Chapter 262

Although leandel is known as an empire, the actual capital of Renya is not as large as Norton, the capital of the kingdom of Baren. Harvey was surprised by the Ludwig family's residence. When he went in, he could see the endless dense forest. In the middle, there was a stone paved path leading to the unknown castle. The width of the road could allow two or three carriages to run side by side, with weeds growing on both sides of the road, There's no one to take care of.

After entering, you can see the carriage ready to meet the guests at the side of the gate. There is a special groom feeding. When you see Eve coming in, you pull out a carriage and take them to the castle.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the view covered by dense forest becomes wider and the forest disappears. Instead, the ground is paved with ceramic tiles. You can see a huge artificial fountain facing you. On both sides of the fountain are the stairs leading to the top. Before you get close, you can see the Castle sitting on the top of the terrain and a huge sculpture. The statue is about ten meters high, It looks like a man wrapped in a robe is looking through a book. It's a statue, but it gives Harvey a feeling of overlooking himself.

This is not Harvey's illusion. When Harvey saw the statue, he knew that the feeling of being peeped at the door should come from the statue in front of him. He could be sure that the statue was not a living creature or manipulated by someone, but a high-level structure creature or a magic guard.

As he got out of the carriage and saw Harvey's inquiring eyes looking at the statue, Eve explained as he walked: "that's Linus von Ludwig, the founder of our family. He is a great caster, and also one of the founders of the magic association. He is famous for his research on famous magic papers such as the continuity of the ether element and the void element, It's not a very powerful caster in itself

After going up, you have to go through a large garden to get to the castle. In front of the gate, a servant in a tuxedo and white gloves pushed open the gate of the castle and bowed to make a gesture of invitation.

"Come in, please."

Eve's face became serious. Inside the castle, there was a spacious and open hall. The red carpet embroidered with exquisite patterns was paved from the door to the stairs of the hall. The marble floors on both sides reflected the shadows of lights and stone columns. The simple layout made the hall look very spacious and quiet, and everyone's footsteps could be heard clearly.

On the second floor facing the front door, a blonde man in a white suit came down the stairs slowly, with a warm and handsome face: "you are Mr. Harvey Adrian as Terence said. I am Linus von Ludwig XVI, the current head of the Ludwig family. On behalf of the Ludwig family, I welcome you to visit."

Harvey was a little surprised. In front of him, the man didn't rely on translation magic and talked to him in fluent balun.

"I didn't expect to be personally welcomed by the head of Ludwig's family. It's my honor." Harvey bowed to give a gift. At first sight, Harvey, a handsome blonde man, was a little surprised because he could not feel any magical breath from him. No matter how he peeped or felt the flow of etheric elements, people in front of him were just like ordinary people.

Generally speaking, the word "Shi" will be added after the name, which means that there are several people with the same name in the family. The world retains the western culture and customs of the earth. It is a kind of respect and preference to inherit the name of the father. Therefore, the name of Linus von Ludwig XVI is the same as the founder of the Ludwig family, It also shows that there are 15 people with the same name in this family.

Linus von Ludwig XVI looked at eve on Harvey's side and said, "Eve, please go back to rest."

Eve pulled up her skirt and stepped down respectfully.

"I'm very sorry to have you come all the way here, but I'm really interested in the magical casters of foreign countries described by Lord Terence and her sister. What I see with my own eyes is really unexpected. Please come on, I'll take you to the living room."

One by one, they went to an elegant and artistic living room. Ludwig XVI took out a contract and gave it to Harvey: "this contract is drawn up according to the terms we discussed. If there is no problem, please ask Mr. Adrian to sign his own name."

"Spell name?" Harvey looked at the document in his hand and asked, "excuse me, what's the name of the spell?"

Ludwig XVI explained calmly: "generally, before officially becoming a caster, a spell name will be drawn up and registered with the magic association for recognition, which is an ancient tradition left behind before. Of course, it doesn't matter to sign the real name."

Make sure there's no problem with the contract. Harvey just signed.

"Mr. Adrian, what do you think of magic?" Asked Ludwig XVI, who took over the examination of the documents with disapproval.

"I'm just a low caster. I don't have that deep insight into magic." Harvey sat on the sofa and closed his hands. How could he feel that every caster he met would ask similar questions.

"Well, I just want to hear from the caster in a completely different environment."

Harvey replied vaguely: "I'm sorry. In my opinion, magic is a means to explore the laws of the universe, or magic itself is the embodiment of the rules. The difference lies in the caster."

"Well, Mr. Adrian's view is quite close to that of our Ludwig family." Ludwig XVI, holding his chin in meditation, looked at Harvey and suddenly said, "so Mr. Adrian, do you want to join any magic faction?"

Harvey shook his head decisively and learned about the magic association for a while. Of course, he knew what the so-called faction meant. Headed by the 12 families that founded the magic association, almost every family represented a faction, competing with each other. Different factions represented different ideas about magic, and could be subdivided into different magic disciplines. Factional struggles were chaotic, On the other hand, there are weak neutral factions like modern magic.

"Well, I will personally submit your previous contract with the Ludwig family to the magic association. From today on, you are the honorary mage of the Ludwig family, and you are allowed to move freely in the Ludwig family's residence. If you don't mind, please stay here for a few more days. I'll let Eve show you about it." Ludwig XVI stood up, bowed to his body, and had a good attitude.

······

The servant took Harvey to the door of the guest room. As soon as he entered, Harvey was stunned.

