Chapter 358: 'Ancestral House' III.
The dinner in the Zelgaon family mansion was not very exquisite, but it was quite sumptuous.
When a whole roasted horned sheep was brought up, even the countess, who was prepared to be a little picky, was finally speechless.
Because, that tastes really good.
Therefore, the countess glanced at the two servants of the Zergaon family in astonishment: Tom and Jerry.
According to the previous report of her subordinates, the young people who went out after that were completely hands-on, and it was these two middle-aged people who really contributed.
In the same way, she also got the status of two middle-aged people who were also supposed to be wizards.
Suddenly, the countess felt a little uncomfortable.
When did the wizard become so worthless.
Can you become a butler, a servant, and a cook at will?
Then, when Tom took the kitchen knife and cut the horned sheep very neatly, the countess's heart became more and more uncomfortable - she could see that this was a pretty good swordsman.
Then think of the identity of the other party's wizard.
No matter how good the horned lamb tasted, the countess ate it very badly.
However, that didn't stop her subordinates from eating well.
"Last autumn, we deliberately raised some horned sheep in the surrounding forest – I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly!"
The old butler, like the butler of other families, immediately smiled when the guest felt at home.
"And these mushroom soups, although they are not fresh mushrooms, but we quickly dry them after we pick them. So. The taste is not much worse! ”
The old butler pointed to the pots of mushroom soup that had been served. Said slowly.
Next, some bread mixed with vegetables.
Of course, there are also two rare fish that appear.
And whenever a dish appears, the old housekeeper will explain one or two, from arresting, picking, to making zuò, just listening, it makes people feel that the saliva secretion is vigorous.
So. Everyone ate a little more tonight.
The countess's guards, in particular, were so happy that they were cheering when a jar of honey appeared.
Grilled meat, honey.
In their opinion, it is simply delicious.
The dinner lasted about three hours before it was over in earnest, and the countess's guards reluctantly returned to their rooms.
Tonight's dinner will surely be savored.
Of course, the only pity is that there is no alcohol.
The Zelgans did not really abstain from alcohol, but most of the time, they substituted various drinks for alcohol—a custom in the host's family. Of course they need to comply.
The countess got up and left the moment the dinner was over.
The Grand Duke Swordsman said goodbye to Dean before returning to her room.
"Chad. Divide people into two teams on duty! ”
After Dean had said this, he led the old butler, Tom, and Jerry into the mansion's study.
"Your Excellency!"
As soon as they entered the study, all three bowed to Dean at the same time.
The voice also changed slightly.
"Call me young master! Remember, you are now servants of House Zelgaon, not wizards of the Ring of Morbius...... Do you understand? ”
Dean said slowly in a slight voice.
"Yes, young master!"
The three of them immediately bowed and replied.
The old butler and servant who guarded the mansion was, of course, Haring, the superior wizard of the original Ring of Morbius, and his two assistants.
Before Dean detonated the entire magic circle with the burst crystal, Haring left from the other side of the magic circle with his two assistants, and entered the manor ahead of time, becoming the servant of the Zelgang family who had been guarding the manor.
Of course, the reason why it can be done so perfectly.
Naturally, it is inseparable from the materials taken from the Ring of Morbius.
"Young Master!"
The Harlem wizard, alias Sidru, placed a palm-sized bag and a box on the table.
"[Dimensional Bag] you can keep it for the time being!"
Glancing at the [Dimensional Bag] that could hold nearly ten square meters of items, Dean did not take it - for Dean, such a [Dimensional Bag], although precious, could not play its due role in his body at all.
After all, most of the materials inside are to maintain the magic array of the Ring of Mobius.
Now that the magic array is destroyed, these materials have no necessary effect, but this does not mean that they have no value, on the contrary, these magic materials are still very valuable.
It's just that it's a little 'hot'.
The Ring of Morbius will not rest on its laurels when it comes to perfecting the destruction of the 'Blood of God' magic array.
And he, the person who directly entered it, and then, after reappearing, the magic array exploded, was naturally the top priority.
