The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!
Chapter 1851 - 511: The First Person to Sacrifice for ScienceIn the drawing room of Colin Manor, the thin morning light poured through the window, illuminating the cashmere carpet, and the air was filled with the scent of citrus.
Sitting on the edge of the velvet sofa, Professor Keynes in his morning robe held his spine straight, striving to overcome his uncomfortable restraint.
His gaze awkwardly surveyed the luxurious drawing room, unsure of where to settle his eyes so as not to appear discourteous.
Like Professor Hector, what he was least adept at was socializing with people, especially those of noble status.
These cunning nobles were unlike his students, not only were they difficult to grasp, but they wouldn't easily reveal their emotions.
Keynes discreetly glanced at the maid standing at the corner, his eyes landing on the top of her head, constantly reflecting on the benefits of youth.
Indeed, when it comes to enjoyment, it's the worldly nobles who understand better. The answering experts of the Academic State still lack depth.
Who would have thought that dirty animal ears plus a maid outfit could produce such a wondrous magic reaction, why hadn't he thought of this when he was young?
Thinking about meeting a prince who was such a tasteful and elegant person, Professor Keynes couldn't help but feel a little more anticipation for the coming meeting.
The foundation of the Colin family directly determined what price his skills could sell for!
However, this professor from the Academic State was unaware that the Campbell nobles actually didn't employ Demons as servants; they still preferred servants who had been loyal to the family for generations, and were reluctant to use even those Campbell people of unknown origins.
Hiring these "marginal groups" was entirely a matter of Prince Colin's taste. After all, he himself was a Temple Orphan, skilled at uniting these marginal people.
As Professor Keynes waited anxiously, steady footsteps echoed from the distant corridor.
His right hand instinctively tightened around the worn-out top hat pressed to his chest, rising from the edge of the sofa.
At the same moment, a gentle voice floated in from the corridor entrance.
"Professor Keynes, sorry to keep you waiting. I was handling family matters which took some time, I ask for your understanding."
The newcomer was a charming young man, whose face was as handsome as the rumors claimed. His deep purple hair exceeded in nobility everything in the luxurious drawing room, even the proud Professor Keynes felt a bit of shame, this gentleman was indeed more handsome than himself.
Of course, his tension wasn't entirely due to Prince Colin's handsomeness, but mostly because of his own embarrassing situation.
Professor Keynes forced a gentlemanly smile on his face and performed an Imperial Nobles courtesy.
"It's nothing, Your Highness, it was my presumptuous visit... I hope my abruptness hasn't disturbed your morning."
"You're too kind, Professor Keynes, the wind of knowledge you bring will only bring glory to my manor."
Seeing the uneasy Professor Keynes, Luo Yan nodded a return salute, smiling as he gestured for him to sit.
"Please, have a seat."
The two sat on the sofa.
The maid waiting at the side stepped forward to pour tea for Prince Colin, as well as refilled Professor Keynes' cup.
The tranquil aroma of tea filled the drawing room, mixing with the citrus fragrance, refreshing the senses.
Seeing Professor Keynes' face relax a little, Luo Yan started the conversation.
"I once studied in the Academic State for a while, I've heard rumors about you, it seems... you've just returned from a long exploration?"
This sentence seemed to touch a sore spot for Keynes, his face showing a smile uglier than crying.
"Long... Your Highness, it was too long."
Luo Yan picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.
"Could you tell me briefly?"
Keynes nodded, not hiding anything.
"I delved my consciousness into the Void Realm, but the Solipsi people there were too ignorant to sense my presence. I was like an insect lost in a sea of flowers that did not belong to me... It took a long time before I found an exit."
"Then you interacted with them?"
"No, Your Highness, to be precise... I became them."
Seeing Prince Colin's surprised expression, Keynes paused for a moment, then continued.
"It may be hard to believe, but I might have experienced several reincarnations in that world."
"...Reincarnations?"
"Yes," Keynes nodded, a complex expression on his face, "and with identities as a Mage, a Sailor, a King's cook and Minister... those memories were like fragmented dreams, sometimes a second felt as long as a year, sometimes a few seconds were a lifetime."
Luo Yan's surprise grew stronger, then that surprise transformed into a look of interest.
This was truly an intriguing clue.
Although he was no longer studying in the Academic State, it didn't prevent him from feeling curious about "his children."
He put down the teacup and asked.
"A Mage and Sailor, a cook and Minister... do you know these people in reality?"
Keynes was stunned for a moment.
"You mean in reality?"
"Of course."
Seeing the prince's eyes full of curiosity, Keynes seriously pondered for a while, then nodded and said.
"Yes, Your Highness... my father is a Sailor, cooks are everywhere, I know quite a few skilled bosses on Artisan Street outside Tower of Great Sage. As for a King and a Minister... I did occasionally meet them during my peak. Rhode Kingdom and the Academic State have close exchanges, we sometimes associate with their nobles."
