2. Night Banquet

Since the establishment of the Council of the Nine Towers more than forty years ago, the great astrologer of the Astrological Tower, one of the Nine Towers, has used magic to disperse the clouds over the entire gray plain, and used secret methods to enhance the visibility of the stars in this area, so that the astrologers can measure and estimate the trajectory of the starry sky, so whenever night falls, unless it is rainy, you can see countless stars falling from the dark sky, and with the lights of Sam City that are not extinguished all night, it will definitely make every first-time visitor lingerใ€‚ Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Eleven's preference was not for the bright lights, and in fact he had never liked the glitz of Sam, but for the intertwined tranquility, especially in the Mogding Manor, located on the outskirts of Sam City, where the evening was simply quiet and intoxicating.

"Ding Dong!"

It was not yet evening, and around dusk, the silence of Mogedin Manor was broken by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.

The servant Chang Ah Shu looked left and right, and saw that all the servants were busy for the upcoming Midsummer Festival, so he could only stand up by himself, since the Burg butler left with a dozen capable servants a few days ago, the manpower in the manor was getting more and more insufficient, he walked to the gate with an impatient face, opened the door and was about to let the reckless guys who came to disturb others at the beginning of the Midsummer Festival get out, but he was stunned to find that what appeared in front of him was a whole team of luxuriously decorated and thoughtful welcome convoys.

The well-trained plateau horses stood quietly in place, wagging their golden tails from time to time, and the rider holding the reins sat upright on the chair on the top of the carriage, and there was a horse lamp blessed by magic hanging beside him, the pale yellow light seemed faint, but the whole convoy was enveloped in it, and the four sides of the beautifully shaped carriage were hung with tassels fluttering in the wind, and even the pearl curtain was used luxuriously in the place of the door, and on the door, the thorn flower pattern made by the most skillful craftsmen had to say, it was like a dreamใ€‚

"It's... The Lagerph family's convoy!"

Ah Shu squinted, took a look at the badge outside the gilded carriage by the light, and immediately put away his impatient expression, and said respectfully and politely to the middle-aged man standing at the door, holding an invitation,

"May I ask which of the Laghrf lords you are here on? โ€

The middle-aged man opposite Ah Shu is obviously not an ordinary person, although his hair is all white, he is still meticulously combed, and his whole body is dressed properly, exuding a steady smell, he is holding an invitation made of expensive little goatskin in his hand, even if it is several yards away, Ah Shu can smell the faint scent of sandalwood on the invitation, it is definitely soaked in the best spices from the distant eastern mountains, one gram is enough to make ordinary people live a rich life for a year.

"I'm Hawkes, the housekeeper of the Lord's house in Lagelf, and I have brought an invitation from the old master to invite Lord Sass to dinner today. โ€

The middle-aged man spoke clearly and had a very good demeanor, and he didn't seem to be rude because Ah Shu was a servant, which fully demonstrated the strong temperament of the Lagelf family, which has been inherited for a hundred years.

"Well, please wait a moment!"

Ah Shu coughed lightly, took the invitation card in Hawks' hand with both hands, and then invited him to take a seat in the gatehouse, while he quickly walked to the small courtyard at the back of the entire manor, which was actually the residence of the little young master Eleven, but the people in the entire manor knew that the old master would be here to help the little master adjust his body at this time of day.

A few minutes later, because of the excessive use of magic power, coupled with the fact that he was already very old and sweating profusely, Sass took the invitation card handed over by Ah Shu with some impatience, looked at it roughly, and then nodded to Ah Shu,

"Well, I see, you go and tell old Hueman's butler, I'll clean up a little and I'll be over, and ask him to wait a little longer. โ€

Old Human is the old patriarch of the Lagerf family, and he is also an old comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with Sass when he was young, and the reason why the two mage families with a long heritage have stood firmly together for decades is because Sass and Human have been born and died together countless times, but due to age, the two old comrades-in-arms have not seen each other for several years.

"Grandpa, why did the Lagerff family invite you at this time? Don't they know that tomorrow is the Midsummer Festival?

Elivan, who was also sweating profusely, took the towel handed over by Little Lyle, wiped his face, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be dissatisfied and said to Sas, who closed his eyes and rested,

"Why don't we refuse them first, wait until after the midsummer festival, and then choose a time to invite Grandpa Xiuman to the house as compensation, what do you say?"

Elivan didn't want Sass to go to the Lagerph family to attend any dinner at this time, because his brother Rhys's promotion ceremony would be held immediately after the start of the Midsummer Festival, once Sass officially became a high-level mage and joined the Nine Towers Council, then the power of the entire Mogedin family would instantly rise to a higher level, and at that time, Mogedin, who was backed by the Nine Towers Council, would no longer have to worry about threats and attacks from the outside world at all.

But on the eve of Mogeding's leap into the dragon gate, the Lagerph family, who have always been known for their strict etiquette, uncharacteristically invited Mogedin to a dinner, which not only violated the rules of the lawyers, but also violated the taboo of the festival passed down from ancient times.