The room is wide and bright, the floor is covered with soft carpet, the room is decorated with some luxurious decorations, the mahogany tables and chairs are polished, but there is already a woman sitting on the bed with velvet soft quilt, and her legs are cocked on the low chair in front of the bed. She is wearing a luxurious blue dress, which is similar to the modern dress of later generations. The cloth is less, and the willow waist is tight, which highlights the women's plump and proud figure. The socket of the dress goes all the way to the thigh root and is decorated with a bunch of blue lace. When stepping on the low chair, the full and slender curve of the jade legs is extremely attractive.

Women's looks are very beautiful. Their blonde hair and blue eyes are a little similar to Ludwig XVI's. they are painted with delicate makeup. Their light blue thin lips are slightly cocked, which implies the taste of contempt. Their long golden hair is tied into a ponytail with blue ribbon, which is not a natural roll. Some of them are like croissants, which must have been carefully taken care of.

When I saw Harvey, my eyebrows were light and my contempt was even stronger.

The servant naturally helped Harvey close the door.

"Am I in the wrong room? It doesn't look like that either. " Harvey shrugged and sat down to wait for the woman to speak.

The blonde groaned scornfully, and asked in less proficient balun, "are you the new master of honor?"

"Probably me? Who are you

The blonde stood up and looked down at Harvey with one hand across her waist. "Lois von Ludwig."

"What can I do for you?"

Louise came to Harvey, lowered her body and looked Harvey straight in the eyes: "of course, as a member of the Ludwig family, I am qualified to ask about the arrangement of honorary mages. I am a little curious about what kind of caster is qualified to be the last seat of the honorary mage of the superior of the Adrian family. Now it seems that my original objection is absolutely correct, I'm a little curious about the way in which a middle caster attracts Eve's attention

"I have just met his Excellency Ludwig XVI, and I think we should have reached a consensus."

Louise held her hands and said, "with him? What's the right of a person to represent the Ludwig family if he doesn't care about the family after he becomes the head of the family? "

"You should talk to him about this, not me. If he can't represent the ludwigs, I can give up this cooperation." Harvey's tone was not quick, and he knew it would not be that simple, otherwise the blonde would not be here.

"You... The blonde was so angry that she didn't like Harvey. Now Harvey still talks to her in such a disrespectful tone. In the first instance, he quickly chants a few incantations, and a red light appears on the fingertips of his fingers.

Elemental third order magic - [burning finger]

Hearing the incantation chanted by Louise, Harvey instantly judged the spell she was going to cast. When she pointed to herself, Harvey easily patted her right hand open. The red light was fleeting, and an elemental flame appeared at the place pointed by her right finger, which burned out in less than two or three seconds.

The power of the spell is very weak. In such a short time, he didn't even penetrate a piece of cloth. It's not that the spell is very weak. The caster left a hand, so Harvey didn't fight back on the spot.

Harvey frowned and gave her a cold glance. "What do you want to do? Is that how your ludwigs treat their guests? "

Louise sneered: "this is the attitude of the ludwigs towards unwelcome guests. If you fully understand it, you can go back to the country where the magic net is fragile."

"Eve once said to me that it can be regarded as provocation to rashly use prophecy magic to peep at other people's information in the magic association. Now she is using aggressive magic to attack a caster. I will regard this attack as a personal provocation rather than a Ludwig family attitude."

"Either is good. A middle caster is not welcome here." With that, she began to chant the curse again, looking at Harvey coldly, waiting for Harvey's reply.

"Lois!" Eve's voice came, and then she saw the petite figure rushing to open the wooden door.

The sound of the incantation stopped, and Louise looked at the man with a stiff face: "eve

She remembers that she has arranged a magic circle in this room to prevent what happened here from leaking out. How did Eve come here? Spirit fretting, this just found that the magic array was broken quietly by others, Eve probably felt the element fluctuation caused by her third-order magic just now.

Eve, who came in, looked very ugly. She glared and yelled angrily, "stop and apologize to Mr. Adrian!"

"Eve, he's just a middle caster. What kind of benefits can he bring to the ludwigs?"

"It's a decision made by your uncle Ludwig XVI and I together. You can choose not to abide by it, just as you can choose to give up this surname," Eve said with a cross

Uncle?

Harvey looks strange. I remember that Eve seems to be the sister of Ludwig XVI. So she is less than Harvey's chest and looks like a little girl. Eve is a generation older than this gorgeous blonde. Harvey was watching the scene happily. In front of her, the blonde was arrogant and would not apologize easily. Harvey just didn't want to give her a step down, either apologizing or making a big fuss.

From Louise's reaction, we can see who is more disadvantageous to the situation.

Louise's face was uncertain, and she understood her situation. She stood in front of Harvey, took a small step back on her right foot, and saluted respectfully with her skirt: "Mr. Adrian, please forgive me for the offence."

"Oh, first position yourself and lower your head, then I can almost forgive you for attacking me with the third-order magic." Harvey shook out what Lois had just done without leaving a trace.

"What Eve stares at Louise with wide eyes. Harvey is also a middle caster in her eyes, and it's no longer an offence for Louise to attack a middle caster with a third-order spell.

"You..." Lois was arrogant for a moment, and quickly stood up to defend herself: "it's not what he said, I just want to test it."

"Test, you use the third attack spell to test a middle caster?" Eve came to Harvey in person, lowered her head and lifted her skirt, apologized and said, "Mr. Adrian, I'm sorry for the trouble caused by Louise's impulse. I'll report this to the family, and it's up to you and them to decide what to do with Louise."

Harvey nodded and said nothing. Louise's body was stiff and her fist was clenched. She was shaking violently because of excessive force.

Ludwig's family council is composed of core family members and a small number of senior honorary mages. The family power is no less than Ludwig XVI, and she has more prestige. She does not believe that the family council will deal with her for this small matter, but the evaluation of her in the family will certainly be reduced.
