Chapter 251: Al and Kevin
The Black Stone Tower, this is the name that Al gave to his own stone tower, not only because this stone tower is made of a special black stone of the Versailles Kingdom, but also because this stone tower belongs to him as a dark wizard in the future, although the Raven Caesar is dissatisfied that this stone tower is not called the Black Raven Stone Tower, but Al is still very satisfied with the name.
This blackstone tower is divided into three floors, but the height of each floor is not low, so the height of this blackstone tower is also quite good, the ground where the blackstone tower is located is high, so that Al standing in the window of the third floor, can see the small half of the Egger King City, which makes Al particularly satisfied.
The entire third floor of the Blackstone Tower is Eyre's laboratory, while the second floor is the reception room and Al's residence, and the first floor is the residence and guest rooms reserved for the servants and guards in the Blackstone Tower.
It took half a day for Al to organize the various experimental equipment in his space bag and put it in the corresponding position, and all kinds of low-level and commonly used experimental materials and books were also placed within reach of the third layer.
When he was done, Al looked out the window at the sky and realized that the sun had risen to the center of the sky, and it was clear that it was noon.
Stretching his waist, Al put down what he was doing, moved a chaise longue to the balcony on the third floor of the Black Stone Tower, lay on it and closed his eyes and took a nap, under the warm sunlight, Al enjoyed the afternoon sun quite comfortably.
The arrangement inside the Blackstone Tower is not yet complete, and there is still the last and most important step, which is to set up the defenses.
Although this blackstone tower is not a wizard tower, some defensive measures are still necessary, and the guards below can at most resist the little thieves and robbers who can't open their eyes, and as for those who really come to trouble El, those guards are equal to non-existent.
When Al woke up, the sun had set, and he looked at the pedestrians on the street below with far more than ordinary eyes, and Al suddenly felt a sense of being alive, although this feeling was full of worldly atmosphere, but Al felt that this feeling was really good.
Taking a deep breath, Al pressed the bell on the wall, asked the attendant who had arrived at the top of the staircase for ten people, and began to carry the ladder alone to inlay the runes on the wall of the third floor.
The runes inlaid by El are the two sets of runes 'Weather' and 'Lava' obtained in the Holy Sword Empire, with these two sets of runes as the core, combined with various materials and witch arrays, exhausting what El can do at present, and finally making two defensive rune witch arrays, one external, the other internal, but also complement each other.
After doing this, Al's arrangement is complete, although it is not impossible to do better, but it is completely unnecessary.
Arriving on the second floor, Al looked at the food on the table on the second floor, washed his hands, and feasted on it.
But just as Al was eating the food for six people, a young manservant came up and said to Al very respectfully, "Lord El, Lord Kevin, the Seventh Prince, is asking to see you outside. ”
Hearing this, Al was slightly stunned, and then said, "Lord Kevin, then, please let him in." ”
Receiving an affirmative answer, the manservant breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurried downstairs.
It didn't take long for the sound of going upstairs to the staircase again, and soon Kevin, dressed in a samurai uniform, came to the second floor of the Blackstone Tower, he looked at Al sitting at the dining table, bowed respectfully, and said, "Lord El, I hope my visit will not disturb you." ”
Putting down the knife and fork and wiping his mouth, Al looked at Kevin and said, "Lord Kevin, we are the same age, you and I don't have to be so disciplined, you can just call me Al, as for adults and you and the like, I'm not used to hearing them." ”
Hearing this, Kevin wanted to say something to Al, but when he saw Al's insistent face, he let out a breath and said to Al: "Since you said so, then Al don't call me an adult, you can just call me Kevin, my friends call me that." ”
"Your friend, is it the son of a nobleman or an official?"
