The mansion where Lady Cecilia lived was a small, well-designed house in the second block of the imperial capital, covering an area of less than a quarter of a square hectare.

The house is very elegant, with a neat and rigorous layout of the exterior wall made of bluestone strips, and a four-story main building comes into view along the main road into the courtyard. It is a baroque building with a white façade and a red roof, and the marble columns on the walls are covered with various elaborate reliefs, which are hidden between the Taylor tree and the red gold kapok.

This courtyard is built at the intersection of the second and third blocks, and when you walk in, you can feel a kind of seclusion here, making it hard to believe that there is a lively market not far away, perhaps the tall trees in the courtyard block the noisy sounds of the city, there is a group of fountains in the courtyard, more than 20 exquisite carved pot pillars are erected on the courtyard road, and some vines climb on the shelves, forming a beautiful green corridor.

It is said that there is a square swimming pool in the backyard, which looks very elegant in the middle of the dense trees.

Lady Cecilia, dressed in a splendid dress, stood on the steps of the house with her butler and valet in her handmaiden, and she saw the Jerkis scholar step down from the magic caravan, her rouge-covered beautiful face was full of happy smiles, she held a small and beautiful folding fan, and the two maids carried long dresses behind her, and walked slowly down the steps.

With a faint smile on her face, Lady Cecilia said to the Jerkis scholar at the bottom of the steps, "Jerkes, you are really punctual!"

Scholar Yerkis greeted Lady Cecilia, unfazed by her slightly sarcastic words, tilted his head, pulled a magic chest from his magical waist bag and placed it on the ground, smiled at her, and said, "I have brought everything you want, Cecilia, and you must know that it takes a lot of time to prepare these things. ”

Lady Cecilia's gaze swept over the sealed box and finally landed on me, and she smiled at me and said, "Wizard Gigga, I am honored to have you here!"

I nodded at Madame Cecilia and looked around at the beautiful house, where it seemed that all the arrangements in the courtyard were made with great attention to detail, and the granite stone steps under my feet were finely polished, and the surface of the stone bars was non-slip, and the stone steps were immaculately cleaned.

Scholar Yerkis stood at the bottom of the steps, put his hand around my shoulder, and said to Lady Cecilia, "Cecilia, you really want to thank Jijia this time, this batch of magic pattern constructs can be made so quickly, it is entirely because of Jijia's diligence and hard work. ”

"Is this true? Yerkes?" Lady Cecilia's eyes lit up, and her gaze fell back on mine.

"Of course, as a magician, I never exaggerate the facts. "Scholar Yerkes said with a 'hehe' smile, he was in a good mood tonight.

Lady Cecilia had now gone down the stone steps, stood between the scholar and me, took Yerkes' arm in one hand and mine in the other, and pressed my arm tightly to her full breast, and said to me warmly: "Jenny has been obsessed with you since the last time we met, Wizard Girga, and I will have her called to accompany you! ”

I thought of the fair-faced girl and said, "You are so kind, Lady Cecilia. ”

The three of us walked up the steps, and the two maids stood behind Madame Cecilia, helping her to drag her heavy skirt, and the slanting sun shone on the three of us, dyeing Madame Cecilia's snow-white skin with a golden glow, and she squinted, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she turned her head to look at me and said, "Oh, by the way, Wizard Giga, you must not have guessed that there is another person you know among my guests tonight!"

There was a hint of jealousy hidden in Lady Cecilia's words.

I quietly asked, "Do I know anyone, who is she?"

Lady Cecilia glanced at Scholar Yerkis again before whispering, "It's Lady Arya, she happened to come to my side today to discuss a business." ”

Sure enough, Arya is still there, and it looks like the transaction of this mansion has been going on since the morning.

I laughed and said, "Is Arya there too? That's a coincidence." ”

She rolled her eyes slightly, and said to me, "If you suddenly appear in front of her, maybe you will surprise her." ”

She didn't seem to feel how obvious the tentative intention in her heart was, and the Yerkis scholar standing on the other side interrupted her and said to her, "Cecilia, last time I heard you say that you want to leave the imperial capital?"

