Chapter 12
Except for Adam, several other people want to visit this prosperous city. Compared with the southern harbor city, Cold Maple City in the north is undoubtedly a small country town, and youngsters are yearning for the world of flowers.
The plan couldn't keep up with the rapid changes. Before they left each, the door of the ducal mansion opened, and they walked out of the entire group.
The Duke seemed to be a middle-aged man. He came to Mage Blake and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette. He greeted: "Dear Mage Blake, welcome your coming." Then he faced him again. The six apprentices made a hug gesture and said, "You are welcome too, little apprentices."
Everyone responded, and the Duke laughed heartily and led them to the Duke’s mansion, and said, "Everyone. It’s just right to come, and the dinner has just begun preparations. The remaining mage masters and their apprentices have already arrived."
Mage Blake said with a slight smile: "Oh? That's not bad, it seems that it can be earlier I set off, and I have been away from mage continent for too long. My body is a bit tired."
The Duke expressed regret: "Is it in such a hurry? I still have many questions to ask."
"No way, this time is different from the past, you know, the Academy is very anxious..."
While speaking, everyone came to the banquet hall, and a huge round table was already seated Many people, two men and a woman sitting at the head and tail, each minding their own business talkers, got up and greeted Mage Blake one after another when they saw Mage Blake: "Mage Blake, you are a bit late."
Mage Blake one after another paid respect: "Mage Robert, Mage Jerome, and the beautiful Mage Irene. You must know that I am in charge of the far north, so naturally it is not as fast as you come."
Adam They are right After the three unfamiliar mage bowed and saluted, they all took their seats. Except for them, there were 34 apprentices all about the same age, but they didn't seem to be very friendly to Adam and his party?
The reappearing duke wore a bloated and gorgeous gown. He stood at the door and directed his servants to serve dishes of unbearably exquisite food. Barrels of wine with strong aromas don’t cost money. It flows into the cup, and the beautiful maid will sober up the wine personally before serving it to everyone.
Ophelia ugly complexion seemed very embarrassed. Compared with the dinner at the Ducal Palace, Earl Johnson's reception was really not on the table.
Kristal and the three male apprentices have been stunned. One of them is a commoner and the other three are from little nobles. Coupled with living in that barren place in the Northland, they simply have never seen such a luxurious one. banquet.
The Duke used a loud voice to announce the start of the banquet, and he himself walked up to the mages, and the apprentices were naturally served by the servants.
"Gudong."
Sam Aiden couldn't help making a swallowed saliva sound in his throat.
Adam's attention is not focused on the food. In the Northland, both nobles and civilians used oil lamps to illuminate at night, but here Adam found that it was an electric lamp-like device, but he did not find any traces of electrical energy use.
"Is this a product of alchemy? The power of magic?" Adam was very curious, staring at the lamp.
When everyone was about to enjoy the food, an unpleasant word came and ruined their mood: "Heh, why, haven’t you seen this kind of dinner party? No wonder, I heard that you are from North Land? Do people there live with wild beast? tsk tsk, it is really pitiful, I have to eat more in a while, otherwise there will be no chance in the future."
The apprentices in the north are angry. Turning his head rushing and looking towards the speaker, he found that this was a young man with greasy noodles, his hair was meticulously combed behind his head, and he slowly fiddled with the food on the plate with a knife and fork. He didn't even lift his head when he spoke. I was extremely courteous. I looked towards the Northland Apprentice until I felt my gaze, and then taunted: "What's the matter with you guys? Did I say something wrong? If so, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the nobles of the civilized world."
Sam · Aiden stood up from his seat, took out a glove from his arms like a mystery, and said in an extremely angry tone: "Tell me your name, and then immediately apologize, otherwise you will bear The anger from the Aiden family."
The oily noodles are still dismissive: "Is it right? Aiden family? Haha, I have never heard of it. Do you rely on your mouth to gain aristocratic status?"
The Duke and the mage didn't care about the conflict in front of one's eyes, they just lightly mentioned: "Don't break things." I don't care about it anymore.
The rest of the apprentices are mostly watching the show, especially waiting for the Northlanders to make a fool of themselves.
Sam Aiden's light blood energy fluctuated up, and he waved his gloves and roared: "Tell me your name, coward, don't you dare?"
