Chapter V: Inheritance
After a strange feast, Emmivi had no time to study how the four low-level demons made metal utensils out of thin air, and they dismantled them the way they had been made. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"This is the 'borrowing' magic unique to the devil, and it is not the same system as the magic of our witches, and even if you stare at it all day, you can't understand how magic can turn 'non-existence' into 'existence'. β
The servants cleaned up the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and Wendini led Emmyway back to the hall on the first floor.
"So they have to 'return' the instrument at the end, because the instrument doesn't exist in the first place, and their demonic magic only changes the intermediate process of the magical effect. β
Emmivia's words made Wendini's eyes light up, she hadn't understood the concept of cause and effect so quickly, and witches' magic wouldn't involve such brain-burning theories.
"You're guessing the same as the accepted explanation in the witch world. Emmyway, don't think of saying anything in the future. It's going to get you in trouble. Wendini led Emmyway straight to the huge full-length portrait of the original head of the house in the hall. "Come with me, I have something to ask you. β
Wendini beckoned, and a ripple like water appeared on the huge portrait, and Wendini carried Emmiway through the portrait smoothly and into the hidden space.
Emmiway opened her eyes again, and there was a room without doors or windows, and behind her hung a miniature full-length portrait of the first head of the house.
"This is the study of your grandmother, the first head of the family, which I have connected from the castle outside the city to the new mansion now. Remember, don't break the stuff in this room, or I'll get angry. β
Wendini waved her hand to light the magic lamp in the room, the whole room was different from the extravagant style of the mansion, there were only centuries-old furniture, and even the magic lamp was made in the shape of a wall-hanging candle, which was completely different from the magic lamp embedded in the wall in the mansion.
Wendini sat down in her chair, then gestured to a chair across from her. "Sit down. β
Emmiway sat down obediently, and in the strange atmosphere around her, she vaguely felt that something very important was going to happen.
"Hey, elemental elves, come out and meet your master's granddaughter. β
After Wendini finished speaking, a ghostly fire appeared in the air, and then a wriggling creature of an irregular shape appeared between the two, lazily spread on the tea table, and purple triangular eyes glanced at Wendini and Emmivi.
Emmiway rubbed her eyes, and there was still a strange creature in the shape of a black glutinous rice cake on the tea table. "Elemental elves?"
"Well, elemental elves are rare, and it's normal for you not to know. It's your grandmother's magic, and it existed before the birth of humans. β
"Grandma?" Emmiway thinks it's more appropriate for her mother's mother to be called "grandma", why Wendini uses the word "grandma" to refer to her.
"Your father is a member of our Sinecal family. The inferior human being married the great witch who dominated Europe at that time, instead of being a son-in-law, did he want our family to help him hang the title of Roman emperor first?!"
Wendini's gentle tone immediately sharpened at the mention of Emmyway's father, and she stomped her foot twice to suppress the anger that Emmiway was unaware of.
"Let's not mention the waste man who doesn't know if he's dead or not. Elemental Elf, Dhaka. Emmivia, as my sister's daughter, returns to the Sinekar family, do you have no opinion?"
The elemental elves returned to their dango shape, their triangular eyes facing Wendini. "You've already done a ceremony for Miss Emmière to recognize her as a witch, and you've asked me what a grave keeper does, if I had to say, Miss Emmivi is Shatilla's daughter, and she seems to be very talented in magic. In the future, it is natural to inherit the Sinekar family. How can I have an objection?"
"You are my mother's most trusted messenger, and to me and my late sister, you are like a predecessor to the Sinecal family. Excluding you is not humane. "Wendini has her own calculations, and it's one thing to like Emmyway, and it's another to have her hand over the position of head of the house.
"Emily, in this way, it's basically settled. You are the heir to our House of Sinecal from now on, and when you have the strength to wield the wand of Ancestor Alice, you will be in charge of House Sinecal and all of Florence. Wendini smiled and shook Emmyway's hand and told her, "Although you are very talented, your aunt wants you to seriously improve your magic skills." Otherwise, even if I make your own decisions and let you be the head of the house, other witches will find an excuse to come to the door to make trouble. Don't take other witches as people you can trust, just as you and I are talking, I don't know how many witches are attracted to the Florentine area. β
Emmivi didn't understand Wendini's words, but only understood the gist, first discussed with the elemental elves and decided to let her inherit the position of the head of the family, and then said that she wanted her to have the strength to inherit the position of the head of the family as soon as possible and keep the inheritance of the ancestors.
Wendini never mentioned that she was now the head of the house, and even the wand of the ancestor Alice was only vaguely mentioned, but only for the elemental elves.
