Chapter 021: Flamel
It is not difficult to find out the location of the Flamel family's mansion in Virgina, and like the other three families, due to the large family power and the incredible area of the mansion, the family of this size is generally established on the edge of the imperial capital, far from the center of the imperial capital.

Caesar had no means of transportation, so he walked a long time to the mansion in front of him.
The high walls break all view from the outside world, and the looming castle in the middle of it is a glimpse of centuries of hustle and bustle. When you come to the main entrance, the large black iron gate is covered with green vines, not like the wild vegetation growing in the desert, but carefully embellished with green after pruning.
Caesar was studying how to enter the iron gate, when suddenly the iron door opened on its own.
This really startled him, and he immediately took three steps back in a row, looking suspiciously at the black iron door that was gradually opening in front of him.
What's the matter? This door also has an automatic sensor?
Caesar, who was puzzled, looked at the situation in the courtyard in front of the iron gate, but saw several young men in magic robes walking out dejectedly, and everyone's eyes showed only disappointment.
As if they hadn't seen Caesar, they walked through the iron gate, walked straight past him, and walked away along the only way.
Caesar looked at the backs of several people gradually disappearing behind the horizon in the sunset, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Brave men go all the way!"
"Sir, may I ask what is the matter?"
The sudden sound of a female voice behind him made Caesar jump three feet high, staggering back a few steps, and then cautiously looked back.
In front of him was a young woman dressed as a maid, looking at him with a puzzled and wary look.
"That...... I'd like to find Nicole-san. ”
Caesar scratched the back of his head and said hesitantly.
At this time, the vigilance in the woman's eyes became stronger.
"Looking for the second miss?"
The two were far away from each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
"What's wrong? Yuna, close the door when you send people away. ”
Some old voices sounded from not far away, with a slight reproach in their tones.
"Grandpa Fred, come over quickly! There is a suspicious person here, saying that he is looking for the second miss. ”
Yuna heard the old voice, as if she had suddenly found a savior, and quickly turned around and waved in the direction from which the voice came.
"Looking for the second miss?"
Fred, an old man in a black tuxedo, walked over unhurriedly and saw Caesar, who was standing straight at the door.
"Boy, do you have anything to do with our second miss?"
"That...... I'm your second lady's classmate, and I want to find her for something. ”
"Second Miss's classmate?"
Fred looked Caesar up and down suspiciously.
"You're also a student at the Royal High School of Magic, how do you not look like that?"
Caesar faced two stares looking him up and down, and cold sweat slid down his forehead little by little.
"I'm really your second lady's classmate, I don't believe you can just go in and ask her, just say that Caesar Abraham has something to look for her. ”
When he said "Caesar Abraham", Fred's eyes flashed with a hint of clarity.
"Oh, you're the 'tragic genius' with an eighth-rank elemental affinity but a damaged magic circuit. Why? Didn't you fall off the list? Why did you become our second lady's classmate again?"
Caesar didn't know when he had the title of "tragic genius" again, and he said helplessly:
"In order to enter this academy, I spent a lot of money. ”
Caesar told the truth, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it or anything dishonorable.
"Oh, are you in the 'special recruitment class'?"
Fred was a little surprised.
Caesar nodded honestly.
"Alas. ”
Fred sighed and looked at Caesar with some pity.
"The 'special recruitment class' is not very popular in the imperial capital, and the road you have to take in the future will be a lot more difficult. That's it, no matter what, now you are also a student of the Royal Academy of Magic, and you can be regarded as a classmate of the second lady, if you have something to find her, come in with me. ”
Fred said as he turned and walked in the direction of the castle.
When Caesar heard this, he immediately took three steps and made two steps, and followed.
Yuna still didn't dare to let her guard down, and quickly followed.
"I said, Uncle Fred, what are the people who just got out here for?"
"Uncle Fred?"
Fred blew his beard and glared at him.
