Chapter 5: Magic Necklace
The Iolham family has grown over the years, and even in the castle in the countryside, there are two or three thousand people living around.
To the east of the castle is a small river separating the small countryside from the forest.
The locals call it the Agate River.
To the west of the river is a flat plain, with a radius of more than thirty kilometers, all of which are the domain of the Iorham family, and the land is fertile and pleasant, and the annual production of food is not only self-sufficient, but also able to sell to Severton and maintain the expenses of the castle.
After all, it is close to the royal city, and the territory cannot be too large, but it is also one of the richest territories.
There is also a reason why Count Eolem was able to obtain this territory.
Forty years ago, humans were still learning magic from the elves of Yerlan, regardless of the architectural mode and cultural ethos, they were biased towards the elves!
Many of the reliefs and ornaments in the castle have a strong elven style.
Until seven Netherians found 100 scrolls in the ruins of Erevandar in the Far Horn Forest!
The scrolls are golden and contain a new kind of magical art.
This is one of the biggest moments in the history of Nesser!
That year, the seven humans were known as the "Discoverers" by later generations, who at the time were unaware of the significance of the excavation.
As the discoverers explored the realm of ruins, there was an ancient ruin. It seems that there was once a race that stood on the ground on the wall. The chairs and the furniture they use tell people that these animals have more than just two legs - probably many times that!
The discoverers rummaged through the dilapidated building inside and out, looking for something valuable to sell back in. But when he discovered the golden scroll, they realized that the value of what they found was far more than the money they had been exchanged for. He then brought the scrolls back to Nesserel and asked the caster to study them.
The 100 Golden Scrolls are actually divided into two sets, 50 in a set, one of which looks much older and duller, and it records the making of magic items!
Later these gold scrolls were also known as "Color-Resistant Scrolls"!
A few years later, the casters of the Netherres discovered that the magic runes and techniques recorded on the scrolls were more suitable for humans to wield and possess greater magical powers.
At this time, human beings were no longer satisfied with these magic "given" by the elves, hoping to master this magical power by themselves, so they soon gave up the magic taught by the elves!
A few years later, the casters of new magic have a new name!
Arcanist!
…………
A horse-drawn carriage slowly came from the stone bridge over the Emerald River.
The carriage is emblazoned with a peculiar moon-shaped emblem!
The procession outside the castle was solemn, the roads lined with flowers and flags, and the knights and guards put on their bright armor early and stood on both sides of the road, and when the carriage passed, they held their 45° halberds high.
Viscount Gordon stood at the gate with the chief knight. The coachman skilfully drove through the middle, and when he reached the gate of the city, the carriage stopped.
Holding the handlebar with one hand, the people in the carriage stepped out, and Born, who was standing behind, finally saw the unmasked grandfather.
A middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, who looked six points similar to Viscount Gordon, dressed in aristocratic attire, with a well-proportioned and straight figure, and a green stone floating above his head.
It's a far cry from the scruffy bearded, root-wielding old mage of Vaughn's imagination.
I can't help but feel a little disappointed...
Born didn't expect that his movements would fall into the Count's eyes when he was a little distracted.
"Father, the banquet is ready."
Viscount Gordon stepped forward and said.
"Okay."
The Count nodded, and led the way into the castle.
The next was the meal, which was much more serious than usual due to the arrival of the Count.
Born was hungry all morning, and he was already dizzy, and soon he couldn't bear to grab the food and stuff the barbecue into his mouth.
Gordonzi looked at him gobbling up the knight, and couldn't help covering his face, the usual dining etiquette was gone.
After a sneak peek, he saw that the Count was eating his food quietly, with an elegant posture and an almost artistic demeanor, and he did not care about the way Bohn ate.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was under a lot of pressure on the earl, otherwise he would not have kept running to the countryside in the prosperous royal city.
When Born was seven minutes full, he unconsciously began to use the breathing method to digest the food, and then the fork in his hand couldn't help but eat, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his palm and back......
Born's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but show a shocked look, and then tried his best to control his facial muscles to keep smiling, and just raised his head to meet the eyes of Count Eolem!
The unsmiling Earl showed a rare smile, nodded to him, and continued to dine elegantly.
The Earl of Gordon on the side looked even more happy, and secretly said, "It's stable!" ”
After the feast, Born was dazed and didn't come to his senses until he returned to his room.
"What's going on?"
Bo De's heart is like a stormy wave, his back is wet, not only thinking about messy things, but also forgetting the dining etiquette!
The caution that has been cultivated for several years has also directly unloaded the defense.
Then the Count's eyes flashed to him as he got out of the car.
