Throne of Magical Arcana

Under the warm sun near noon, a low-key luxury carriage is slowly moving towards the "Quteng" castle in the core of the noble district in the southwest of Ural city.

Along the way, the pedestrians who saw it, whether they were aristocrats or citizens, all moved to the sides, respectfully let it pass first, because it is a carriage belonging to the Earl of Virt, the lord of the Ural City, and it is not the ordinary three Set of carriages.

In the carriage, Lucian pretended to admire the exotic scenery on the street and looked at the map of the Shahran Empire specially collected in the Soul Library, and concentrated near the Ural city.

The count's invitation came suddenly, and Lucian couldn't find a reason why normal nobles could refuse, so he had to agree to go.This made Lucien feel deeply in her heart. When playing a noble is very good, she is also bound by this identity.

"This invitation should be beyond Kelina and Ivanovsky's expectations, which may destroy their original arrangements, make them unprepared, make a big mistake, and may bring fierce and Dangerous changes, I must prepare early. "

Lucian judged with certainty that the invitation was never a plan by Kyarina and Ivanovsky, because they would never risk letting themselves appear before they controlled themselves or other members of the Vladimir family who had no background. In front of Earl Witt.If the Earl of Witt suddenly took a fancy to himself, and appointed another Witt family girl, their greed and longing would be lost like a bamboo basket.

This judgment is also one of the reasons why Lucien accepted the invitation.

"Could Kalilina and Ivanovsky should strictly control what Count Witt sees and hears? How could there be an invitation they didn't expect?" Lucian thought puzzledly, since she was deliberate Taking advantage of Earl Witt ’s legacy, and Earl Witt is still aging and seriously ill. With the power of Ivanovsky and the degree of Karina ’s favor with him, it should not be difficult to conceal his subordinate knights and knights So that he can only know what they want him to know.

If this is not possible, Lucian can only persuade Ivanovsky to go home and buy the manor, land and mine as landlords, and stop doing such dangerous occupations as smugglers, and stop thinking of snatching them. The legacy of an earl cannot be played with its IQ!

While looking at the map, Lucian casually asked Leo next to him about the scenery around the Ural city, especially if there were any gloomy and often haunted places.

The first thing to do is to plan for the worst.

"Mr. Peter, there are churches, and often haunted places exist only in stories that scare children, or are made by evil magicians who hide in the mountains. But as far as I know, there are a few ores in the west of the Ural city because of It often collapses, there are many dead people, and it is called 'the place where the devil curses', 'the cave that connects to hell' and stop mining. "Come and invite Nicolas, the Earl of Lucien, to hear the conversation between Lucien and Leo, As the representative of the host, I will introduce the guests in detail.

He is a strong knight of the official knighthood and holds the title of Lord, but when he fought heretics in the south, he was under the Earl of Witt, and he was rescued many times by him, so he willingly did not enjoy the prominent status and status, Served as the count's internal attendant.

In fact, whether they are around the nobles or the grand dukes, kings, and emperors, there are similar characters. They are different from the noble knights who follow the obligations of the knights and join the knighthood to protect the lord in turn. The right of the nobles to protect the lord personally:

Some of them surrendered their rights to their children and acted as guards to consolidate their rights or obtain family titles beyond their own rank; some because of the life-saving grace; some when they accepted the lord ’s secret training and materials and made knightly promises, promising to become XX After the level, they will serve as guards for many years; some are simply for the unique and unique method of refining and enhancing the blood lineage of the family of the lord.

After hearing Nikolai ’s words, Lucian smiled and said, "Mr. Nikolai, in fact, there are very gloomy places in the northwestern provinces. They are often haunted and the dead are not peaceful. Although the church has controlled it tightly, I still know One point. "This is indirectly proving his identity as a member of the Vladimir family.

"According to you, Mr. Peter, maybe there is also near the Ural city, but it is also controlled by the church so that we have no way of knowing it. But what is the need to discuss things that are not known?" Even the typical military temperament Nikolay tried to show My own humor is also a bit stiff and not soft enough.

Lucien didn't mind, he continued to ask Nikolai and Leo to improve his understanding of the detailed terrain and environment nearby.

…………

Half an hour later, the magnificent old castle covered with dry vines and with the taste of Xiao Suo appeared in front of Lucien.

At the same time, an exquisite carriage was hurried from another direction.

Lucien just stood firm and saw that the carriage horse stopped with its front legs high, and a beautiful woman in a beautiful woolen dress looked down anxiously while the maid helped her.The snow-white of her body set herself beautiful and dignified.

"Mr. Peter ..."

"Mrs. Kalilina ..."

