Chapter 90: The Court Magician (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
After returning to land from the sea, Liu Yuan led a group of servants to repair in the fortress on the coast.
When Liu Yuan revealed his identity, the soldiers stationed in the fortress welcomed him, and when they saw the oversized beauty next to Liu Yuan, they welcomed him even more.
It's a pity that Liu Yuan and the others obviously didn't plan to stay here for a long time, and after staying for a while, Liu Yuan borrowed a few horses, and while it hadn't rained yet, they rushed to a nearby medium-sized city called 'Omlin' non-stop, and it was already night.
The appointment document given by Nero in his hand is enough to prove that Liu Yuan and the others are traveling because of the mission, and the cities along the way are obliged to provide them with convenience.
They were soon warmly welcomed by Lord Omlin and allowed to stay in the Lord's Fort temporarily.
Omlin's owner's name is Ariana, a widow with long Greek-style hair and a lingering charm.
Since the death of her husband, the previous lord, she quickly ended the power struggle with vigorous means and brilliant brains, and took the throne as lord. While carefully governing the city-state, she waited for her son, who had just turned eight, to grow up and inherit the throne.
In order to welcome Liu Yuan and the others, Lord Ariana set up a sumptuous banquet and introduced them to another of her distinguished guests, the supreme magician of the Roman court and a close minister of Emperor Nero, Simon Magis, known as the 'immortal magician'.
It was an old man who had wrapped himself in a gray robe, holding a wooden cane in his hand, slightly hunched over, and his arms exposed under his long sleeves were as thin as dry bones.
But the sharp gaze that shot out of the shadow of the hood, as well as the unwavering standing posture, made Liu Yuan intuitively feel that this person was probably not as easy to deal with as it seemed on the surface.
Magician Simon also saw through Liu Yuan's identity as a magician, snorted at him weirdly, and then skimmed the group of women around him, but this time he didn't see their true bodies, and seemed to only regard them as Liu Yuan's attendants, with contempt and disdain for Liu Yuan, a 'swinger brother who travels with prostitutes'.
He ignored Liu Yuan and the others, didn't even say hello, walked past them with a cane, walked to the guest seat next to Lord Ariana, and sat opposite Ariana's son.
Our poor little city lord had obviously never seen anyone with such an evil atmosphere, and he shrunk into a high chair and bowed his head in silence.
"I don't like that guy." Elizabeth behind Liu Yuan openly expressed disgust.
Others also frowned or shook their heads, seemingly of the same opinion.
In any case, it is still necessary to respect the host at the banquet, Liu Yuan and the others did not have a seizure, and successively found their place to sit down on the edge of the long table common in aristocratic families.
By the way, Yuzao Cat, a fox dog who likes to land on all fours, looks very serious in front of people, and actually sits beside Liu Yuan obediently, and does not talk to anyone, only cares about playing with the cat's paw sleeve in his hand.
Don't look at this glove is fluffy, like a doll and is not lethal, but Liu Yuan thinks that this thing is very likely to be a treasure. Otherwise, how did the jade algae cat kill the enemy through the gloves, and did it use a shot? It's impossible, her treasure is very bloody.
After a cursory glance, Liu Yuan shifted his attention to the plates brought by the maids. A roasted whole chicken placed in the middle is extremely conspicuous, steaming, and fragrant, firmly occupying his sight.
After sitting on a boat and a horse for so long, he would have been starving to death.
Olga Marie sat on the other side of Liu Yuan, looking strangely at the jade algae cat whose fox tail kept playing with Liu Yuan's back, and the big word 'fox spirit' couldn't help but appear in her mind.
She pursed her lips, feeling unhappy for no reason.
Roman told her that when you're feeling stressed, the best way to vent is to spend! And eat! Originally, there were two kinds of things, throwing objects and hitting people, but he did not support such behavior in principle.
As the head of the medical department of the Chaldees, Roman's words still have a certain authority.
But there is no way to consume, she doesn't have the money of this era, Liu Yuan may have it, but she didn't want it.
Does Olga Marie, the head of one of the Twelve Sovereigns' families, and the nobleman of the magic world, still borrow money from her own employees? Even if Liu Yuan was willing to give it, she didn't have the face to take it, it was too embarrassing.
So, now the only way is to eat! There's a bunch of delicacies right in front of me.
As a result, Olga Marie was also like Liu Yuan, holding a knife and fork in both hands, looking at the plate on the table and wandering out of the world.
After some introductions and greetings, the small welcome banquet officially began, and everyone quickly started.
But Liu Yuan soon found that everyone at the dinner table strictly abided by table manners except him, as reserved as European aristocrats, and even the Yuzao cat ate elegantly with knives and forks with its big cat's paw gloves....... I don't know how she uses the utensils with her hands through her gloves.
He struggled for a while, but still learned to face Steno, and restrained some of his rude movements, pretending to be presentable.
People kindly invite you to eat at home, you have to save some face, don't you?
What Liu Yuan didn't see was that Olga Marie next to him seemed to throw a funny look at him.
While eating, Liu Yuan quietly looked at the old man who covered himself in a gray linen robe, and muttered in his heart.
Why is the court magician ....... here?
The so-called court magician, isn't it supposed to live in the palace? An important minister of this level will definitely not leave the capital without an important dispatch.
Don't....... Going to war?
Liu Yuan was suddenly surprised.
Speaking of which, before leaving, Nero also specially instructed him that when he came back from the island, he could stop by in Omrin for the night, and he also sighed intentionally or unintentionally that this Omrin city is a key road, in case the enemy breaks through here, he can go straight through Omrin and drive straight into the chrysanthemum that explodes Rome.
Now most of Nero's troops are on the front line, although she has her own command in the rear, but the army around her is really not much, in case someone is overshadowed from behind, I am afraid that she will suffer heavy losses.
Liu Yuan was in a daze at the time, and he didn't know what Nero was telling him for this, so he just thought he was complaining, but now he suddenly figured it out - I'm afraid this is okay, right? Knowing that when he returned, Omlin would break out into a big battle that even the court magicians would participate in, so he deliberately asked him to join in by the way........
But is the water of war easy to mix! If you're unlucky, you don't know how to die!
Maybe everyone thinks that on the battlefield, the strong can live, and the strong live and the weak die is the norm.
Yes, this is indeed a truth, but when you are not strong enough to beat everyone, if you want to get out of the battlefield, it depends not only on strength, but also on luck - to be honest, most of it depends on luck, after all, the sword has no eyes, and if you are unlucky, you may be killed by friendly soldiers, which is really crying.
