Duke Mansa's mansion was built on the highest point of the hill city, where a giant statue of a mage towered with a lighthouse at the top of its staff.

In fact, I have been struggling with how people climbed the 200-meter-high lighthouse.

But when I saw a royal lion eagle flapping its wings high in the twilight, it flew into the lighthouse with a knight.

A moment later, a blazing flame lit up at the tip of the statue staff, and I am sure that the light emitted by this lighthouse in the dark night when I couldn't see my fingers would surely make the crew members who had been at sea for months or even a year or two cheer from the bottom of their hearts.

The Duke Mensa's estate is not just an ancient castle, it can be said to be a magnificent palace complex strictly speaking.

When the silver magic caravan drove up to Duke Mensa's manor and looked at the rows of houses built on the hill, I had a clearer sense that the size of Illinus City was not much smaller than that of Sloit.

This mountain city looks more layered, more clear to make people have a rough outline in their hearts, from top to bottom, the sense of hierarchy is very distinct, the more people who live at the bottom, the lower the status and wealth, the rich live in the middle of the hillside, the more up, the more tidy the street, the wider the stone road, the more up, the more pompous the shops on both sides of the street, the more decent the pedestrians on the street are dressed.

When I was about to reach the top of the mountain, I found that there were many gorgeous manors here, the largest of which was naturally the palace of the Duke of Mensa with the statue of the mage surrounded by it.

The statue is located in the open square of the Mensa Manor, surrounded by green lawns and stone paved paths that form an intricate pattern on the lawn.

At night, the Mensa Manor was brightly lit, the carriage stopped next to the stone steps of the castle, the gate of the castle was open, and the left and right sides were full of attendants and maids, Noah couldn't wait to push the door from the magic caravan and jump out, waving vigorously to the group of nobles standing on the steps.

The nobles and ladies standing on the steps were also extremely excited, and they even couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and wanted to rush to the bottom of the stone steps to have a big hug with Noah.

I stepped out of the carriage after Noah, and the group's eyes fell on me, and there was an irrepressible whisper from the crowd.

"Look, Noah brought back a magician classmate, oh no, how could it be a man?" said a teenager in the crowd who was in the midst of a voice-changing period.

Even though the voice was muffled through the crowd, it reached my ears, and I swear I will never forget this particular sound.

At this time, I remembered the crisp and pleasant voice, and I could not look into the crowd, but I guessed that she must be a young girl: "His hair is actually black, so special! I know him, Noah mentioned in the letter, he is Noah's best friend in the imperial capital, even Louis has seen him." ”

The young man in the voice-changing period shrugged softly, and said in a very annoying tone, "Wow! scared me, didn't you say that Noah brought his girlfriend back this time?"

The girl scolded the young man in the voice-changing period: "Stupid, Noah's girlfriend must be behind!"

At this time, Shirley Newman and Ying Li walked down together, followed by Helena and Becky, and Katerina and Shirley Newman's handmaidens followed at the back of the line.

Seeing so many girls coming out of the magic caravan, the young people standing on the stone steps suddenly became boiling.

I took the opportunity to look up the steps.

"Let's guess which of these girls who got out of the carriage is Noah's sweetheart, I bet it's not the one with the prettiest face. The young man in the voice change period pulled his companion next to him and said excitedly: "Who dares to bet two magic crystals with me?"

But the young man didn't give him the slightest face, rolled his eyes, and twisted his head to the other side.

During the voice change period, the young man smiled disapprovingly, looking very proud.

At this time, the young man who was standing on the other side of the young man in the voice change period smiled at the young man and asked him, "Jacques, have you lost all your money in the casino? What is there to bet on two magic crystals, I guess it should be the one with dimples on her face, you can see the way she walks, you know that she has received the best etiquette lessons." ”

"Why don't you just say she's the princess of Angel Bald?" retorted directly from the voice-changing teenager.

Someone came over and said: "If I were Noah, I would definitely choose the one with the best figure, only after experiencing it will I know that the face and everything are secondary." ”

At this time, a young lady standing in the front row covered her mouth, turned back to them and said, "It looks like you're all going to lose!"

Noah stood in front of Shirley Newman and stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, Shirley Newman's face turned slightly red, grabbed Noah's arm, and slowly walked up the steps with Noah.

The group of young people immediately became noisy, and I vaguely heard someone say, "Cut, how can this be this young lady, she doesn't seem to have anything special!"

"How could it not be!" the other immediately retorted, "I heard that Noah's girlfriend is also a top student of the Royal Academy of Magic?"

The man exclaimed......, "Ahh He's a magician with incredible talent?"

The person next to him immediately added: "It is said that this is exactly the case. ”

The person who exclaimed before said in disbelief: "There are also female magicians who are so beautiful?"

Several people in the crowd immediately joined the discussion: "What are you talking about, in fact, the level of female magic apprentices in the Illinus Junior Magic Academy is still very high. ”

"Please note that the one holding Noah should be like Noah, a freak who is extremely sensitive to magic, and she is the most outstanding of the young magicians in a certain province, so it is best not to get these comments from Noah's girlfriend's ears. Someone in the crowd coldly reminded.

It was a very lethal statement, and the crowd was quiet, and by this time, Noah had already pulled me and Shirley Newman to the middle of the steps.

"Ahem, all right, young ladies and gentlemen, pay attention to your mannerisms, you are a well-educated group of nobles. An old, steady voice said, looking like he wanted to step up and pick up the pieces.