"Call me Fred Butler, what is Uncle Fred?"
"Yes, yes, Fred Butler! Fred Butler! Uncle Fred is not a thing. ”
Caesar immediately corrected.
"That's right. ”
Fred nodded in satisfaction, but there was a vague feeling in his heart that something was wrong.
"The family is openly recruiting companions to accompany the second lady to the academy, and those who have just left have failed. ”
"Accompaniment?"
Caesar couldn't understand why these nobles had so many tricks, and they still needed to accompany them to school.
By this time, they had reached the castle. Looking at the majestic castle from afar, it is a little more vibrant when you look at it up close, and you can see that the owner has taken good care of this place.
"Let's go inside. ”
Fred opened the gates of the castle and invited Caesar in.
"Father, I don't want anything to accompany me. ”
Upon entering the castle, Caesar first heard a slightly annoyed female voice. Obviously, the second lady of the Flamel family was very dissatisfied with the recruitment of escorts.
Fred asked Yuna to wait at the door with Caesar first, and he entered the castle first.
After a while, Fred's voice rang out from it:
"Master, Second Miss, there is a Second Miss's classmate outside who said that he had something to find Second Miss. ”
"Looking for me, who's looking for me?"
Nicole's confused voice rang out.
He called himself Caesar Abraham. ”
The sound broke from here, and then there was a mysterious silence.
Soon, Fred's somewhat aged figure reappeared in front of Caesar.
"Please, Second Miss, please. ”
Caesar cautiously stepped into the castle and followed Fred, turning a few corridors to the intricately carved double wooden doors.
Fred's white-gloved hand knocked on the wooden door, and the melodious knocking echoed through the castle, as if it were an empty valley.
"Come in. ”
Fred gently pushed open the double wooden doors after hearing the command, and made a "please" gesture to Caesar.
Caesar hesitated, then took a firm step, stepping on the soft carpet.
The wooden door closed behind him, and Fred and Yuna didn't come in with him.
Caesar carefully examined everything that appeared in front of him, but the noble decoration had a sober style, and the tables and chairs were all made of pale wood, and a few light strokes of ink were lightly applied to the whole painting. Everywhere on the wall are landscape paintings with a long artistic conception, without strong colors, but a few brushstrokes are endlessly aftertaste.
This is where she once lived.
"You're Caesar?"
A majestic voice rang out, bringing the fugue Caesar back to reality.
The middle-aged blonde man standing in front of him must be Nicole's father, Alvar Flamel, the head of the Macedonian Empire's Royal Demon Mission.
Nicole was standing beside her father at this time, looking at Caesar with some curiosity.
On the sofa next to her, a beautiful blonde woman was sitting leisurely, looking at the book in her hand, and from her eyebrows, she looked a little like Nicole.
Caesar suddenly noticed that beside him, a young man was standing there with his head bowed, occasionally looking at him with a hostile gaze.
Caesar bowed to Alva and said respectfully:
"Hello, Lord Alva, I am Caesar. ”
"I've heard Nicole talk about you, and I've heard that you're an elemental affinity eighth? ”
"Don't dare to be, even if the elemental affinity is eighth, it's still a waste person who can't cultivate magic. ”
So said Caesar.
"I can't see that you're quite open, do you have something to do with Nicole?"
Caesar shook his head when he heard this:
"I didn't look away, in fact, I came to find Your Excellency today. ”
Hearing that Caesar was not looking for her, a few points of disappointment flashed in Nicole's eyes, and no one noticed these points of disappointment that happened to turn around, Nicole's mother, Doris.
Doris saw the meteor that crossed her beautiful face, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she looked at her daughter dotingly, and then looked at Caesar not far away, and the smile became even bigger on her face.
"Oh, looking for me?"
"Not bad. ”
"What's the matter with me?"
"Ask for medicine!"
Caesar was categorical, and the light of hope in his eyes was just like the bright stars.