Shaking his head, Kevin looked at Al and said: "Although there are several sons of nobles or officials among my friends, but among my friends, there are more children of businessmen or ordinary people, I get along with them better, have more fun, don't think so much, of course, they don't know my identity, they just think I'm the son of a small nobleman." ”
Listening to Kevin's words, Al laughed and said, "In this way, Kevin, you are not as quiet and obedient as you seem on the surface." ”
When Kevin heard Al's words, he made a grimace and said, "I'm not the kind of guy who goes against the grain, although in many people's eyes I am. ”
At this point, Kevin's face suddenly showed a hint of helplessness, but it was quickly swept away, as if it had never appeared.
At this time, Al looked at Kevin, changed the subject, and said: "Kevin, you didn't come to me just to tell me about your friends, just tell me anything directly, there is no need to hide it, as long as it is not very troublesome, I should be able to help." ”
As soon as he heard this, Kevin's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment, he looked at Al, and said a little hesitantly: "Al, I wonder if you can lend me some books, those books on occultism and witchcraft?"
Hearing this, Al's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said to Kevin with a slightly serious face: "Kevin, you should know that we wizards abide by the principle of equivalent exchange, and we can't help you for no reason, even if there is, it is definitely what you want, so are you ready for exchange?"
Kevin reached out and took out three sparkling gems from his pocket, one of which was a ruby, and the other two were sapphires, slowly put the gems on the table, and then said to Al: "Al, I know the principle of equivalent exchange, I don't know if these three gems are okay?"
Shaking his head, Al looked at Kevin and said, "Gems are not valuable to me, and for wizards, unless they are gems containing extraordinary powers, they are not worth anything at all, and they are no different from the stones outside. ”
Kevin's face suddenly became a little helpless when he heard Al's words, and he reached out to retrieve the gems on the table, but before he could reach out to take them back, the three gems flew to Al's hand on their own.
At this time, Al looked at the three gems in his hand and said, "Although the gems are not of great use to wizards, they are not impossible to exchange, as long as you promise to help me clean the laboratory when I read books in the future, then I will let me read those books about occultism and witchcraft." ”
Kevin looked at Al in disbelief, he didn't expect Al to really agree, before finding Al, Kevin had approached Hogan and Catherine to ask about related things, but they were all refused.
Originally, Al as a dark wizard was just his last choice, but he didn't expect Al to agree to him.
Looking at Kevin with a happy face, Al stood up and said to Kevin with a smile: "White wizards are not necessarily so humane, and dark wizards are not necessarily so evil, so some things, if you don't see them with your own eyes, you must treat them with a skeptical attitude, so that you can recognize the truth of things as much as possible." ”
After speaking, Al gestured to Kevin, who was a little embarrassed, and walked to the third floor first, and before coming to the bookshelf, he took out a book of occult textbooks that he had used when he was an apprentice in the 'Crow's Nest'.
Reaching out to Kevin, who was a little excited, Al went to his test bench, ignoring the fact that Kevin had begun to prepare the materials for the experiment.
At the same time, Al said to Kevin: "Kevin, you go back first, it's not that I'm afraid that you will see my experiments, but wizards' experiments are accompanied by a certain degree of energy radiation, which is very dangerous for ordinary people, so you better leave first, as for this book, I will take it back for you to read, when you finish reading it, when you will come to me for another one." ”
Nodding, after Kevin said goodbye to Al, he couldn't wait to leave the Blackstone Tower with the occult books he got from Al, and quickly returned to his manor to begin to study the knowledge in the books.
After Kevin left, Caesar, the crow standing on the bird's shelf, suddenly said to Al, "Boy, why are you so nice to that little guy, I really don't see that you have the potential to be a good person." ”
Listening to Caesar's teasing, Al smiled, crushed a sapphire he got from Kevin, and took out a sapphire fragment about the size of a fingernail of his little finger, and said to Caesar the Crow: "Three ordinary gems, two of them are indeed ordinary gems, but this sapphire is not ordinary, although there is only a small piece, but this small piece of aquamarine is enough to be the core of a small witch array."
Not to mention...... A kid who likes knowledge, it's really a bit like me back then, it's just a wizard apprentice-level book, and there is no shortage of books in the Evan family, this kid just doesn't want others to know about it, so why not help him, and I just need a local to provide me with some news, isn't it.