When Lady Cecilia heard the Yerkis scholar ask her, she nodded and said, "Well, I will return to Aidra with my retinue. ”

After saying that, she looked at the courtyard with nostalgia, a reluctant look in her eyes, and said to the Yerkis scholar, "By the way, I have already sold this mansion." ”

"Hey, it's a pity to sell such a good house, and if you want to buy it back in the future, I'm afraid it's not so easy. The Jerkis scholar quipped to Lady Cecilia, but the Jerkis scholar was not at all surprised, and looked like he should have known about it a long time ago.

Lady Cecilia exhaled deeply, with a hint of sadness in her tone, and said to the Yerkes scholar, "The official deal has been completed today, Yerkes, and from tomorrow onwards, I will no longer be the owner of this mansion." ”

The three of us walked up the steps, and the waiters standing on either side of the gate pushed the door open for us, and we walked together into the ornate hall on the first floor of the mansion, where the maids changed into comfortable soft shoes for us, and stepped on the soft velvet carpet as if we were walking on the clouds.

Scholar Yerkis looked at Lady Cecilia, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Do you regret it, it's too late to regret it now, if you want to stay in the imperial capital, I guarantee that you can maintain your current life." ”

Lady Cecilia let go of me, turned around and hugged the scholar of Yerkes tightly, resting her head on his shoulder, and then whispered: "No, I don't regret it, not at all, I have long been bored with the life I have now, I want to make a change in my life, you know, there are not many opportunities left for me, this time I will not give up on anything, Yerkes, don't persuade me again." ”

The Yerkes scholar readily agreed, "Well, I respect your choice. ”

It took a long time for Mrs. Cecilia to struggle to stand up straight from the arms of the Jerkis scholar, and then took out a small bronze mirror to skillfully straighten the makeup on her face, and said to the Jerkis scholar quickly, "Jerkes, you are a true gentleman. ”

Yes, Jerkis had been handed a good guy card by Lady Cecilia, and the Jerkes scholar was very proud and smiled at me past Lady Cecilia.

The expression of the Yerkes scholar made me speechless, and I thought: You have been issued a good person card, what else is there to be proud of.

We didn't stop in the living room on the first floor, but walked straight down the hallway to the back, where it looked like the dinner was ready, and it was supposed to be in the gorgeous dining room on the ground floor.

The crystal chandeliers on the ceiling shine brightly, illuminating the gold-painted murals on the walls.

The walls of the corridor are covered with frescoes of figures painted in gold, and the pictures also show some nobles holding banquets.

Lady Cecilia sorted out her emotions for a moment, and then her gaze fell on me, she looked at my magic robes, and finally her gaze fell on the junior inscription master badge in front of my chest, her eyes became shining, and I had a feeling that at this time, Lady Cecilia must be calculating someone.

Sure enough, at this time, I heard Lady Cecilia say to me in the corridor: "Jijia, maybe you don't know it, Lady Arya came this time to buy this manor for the gold lord behind her, it is said that Arya also controls a lot of business of that person, and the biggest business in her hands is weaving magic fabrics, and now the cloth merchants and tailors in the entire imperial capital have to look at Arya's face." ”

I wondered what she was going to say next, so I looked at her quietly.

"I'm a little curious about what Arya is so close to you for, and although you must be on a smooth path to magic in the future, it can't attract her at all, and I don't think she'll be able to have the patience to wait for the next ten ......years," Lady Cecilia said to me.

It's not a long corridor, and although we walk slowly, there will be an end to it.

“...... So, maybe she's looking for some of those precious magic pattern building blueprints that you have in your hands...... I wasn't saying anything alarmist, the nobles of the entire imperial capital were staring at these three primary magic pattern construction drawings of Yerkes. Lady Cecilia finally came to a conclusion, saying this.

