Chapter 264
Chapter 262 Arrivals
Although Liandel is known as an empire, the actual capital of Lunya is not as large as Norton, the capital of the Barron Kingdom, but the residence of the Ludwig family surprised Harvey. After entering, he can still see it. At the end of the dense forest, there is a path paved with stones leading to the unknown castle, wide enough for two or three carriages to run side by side, and weeds on both sides of the road are unattended.
After entering, you can see the carriage on the side of the gate that is ready to welcome guests. There is a dedicated horseman feeding. When Eve comes in, he pulls out a carriage and carries the two to the castle.
After the carriage drove for more than ten minutes, the view covered by the dense forest became wide. The forest disappeared. Instead, the ground was paved with tiles. You can see a huge artificial fountain on both sides of the fountain, with stairs leading to the top. People can see the castle on the top of the terrain and a huge sculpture before they get close. The statue is about tens of meters high. It looks like a person who is covered in a robe is flipping through a book. It is a statue, but it gives Harvey a feeling as if he is overlooking himself.
This is not Harvey’s illusion. When Harvey saw this statue, he understood that the feeling of being peeped at the door should come from the statue in front of him. It can be determined that the statue is not a living thing or someone manipulated it. It should be a high-level structure. Pretend to be creatures or magic guards and the like.
After getting out of the carriage and seeing Harvey’s inquisitive gaze at the statue, Eve explained as he walked: “That’s Linus von Ludwig, the founder of our family. He is an amazing spellcaster and also One of the founders of the Magic Association, author of “The Continuity of the Ether Element” and “The Void Element” well-known spell papers, he is famous for his research, and he is not a very powerful spellcaster.”
After going up, there is a large garden to reach the castle. A servant in a tuxedo and white gloves in front of the door pushed open the door of the castle and bowed his waist to make a request.
“Please come in.”
Eve’s look became serious. Inside the castle is a spacious and empty hall. The red carpet embroidered with delicate patterns is spread from the door to the stairs of the hall. The marble floors on both sides reflect the shadows of lights and stone pillars. The layout is too simple. Let this hall look extremely empty and quiet, and everyone’s footsteps can be heard clearly.
On the second floor facing the main entrance, a blond man in a white suit walked down the stairs with a gentle and handsome face: “You are Mr. Harvey Adrian as Terrence said, I’m Linus · Von Ludwig XVI, the current head of the Ludwig family, welcomes your visit on behalf of the Ludwig family.”
Harvey was a little surprised that the man in front of him didn’t rely on translation spells and talked to him in proficient Balun.
“I didn’t expect to be greeted by Ludwig’s Patriarch personally. It’s my honor.” Harvey leaned to salute. He was a little surprised to see this handsome blond male Harvey at first, because he couldn’t feel it from him. Any magical breath, no matter whether it is peeping through the naked eye or sensing the flow of etheric elements, the person in front of him is no different from ordinary people.
Generally speaking, adding the word “” after the name means that this family has several people with the same name. This world retains the culture and customs of the Earth and the West. It is a kind of respect and preference to inherit the name of the father’s generation, so Linus von Ludwig XVI’s name is the same as the founder of the Ludwig family, which also shows that there have been fifteen people with the same name in this family.
Linus von Ludwig XVI looked at Eve next to Harvey and said, “Eve, you have worked hard, go back and rest.”
Evra pulled up her skirt and bowed, and stepped back respectfully.
“I’m very sorry to need you to come here all the way, but I am really interested in the exotic magic casters described by Your Excellency Terrence and my sister-in-law. Now what I have seen with my own eyes is indeed beyond ordinary people’s expectations. Please come, I will bring you You go to the living room.”
The two went one after the other into an elegantly furnished and artistic waiting living room. Ludwig XVI took out a drawn up contract and handed it to Harvey: “This is drawn up according to the conditions we negotiated.” If there is no problem, please Mr. Adrian to sign his own spell name.”
“Spell name?” Harvey looked at the document in his hand and asked, “Sorry, what is the so-called spell name?”
