my age of magic

Chapter 901 3. Dinner Party
The mansion of the Duke of Mansa was built on the highest point of the mountain city, where a giant statue of a mage stood, with a lighthouse on top of the staff of the statue.

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

But when I saw a royal lion eagle flying high in the dusk, it flew into the lighthouse with a knight.

A moment later, a blazing flame lit up on the top of the statue's staff. I believe that in the dark night where you can't see your fingers, the light from this lighthouse will surely make those who have sailed at sea for several months or even a year or two The crew cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

The manor of the Duke of Mensa is not just an old castle. Strictly speaking, it can be said to be a group of magnificent palaces.

When the silver magic caravan drove into the manor of the Duke of Mensa and looked at the row upon row of houses on the hill, I had a clearer feeling that the scale of Illinas City was actually not much smaller than Sloit City.

This mountain city looks more layered, and it can clearly give people a rough outline in their hearts. From top to bottom, the layering is very clear. The lower the status and wealth of the people who live at the bottom, the richer people If you live in the middle of the hillside, the more you go up, the cleaner the streets and the wider the cobblestone roads. The more you go up, the more ostentatious the shops on both sides of the street will be, and the more decently dressed the pedestrians on the street will be.

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 mansion of Duke Mensa surrounded by the statue of the mage.

The giant statue is located in the open-air square of the Mensa Manor. The square is surrounded by green lawns, and the stone roads extending in all directions form an extremely complicated pattern on the lawn.

At night, the Mensa manor was brightly lit, the carriage was parked beside the stone steps of the castle, the gate of the castle was open, and the left and right sides were full of waiters and maids. Noah couldn't wait to push the door out of the magic caravan and jumped out. A group of nobles standing on the steps waved vigorously.

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

I followed Noah and got out of the carriage, the eyes of the group fell on me, and there were uncontrollable whispers from the crowd.

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

Although the voice was suppressed very low in the crowd, it still reached my ears. I swear, I will never forget this special voice.

At this time, I remembered the clear and sweet voice again. I couldn't look into the crowd, but I guessed that she should be a young girl: "His hair is 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 boy in the voice-changing period hissed slightly, and said in a very annoying tone: "Hey! I was shocked, didn't you say that Noah brought his girlfriend back this time?"

The girl reprimanded the boy in the voice-changing period: "Idiot, Noah's girlfriend must be behind!"

At this time, Shirley Newman and Ying Li came down together, followed by Helena and Becky, and Katerina and Shirley Newman's maid followed at the end of the team.

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

I took the opportunity to look up the steps.

"Let's guess which one of these girls who came down from the carriage is Noah's sweetheart, I bet it's not the one with the most beautiful face." Said: "Who dares to bet two magic crystals with me?"

It's just that the young man didn't give him any face, rolled his eyes, and turned his head to the other side.

The boy in the voice-changing period smiled nonchalantly, looking very proud.

At this time, the young man standing on the other side of the voice-changing boy smiled at the boy and asked him: "Jacques, did you lose all your money in the casino? What's there to gamble with two magic crystals, I guess It should be the one with the dimple on her face, you can tell by the way she walks that she has received the best etiquette lessons."

"Why don't you just say that she is Angel Boulder's princess?" The voice-changing boy retorted directly.

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

At this time, a lady standing in the front row covered her mouth, turned around and said to them, "It seems that you are all going to lose!"

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

The group of young people immediately became noisy, and I vaguely heard someone say: "Tch, how could it be this lady, she doesn't look like anything special!"

"How could it not be possible!" Another person immediately retorted: "I heard that Noah's girlfriend is also a top student at the Royal Academy of Magic?"

The person exclaimed: "Huh? This...is actually a magician with amazing 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 female magicians who are so beautiful?"

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

"Please pay attention, the one holding Noah's arm should be like Noah, a freak who is extremely sensitive to magic. She is the most outstanding young magician in a certain province, so you It's best not to hear these comments from Noah's girlfriend." Someone in the crowd reminded him coldly.

