Chapter 31: The Prologue to the Ball

After Robert left, Leo sat back on the couch, and due to the excessive physical exertion in the morning, he returned to the room and slept without eating, and now he had time to analyze.

"The sword skills that Robert taught me have almost been learned, but they are only basic sword skills, and the effect is very poor, and it seems that if you want to continue to improve, you have to ask a powerful swordsman for advice. And I can't feel the original energy, and I can't exert much power just by fighting with sword skills, which is really a problem......"

Leo knew that feeling the Primal Energy was the same as the Psychic Power, and that the Minahir family had never had any characters who could feel the Primordial Power, so it was likely that he couldn't either.

"It seems that we can only wait to obtain the 'magic weapon' to transform into the original energy, but according to Robert, for battle mages, it is not important whether they can feel the original energy or not, the important thing is that the physical strength is enough to withstand the transformed original energy, so as to carry out an effective melee explosion. ”

"Eruption...... Outbreak ......"

After muttering a few words silently, Leo suddenly had an idea: "As long as it explodes, it is okay to activate the red dragon bloodline, and before I get the 'magic weapon', I can rely on this to practice first." ”

With this thought, the next moment, his pupils turned into a vertical line, the inscription in the depths of his soul spun rapidly, and blood gushed out with rolling heat.

Leo Huo Ran got up, and obviously felt that his speed and strength had greatly improved.

This kind of power jumped in the body, but there was no way to vent, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and subconsciously, the dragon's anger on his wrist instantly turned into a long sword form, and he selected a metal hanger not far away, and used the standard cross-cutting style, no matter the angle or the power, it was good to knock out.

The sharp blade cut in without hindrance. The 10-centimeter-thick all-metal hanger was cut in two and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Looking at the smooth section, Leo was very satisfied, this kind of Cheng Dù's attack should already be comparable to a level 1 warrior.

"That's right, the next step is to learn the Advanced Meditation Method, after all, magic is my foundation. To sum up, Leo suppressed the red dragon bloodline, and suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and his stomach growled.

The professor's voice rang out: "Warning. If you lose your physical energy, please supplement your protein immediately. ”

"Although activating the bloodline can bring good strength and speed, it is too expensive...... It seems that it must be used with caution in the future. Leo smiled wryly and sat back on the couch tiredly. He didn't eat at noon, and the activated bloodline only lasted for a few minutes before it was automatically withdrawn due to physical exhaustion, so he had to think that when he arrived at the dance party in a while, he must have a big meal first.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Leo propped himself up and walked over to open the door. Then he saw a waiter standing outside.

"Mr. Minahir, the carriage has arrived, are you ready to go?" asked the waiter respectfully.

Leo suppressed his weakness and imagined the food at the ball. A smile replied, "Ready." ”

At around 5:30 a.m., the Magican's carriage took Leo to the City Hall Auditorium.

Outside the auditorium, there were already all kinds of carriages, at least thirty or forty, and there was still a steady stream of carriages. It looks like they're all here for the ball.

As soon as Leo got out of the car, he noticed that Pusher and a middle-aged man were waiting at the door of the auditorium, saying a few words to the people entering the auditorium.

Psy also saw Leo, and immediately smiled: "The dress fits very well, come, let me introduce you, this is the Archon of Castle Rock, Lord Missis Betan Torfan." This is the first place in this preliminary exam, Leo Mineshir. ”

"Hello Lord Pétain Torfan. Leo bowed slightly as he looked at the person in front of him.

The man seems to be around forty years old, and the gorgeous dress can't hide his sturdy figure, and he can become an archon, and he must have good strength to stand with Puser, but he can't tell what kind of profession it is.

"This is Leo, I finally saw him today. Petain Torfanson made a surprised expression, also looked at Leo, and then nodded kindly, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a talent." Come in, the dance will start in half an hour, and there will be a buffet dinner in the auditorium, hopefully with your appetite. ”

"Do I look hungry right now?" said Leo, a little surprised, straightening his gown and entering the auditorium.

At this moment, there were at least one or two hundred people in the auditorium, dressed in various dresses, and they were divided into many circles to talk to each other, and from time to time they took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand and drank it in small sips, which seemed very pleasant. Fortunately, the auditorium is very wide, so that it does not seem crowded, but looks quite lively.

Most of those people were local aristocrats, and Leo didn't know anyone here, and he couldn't fit into a small circle, so he walked straight to the buffet area on the left side of the auditorium.

Grilled meats, salads, desserts and wines are all available, looking at the dazzling array of dishes, Leo's index finger was impressed, and he immediately picked up the plate, and sandwiched a few of them, of course, focusing on the selection of meat, he now urgently needs to supplement protein.

"Well, it tastes very good, and the aristocratic life in this world is really comfortable. Muttering, Leo let go of his mind and began to eat in large gulps.

Soon a plate of food was wiped out, and he was about to bring another plate, when a voice came from the side: "You haven't eaten in a few days?" It turned out to be Sost, the competitive boy with a smile on his face, as if he had recovered from losing the exam, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Leo was not embarrassed when he was bumped into by someone, and replied with a smile: "I'm a civilian, but I've never eaten such a delicious thing, so I want to eat more." ”

Sost shook his head helplessly: "You will also become a nobleman in the future, this way of eating, but it is very ungraceful, and you are the first, many people are paying attention to you." ”

"Really?" Leo looked around, and sure enough, he noticed that many eyes were peeking at him, so he had to reluctantly put down his plate and casually chatted with Sost.

After a while, soothing music sounded, and Pusher and Pétain Torfan joined in and took the stage.

Tapping the wine glass in his hand to attract everyone's attention, Pétain Torfan spoke: "Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, on behalf of the City Hall of Kaiyan, I would like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all of you for coming.

Applause rang out, and Pétain Torvain raised his glass: "The construction of Castle Rock is inseparable from your efforts, and I especially want to thank the Magire Council and Chairman Pusher. With the hard work of the Magi's Council, the successful conclusion of this preliminary examination is bound to add strong fresh blood to our Ruhr region, and promote the prosperity of Kaiyan City and the entire Ruhr area. Next, I would like to give a speech to Chairman Puser. ”

"On behalf of the Magican, I would also like to thank Lord Petain Torvain for his assistance in this preliminary examination. Psy nodded to the man beside him, and also raised his glass: "I believe many people have heard that the Magire Council will increase investment in the Ruhr area to carry out the construction of basic education for civilians. Most of you here are aristocrats, so I'll share a little bit of my own thoughts. ”

Everyone's eyes were on Purser, this was indeed what they wanted to know, after all, the nobles and the commoners were two classes, and God knows if there would be any negative effects if the Magire would do this.

Psy was prepared, and continued: "In order to continue the family inheritance, even if it is a bloodline family, it must rely on magic, please imagine what kind of benefits you will get if a mage is born among the civilians in your territory?"

There was silence, and even the music stopped.

"First, the loyalty of the commoners will be increased, because their children will have the possibility of becoming mages, so they will definitely work harder for you, and second, the mage who has come out of your territory will naturally be branded by your family, which will also be a boost to the strength of your family. Seeing that many nobles were in thought, Pusher smiled slightly, decided to take it one step at a time, and then changed the topic: "Today is the pre-examination ball, I won't say too much, and now I invite the first place in this pre-examination, Leo Mineshir, to make a toast for everyone." ”

"What? let me make a toast?" Leo was stunned for a moment, this matter did not tell Sù in advance, just went up unprepared, didn't he ask for shame, what did this old man want...... (To be continued......)
