The mage arrives

"Damn it, you bastard!" Count Julian finally couldn't help but swear.

Viscount Anthony was unmoved: "My lord, I can ignore your disrespect to the Anduin royal family in words, but you'd better be sensible and don't do anything out of the ordinary on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, the royal knights will not be polite. .”

Viscount Anthony came prepared for this trip, not only accompanied by a high-ranking mage of the seventh ring like Schlieffen, but also accompanied by fifty royal knights.

As Freton's most respected military unit, the Royal Knights have always had a reputation.The soldiers of the knight order are all noble children with Anduin's royal blood, with an average level of ten.Not only does it have strong strength, but when the Royal Knights are traveling, it also represents the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor.

Attacking the royal knights is equivalent to attacking the emperor and betraying the empire.

Therefore, the local nobles have never had a good impression of this knight order.

Under the threat of both soft and hard, Count Julian finally succumbed.He snorted coldly and stopped talking, which was a tacit consent.

"Very good," Viscount Anthony smiled triumphantly, then gave a noble salute to Gordon and City Lord Bishui, and left swaggeringly.

After the royal knights escorted the two of them and left the Rainbow Spring Manor in a mighty way, Earl Julian suddenly smiled, patted Gordon on the shoulder and said, "Your acting skills don't seem to be very good. You know I saw you Do you want to laugh at the unnatural expression after pretending to be cast by Schlieffen's spell?"

For ordinary people, Schlieffen's "Strong Charm to Human" may be very powerful.But for Gordon, it's not worth mentioning.He has a very high intelligence attribute, and his ability to resist mental spells is very strong.Besides.He also has 30% spell resistance from the fused chimera.

The combination of the two conditions allowed Gordon to easily resist Schlieffen's mental spell.

Faced with Earl Julian's ridicule, Gordon shrugged helplessly: "I'm not a top student who graduated from the Imperial Academy of Drama, nor am I an old oily person like you who has been in the aristocratic circle for many years. It doesn't matter if my acting skills are poor. The point Yes, I have seen clearly Schlieffen's arrogant heart, and I know that even if I am not good at acting, as long as I pretend to be hit by a spell, he won't doubt it at all."

"Mages always have a lot of reasons, but I finally seized the opportunity to make fun of you."

"Go and make fun of your son-in-law. I believe you will have many opportunities." Gordon carried out his bad friend Donne.

The reason why the two were in such a relaxed mood and joked with each other was because of the triumphant royal steward Anthony and the self-righteous Schlieffen.They have already stepped into the trap they set in advance.

"Don't sleep tonight. Go and take a good look at the excitement." Gordon laughed.

…………

Night falls.

Rainbow Spring Manor, which has always seemed bleak and lonely since the death of Lord Scepter, is once again bustling tonight.It's just that it was a group of outsiders with malicious intentions that brought about the hustle and bustle.

The luxurious carriage dedicated to the Anduin royal family drove into the manor again. Viscount Anthony, who was in charge of the royal housekeeping and was doing his best to make profits for the Eisenstein family, lifted the curtains and looked outside.

The manor avenue was empty and silent.It was only occasionally that one or two servants of the Antaello family could be seen.It seems that Gordon Freeman has tactfully evacuated most of the people in Rainbow Springs Manor.Just wait for yourself to receive it.

"I didn't expect Gordon Freeman to be as obedient as a cat, and agreed to all our requests. I like this young man a little bit." Master Schlieffen smiled unabashedly, and was very impressed with his "forced" attack. It is quite proud of the effect of charming human beings.The arrogance in his heart prevented him from considering another possibility: the other party was just pretending to be tricked and cheating him.

Viscount Anthony was equally proud: "I thought the Antaello family would resist fiercely, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. After it is done, I hope the Eisenstein family can fulfill their promise."

"Of course. The annual income of 15% from the Salalah Silver Mine will be delivered to your home on time. For allies, the Eisenstein family has always been generous and kept their promises," said Master Schlieffen.

Viscount Anthony was elated.

As a member of the Anduin royal family, he cannot have a fief of his own.And as a marginal figure among the members of the royal family, he has very little power in his hands.How could he not be happy now that he had finally seized an opportunity to have a relationship with the rising Eisenstein family?

Thinking of the better life in the future, he took out a bottle of red wine and two goblets that he had prepared from under the seat of the carriage.

"Happy cooperation." He filled the wine glass and handed it to Schlieffen.

"I'm a mage and usually don't drink alcohol."

"It's okay to have it once in a while. Isn't today's victory something to celebrate?"

Schlieffen couldn't stand the persuasion, and his heart was already a little bit flustered, so he took the wine glass and drank it down with Anthony.

