As soon as Ingres walked into the hall, Leonric greeted him, introducing himself and inviting Ingres to take a seat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Angel glanced at the guests, Cindia smiled and accepted the scrutiny, and Magdal lowered her head slightly as Angle's eyes swept over.

Leonrick pointed to the middle-aged lady on the right hand seat and introduced, "This is my wife, Cindia. ”

Then he pointed at Magda and sighed softly, "Magda, what are you doing with your head down, you haven't come to apologize to the adults." ”

When Magdal heard this, she immediately stood up and saluted Angelford shyly and timidly: "My lord, it was my ...... last time."

Without waiting for Magda to finish speaking, Angel looked away and looked at Leonrick: "Save some strength to speak, no need to apologize, the punishment has already been punished, and I will not pursue it." ”

Magdal froze.

Although she said that it didn't matter, Angel ignored her the whole time, which made Magda's original emotional apology and confession turn into a flush.

-- It's all choke.

Ingres sits on the left hand as the chief of the left hand, which is the most honorable guest in traditional aristocratic etiquette except for the host.

"I don't know what to call you?" said Leonrick as he sat down, and began to speak cautiously.

Angel originally wanted to say his real name, but when he looked back, since he used a code name on the magician's side, he just continued to use it: "Mask." ”

It is very rude to say a code name without saying it. But Leonrick's expression just froze, and he continued: "It turned out to be a masquerade-sama, Magda was too rude a few days ago, although the adult said that he would not pursue it, but as a father, my heart is still very uncomfortable, and I am here to solemnly apologize to the adult on behalf of the little girl." ”

After that, Leonrick poured wine and punished himself.

Angel didn't interrupt his apology this time, which made a trace of grievance rise in the heart of Magda, who was sitting on the side.

When Li Onrick finished his posture, Angel said with a smile: "I accept your apology." ”

Angels' words made everyone stunned. Didn't he say before that he didn't need to apologize? Why did he say that he accepted the apology now?

It took Leonric a long time to react, Angel was turning a corner and saying that he had no way to teach his daughter, and he could ignore his daughter Magda's rudeness with an attitude of adults not remembering villains, but for the main reason why Magdal was so rude - the family education was not strict, Angel was actually clear.

Therefore, McGda's apology, he just did not pursue it, and Leonrick's apology, he expressed forgiveness.

None of the people present were stupid, and Ingres's subtext was heard. Magda's eyes turned red, and she was about to say something when her thigh was held down by her mother, Cindia, who was sitting next to her. Cindia glanced at Magdal with a warning look, then turned her head with a smile on her face.

"Alas, it's all my goddaughter's lack of a way, only Magda's child, who is used to being arrogant and indulgent. From now on, I will ask the strictest of etiquette officers to teach her, and for the next six months, I will keep McGdala under strict control until she can transform from the inside out. ”

What Leonrick said was like a grounding order, which made Magda, who longed for a free life, want to argue immediately, but Cindia pressed her hard under the table, and Magda could only nod aggrievedly.

"That's the end of this topic, you invited me here, shouldn't it be just for this matter?"

As he spoke, Angel picked up the delicate glass on the table, and Leonrick immediately motioned to the bartender next to him with his eyes to mix the wine, but Angel stopped the bartender, and a wave of magic was transmitted from the model in his body.

With a gentle shake, the cup is full of water.

"Alcohol interferes with emotions and disrupts thinking. I prefer plain water to alcohol. In fact, what Angels wanted to say was that "my favorite drink is tea", but he was afraid that as soon as the words came out, Li Angrik would really serve tea. But he was referring to milk tea, not the quirky fermented tea that ordinary aristocrats loved to drink.

Ingres's wonderful method of "making something out of nothing" shocked everyone present.

After a long time, Li Onrick came back to his senses and forced his composure: "I invite you here, mainly to apologize, and there are some small things I want to ask my lord." ”

Angel raised his eyes and didn't say anything, just motioned for Leonrick to continue.

Leonric didn't speak immediately, but motioned for Cindia to leave with Magda. Then he sent away all the people in the hall, leaving only the butler to wait.

"I just want to know if Kamen-sama is a legend...... Wizard?"

Angler paused, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Leonric if he knew some news about wizards, but he didn't expect that before he could ask, Leonric had already asked first.

"Of course, it's okay if you don't answer. It's just a little curiosity on my part. Seeing Angel's figure, Li Onrick was stunned, for fear that the other party would be unhappy, and immediately added.

Angel smiled faintly: "Of course you can, but before I answer, I want to know, where did the Count learn about the wizard?"