Ludwig XVI explained in a calm tone: “Generally, before officially becoming a spellcaster, he will draw up a spell name and register it with the Magic Association to be recognized. It is an ancient tradition left over from the past. Of course, signing the real name does not matter.”
It was confirmed that there was no problem with the contract before Harvey signed the name.
“Mr. Adrian, what do you think of magic?” Ludwig XVI asked disapprovingly after receiving the document review.
“I’m just a low-level spellcaster, and I don’t have such a deep understanding of magic.” Harvey replied, sitting on the sofa with his hands folded, how did it feel that every spellcaster he encountered would ask similar questions.
“It’s okay, I just want to hear the opinions of spellcasters from completely different environments.”
Harvey replied vaguely: “Then I’m gumbled. In my opinion, magic is a means of discovering the rules and laws of the universe or magic itself is the embodiment of the rules. The difference lies in the person who casts the spell.”
“Well, Mr. Adrian’s view is quite close to the philosophy that our Ludwig family insists on.” Ludwig XVI held his chin in thought, looked at Harvey and said suddenly: “Then Mr. Adrian. , Do you mean which magic faction you want to join?”
Harvey shook his head decisively and learned a piece of magic association knowledge. Of course, he knew what the so-called faction meant. The twelve families that created the magic association were headed. Almost every family represented a faction and competed with each other. Different factions represented different magicians. The concept of, can also be refined into different magic disciplines, the battle of factions is chaotic, on the other hand, there are also weak and neutral factions similar to modern spells.
“Well, then I will personally hand over the previous contract between you and the Ludwig family to the Magic Association. From today on, you will be an affiliated honorary mage of the Ludwig family, allowing you to be free in the residence of the Ludwig family. Activities, if you don’t mind, please stay here for a few more days. I’ll let Eve show you about this place.” Ludwig XVI stood up and owed himself impolite, his attitude was neither salty nor indifferent.
······
The servant brought Harvey to the door of the guest room. Harvey was stunned as soon as he entered.
The room is spacious and bright, and the floor is covered with soft carpets. The room is full of luxurious decorations. The mahogany tables and chairs are polished and shiny, but there is already a woman sitting on the velvet bed, stepping on it. Erlang’s legs are tilted on the low chair in front of the bed. She wore a luxurious blue dress with a style similar to later modern dresses with less fabric. The tight willow waist highlighted the plump and proud figure of the female. The dress’s socket opened all the way to the base of the thigh and was decorated with a lot of blue lace. When the bouquet is stepped on a low chair, the thick and slender curve is even more attractive.
The female looks very beautiful, with blond hair and blue eyes a little similar to Ludwig XVI, with exquisite makeup, light blue thin lips slightly curled up with a hint of contempt, and the long golden hair of the shawl is blue The ribbon is tied into a side ponytail, not in a natural curl, some resembling a croissant, which must have been carefully taken care of.
When he saw Harvey, his brows were raised lightly, and the contempt was even stronger.
The servant naturally helped Harvey close the door.
“Did I go to the wrong room? It doesn’t look like that.” Harvey shrugged and sat down to wait for the woman in front of him to speak.
The blonde girl snorted contemptuously, and asked in her unskilled Balen language, “Are you the new high-ranking honorary mage?”
“Probably me? Are you?”
The blonde stood up, looking down at Harvey with one hand on her waist, “Lois von Ludwig.”
“What can you do with me?”
Louise came to Harvey, lowered her body and stared into Harvey’s eyes like this: “Of course, as a member of the Ludwig family, I am qualified to interrogate the arrangement of the Honorary Mage. I am a little curious. What kind of spellcaster is eligible to be the last seat of the Adrian family’s superior honorable mage? Now it seems that my original objections are really correct. I am a little curious about how a median caster was attracted to it. Eve’s attention.”
“I have met His Excellency Ludwig XVI just now, and I think we should have reached a consensus.”
Louise clasped her hands in disdain and said: “With him? What qualifications does a person who has turned a blind eye to the family after becoming the owner of the family can represent the Ludwig family?”
“You should tell him about this, not me. If he can’t represent the opinions of the Ludwig family, I can also give up this cooperation.” Harvey said in an unhappy tone, knowing that it will definitely not be that simple, otherwise This blonde girl will not appear here.
