Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Deliverance Chapter 1: The Magic King

The lavishly decorated carriage came to a steady stop at the door of a large mansion at the shouting of the old coachman.

"Here we are, Mr. Yu. ”

Unlike the rough appearance of the bearded Raza, the coachman said politely, went down to the carriage, removed the wooden blocks of the feet, and straightened them. Then politely take off the straw hat that blocks the sun and wait.

"Thank you, friend. A man in a black magic dress lifted the curtain of the carriage, leaned out of it with agility, and stepped on a wooden block to the ground.

Under my feet, there are a few stone roads in the entire county, which are still much more comfortable than the mud roads in the general market.

At least this gentleman, who did not usually ride in a carriage, was at first not very shabby, but as soon as the carriage started, he felt that the rough muddy road was almost vomiting for breakfast;

When he thought that this was about to be done, the carriage suddenly went up the stone road again, and instantly became stable;

It's like the aftermath of a catastrophe.

The man subconsciously stomped his feet a few more times, feeling the comfort of being alive in death. Realizing the strange look in the coachman's eyes, he smiled awkwardly and turned his gaze to the ornate gate.

At the door, there were two mighty stone lions, and their eyes full of intimidation stared straight at every move in front of the door, which made Mr. a little uncomfortable.

And a soldier on the inside of the door, after seeing the man get out of the car, rummaged through his pocket and took out the key, and stepped forward impatiently, ready to open the door.

"Please take it. Mr. Yu in the coachman's mouth retracted his gaze, straightened his collar, and then took out two pieces of imperial silver as if by magic and handed them to the coachman on the side.

The latter was startled at first, and when he realized that the tip was for himself, his eyes stared directly at the two silver coins hanging in the gentleman's hand, swallowed his saliva, and fought fiercely in his heart.

But when he heard the sound of the soldiers who were opening the door inside the gate behind him, he put away this thought, and said:

"Sir...... Well, our viscount has asked for no tipping. ”

When he said this, the coachman seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking.

But in order to keep this job, he will not risk receiving a tip equivalent to half a month's work for himself, which will make the master unhappy.

"That can't be helped. The man in the black dress shook his head with a smile, and with a dexterous movement of his hand, the two silver coins suddenly disappeared from his hand as they had just been.

"Mr. Yu, Lord Viscount has been waiting for a long time. ”

The soldier in uniform was not surprised by his technique, but directly stepped forward to remind him, and although his tone was respectful, there was also some contempt.

"Oh, okay, friend. The man nodded, and waved for the coachman to goβ€”in fact, the driver was really going to park, and the man had no right to tell the people in the mansion to do anything.

Mr. Yu followed the soldier into the door.

Along the way, the soldiers did not have superfluous words. In order to break this slightly awkward atmosphere, he asked, consciously or unconsciously, "Are my magic tools ready?"

"Lord Viscount appreciates Sir's deception...... The magic trick is ready a few days in advance. ”

The wrong word seemed to indicate the soldier's stance towards the magician. But Mr. Yu could only smile awkwardly.

Magicians, a profession that emerged about 200 years ago, are popular among ordinary people for mocking a certain figure in history who directly caused the world chaos for a hundred years.

However, their social status is usually not high, especially in front of these nobles, and if you give you face, you will be better; if you don't give face, you will even directly dismantle the stage, and your life will not be guaranteed.

This is the magician, after the stabilization of this disintegrated world, in the eyes of the Church purely as a profession to strengthen the faith of the people.

"Oh, well, the Viscount of Labor. ”

This great magician, who is famous all over the country and even the world, knew that he had met a person who did not give face, so he closed his mouth boringly and turned to the landscape by the roadside.

This courtyard is very large, and there are carefully polished stone roads in all directions, which are very comfortable to walk like a foot massage;

There were also a lot of expensive plants planted around, and although he didn't know anything about this kind of thing, there were several of them he had seen in the royal back garden, and their value was self-evident.

Remembering the scene of performing a magic trick in front of the emperor a year ago, he just closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

After thinking about it, how can I say that I am also the first in my country, and I should be the last person to perform magic in front of such a high-status adult.

Although the result did not satisfy the Prime Minister too much, at least the emperor reluctantly gave him the title of "Magic King", which is famous all over the world.

Now that I think about it, it should be that the new emperor is angry with the old man......

Whatever, that kind of thing is not in his own hands, and it's not bad to be a magic king with peace of mind...... Right?

This is Roqueshire in the Begley Empire, and the supreme governor is of course not the viscount mentioned above, but the Vanshire Guard, whose title reaches the earl.

It is said that this grandfather of Fan Junshou was the protector of the Begret Empire, and successfully resisted the joint attack of the Begret Dynasty that split from the original Immortal Emperor, such as the Kano Kemen Empire and the Paran Rin Kingdom.

With tens of thousands of soldiers, he broke 300,000 troops in the central coalition army, and preserved the territory of the old Western Regions and the safety of millions of people.

At that time, his military exploits had already reached the rank of lieutenant, and his heirs had also been stained, but by the time of Fan Junshou's generation, he had been reduced to a small, only equivalent to the status of an earl.

