Led by two female guards, Wright and Cecilia enter the political center of the Kuril Province, the Mermaid Castle.

Because of the grand ceremony a few days later, the Mermaid Castle was not solemn at this moment, but was full of joy.

There are all kinds of beautiful and cheerful decorations, the stone pillars carved in reliefs are covered with shells, and the guards and maids of the castle are also dressed in full costume.

"Maui, congratulations on getting married!" Soon, Wright and Cecilia meet Maui.

Wright and Maui haven't seen each other for several years, and the two even feel like they are separated from each other, after all, ten years ago, Maui and Wright were still students in the academy, like flowers in a greenhouse. And now, Wright is already the general of the Empire's elite legion, and Maui became one of the ten dukes of the Empire last year.

Of course, as a side branch of the Gaskell family, he can hold the position of this duke, on the one hand, it is naturally a marriage, and on the other hand, it is also related to his ability and skill, and his identity as a magician who is proficient in alchemy.

The three of them wanted to give gifts, but not before.

"Puff~" "Haha~" "Chirp~"

"Maui, what kind of outfit are you?" No wonder the three of them thought it was funny, Maui's outfit at this time was very strange. The clothes he wore were very fat, Maui's shorter and thin figure was dressed like a child in the clothes of an adult, and there was a huge cloak on his back like a huge strange bird, covered with colorful feathers, and his pants were diamond-shaped patterns, like fish scales. The hat on his head, or outfit, is similar to that of Electric's, and it should be modeled after the head feathers of the Thundercloud Peng Eagle.

"Tradition, this is tradition!" Mao Yi waved his hand helplessly, and said to his friend: "You don't know, the residents of our Qiandao Province generally worship Peng Diao and Giant Kun, and it's usually just that, I'm about to get married, and I have to wear this traditional costume on formal occasions these days." ”

Wright and Cecilia stopped laughing and offered their respective gifts.

While normally the gift should be given to the guard or attendant at the time of entry, it may be better to give it directly to Maui based on Wright and Maui's friendship.

Wright sent a staff inlaid with a ninth-level fire-type demonic beast crystal nucleus. The magic core originated from a 'Flame Demon Turtle' with ninth-level strength, which was hunted by Wright in the Sunset Mountains, and then bought from the auction of precious wood, as for the mosaic and depiction of the magic array, it was found that she was looking for her sister Betty, and now her alchemy level is quite good.

And the relationship between Cecilia and Maui is relatively estranged, and the gift given is a set of more precious alchemy equipment, which is also worth more than 100,000 gold coins, which can be regarded as the best level that can be bought normally on the market, and the more high-quality ones can only be seen at auction.

"Chirp~" Electric looked at the gifts given by the two, and was a little dumbfounded for a while, it was not prepared, and then thought for a while, and plucked off his two feathers in pain.

Maui didn't say much and just accepted it.

"This staff is good, thank you Third Brother!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law, this set of equipment is really good, but unfortunately I don't have much time to study alchemy!"

"Well, Elek, you're so distracted, two feathers... Forget it, even if it's the feathers of the mutated Peng eagle, it's very commemorative. ”

"Chirp~~~"

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, but Maui was also very busy as the host, so he asked the waiter to arrange a room for the two of them, and asked him to prepare some food for Elek, and then turned around and left to receive other visitors.

Lying in the guest room of the Mermaid Castle, Cecilia lay in Wright's arms and said with some emotion: "Wright, your old classmate has changed a lot, I remember that he used to like alchemy very much, and he also jumped out of it very much." ”

"Yes, yes!" Wright couldn't help but touch his nose: "I still remember the first time I met Maui, that kid is very stupid!" And at that time, the four of us brothers walked around the academy together, and saw the deeds of those seniors in the academy, and the three of us all said that they wanted to become great sanctuary powerhouses in the future, but Maui said that he wanted to become a great alchemist, and even tinkered with alchemy equipment in the dormitory, which scared us to join forces to suppress him. ”

"Later, about twelve years ago? I came back from the Sunset Mountain Trials, well, that's when we met! ”

At this, Cecilia's face flushed slightly.