As soon as he reveals anything related to it, it's a fight.
Even now, it's almost the same, but Dean doesn't want to fight because of the 'blood of God'!
After all, that thing is still a little unbearable for him now.
"Gold?"
Dean muttered to himself as the box in his hand opened.
There is a ring inside.
On the black velvet, the color of gold has a hint of dazzling.
Layers of scale-like inscriptions rise from both sides of the ring, and in the center of the ring, two tiny long sword inscriptions are carved into it.
On the inner ring of the ring, the number '7' is engraved on the seal.
Knight's Ring!
Unlike Dean's knock-off, it's a real Knight's Ring.
Obtained from the cemetery that originally belonged to the owner of this manor.
Historically, after the Second Blood Moon War, it was cared for by two tomb robbers and ransacked - though Dean eventually recovered the Knight's Ring. But it's just the Knight's Ring.
Dean stretched out his index finger and gently rubbed the scales on the ring.
It should be the scales of a dragon.
The speculation came from some of Dean's book readings—the sharp-edged scales. Always seen on some dragons.
The serpent's are always cold.
Lizards and the like. It is angular and uneven.
Therefore, it is relatively easy to identify.
The fingertips brushed over the scales and placed them on the two thin long sword inscriptions, and the whole process, even with Dean's [physique] at the moment, felt some tingling.
It shows the sharpness of those dragon scales.
And by the time Dean placed his fingertips on the inscriptions of the two tiny swords, the entire ring had already circled in his hand, a complete circle.
But. Still nothing happened.
"Sure enough, I didn't inherit the bloodline of those knights?"
After laughing at himself in his heart, Dean put the [Knight's Ring] on his left index finger.
He is not the only descendant who cannot inspire the [Knight's Ring], which is not a big deal, but the [Knight's Ring] that can prove his identity is enough.
After all, the '7' stands for Zelgaon!
The seventh of the thirteen captains under the command of the Empress - Lim. Zelgaon!
This is neither a Gosai nor an Emerald man, but the king of the Frost Elves with the title of 'King'.
'7' represents the strongest of them all.
Because. With six ring wearers on each side of it, it is not only a contact. Or a restraining person.
"Knight's Ring ......"
Dean looked at the ring's former glory, but finally sighed.
The empress has long been a legend, and the thirteen knights under her command have also become legends, even if the ring remains, but it has no effect.
After all, in addition to the Frost Elves who disappeared, the remaining twelve knight families also disappeared.
It's like a frost elf, disappearing without a trace.
To put it simply, this ring only proves that Dean is a descendant of Zelgan and has an empty honor.
As for the substance?
That's not at all!
"Young Master, we have found some books in addition to the bones in the tomb of the old man - I think you should take a look!"
Haring, who honestly positions himself as a butler, reminds Dean.
"Oh, bring it and I'll take a look!"
Dean said.
"Okay, young master!"
The old butler went out of the house.
Dean sat quietly behind his desk and waited - the books brought into the tomb were naturally very precious, and what secrets they contained would not surprise Dean.
Even, Dean already has some speculation.
For example: Complete [Frost Sword Technique]!
So Dean had an expectation in his heart.
Eventually, however, such an expectation came to naught as I flipped through the books Haring had brought to him.
Without the completion of the [Frost Sword Technique], there is not even knowledge related to secret techniques and secret traditions!
Some are just diaries.
Of course, Dean didn't stop reading just because it was a diary.
After instructing Tom and Jerry beside him to bring two candlesticks, Dean began to read all night.
The three servants who had signed the soul contract stood with their bows.
……
And while Dean was flipping through the diaries—
In the Emerald Mountains, there were quite a few uninvited guests near the Zelgang mansion.
One by one, they either went stealthily or unscrupulously.
That's how I searched for Zelgaon's mansion.
It's just that the illusion left behind by the outer layer makes more than eighty percent of these people not know how to move forward.
However, the two adults who had seen through the illusion had no intention of moving forward.
They just glanced at each other and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Undoubtedly......
Now, it's not the best time!
