Marie's answer was incomprehensible to Louis: "I remember you said that mortals cannot enter the inner world. ”

"Because those are not mortal either. "Varro Vesalius said as a matter of course," said Valo Vesalius, "Miss Mary's wording is a little problematic here, I mean, they, no, should say they're all sent into the inner world as materials, just like our luggage, and of course the corpses and ghosts don't bite at furniture and instruments, and that's the same. ”

Louis paused, very briefly, if Mr. Bishop was here, he would have noticed, but only Marie and Varro Vesalius were here.

"Well, they," Louis asked cautiously, "they were ...... when they entered here Are you dead?"

"So to speak," Vesalius said, "their souls are destroyed, leaving only obedience and instinct. ”

Mary nodded absentmindedly.

Louis remembered the Lyre Mos they had seen on the Nightmare Carriage, and he stared at Varo Vesalius for a moment, unable to see the unease and fear in the wizard whose grandfather was only a mortal.

No one knows that it was from this moment that the king made his judgment, and although many things have happened since then, it has never been shaken or changed.

Louis came to the inner world to be treated, but for the people of the inner world, he is the Duke of Colonna, and interestingly, the Duke of Colonna's name is the same as him, although in the inner world and the table world, this name is only a few people can call it.

The poison and curse that Louis received are difficult to heal in the surface world, and the monks of the Inquisition can pray and purify him, but their speed is definitely not able to catch up with spells and poisons, but in the inner world, it can be said to be a little tricky, after all, those who control the inner world are not stupid enough to directly break the tacit understanding between the inner world and the surface world, so the wizards and potions masters that the assassins can help should only be some lowly foreign wizards Vesalius and Mary think so.

Louis also thinks so, but this also shows that the situation in the inner world has become so bad that it can no longer be tightly controlled, those high-ranking wizards and nobles are not as powerful and sophisticated as they say, and the foreign wizards they despise are not as docile and innocent as they think, the current inner world is similar to those chaotic areas with destructive weapons a hundred years later, and the violent turmoil within them seems to have nothing to do with the calm outside world, but the people who come out of there, Things and things are undoubtedly a devastating blow to people who are accustomed to a peaceful life.

Like the two assassinations that Louis encountered, mortals are like babies to warriors when they encounter wizards or dark creatures in the inner world, and the latter, whether wizards, werewolves, or vampires, clearly have a contemptuous attitude towards mortals.

It can only be said that the current mortals are lucky that the number of dark creatures and wizards in the inner world has been compressed to a terrible point by the narrow living environment, so the order of this world can barely maintain a balance, perhaps the so-called agreement, but also the rulers of the inner world and the surface world discovered this and was determined.

The mansion they were in was beautiful, and the convenience and sophistication of magic could have made a mortal linger, but Louis never forgot the indifferent look and tone of Marie and Vesalius when he mentioned the "tools" scattered in the wilderness, perhaps to wizards, mortals would always be one order below them.

And Marley's usual stubbornness, Louis at first regarded them as all the innocence of a little girl, and now that I think about it, this naivety is also a little cruel, just like what Marley wanted to do when he was injured and unconscious, and she didn't know how much effort Louis put into becoming a competent ruler?

But she still wants Louie to enter into a blood marriage with her and become a lowly wizard. Perhaps in her heart, even the humblest of wizards were stronger than mortals.

If it weren't for Prince Theoderic, of the House of Van Dro, he might have been forced to become the second Varro Vesalius by now, perhaps worse than Varro Vesalius, who, perhaps out of resentment, or perhaps more accustomed to following the orders of the surname Mancini, did not stop him.

Louis had nothing to say about it, and he was also responsible for making that decision, so he crossed out the name of Varo Vesalius in the booklet in his heart.

The only thing that would make Louis happy was that his health was really getting better, he could walk around the courtyard by himself for a while, he could ride a unicorn (Pegasus didn't work for a while), or play with the leprechauns for a while, and he could read a book for a morning or an afternoon, which were either Greek or Latin, and he had learned both languages, and he had learned them well.

But almost all of the books prepared here are from the world. So on a sunny morning, Louis asked Luca, the manager, if there were any merchants or shops that bought books.

Luca was a calm man, he glanced at Louis and asked respectfully, "It's better to choose the books yourself, then, Your Highness, would you like to go out for a walk?"

"Can I?" asked Louie.

"Absolutely, Your Highness. Luca said, "Your body now allows you to look around, and you must be curious if you're back here for the first time." ”

"That's true. Louie said.

Lukka didn't mention Vesali, although Vesalius should be counted as the first squire next to Louis, but when he noticed that Louie summoned him more than Vesali, he quietly brought up another servant, Tuno, so when Vesalius came out of the potions room for lunch, he found that Louis was not there, he paused for a moment and asked the servants next to him where they went, of course, he couldn't get an answer, at that time, Louis had already appeared in the ring of the castle in the company of Luca and Tuno.

The inner world here inherited many ancient Roman things, including public baths and gladiatorial arenas, and some places of love, Louis had no interest in the latter, he was not a keen courtship, and he was more afraid of the disease at this time From Vesali, I know that the herbs and medicine of wizards take precedence over mortals at this time, but compared to a hundred years later, it is not worth mentioning, at this time there is already syphilis, and the syphilis on some wizards has also mutated, which is more deadly.

But in addition to these, wizards also have fixed and mobile bazaars, mobile bazaars are mainly outside the castle, that is, the castles that Louis saw when he came, the fixed bazaars are within the castle, but if you want to find books, you must find them within the castle, after all, books, especially the books of wizards, are a very important asset.

