Chapter 49: The Legacy of Ranstadt
The interior of the Mage's Tower was much wider than it looked outside, the candleless candlesticks emitting a cold glow reflected on the pale masonry walls, and looking up, the spiraling staircase was hidden in the dark mist. (Starter)
"Don't go up the stairs" is a joke among mages, and the stairs in the towers, as the first line of defense inside, usually have countless traps, and it is impossible to move forward without the permission of the owner. The spiraling staircase implies the meaning of "ring", so it is easy to lay out the spatial labyrinth. Thieves who covet the riches of the towers often lose their lives in the seemingly endless staircase.
The magician girl, who knew this, did not go upstairs, but came to the round platform in the center of the ground floor engraved with a demonic array. In the center of the round platform is a life-size stone sculpture. She bowed to the statue on the round platform in accordance with traditional mage etiquette, and then took out a simple wolf tooth necklace from her bosom.
"The heirs of the Ranstadt family have come to ask for help!"
The girl's voice fluctuated with magical power, spreading out layer by layer, echoing in the empty tower.
After a long time, an old, deep voice said:
"You are not of the Ranstadt blood. ”
"Ranstadt's bloodline is broken!"
Tiana held up the necklace and said loudly:
"My sister is the last of Lanstadt's bloodline, and before she died, I swore in the name of my lord Pero to take revenge on his enemies with the ancestral token of the timberwolves!"
A gray light shot out of the dark fog and shone on the wolf's tooth necklace in the girl's hand. A brownish-gray image of a giant wolf rushed out of the necklace, and raised its head to let out a long, desolate howl, which seemed to be full of sadness and anger, and the determination of farewell.
It wasn't until the virtual image of the giant wolf slowly dissipated that the old and deep voice sounded again.
"I heard the last words of the descendants of the wolf, the knight who was proud of his death on the battlefield, who was conspired by intrigue and intrigue with all his blood, and who was the duty of the timberwolves who guarded the north but fell into the filth of evil. ”
"I also heard the child's last wish, and she thanked you for being with her until the last moment, and hoped that you could live happily and happily in her place, instead of avenging her and facing the endless darkness alone. ”
"I have no choice!" Tiana's hand holding the necklace trembled, but her tone remained firm: "It's not just Miria, there are many, many people, I can't save their lives, I can only carry their hatred forward. ”
"Everyone has the right to choose their own path, and since you have made up your mind, then ......" the old and deep voice paused: "You can use my ...... Heritage. ”
As soon as the words fell, the statue in front of the girl suddenly moved. Pieces of stone on the statue's exterior burst apart, revealing a teleportation tunnel hidden inside.
"The inheritance that was originally intended to be left to the descendants of the family is now being handed over to you. Thank you, kid, for all you do for Ranstadt. The old man's voice grew deeper and deeper until it was gone.
Tiana sniffed, carefully tucked away the wolf tooth necklace, and looked up and walked into the portal.
When the girl walked out of the tower, she finally returned to her perfect peak state, and when she was fully armed, powerful magic fluctuations immediately alarmed the entire public academy.
Even Antonio, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but show surprise, although he had expected it in his heart, the girl still refreshed his cognition again and again.
"I'm curious why I've never heard of a chosen woman like you, like a diamond, can't hide her shine even if it falls into the dust. ”
Antonio smiled and stretched out his hand, helping Tiana to board the carriage, while he sat down opposite the girl and asked with interest.
"I used to be just an unknown person, and it's not surprising that adults haven't heard of it. Tiana put away her staff and put her hands together on her knees, and the powerful momentum of the silver rank gradually retracted, returning to a low-key and restrained state.
"In the face of disasters, people always grow up quickly, and I think adults themselves are well aware of this. ”
Antonio nodded noncommittally, in fact, in order to choose a suitable partner for him, the White Lion family had collected information on almost all the daughters of celebrities in the north of the kingdom, and he was sure that there was absolutely no such young lady among them. As he said, neither the stunning beauty covered by the scars on the girl's face nor the amazing talent she has shown so far is likely to remain anonymous.
The two of them knew each other's suspicions, and Antonio didn't rush to ask. What really made him choose to trust the magician girl was not these undocumented identity backgrounds, but the aristocratic temperament and etiquette that Tiana naturally showed between her gestures. Identity can be disguised, but the temperament cultivated in the family since childhood is difficult to change.
Just like the posture of the girl sitting with her hands on her lap now, no matter how bumpy the carriage is, it will not change in the slightest. If the daughters of those small aristocratic families want to learn this kind of etiquette, they need to hire a professional etiquette teacher, spending a lot of time, money and even blood and sweat. And for the aristocratic and wealthy families who really have a background, this kind of style is as natural as eating and drinking. The common tone of the northerners is strong, and the maiden speaks with clarity and clarity, with an aria-like tone and abruptness, in the standard Aryan style. This style has long been regarded as a characteristic of ancient heritage, even royal blood.
This pronunciation sounds beautiful and moving, but it is not easy to imitate, unless there is a native environment, otherwise the average person will not be able to practice tongue cramps. Even Antonio himself failed to learn, so he is even more certain that Tiana's true identity is much more than just the Timberwolves.
"Seventy years ago, Doria Lanstadt came to the public academy to teach the basics of magic and built a tower there. At the time of her death, she made a will to leave the tower to the descendants of her family. It's a pity that no one in the Timberwolves family has been able to meet the inheritance qualifications over the years, so that it has been abandoned to this day. ”
Antonio knew a lot about the history of public colleges, and he clapped his hands and smiled, "Now I want to congratulate you on inheriting Master Doria's 'Blue Veil' and 'Arc Smasher'. The reappearance of these two legendary weapons in history is sure to arouse the covetousness of others, even I am a little jealous. ”
"The short-sighted can only see the immediate benefits, completely ignoring the dangers behind them. When a natural disaster strikes, they will pay for it. ”
Tiana said in a cold voice with an expressionless face, her eyes became cold, making Antonio, who was looking at her, feel a tingling pain in the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but look away.
Originally, he just came to verify his identity with the idea of being dispensable, but he didn't expect Tiana to make such a big scene. The magician girl herself has the strength of the silver rank, and after inheriting the legendary weapon, it has become more and more unfathomable. If before this Antonio had the confidence to control the girl, now this confidence is somewhat less sufficient.
The young lord suddenly realized that he seemed to have unleashed a monster.
"Adults need not doubt my loyalty. ”
Tiana saw Antonio's concerns, smiled and said, "As long as Isttalon has not fallen, I will always be at your disposal." ”
"Miss Tiana, don't talk too much. If Istaron could really stop the spread of the plague, would you stay forever?" Antonio asked half-jokingly.
Unexpectedly, the magician girl thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "Although there is no hope for this, if you can really prevent this disaster, my lord, I will swear allegiance to the White Lion Family." Even if you have a special request......"
"Like being my woman?" Antonio's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively.
"If this is your wish......," Tiana took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and nodded, "I promise." ”
"You've given me a reason I can't refuse. Antonio was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palm and smiled.
Stimulated by Tiana's conditions, a flame called "Ambition" finally appeared in the eyes of the young lord.
