Hyde shook his wrist, causing the dirty parchment to burn.He held the parchment between his fingers and let it burn above his head, the scattered ash seeping into his body like melting ice.
"Sorry...this approach should make me a little more honest."
His thoughts became clear, and his previous concerns and constraints were forgotten.
In the eyes of others, it is his expression that has become calm and serious.
"None of those things matter, Miss Shadow."
"I repeat, I like your essence, everything about you. And as a traditional wizard, I don't believe in the immature scientific theory of the mortal world—the soul, and only the soul is the most important thing."
"No matter what kind of body you put on, even if you are just a reflection attached to a mirror, or a puppet with a cold body and no body temperature, you are the woman I like."
"That's all."
This unexpected announcement made the lady doll show a shocked expression.
Although she had been psychologically prepared for a long time, she never thought that the effect of tarnishing the old seal would be so powerful.
"Even if I can't give you anything? It's not even sure whether this body can reproduce in the future?"
This made the other party frown slightly.
"I haven't thought about it yet...Although it's a bit far away, it's a problem, and I don't want to have offspring with anyone other than you."
He added confidently:
"But don't worry, I will find a way to give you a perfect carrier."
-
"This...Ling, don't you think their conversation is a bit too bold?"
Ella couldn't help muttering under her breath.
"That's the law of nature, nothing to be ashamed of, if I had to say we could—"
Ling Ye still had a calm expression, indicating that he wanted to continue the discussion from this topic.This made Ella feel panicked, maybe she had accidentally made something terrible.
Although she was a little concerned about the second half of the other party's sentence, Ella still blocked Ling's mouth with a piece of cake.
She hastily revoked the power of the old seal, because she herself was the object of the tampered description of the spell, so she could do this easily.
The sudden change made the two guys who were in a special state, who had forgotten their shame and maintained an absolute calm state, suddenly blushed, and Ling even choked on the cake and fell off the chair.
"I took what I said just now seriously, and you will have no chance to deny it in the future."
Shadow sneered at the embarrassed guy in front of her, she was not the kind of little girl who would be shy just because of a few declarations of love.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, the red mist seemed to be attracted, and entered the puppet's body along her simulated mouth and airway.
The doll's face was still pale, and it had not changed in any way due to absorbing the magic power.
"Sure enough, they don't do me any harm—that's enough gossip, let's get down to business."
"The mild magic power like charm can even be directly absorbed by me, which is a good tonic. Although it is a bit shameless, I have already thought about how you should deal with her."
At this time, Ella glanced at the wall clock above the room, and the hour hand was stopping at five o'clock.
"I remember you said in your letter that the welcome banquet will start at 05:30 in the afternoon, and there is still half an hour left. Where is that man named Jerome? He has already lived in the outer town beforehand. inside?"
"No."
It was Hyde who answered her.
"The members of the family branch are different from ordinary wizards from outside. They will be arranged to live in the building behind the main castle of the manor. Jerome doesn't seem to be there."
"If he doesn't show up on time, he will be considered forfeited, and that's part of the rules of the game."
Chapter 54 begins
The banquet hall of White Rose Manor has a history of hundreds of years, and it even existed earlier than Kraft School of Witchcraft and Magic.
Back in the days when the members of the "Twilight Society" headed by Lovecraft had not yet called themselves the Enforcers, Belusa was one of the most prominent pure-blood wizard families at the time.
On the front wall of the banquet hall is a complete huge mural, which depicts the scene where the blind god Hodr was bewitched and killed his twin brother Baldr, the god of light, with mistletoe branches.
The wooden sword wrapped in a garland of mistletoe is stained with scarlet blood, and the two gods, who symbolize darkness and light respectively, are in the opposite light in the composition.
Balder is a handsome young man with long golden hair like flames. His eyes are closed tightly. A strange sword pierced his left chest. The blood stained the cloak and Balder's pale face—the light is fading.
The sacred, depressing, and tragic atmosphere was like a solemn ceremony being held.
And the blind Hodr fell into confusion because he couldn't see things, and he didn't know what crime he was bewitched to commit.The rickety body is exposed to the eyes of other gods and cannot be avoided. The expression of confusion, astonishment, and despair seems to be acting as a clown in a farce.
It is said that the two gods are the source of all bloodlines inherited by the Belusay family.
Mittersteen, the sword of mistletoe that killed Baldr, is also a holy relic passed down from the time of this pure-blood wizard family.
There were nearly a hundred people in various costumes sitting on both sides of the two long tables in the banquet hall. Most of them were branch members of the Belusa family, or people with a certain status in the wizarding world.
Only these people were invited from the town to enter the manor, while other foreign wizards could only stay where they were and wait for a later notice.
However, the services provided by the Belusay family were quite considerate, so there were not many complaints.
Straw Berlusay sat on the seat directly below the mural, and two other seats were placed beside him.
