiert, which is the last name of the mentor, and in later generations, there are admirers who change their last name to Huaiert.

Judy wrote on her surname change application that she chose the surname ‘Huaiert’ because the person who taught her magic gave her this surname… she was very honest, not pretending there was no one behind her.

Sasha approved this application without asking too many questions. There is a fundamental difference between Hellfire Engraving and the Golden Engraving. The reason the former is partially lost is because hellfire is too difficult to obtain, and there are risks in practicing it. But from Judy’s appearance, it seems she can control it. As for the Small Dimensional Slash, even Sasha knows it, the claim of being lost is an external statement because it is too difficult, so no one has mastered it.

In fact, most of the mentor’s techniques have not been lost. For legendary or Holy Domain Mages, reverse engineering and reproducing these techniques are very simple tasks, but they rarely teach them to their juniors because there are better and safer options available. Many of these techniques have become outdated, the cost of learning is too high, not worth investing a lot of energy into. In the eyes of today’s mages, these techniques are considered low cost-effective.

So gradually obsolete by the times.

Not everyone is willing to study advanced mathematics, especially when you can obtain a graduation certificate and degree without needing to learn it.

Sasha didn’t doubt too much about this.

If she could focus all her energy in this area, perhaps she could sense some unusual implications.

Unfortunately, she simply didn’t have the leisure to study, work, work, and work, with piles of work.

The sea routes opened, trade began to flow frequently, and the port was about to enter a two-month period of overload.

After working intensively, there was finally a moment for a breath today.

"It’s a hard life," Sasha chuckled at herself, "No wonder Liliana is afraid I’ll work myself to death."

She stood up from her chair, walked to the window, opened the French window, took a deep breath, and adjusted her mood.

Suddenly, she felt a tapping sensation on her shoulder.

…Here it comes again.

Sasha’s body trembled slightly as she looked back, "What’s going on now?"

She was not very patient, "Are you here to pick a fight?"

Looking at the young man in front of her, she felt a strange mix of emotions. She didn’t dislike him, in fact, she even subconsciously admired and felt close to him. But she found this emotional response peculiar and wanted to quickly erase it.

She studied the young man’s face, trying to find some familiarity, but couldn’t. Even by her standards, he appeared ordinary, lacking in handsomeness, stature, and charisma…just not up to par.

Oddly enough, there was a strange sense of closeness that suddenly emerged.

Several times, she realized that she was unconsciously letting down her guard in conversations, which was very abnormal.

She even suspected if the other person possessed some special mystery that quickly made people trust and like him.

Unable to confirm this, she wore a legendary accessory to resist enchantment, capable of resisting the sirens’ voices in the abyss.

However, it still didn’t work.

It didn’t work at all!

Sasha’s expression became very unnatural, she turned aside and tried to physically tap her earring several times, attempting to make it function properly again, just like fixing an old TV set, but it had no effect. The earring-shaped accessory swayed lazily, looking like a big orange lying on the ground, completely motionless.

Bai Wei also noticed Sasha’s strange behavior, misunderstood, and complimented. Sasha, you look especially beautiful today, especially that earring, it suits you very well.

Blood Noble glared angrily, "Do I need your compliments on my beauty? Mind your own business… and don’t call me by my name! I’ve emphasized it many times!"

Bai Wei slowly raised an eyebrow, "?"

…Why is her attitude so bad? I remember she shouldn’t be a relative recently.

Sasha took a deep breath, adjusted her mood. If the accessories didn’t work, either this mystery was of extremely high level, reaching the level of ancient curses, or she was mentally unbalanced, reacting too much.

"What’s the matter, speak up." Blood Noble said coldly, "Do I have time to spend a leisurely holiday after busy work these two days? I don’t want to waste precious time here."

"This place is not bad, the scenery is nice, and no one disturbs."

"Get to the point." Sasha bent her wrist, "Otherwise, why not accompany me to release some accumulated stress, I really enjoy fighting with people."

Bai Wei raised his hands in a French salute, "I won’t come looking for trouble for no reason…"

"Huh, a man who cried three times in a day because of me still has the face to say that."

"I didn’t cry." Bai Wei thought, ‘You cried more when I beat you up as a child.’

"So, what’s up?" Blood Noble said in a cold tone. "Need my help? Or looking for information, or something else? I can help you, but not for free. You better not treat me as a free worker or…"

"I’m here to borrow some money from you," Bai Wei honestly stated his need.

Sasha was stunned.

"Also, a place to stay and a safe haven."

Sasha tilted her head.

"Please, this is really important to me!" Bai Wei clasped his hands together and bowed, pleading, "Rich lady, please!"

"Are you crazy? Coming to me for money? Are we even close?" Sasha blurted out.

"We are close!" Bai Wei said earnestly. "And you must be rich, right?"

"Of course I’m rich, but what’s that got to do with you?" Sasha said coldly. "Aren’t you a member of the Black Rose? Don’t you even have funds for activities?"

"Since the Ming Country doesn’t have their own currency, I thought you might have some." Bai Wei raised his hands. "Please, lend me some money… and also the keys to the house! I’m probably going to be wanted in the Ming Country, with nowhere to go, I need a safe place to hide."

Sasha raised an eyebrow. "Wanted? What did you do?"

"I did a great favor for the country and the people!" Bai Wei stood tall proudly.

Sasha thought to herself, "Yeah right, wanted for doing a favor!"

"Hmm."

"What kind of favor is this? Did you insult a prime minister?"

"No no no, don’t say things like that, it’s not related to my disagreement with Yasuo." Bai Wei denied immediately.

"So, why ask me for help when you have problems? Why not ask someone closer to you?" Sasha smirked. "Do I look like an easy target to you?"

"Yes." Bai Wei nodded.

"Are you blind?" Blood Noble roared angrily.

Bai Wei was deeply shocked, "… You actually scolded me."

"I not only want to scold you, but also want to beat you!" Sasha brandished a bloodied spear, "You brat, if I don’t give you a good beating today, I’m not surnamed with you!"
