248 Funeral III
The Royal Society of Magic, the crystallization of the fusion of magic and power.
Whoever has the identity it recognizes means a golden signboard, which is almost unimpeded in the secular world, and it not only symbolizes strength, but also symbolizes status, because most of the mages of this association are teachers of those in power, and their influence is huge, especially a few old mages who stand at the top of the association.
Those who despise it will say, "Oh! that's a bunch of court mages! Their magic is for show!"
Court mages mean the image of traditional and stereotypical mages, they abide by some bad habits of ancient mages, insist that magic is the exclusive profession of the powerful, respect ancient laws, they are stingy with sharing, stingy with communication, single mode of combat, unable to adapt to the ever-changing battlefield, usually need a strong knight order to protect, in order to play some role.
Of course, only mages born in the Arcane Ring would dare to blatantly despise them, and some mages from private magic guilds would occasionally slander them, but they didn't have that confidence, because if there was an opportunity to enter the Royal Magic Society, they would not hesitate to abandon the past and join it.
Including the Honorary Vice Presidents, the Royal Magical Society has at least 20 vice presidents, most of whom have no real power, and Rubick is one of them, he ranks last few among all the vice presidents, only a few higher than a few honorary vice presidents, but despite this, Rubick is still a well-known figure in Faro City.
Sir Rubick holds two titles that are very crucial.
The "Grand Magister" shows his strength, and according to Princeson's system, he is at least a level 17 mage;
"Vice President of the Royal Magical Society", indicating his status, is one of the 20 most powerful mages in the Millennium Empire.
If Rabiqula lowered his face and interfered in the family affairs of the Louis family, the basic situation was decided, and there was almost no possibility of a reversal.
Donald noticed Bill's expression in the distance, his depression and frustration were obvious, it was the feeling of being beaten a trump card, on the other hand, Nicholas, with a smug face, wrote arrogance and confidence, as if he had been crowned king of the Louis family.
Donald showed an apologetic expression and said with a wry smile: "If this big man comes forward, I'm afraid we will have no hope, so we can only hand over everything and see if we can win some rights." β
Charlie shook his head and said, "It's not the last moment, don't give up hope, and the most frustrated person now shouldn't be you!"
"Yes, it's more interesting now, Nicholas turns over the biggest hole card, how will Bill react?
Donald is different from Bill, the image of a businessman is not so sharp, in fact, as long as he is willing to give up the farm and fully cooperate, he will still have a place in the Louis family, if Nicholas is generous enough and enlightened enough, he may even let him continue to lead the tea project, of course, this possibility is very low, because some people want to take advantage of the opportunity of the Louis family's power reshuffle to swallow the entire tea industry.
Bill is different, Bill's side controls the order of the underground world of Faro City, which means that there is a sharp knife hanging over Nicholas's neck at all times, and the superior will never tolerate this happening, so there must be a battle of life and death between them.
In this case, Donald is safe, as long as he is honest, neither of them has time to pay attention to him.
Charlie snorted coldly, "I think he should fight to the death!" Don't be blinded by Sir Rubick's light, for Bill, the way to break the game is very simple, and he doesn't even need to clash with Sir Rubick.
As long as he was able to assassinate Nicholas, the family would fall into his hands, because, in that case, Rubick lost his position to intervene.
Although Rubick's influence is very great, but infringing on the power of other families, interfering in the internal affairs of other families, bullying the weak with the strong, and using power for personal gain, has touched the foundation of the thousand-year-old empire, the thousand-year-old empire will always be aimed at uniting the aristocracy, the last magic holy war, this is how it was won, so, Rubick must not do this kind of thing, once he makes trouble, he will not only have a complete reputation, but may even lose all his titles, and even go to prison. β
Hearing this, Donald's eyes lit up, "Sharp! I feel that as soon as I analyze the situation here, the situation will be clear!"
Anna smiled: "Brother, you used to boast of unparalleled intelligence, that's because you haven't met someone stronger!"
"That's why your brother found him as a partner! vision is also part of wisdom, right?" Donald smiled, turned to Charlie, "Then you say, do I want to hide tonight?"
Cha Li thought for a while and said: "You still have to guard against Bill, maybe you are not the first target, but if you are exposed too obviously, they may also kill you easily, after all, you also have the basic conditions to enter the Louis family." β
Donald bowed slightly.
The dinner was spent in a dreary atmosphere, and the guests dispersed and returned, some returning home and others staying in their guest rooms.
