On March 17th, the weather was clear.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly pulled up in the Crusay neighborhood.

The horses are purebred horses from the Morga steppes, with bright coat and full muscles. The dark red tarpaulins on both sides of the carriage are also embroidered with delicate wand family crests - undoubtedly a carriage from the Clark family.

The carriage stopped, and out of it came a young man, thin and slender, dressed in a pure black robe, wearing a hat, alone. After getting out of the car, he took off his hat and handed it to the servant who had been waiting for a long time next to him.

Mu Yan glanced at it casually and found that the servant's steps were steady, his eyes were resolute, and there was a faint explosive force in his body.

As a necromancer, he is extremely sensitive to the vitality of individuals, and it is not difficult to tell from this that this guy in front of him is at least a pine swordsman (level 20-30).

It's really worthy of the Clark family, and the doormen are all of this level.

As staunch adherents of the theory of descent, the Clark family is also a great believer in the goddess Ikali. They firmly believe that "the ability to perceive the magic web flows in the blood", and there is actually a subtext in this sentence - since the ability to cast spells comes from the bloodline, then going back to a long, long time ago, where did the blood in the bodies of the first mages come from?

Mia created the world, intelligent life human beings from one of the three old gods, which everyone knows. So obviously...... This special ability is also given by God, and as for which god it is, at first there were different opinions, but now they are gradually unified.

So if you think about it, the theory of descent is essentially an implication of faith, which denies the process of "knowing and learning" and equates magic with divine gifts.

It's not hard to imagine how many followers Ikari would be able to gather if the Elemental Towers spread across the Plains of the Horse Plain and spread the bloodline to the world, and then Ikali would perform miracles and become mages under the guise of "God giving God blood to become mages......

It's a pity that she can't do this, and even because of Garden's intervention, she can't let Isu and Ral use force to conquer humanity, and can only use the Elemental Tower to eat away at the faith of humans little by little.

……

Stepping into the door, Mu Yan was led by the waiter to the living room.

In the spacious living room, there was a lot of noise, half men and half women, and the well-dressed nobles gathered in twos and threes, and with the arrival of Mu Yan, the noise suddenly lowered a lot, and almost everyone looked over and whispered.

Mu Yan didn't have stage fright at all, and probably swept around, but was surprised to find that none of these people could handle it.

The intelligence leader Ricky showed him the information of these nobles, coupled with his knowledge of Jialan City, he could pat his chest and say: In the 777 year of the faith calendar, he could not find a nobleman he didn't know.

That's all there is to be – but that's where the surprise comes from.

Some of the people in this group did not meet the Clark family's invitation criteria.

In other words, the grade is too low.

Although they are also in the Franco-blue aristocratic circle, most of them are in the second and third ranks, and there are even those who are not in the stream...... Can you imagine the Oscars red carpet full of domestic fresh meat? (hmm...... It seems that throwing money at it can also be realized)

Then it is clear that this group of people has been brought in to make up the numbers and decorate the façade, and the real dinner place is not here, or rather, this is the test set by Duke Clark for him.

When the waiter walked away, Mu Yan spread out his perception and shrouded everyone in it without a trace.

Soon, he noticed a few wisps of contempt and playfulness, and his heart suddenly became clear.

Decrypt the game......

Oh, it's really a question to give.

"Xia Mu, turn on the smart machine mode." He called out in his heart.

However, the stone sank into the sea.

"Summer—uh-huh......"

He suddenly remembered that both repositories had been left in the underground crystals by himself...... Let's do it yourself.

He took a bottle of red wine from the plate of a passing waiter, rubbed the wall of the glass lightly with his thumb, and a drop of pale red wine spilled into the air and dissipated in an instant.

Elemental sheaths gradually spread across the perception line, and the four-colored elements flowed back and forth, and when the water element appeared, there was a slight movement in a certain direction.

It's temperature, the temperature that is not traceable.

There are slight changes in the temperature on the floor.

Mu Yan walked straight to the other side, and when he passed a pillar, the whole person had disappeared.

The timing he had chosen was a moment when no one in the hall was paying attention to him, and by the time the curious lady returned to her searching gaze, he was gone.

And the original few wisps of contempt and playfulness turned into panic and surprise one by one.

……

Walking through the fake wall, Mu Yan felt a wave of heat coming.

In front of you is a hot spring with a misty white mist.

Fa Lan City is cold, even colder than Morning Star. The Black Thorn Forest is also dominated by cedars along the blue border, and the famous Misty Valley of Lubecca is a famous tourist destination for its cedars and cold white mist. As a result, most of the noble buildings in the city were inscribed with thermostatic circles.

As one of the six-member council, the Clark family naturally would not use such low-level means.

In front of him was the underground hot spring made by the mages of the Clark family, the steaming hot water flowed like blood in the high walls, warming every corner of the castle, Mu Yan didn't feel strange after coming in because this new robe from Eliel had a thermostatic enchantment, so he didn't notice the subtle changes in temperature.

(At this point, Ricky is right, wizards' handy methods do dull them.) ）

In other words, this is the heart of the castle, the heart of the blood.

The 20-meter-square hot spring is located in the middle of an open-air courtyard, and the white air is vigorous, and four figures can be seen soaking in the haze.

The maids who walked back and forth along the edge were all small and lovely, all of them were wearing pure white translucent gauze robes, and the buds on their chests were faintly visible, and even the grass under them was occasionally exposed......

It is really a luxurious and attractive aristocratic life.

Seeing Mu Yan appear, a handsome silver-haired man who couldn't tell his age stood up and clapped his hands gently.

"It's worthy of Mr. Mu Yan, who can solve the puzzle so quickly."

Mu Yan sneered in his heart, what kind of puzzle is it...... But on the surface, it is still polite.