"Hmph, you remember!"

"Of course I do!"

"Hey, when I went back after that time, I heard that Maui was engaged, and it was said that he was married to the two eldest ladies of their Gaskell family, and I was very surprised that time, he was half a year younger than me."

But I didn't expect that his marriage would drag on for twelve years. But it's probably because the pressure of being the Duke of Mermaid Castle is too much, and Maui's personality is getting more and more calm, which is also a good thing. In the past, I remember that he was the least careless in our dormitory in terms of cultivation, and now he is already a fifth-level magician. ”

The two chatted casually, and slowly it was getting late.

In another hidden room in the Mermaid Castle, Maui slowly sat down on a chair with an old woman.

"Okay, little Maui, I'm a Sanctuary strong, ahem, I'm not that vulnerable."

"Ancestor, there's no other way around your curse!"

"Okay, Maui, don't think too much about it, I'm afraid that only the Pope of the Holy See of Light can lift the curse of Hamlin! But I will never allow the so-called 'believers of the Lord' to extend their hand to the Kuril Province!" The Kuril Province can only be the domain of our Gasker family. As the old woman spoke, a hint of anger flashed between her eyebrows, causing Maui to stiffen.

Soon, however, the old woman found out about Maui's condition and relented.

"It's hard for you, Elena, Elinda and you two little guys, the three of you should have gotten married five years ago, and now maybe we will run away next Duke Gaskel!" The old woman looked kind and teased Maui.

"Ancestor!" Maui could only smile bitterly at the moment, "Can we invite enough strong people this time?" Hamlyn ... According to the information we have gathered, he is a strong man at the peak of the Holy Domain, and there are also a huge number of transformation monsters, so his strength is not weak! ”

"Of course I know he's not weak!" The old woman made a straight face, "If he is weak, how can he escape under the joint efforts of me and Xiao Hei, and release the curse on me!" ”

"But don't worry, this time I will take the opportunity of your marriage and the inheritance of the duke's title to invite at least three Sacred Domain powerhouses, and behind some of the visitors, there must also be Sacred Domain powerhouses."

"For example, your friend Wright, in fact, as far as I know, he now has a strength comparable to that of the weakest Sanctuary! And the lord behind him, if he can be invited, there is no problem in killing Hamlin. ”

"Is that so?" Maui was stunned for a moment, "Ancestor, why don't I talk to him, my relationship with Wright, maybe he can invite his teacher." ”

"Okay, no, even if this friend of yours is willing, the person behind him may not be willing to make a move, after all, Hamlin still has a lot of connections."

"Besides, that old guy is here too!" Saying this, a smile appeared on the old woman's face, "That old fellow is really ruthless, if it weren't for my death, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come back from the Arctic ice field!" ”

"That old guy's strength is no worse than Hamlin's, and if you hire a few more helpers, Hamlin will die."

After dinner, Wright and Cecilia walked arm-in-arm on the beach. The Mermaid Castle also has a part near the sea, the beach is well kept, the fine white sand, the salty sea breeze, and the bright moonlight starry sky make for a very wonderful picture.

Suddenly, a voice came: "Wright, can you come and talk to me alone?" A voice rang out, and Wright looked up at Maui, dressed in a strange coat, with two glasses of cider in his hands. Wright gave Cecilia a look, and Cecilia reluctantly let go of her hand, glared at Maui fiercely, and left alone, intending to pat and feed Elek.

"What's so secret, Maui!" Maui's eyes lit up, and Wright was already beside him.

"I didn't expect your strength to reach this point!" Maui sighed with emotion, "Almost twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and you are really strong and terrible now." ”

"Maui, just say whatever you want!" Wright patted Maui on the shoulder, "With our relationship, we don't need to think too much. ”

Looking into Wright's eyes, Maui took a deep breath and told Wright about the current situation of the Gaskell family, and Wright's face gradually changed from indifferent to a little surprised.
