Chapter 163: Gem Magic (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) )
This feast, hosted by Emperor Nero, was undoubtedly grand and attentive.
Princes, ministers, senators, sons and daughters of officials, all those who were famous in the Roman capital, came here.
The sumptuous royal cuisine was already the most delicious food of this era.
But judging from the fact that Chu Bangfeng and Lixiang have eaten modern food, they are still slightly inferior.
Of course, these delicacies were enough to intoxicate those princes and ministers.
A pot of wine was poured, and Chu Bangfeng was drinking.
Lixiang and Matthew were also about to drink, but they were stopped by Chu Bangfeng.
"You two, don't drink."
Seeing the slightly red cheeks of the two, Chu Bangfeng added: "Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, it is harmful to the body. As for Joan of Arc......"
Chu Bangfeng moved his gaze over and saw the girl holding a wine glass with a beautiful red face.
Joan of Arc wore a service that was undoubtedly impossible for people of this age to dress up.
Stimulated by alcohol, Joan of Arc's vicious personality was somewhat restrained.
"Come, drink." But the character has become more bold.
Seeing that Hei Joan of Arc seemed to want to clink glasses with him, Chu Bangfeng had a few black lines on his forehead, but it was still natural to clink glasses and drink with Hei Joan of Arc.
"Bangfeng senior, please drink less, although Bangfeng seniors don't allow us to drink, but please drink less." Matthew added with concern, after all, it is not uncommon to drink and make mistakes.
Roman, who had a voice on his watch, said with envy: "Emperor Nero was a person who loved extreme luxury, and such a grand banquet is very much in line with her character......"
"Doctor, don't be envious, as long as you know how to do something different in Chaldea, you can eat so many things." Chu Bangfeng put down the wine glass in his hand, and after hearing what Roman said, he smiled dumbly.
"But that kind of food can only be eaten when you come back, no, no, no, I'll turn off the communication first, I can't help it, I'm going to eat some cake first."
Finding that Roman cut off the communication, Chu Bangfeng and Lixiang glanced at each other, and they were able to catch the smiles in their eyes.
……
The feast was halfway through.
"Your Majesty...... May I ask, what kind of ability do these four guests have to allow His Majesty to hold such a feast to entertain them at such a time of national crisis? ”
While everyone was eating and drinking, a minister in a robe made an inquiring voice at this time.
Chu Bangfeng had just put down the wine jug, his eyes narrowed slightly, he was not very surprised by such a thing.
After all, such a banquet was so grand, and it was held at a critical juncture in the country of Rome, it would not be surprising that if the strength of his own people was not demonstrated, it would not be surprising that some people would stand up and question it.
Because Nero was not a faint king, she was an unusually intelligent person.
After hearing the minister's loud inquiry, a lovely smile appeared on Nero's face, "Your question is very correct, these four are magicians from distant countries, each of them has magical powers, and the abilities of these four guests are all Yu has ever seen. ”
"So...... Can Your Majesty ask these four guests to show off their so-called mystical powers? ”
Hearing this, Chu Bangfeng turned his head to look at Lixiang and asked, "How is the progress of the magic you and Roman are learning?" ”
"With the magic gem stored, I was able to barely release a little bit of flame...... "Ritsuka's face turned slightly red, as if she was not satisfied with her learning progress.
At this moment, it was Chu Bangfeng's turn to be a little surprised.
I didn't expect that in a short period of time, Ritsuka's magic progress was so fast.
Gem magic is also a type of magic, but it consumes very expensive gems, and this kind of magic is not something that ordinary people can use.
Fortunately, Chaldea has a lot of gems in stock, and with the rest of the royal masters all being damaged and frozen, there are so many resources for Lixiang to practice.
Although Chu Bangfeng wanted to learn the magic of the Moon World, he took a different path, so Chu Bangfeng finally gave up.
"Well, that's enough. Come, Rikkami, and perform the basic gem magic you learned for the princes and ministers of Rome. ”
"Really...... Do you really want me to come? Rika was a little nervous.
"Of course, your magic tricks can't be used against the enemy, but if you perform it, it must be enough, right? Get used to unleashing magic in front of others and don't get nervous. ”
"I see, I'll try."
Noticing the encouraging look at Matthew, Rikka took a deep breath and stood up with her chest heaving.
Magic, in itself, is an artificially reproduced mystery, or miraculous act, as a means to achieve real-world goals through shortcuts.
For example, releasing flames, the real world can obtain flames through lighters, flints, drilling wood for fire, and other ways.
Magic, on the other hand, is able to skip a series of steps in the middle and complete the goal of directly obtaining the flame.
Of course, magic is not a panacea, and what the caster can do is to determine the power of the magic through a specific chant of spells.
For this, the magician also needs to pay a corresponding price.
Gem magic is one of the many types of magic, and it is also the magic that Rikka is currently learning.
Use life force as a raw material to generate mana.
Marks of green glow began to appear on Ritsuka's arms.
These marks are intricate, but they are traceable.
These lines that appear on Tachika's arms are called magic circuits.
It is through this that the magicians of the Moon World unleash their magic.
Holding a red gemstone, the gem is infused with the magic that Rikka has transferred to it.
“——!”
Reciting mysterious and complex incantations.
Lixiang spread out her hand, and the red gem in her hand shook violently, scattering with explosions and flames that rose into the sky.
As the emperor, Nero seemed to have anticipated the scene that would appear, and with the ability of the mass crystal, Nero raised his hand and formed an energy film protective space, protecting the guests of the banquet and the surrounding area without any impact.
"Good!!"
Hearing the sound of praise that someone couldn't help shouting, Lixiang was clumped for a moment, and then bowed slightly and said, "Thank you." ”
Looking at Lixiang who had retreated and sat on the seat, Chu Bangfeng exclaimed: "Very good, although there is still a long way to go from facing the enemy, Lixiang, your progress is obvious." ”
"My predecessors are amazing."
"Hush." Joan of Arc glanced at Rikka with a flushed cheek, but she didn't say anything excessive, and continued to drink the palace wine in her cup.
"The banquet is almost over, four guests, please go next door with Yu to talk about it, and Yu will tell you what happened in Rome."
