Chapter 0403 - The Appearance of the Keel Technique (Second Update)
Taking out the potions he had recently stockpiled from the magic workshop, Liszt was ready to continue taking the potions when he returned.
The kitchen of the castle was busy preparing for the banquet, and the butler Carter was about to report on his recent work, but Liszt refused: "I'll talk about it tomorrow, I don't want to talk about work today." ”
He is not a workaholic, he has been fighting for more than a month and just wants to relax and relax.
"Let Mrs. Mawson make me another cup of milk tea, and I'll rest in the study for a while. If last year's saltpeter powder can still be used, make some frozen juice, and if it can't be used, take some crushed ice out of the ice cellar. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
After a while, the milk tea was served, and as for the frozen juice, it would take a while to make.
Liszt suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Elkeson in Flower Town?"
"Mr. Elkeson has come once a week, and if you need it, you can inform the caravan with news of your return. ”
"Help me inform. ”
"Okay. ”
When the frozen juice was brought over, Liszt closed the door of his study and tasted the frozen juice to cool off the heat. It's the hottest month of the year in July, and without ice, life will be full of helplessness. He sat in his rocking chair and shook it, letting his thoughts wander.
Soon, though, I got bored.
Simply took out the soul tank like a teapot from the gem space: "Virginia Truth has been awakened for a long time, and I am too busy with the war to bother to talk to her again. ”
Now that I have some leisure, I just have a good time to talk and let Virginia contribute to the keel technique.
Pouring over the teapot, a wisp of smoke was poured out, forming a human upper body in the blink of an eye, which was none other than the Virginia Truth she had seen before, the ghost with a 36D majesty.
"We're meeting again, Virginia, should I call you Miss Virginia, or Lord Virginia?" said Liszt as he watched Virginia's eyes become clearer.
"It's like having a long, long dream...... This gentleman, you already know who I am, I am the magician of the Goat family, Virginia Truth, who died in an accident. Virginia bowed slightly, then looked at her body, "Was I sealed in the keel before?"
"Yes, I salvaged you from the wreck of a dragoon. Liszt said.
Virginia nodded and said calmly, "I remember that Curtis Truth killed me...... My memory has since been lost, but I think I was stripped of my soul by Curtis Truth and sealed in the keel...... Thank you for freeing me from my sinking, sir. ”
Liszt smiled: "My name is Liszt Tulip, Baron of Flower Town, and I am about to become the Viscount of Dark Horse Island." ”
"Viscount Liszt...... Is the Magic Goat Family okay, my sister Curtis Truth, have you heard of her, she should have unified the Goat Rally...... Is Her Highness Anyut Sapphire alright?" asked Virginia, who had probably thought she had just died.
coughed up.
Liszt couldn't bear to tell the poor lady what had happened to her, but there was no point in deceiving, so he said: "The Magic Goat Family, about a hundred years ago, was exterminated by the third Sapphire Grand Duke because of their participation in a palace coup. ”
"What?"
The magician composed of smoke and light trembled, and the light flickered and flickered.
Just when Liszt thought she was going to faint again and retract into the soul tank, her body finally stabilized, but her tone was still uncertain: "More than a hundred years ago?
"I don't need to deceive you, you're just a remnant soul living in my soul tank, and in fact I don't have much curiosity about what happened more than a hundred years ago. The Magic Goat Family is like a ship sinking into the sea, and if it hadn't suddenly collided, no one would have known about it. ”
"More than a hundred years...... No one remembers...... This ......" Virginia took a few breaths hard, even in her soul state, she could still clearly see the violent rise and fall of her chest, "I'm sorry, Viscount Liszt, I ...... There was a gaffe, I didn't know I had been sleeping for a hundred years. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
"Can you tell me what happened to the Magic Goat Family, if you knew? ”
This is not too much to ask, and Virginia, who is in a state of soul, is also a good person to talk to, you can talk to her about that past, and after getting acquainted, she just got the keel technique: "In order to help His Royal Highness Anyut, your sister Curtis, and Marquis Cohen decided to take the life of the dragon gem dragon." ”
"They want to turn His Highness Anyut into a Dragon Lord?"
"Yes, but it fell short, and was discovered by the second generation of the Grand Duke, who personally took action to destroy the Magic Goat Family, and the second generation of the Grand Duke was also injured in battle and abdicated to the third generation of the Grand Duke of Gongan...... By the way, is Anditt Anyut's older brother or younger brother?"
"Brother. ”
"Three generations of Grand Dukes banished Anyut's soul, and your sister probably escaped, and instead of taking revenge, she studied the lich experiments, eventually transforming herself into a lich, and sacrificing the lives of a large number of mages and commoners, making the Goat into a ghost ship and sailing to the land of exile. ”
"Lich...... Ghost Ship ...... Exile ......," Virginia muttered to herself, "she is truly a terrible woman, and because of her love, the whole family has been buried for her." ”
"This is just a superficial piece of information that I know, so, as Curtis's sister, can you tell me about the situation at that time?"
Virginia nodded, her gaze lost in remembrance.
After a while, he slowly spoke, telling the story of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire more than a hundred years ago - it was a prosperous era, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire was booming in shipping, and the Magic Goat family was following the trend.
Following the Sapphire family's development of the three-masted sailing ship, the Magic Goat family developed the keel setting technology and gave birth to the Goat Gathering, an organization of magicians. Originally, the purpose of the Goat Gathering was to train magicians for the family and participate in the production of dragon and beast sailboats.
"My father is Cohen Magic Goat, the Marquis of the Grand Duchy, Curtis is my cousin, she grew up with me, her magical talent is the pride of the family, and she has been a great magician since the age of sixteen...... Her love affair with His Royal Highness Anyut was blessed by everyone. ”
Virginia's voice was low and ethereal: "And I am just an inconspicuous one in the family, marriage and shipbuilding are probably all my life...... I never left the City of a Thousand Sails, where I grew up, lived, and worked, and studying magic was my happiest time, until one day, Curtis came. ”
"She told all of us to stop what we were doing to cooperate with her in some cruel experiments, and she asked us to secretly study the Sapphire Dragon...... We didn't want to, and my teacher expelled her from the goat rally...... She bloodied us disobedient, and I can't imagine that she would do anything to me. ”
And then.
Virginia's story is over, and she's dead.
"So, you're going to settle on the keel technique?" asked Liszt.
"Yes. ”
