Act 309. Real body
Claire was still eating in large chunks, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of the people around her, on the table, the food was genuinely piled up, although it was not as complete as Claire said before, but basically the food on the menu, Reiner ordered a copy, and even alarmed the lobby manager of the restaurant to come to check the situation.
Originally, the lobby manager thought it was the kind of guy who specializes in eating overlord meals, but Reiner took out a gold coin, which quickly changed the lobby manager from doubt to flattering smile, and happily let the waiter serve the food.
Reiner watched Claire gobble up, and he ate something casually, he didn't dare to tell Claire that he had already eaten white-cut chicken, otherwise he would be torn apart by this big stomach.
Just as Claire had eaten a whole roast chicken and was about to make a move on the steak on the table, a man came to their table.
"Reiner. Ian Gray, looks like you're okay. ”
Reiner turned around and realized that it was none other than the High Mage of the Mercury Scale, Eagles. Field.
His Excellency Field, who had dealt with Reiner a few times, had high expectations for the newcomer, and this time he happened to be running errands near Olmster, and he sensed the news of the Hohenheim Gold Cup, so he flew straight here.
"Lord Field."
Reiner hurriedly stood up and saluted, but was quickly stopped by Lord Field.
"Keep it low."
Lord Field pointed to himself, he was not wearing a mage robe with a rank mark, but a normal attire, and it didn't look like he had come here as a high-ranking mage.
"Okay, okay."
Reiner nodded, and then asked the waiter to bring another chair.
"This little lover of yours is having a good time."
Lord Field sat down, looked at the food he was eating, and even ignored Claire here, and smiled.
"Hmm, woo-woo-woo."
Claire still had torn beef in her mouth, and when she heard Lord Field's words, she was a little anxious to explain something, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.
"You swallow and then speak."
Reiner said helplessly, while picking up the napkin on the table and wiping Claire, who still had the sauce on the corner of her mouth.
“...... It's not a lover! ”
Claire hurriedly sped up her chewing, swallowed, and repeated.
It was only then that she noticed that there was one more person, and she whispered to Reiner.
"Who is this?"
"Eagles. Field, High Mage. ”
Reiner replied in a low voice, causing Claire to nearly choke and pour a lot of juice to recover.
"Did you just run into something?"
Lord Field looked Reiner up and down, he was unharmed, and he was having dinner with Claire, if it weren't for the unusual movements, coupled with his understanding of Reiner's person, Field would have wondered if Reiner was playing tricks on him.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I met a member of the Serpent of Chaos, who called himself Sloth, whose name is Ampekos, who wanted to avenge his companion and attacked me."
Reiner said briefly, they didn't have to worry about the people around them eavesdropping, because the moment Lord Field sat down, he had already cast a hinting spell to make the others ignore their table.
"I immediately sent a message with the Hohenheim Gold Cup, and I used magic to deal with it."
He had no intention of concealing it at all, and told Lord Field everything about the situation.
"At this time, a High Mage suddenly appeared, he repelled Ampekos, and then took me to a place where I did not know the location, and the Excellency exchanged magic theories with me, and then sent me back to Olmster."
Hearing Reiner's words, Lord Field nodded slightly.
"What does that Excellency look like?"
He asked.
"Very old, with gray hair, beard, wrinkled face, and a tattered robe, by the way, I saw him once at the annual meeting of the mercury scales, on the shores of Lake Wagner, when he was dressed as a vagabond, and he was kicked out of the tavern."
Reiner said while reminiscing, and there was a little strange in his heart, so it seems that His Excellency the High Mage just now didn't come from the information dish of the Hohenheim Gold Cup, he really just happened to be passing by?
"What theory of magic did he discuss with you?"
Lord Field nodded slightly after hearing Reiner's description, and continued to ask.
"Well, about the use of magic by magic, and why magic is spontaneously attracted to high-level magic, but the Excellency is vague and doesn't say anything valuable."
Reiner was even more puzzled, judging from Lord Field's attitude, it seemed that His Excellency the High Mage was really outside the mercury scales, or even the Magic Association.
After thinking about it carefully, Reiner also found that many of the questions asked by the old man showed that he had not been exposed to the current cutting-edge magic theory for a long time, which was not normal for a high-level mage.
It was as if he had been asleep for years and had only recently woken up.
"By the way, he also mentioned that he has a daughter, but he didn't elaborate."
Reiner didn't dare to make the joke about marrying in front of Claire, he was worried that Claire would just gnaw off his head.
"Lord Field, do you know this Excellency?"
Reiner asked, but this question made Lord Field a little embarrassed, and he thought for a long time before he spoke.
"You can say you know, you can say you don't know."
Lord Field sighed and continued.
"Speaking of which, this is also a mercury scale, no, a wound that the entire High Council does not want to mention."
"What do you mean?"
Reiner had a vague hunch, but still waited for Lord Field's answer.
"Once upon a time, there was a lord who loved and understood magic more than anyone else, and who, together with Pragus, became the cornerstone of modern magic."
Lord Field said, in a long tone, as if from the past.
"His Excellency is obsessed with exploring the nature of magic, he has explored many ancient ruins, and walked hundreds of half-planes, but in the end, His Excellency did not know the truth he was pursuing, or some special existence affected him, or it may be because of the early death of his beloved daughter, in short, he fell into madness, his magical strength was greatly reduced, and he left the High Council, and since then, we have not seen him again."
"Who the hell is this?"
Reiner asked curiously, he didn't even know about such an existence, it was too unreasonable.
"Surely you've heard his name."
Lord Field sighed softly and continued.
"Orioles. Feng. Hohenheim, the founder of the alchemy system, was once one of the legendary mages. ”
