Chapter 271: Impotent Fury
"Damn, miscalculated, this time it really miscalculated!" Hassander paced anxiously back and forth in his laboratory, his skinny old face as dark as bark, and hurried back to think of what to do after seeing Harvey and the White Dragon Simpson talking in the castle hall.
He instigated his disciple Louise to attack Harvey, originally he was prepared for the worst, with Louise's side of the shield, even if the parliament impeached him would not affect him, never expected Harvey not only escaped from Louise's hands, but also encountered such a situation after returning to the Ludwig family, who is the White Dragon Simpson? One of the most well-known professors of Clark Academy and even the Magic Association, he is a dragon with a lifespan of thousands of years, and the magical talent of dragon creatures is far higher than that of humans, coupled with the accumulation of long lifespans, its strength is unfathomable, even the twelve members of the Magic Association dare not easily offend.
The white dragon Simpson is a dragon creature, and it is inevitable that he has an unimaginable attachment to treasure, but the way it collects treasure is not to plunder, but to lend its treasure, and return it with interest after a certain period of time.
The former head of the Ludwig family, Ludwig XV was himself a rather undisciplined spellcaster, and borrowed a large amount of contribution points and materials from the White Dragon Simpson in the name of the Ludwig family for his own use, and when the family council found out about this, he ousted Ludwig XV from power, but the borrowed materials and contribution points were basically squandered by him.
After that, the Ludwig family chose to forget this debt, and no one was willing to come forward to fill this huge financial hole, until today the white dragon Simpson personally came to the door to take out the contract to fulfill the obligation to repay, if it does not repay, it doesn't matter, it will take the magic stone in the huge statue of the castle, that magic stone is the treasure left by the founder of the Ludwig family, as the energy core provided to the statue, and that statue is actually the core of the castle's operation.
Without the power supply of the Magic Stones, the magic circle guarding the Ludwig family would be invalid, and some of the castle's automated magical facilities would be wasted, such as lights, such as automatic water heaters, and ashrams for spellcasters to meditate.
It's about the roots of the Ludwig family.
However, the debt dragged on for 50 years, and the accumulated interest on the debt was almost twice as much as the original debt, and the declining Ludwig family had no means to repay the debt. The reason why the Ludwig family arranged for Eve to attend Clark College was to save tuition and to get close to the White Dragon Simpson to see if there was room for maneuver.
Once the Magic Guide Stone is taken away, the Ludwig family will be truly unsustainable, and will become a big joke for the noble gatekeepers, and even be kicked out of the Twelve nobles.
However, this life-and-death crisis was temporarily resolved only because of the presence of Harvey, whose importance to the Ludwig family is self-evident.
The balance is a one-sided disadvantage, based on Louise's desire to kill Harvey, I am afraid that Hassander himself will not be able to shake the result in the slightest, if Louise exposes the true picture of the matter, it is Hassander who deceived and instigated Louise to attack Harvey, Hassander will definitely not escape the blame, and the lightest result of the punishment is also the expulsion of the Ludwig family.
Is there any way to stop the fire from burning on yourself?
Kill Louise? It's true that dead people can't speak, and Hassan is used to doing similar things, but isn't this just announcing that there are still participants in the open air? It was even more impossible to destroy the corpse in Ludwig's family residence, and without even Harvey's voice, Hassand could guarantee that the group of council members would go to great lengths to pull themselves out and curry favor with the family's nouveau riche.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! Why didn't that damn lizard come sooner or later, and chose to come at that time! The tangled Hassand angrily pushed the utensils in his laboratory to the point of breaking, the sound of jingling bells rang continuously, the laboratory was in a mess, and the sound of glass breaking made Hassand sober up a little, if the white dragon Simpson came earlier, knowing the relationship between Harvey and the white dragon Simpson, he would not have rashly acted, and it would not affect him if the matter passed later.
······
In the guest room, after listening to Eve's snot and tears, Harvey nodded in a regretful tone: "I see, Louise is the daughter of Ludwig XV." ”
Eve, who cried like a little flower cat, touched her tears again, sobbed and nodded vigorously: "Yes, although Louise belongs to the sideline, but in that generation, her father is the best spellcaster, Louise also inherited her father's excellent talent, Ludwig XV's rash borrowing from Lord Simpson led to being sentenced to a compulsory mission to repay this huge debt, but Ludwig XV unfortunately died in an important mission, Louise grew up under the strange eyes of family members, and her character is not bad." , just competitive and not wanting to lose to anyone, her offense to Mr. Adrian was completely impulsive. ”
Harvey was undeniable: "On the spur of the moment? Eve, impulsiveness also comes at a price, just like you said about the end of Ludwig XV. ”
"I know..."
"Eve, what I want in this matter is a result, and I can act as if this didn't happen, provided that Louise doesn't pose a threat to me anymore."
Eve looked up in surprise, and her beautiful big eyes sparkled in her red eyes: "Do you mean that you are willing to pardon Louise?" I can guarantee that she won't do anything like this again. ”
"Life can be saved, but Louise must give up magic, I found a super-level spell called [Spell Stripping] in your family's library, there should be someone in the Ludwig family who will cast this spell, turning Louise into a waste person who can no longer cast spells."
[Spell Stripping] Only the strength really touches the lord class, forming a spell that can be cast by the caster in the cognitive field, different casters have different effects, and the main purpose is still the same, that is, to strip off all the spell knowledge of a caster with low mental strength, this process cannot be reversed, and because forcibly stripping the knowledge and cognition will cause serious mental trauma to the recipient, the severe one will be permanently unconscious, and the ordinary mental trauma will never be able to call the spiritual power.
In the eyes of the caster, [Spell Stripping] can be described as a more cruel punishment than death, which is also the purpose of the caster who developed this spell. In the origin story of the spell, the apprentice of a powerful spellcaster defected to another spellcaster with the data from his laboratory, but the caster only coveted the results of the data, and kicked the apprentice away when he got it, and the desperate apprentice could only go back in humiliation, and the betrayed caster developed the spell in anger and successfully tested it on his own apprentice.
Eve looked at Harvey in disbelief and lost her voice, "How can it... This was more uncomfortable for Louise than the death penalty. ”
"Isn't it good? Even though he has learned the lessons of his father, he still repeats the same mistakes, and it is not a pity to die. ”
Seeing that Harvey didn't give a trace of room to retreat, Eve bit her lips and nodded helplessly, agreeing to this plan.
