Chapter 899: Reception (1)
Since returning to Mingsha City, the two have hardly been in contact, on the one hand, Ward has to follow Malpei to ambush and integrate the internal dissidents, on the other hand, Merlin also has her own things to do, these things are suppressed by her name there, and she does not need to take action in person. However, Merlin believes that there is something wrong, otherwise Ward would not have come to her at this time.
"Mistress Merlin,"
Ward hurriedly stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said very respectfully: "Lord Toripur will hold a grand reception in half a month to entertain guests from afar, and the Duke's Palace will send invitations to the nobles in the territory, and the City Lord hopes that you can attend this reception with him...... His Royal Highness the Duke also looks forward to your presence in the invitation. ”
"Cocktail party ......," Merlin groaned slightly.
The continent she is currently on is the Red Mountain Kingdom of the Proswan Continent, and the specific location is the Tengger Desert, which is subordinate to the province of Toripur...... And the masters of the province of Tolipur are the Tolipur family.
"Who is the Duke of Torlippur entertaining?"
"It's a guest from Casablanca, the royal capital. Ward replied respectfully.
"Guest ...... Casablanca"
Mei Lin's brows furrowed slightly, "It must be a distinguished guest who can make His Royal Highness the Duke entertain with great fanfare, right?"
Ward nodded, his expression becoming more and more respectful: "Yes, I heard that the guest who visited His Royal Highness the Duke this time was a fourth-level great magician from the Norton family who had just been promoted. ”
"The Norton family?" Merlin's eyebrows raised slightly.
Ward knew that Merlin had lived in the desert for a long time and did not know much about the history of the kingdom and the relationship between the nobles, so he briefly introduced it.
In the Red Mountain Kingdom, the vast majority of nobles are born from the blood of mages or paladins, and even if the person who inherits the title later is not a mage, his family is guarded by a mage. Among them, there are some families that have always been dominated by magicians, such as the royal Spielberg family, etc., and the Norton family is a magical family in the kingdom, and the patriarch of the family is Farna Magi, one of the four major magicians of the kingdom. And this time, the guest who came had an extremely high status in the Norton family, second only to the magician.
Merlin secretly marveled in her heart, the Norton family deserved to be a famous magical family...... In the case of a family, it is even more incredible that not only does it have a magician, but it can also produce a great magician among the members of the family. This shows that this family is all people with super magical talents. However, for a family, with these two pillars, I am afraid that it is already the limit, if there is another great magician, then it must be the darling of the gods.
To go or not to go?
If it was when she first came to the Esla's plane, Merlin would definitely refuse, but now that she has been here for more than half a year, she feels that she has integrated into this plane well, as long as she is careful, she feels that she will not reveal the identity of the visitor from the other plane. Moreover, Mingsha City's classics were limited after all, and she hoped to get a way to leave this plane, which she couldn't do with the knowledge of this small desert city alone.
After a moment of silence, Merlin asked, "Lord Ward, who else is participating?"
"All the magicians above the second level have been invited, and whether they are willing to participate or not depends on their own arrangements. However, the lord of the castle said that this was a rare opportunity. So we hope you will be able to participate as well. Ward said.
"Okay, please report back to the city lord, and I will participate. After some consideration, Merlin finally agreed.
In fact, she also wanted to see how many powerful people there were in the Norton family. Although she hadn't put the level of a fourth-level great magician in her eyes yet, she was still very afraid of Farna, a magician...... But at the same time, there is some anticipation. Of course, she wouldn't tell Malpei right now that she was going to leave Mingsha City.
After receiving Merlin's reply, Ward immediately took his leave. Originally, Merlin planned to invite Ward to sit down, but seeing his sincere and terrified appearance, Merlin sighed in her heart and gave up the idea.
Although the time of the reception was half a month later, Mingsha City was quite far from Candiago City, the capital of Toripur Province, and they set off early, only a day in advance.
They found an inn in the city and stayed overnight, and after a day's rest, they went to the Duke's Palace to attend a large reception hosted by the Duke of Toripur.
At this reception, not only the fiefdom nobles in the province of Toripur will try their best to attend, but even those magicians in the province who are above the second level are eligible to participate.
Although the province of Toripur is not very conspicuous in the kingdom, it shows the grandeur and luxury of the nobility when it comes to hosting a drinking party, and Merlin has never seen such a luxurious drinking party even before coming to the Ezra plane.
In the palace-like duke's palace, countless ladies, ladies, and ladies, like proud peacocks, showed their best side to the fullest, and in their hearts, the distinguished guest from the royal capital, and the magicians who participated in this drinking party, were the objects of their hunting for one-night stands...... Of course, if it's the right target, it doesn't matter if you come back for a few more nights. Moreover, if they can get their bloodline, even their families will not mind that this lover relationship will be preserved forever.
Before attending this reception, most of the guests already knew the origin of the guest of honor.
The reputation of the Norton family, a magical family in the Red Mountain Kingdom, has aroused everyone's curiosity and attachment. If you can get the friendship of the Norton family, then whoever you are, in the province of Toripur, will become famous and form a force to be reckoned with.
Merlin and Malpey entered the party together, both wearing magical robes and wearing a second-level mage badge on their chests - Merlin did not go for a third-level mage certification.
When the two of them walked into the reception, they immediately attracted the attention of most of the people in the venue - in addition to the second-level magician badges on their bodies, the most rare thing was their age and appearance. The woman is beautiful, the man is handsome, people who don't know still think they are a couple, just looking at it, I feel eye-catching.
"Malpey, long time no see!"
As soon as the two of them entered the reception, someone came up to greet them.
In front of them were two nobles, one was a young man, about the same age as Malpei, and the other was a middle-aged man with a graceful demeanor, neither of whom was a priest, but his body was very strong, and he should have practiced martial arts.