Perhaps because Sir Rubick's presence had alarmed some, or perhaps because the plans had been disrupted on the fly, there was nothing unusual about the dinner.
After Donald returned to the courtyard, he searched back and forth, and found that there was no suitable hiding place, and when he built this courtyard, he did not have such considerations, so he gave up the idea of hiding.
Donald took out a wooden box from the closet, pressed the switch, and the wooden box bloomed like petals, revealing an orange-red glass bottle that was crystal clear, and the glass bottle was engraved with a delicate wolf's head.
Charlie has not had much interest in the past ten years, and studying aristocratic style is one of his few hobbies, just looking at the packaging, he can recognize the origin of this bottle of wine at a glance.
Charlie was surprised: "Dahl Molius?
"Charlie has a good eye!"
Anna took out three goblets and placed them on the table, "Let me accompany you through the night! β
"This wine is strong, I can't drink it, and I'll have to guard the gate tonight. β
Charlie silently took out some things from the spatial ring, and lined them up on the table one by one, a Tang knife, a twilight longbow, a delicate arrow, an orange-red staff, a dipped magic pen, and a bottle of starlight ink.
Anna asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Tonight's opponent is a human, and the enchantment on the knife has been changed. β
Although the Extreme Flame also has a burning effect on the human body, it does not have the deadly effect against the undead, in comparison, it is not as good as other enchantments, and a "sharp" with a "strong" enchantment effect will make the power of the Tang Knife rise to a new level.
Seeing Anna's puzzled appearance, Donald explained with a smile: "Anna, our boss is not only a unique vision, but also an all-rounder, who knows magic and martial arts, and the most important point is that he is also a demon seal carver, and things like enchantment have always been made by himself." β
Anna suddenly realized, "No wonder I took out so many enchanted arrows on the farm in one go, I thought it was just the big boss who had a lot of money." β
"So, you girls have to seize the opportunity, such high-quality men are really rare!"
Anna's puffy face flushed, but there was a look of eagerness in her eyes, the Louis family is not like the Welsh family, the door style is not as strict as those, like Anna's cousins have been active in the upper class of Faro City, they are well-known courtesans, I don't know how many men have crawled on the bed, some are voluntary, some are forced, some are traded, and some are half-pushed, what kind of man has not been seen, in contrast, Anna is much simpler, the only time she is in love, and for some reason it ended before the love beganγ
Then, when Anna saw Charlie's calm face, she sighed in her heart and snorted: "Brother, drink your bar!
Charlie applied "sharpness" and "firmness" to the weapon for the first time, surprisingly smooth, and succeeded at one time, only copied on manuscript paper a few times before, and the Tang knife after the double enchantment lost its dazzling brilliance, and a little ghostly light bloomed coldly, wandering on the blade, and it was breathtaking in the dark.
"Oh! knives are works of art, and so are enchantments, it's really magical!" Anna held her glass, her eyes glinting with a misty light.
Then, Charlie began to silently enchant the arrows, and the "Black Arrow" was the best match for the night, occasionally making a "Split Arrow" to deal with the crowd.
One by one, the only thing in the room was the rustle of the magic pen and the occasional glass of wine.
While Charlie was enjoying the tranquility, he suddenly heard an explosion in the distance, and then the room buzzed, and Donald and Anna were immediately alerted, and their slightly drunken drunkenness was dispelled a lot.
Donald hesitated, "Did you really do it!
As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to go out to see the movement, but was stopped by Charlie with a look.
Charlie casually extinguished the magic lamp and whispered, "You two stay in the room, don't run around." β
Then, Charlie's figure disappeared under the shadow of the trees reflecting the windowsill, and the two siblings curiously walked to the window, quietly opened the gap in the curtains, and peeked out into the courtyard.
A crescent moon hung in the western sky, and the mercury moonlight cast on the courtyard was hazy, and there was no one in sight, and only various sounds in the distance could be heard in their ears, as if they were outside the whirlpool.
Suddenly, several black shadows rushed towards Donald's courtyard, the speed was fast, but they landed silently, if it weren't for the two sisters staring at the courtyard after all, they wouldn't have noticed this abnormality.
Donald smacked his lips and made a helpless and sad expression, his smile was full of bitterness, his brother finally still didn't plan to let him go, what a sadness!
One, two, three...... Seven, eight, nine, a total of nine dark shadows appeared.
At the moment when the dark shadow lingered, Donald only felt a darkness in front of him, his mind was slightly dizzy, the bright moonlight seemed to be swallowed by something, and the next moment, he heard a few dull hums.