"Hmm... Little Eleven, don't worry, old man Xiuman didn't just invite his grandfather, but also a few other old men who killed orcs together back then, oh, by the way, I heard that there are nobles from the eastern mountains here tonight, and he asked me to take you and your brother with me, maybe I can be like your father back then, and I can hug the beauty back. โ€

Sass opened his eyes and touched his pale beard with a smile,

"Speaking of which, Rhys is almost an adult, and I really want to take him there tonight, so that those old fellows can see how majestic our Mogedin juniors are!"

Elivan motioned for little Lyle to take Sas's cane, and replied seemingly casually,

"It's not good, my brother is going to participate in the promotion ceremony of the Midsummer Festival tomorrow, if I don't have a good rest tonight, I will make a fool of myself tomorrow, I'll just go with my grandfather." โ€

Sass thought for a moment and nodded,

"Little Eleven's consideration does make sense, then you hurry up and change your clothes, I'll wait for you at the door. โ€

"Okay, grandpa, please first!"

Elivan said and suddenly grimaced at Sas, making the old man laugh and walk out of his house.

But as soon as Sass left, Eleven's little face became gloomy, and he walked to the desk with a cold face, carefully opened a secret compartment hidden in the bookcase, and took out a few things from it.

Those are also some of the "gadgets" that he has prepared for himself when he spent three years since he was born.

Three small jade bottles filled with turquoise potions, which contained the "wound medicine" he gave to little Lyle , Elivan, who used to be a researcher, was naturally sensitive to these things, although he was not familiar with eighty percent of the medicinal materials around him in a different environment, but with Mogding's might, it was completely possible to invite one or two excellent alchemists to teach Elivan these knowledge, and Saas and Pol themselves were among the best alchemists, and although he did not have enough sophisticated extraction instruments at hand, he still secretly got some absolutely expensive raw materials from the potions warehouse in Mogedin Manor, and then used some manual extraction methods that were not available in this world, combined with the words and deeds of his father and grandfather on weekdays, after failing more than a dozen times, finally made these three bottles of life-saving elixir, which can be taken internally and externally, and the hemostasis and regeneration effect is beyond imagination.

He even used small animals to do some "cruel" experiments, and finally proved that this agent also has a strong stimulant effect on the human spirit, and can play a stimulant role in a short time.

Two short swords secretly created through the channel of the mercenary captain father of Little Lyle, the shape is strange similar to a dagger, the sword body has dark red blood grooves on both sides, enough for a cow to bleed clean blood in a few minutes, and the short sword handle also carries four bracelets, once the finger is embedded in it, it can ensure that the weapon will not fall under any circumstances, and it can also increase the lethality of the short sword, which seems to be an inconspicuous short sword material is also called "luxury" Due to the addition of a small amount of Adamantite Gold and Ser Silver, these two short swords can be called indestructible, and they also have a certain demon-breaking effect, which can definitely give the opponent a big surprise when the short body touches.

The rest are four pieces of crystal clear, enough egg-sized magic crystals, if Pol Mogedin is here, he will definitely exclaim that this is four of the several best magic crystals stolen from the manor last year, yes, that clumsy "theft" is from Elivan's handiwork, when he just learned the most basic kinds of magic arrays, itchy hands want to practice, and it just so happened that he saw a few pieces of the best magic crystals sent by the Mogedin family's enchantment workshop, and he didn't stop for a while, and the result was the "killer feature" in his hand now.

Magic crystal is one of the most widely used magic materials on the Eldor continent, whether it is a basic magic array or a high-level rune magic array, or even the highest level of joint magic array, and even some high-level magic with harsh spell conditions, it is inseparable from the support of magic crystals, generally speaking, magic crystals are divided into crystal ore and magic core (the heart core of the magic beast), and under special circumstances, some extremely high-quality magic crystals will naturally be produced, but whether it is crystal ore or magic core, it contains very powerful elemental power, the purer the magic crystal, the higher the elemental power contained in it, generally speaking, the crystal ore tends to be stable, and the magic core inherits the violent character of the monsters and tends to be active, so the crystal ore is mostly used for the laying of magic circles, and the magic core is mostly used for releasing magic, that is, for combat. (Excerpt from "The Crystal and the Circle" --- by the Arcane Archmage Albert Einstein)

The four magic crystals in Elivan's hand are all from crystal ore, and they are all pure and intoxicating, and their power is needless to say, ordinary enchanters will not use this kind of treasure to make magic tools, because this is simply an insult to these four magic crystals, but as a "second generation of magic" The experience of his previous life told him that the more internally stable and extremely dense the energy, once the stability is broken, the power of the explosion is far higher than the loosely arranged energy, so he didn't care about the earnest teaching of his father and grandfather, and after completely mastering the method of "enchantment-bursting", dozens of bursting runes were densely engraved on the four magic crystals that night, so that once he encountered a heavy blow, he could instantly burst out all the elemental power in the magic crystals.

"Hmm... The grenade Dafa is tied to the throat~ah~ah!"

Eliven picked up a magic crystal and tossed it up and down in his hand, humming a strange little tune, and he carefully inserted two short swords into his fawnskin boots, and when he stood up, a sinister smile came to his lips.

"Lagerph, hum, smack!"

He gestured to the huge dressing mirror for a headshot, and then dashingly put the four magic crystals into the most intimate pocket, and then walked out of the house triumphantly.

At this time, Elivan did not know that this would be the last time he would leave this house.
