Chapter 23

Harvey found Jared again because he wanted him to introduce Brenda theater company to him. It's not difficult. They also need to socialize with some local nobles after performing in the opera house.

Harvey didn't want to miss the chance to get in touch with the real caster, and Jared readily agreed.

When they came to the backstage of the opera house, they could see many well-dressed people coming in and out, most of whom were holding flowers or gifts. Harvey noticed that most of the flowers and gifts were given to the girl who played EVA. She was the protagonist of the play, and she had good looks. Of course, she would be popular.

Harvey asked Jared to introduce him to the Brenda couple, who are in charge of the Brenda theater company.

Jared went to take off his hat and bowed slightly. "Excuse me, Mr. Brenda. This is my friend Harvey Adrian. He's always looking forward to your company. I hope I can get to know you."

"Oh, of course, I'm Maxwell Brenda, and this is my wife, Elena. Nice to meet you." Maxwell smiles and reaches out his right hand to Harvey. He is short bearded, tall and thin. His handsome face is calm and gentle. Harvey's charming appearance is dimmed in front of him. He did not introduce his wife's surname, because most women in this era married with their husband's surname.

Harvey recognized him as the man who had just played EVA's father on the stage.

His wife, with long blonde hair and a conservative classic blue dress, had a warm face and nodded to Harvey as a greeting. The people around them frowned at Harvey and were dissatisfied with the two young men who suddenly cut in.

Harvey smiles, reaches out his right hand and shakes Maxwell: "I'm Harvey Adrian, and I'm glad to meet you. What Mr. Jared said just now is not entirely true. Your company's performance is very interesting. I always think they are very boring things before I have seen your company's performance."

"Haha, it's a great honor for us to change Mr. Adrian's view of drama."

While chatting, another person chimed in: "Mr. Brenda, your performance just now is really perfect. I seem to see the wise king Jean in you."

"Mr. Brenda, I wonder if we, the Jacobs, would have the pleasure of inviting your company to dinner?"

Harvey looked at the people, and before he was squeezed out, he held out his head and asked, "Mr. Brenda, I'm very interested in the performance of your company, especially the magic props. I wonder if I can meet the magician?"

Maxwell reached out and motioned for others to be calm. He looked at Harvey in surprise. He was the only one who had asked him this question. He thought about it for a while and said, "I have no right to decide the meeting of others. Mr. Kenneth, who is in charge of drama and magic props, is in the next room. You can go to him if you need to, but Mr. Kenneth always doesn't like to contact strangers."

"Thank you very much."

Harvey bowed to thank him, turned and left to find the magician. Jared also left Harvey after the introduction.

When he came to the props room mentioned by Maxwell, he knocked on the wooden door. After the door opened, standing in front of Harvey was a thin old man with frosty hair and plain linen clothes. His eyes were as dark as those of an old man in twilight. When he saw Harvey, he was stunned, and then a strange ray of light passed by.

"Hello, I'm Harvey Adrian." Harvey sighed, took off his hat and bowed.

"Adrian? No wonder, "the old man said, nodding for a long time," my name is Kenneth Randolph, Mr. Adrian. What can I do for you

Hearing his honorific name, Harvey was stunned and nodded subconsciously: "the magic effect of this drama is really wonderful. I heard Mr. Brenda say that you are the caster in charge of magic props, so I want to visit you once."

Hearing Harvey's praise for his magic props, Kenneth's ravaged old face softened. He turned back to the room and said hoarsely, "it's not convenient to speak in the corridor. Come in first."

This room used to be a vacant room in the theater, but now it is full of props needed for drama performance, scene layout and all kinds of strange clothes, such as armor, weapon props, gothic dress and prisoner's clothing. In addition, you can also see a simple workbench, which is filled with transparent crystals of different shapes. Kenneth came to the crystal table and sat down. He said slowly, "I thought there would be no more casters in the Adrian family."

He even knows about the Adrian family?

Harvey was stunned. He had the impression that his family was not famous enough to be known by people outside the city of Elroy.

Kenneth glanced at Harvey's surprise and continued to explain: "the Adrian family is still very famous in the Sorcerer's Association in the kingdom of balun. At least in my time, that Adrian represented the genius of the common people's casters, but it's a pity that he died early. Otherwise, now the Adrian family is estimated to be the most famous family in the capital."

Speaking of the end, Kenneth's face somehow showed a little lonely and self mockery.

Harvey thought about it for a moment, then went forward and said politely, "Mr. Randolph, can you tell me something about the Adrian family? I never knew anything about my family, and my parents didn't seem to want to know anything about the caster. "

Kenneth didn't mind. He fiddled with his crystal and said slowly: "it seems that you don't know your family and magic at all. Of course, it's a civilian after all. Once there is an accident, the family's magic knowledge inheritance will break. It's all in the past. Well, I've been tossing about these magic crystals. I haven't communicated with others for a long time. "

He shook his head, his old voice full of self mockery.

"Your grandfather, Adrian, was very famous in our time because he broke the curse that common people would never become a master of higher learning..."

"At that time, I was just an apprentice, and Adrian was the hope of almost all civilian casters, including me."

······

The old man kept talking for more than half an hour, and Harvey's understanding of the caster deepened. In the eyes of the caster, blood is a key factor, which is related to the affinity between the caster and the magic net. Occasionally, there will be highly gifted casters among the common people, but the common people's origin means that the level of knowledge is limited, unless they are dug up from an early age and received orthodox education, Otherwise, no matter how talented the civilian casters are, they are all Muggles.

Now the situation has improved a lot. With the decline of magic, some magic families are very willing to recruit foreign magicians and share some basic casting knowledge.

The founder of the Adrian family is a civilian caster. His experience is like a legend to outsiders. In a very short period of time, he achieved the achievement of a superior caster and stood at the peak of the casters in the kingdom of Baron at that time. But so far, the government has only announced the death of Adrian without any other information. At that time, the heirs of the Adrian family did not have much magic talent, so they had no choice but to move out of the capital of Baron Kingdom and live in Elroy as hereditary aristocrats.

As for Kenneth, who claims to be a mediocre caster and chooses to work for Brenda theatre to earn pension, his tone shows that he has respect for Adrian.

——I didn't expect that the Adrian family had something to do with it. That's why Maxwell's strange temper caster was willing to take care of himself.

Harvey secretly congratulated himself on his birth.
