Chapter VIII The Duke

The stern questioning seemed to sweep up a cold winter wind, enveloping the scene.

Olli and the others, who were on the sidelines, apparently understood the woman's authority as well as the others, and were so frightened that they almost held their breath. Secretly pay attention to the guests outside the circle here, and some also pinch a cold sweat for Her Royal Highness the Princess. Some suddenly turned a cold eye, some gloated, no matter which side they were on, all of them stopped talking or lowered their voices at this moment, intentionally or unintentionally.

The originally cheerful space seemed to be blocked by Audrey's majesty. Even the sounds of dance bands playing were muffled and incoherent.

Under this kind of power, Chongyang's expression was still calm, and the corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly. It always shows that he is not as calm as he seems. He didn't know who the most expensive lady with the body of a standard model was, but the nervousness and jealousy conveyed by Her Royal Highness the princess beside him by holding his arm was enough for him to understand the seriousness of the matter.

What should come always has to come, and what should be faced must always be faced.

"Answer me, Roseari. Audrey saw that the other party was slow to speak, and added aggressively. The cold look in his eyes was even more prevalent.

Roseali clenched the man's arm and opened her lips to say something. You can face opponents who look down on you. For a while, I felt like I couldn't make a sound.

Aware of her gaffe, she tried her best to overcome the coldness that had reached her heart, repeating the hints to cheer herself up, frowning between her brows. The head lifted slightly, and he took a slow, deep breath.

"Ann"

"Antonio @ Rennes, I killed it. ”

When Roseali was mentally prepared, carrying up her pride, and holding her head high to say the answer. A faint voice beside him sounded first. Succinctly, steadily, compose a sentence that can be called a shocking sentence.

Silence, sudden silence.

It was as if time had stopped. Olli and the others, as well as all the guests around them, stiffened their expressions and demeanors in unison. Everyone who pretends to talk, pretends to talk and laughs, or pays attention to this change openly or covertly, has at least a few seconds. It becomes like a wax museum exhibit.

Even Audrey's narrow eyes widened slightly at the sudden answer.

In the shocking silence, she turned her head and shifted her gaze from the imperial princess to the face of the dark-haired youth.

Chongyang immediately felt the pressure, not only from the invisible majesty of the other party, but also from the profound strength that the other party had!

"Magical cultivation has reached the peak level of mysteries. He made a judgment in his heart.

An arcane-level mage above the realm level. From low to high, it is generally divided into Elementary, Intermediate, and Top Levels, but this is only a very broad statement.

Generally speaking, the realm and the Buddha are refining the "Demon Vortex" in the body, and after being promoted to the higher level, they will further cultivate and comprehend the power of space at a deeper level. Condensing a "magic bead" on the basis of the "magic spin" is to be promoted to the primary level of mystery.

And then continue to practice, condense more than three "magic beads", and the magician is the intermediate level of the mystery. Condensed more than six pieces, it is the top of the mystery.

The more "magic beads" are condensed in the body, the higher the magic level of the mage, and the stronger the power can be exerted.

Theoretically, the number of arcane-level "magic beads" that can be condensed is unlimited! In other words, in theory, the arcane-level magicians can increase their strength indefinitely. But it is practically impossible to do this.

For the average mystical top magician, all the "magic beads" are seven to nine, so compared with the wide distribution of the top in junior high school, there are probably three "magic beads" at one level.

With the majority of the "magic beads" in the same level, it is possible to subdivide the mysteries into more subdivisions, but that is too cumbersome, and it is difficult to objectively determine how many "magic beads" there are in a mystical mage in reality, so a simple division method similar to the domain level is widely adopted.

Compared with the realm stage, the situation of arcane-level magicians is undoubtedly more complicated, and the requirements for spatial power comprehension are higher, and the difference in strength that magicians in the same level may have is even greater.

Not much to say about the primary and intermediate levels, when it comes to the top level of the mysteries, the lower level is the seven "magic beads", and the high level is nine, even ten, eleven, and twelve, although it is impossible to achieve the unlimited condensation in the theory, but there are always peak mages who have cultivated to more than nine mysteries.

Chongyang concluded that Audrey was such a peak mage of the mysteries! Because he had absorbed the heavenly potion, he felt from the fluctuation of his magic power that was extremely close to the failure of the Holy Spirit. If you change to a mage who doesn't have a deep understanding of magic levels, it wouldn't be strange to mistake Audrey for a Holy Spirit mage.

Regardless of her status, background, status. But at this point, it's already amazing.

You must know that all the Holy Spirit-level Magic Stones that Chongyang currently knows, Elder Richard, Professor Andre, etc., are all old men.

And the lady in front of her, who has a power comparable to that of the Holy Spirit Mage, is estimated to be no more than thirty years old!

"You said Neo killed you?"

Audrey looked at Chongyang and said word by word.

"Yes. Chongyang's expression was awe-inspiring,-for-tat, and he did not retreat but advanced in the face of the pressing momentum. Try to protect the beautiful people around you behind you.

