Chapter 6: The Five Dukes
Today is the annual magic palace meeting of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and the king also announced that Princess Pingyang will also attend today, everyone knows what it means, how can they miss the opportunity to befriend the king.
And it is said that Princess Pingyang showed a strong talent for magic at a young age, and at the same time she was a standard little beauty.
If this can win the praise of the king and Princess Pingyang, the position of the nobles can be consolidated for decades.
An Dakang, the duke of Xuanwu Kingdom, inherited the duke title of Xuanwu Kingdom for generations, and his status is quite high, but it is said that An Pingrui is a magical waste, what a pity!
However, between the nobles, it is not so on the surface, you come and go, the wind and waves are calm, and the water in this is very deep.
Outside the gates of the Temple of Magic
The nobles went in and out, it was so lively, after all, they were all looking forward to their children being able to shine in this magic hall meeting, and then the knighthood or something went further.
However, the harmonious scene is not always there, and there are always a few people who always want to jump out and get in the way of Andakang's eyes.
"Yo yo yo, isn't this Lord An, why did you come to this magic hall this year!"
Isn't this nonsense? As the Duke of the Kingdom, I didn't come for a year???
An Dakang looked at the person in front of him, with a big long face, two eyes looking in all directions, wearing a black cloak, and the exclusive badge of the great magician pinned to his chest, which was printed with the certification of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the standard magician style.
"Duke Chris, where are you talking about!You and I, as the dukes of the Xuanwu Kingdom, how can we not come to such a grand scene?" An Dakang looked at the man in the black cloak in front of him.
There are five dukes in the Xuanwu Kingdom, and Andakang is a family of magic, and the family has passed on the title of magic for generations.
And An Pingrui went to steal the lotus pool, which was Duke Zhou's family, and was the only one of the five dukes who rose to the duke title by virtue of his status as a warrior.
This shows the status of the warrior!!
However, the five dukes usually don't communicate much, except for Duke An's Mansion and Duke Zhou's Mansion, because An Pingrui likes to steal lotus flowers, so the two have been in contact recently.
One is to avoid the suspicion of the king.
The second is that the dukes are all arrogant people, who wants to have more dealings with you.
Especially the other two dukes of ice and fire, except for the king's major meetings, they basically can't see anyone.
Duke Chris, who is in Andakang's mouth, is one of them.
This person has always been filled with an uncomfortable aura of Andakang, but he can't say what's wrong.
The greetings between the two of them, unfamiliar with each other, thought they were old friends they hadn't seen for a long time, how could they not understand the cynicism in them?
"That's right, Duke Andakang's family has worked hard for the Xuanwu Kingdom for generations and obtained the title of Duke of Chuanguo, which is really enviable, but in the future, be careful that your Duke of Chuanguo will not be guaranteed!"
Duke Chris said such ill-intentioned words with a smile on his face, which obviously has something in it.
The eldest young master of Duke Andakang's family is a magical waste, which has long been spread in the aristocratic circle, and An Pingrui is also a gentleman who is not accepted by the nobles, and it has become a joke for a while.
How will a waste who doesn't know magic inherit the duke of a magical family in the future???
Andakang also understood the meaning of Chris's words, and replied with a smile.
"This doesn't bother Duke Chris, although my son can't do magic now, but who knows what will happen in the future?
Speaking of An Pingrui, An Dakang is still happy and proud, who said that if you can't magic, you can't inherit the title, what is Zhou Yinwu?
Zhou Yinwu did not rely on military merits to become the only Duke of Wu in Xuanwu Kingdom???
Besides, An Pingrui has been smart since he was a child, although he is a little naughty, but after which accident did he suffer a loss? This point must be carried forward, and only if he does not suffer a loss can he mix with the aristocratic circle in the future!!
"Hahahaha! If you still want to learn from Duke Zhou, then you can't wait to enter the coffin!"
Chris was even happier when he thought of this, seeing that Andakang had long been unpleasant, and now there was no successor, and there was one less strong opponent.
The feud between Andakang and Chris has long been known in the aristocratic circle, there are too many things in it, and there are many things involved, so the king will turn a blind eye and wait to see how things develop.
An Dakang smiled and didn't speak, no way, who makes people confident.
Chris looked at Andakang's deflated appearance at this time, and waved his hand behind him, intending to continue to suppress Andakang's psychological defense.
"Kevis, come, I've seen Duke An!"
A boy wearing a magic cloak that symbolizes his status as a magician walks out from behind Chris.
Kweis, the eldest son of Duke Chris, is said to be a magical genius, and at the age of nine, he possessed a huge magical origin.
Coupled with the powerful resources in Duke Chris's mansion, he may have come into contact with the threshold of magic.
"I've seen Duke Ann!" the little boy in the magic cloak performed a magician-like ritual to Andakang.
An Dakang, who was in the Demon Sect Realm, felt the breath of this little boy, and he also felt incredible.
Speaking of which, An Dakang, who was in his thirties, broke through to the Demon Sect Realm ten years ago, that is, the year An Pingrui was born, An Dakang always thought that his son brought him good luck, and this was the breakthrough.
However, after An Pingrui was found to be depleted of the magic source, An Dakang regretted it a little, suspecting that he had absorbed An Pingrui's magic source in the first place, and felt guilty.
Therefore, Andakang is extremely tolerant and doting on An Pingrui.
Sure enough, Kvis had actually reached the level of a beginner magician.
Ten years old.
It is only when the source of magic is awakened is usually started.
And the magic road is the most talented.
Some people rely on their strong magical talents to easily enter the ranks of magicians.
And some people have been poor all their lives, but they have only touched the threshold of magicians.
Warlock!
It's not too much to say that he is an apprentice of magic.
A magician is a magician who completely breaks through the wizard stage in order to be called a magician, and anyone who enters the stage of a magician is basically not an ordinary character.
This is also the reason why magic is revered.
At the same time, only the big family can provide the huge resources that the magician needs to cultivate!!
"Congratulations, you have a baby son, there is a successor, there is a successor!" An Dakang looked at the little boy in front of him and had to praise sincerely.
Although Andakang is very unhappy with Chris, but for the kingdom to produce a strong man, what is it to have a mere heirloom.
Besides, An Pingrui is not bad!!
At this point, Andakang doesn't know where the confidence comes from, anyway!
Chris looked at Andakang, who was full of confidence, and felt unhappy, and the suppression he said was good but it didn't work.
"Hmph, Andakang, let's see, I believe in the praise of the king and Princess Pingyang today, I have it!" After saying that, Chris took his son and walked towards the magic hall.
......
The Magic Temple meeting is about to start, and at this moment, Andakang is still waiting anxiously outside the door for An Pingrui.
"Daddy, where am I here!!" An Pingrui hurriedly ran over, his mouth constantly panting, and waved his hand at An Dakang, who had been waiting outside the door of the Magic Temple for a long time.
"Haha, Pingrui is coming! If you don't come, Daddy will die in a hurry!" said Andakang smiled, as if he would never have anything to worry about.
Who knows how much inner darkness will be hidden under the harmless appearance of humans and animals.