"Lord Duke, I also took a lot of effort."

During the greetings between the two, the maids came over and wanted to change clothes for Mu Yan. Mu Yan waved his hand, and an invisible wall of wind gently pushed the other party away, and he took off his clothes cleanly and sat in the hot spring.

His appearance without stage fright made Guy Clark a little suspicious, and he originally wanted to use the contact of the opposite sex to mess up the young man in front of him.

Mu Yan was looking at the other people in the pool at this time.

In comparison, these men did not have the shapely figure of Mr. Gain, and they fully interpreted the luxury and corruption of the aristocracy.

Through the white mist, it is not difficult to see that the skin of these nobles is very well maintained—although they are all about fifty years old, they do not look old at all. Even if you sit in the hot springs, your greasy belly and black chest hair are clearly visible.

Each of them wore a number of rings on their fingers, and the magic brilliance was obscured by the hazy water vapor, but the magic fluctuations that the rings vaguely emitted could not deceive people.

It seems that these are the guests invited by Gain, but the relationship with the Duke is limited to superficial allies, otherwise he would not be so worried about him, and he will not forget to wear a ring when he goes into the water.

Seeing Mu Yan looking over, several people also introduced themselves.

"Frank Perez."

This is Barry Perez's father, Mu Yan couldn't help but look up and down a few times. He couldn't figure out how such a fat man with a short stature could give birth to a guy like Barry's beast body......

"Chloe Toure."

Samuel's father, like Samuel, has a pair of gloomy eyes, and his face can vaguely see what he looked like when he was young, barely a handsome guy who is evil, but he lost to the fat on his cheeks.

"Ron Garcia."

Counting the seniority, this is also Professor Dawn's nephew, but the professor has no contact with the Garcia family all year round, and his relationship with the professor is probably not as good as Mu Yan.

With the addition of Guy Clark, there are four in the spa, all of whom are strong supporters of the descent theory.

Coupled with the surnames William and Carter, it is the original appearance of the Council of Six.

At the beginning of Morningstar's establishment, they created the Mage Guild, and then with the Association as the main body, many mages and their vassals split from Morningstar, and by the way, they also established a Council of Six, which is above the king of Jialan.

"The dog is taken care of by Teacher Mu Yan."

Mr. Frank said this very hard, and even in the steaming hot spring, Mu Yan could feel the coldness in the other party's mouth.

It seems that a nobleman is being ridiculed a lot these days, and the lethality of this ridicule is really better than everything.

"The responsibility of a tutor is to make up for the mistakes of family education, and it is my honor to let Ling Lang grow." Mu Yan smiled and scowled.

"I very much agree with you, Master Barry's homeschooling is indeed a bit bad." Samuel's father, the Duke of Toure, never gave up an opportunity to run on an old rival. "Young people who lack discipline tend to be too righteous, act impulsively, and behave in a way that is too self-conscious, but in fact very childish, and Duke Perez needs to pay more attention to this."

Saying that, he glanced at Mu Yan without a trace.

"Sorry, I don't think so. If young people blindly pursue old age and calmness, they must be gloomy in their hearts when they reach middle age, and they are not used to looking at clean, simple, and enthusiastic people and things, but feel that they are naïve. Do you say so, Lord Duke? ”

"Hehe......"

After a brief exchange, several people stopped talking with fake smiles.

Duke Clark coughed lightly, signaled for silence, and then went straight to the point.

"Actually, I invited His Excellency Mu Yan here today to talk about something."

"Please."

"Teacher Mu Yan has just arrived in Falan City, and he may not know much about the situation of Jialan Academy. There are some things that Principal William cannot tell Your Excellency, and as his friend for many years, I can only convey them on my behalf. ”

"Huh?"

"Your Excellency has a noble birth and noble character, and I sincerely hope that we can become friends and even go further. However, this is based on the premise that you show kindness and friendliness, for example, a malicious slanderer like the one who slandered Duke Perez a few days ago should be severely punished, and Mr. Mu Yan should not shield him. ”

Mu Yan frowned slightly, "But as far as I know, classmate Barry is indeed ...... in that matter."

"Your Excellency, you are wrong. It was just a child messing around, and we couldn't get on the stage of adults, and we had already communicated with the school. After all, Jialan is the cradle of the aristocracy, and the way of educating the nobility is naturally different from others. ”

Mu Yan was thoughtful, but asked knowingly, "So...... Is the nobility mentioned by Mr. Gaine different from the aristocracy as defined by imperial jurisprudence? ”

The duke was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Teacher Mu Yan laughed, you and I both understand the meaning of this, there is no need to pretend to be confused, right?"

"I really don't understand." Mu Yan smiled sincerely, "What does the Duke mean by the nobility?" ”

Gain's smile vanished, and he stared at him for a long time, as if he couldn't tell whether it was banter or sincerity.

But there was nothing to see in those eyes.

"You know, those untouchables are not of high enough blood to be called nobles. True nobility is something that the king cannot bestow. ”

"What about Principal William?" Mu Yan asked again: "If one day, William, Carter's young men and your children have a conflict, what should I do?" Their nobility was also not a gift from the king......"

"It's up to you, Teacher Mu Yan."

"Oh...... So I was faced with a choice. ”

Mu Yan nodded, and suddenly moved his fingers, and a gentle air flow swirled to separate the white qi, making the visibility near the hot spring temporarily the highest.

He pointed to the stone wall behind everyone and asked with a smile, "But I have a new problem." The stone wall at the edge of the hot spring is polished and smooth to make visitors more comfortable, and when you look at it, you can see that there are at least eight smooth depressions, but now there are only five of us...... Dare to ask the Duke, did the three unlucky bastards who were kicked out no longer have pure bloodlines and noble identities because of your words? ”