"It's that time!"
"It's supposed to be magic like [Psychic Mist], [Hypnotism], damn it! Worthy of the Arcanist of Nether! Sure enough, you shouldn't be careless. ”
Fortunately, Bohn only exposed some of his true nature out of caution, the identity of the traverser cannot be exposed, this group of arcanists is non-standard and ferocious, Bohn suspects that if he exposes his identity, the soul will be pulled out and sliced lightly, and he may reverse locate the earth in the previous life along the connection of the soul!
But what I didn't expect was that the breathing method actually broke the magic effect of the earl, and it seems that this breathing method does have some inevitable connection with the warrior monk!
In the setting of D&D, the warrior monk is a master of freehand combat skills, and the 'qi' can not only strengthen the three measurements of the individual, but also have the effect of 'breaking the demon'.
Measurements: strength, agility, and physique
It's rare that you can't be a legend, and you can beat the legend into a B (change) T (state) that is called Dad.
Night is about to fall, and the sunset on the horizon burns the clouds.
Castle Study.
When Born saw Earl Iolum again, Viscount Gordon stood aside, his face was a little not good, and the Earl's face was also angry, obviously the communication between the two was not very good before Born arrived.
Vaughn saluted obediently.
"Grandfather."
After seeing Beaune, the Earl was in a much better mood, and his brows were much more furrowed, and he walked up to Beaune and took a few serious looks, and rubbed his head.
Bohn hates people touching his head, although he looks like a child, but he thinks he is still an adult, a big man! Although the Count was his titular grandfather, since the Count was a high-ranking arcanist, he did not look old at all, and standing next to Viscount Gordon was a mature middle-aged man.
The Earl seemed to see that he was unhappy, and then laughed, and picked up Bohn directly.
Born looked confused.
Since he could walk, no one dared to hug him, and anyone who hugged him would be punched and kicked by him.
However, in the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two sides, Bohn is from the heart...
The old man who is more than 100 years old, and it is not normal to hug his grandson, so he should coax the old man to be happy.
"Little Bohn, this is for you, as your birthday present."
The Count took out a necklace in his hand.
The necklace is a yellow gemstone, and Vaughn has a good eyesight and can see the brilliance flowing in the gem.
Magical Accessories!
Viscount Gordon also showed a look of surprise, it seemed that the value was not low.
"Don't." Bohn turned his head and pointed to the green stone on the earl's head, "I want this!" ”
"Hahaha, this is not good, Vaughn is still young, if you want to become an Arcanist, grandfather will give it to you."
"What is an Arcanist?" Born asked, tilting his head, confused.
"Arcanists are the most powerful people who are the embodiment of wisdom, the most knowledgeable and truth-seeking." The Earl said.
"The best? Is it more powerful than God? ”
Vaughn asked in a ghostly manner, and he was stunned, and the Viscount Gordon on the side was also shocked.
The Earl paused, his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall, and the depths of his pupils shone brightly, and then said softly, "Yes." ”
Realizing that something inappropriate had been said, Born quickly changed the subject, and after a brief communication it was already certain that the Count had not noticed his anomaly.
The stone hanging from his chest finally hit the ground.
At this time, the drama spirit is online!
Born began to pretend to be stupid and cute, to see if he could pick up some good things on this cheap grandfather, and the Earl's laughter could be heard from time to time in the study.
A short time later, the old butler Walker knocked on the door and came in.
"Master, the party is ready, the guests are all here, it's time to start."
"Hmm." The Count nodded.
The afternoon banquet was to welcome the Earl, and the evening party was the celebration of Bourne's birthday.
The social networking of the nobles is all kinds of banquets and dinners, of course, the names are also very different, the surrounding rural nobles heard that the earl was coming, and they all took the initiative to come to celebrate Bourne's birthday, the earl is the vice president of Giles College, and they all want to take the opportunity to brush a familiar face in front of the earl.
Born scoffed, how he hadn't seen anyone in previous years.
The whole party basically revolved around the Earl and Viscount Gordon, thinking that the mages were a group of people who were difficult to contact, but I didn't expect Count Iolham to speak surprisingly well, so they all went to climb the relationship.
Bohn didn't like such an occasion, and after showing his face, he sneaked back to his room.
Taking out the magic necklace, his keen mental power could feel a powerful force in the necklace.
"Defense against magic?"
I don't know if it's constant magic, or one-time magic?
Bohn wasn't a spellcaster yet, so he couldn't feel what kind of magic the necklace was exerted!
But it was a nice surprise to get a magic item.
"Sure enough, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, so you still lose it or something..."