Scholar Yerkes frowned slightly, he was ignorant of the world, but it didn't mean that he was a fool, talking to Lady Cecilia like this, Yerkis said: "Cecilia, in fact, I have already made a decision. ”

Lady Cecilia asked, somewhat nonchalantly, "Oh, what kind of decision?"

"I would like to hang the blueprints of the three sets of demonic structures – 'The Snake's Fang', 'The Power of the Bear', and 'The Shield of the Earth' – on the wall of the cloister at the headquarters of the Guild of Inscriptions. ”

Lady Cecilia's eyes widened, and she looked at the Yerkis scholar and asked with some excitement, "Do you want to publish these three sets of drawings to the public?" So, all the inscriptionists in the imperial capital are about to learn these three sets of your magic pattern construction?"

"That's right!"

Yerkes Scholar said: "There is nothing to hide from these blueprints, we can't hide what we can learn, we can't learn it, even if we publish the original structural plans, they can't make the same magic pattern construction as us." ”

Lady Cecilia immediately said, "I should turn all the magical structures purchased by the Knights into 'Bear Power' and 'Earth Shield'. ’”

"That's impossible," says the Yerkis scholar......

Before the Yerkes scholar could finish his sentence, a familiar voice was heard at the end of the corridor: "Lady Cecilia, do you have any other guests tonight?"

Lady Cecilia heard Arya's soft and magnetic voice, looked at me playfully, and said loudly to the end of the hallway, "Oh, it's the Jerkis Scholar and the Giga Wizard, Arya, aren't you going to say hello to the Giga Wizard?"

At this moment, a familiar figure came out of the arch at the end of the corridor, and Arya came out wearing a gown, looked at me in surprise and said, "Why are you here too?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders, glanced at the Yerkes scholar beside me, and then said to Arya, "I accompanied the Yerkes scholar to deliver the magic pattern construction, and I didn't expect that the Yerkis scholar was in a hurry to make the magic pattern construction recently, and it was actually for Lady Cecilia. ”

Arya walked up and greeted Yerkes, grabbing me by the arm.

The Yerkes scholar pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said a little embarrassedly, "It's just an ordinary transaction, there are no other factors in it." ”

I thought to myself, "Nothing else!If you replaced Lady Cecilia with someone else, you'd see if you would bother with him! Armor made of the fine leather of petrified lizards and earth storms wasn't as easy to buy as wind snakeskin armor and ghost general armor.

At this time, Arya winked at Lady Cecilia and asked her, "Cecilia, it turns out that the rumors that you are going to form a Knights in Costume are true. ”

Lady Cecilia nodded slightly.

Then we walked into Cecilia's dining room, where Caterina and Karantso were sitting at the table in long dresses, and they didn't expect me to come at this time, and when they saw me walk into the restaurant, they subconsciously stood up.

The table was filled with all sorts of exquisite fruit baskets, and Lady Cecilia sat in the master's seat, the Jerkes Scholar sat on her right hand, and Arya sat on her left, and I was not arranged by Lady Cecilia to sit next to Lady Arya, but sat next to the Jerkes Scholar, face to face with Caterina beside Aria, and there was a flower basket at the table between me and Caterina, and Caterina looked at me, pursed her lips, and smiled faintly.

Sitting at Katarina's position was the orc warrior Karantso, who sat there calmly, not seeing the other orc warriors, and it seemed that they should have been properly arranged elsewhere.

Once we were seated, the chef who was standing next to us whispered to Madame Cecilia, "Madame, is it time for the dinner to begin?"

"Wait a minute, my niece hasn't arrived yet. Arya said to the head chef.

It didn't take long for Jenny Cecilia to come in a hurry, although she came in a hurry, but she was still wearing a delicate evening dress and a light makeup on her face, she stood at the door of the restaurant, Madame Cecilia hurriedly beckoned her in, whispered a few words in her ear, although a little reluctantly, but still nodded.

Then she whispered to Madame Cecilia, who raised her eyebrows, glared at Jenny Cecilia, and asked her to sit down beside me.

At this time, Arya asked Lady Cecilia, "Cecilia, are you really planning to go to the Rocky Plane?"