Lucian and Kalilina didn't expect to meet outside the castle gate and greeted each other in surprise.

Looking at Karilina's appearance and recalling her previous actions, Lucian smiled: "Mrs. Karilina, are you coming to see Earl Witt?"

"Yeah, I heard that Uncle Witt invited a guest, worried that he wouldn't obey Dr. Shantang's instructions, so he came over to remind him not to be too tired, and take a good rest." Karina said her smile became charming after she was surprised. Splendid, as she did at the banquet.

Lucien bowed slightly and reached out: "Mrs. Karilina, I will follow your reminder and will not delay the rest of the count, please."

"Mr. Peter, your courtesy is the best of the Shahran nobles I've ever seen, and I like it very much." After praised by Karina, she walked forward with her maid in a swaying manner.

She is telling the truth. Most of the nobles of the Shahran Empire only observe the most important ones in etiquette. They prefer fighting and spirits, so they are often called simple and rude "barbarians" by the nobles in the country to which the Southern Church belongs. ".

Sure enough, it was an invitation beyond their expectations. What happened inside the castle?Lucian calmly followed Karina to enter the "withered vine" castle.

…………

In a small living room in the withered castle, the fireplace is burning with a blazing flame, creating a room-like warmth.

Lucien took off the ordinary coat and coat he had worn on the outside and gave it to the waiter to hang on the coat rack. He saluted an old man with the noble formal etiquette: "It is an honor to see you, Lord Eart."

The old man was sitting on the sofa by the fireplace in the living room, wearing a thick black coat, and wrapped tightly as if afraid of the cold.His face is gray and haggard, but he can easily see the harsh and hard face lines in the past, and his light blue eyes are dim and turbid like other elderly people, and he is wearing a black soft cap to cover up Hair that seems to become scarce.The whole person is like a dry and dry plant.

This is a seventh-level sky knight who was very brave and powerful.

Seeing the look of Earl Witt, Lucien felt the horror of the passage of time from the heart, and she was fearful of aging and death.

"Fortunately, there are many ways to prolong life." This fear made Lucian have a strong desire.

Fear of death, longing for immortality and immortality are the tireless pursuit of human beings, a short-lived and intelligent creature.

Earl Witt wriggled and seemed to have gray lips, and his voice was weak and old: "Peter, I am also very happy to see you. I rarely see such a young and outstanding member of the Vladimir family in the southwest of the empire. . "

After speaking a few words, he took a few breaths: "This is my niece Kyarina, you should know. This is my housekeeper Xie Miao. He has followed me for many years and is an excellent housekeeper."

Kalilina sat on the left side of Count Witt and served him, while the gray-haired Xie Miao stood on the right side of Count Witt. His blue eyes looked at Lucien, nodding with a faint smile, no wrinkles on her face, But each course is deep, making it difficult to judge his age.

It is said that he is a strong knight and he is not as serious and meticulous as other stewards.

"Yes, Lord Count, I have received a warm hospitality from Mrs. Karina, she is a rare good person." Lucien said "heartily", and then sat on the sofa next to it.

Kalilina always feels wrong, but Lucien's words are impeccable, and she can only curse him as a good man for a lifetime.

Earl Witt chuckled and said, "Kalilena is a good girl. In fact, I have been looking for a young guy from the Vladimir family during this time, but Peter happened to be in Ural ..."

Before he finished speaking, he began to gasp again, and his physical condition was really bad.

Carlyna next to him was tense, holding the ears of Count Witt slightly stiff, and the back of the hand seemed to have blue tendons.

Lucien didn't intervene, politely waiting for Earl Witt to gasp.

Earl Witt's voice slowed down and said: "I am very old, no longer as firm and hard as before, never weak, and I like to remember the past. I still remember following my mother's trip to the northwest province when I was a kid. Are there so many prey, so many strange trees and flowers in the forest? "

"Master Earl, although I have not returned for many years, everything in the Tula Forest remains clearly in my mind, such as the crimson devil tree that can move and eat prey like animals ..." Lucien There was no jerky answer.

Carlyna next to him relaxed.

The rest of the time until lunch was carried out in the memory of Earl Witt and Lucien ’s supplement. The atmosphere was harmonious. Then Earl Witt invited Lucien to have lunch together and invited him to be a guest here for a day and return tomorrow Caravan about to leave.

Considering that there were many big knights and knightly guards in the Earl of Witt Castle, Lucian agreed.Now that things have changed, we can no longer proceed according to previous ideas.

…………

The night began to be thick, inside a room in the withered castle.

"How could Count Vit know of Peter's existence?" Ivanovsky didn't know when he got into the castle, and he asked Karilina angrily in front of him.(To be continued.
