Sylby's eyes widened, and his breathing instantly became heavier, and he took several deep breaths before calming down:

"You... You mean, the queen of Pandora took an entire city as a dowry and wanted to find a husband?"

"Not bad. ”

The fat wizard said drunkenly, and he burped in satisfaction, "I heard that Beatrix I is a peerless beauty who is well-known far and wide, but no one who sees her does not bow down under her pomegranate skirt. ”

As he spoke, he laughed lewdly, as if he was fantasizing about something nasty.

The thin wizard calmed down a little, and he said, "There is also a rumor that the former king of Pandora, the sorcerer Antonio, died of dissatisfaction and exhaustion, and died on the belly of Beatrix I. ”

The fat wizard shouted dissatisfiedly, he raised his head and finished pouring a bottle of wine, and said: "Die on the belly of such a beauty, if it were me, I would be willing, life is too short, God knows if I will die tomorrow, the church is getting stronger and stronger, if you want me to say, it is time to have fun." ”

"Hmph," the thin man snorted disdainfully, "she's going to marry the greatest wizard!

"I'm not, you're again?"

The fat man was happy.

"The two of us combined. ”

The thin man said, "Otherwise, how would we have received a red invitation?"

Fat Man: "Then how do we divide the queen?"

The thin man said vigilantly: "Didn't we discuss it before, one, three, five, to mine, two, four, six." ”

The fat man took a big sip of wine, and asked with red eyes, "What about Sunday?"

Both fell silent, and then a fierce quarrel broke out, insulting each other with the most insulting and contemptuous words, as if they had won the battle of Queen Pandora and had taken the beauty back.

Sylby quickly dissuaded the two from arguing senselessly, and asked, "Since you all want to marry Queen Pandora, what are the selection criteria? ”

"Queen Pandora, having decided to remarry herself, distributed twenty red invitations throughout Europe to the wizards with the greatest potential. He looked proud: "The two of us will receive one, isn't it amazing?"

Red invitations?

He remembered that Slytherin had mentioned it on the first day he had met him, but he hadn't paid attention to it at first.

The Thin Wizard continued, "Whoever has twenty red invitations as quickly as possible can enter the highest palace on the top of the mountain, which is Queen Pandora's bedchamber, and spend the night with her. ”

Can I marry a queen with twenty red invitations?

Sylby's gaze couldn't help but drift to the top of the hill palace again.

Literally, he could smell the gore contained in this rule.

Only one person can marry Queen Pandora.

No wonder so many strange people gathered in Pandora, whether it was Slytherin, the fat two wizards, or the Gryffindors, they all came for this.

But...

The dowry is too rich, a whole city.

Looking at it all the way today, I have completely determined that the value of this city is immeasurable, whether it is its geographical location, strategic location, or its economic value.

Is Queen Pandora a fool?

Sylby soon had new doubts.

However, he didn't share his confusion with his two new wizarding friends.

He ended his inquiries about Pandora City, and began to drink frequently, focusing on the two wizards, and soon, he had a rough idea of the information about the two men.

The fat man's name is Dodoro and the thin man's name is Ratai, both of whom are wizards from the Aquitaine region, who work for a local organization called the Blood Healing Retreat, and make a living by helping others with bloodletting treatments, nicknamed the Bloodthirsty Twins, who come to Pandora after receiving a red invitation.

The fat man was an alcoholic, and he was a drunkard on weekdays, and the thin man was shrewd, but he could not resist Sylbie's enthusiastic and frequent persuasion, and at midnight the two of them fell groggily on the table because they had drunk too much sherry, and fell asleep.

When they had fallen asleep, Sylby's courteous smile vanished without a trace, and he sat down at the messy table with his eyes closed in thought.

From the news of Totaro and Terra, he probably knew the basic composition of the current wizarding society.

They are scattered all over the world, each working for a different organization, or hiding in the forest. Due to the severe crackdown and search by the Catholic Church, there have been fewer and fewer wizards who have gone out in recent years, and even if they do, they have to go through all kinds of disguises.

And in today's environment, there are not many wizards who dare to wander outside and show their heads.

The most famous of these is Godric Gryffindor, a descendant of the three legendary wizard brothers, the Peverell family. Not only is he born with incredible strength, but he also has a high level of magical attainment, and not only that, he often pilots his golden lion ship, speaking out for wandering wizards and denouncing the Holy Roman Empire, and is one of the most prestigious wizards in the world.

I thought of the golden lion-headed ship I had seen during the day, and then of the angry and hateful expression of Slytherin. Sylby could probably guess why the guy didn't come back so late. He must have been upset when he saw Gryffindor, but he was helpless, so he ran to find foreign help, and if his goal was to marry Queen Pandora and become the master of this place, he must defeat Gryffindor, who had the same goal.

His gaze was focused on the tallest tower of the mountain in the distance.

Queen Pandora, Beatrix I.

That's a tempting condition.

But what does this have to do with herself, Sirby thought to himself.

If he wanted to be a king, he only had to stay obediently in the tower that his father had built for him and wait for adulthood, why should he run to such a place, from a noble prince to a lowly slave.

