Chapter 234 The King of Connections among Bookstores in Vientiane (First Update)

"Okay, mentor."

Ian, Remi, and Vera nodded in unison.

Steve, who was next to him, also had a smile on his face after hearing Lockhart's praise.

Later, Steve promised: "Lockhart, don't worry, Ian, Remy, and Vera are all good prospects."

"With their efforts, the level of melee combat will definitely improve quickly."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction, then stretched out his wand and tapped it gently in the air.

A light yellow ball of information light appeared at the tip of the wand.

At the same time, Lockhart introduced: "Captain, this is some specific information I collected and gathered. I will leave the subsequent actual combat training to you."

"You can choose the corresponding mission target based on their conditions."

Well, these are naturally obtained from Sitwell of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now that he has planted a nail in S.H.I.E.L.D., wouldn't it be a pity not to play a role?

It just so happened that Sitwell was the head of the intelligence department. It would be a bit stupid not to take advantage of this opportunity to collect more intelligence.

With his thoughts turning, Lockhart flicked his wand gently, and the pale yellow ball of light flew towards Steve.

Seeing this, Steve said solemnly: "Okay, Lockhart."

He has no objection to letting students conduct practical training.

In his day, you would have to train in the army for a few years before going to the battlefield.

Therefore, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime.

Especially when it comes to evil organizations like the Hand, Steve will not show mercy.

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded slightly.

Then, he said to Steve: "Captain, I'm discussing something with Vera. It won't take long, please excuse me."

This time, he had two main purposes.

The first purpose is to see how Steve teaches Ian and the others.

Lockhart basically saw the whole process just now.

I have to say that top teachers all have one thing in common - they know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Steve not only has experience in this area, but also pays great attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, searching for, exploring, and forming a fighting style that suits them.

Lockhart was very relieved to hear this today.

The second purpose is, of course, to discuss the Wanxiang Bookstore with Vera.

Lockhart originally arranged for Vera, Ian, and Remy to take turns taking care of the bookstore.

It turned out that Ian was fine, but Remy was a bit out-of-touch. He was always a little restless when he was asked to take care of her, and even something happened sometimes.

As for Vera, perhaps due to his female advantage, he has a softer temperament, or is more patient.

Moreover, she came to take care of Wanxiang Shuca, and basically handled it in an orderly manner. So far, there have been no problems, and her usual practice has not fallen behind.

More importantly, Lockhart discovered that Vera's ability to make friends was not weak, and she did not dare to be called a social butterfly.

However, most of the magicians of Kama Taj are willing to become friends with Vera. Casillas even praised Vera personally when he came.

It can even be said that compared to Lockhart, Vera had a better time in Karma Taj.

Well, although the male mage admires Vera's exquisite appearance, the female mage also has a good impression of Vera's gentle and firm personality.

But there is nothing wrong with saying that Vera is the king of bookstore connections in all things.

Seeing this situation, Lockhart simply let Villa Yao continue to be in charge of Wanxiang Book Cafe and give full play to her advantages.

Of course, she was also worried about affecting her magic practice, so she usually increased the supply of resources.

Overall, Vera's magic practice speed has increased instead of falling, and she is even somewhat comfortable in managing all the book cafes.

Even Ms. Carter praised Vera for her talent in management and asked Lockhart to train Vera in this aspect.

Therefore, Lockhart usually discussed matters with Vera about the Wanxiang Book Club.

After hearing Lockhart's request, Steve nodded slightly to Vera with his brows and said nothing more.

He has always been a person with strict self-discipline. Although he was slightly unhappy about being separated from training in the middle, he would not say much.

What's more, this is Lockhart looking for his own student.

After Vera saw it, she politely said hello to her instructor Steve and walked towards her instructor.

Seeing this, Lockhart stretched out his wand and drew a slight circle in mid-air.

A portal opened, leading Vera into his study.

It is now night, and the silvery white moonlight shines through the glass into Lockhart's desk, illuminating the books, notebooks, and cups on the desk.

At the same time, the slight chirping of cicadas sounded, making the night even quieter.

Suddenly, a portal with sparks opened.

At the same time, the entire study seemed to sense the return of the owner, and bright lights quietly appeared, illuminating the entire study.

The next moment, Lockhart took Vera into the study.

"Vera, sit down!"

Lockhart stood in front of the desk, pointed to the seat opposite, and extended his hand to indicate to Vera.

"Okay, mentor." Vera nodded gently and sat opposite Lockhart.

"Vera, I want some coffee, tea or honey."

"Teacher, just tea."

After Lockhart heard this, he stretched out his wand and pointed lightly at the cup opposite. The tea rose upwards, reached 3/4 of the way, and then stopped.

At the same time, the same tea appeared in front of Lockhart.

Vera was not surprised by this. She held the water glass in both hands and took a sip of tea.

Lockhart did not go straight to the topic. Instead, he asked with concern: "How was your recent class with Instructor Steve and Ms. Carter?"

"Instructor Steve is very experienced and very patient with us." Vera thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Although Ms. Carter is a bit strict, she also takes good care of me and tells me a lot about management. The experience was very helpful to me.”

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded slightly.

Of course he would not just ignore the teacher he hired.

Occasionally, he would drink tea in private and communicate about the students' performance.

In general, the three of them have different personalities. Although Remy is a bit impatient, he corrects his mistakes when he knows they are wrong. Ian is very calm and very thorough and rigorous in doing things.

Vera seems to have a gentle personality, but she is very determined and can always stick to what she wants to do.

It can be said that all three of them are very good.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Lockhart returned to the topic: "Vera, you have always been in charge of the Wanxiang Book Club. Let's talk about the current situation."

As his own student, he will naturally not hide the problems he may face. Instead, he will speak openly and directly to facilitate subsequent management and communication.

Regarding his mentor's question, Vera paused, as if thinking about something, and then slowly said after a moment: "Teacher, as you said, the hostile mage from Kama Taj's side should have taken action."

"In recent times, the number of mages visiting Wanxiang Book Cafe has decreased significantly."

PS: Sorry, the timing is wrong.
