Chapter Twenty-One: Fox, The Cory Family
Because he didn't know if Jessica would ever come back, Rob couldn't put the marble back in its place for the time being.
He had asked the sorceress for buttons, of course, not to satisfy his peculiar fetishes.
Turquoise, also known as the Enchanted Stone, was a magical material, popular among the upper classes for its hard texture and elegant shape, and was often fashioned into ornaments, though the ladies did not know that it had another purpose when admiring this beautiful crystal - it was used to forge magic knives.
In fact, even many magicians don't know that turquoise has this kind of use, because today's magic carving knives are basically made of crescent stone, and the characteristics of crescent stone make it very suitable for carving magic arrays, but three hundred years ago, when the crescent stone was not discovered, the magic carving knives used by magicians were actually made of turquoise stone, but compared with the later crescent stone, the magic carving knives made of turquoise stone performed unsatisfactory in all aspects, so when the crescent stone was discovered, the magic carving knives made of turquoise were slowly eliminated。
At tonight's banquet, in order to prevent someone from smuggling the magic carving knife into the Earl's Palace, a magic circle was set up outside the gate specifically to perceive the crescent moonstone, but this magic array did not react to the pine crystal, if he could get a button on Jessica's dress, Rob might be able to use it instead of the magic carving knife to solve the problem of the small magic circle under the floor.
But the sorceress apparently didn't intend to give away the clasp on her chest, especially since the two had only known each other for less than ten minutes.
The future Celestial Magister then apparently realized that it would not have any effect if he opened his mouth so directly, but fortunately, Jessica was not the only female guest wearing the turquoise as an ornament tonight, Rob planned to wait and go out to steal one at the banquet, but it was risky to do so, once the other party found out that his ornament was lost, he would definitely notify the guards of the Earl's Mansion as soon as possible, and it was very likely that he would be startled at that time.
However, the future Ultra Magister could not find a better way for the time being, he poured himself a glass of brandy, silently listened to the quarrel from the corridor outside, but did not move, just like Jessica said, after all, this is their family's own business, and it is difficult for him to meddle in it as an outsider.
Everyone has their own troubles, commoners have the bitterness of commoners, nobles naturally have the difficulties of nobles, did Jessica's brother and father do wrong in this matter? From the perspective of relatives, they did not do right, but from the perspective of the family, there seems to be no problem with what they did, Jessica should know this very well in her heart, so she still put on that dress to attend the dinner party after all, although the girl had complained to Rob before, but after all, it could not withstand the blood relationship.
Therefore, all the future Celestial Magus can do now is to stay quietly in this lounge, not to go out and cause trouble for her, and let the female magician solve this matter herself.
After a while, the quarrel outside gradually subsided, and it seemed that the turmoil had passed, but then Rob couldn't help frowning, the situation seemed to be a little wrong, and it was a little too quiet outside the door.
Tonight, he and D'Ardarion were going to make a move on an archbishop of the temple, and it stands to reason that they should try to avoid extraneous complications at this time, but he and Jessica were classmates after all, and he couldn't stand by if the girl was really in any danger, Rob thought about it, put down the brandy in his hand, and pushed the door out.
There were three figures outside the door, two of which were supposed to be Jessica's brother and the young master of the Prince family, while Jessica was lying on the shoulders of one of the men with her back to him, and she was the only one of the three who didn't look back.
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind them, both of them were stunned, there were other people in this lounge?
One of the well-dressed teenagers showed a hint of hostility towards Rob who came out of the house, while the other, a little older, was more polite and explained, "The housesister is drunk, and we were about to take her away. ”
Rob raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you're her brother." ”
"Sister Lodge and you mentioned me?" the older man was slightly surprised, "I'm McGill from the Natalie family, I don't know if your Excellency is ......"
"Fox, the Corey family. "Your Excellency the future Ultra Magister introduced himself as succinctly as ever.
"Corey family?" McGill felt very unfamiliar with this name, he thought hard for a moment, confirmed that he had not heard anything related to this family, guessing that the other party was a small family like him, but his personality was more cautious, and he wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, the young man beside him had already spoken, and sneered, "Now the level of this kind of dinner party is really not as good as a year, and any small fish and shrimp can be mixed in." ”
His words not only mocked Rob on the other side, but also framed the brothers and sisters of the Natalie family beside him, McGill's face changed, but when he thought of the identity of the other party, he finally just lowered his head and said nothing.
However, His Excellency the future Super Magister will not be accustomed to anyone, nodded and said lightly, "It makes sense, it is the first time I have encountered such a thing as directly drugged at the dinner party and abducting female guests, and you are not afraid that your family's reputation will be ruined if it is spread?"
Prince's face changed dramatically when he heard this, "You don't want to spew blood, Ming...... Apparently Miss Jessica was drunk, and I kindly sent her home, I don't believe you asked him. The boy gestured to McGill, "He's Miss Jessica's own brother, and there's no way I'm going to kidnap his sister in front of him." ”
After the last sentence, the young master of the Prince family also regained a lot of confidence, straightened his waist again, and said with a calm expression, "What are you, do you know the consequences of slandering the Prince family?"
As a result, before he could finish speaking, another voice came, and the voice said lazily, "What are you, are the Prince family amazing?"
The latter was furious when he heard this, and insulting a person's family at any time was a very serious consequence, but when he turned to see the comer, he was like a quail that had been suddenly choked by the throat, and he could not say a word of cruel words that had been brewing for a long time.
"President D'Artaglion. McGill said in horror, "Why are you here?" ”
The person who came was the president of the Magician Guild in Gudris City, and the man said curiously, "If I don't come out, am I hiding to the side and watching others bully my cousin, and I'm not you, how can you have such a strange fetish?"