The bazaars in the ring are located in the main square, and they are divided into seven equal parts by six passages that radiate from the central point, and there are nullahs on both sides of the passages, and the water is turbulent inside, and each large parity market sells only the same type of goods, which can be used for money that circulates among wizards, or can be bartered.

Wizards generally wear monochrome robes, with pointed hats, or pull up the hood, generally speaking, the family history of the wizard with the pointed hat is often not as good as the history of the family wearing the hood, although at first it was only because of their respective traditions, but unconsciously, the hood became a status symbol, Louis is now the Duke of Colonna, so his dark purple velvet cloak has a large gold-brimmed hood hanging from the outside, and he also holds an ebony silver foot staff that exceeds the top of his head, which is said to be a necessary configuration even if he has a spell now。

Louis came to observe and satisfy his curiosity, so he chose to walk, but there were many mounts of wizards, pegasus belonged to the noble lineage, but there were wizards riding large three-headed dogs, and wizards straddled giant owls, and some wizards sat on slow flying carpets, and some wizards even chose to ride broomsticks, "Is there a rule that you are not allowed to ride a manticore?" Louis asked, "Yes, Your Highness," Luca replied, "It is an official mount, and it is not allowed to appear in the bazaar in non-emergencies." ”

As for why a bazaar is only allowed to sell one type of goods, it is probably because......

After a terrible scream, in the nullah beside Tuno, the water suddenly overflowed and flew up, and in an instant a crystal glittering wall was formed Louis was protected behind Luca, but he was now tall enough for him to see what happened after the transparent barrier, it turned out that a wild monster in the shop ran out, scratched the face of a wizard and tore off the arm of another wizard, it was a sphinx with its wings spread about ten feet, this monster from Egypt had the face of a woman, the body of a lion and the wings and claws of an eagle, it lost a claw, and the wings on the wings did not know whether it was itself or the blood of a wizardIt could have fled, but out of anger, it frantically attacked each wizard At this time, you can see the respective reactions and abilities of the wizards, some wizards in plain clothes and pointed hats react quickly, but their spells can barely restrain the sphinx, the wizards wearing hoods react slowly, but they have servants by their side, and when the minions fall or are injured, their whistling spells bind the sphinx to death, and it falls from the ground to the nullah, but no matter how it bites and struggles, it can't affect the wizards of the other division。

It turned out to be a cordon and a barrier, Louis thought, the first time he saw a monster full of wildness like the Sphinx, it was even more shocking to him than when he saw a unicorn, because when he saw a unicorn, the first thing that came to mind was that there was indeed a dish called unicorn soup on the court menu, and at that time he thought it was another name for a narwhal, but after seeing a unicorn, he wondered if there was really a king who ate a unicorn.

It happened quickly, and it ended quickly, and the two wizards riding the manticore fell from the sky, although all they had to do was fine and confiscate the sphinx: "What about the wounded wizards?

"It depends on whether their family is willing to give them medicine, Your Highness. Luca said.

"Can wizards get severed limbs back?" Louie asked.

"It's hard," Luca said, "because it requires blood from the Bloodlines to give it voluntarily." ”

Maybe it was because of hearing Luca's words, a wizard wearing a hood glanced at them, and suddenly grinned, Tuno couldn't help but tremble after seeing his two sharp teeth, Luka's face was also a little bad, the blood clan rarely appeared in the daytime, so he replied casually, although there was no disrespect for the blood clan in the words, but ......

The kitten in Louie's pocket popped out of its head and meowed.

The Blood's face suddenly turned strange, and he seemed to want to say something, but the cat meowed again, and his gaze lingered for a moment on the heraldic pin that Louis used to secure his cloak, then bowed, and hurried away.

Louis heard Luca sigh softly.

"The relationship between wizards and bloodlines seems to be good. Louie said.

"Better than werewolves. Lukka was a little more careful this time, but werewolves were less likely to appear in the wizard's bazaar than the Bloods: "There is a clan in the Bloods that was converted by wizards, and there is often cooperation and trading between the Bloods and wizards. ”

"What about werewolves?"

"Werewolves are more arrogant," Luca said, "and wizards think werewolves are more akin to animals than to people." He hesitated: "In the Wizard's Ring Castle, werewolves are generally only possible in the gladiatorial arena. ”

In the gladiatorial arena, then you don't have to ask what role the werewolves play in it, it's the referee or the spectator who is always missing.

Their section sells the most knowledge-related things, books are the most, but like many bazaars, the main shops are concentrated in the center, and there are almost only wandering merchants and unknown wizards, many of which are manuscripts and annotations, some of which are deliberately raised to a very high price, and the owner will talk nonsense, saying that it is from Merlin or Vivien, or any famous wizard, but when you open it, you will find that it is full of things like children's literacy textbooks, and some are not allowed to open at all, and some are weathered at the touch of Louis did not expect to see porcelain here, but none of these people would have invited Louie to wear a coat of arms, a hanging hood, and a servant behind him, and it was clear that they also knew that such a wizard was not a good object for their extortion.

But Louie still took a few items from it with great interest, and it wasn't all liars, he had a book on herbs in his hand, and as soon as he opened it, the corresponding page of herbs grew out of it, although Luca said that it was an illusion, but Louis thought it would be useful, uh, he said, and when he had identified the herbs inside, it did match the description in the book.