There is a saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and ignorance is meaningless. He realized from all signs that this woman was not simple, but after all, he didn't know who Audrey @Wren was, but he could stay calm more naturally than the princess of the empire.

Roseali was stunned from hearing the words from Yang taking the initiative to top the cylinder, and did not wake up until she was further protected by Chongyang behind her to share most of the pressure. She subconsciously turned her head and saw the calm and resolute side face of the black-haired young man, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.

"No!"

The negative words blurted out involuntarily, and in the next second, Roseali reflexively grabbed in front of Chongyang, almost close to Audrey, and said sharply, "Antonio was finished by me!"

This remark, which was close to a shout, made almost half of the guests in the venue suddenly quiet down. More people are aware of what is happening and gradually stop talking and laughing.

A strange look flashed in Audrey's eyes.

Before she could speak again, a man dressed in a black and red formal dress stepped out of the quiet crowd of guests.

"Princess Roseali, it is not polite to make a loud noise at this time...... Are you almost ready to start giving a speech about the victory of the convention?"

The man in the black and red suit said with a big smile. He has short, crisp brown hair. He wore a national ribbon with a peculiar emblem like a golden wasp on his forehead, his eyes were orange with a rare orange color for the Empire, he was burly, his skin was dark, and he opened his mouth to speak with a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

"Cousin Clarence......" Roseali saw the person and immediately said the other person's name.

"Do you remember me?" said the royal man named Clarence, a little surprised that the Imperial Princess could say her name right away.

"The last time we saw each other was a long time ago, when you were a sweet little girl. Clarence walked up to Roseali, smiling and gesturing to her chest.

"In a blink of an eye, the lovely girl has grown into a beautiful and beautiful princess, and she has won the rare victory of the Three Kingdoms! ”

He made a little joke, although it was not very good, but his gentle and hearty demeanor and tone quickly eased the atmosphere of the frozen scene. Many of the guests laughed cooperatively.

Audrey still looked bad, but she saw Clarence appear, a look of surprise on her face, and a hint of jealousy.

Clarence spoke to Roseali. Then he turned to the distinguished lady next to him.

"Audrey, it's been a long time since I've seen you, your fiancΓ©...... Didn't Mr. Danielle, who is often close to you, come with you?"

Once again, the scene was shocked.

The rich associations born from this word made everyone present pause in their thinking, including Chongyang's face, which showed a dull look.

Audrey, who had a cold face, seemed to have been hit by a critical point, and her eyebrows trembled violently, and the majesty that had been maintained so far collapsed almost instantly.

Just when Chongyang and many others thought that she would be mad at Clarence in the next second, what they saw was a very complicated color flashing in her eyes, and she stared at the smiling man in front of her for a while, and slowly eased her expression.

"Dani has something to do today...... Unable to attend. Audrey whispered, her delicate face slightly tilted, and she cleverly concealed the expression on her face with the strands of hair that hung down to her face.

The atmosphere of the scene became a little weird and straightforward. Chongyang saw that the noble lady who was forming a strong suppression of Rosyali and himself had a polite and polite conversation with the cheerful man who had come out of the round, and it took some effort to come back to his senses.

Before he could think about anything, Her Royal Highness the princess beside him grabbed his arm, hinting that he would take this opportunity to seek escape.

They made an excuse to separate from Audrey and Clarence, and they were all visibly unhappy. But the latter entangled her, and before she could say anything, he simply and neatly let the younger generation such as Chongyang and Rosyali get out of ***.

The crowd walked briskly through the crowd of guests to the side of the venue and to the rest area.

"Thankfully, Master Clarence stepped in to solve the situation. Ollie breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sense of relief.

"I didn't expect it to be this adult...... Although I had known him for a long time, this was the first time I had met him. Xia Zuo said next to him.

"Well, it's also the first time I've seen him, and it is said that he is the most mysterious one in the royal family of the last Lunzong, and it is rare to see him appear at banquets. Yarlin touched his chin and said, "It's already surprising to be able to see him, and I didn't expect that I would be so kind, and I took the initiative to contain Duke Audrey for Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mr. Chongyang......"

Chongyang, who was listening silently beside him, was startled, and his eyebrows raised.

"Audrey Wren is the youngest duchess in the history of the Empire. Roseali looked at the black-haired young man, frowned, and explained with subtlety in her eyes.

"She is the most famous magical genius in the previous generation of the royal family of the Tower Sect, and she is closely related to Prince Dinan's family, and can even be said to be half of Antonio's magician. ”

"You don't know anything, and you dare to say things like 'I killed Antonio' in front of her, not bravery, but arrogance that borders on death. ”

After digesting the shocking information, Chongyang smiled bitterly at the imperial princess.

"Didn't you say that too? Your Highness?"

"So you still remember that I am 'Your Highness'" Rosyali gave him a blank look, "I'm a royal princess, so I need you to put a head on the tank for me?"
