Chapter 40: The Shocked Muse
Soon, the figure of this squad leader appeared at the gate of the manor again, his expression was a little nervous, and at the same time, he obviously came at full speed, he didn't care about his breath, so he shouted loudly: "Hurry up and open the gate to welcome the distinguished guest of Lord Viscount!"
"This is a powerful mage who even the Viscount has to treat with courtesy, you ears without ears, haven't you heard? What are you waiting for!?"
With his shouting, four or five guards all grasped the huge winch switch of the thick manor gate, and in the sudden force, the chain attached to the manor gate was pulled by the winch and moved, making the heavy manor gate slowly open inward......
When the door was fully opened, Butler Tlal could be seen greeting him with a group of people. When he saw Lydia's figure, he quickened his pace and walked up to Lydia, bowed and said, "Welcome to the Golden Cornflower Manor, Honorable Mage, Lord Viscount has ordered me to meet you." ”
"Lord Viscount is already on his way to greet you, and has instructed his servants to prepare a sumptuous lunch and a good resting room, which will help you relax after a long journey. ”
Lydia nodded faintly and said, "Lead the way." ”
"Yes, Master Mage, please come with me. Butler Tlal bowed again.
At this time, a group of people brought by Butler Tlal did the etiquette of welcoming the nobles, but Lydia obviously didn't care about this, and just silently followed Butler Tlal through between them.
When Lydia followed Steward Tlal to the hall, Atro, who had come out to greet her, also came to the hall.
"Lady Lydia, my friend, welcome to you. It's been a long time, and I'm so glad I'm here with you!" Atro laughed loudly.
As he spoke, he made a noble salute to Lydia.
"I'm glad to see you again, Viscount Atro. Lydia, who had returned the salute perfectly with skillful movements, smiled politely.
"Alright, let's sit down, Lady Lydia, and first try the Golden Cornflower Tea, a specialty of our Golden Cornflower Estate, which is a well-known specialty in the city of Deira. Atro invited Lydia.
"Okay. Lydia nodded politely in agreement, of course.
"Please follow me. Atro nodded to Butler Tlal and motioned for him to leave to prepare something else, then turned to lead the way.
Lydia, of course, followed......
The pale golden shriveled buds quickly stretch and swell under the steaming liquid, exuding a rich and fresh fragrance, while the fully extended golden buds also bloom in an expensive porcelain cup.
"Come and try it, Lady Lydia, this is the Golden Cornflower Tea. Smiling, Atro brought the cup of fragrant golden cornflower tea to Lydia.
Lydia, who sat on the Northland mahogany sofa covered with fluffy fur, gracefully picked up the cup of golden cornflower tea, then took a sip lightly, and exclaimed, "It is indeed a good cup of flower tea." ”
"If you like it, Lady Lydia, I can give you some to take back and drink slowly. Atro laughed.
"Thank you then. Lydia thanked politely.
"It's okay, it's okay, Lady Lydia, if you like it. Atro waved his hand and smiled.
Seeing that Lydia was still wearing the wide hood of the mage's robes, Atro seemed to want to ask, but he endured it again, which mage didn't have any quirks, anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
With that in mind, Atro moved on to something else.
......
After a lot of rambling and boring aristocratic polite conversations, Butler Tlal walked in, bowed to Atro and Lydia, who seemed to be having a good conversation, and said, "Lord Viscount, Lord Mage, a sumptuous lunch has been prepared, may I ask if you two are going to eat now." ”
"Oh, Lady Lydia, you are hungry after a long journey, please come with me for a delicious lunch. Ending the boring polite remarks, Atro invited.
"Of course, I'm looking forward to this lunch. Lydia replied.
Steward Tlal turned to lead the way, and both Atro and Lydia got up and followed.
The muse, who had finished the morning class, was already sitting at the table, watching the maids in front of him continue to serve plates of sumptuous dishes, roast chicken, fried fish, roast suckling pig, veal steak, roast lamb, salad, etc......
"Hmm, are there any guests today?" asked the muse, looking at the various dishes that were obviously much more sumptuous than usual, to one of the maids who was busy.
"Young Master Muse, I heard that a mage who was invited by Lord Viscount came to the manor this morning, and now Lord Viscount is receiving that mage, but now it is estimated that Steward Traal has gone to inform Lord Viscount and the mage to come over for dinner......" The maid who was asked temporarily stopped her work and answered to the muse.
Nodding, the muse motioned for the maid to continue her work.
"Has the mage who used my father to communicate with long-distance communication already arrived, whatever, anyway, it's just a cover to say that he wants to learn spells from the mage. The muse thought indifferently, and continued to take a sip of the golden cornflower tea in his hand.
"Ms. Lydia, this is it, please take a seat. Soon, the Muse heard Atro's familiar voice.
"Yes, Viscount Atro. Then came the voice of an arcane emperor with a deep memory of the Arcane Emperor he had befriended in his previous life as a Grand Arcanist!
Snort –
The muse almost couldn't resist squirting all the golden cornflower tea in his mouth forward!
But even so, he couldn't help but panic and spit all the tea in his mouth back into the teacup in his hand.
"Ahem, what the hell, how did she end up here!" thought the muse, stroking his chest, his face full of shock.
At the same time, his mind couldn't help but quickly recall the deeds of this Arcane Emperor!
Alchemy Emperor - Lydia Stephen!
Born in the Mage Federation, the eldest daughter of the Stephen family, an ancient alchemist family, she has shown amazing alchemy talent since she was a child, and at the young age of eighteen, she became a high-level alchemist who is close to legend!
She had been silent for three years after becoming a high-ranking alchemist on the edge of legend, but when she reappeared in public, she was already a legendary alchemist!
