The Genius Mage

Chapter 222: Walp

“What did he tell you? Does he want me to come over today, or does he want me to come over?” Dempsey decided to confirm his tone.

Henry averted his gaze, looking a little guilty. “Yes… he said he wants you to come over.”

When he had received the decree, he had felt that what Dempsey had said was too harsh. If Dempsey had heard it, he would have been angry. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, therefore, he took the initiative to make the overdue date more tactful.

He did not expect that senior Dempsey actually knew Walp like the back of his hand. Even if he secretly altered his words, senior Dempsey would still be able to find out.

Dempsey directly sneered, “I knew that disgusting guy would never be so polite to me. He really treats me like a tool, right? He’s always ready to be called.”

Although he said that, his body was very honest as he stood up and began to pack his things.

Audrey quietly listened to their conversation. After such a conversation, she seemed to have guessed something.

Dempsey seemed to have a very bad relationship with the City Lord Walp, but the biggest problem was that although their relationship was very bad, and Dempsey hated Walp, it was obvious that the other party had something on him.

Otherwise, based on the stubborn character Dempsey had displayed, it was impossible for him to compromise no matter what.

Dempsey had already packed his things, and his face was filled with annoyance. He looked at Audrey, and naturally, he was not in a good mood.

“Since you’ve just arrived, then come with me. Let me see just what kind of strength you have.”

Audrey nodded in agreement and followed the two of them out of the house.

She could feel the pretty boy’s gaze on her, as though he was very interested in her.

However, when she looked over, Henry had already averted his gaze, pretending as though nothing had happened. It was as though he was trying to cover his ears.

Audrey smiled. She thought that she might not have had much interaction with this boy during this period of time. However, she did not expect that he would speak to her first when they were riding in the carriage.

“Um, I still don’t know your name.” The delicate-looking youth raised his hand and looked at his fluffy hair with a face full of embarrassment.

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Henry. I’m Senior Dempsey’s disciple.” What Henry did not realize was that his voice had unconsciously softened a lot.

Perhaps it was because the girl in front of him looked too noble and fragile, just like the rose in the greenhouse. No matter what he did, he had to take care of her carefully.

“I’m Audrey. Nice to meet you.” Audrey smiled with her eyes curved. She exuded a harmless aura.

Henry felt even more embarrassed after seeing such a smile. He hurriedly averted his gaze.

“Well, actually, when I first saw you, I wanted to say that you’re really beautiful.” Henry’s ears were a little hot. He raised his hand and rubbed his ears, trying to lower the temperature.

“Thank you,” Audrey said politely.

“But from the looks of it, you don’t seem to be a local. Could it be that you’re from somewhere else?” Henry asked curiously.

After all, their place was near the sea, and there was plenty of sunlight, so people’s skin was a little rough. It had been blown into this state by the sea breeze.

A girl like Audrey, who was fair and tender, with delicate features, could be said to be a very rare existence in their place.

Audrey was somewhat at a loss. She had never expected that she would be noticed so quickly. Could it be that she was dressed differently from the locals?

She looked at her clothes suspiciously and did not seem to notice anything strange. Then, she heard Dempsey’s voice.

“No, no, no, I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to say that you’re too beautiful. At a glance, you don’t look like a person that can be raised in a place like ours,” Henry hurriedly explained.

So that’s how it is. Audrey subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She had thought that she would be exposed if she stayed here for too long.

“Actually, I came from the town next door. Due to some special reasons, I don’t want to say too much here. After all, it involves my privacy.” Audrey tried her best to sound very gentle.

The simple-looking boy in front of her did not suspect anything. Instead, he spoke with a sudden realization, “So that’s how it is. I knew it. You don’t look like someone from our town. A place like ours can’t raise a beauty like you.”

Audrey smiled and averted her gaze in embarrassment. She changed the topic. “Do you know what we’re going to do today?”

“To find Lord Walp.” When those two words were mentioned, Henry’s tone was clearly filled with disgust. “He’s really too troublesome. It’s one thing for him to do many evil deeds, but now he wants to make things difficult for my master.”