"All of you here are noble wizards. Recently, some accidents have unfortunately occurred within my family."
"I am very clear about your reasons for coming, and Belusay will follow the ancient and sacred wizarding traditions as in the past. But before the meeting and ceremony officially started, I also invited two distinguished enough witnesses, presumably with their Fame and status are enough to carry the weight."
His voice was not loud, but it made it impossible for people to raise the idea of objection or rejection.
All the wizards present were knowledgeable wizards, and they couldn't help but feel a burst of shock when they found that they had unknowingly been hit by the other party's spiritual suggestion.
This is the power of Straw, the master of the Belusay family.
At the same time, it was his demonstration.
Some guys who had malicious intentions and came here like hyenas smelling rancid to profit from it began to become uneasy.
They listened to those rumors from unknown sources, and believed that the master of the Belusay family was a poisonous snake who was good at using spiritual magic, but he was just a coward on the frontal battlefield.
The first half of this sentence is not wrong, Straw is indeed only good at using spiritual magic, or something related to it.
It's just that no one told them that this so-called soft bastard who is only good at spiritual magic can order more than half of the people here to commit suicide on the spot just by speaking.
"Then let us first welcome the executive officer from Kraft, Her Excellency Ella Williams."
The sound of crisp footsteps came, and people followed the sound and looked towards the gate of the banquet hall.
A silver-haired girl wearing a black bowler hat walked into the aisle in the center of the long table. She was wearing a women's coat and shawl of the same color as the hat, and she wore a bright silver flag badge on her chest.
Even though she had heard about her, in the eyes of wizards she was too young, so young that people couldn't help but look down upon her.
But when these people looked at the girl with doubts or contempt, they found themselves as if someone had poured ice water on them from the head.The coldness of falling into an ice cave made them all lower their heads subconsciously, as if there was a bright sharp knife in front of their eyes!
The silver-haired girl went straight to the seat next to Straw, who also got up and saluted the girl, signaling her to sit on the left.
When she entered just now, she diffused a small part of her own magical aura, and the coercion caused by this was already enough to make people feel suffocated.If it was said that Straw Belusay could decide the life and death of almost half of the wizards present with only one sentence, then Ella could reduce them all to ashes with only one thought.
"The other notary is from the ancient Mephisto family. He is the first heir recognized by Fred Mephisto. Welcome Lucien Mephisto."
Unlike in the past, Lucien's clothes no longer looked so fancy when attending this occasion.
He was wearing a dark red velvet long dress, with only one round black gem the size of an egg inlaid on the chest.
Ellado glanced at him and shook hands with him.
From this point at least, it can be seen that his character is a little smoother than in the past.
At least before the experience of Nod, Lucien would not change his dressing habits because of the occasion.
The latter smiled back. I don't know why Ella always felt that Lucien looked not energetic, as if he hadn't slept well.
Obviously three hours ago, the girl saw him in the living room not like this.
There are several other seats on the long table under the mural, which belong to the core members of the Belusay family, or those who participated in the meeting from other standpoints.
Among them were the original heirs of the family, Hyde Belusay, Ling and Shadow, in addition to the girl of succubus blood and other people Ella didn't know.
"Then the first thing I want to announce here is to temporarily revoke Hyde Belusay's status as heir."
Straw continued.
These words caused quite a stir in the banquet hall, and Ella did not expect that Straw would announce the news immediately.
"According to the ancient tradition of pure-blood families, each head of the family is determined by the concentration of inherited blood and his magical ability. Even I cannot decide to give this position to someone or deprive him of his rights because of selfish reasons—— This is the vote of the Presbyterian Church.”
Straw's expression didn't change, as if he wasn't talking about his son at all.
And Hyde's expression remained the same, as if he just lost something insignificant.
"Heide Belusay was undoubtedly the best candidate, but due to some accidents, he has now lost the bloodline strength enough to surpass others-I think you all know this."
"Now, I'm going to give you a chance to level the playing field, and he'll be one of the regular contenders."
"Only those who win in the end can get everything."
Chapter 55 Attack
"But then again."
Straw changed the subject,
"I don't think anyone is qualified to be my successor either."
"My opinion is that each faction is only allowed to choose one representative to compete - no, that's not an opinion but a bottom line. It's not against ancient traditions, so there's no doubt about that."
"After that, I will use another method to screen. Only elites who meet my requirements can enter the final selection—Elaine, do you seem to have any opinions?"
The man looked at the girl who got up from the seat.
The red-haired Elaine lifted the veil, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.Even Ella felt a little affection for Elaine in just a short moment.
This girl didn't hide her strength. She was as proud as a swan with wings, but it was hard to feel bad.
"No, I have no objection to your plan, Uncle Straw. I just want to add some details, and this is also my father's opinion."
"Our ultimate goal is to select a wizard with outstanding personal ability, enough to inherit the glory of the family after you. For such a person, we should value his own strength rather than external force."