And the owner of the mansion where the magic king Yu Dongshui is now is the nephew of Fan Junshou.

He had defected to Van a few years earlier. At that time, the county keeper was busy reviving the family's majesty, and there were no heirs under his knees. So he attached great importance to this nephew, and gave him the title of a viscount, so he was asked to be a county magistrate in this county.

Stepping through the door of the main room inlaid with gold and silver, the Viscount's family sat in the hall early.

Not far from them, there were all kinds of magic props, some of which were prepared by Yu Dongshui and had people transport them in advance, and some of which were prepared by the viscount himself.

It should be to verify his true skills, which are known as the king of magic, but Yu Dongshui doesn't care too much, this situation can be said to be a common occurrence for magicians.

Besides, compared to the new performance I specially prepared today, these things are just pediatrics.

"Great Magician Yu, you are here!" The moment the viscount saw Dongshui coming in, he directly got up and stepped forward to greet him, and the rest of the noble sons and ladies sitting on the side also stood up slightly to greet him.

Although I felt that it was a bit unruly for the Viscount to go up to greet a magician like this, after all, the people here were all relatives of the Viscount, and they knew their own temperament and hobbies, so they didn't say anything.

However, the three children of the viscount also stood up at the first time, not for anything else, but just to gain the favor of their father, and they will definitely be able to use it in the future.

As for the so-called magic king in front of him, the big guy doesn't have any special feelings, maybe he is a more famous charlatan.

It should be the same as those guys before, playing around is just those few tricks, nothing more than changing people and so on, as entertainment and pastime.

But the Viscount still enjoyed it, as if it was a disease contracted in the early years before he gained power (recognized relatives).

Especially when I heard that the Magic King given by the Emperor lived nearby (about the Magic King, the Viscount's family has been locked down for a year, but it was accidentally mentioned by other nobles...... ), I was even more excited, and immediately sent someone to invite it, and said that I would invite it back no matter what, and the price would be opened casually.

"Thank you Lord Viscount for your kindness, Yu is grateful. ”

For such an active aristocrat, Yu Dongshui was still at a loss when he saw it for the first time.

And the soldier who had just led the way also consciously exited the room and went to the gate to continue to stand guard.

"Eh, I've heard of the reputation of the Great Magician for a long time! Come on, let me see how clever the legendary Magic King is!"

The nobleman seemed a little excited, and pulled Yu Dongshui into the house one by one.

The others also sat down, but did not stop the Viscount from behaving like a rickshaw soliciting customers on the street.

"I've won the prize, I've won the prize......" Dongshui said with some embarrassment, and came to a pile of magic props.

Previously, Yu Dongshui had also inquired about the relevant information of this nobleman, and knew in advance that this lord had obtained the title of viscount by virtue of his uncle's status.

On weekdays, one of his hobbies is to watch magic, but his temperament is impermanent, and he doesn't dare to compliment, and he heard that in his early years, there was a magician who made a series of mistakes in front of him and was cut off his head.

Yu Dongshui looked at the magic props next to him while accompanying the smiling face, which was very routine and not too difficult. I'm still very confident in my own approach.

What's more, this time there is also the gadget that the brother has just developed, and it can be said that it is more than enough to get a little bargain from the viscount.

"Strive to get a few more gold coins!" Yu Dongshui thought secretly, and began to sort out the magic props in front of him, turning his back to them, and not saying with his head down:

"Please give me some time, my lord. It should only take a pillar of incense, and I'll give you a wonderful magic show. ”

"Of course, Magic King. ”

The Viscount ignored the indignant expression of the man next to him, and had more expectations for this somewhat proud magician.

But the others seemed to care a lot about talking to them with their backs to them, as if they didn't take them seriously. But helplessly urged by the head of the family, they all walked together and moved to the side hall next to them.

"Hurry up, you losers, don't get in the way of the Magic King's preparations, I spent five Emperor's Gold to get him!" said the Viscount.

"Although I feel that the Viscount is the one who is the most defeated......

Yu Dongshui thought to himself after hearing those words.

"Forget it, the price is twice as high as others, so why not?"

He recalled the picture of the Viscount's man stumbling with someone from another noble family a month ago, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly.

At that time, he didn't say a word, and the appearance fee was carried by them from twenty Roxhire silver to four imperial gold.

It wasn't until the other party wanted to beat someone that Yu Dongshui pretended to be angry and invited that person out.

In fact, Yu Dongshui hopes that the two of them will raise the appearance fee higher "peacefully".

But it backfired, if the two of them really fought in their own homes on the spot, they would be nobles, and if they were injured, they couldn't afford to provoke either party. It's better to accept it when you see it, and the water will flow for a long time!

Is it said that four pieces of imperial gold are fine water......

As for why the viscount said five, some of the people in the middle were full of private money, and Yu Dongshui could be regarded as seeing a lot.

A piece of royal gold? Compared with a person who once paid the equivalent of a performance fee, he can be considered more manageable.

"Come on, Magic King, I'll have two mouths in a few days!" Thinking of this, he, who had always had a poker face in front of ordinary people, showed a smile.