But immediately someone in the crowd protested: "All right, Butler Bird, don't talk about it, our ears are almost calloused." ”

It turned out to be a housekeeper, and I thought it was some elder in Noah's family!

At this time, the crowd in front of the castle gate, which seemed to be a little noisy, suddenly fell silent, and the crowd quickly parted to both sides.

A noble lady came out with two maids, I couldn't tell how old she must be, the years had not left much mark on her face, but her piercing eyes told me that she was the mistress here.

She stood on the steps, smiled gently at Noah as he walked up the stone steps, and held out her hands to Noah.

Noah let go of us, ran forward alone, hugged the noble lady affectionately, and then said excitedly, "Oh, Mom, you look very good, I miss you all the time!"

The Duchess looked at Noah's face seriously, and after a long while, she said gently: "It looks like the Royal Academy of Magic in the imperial capital is really good, at least it makes you more cheerful and polite, little Noah." ”

Noah stood in front of the Duchess, turned around and pulled me to her side, pointed at me and said, "This is my friend Giga, I told you in my letter that he is my friend. ”

I bowed to the Duchess, who nodded to me and said, "Louis mentioned you in his letter, and he praises you, and I hope you will be a friend of Noah's life." ”

He brought Shirley Newman to the Duchess and said shyly, "This is Shirley, you said you wanted to meet her soon, and now I have brought her to you." ”

Shirley Newman's face was flushed and nervous, and the Duchess took Shirley's hand and said softly to her, "I hope you can have a pleasant stay here." ”

Later, Noah introduced Ying Li and said, "This is Ying Li, my friend with Ji Jia. ”

Hearing Ying Li's name, the Duchess's eyes obviously fluctuated slightly, she looked at Ying Li seriously, and then her eyes swept over Helena and Becky, the Duchess said a few gentle words to Ying Li, and then led us to the castle together.

After giving a brief introduction to the Duchess of Mensa, Noah introduced us to his siblings.

In fact, from the very beginning, I fell into a misunderstanding, thinking that wealthy families will strictly control the family's bloodline inheritance.

Because I have not come into contact with many wealthy families, neither the Ellie family nor the Bussman family are very prosperous.

There was even a fault in the Ellie family, and the old duke of Wall, who passed on the title of Jingyue Ellie, was actually Jingyue Ellie's grandfather.

The Bussman family doesn't seem to be very prosperous, otherwise Duke Ryan wouldn't be so doting on Quentin, Quentin just has the talent of family blood, and he was designated by Duke Ryan as the future successor of the Bessman family. This reason is somewhat reluctant.

Now when I am at the gate of the castle and see that there is such a large group of brothers and sisters in Noah's family, I feel that the Mensa family is really flourishing and there are many brothers and sisters.

The shrewd butler and a few attendants arranged us in the rooms on the third floor of the castle, and when I asked the butler where Karantso and Ruka the Minotaur were placed, the butler very politely told me that my followers would be well arranged.

I washed up a little in my room, and before I could go to Ying Li's room, a waiter invited us to the dining room.

The restaurant was very luxuriously furnished, the tables were very long, and when we arrived at the restaurant, the tables were already full.

I was placed with Ying Li and Shirley Newman as the closest to the Duchess.

The dishes on the dinner are naturally very rich, the only fly in the ointment is that some of the meat I can't taste at all, but the meat feels a little old, fortunately, the chef's cooking techniques are not bad, and all the food has a strong Ilinas flavor.

During the meal, the atmosphere was very warm, and Noah's brothers and sisters seemed to be very curious about everything, and they inquired about the nobility circle of the imperial capital, what the young nobles of the imperial capital usually liked to do, and of course they would also ask about some things about me, and they would also ask Shirley Newman about some legends of the Bednar swordsman.

In short, they always like to hear new and interesting or legendary stories, but they never talk about dimensional wars.

It's just that it's been affected by the plane war, and many novel stories have something to do with the plane war.

When they heard that two months ago, Noah had gone to the Hiero plane with the Royal Academy of Magic and experienced a plane experience for themselves, their mouths opened wide in surprise, and then they all looked at Noah incredulously.

Someone opened their mouth to ask about the customs of the Hiero plane, and Noah began to tell them about the Natives of Hiero in the Black Forest, as well as those spider-man warriors and giant spiders, as well as the great battle between the logistics group and the spider-man warriors.

Then, everyone talked about Illinas City.

One of Noah's elder brothers said to Noah, Noah, you must take your friends to enjoy some of the scenery of Illinas this time, and if there is anything you want to go, my brother will come forward to help you arrange it.

Noah smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm going to take them around the city and the seashore tomorrow, and then I'll go to the Vasqui plane through the portal, and Louis will arrange it for me!"

Then, suddenly, the restaurant became silent.

Everyone looked at Noah in amazement.

Only then did the Duchess put aside the knife in her hand, took a snow-white silk napkin to wipe the corners of her lips, raised her head and said to Noah: "I saw Louis's letter, I originally thought that Louis wanted to take the postgraduate examination for you, and I wanted you to ask your thoughts after you came back, it seems that you proposed to Louis to travel to the Vasquire plane?"

"Yes, we've been planning for a long time to get to the Vasqui plane, and we've been well prepared!" Noah said with a swear.

At this time, someone suddenly realized: "No wonder Louis asked Rand to send you back, it turned out that he wanted Rand to protect you!"

"However, news from Vaschi says that the situation in Vasqui's plane has recently deteriorated, and the scouts have found traces of the dark forces of the Abyss on several islands. Someone next to Noah spoke, his eyes full of worry.

It looks like it should be one of Noah's brothers.