“You…” The blonde was suddenly anxious. She couldn’t understand Harvey at first, but now Harvey still talks to her in this disrespectful tone. She immediately tried her right hand and chanted a few spells quickly, and the fingertips of her fingers appeared. Red light.
Elemental third-order spells——
Hearing the spells sung by Louise, Harvey instantly judged the spell she was going to cast. When she finished casting the spell and pointed at herself, he easily slapped her right hand away. The red light was fleeting, and the place pointed by her right finger appeared. The elemental flame burned out in less than two or three seconds.
The power of the spell is very weak, and even a piece of cloth has not been penetrated in such a short time. It is not that the spell is very weak, but the caster left one hand, so Harvey did not fight back on the spot.
Harvey frowned and glanced at her coldly: “What do you want to do? This is how your Ludwig family treats guests?”
Louise sneered: “This is the attitude of the Ludwig family to unwelcome guests. If you fully understand it, then you can go back to the country where the spell net is fragile.”
“Eve once said to me that rashly using prophecy spells to peek at other people’s information in the Magic Association can be regarded as a provocation, but now it is using offensive spells to attack a spellcaster. I will regard this attack as It’s a personal provocation, not the attitude of the Ludwig family.”
“Anything is fine. A median caster is not welcome here.” She said, she began to chant a mouthful of spells again, looking at Harvey indifferently, waiting for Harvey’s response.
“Loise!” Eve’s voice came, and then the petite figure hurriedly opened the wooden door.
The voice of chanting stopped, Louise looked stiff and looked at the incoming person, “Eve…”
She remembered that a magic circle had been set up in this room to prevent what happened here from leaking out. How did Eve get here? The spirit moved slightly, and it was only then that the magic circle was silently cracked by others. Eve probably felt the elemental fluctuations caused by the third-order spell she had just cast.
The small face of Eve who came in was very ugly, Xing’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed angrily: “Stop, then apologize to Mr. Adrian!”
“Eve, he is just a mid-level spellcaster. What benefits can he bring to the Ludwig family?”
Eve crouched on her hips and taught: “This is a common decision between me and your uncle Ludwig XVI. You can choose not to follow it just as you can choose to abandon this surname.”
uncle?
Harvey looked weird. I remember that Eve seemed to be the younger sister of Ludwig XVI, so that she was not taller than Harvey’s chest, and Eve, who looked like a little girl, was bigger than the coquettish blonde in front of her. A whole generation. Harvey was watching the excitement happily. The blonde woman in front of her was arrogant and would not apologize easily. Harvey just didn’t want to step her down, either apologizing or making the matter a big deal.
From Louise’s reaction, we can see who is worse off now.
Louise’s face was uncertain, and she understood her situation. She stood in front of Harvey, stepped back with her right foot and raised her skirt to respectfully salute: “Mr. Adrian, please forgive me for the offense.”
“Oh first straighten your posture and lower your head, so that I can almost forgive you for attacking me with a third-order spell just now!” Harvey will leave Yi without a trace. What Si had done just now was shaken out.
“What!” Eve stared at Louise with wide-eyed eyes. Harvey seemed to her to be a median caster, and it was no longer offensive for Louise to cast a third-order spell to attack a median caster. .
“You…” Louise stood up for a while and hurriedly stood up to defend herself: “It’s not what he said, I just want to test it.”
“Temptation, do you use Tier 3 offensive spells to test a median caster?” Eve personally came to Harvey, lowered his head and raised his skirt apologizing: “Mr. Adrian, I’m sorry for Louise for a while. The trouble caused by impulse, I will report this to the family, and it is up to you and them to decide what to do with Louise.”
Harvey nodded without speaking, Louise’s body beside her stiffened, her fists squeezed and trembling violently because of excessive force.
The members of Ludwig’s family council consist of core family members and a small number of elder honorary mages. The family power is no less than that of Ludwig XVI, and it is more prestigious. She does not believe that the family council will do this trivial matter. Deal with her, but the evaluation of her within the family will definitely be lowered.
