“You don’t need to call me master—we’re all friends here,” Blackbeard said as he went to pat Su Ye’s shoulder. He could not reach Su Ye, so he firmly patted Su Ye’s forearm, causing his body to sway.

The magnificent body of a magic ox was almost shattered by Blackbeard.

Blackbeard’s eyes flashed and he was extremely happy. He laughed and said, “You look more like a man than Niedern. Good!” After finishing speaking, he clapped his large hands towards Niedern.

The corners of Niedern’s mouth curled up slightly. Rays of light flashed across his ring and a bright yellow magic barrier instantly appeared.

Thump…

Blackbeard swang his hands and muttered in a low voice, “How unmanly! A man is more advanced!” After saying that, he once again reached out his hand towards Su Ye’s shoulder, but he really could not reach it. He could only settle for the second best; he hugged Su Ye’s waist and walked inside.

Su Ye rolled his eyes. Luckily, he knew that the other party was a dwarf. Those who did not would think that he was taking advantage of him. If Blackbeard had gone a little lower, he would have touched his buttocks.

Niedern glanced at Su Ye’s lower back. A smile that he had been planning for a long time flashed across his eyes as he followed behind the two of them.

Su Ye abruptly turned his head and glanced at Niedern, and his gaze fell on the lower part of Niedern’s waist. He looked at Blackbeard’s height and seemed to have compared them. He was deep in thought.

Niedern was a head taller than Su Ye.

In Su Ye’s mind, what first appeared was the part of the dwarf’s body hugging Niedern. Then, he threw a strange smile at Niedern.

Niedern smile froze. In his heart, he cursed himself for being a good student, but he was too smart.

“Sit down, we’re all friends. Where’s the wine?”

Blackbeard leaned against the stone chair, revealing a satisfied expression.

Su Ye and Niedern were also sitting on the stone chair. Niedern swung his right hand, and in a flash of brilliance a half-meter tall wooden barrel appeared on the stone table in front of them.

Blackbeard hurried to open the barrel, but Niedern laid his right hand first on the barrel due to his body’s strength advantage.

“Let’s drink after we finish talk.”

“Let’s talk after we finish drinking.”

“Drink after we talk.”

“Drink First!”

“Talk first…”

Su Ye stared blankly at the two of them quibbling for a full five minutes; they did not give up until their mouths had gone dry from all the talking. These were the two most boring people he had ever seen.

“If you don’t satisfy me, HMPH!” Blackbeard sniffled, his eyes slightly red.

“If you’re not satisfied, you can beat him up.”

The two of them looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye went straight to the point, “I have many good ideas, but I’ll take it one step at a time. The first step is to create a table knife, fork, and spoon. Of course, by spoon I don’t mean a soup ladle, but rather a table spoon.”

“I’m not very satisfied.” Blackbeard stood up.

“Niedern said on the way here that that you were a wise man among the dwarves. I didn’t expect you to be so impatient and be unable to wait for even your works to appear.”

“If something looks like sh*t and smells like sh*t, then there’s no need to taste it. It must be sh*t.” Blackbeard said bluntly.

Su Ye said, “If you can really determine everything accurately, you’re already a deity. Those who can truly find gold in the sand must be the richest or the most prestigious among his peers. I cannot say for certain regarding others, but I can be sure that you are not one of those people. After all, you only have sh*t in your eyes.”

“You’re insulting me!” Blackheard picked up the iron hammer, his eyes like magic lamps.

“You are the one who humiliated yourself with ignorance and arrogance.”

Blackbeard stared at Su Ye.

Niedern looked at Blackbeard and said leisurely, “I advise you, whenever you see Su Ye, you’ll either want to listen to him or smash him to death with a hammer.”

“Why?”

“Today, when I was walking in the academy, I heard that class three gave Su Ye a nickname that resonates perfectly.”

“What nickname?” Blackbeard asked.

“Someone who’s never lost an argument in all of Greece.”

“He’s never lost to you either?” Blackbeard questioned.

“He doesn’t dare quarrel with me,” Niedern said with great vigor.

“Hehe.” Su Ye laughed in confusion.

Blackbeard was silent.

Niedern suddenly said, “What would you think if I told you that Su Ye’s words were also once spoken by Master Plato?”

Blackbeard’s dark face flushed momentarily with the color of wine and said, “Of course I would think it makes sense.”

“Of course, Master Plato hasn’t ever say that,” said Niedern.

Hei Xu seemed to have realized that he had been tricked by Niedern. A fierce light flashed in his eyes and he said, “Sooner or later, I’m going to break the skulls of both you two! Take out your spellbook and draw what you said.”

Su Ye, slightly smiling, put the magic book on the table with confidence. His fingers moved slightly as drew on it the knife, fork, and spoon—three major items in Western dining in the future.

The knife only drew the primary table knife. As for steak knives, butter knives, and fish knives, Su Ye planned to slowly introduce them in the future.

After he finished drawing, Su ye deliberately drew some more small dessert forks and spoons.

“It’s nothing great.” Blackbeard stared at it for a long time. He couldn’t tell what was particularly good, but neither could he tell what was bad.

“Your taste isn’t as good as Kaerton’s,” Su Ye said.

Immediately, Blackbeard looked at Niedern, and Su Ye also looked at him.

Niedern had been staring at the cutlery, staring at it, and staring at it.

Su Ye and Blackbeard gazed at each other blankly, their hairs standing on end.

After a while, Su Ye realized something all of a sudden, but he did not move.

Shoot, he had accidentally revealed something important.

Only then did Niedern slowly raise his head and look at Su Ye. He asked, “This manner of drawing, was it also created by you on the beach outside Lion Harbor?”

Amongst the drawings of this time, there was no projection, no highlights, and no perspective. There weren’t three-value drawings either.

Although Su Ye had only made limited strokes, he was able to draw a few fundamental things in the sketch.

Su Ye immediately asked in surprise, “Yeah? I really liked to watch the movement of shadows in the small dumb harbor there. I tried to imitate it and then succeeded in drawing it. What’s wrong?”

“You are indeed the illegitimate child of the goddess of luck,” Niedern said.

“I can only just draw crudely…”Su ye said indifferently.

“Remember, never draw this kind of painting again. Before you become a gold mage, don’t tell anyone about this, including me and… all of Plato Academy.”

Su Ye and Blackbeard were shocked.

Everyone in Plato Academy naturally included Thucydides and Plato.

Niedern said, “Su Ye, go out and take a short walk. I have something to say to Blackbeard. I’ll call you back in a while.”

Su Ye nodded and walked out.

Niedern held his staff and chanted an incantation. A faint gray light was emitted from the staff and expanded rapidly like a bubble. In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire room.

“A sealing spell? You… What are you doing? Be careful or I’ll break your skull!” Blackbeard purposefully opened his mouth slightly to reveal a mouth full of yellow teeth. He looked menacing.

Niedern stared at Blackbeard. He kept looking, looking, and looking.

Blackbeard’s body was full of fright. He finally threw down his hammer and said, “Tell me. I’ll do my best to answer you. After all, we’ve known each other for so many years; I’m already used to being cheated by you. This might be very serious, count it as ten barrels.”

“Five barrels!” Niedern said.

“Nine barrels!”

“Six barrels!”

“Deal!” Blackbeard laughed happily. It was a rare occurrence to be able to make Niedern agree to more alcohol.