The carriage arrived in front of a small building, and Schlieffen, whose chest was already hot from the alcohol, stepped out of the carriage with Anthony.

"I have already found out that this is the place where Rob Antello collected his books during his lifetime. There must be many precious books in the private library of the Lord of Scepter." Viscount Anthony said.

Schlieffen added: "And in order to facilitate the installation of anti-theft measures, the mage's library is always built together with the treasure. We will have a big harvest tonight."

The royal knights filed in first, holding some kind of device to detect magical auras in their hands, and started a carpet search.

"I'll leave it to you here. I'm a little dizzy. Get in the carriage and take a rest." Viscount Anthony put on an apologetic expression.He drank most of a large bottle of red wine. He was a little overwhelmed and prepared to take a nap.

Anyway, Anthony, who knows nothing about spells and martial arts, is useless at this time, so Schlieffen waved his hand to let him do what he wants.

Schlieffen nodded, and walked into the small building with excitement.

This is the hidden treasure of Rob Antaello, the famous and legendary mage in the empire!For a mage, this place can be said to be a holy place.

After the royal knights conducted a careful search, they discovered extremely strong arcane energy fluctuations in front of a thick mahogany gate on the second floor.They immediately went to notify Schlieffen.

Master Qihuan walked to the mahogany gate with excitement, and heard a magically synthesized voice: "Identity detection...does not meet...warn unknown personnel to leave immediately; repeat once, warn unknown personnel to leave immediately, otherwise Forceful measures will be taken!"

"Activating door, automatic protection system? Huh, I can see much more."

Schlieffen didn't panic.With a confident smile, he focused his mind, and his eyes were condensed into one line. He quickly discovered various runes, magic circles, and extremely complicated spiritual lines on the mahogany gate.

"The legendary mage does have skills. Although it will take a lot of time, it is not a problem for me to crack this mechanism."

He shook his head, sobering up his brain that had become a little stunned by the alcohol, then took a deep breath and began to solve the problem in front of him.

As a high-ranking mage with seven rings, Schlieffen naturally has good attainments in arcane magic.Even in the face of the magical mechanism set up by the legendary mage, he still slowly resolved it like peeling cocoons.

An hour later, when the last glowing rune on the mahogany gate was erased, the annoying synthetic warning sound disappeared completely.

"It's finally finished." Schlieffen smiled triumphantly, eager to try.He rubbed his hands, "Okay, now let me see how precious the treasure of the legendary mage Rob Antello is."

He pressed his hand on the mahogany door, and just when he pushed it hard, a green light as thick as a substance shot out from the crack of the door.

"The mechanism hasn't been cleaned up yet?" Schlieffen thought subconsciously, and then his face suddenly turned pale, and endless fear poured out from the bottom of his heart, occupying his body and mind.

He had already recognized the green light attacking him.

That is the highest masterpiece of the Protection School, the nine-ring spell—the Great Disintegration!

"Damn! Hateful Rob Antello!" Schlieffen screamed in despair.Colorful lights began to bloom from his body.This is after the various protective props on Schlieffen's body sensed the threat of the Great Disintegration, and they began to trigger automatically.

The family background of the high-level mage Qihuan is really rich.At this time, Schlieffen looked like a Christmas tree covered with colorful neon lights.Those magical auras that keep flickering are as bright as stars.

However, these things are useless for the large cracking technique.

As if a black hole swallowed the light, when the green light came, all the magical auras on Schlieffen's body disappeared instantly.Master Qihuan heard the scattered cracking sounds coming from his body, and his heart was bleeding.

His high-level magic props and most of his net worth were all destroyed by the Great Disintegration Technique.

"Pfft!" All kinds of negative emotions intertwined in an instant and continued to magnify, causing Schlieffen to spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.

But things didn't end there.

Looking at the puddle of dirty blood he spit out under his feet, Schlieffen looked at him with a dazed expression, and suddenly found that the temperature of the floor began to rise rapidly, and then wisps of blue smoke came out.

"Run! Run!" Schlieffen shouted, his voice distorted with fear.

The seven-ring mage gritted his teeth, jumped out from the second floor through the broken window, and cast a levitation spell instantly.

The royal knights who also stayed in the small building did not have Schlieffen's ability to escape.Their heavy full plate armor, while strong in protection and imposing in appearance, slowed down their movement.

Not a single knight ran out of the small building, and the violent explosion completely destroyed the two-story building.A huge fireball rose up, lighting up the night sky.

The powerful shock wave generated by the explosion knocked the carriages parked in front of the small building into the air, and Viscount Anthony, who was awakened by the loud noise, felt the world spinning for a while, and then fell into a coma... (To be continued...)
