Chapter 120: Eve von Ludwig
Norton, Magical Society
The Magic Society is located in a quiet and peaceful street in Norton's West Town, the appearance is a majestic mansion, the interior space is open and spacious, but the architectural decorations are not the bright colors that are popular nowadays, or the interior is lacking in decoration, and the turquoise color of the bricks and stones has become the main color of the interior, giving people a solemn and rigorous feeling.
The entrance is a huge arched promenade with a very high dome, with skylights on both sides to illuminate the interior of the promenade at all times, and a row of crystal chandeliers hanging between the skylights, which will naturally light up at night, except for a front desk, there is only a staircase leading to the second floor, and in the middle of the staircase is an indoor fountain. Visitors need to register at the front desk to be allowed to enter the second floor, when a blonde girl is standing in front of the front desk, and when she says her name, the front desk reception staff looks more respectful.
Soon the girl took the old butler behind her to the second floor.
In the office of the president of the Magic Association, Susie walked out of her research room, took off the gas mask covering her head and cast a spell to disarm the defensive magic on her body, and her tired eyes that could never wake up revealed a hint of surprise when she saw someone coming: "Oh? Eve, I never imagined that the eldest lady of the Ludwig family would come to this small border country in person. ”
Susie's office sat the blonde girl with blue eyes, it may be too early to describe it as a girl, her body and appearance are very immature, wearing a regular black and white dress skirt, under the thick curly golden hair is a delicate and indifferent little face, her eyes reveal a maturity and reason that is completely inconsistent with her appearance, and behind the little girl stands an old butler in a suit and leather shoes, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and her calm demeanor can feel that her birth must not be low.
The little girl with her legs dangling stood up from the sofa, took a small step back with her right foot against the heel of her left foot, and lifted the hem of her skirt with her little hands to salute respectfully: "Your Excellency Terrence, it is an honor to meet you again, Your Excellency Ludwig XVI has instructed me to greet you." ”
"That guy only says hello when he needs someone, or not, it's something you've commissioned."
A strange mushroom as tall as a tabletop stepped out of Susie's lab, holding a tray in both hands with a blue potion that was as clear and thick as a polished gem. The old butler put on his white gloves and carefully examined the potion, nodded and put it into a small red silk box.
The little girl waved her hand to let the old butler step back, and looked at the environment of the office, and her little face appeared puzzled: "Lord Terrence, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking a personal question, why did you choose to settle here?" This environment is not suitable for long-term habitation of a high-ranking caster. ”
Susie sat on the couch and lazily replied, "Experiments can be done anywhere with a magic teleporter, at least in this country where the spell network is weak, no one bothers me, not to mention that this country is quite interesting." ”
"Interesting... Sir Susie, can I stay here for a few days? Getting to know the customs and cultures of different countries is also part of the training in magic. ”
Susie yawned and waved her hand in interest: "You like, but now Lottie is not here, I went to another city to participate in a performance, my experiment is not finished yet, I don't have the heart to wander around with you." ”
Eve's little face looked a little angry, but she still pretended to be mature and said calmly: "Please don't worry, I can take care of myself." ”
The Mana Teleporter is an exclusive facility of the Magic Association, connecting branches and headquarters in different countries around the world to share magical power, so the Mana Teleportation Device is also known as the secondary spell network, at least within the scope of the Magic Association, even in the Kingdom of Barron, Susie can perform advanced spells or magic experiments beyond the limits of the country's fragile spell network.
······
"Interesting country." Eve von Ludwig left the Magical Guild and looked around at the quiet and peaceful streets in front of her, which were more clean and civilized than the imperial capital she lived in.
This is not uncommon, the civilization of the place where she lives is polarized, on the one hand, the ordinary world inhabited by ordinary people, where wars and famines often break out, and on the other hand, the field controlled by the Magic Association, and the knowledge civilization is highly developed. The former civilization is progressing slowly, the latter is far beyond most people's imagination, and the kingdom called Barron seems to have struck a balance between these two extremes, and Eve loves the cityscape of the city.
She stretched out her right hand and chanted, and a ball of light condensed in her palm, and the color gradually became transparent.
"Sure enough, the spell net can only support the casting of spells no more than the third order." Observing the color of the light ball, Eve shook her head in disappointment, the spell net here is so fragile, casting spells above the third order is likely to cause the spell to collapse and be eaten by the magic force, and some complex research cannot be completed in areas outside the Magic Association, can such a land really give birth to any excellent spellcasters?
Eve finds a café where she expresses her willingness to stay in Norton for a few days, and the Magic Society offers her a handsome amount of money for the event.
She was not the only guest in the café, but also women in brightly dressed clothes who were discussing something fiercely.
"Have you heard? Master Adrian's work will be released tomorrow in the city of Elroy! It is said to be a magic show phantom adapted from a fairy tale, and it has a very peculiar look. ”
"Of course I know, I've already bought Frozen and that beautiful picture book comic, but unfortunately why it wasn't premiered in Norton, and my father wouldn't have allowed me to go far away."
"Recently, I have watched a performance by the Mara Theatre Company, and neither the apparition nor the theatrical performance is at all comparable to The Count of Monte Cristo! Ever since I watched The Count of Monte Cristo, I've felt that all the drama has become boring, hey! I wish I was in Norton right now! It's a pity that now it is estimated that the phantom tickets are all sold out. ”
"Magic show, oh! I'm about to forget that Mr. Adrian is a brilliant spellcaster. ”
"Compared to the spellcaster, his identity as a writer is more conspicuous, he has the talent of a writer, the ability of a spellcaster and the identity of a nobleman, if only he could marry him!"
The unfamiliar language came into Eve's ears, but she could fully understand the meaning of these words, just like the rope that tied her golden hair to the crown was fixed with twelve gem pendants, each of which was constant with a fixed magic circle and exerted its effect, one of which was a constant second-order prophecy spell [language translation], which contained the Barron language.
Literature or the Spellcaster's Business? Magic show? Phantom?
Unable to comprehend these novel words, Eve summoned the waiter to order some delicate snacks and milk tea and enjoyed it slowly, she loved to see different cultures and customs in foreign countries.
"Newspapers?" Eve saw a newspaper on the table not far away for guests to see, got down from the chair and stood on tiptoe to find that it was a colorful newspaper, which surprised her, she had only seen colorful newspapers in the Magic Association, when did this technology be used in the civilian field?
"Harvey Adrian's new Phantom "Frozen" will be released tomorrow, an unparalleled feast of magic shows."
