Chapter 53: Lycia

"Today, we are holding such a gathering for a more important purpose than to gather with all of you, family, friends, celebrities and gentlemen to enhance contact and friendship. I think some of my friends have already guessed ......"

There was a scattered good-natured laugh in the hall, apparently one of the few people who had guessed it or knew it in advance.

From here, you can see the ability of relatives and guests, and to guess these requires a certain amount of information channels and connections, excellent analytical skills and reasoning skills. Everyone's IQ and emotional intelligence, hard power and soft power, are reflected in this moment.

It was then that Keerlius could see clearly that on the right side of His Excellency the Count stood a graceful woman covered in a black veil.

She wore a black wide-brimmed lady's hat, and a black scarf rested on the brim, covering the girl's face and neck. Judging from her outfit, she is in the period of filial piety, and it can be seen that this is a widowed surviving person.

The black backless high-fork long skirt evening dress outlines the girl's graceful and fiery mature figure, and the identity of a widow adds a kind of seduction of back and morality. At this time, some of the men present had already noticed the surviving man, and they all secretly swallowed their saliva, staring at the girl deadly, fantasizing about some unsightly scenes.

However, what Kylelius paid attention to was not her beauty and the identity of the deceased, but the fluctuations of magic on her body, which seemed unusually obvious in the eyes of Kyleus, and the slender jade hand that secretly pressed against the back of the count's neck.

Of course, this is not to say that the surviving man intended to assassinate or kidnap His Excellency the Earl. If this is the case, the guards around him who look like masters and His Excellency the Earl himself will not be so calm and silent, and the expression and tone of His Excellency the Earl are so natural and smooth, and there is no sense of disobedience that is threatened or controlled by magic at all.

After all, even the most powerful magician or other spellcaster, if he wants to control an intelligent creature with independent thoughts, it will cause some incongruity in the target, and in the eyes of fellow professionals, it is full of flaws.

Then, if you are not a scheming unscrupulous, then you are a close confidant of Your Excellency the Earl, and a confidant who can entrust her life.

You know, at this time, the girl's hand was on the back of the count's neck. At such a critical position at such a distance, let alone a professional with a professional level, even the old and weak women and children with a little training can easily put the earl to death.

The back of the neck and spine can kill any humanoid intelligent creature on any continent with a single effort.

A henchman who is not particularly trusting will not let her keep her hands in this place for so long. It had been a few minutes since the Earl's speech had begun.

It seems to be a very trusting close person, at least because it should be a relative of the earl or something.

Through Paris's previous introduction to the count's family, Kylelius guessed that it might be the earl's sister of unknown rank, who was also a magician. And the surviving man in black upstairs obviously fits Paris's description.

At this time, the surviving person should be using magic, and through her magic fluctuations, Kylelius judged that it should not be higher than the magic of the two rings. Combined with the unusually loud voice of His Excellency the Count now, as far as Kelelius knew, it could only be a kind of magic.

Shaping is a part of the magic - 'loud sound'.

'Loud voice' is the first-level magic of the shaping system, this is a magic trick that a magician of the shaping system must learn, and even some magicians of other factions will also learn auxiliary magic, it is the precursor magic of the six-ring magic of the shaping system 'roaring', basically if you want to learn 'roaring', you must first learn 'loud voice', and the principles of the two are also extremely similar.

The magic principle of 'loud voice' is to dilute the magic power through an open magic circuit and conduct it to the surface of the skin of the hand or the magic costume held in the hand, and then through direct contact with the skin of the target's neck, the magic power is transmitted to the opponent's vocal cords.

Through the repair of mana stimulation, the ability of the target's vocal cords is increased, which in turn increases the volume of the subject. It can even be repaired by magic, so that people who originally had vocal cord problems can regain a certain degree of speech ability, although only temporarily.

This magic trick can be used for others as well as for yourself, and it is a very convenient auxiliary magic.

"Today is the sixteenth birthday of my second daughter, Miss Lise Stell. It was also her first social appearance. ”

It is customary for a lady who has reached a certain age to officially enter the social world at an important ball.

The nobles used the military and financial resources they had accumulated on a daily basis to protect their territory, but in this harsh Shijie, this alone was not enough. And the nobles could not guarantee that they would be fully prepared at all times, and even then, friends and relatives were sometimes more likely to help protect the nobles and their people than swords, money, or walls.

After all, in this shijie with high-end force, the liliang of a single nobleman is always limited and unsafe.

Even if it is high-sounding, it is actually just a political marriage.

Let men and women of the right age attend social occasions, and through the introduction of elders and various hints, they can be combined with the right person of the opposite sex, so as to enhance the strength, network and influence of the family.

"Now, then, my lovely little daughter, please!" said the Earl, smiling, and motioned for the crowd to turn their eyes to the side of the hall, where there was a spiral staircase, and on the second floor of the staircase, there were seven or eight people standing at this time, and a richly dressed girl stood at the front.

This is the youngest daughter of Her Excellency Earl Steyle, and the protagonist of this lavish banquet tonight, Miss Lise Steyer.

She looked fifteen or sixteen years old, about one meter five and a half tall. He wears an ornate silver headdress on his head, a pair of delicate earrings that are also silver hanging from the earlobes of both ears, a silver necklace around his neck, and a beautifully cut sapphire at the bottom of the necklace, and an off-the-shoulder white full-length princess dress.

A pair of beautiful silver-blue eyes, lips with silver lipstick, and a juvenile body that is green but also material. makes her whole person shine with an indescribable holy radiance.

She stood there for a few minutes, so that the guests would remember her appearance, and then she raised her feet and began to descend the stairs, followed by the maid and the deacon, who followed with their heads bowed, taking care not to step on the hem of her long skirt that dragged on the floor.

When the young and charming aristocratic girl walked down the spiral steps made of Paghera stone, an old butler who was already waiting there bent down and reached out to gently take the little crystal hand handed by Miss Lis, and supported the beautiful girl with high heels and crystal slippers, and walked towards the surrounding guests.

At this kind of banquet, Miss Lisi, as a newcomer to the society, needs to greet various elders, relatives and friends, dignitaries and dignitaries, and some close ones have to have a long greeting. Obviously, Miss Lis, who is a newcomer, has no idea what to do.

This was an important reason why Miss Lisy was accompanied by this old butler, who at first glance was very experienced, and almost every lady who entered the social circle for the first time would be assigned such an assistant to the family, in case she would do something rude and humiliate the family and herself.

Of course, it doesn't have to be the old housekeeper, it may also be the head maid, a cousin, a cousin, or even a classmate or friend at school, depending on each person's situation.
