Chapter 18: The Rubbing of the Lykar Mana
There were a lot of important people at tonight's dinner, but when D'Addarion walked in, it still attracted the attention of the audience, as the most famous dead house in the city of Gudres, most people saw him appear in a similar social occasion for the first time, it felt like seeing a turtle in the desert, the expression on his face was more and more exciting, and when D'Ardarion stepped into the Earl's Palace, there couldn't help but hear a whisper all around.
But the president of the Magician Guild himself ignored a noble boy who wanted to come up and talk to him as if he hadn't heard anything, went straight to the place where the food was placed, took an empty plate and started eating it himself, leaving the stunned guests behind him.
"Yo, this barbecue pie is good, would you like a piece?" asked Darddarion to Rob beside him.
The latter shook his head, Rob had only eaten hot pot with Gage in the evening, and he had no appetite at this time, so he temporarily separated from D'Ardarion and toured the Earl's Court alone.
Motellis is the same as he expected before, he is still in the VIP room on the second floor with his eyes closed, and he is not in a hurry to show up at the dinner, the old man is old, and he was on the road overnight last night, and the long-distance journey still has a great impact on his body, although his carriage is specially customized, large and spacious, and he can rest in it, but after all, it is not as good as a real bed, so after arriving at the Earl's Court, he rested in the VIP room after seeing the sons of Count Nathan, and he will not come down to attend the dinner for a while.
Rob's current image is a tall and slightly thin young man, with an ordinary appearance, and a few freckles on his face, according to the identity given to him by D'Addarion, he is a magician who has just advanced to the second order, studying in a magic academy in the north, and is introverted and not good at communicating with people, this time he came to the south to increase his knowledge and visit the legendary city of magicians, his mother, that is, a distant aunt of D'Addarion, wrote to Gudris, entrusting D'Addarion to take care of his cousin, so the president of the Magicians Association brought him to the dinner tonight。
Because he came in with D'Addarion, many people had their eyes on him before, after all, the president of the Wizards' Association was notoriously difficult, but if it was possible, it would be a good idea to take down his relatives first, but then those people were a little disappointed to find that D'Addarion's relationship with his cousin seemed to be relatively ...... So so?
Although the two came together, but after coming in, D'Ardarion buried his head in eating, and put his cousin aside, you must know that most of the people at the banquet tonight are from prominent families, and the reason why they need to enter with the invitation is not only for safety reasons, but also to prevent some guys who are not enough to mix in and disturb everyone's interest.
Even among the nobles, there is a strict hierarchy, different people have different circles, and it is not much easier for a circle of a lower level to blend into a circle of a higher level than for a commoner to become a noble class, especially a powerless newcomer like "Fawkes", who is basically brought in by other big people at such a dinner, but if he wants to add a topic, he will either wait for others to take the initiative to find him, or he will have to be introduced to him by D'Ardarion, but the latter does not seem to have any plans in this regard.
In the eyes of outsiders, this means that the president of the Wizards' Guild does not think much of his distant cousin, so those who originally wanted to catch up with D'Addarion through the line "Fawkes" have also withdrawn their steps.
So now Rob is wandering around the Earl's Court alone, and no one talks to him, as if he is transparent, in the eyes of outsiders, this young man named Fox is undoubtedly in a somewhat embarrassing situation at the moment, and most of the young people have good faces, so he has to pretend not to care, and admire the famous paintings on the walls and the artworks placed on both sides of the corridor alone.
Count Nathan has considerable influence in Guderis, can be regarded as half of the owner of Guderies City, his collection is of good quality, along the way Rob has seen several pairs of masters' works, if they are sold outside, at least tens of thousands of gold coins can be exchanged, but so far he has not found the thing he really wants to see.
However, the future Ultra Magister was not in a hurry, and he continued to tour from room to room until he reached the outside of the third lounge, and finally noticed a somewhat unfamiliar magic fluctuation.
Well, if nothing else, this is it.
It was a lounge, a little remote, and Rob seemed to be a little tired from the tour, so he stopped and pushed the door in.
Luckily for him, there was no one else in the lounge.
That strange magic fluctuation came from under the carpet, and when the future Super Magister first arrived, he noticed that although the guards on the Earl's Court were not small, they were definitely not many, and this number of people obviously did not match the number of precious collections in the Earl's Palace, you could say that this was because Gudris had been very safe, but for an old fox like Count Nathan, he would definitely not put all his eggs in one basket.
What's more, there are many powerful magicians in Guderies City, although there is a magician association managing these magicians, but you can't guarantee that everyone will abide by the law, the so-called guards may be invincible in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of high-level magicians, they are not much stronger than air, in case any of them are short of money to spend recently or plan to make a fortune and leave by boat, this manpower will definitely not be able to hold such a large earl's palace.
Count Nathan would not pin his hopes on the self-discipline of the strong, so in addition to the guards outside with real swords and guns, he also had another preparation, that is, the magic array.
There are defensive magic arrays in the Earl's Palace, and there are quite a few of them, but most of them have a lot of influence on masters at the level of Rob and D'Ardarion, except for a small magic array called Lekar's Mana Topography.
D'Ardarion had introduced him to this magic circle in the carriage—" Laikal mana rubbing, you may not have heard of it, is a new thing that the old guy of Arbus made up last year, just completed the registration in the Magicians Association, but at that time you have already left school, at the end of the year he gave one to Count Nathan, it is very likely that he put it somewhere in the Earl's Palace, this magic array itself is not powerful, but the effect is very disgusting, after opening, you can record the caster's magic fluctuations, once your magic fluctuations are rubbed down, with another magic array called mana resonance, as long as you use magic again, they can quickly lock your position in the city。 ”
