Chapter 3: Bartholomew
At night, the starry sky is like a curtain, covering the entire starry sky, but the stars in the sky are obviously not satisfied with being covered, and they have emerged one after another, showing their own brilliance.
In a slightly dimly lit chamber, a torch lit with wood crackled. A figure appeared very abruptly from the shadows, as if it were a door, he opened the door very gracefully from behind the door, and then walked as if he were going to a ball, his movements looked exactly like a nobleman everywhere, and even the most discerning ceremonial in the imperial court could not find the slightest fault with him! Of course, if you ignore the kind of oppression and coldness from the soul that he brings.
"Your Excellency!" I saw a tall and thin man stand up from the wooden chair he was sitting on. If Dalena had been here, she would have recognized this man as Kenneth Abraham, Raphael Abraham's uncle.
"Kenneth, your nephew didn't die to my surprise. I have to say, what a good nephew, ah, it's a pity that I don't have such a good nephew. The man's voice sounded a little feminine at first, but then it seemed to be like a magic voice in the brain, and it seemed that the words were engraved in his mind one by one, making people feel a little pain.
If Raphael were here, he would have been able to tell that this was not a person, but an out-and-out devil! At that time, Raphael guessed that the things behind this were not so simple, dissociation, that was a sixth-order magic. This is not a spell that an ordinary magician can cast! At that time, Raphael's first guess was the devil, and you must know that Raphael had dealt with them a lot! Their means, Raphael could think of with his toes.
Moreover, the devil has a great advantage over this kind of spell, and humans need the dissociation technique that can only be learned by the sixth order, and they can learn it when they are at the fourth order! That's the advantage of talent!
The devil, the master of deception, seduction, deception! They hide in the shadows to manipulate the situation, play with conspiracies, and they are the best courtiers. They have been shadowed behind many wars in history, and they seem to have fun with them. But I have to say that they are indeed talents in this area!
There is a saying among the nobles, "You are treacherous like a devil!" ”
Remember, this quote is definitely positive and not derogatory!
"How is that possible, my lord, didn't you say that he would definitely die?" Hearing this man's words, Kenneth seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt, stunned for a moment, and then stammered a little. You must know that your nephew is a magician, and you are just an ordinary person, you can imagine the revenge you may face next! After all, if you think about it, you must be cursed here!
At that time, he also sent someone to camp at Pastor Carey's, and when he heard that Pastor Carey couldn't cure them and let them send Raphael to Bartholomew, Kenneth was completely relieved, after all, even if the journey from Yuki to Bartholomew was fast, it was impossible to arrive without four or five days, and he didn't think that his nephew would be able to get through.
But the reality is so cruel, damn it, he really suffered it! It really plunged Kenneth into an endless sense of fear. After all, in the face of a mage's wrath, Kenneth could not have imagined. Although he hadn't seen his nephew do any magic, it was a hearsay fear.
"Don't be afraid, Kenneth. Your nephew's behavior just surprised me, there have always been one or two more robust bugs in history, but that doesn't mean anything, Kenneth. Bugs are still bugs after all, and can a dragon still be afraid of a bug? Contrary to Kenneth's fears, the devil sat down with great interest, and saw a beautiful chair in the empty place, made of fine emerald wood, and inlaid with a layer of star iron, which gave the whole room a psychedelic feel.
If such a chair is put on the auction house to be sold, it will not be able to be done without tens of thousands of gold soles. You must know that the money that Yuki Ling can get for a year is estimated to be only thirty gold soles!
Kenneth glanced at the chair and withdrew his gaze. He knew that although this thing was good, it was obviously not something he could sit on.
"That's what your lord said!" Kenneth responded, though apparently less confident. After all, what he said at the beginning was that both of them would definitely die, so he did this deal. The current situation was obviously unexpected, but Kenneth didn't dare to say more, after all, he didn't have the strength to compete with the adult in front of him.
As for who the adult in front of him was, Kenneth didn't know. Don't talk about identity, he doesn't even know what people's names are, but what he knows is that the strength of this adult in front of him is very terrifying, he has seen this adult turn a group of gnolls into puddles of pus with just a few fingers, and Kenneth doesn't think he is stronger than jackals!
"Kenneth, as long as you give me what I want, I will guarantee that you will become the lord of this realm! As for your nephew, don't worry, he can't make any waves! ”
"I see."
……
"Young Master, we're going to Bartholomew!" Jarvis' voice could be heard outside the car.
After five days, they finally arrived at Bartholomew, one of the great cities of the Northland. With a total population of about 200,000 people, Bartholomew is located in the south-south part of the Northlands, and the land is fertile and occupies several magic crystal veins, near the Illiktra Forest. It can be said that it is a region rich in natural resources.
Bartholomew was founded because the fertile land here could transport a large amount of food to the south, mainly to defend against demonic beasts from the Illiktra Forest. Therefore, Bartholomew is also an important supply city for many adventurers, with many large and small chambers of commerce, blacksmith shops, etc.
And because of its prosperity and prosperity, there are many trade routes connected here, and there is the dangerous but full of opportunities of the Illiktra Forest, so this is also the Kinsol warehouse for bandits and thieves!
The carriage in which the three of them rode was not ornate, or even a few years old, and the family crest could still be faintly seen on it, but it was also a little faint, and it was obvious that his master did not continue to add more glory to him. But at least it can be called a noble carriage, and there is a priest in it.
Naturally, there is no need to go to the crowded queue with those ordinary people to enter the city, but the entrance fee of ten copper soles is still indispensable. After all, Abraham was not a big family, or a little-known family. There are more than a hundred of this kind of nobles in Bartholomew City, and this is still because of the territory, otherwise the number of people will be even higher!
And Raphael is not a powerful man, so the guards naturally have to stretch out their hands......
Although everyone was in a hurry, the gold sol in the lord's mansion did not forget to bring it out, after all, if you want to treat it in the temple without cost, people will not bird you, but even if you take it out, it is only fifty gold soles, I have to say that it is a bit miserable for the nobles to do this......
