After breakfast with Mrs. Loris, Carl was guided by his attendants to the third floor. In the middle of the third floor, there is a corridor across the patio, below which is the hall where the ball was held last night, carved with three marble arches in exquisite relief, passing through the corridor, dividing the grand ballroom into two halls, one large and one small.

The hallways are still as opulent as last night's ball, with elaborate crystal chandeliers still hanging from the high dome and fluffy cashmere carpets covering the third floor. In the corridors on either side of the bridge, there is a row of rooms inlaid with gilded copper handles, which are either guest rooms or lounges.

Guided by the servant, Carl entered the room. Inside, there is a soundproof carpet, and a small window blocks out the sunlight outside, leaving only a faint soft light to keep the room warm like spring.

There was a mahogany bed large enough to sleep two people, covered with a thick mattress and futon, and two bulging pillows neatly placed at the head of the bed. By the fireplace in front of the bed, there are two large rosy conchs, which serve as decorations and as candlesticks.

There is no doubt that this room is much more comfortable than the house where Carl lived in little Lucy's house, not only is it more beautifully decorated, but it is also more convenient to live. For example, on the small one-horned mahogany table inlaid with shells at the head of the bed, small scissors and scarves for building beards are thoughtfully placed. On the kitchen wall opposite the dressing table, there is champagne, rum, and a wiped glass, so he can fill the glass at any time and enjoy a bedtime drink.

Now, this cozy room belongs to Carl for the time being. However, he did not have much to relax and enjoy, and as soon as the servant left the room, he began to think seriously about his situation.

His trouble is not big or small, although it is not his intention, but it is not an easy thing to get involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between the mermaid family and the Wave Trident family, and even the struggle between the nobility and the church.

A trivial matter in the eyes of the big man, a casual game, falling on the little man, is a stormy wave of life and death.

Carl doesn't want to be a little person who goes with the flow, and he doesn't want to be a little person who can be manipulated at any time. The only way is to improve your strength as soon as possible.

On the surface, Karl's current strength is already very strong, and being able to defeat the elite knights and night watchmen in the four churches is already a small strength in any case. But Carl knew that these were all false, all of them were his own bloodline and the plug-ins brought by Princess Alicia, not his real strength.

In terms of the knight's path, not only the knight's blood and fighting spirit, but also the actual combat tempering that needs to be tempered thousands of times, and the knight's belief in the unity of words and deeds is needed, although he can simulate the knight's mark and fighting spirit through magic, but it can only stop at the level of the black iron knight, and if you want to improve your strength through knight training, it is not that you can't do it, but it takes a lot of time to sharpen and hone, and find the heart of a knight who truly belongs to you, so that it is possible to become a real knight.

After all, Carl was not a battle-hardened special forces soldier before, and he didn't have a natural warrior's heart, even if he had the experience of Princess Alicia, a knight of destiny, it was difficult to become a real knight in a short period of time.

Therefore, if he wants to improve his strength quickly in a short period of time, it is difficult on the road of knights. I can only try to see if I can achieve results faster on the road of magic.

Carl could only be regarded as a magic apprentice, but the awakening of the dragon vein bloodline allowed him to directly pass the apprenticeship stage, and he did not have to work hard to temper his spiritual power, so that his spiritual power and world view could be fused before he could give birth to magic power.

Essentially, aside from the difference in magical and psychic powers, there isn't much of a chasm between a full-fledged mage and a mage apprentice. After Carl awakened the warlock bloodline, he could already cast spells with magic power like a normal mage, and his future promotion was to accumulate magic power, accumulate knowledge, and learn spells.

Mage is a profession that uses wisdom and knowledge, and it does not have as many idealistic things as in knightly practice, which is actually more in line with the three views of a person like Karl who has been educated by modern materialism. What's more, Carl's knightly strength is obtained through magic, and his endurance in battle depends entirely on the amount of magic he has, even in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the knight's state, he must work hard to learn magic and accumulate magic power.

......

Lady Loris, who did not know that Carl was going further and further down the path of heresy, was preparing for Carl to clear his suspicion of heresy.

She did not go to Bishop Filch and Archbishop Ludwig in person, but, after writing a few handwritten letters, asked the butler to prepare the carriage and go to the largest opera house in the city of silver tides to see the latest "miracle play".

The "Bright Heart" Grand Theater is a magical building with the famous shell palace of the mermaid family, it completely abandons the mainstream architectural style of today, there are neither ancient Romanesque columns and open courtyards, nor church Gothic towering spires and domes, its shape resembles a perfectly cut thirty-six diamonds, the whole body is polished smooth and incomparably smooth volcanic agate rock is built, in the sun, refracted the brilliant magnificent halo, is the most shocking building in the entire silver tide city.

It is the largest opera house in the city of silver tides, with the highest service and the most expansive stage, and whenever the latest opera by playwright, the latest concert by musicians, or the most famous touring troupe on the continent arrives, countless aristocrats flock here to enjoy the most elegant art of the day.

This grand theater has not appeared in the Silver Tide City for a long time, but in less than ten years, it has already established its own reputation and brand, and has become an important place for high society to communicate in the Silver Tide City.

Mrs. Loris is here for more than just opera performances – even though the most prestigious touring troupe on the continent is performing today. Because in the grand theater at this moment, there is a woman with the most noble status and the most worthy of visiting.

Before the carriage with the mermaid badge arrived at this glittering theater, it was natural that instead of waiting in a long line like ordinary spectators, it was possible to enter directly through a red-carpeted gate.

"It's really worthy of being a chamber of commerce in the name of 'gem', and the Golden Yan family really flows with the artistic blood of elves!"

Although it is not the first time to come to the "Bright Heart Grand Theater", every time I see this building that reflects the infinite brilliance like a jewel, I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart.

The "Bright Heart" Grand Theater is the industry of the "Gem Chamber of Commerce", one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the mainland, and the owner of this chamber of commerce is the famous "Golden Yan" family.

The Golden Yan family is not an old aristocratic family, but it is the most dazzling legend in the last few hundred years. Because it is the first legendary family to transform from a mercenary group to a knight order, complete the gorgeous transformation from a free mercenary to a territorial nobleman, and leap from the first mercenary group in the mainland to the first chamber of commerce in the mainland.
