Chapter 43: Mala's Idea

  Lin Feng made a great effort to suppress the turmoil in his heart and quietly sized up the study in front of him.

  In short, the Marquis's study can be described in two words: luxurious.

  Elegant yet simple, not like some nouveau riche who decorate their study in a flashy and luxurious way, but instead it looks particularly exquisite. The classic elegance also reveals a sense of freshness, giving Lin Feng an overall feeling of serenity.

  He took a deep breath and walked over to a long wooden chair behind the desk in the room.

  He sat down gently, stroking the long chair under his buttocks. Lin Feng could see that this long wooden chair was made of high-quality red sandalwood, which is extremely hard in itself, even harder than marble. However, it has a fatal flaw - it is very easy to catch fire.

  As long as there is a little spark on it, this chair will burst into flames in an instant, and it will not stop until it is completely burned out. Even if it is soaked in a water tank, it cannot extinguish the flame on its body. This extremely special red sandalwood is also an extremely precious alchemy material. If Lin Feng had not read some alchemy books before, he would not have recognized the material of this chair.

  Sitting on a red sandalwood chair has one advantage - it's good for your health!

  A nobleman as elegant as Marquis de Carabas, by simply sitting quietly in a red lacquer chair for one quarter of an hour every day, can bring great benefits to his body.

  The back of this red sandalwood chair is carved with extremely delicate floral patterns, which are simple yet reveal a sense of grandeur. Even if Lin Feng didn't understand anything about carving, he could still tell that the patterns must have been created by a master craftsman. After all, it's not something that an ordinary carver can do to carve such delicate patterns on hard red sandalwood.

  In addition, in order to make this Red Ember Chair fireproof, three top-grade white gemstones are inlaid at the top of the chair and at the ends of the two armrests. These gemstones are called "Isolation Stones" and also belong to precious alchemy materials. However, these materials are consumable, and their function is to isolate. With three Isolation Stones inlaid on the chair, a layer of isolation can be covered on the surface of the Red Ember Chair. As time passes, the Isolation Stones will slowly consume, and it takes about three months to completely consume one Isolation Stone. Then, only new Isolation Stones can be replaced.

  Lin Feng had once heard Old Karl say that the price of a single isolation stone was equivalent to two hundred gold coins, which was extremely extravagant. The red carved wooden chair with intricate patterns on it would cost at least five thousand gold coins. This one chair alone could be worth more than what an ordinary commoner could earn in their lifetime. Even the isolation stones on the chair were not something that ordinary people could afford to use.

  But the marquis, however, spent so much gold coins just for this chair that can support Yuan, Lin Feng felt a sense of admiration for the marquis' wealth at the same time, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.

  His own mother was almost forced to sell herself in a brothel so that he could have something to eat, while his father's study had a chair worth more than the lifetime wealth of an ordinary commoner!

  There is such a wealthy and powerful father, but he has never asked himself or his own mother a single sentence, not even the most basic greeting!

  Looking at the red sandalwood chair under his buttocks, Lin Feng couldn't help but have an evil thought...

  Mom's, I have to get something out of you anyway?

  Lin Feng took out a dagger from the spatial ring and glanced at the isolation stone on the top of the chair, but shook his head. After a moment's thought, he raised the dagger and struck at the isolation stones on both sides of the armrest...

  The one on top is too obvious, even if it's removed, people will notice at a glance, and the isolation stone next to the armrest became Lin Feng's target...

  ……

  At this moment, in Paul's dormitory at Linfeng Fourth Middle School.

  "What? What's your solution? Speak quickly!"

  As soon as Bill heard Mali's voice, he came to his front and said anxiously. Alfa also had a joyful look in her eyes, sat down beside Mali, and urged: "Mali, what do you have in mind, say it quickly!"

  "I, I..."

  Mali was startled by the two people's movements and stuttered: "I, we, are, can we go find Principal-sama?"

  "Looking for Dean? What's he looking for?" Bill frowned, gazing at Mali with suspicion.

  Poor Mali had never been so focused on since birth, he glanced at the two of them and saw that they were both staring at him, and couldn't help but lower his head: "A heavenly talent like Lin Feng will definitely get the attention of the principal, if we tell the principal about Lin Feng's disappearance, he'll definitely help us find Lin Feng..."

  Perhaps being stared at by the two of them made her a bit nervous, poor Mali's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, her head hung even lower, and even speaking became somewhat clumsy.

  "No way!" Bill shook his head: "What is the principal's identity? How can he agree to see us three? Even if he sees us three, can you guarantee that he will definitely help us? Even if Lin Feng is a genius, can you guarantee that the principal will offend a marquis for Lin Feng?"

  "Got it! Mali, you're a genius! Haha!"

  Alfa, on the contrary, suddenly burst out laughing, his face filled with excitement, and even excitedly hugged Mali tightly, before exclaiming: "We can get to the principal through Miss Annie! If Miss Annie personally persuades the principal, then the principal will definitely help us!"

  "Alfa, have you gone mad?" Bill frowned: "You also know the relationship between Miss Annie and Lin Feng. Not only did Lin Feng defeat her, but he also snatched away her genius hat. Now she probably hates Lin Feng so much that she can't even help us."

  "Haha, Bill, you just don't get it." Alfa was in a great mood: "You don't know Miss Annie's temper, okay, okay, no more talk, now you quickly go with me to find Miss Annie, Mali doesn't need to go, you first stay in the dorm and help Lin Feng take care of his luggage..."

  Before Bill could react, Alpha pulled him up and rushed out of the house quickly, leaving only Mali alone on the bed, holding a bundle full of gold coins, staring blankly outside, seemingly still in a daze...

  But in his eyes, a hint of confusion floated up, and he muttered strangely: "Alfa...he said I'm a genius?"

  Subconsciously, Mali tightened her arms around the bundle in her bosom, withdrew her bewildered gaze, and stared blankly at the bundle for a while. A hint of determination finally floated up in her eyes...

  ……

  In the study of the Marquis's mansion, Lin Feng finally felt a sense of balance in his heart after removing the two isolation stones. He held a dagger in his hand, but his eyes were searching around, as if sizing up what other valuable trinkets were left in the study. Just then...

  Knock knock——

  Suddenly, a knock at the door was heard outside, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously put the dagger into the spatial ring.