Why bother?

Sylby fell into deep thought.

A secret and ardent desire arose in his mind.

He remembered the dream he had had a month earlier.

In his dream, he saw a white light, and the boy in the white light, his thin body standing on the plain like a mountain, and he couldn't help but want to trample it under his feet and look down on the world.

Some wild cry resounded in his heart again, and he opened his eyes with a shudder, and his eyes became extremely resolute.

He didn't know what the dream and the white light meant, but he had to find it, and for that he had to climb high enough.

......

"What are you doing here?"

The cold questioning pulled him back from his fervent fantasies.

Like a cold wind, the warm Mediterranean summer night suddenly turns into a Siberian ice field of minus 40 degrees.

Sylby shuddered and turned his head away.

The cheap master who had been looking for himself all night was standing behind him at the moment, and his green eyes were full of anger at the moment.

"It's good to drink. His eyes were locked on the empty bottle on the table: "Why didn't I see that you could drink so well?"

Sylby secretly exclaims that he is too hungry for news from the wizarding society, causing him to be fascinated by listening to Totaro and Terra. No, Slytherin must have been looking for a long time to find himself, and as a servant, he was completely derelict in his duties.

Slytherin continued, "Do you know how long I've been looking for you? for a whole hour, when I was in the belly of the snake, I thought you were very good, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. ”

As he spoke, the green snake that Slytherin had planted on Sylby's arm seemed to come to life, and it swam slowly, swimming into the muscles of its arm, biting down on the bone.

Hiss!!

The sharp pain made Sylby shudder, and he stood up with his arms covered, and his forehead immediately began to sweat, and the moody fellow began to punish him without saying a word.

At this moment, many thoughts and excuses came to his mind, but when the words came to his lips, he was forced down by Sylby, he covered his arms and bowed deeply: "Sorry, there is no next time." ”

The pain did not abate.

Salazar Slytherin smiled coldly, sat down at the table, kicked the sleeping Dodoro away, and said in disgust, "Who are these two?"

The obese Tataro fell headlong on the thin bamboo pole-like Terra, and the two of them got up one by one, and scolded through the wine: "Who!?

But when they saw the man in the green wizard's robe in front of them, and the pair of cold green eyes, they suddenly woke up, their faces turned pale, and they were cold from their heads to the soles of their feet.

"S... Lord Slytherin...?"

Thinking of this man's fame and deeds, sweat began to form on their foreheads.

"Todoro... Terra..."

Silby stepped forward slightly, and said hoarsely, "They want to be your friends, and that's why I entertained them." ”

"Oh?"

Slytherin lengthened his voice, and looked at Sylby's eyes a little softer, "Found the door yourself?"

"I heard their conversation, and I took the initiative to find them. ”

"What are you doing on such initiative? Didn't I ask you to wait for me at the tavern?" asked Slytherin aggressively.

The pain immediately intensified, Sylby's nails were almost stuck in the flesh, and he scolded Slytherin for being a pervert, but he couldn't refute it on his face, only bent his waist deeper.

He lowered his head, and the veins on the back of his hand jumped suddenly, and this almost cruel questioning made him very unhappy and humiliated. On the first day after the night owl left, he felt that he needed strength—desperately power, professional power, the power of magic.

"Look up. ”

Slytherin's voice was hoarse and tingeculously seductive.

Sylby looked up.

The thoughts in my heart appeared like words in front of my eyes, and gradually became clear.

He was horrified, Salazar Slytherin was a master of the dark arts, and at the same time a master of the mind, and if there was a distraction in front of him, he would instantly perceive it.

He immediately held his breath and meditated in his heart, closing your brain... Close your brain...

The occlusion technique that stole from the snake's belly took effect, and the words in front of him gradually blurred and eventually dissipated.

At the same time, the pain in his arm dissipated, and Slytherin probably didn't see what he really thought in his heart, so he snorted coldly and withdrew the spell.

He looked much more amused, and then, he picked up the sherry on the table and took a sip before throwing away the glass, "You want to win Gryffindor, don't you?"

This is said to the bloodthirsty twins.

Totaro and Ratai glanced at each other, and the fear in their eyes instantly turned into incredible surprise, "You have a way?"

"There's no rush for now. ”

Slytherin teased, "I have a hunt tonight, and if you can be my eagle dog, I can consider leading you to victory over Gryffindor." ”

"Good!"

The fat man Dodoro did not hesitate to slap his chest: "Don't worry, Lord Slytherin, as long as our brother makes a move, there is nothing that cannot be swept up." ”

"Don't be mistaken. Slytherin coldly extinguished the enthusiasm of the two: "I don't like to cooperate with others, you were recruited by Mr. Spencer, just listen to his arrangement first." ”

The Bloodthirsty Twins suddenly looked confused, and they looked at Sylby and Slytherin in confusion, as if they couldn't figure out the relationship between them.

"What are you going to do?" asked Sylby hoarsely.

"I'll take you to eat some meat. Slytherin patted him on the shoulder and smiled weirdly, "Have some wizarding entertainment." ”