Adam has some Doubt, maybe he had contact with too few nobles, but even Marshall and Denis never seemed to have done such a stupid move. Although Sam Aiden had a cold attitude after hearing about their civilian status, they did not. Disrespectful, why is this person in front of him so stupid?
This time even Ophelia couldn't help but uttered: "Insulting a nobleman but dare not name it and accept a duel. I never knew there was a cowardly man like you in the nobleman."
p>Sam Aiden received the support from Ophelia, and became more confident. Fiercely threw the glove on the greasy face: "Duel, coward, only one of us can survive."
After the glove faded from his face, the oily face could no longer maintain the mocking and provocative face, and looked towards the surrounding companions for help, but found that no one paid any attention to him.
At this time, a young man with a temperament similar to Ophelia got up and said: "Enough, Tom. I never know when a commoner is qualified to represent the nobleman. Now, apologize and sit down."
p>Greasy noodles, oh no, Tom looked at the young man in disbelief and said, "No, Mr. William, I just want to teach these country folks, you can’t do this, I..."
"William Alfred, this is the name of the youth, the father of the duke, the most dazzling genius in the south, the spirit strength is excellent, and the soul tendencies of Fire Element affinity." Mage Irene took a sip of wine. Then he said, "Congratulations, Duke Alfred, your son has a better talent than you, and the Alfred family is very likely to have a formal mage."
The Duke laughed and couldn’t get together. Mouth, he was obviously very satisfied with his son, but he still said: "You passed the award, William has a lot to learn."
Mage Irene didn't care, and asked several companions: " What about you guys? Have you found any good seedlings?"
Mage Robert, who is in charge of the West, complained: "This time is too rushed to organize a larger test. The apprenticeship I brought They are all ordinary, only one showed a weak curse affinity."
The rest of the mage expressed regret to him. Since the success of the mage revolution, most of the curse spells have failed. The curse affinity is really a kind of A narrow path of development.
Mage Jerome, who is in charge of the east, said: "The east is pretty good. There are a few with excellent spirit strength. A civilian apprentice named Quentin has a life force affinity innate talent."
"What about you, Blake, the Northland is barren, and it won't be great if you want to come here?"
The mages over there are talking, and here, the conflict between apprentices is not over.
Ophelia could easily see William Alfred's thoughts. First, she let her companions provoke her, and when she saw her companions could not hold up the scene, she would come out to complete the game. How could there be such a cheap thing. Soldiers against soldiers, and generals, Ophelia stood up and said, "When can the civilians insult the nobles with just an apology? Is this the rule of the South? Since Sam has launched a duel, then the civilians will either accept it or accept it. Compensation for Sam is enough to pay for his life or become his slave."
Tom was completely frightened, and tremblingly asked for help: "Mr. William, please, I can’t..."
William ignored him. People always have to pay for their stupidity. If it weren't for this kind of occasion, if he was not from the south, William would be happy to comment on his bad luck.
"This beautiful lady, am I lucky enough to know your name." William asked Ophelia, bending slightly.
"Ophelia Johnson."
"I've heard your name, Martial Goddess in the Northland. It's an honor to meet you." As he said, he took it from his hand A ring was placed in front of Ophelia, "This is a magic item, storing the zero-level magic Fireball Technique. I think it is enough to make up for Tom's fault."
His.
There was a sound of air-conditioning, and even Ophelia and Sam did not expect that William would come up with this thing as compensation.
I have just seen the magical apprentices of mage. Their resistance to being able to have a magic item right away is zero. Sam'forgives' the civilian’s rudeness in an instant, facing Ophelia. The inquiring eyes were nodded again and again.
William said with a faint smile: "Then, it's done."
Sam excitedly picked up the ring, and after struggling for countless times within a few seconds, Reluctantly handed the ring to Ophelia: "Miss Ophelia, I think this ring should belong to you."
Although Ophelia is also very eager, she does not want to take the ring as her own. shook the head no longer speaks.
The conflict ended here, and Mage Blake said at this time: "In this way, I have good luck. Although I only recruited six apprentices, the three of them have a spiritual tendency. Ophelia is in the body refinement. The innate talent is amazing. Another girl has the same innate talent as me. The last one is amazing. As for the innate talent, I can’t see through it."
Mage congratulated him and returned to the Academy. , The dean will be rewarded according to the number of geniuses received, but it is better than nothing.
Duke Alfred took these words to heart.