"The head of the house or something......"
Emmivi was about to give her opinion, but Wendini immediately made a stop gesture,
"Elemental elf Dhaka also thinks that this way of dealing with it is more suitable for the current situation, right?"
The black glutinous rice cake-like demon slowly floated back into the air as it appeared, "There's nothing wrong with that. Miss EmmiΓ¨re is too young, and indeed she needs to exercise well to take on the load. β
"I'm going back to Lord Alice's mausoleum now. I haven't been in touch with things outside for more than 100 years, so I can't help much. There's something I can do to help in the future, just come here and call me to wake up. Black flames ignited from the elemental elves, and they vanished without a trace.
Wentini didn't expect a ball of glutinous rice cakes to help her from the beginning, she just saw her mother Alice in the face, and used the elemental spirit as the family's advisor.
"Emmyway, take care of your business. I think we can talk about ......."
"Wait, auntie, I don't want to take over the position of head of the family or something. "Emmyway's mind has been slowing down since she was pulled into this closed study, and she has not been able to keep up with the speed of Wendini and the elemental elf Dhaka. She thought that although she was not good at Italian, she had difficulty listening, and she was too embarrassed to speak. "I went back to this house just to gain family support and avenge my mother! Of course I would like to devote myself to practicing magic, but the position of head of the family will be spared. For one, I'm not good at governing territorial affairs, and I'm relatively disgusting. Second, avenging my mother is the only thought I have now, even if you want to force me as the head of the family, aunt, I will never accept it until I avenge my mother. β
Emmyway's tough attitude greatly surprised Wendini's expectations, in her opinion, Emmyway should not be a child with a weak brain, and must also want to get the position of the head of the family and become the queen behind the Florentine Republic. Wendini had reason to believe that one of her students would 100% want to be her adopted daughter and have a chance to inherit the Sinecal family.
This caught Wendini, who had thought of a variety of strategies before the dinner, and she and Ben were not prepared for how to deal with Emmyway's wording that she did not want to be the head of the house.
"Emmyway, don't talk nonsense. Wendini slapped Emmyway's forehead in anger, "You are the only descendant of your sister, and it is your duty to inherit the position of head of the family." If you don't want to, put this topic aside for now. You'll understand when you grow up. β
Emmiway nodded, but she still rejected the inheritance family in her heart, she was trained with weapons since she was a child, and she only pursued the most exquisite killing skills in addition to being an avenger and a witch. It's just that magic is more effective than metal weapons to kill, and she chooses to continue her goal with magic in the future. She didn't dare say it, because she decided that Wendini would never allow her to pursue murder.
Anyway, if you learn magic well, you can kill people more efficiently, and Emmivi really wants to go to Eastern Europe right now and tear her mother's killer to shreds.
"About your mother......" Wendini changed her words and sighed slightly. "How did she die?"
Emmivi recalls the memories recorded in her veins, and hatred swells up, even if the fragments of memories are not very complete. But Emmivi recounted what she knew about the fierce battle 15 years ago.
"You said your mother had established a branch in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and you happened to be born that year?" said Wendiny, marking a world map with her pen. "It seems that it has nothing to do with the Vatican, and Muscovy is completely under the control of Constantinople. β
Regardless of the difference between Orthodox and Catholic, Emmyvi is the witch's enemy in her eyes, and must be eliminated from them all. "So the forces that killed my mother were the humans led by this city?" she said, pointing to a city on the map between the Aegean and Black Seas, eager to pierce it with her fingers.
"Emyway, calm down!" Wendini saw that Emmivi had a knot in her mind about her mother's murder, and Emmyway's magic became irritable, and Wendy didn't want Emmyway to become a beast that couldn't control her anger. "The mysterious side of Muscovy did not intervene too much. Your mother also traveled thousands of miles to develop the witch power over there. Similarly, the Orthodox Mediterranean balds did not have the ability to establish a full-fledged subdivision of influence in Muscovy. You know, your mother was very strong, and there was hardly anyone on the entire continent who could win her one-on-one. Judging from your description, attacking the Far Eastern Witch Branch is no less powerful than an army, and from your description, both sides have paid a great price. But your mother can't just because she's been injured and can't fight. β
It was only when Emmivi heard about her mother that she regained a little bit of her senses. "What do you mean?"
"Your mother has an iconic demon - the Helldragon. I don't care what's going on over there, you've never seen a Hell Dragon, have you? It's so unusual, the enemy didn't start attacking until you were born, but you don't have any fragment of the Hell Dragon in your memory. This is absolutely impossible, your mother rode it every day on the European continent to fight the enemy. β
