Although Luhrmann Hank is only a non-hereditary viscount, as the Minister of Finance under the Imperial Executive Yuan, and at the same time the uncle of Duke Hank, a top wealthy family in the south of the Empire, he is also completely powerful in the noble Gaswell.

And perhaps it is this wealthy background that makes him different from his colleagues, not interested in wealth, pleasure, etc., but his biggest hobby is magic full of magical charm, and this happens to be the biggest regret in his life.

Although it was proved that he had a certain magical talent, due to his average mental power, it took him a full twenty years to barely be promoted to level 2, and he didn't even graduate from the magic academy, but only obtained the qualification to drop out, and after being promoted to level 2, he was never able to advance half a step.

However, he has an excellent understanding and research spirit in mathematics, which has created a new way of planning the imperial financial system, which is one of the most important reasons why he can become the Minister of Finance.

Approaching the age of seventy, maybe he will retire in another year or two, and his influence will be greatly reduced, so Luhrman Hank's biggest dream at present is to let his grandson Alex, who is just ten years old, become a mage, which is also the main purpose of his magic salon, to cultivate his grandson's interest in magic. Of course, it would be even better if he could get a magical academic title before the end of his life.

On weekend mornings, Luhrmann Hank sipped morning tea while reading the latest issue of the Junior Mage Weekly, and as for the same subscription to the Light of Magic, he usually only collected it, not read it, because the most cutting-edge advanced magical theories were beyond his knowledge.

At this time, the butler walked in and said softly, "Master, the guests are almost here." ”

"Good. I'll go over now. Luhrman Hank stood up, straightened the epic-quality mage robes he had bought for a full fifteen thousand gold coins, and asked, "Where's Alex?"

The butler replied, "The little master is still sleeping." ”

"This little bastard, I have already told him, there is a magic salon today, and he dares to lie in bed. Luhrmann Hank snorted and continued, "You have ten minutes to clean him up and take him to the drawing room. ”

"Yes, sir. The housekeeper remembered the little master's difficulty, nodded helplessly, and said, "Can you use that method?"

Of course, Luhrmann Hank knew what to do. His face became a little unnatural, but he still said, "If you feel it is necessary, I will allow it." ”

…………

A few minutes later, Ruhrmann Hank appeared in his living room, looking at the more than a dozen teenagers and girls dressed in various mage robes, most of whom were under the age of twenty, and sighed faintly.

Decades ago, like them, I dreamed of being able to embark on the path of magic, but now. He can only regret that time is not there, and fate makes people.

After a brief glance, the room was full of familiar faces, and they were now talking to each other in several circles. And yet in the corner. But there was a young man he had never spoken to before, who seemed to be looking at the oil paintings on the wall.

The young man was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes, and a hint of dark red in his black hair. Wearing an ordinary long black coat, he looks quite handsome.

"Who's that little friend?" asked the clerk next to him in a low voice.

The clerk's job is to keep a record of what happened in the magic salon. Of course, having learned about everyone, he immediately replied: "That is Mr. Leo Mineshir." ”

Luhrmann Hank thought about it, but didn't think that Gaswell had such a Minahill family, so he asked, "Not a local?"

"I don't know, but he came in a carriage from the Evra Palace. The clerk replied.

"Your Highness Alice?" Luhrman Hank was a little surprised, and became more and more curious about Leo, so he thought about walking into the depths of the parlor while dealing with the greetings of the boy and girl.

It seemed that he was looking too seriously, and Leo didn't notice that there were already people around him.

Luhrmann Hank coughed lightly and spoke, "This painting depicts the scene of the legendary mage 'Storm Summoning' His Highness Gasco Hank slaughtering demons. ”

Leo didn't look back, still staring at the oil painting, and subconsciously said: "No wonder this painting can give people such a shocking feeling, it turns out to be His Highness 'Storm Summoning', may I ask if he is casting the legendary magic of 'Thundercloud Storm'?"

"Yes, I was fortunate enough to see a legendary mage cast this legendary magic created by his ancestors, and the power was so terrifying that it made people lose the idea of escaping. ”

Hearing the word ancestor, Leo seemed to react at this time, and hurriedly turned around: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Hank, I was too fascinated by it. ”

Luhrmann waved his hand kindly: "It's okay, I can understand. We don't seem to have met, so can you introduce me?"

Leo bowed slightly and said, "It's an honor to meet you, my name is Leo Minehir, I'm from the Ruhr region, you can call me Leo." ”

"Oh, the Ruhr?" said Luhrman Hank, and then asked, "...... you and Her Highness the Princess?"

"I'm a commoner, and it's not easy to afford the expensive cost of magic. However, I was lucky, and not long ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess visited the Ruhr area and decided to sponsor me. Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Princess also said that the magic salon you held was very wonderful, so I took the liberty to come here, and I hope you can understand. Leo replied naturally, anyway, he didn't believe that anyone would dare to go to Her Royal Highness to question her.

Many of the people present had seen Leo for a long time, because they didn't know him, and Leo's clothes were very ordinary, not like he was born in a rich and noble family, so no one talked to him, and no one paid attention to him.

However, when it comes to civilian status and Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, it immediately attracts everyone's attention, some are curious, some are puzzled, and some are disdainful. As Gaswells, they knew that Alice was kind and kind, and she loved magic very much, and often qualified some potential people, so most of them, including Luhrman, immediately accepted Leo's statement.

But there are also many people who have such thoughts: "What potential can a civilian have, this kid won't hook up with the princess with that little white face." ”

After all, Luhrmann Hank is so old, so he doesn't have that kind of dark heart, and he likes Leo's calm and indifferent face to him very much, so he smiled and said: "Of course, the door of my house is always open to everyone who is interested in stepping on the path of magic. The salon is about to start, and if you have any ideas and opinions that you would like to express in a moment, please do not hold back, I look forward to your expression. ”

"Thank you, I will. Leo also smiled in return, and secretly said to himself in his heart: "It seems that the opening effect is not bad, and yesterday's homework was not done in vain." (To be continued......)