Leonrick had no doubts about this question: "My family has been going on for nearly nine hundred years, and I have recorded many secrets. There was a mention of wizards, but I used to think of it as a legend. ”

Ingres: "Can you show me what you said?"

Li Onrick was stunned, his expression was hesitant, the family secrets involved a lot of things, some were too dirty, and some even talked about the secrets of the royal court and showed them to an outsider...... He couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing this, Angel said calmly, "I am indeed a wizard. ”

Angel didn't explain the difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice, and for ordinary people, it was the same anyway.

Hearing Angel's answer, Leonric's eyes were filled with a sense of understanding and a hint of fear. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "I didn't expect that there really were wizards in the world, and the rumors turned out to be true." ”

"The world of wizards and the world of ordinary people will not intersect. In general, wizards do not disturb the lives of ordinary people. What Angel didn't explain was that the reason why wizards didn't bother ordinary people was purely because the power gap was too great. Have you ever seen someone who is inexplicably hostile to ants? The magnitude is different, so even the most evil wizard is too lazy to mix in the life of a mortal.

Leonrick was silent for a while: "Lord Kamen, the secrets of the Griffin family are kept by the head of the family on weekdays, and according to the clan rules, outsiders are not allowed to watch them. ”

"If adults have to see it, I can take it out. When Leonric said this, he cautiously said the next sentence that made him extremely worried: "But can I ask my lord for one thing?"

With a family secret, please ask a wizard for one thing. Li Onrick himself thinks this is extremely unreasonable, just like a person who takes a fancy to the Yoneda Koball ball pushed by the shell, and he wants to take it away, will he ask the shell to agree?

Leonrick's heart was full of uneasiness.

Ingres didn't answer for a long time, and Leonric wanted to give up, so he directly took out the leather scroll that recorded the secret and asked Ingres for forgiveness.

But just then, Ingres spoke: "I can give you a chance to express your plea." ”

Ingres didn't say yes, he didn't say no. Leonric's cautious request made him seem to see himself not long ago, when he and Red Lotus were also in such an unequal position.

He understood the apprehension, but it wasn't enough to justify the "agree" answer.

At most, Ingres, with empathy, gave Leonrick a chance to speak. As for whether to say yes or not, that's a later story.

Although Angel did not agree, Leonric was still pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said his request.

"I don't want to ask for my own business. Leonrick sighed, "Don't look at Watergrass, but as the de facto manager of Watergrass, I know that there are still so many places in the city that I can't reach." The things I ask for are the things that I can't reach, and I don't even have a solution to. ”

"You mean the Gray Forces?" Ingres raised an eyebrow.

"No, no city is completely clean. There is white and there is black, so the existence of Barr is not a problem for me. ”

"So what are you talking about...... Magician?"

Leonrick shook his head: "As for the magician, I don't dare and don't have the qualifications to ask the adults to come forward for us. What I'm talking about is actually a strange thing that ordinary people can't solve, but maybe adults can solve. ”

"A strange thing that ordinary people can't solve?" a hint of curiosity rose in Ingres's heart.

"This thing starts from a year ago......"

A year ago, there was a man in Watgrass who suddenly got a strange disease, and after being sent to the Golden Cross Medical School, he had no symptoms at first, but in the back, his body began to weaken, at first he was unable to move, and then he was slowly unable to speak, his eyes were glazed, and finally he was like a living dead. Obviously there are still signs, the basic physiological stress is still there, but the whole reaction is that of a dead person.

Since the strange disease appeared a year ago, there have been more than 100 cases so far.

"All the professors of the Golden Cross Medical School moved, and even some family members took the initiative to donate a 'living dead' for vivisection, but in the end, the results of the autopsy were still no problem. ”

"So, I'd like to ask you to take a look, okay?"

This request surprised Angel a little. Leonrick said for a long time, please do not do it for himself, but for the people. If there is no strange thing in the middle, it seems that Leonrick, the earl, is a clear stream among the nobles.

Ingres has little concept of healing. Although he knows a little bit of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, what he learns is theory, and clinical practice can only rely on guesswork. But he doesn't have stage fright, and he doesn't necessarily have to agree to this condition anyway.

"What is the specific basis on which the strange disease you are talking about is determined?"

Li Onrick: "I didn't expect the adults to grasp the key point so quickly, and the reason why it was judged to be a strange disease is to blame it on the initial symptoms......

"All of these 100 patients have one thing in common. ”

- All of them have lost their shadows.