These words were very lethal, and the crowd became quieter all of a sudden, and at this time, Noah had already pulled Shirley Newman and me to the middle of the steps.

"Ahem, well, young gentlemen and ladies, please pay attention to your speech and behavior, you are a group of well-educated noble children." An old and steady voice said, it seemed that he wanted to stand up and clean up the mess.

However, someone in the crowd immediately protested: "Okay, Butler Bird, stop talking, our ears are almost getting callused."

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

At this time, the noisy crowd in front of the castle gate suddenly fell silent, and the crowd quickly separated to both sides.

A noble lady came out with two maids. I couldn't see how old she should be. The years didn't leave too many marks on her face, but her penetrating eyes told For me, she is the hostess here.

Standing on the steps, she gave a gentle smile to Noah who was walking up the stone steps, and stretched out her hands to Noah.

Noah let us go, 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 while, she said gently: "It seems that 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 Jijia. I told you in my letter that he is my friend."

I bowed to the Duchess, and the Duchess nodded to me and said, "Louis mentioned you in his letter, and he praised you a lot. I hope you will be Noah's best friend for life."

He brought Shirley Newman in front of the Duchess, and said shyly, "This is Shirley. You said you couldn't wait to see her, and now I'm bringing her to you."

Shirley Newman's face was flushed and she looked very nervous. The Duchess stepped forward to hold Shirley's hand and said to her gently: "I hope you can have a pleasant vacation here."

Afterwards, Noah introduced Yingli again and said, "This is Yingli, a friend of Jijia and me."

Hearing Ying Li's name, the Duchess's eyes obviously fluctuated slightly. She looked at Ying Li seriously, and then her eyes glanced at Helena and Becky. The Duchess said a few words to Ying Li gently Then he took us to the castle together.

After Noah briefly introduced us to Duchess Mensa, he introduced us to his brothers and sisters.

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

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

There was even a fault in Aili's family. The old Duke of Walter who passed on Jingyue Aili's title was actually Jingyue Aili's grandfather.

The Busman family doesn't seem to be very prosperous, otherwise Duke Ryan would not be so doting on Quentin. Quentin was appointed by Duke Ryan as the future successor of the Busman family just because he has the talent of the family blood.Speaking of this reason, it is somewhat reluctant.

Now that I am at the gate of the castle, I saw such a large group of brothers and sisters in Noah's family, and I realized that the Mensa family is really flourishing and has a large number of brothers and sisters.

The shrewd butler took several waiters and arranged several of us in the guest rooms on the third floor of the castle. I asked the butler where Kalancuo and the tauren Luka were placed. The butler told me very politely, my Followers will and will be properly arranged.

I washed up a bit in the room, and before I had time to visit Yingli's room, a waiter invited us to the restaurant for dinner.

The restaurant is very luxuriously furnished and the table is very long. When we arrived at the restaurant, the table was already full of people.

Yingli, Shirley Newman and I were arranged to be in the closest position to the Duchess.

The dishes on the dinner are naturally very rich. The only fly in the ointment is that I can't taste the specific meat at all, but the meat tastes a little old. Fortunately, the chef's cooking skills are not bad. All the food is delicious Has a strong Illinois flavour.

During the meal, the atmosphere was very lively. Noah's brothers and sisters seemed to be very curious about everything. They chattered about the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital and what the young nobles of the imperial capital usually like to do. Of course They will also inquire about some things about me, and they will also ask Shirley Newman about some legends about Swordsman Benar.

In short, they always like to hear some fresh, interesting or legendary stories, but never mention the war between the planes.

It's just influenced by the plane war, and many novel stories have some relationship with the plane war.

When they heard that two months ago, Noah went to the Hierro plane with the Royal Academy of Magic and experienced a plane experience, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and then looked at Noah in disbelief.

Someone asked about the local conditions and customs of the Hierro plane, and Noah began to tell them about the Hierro natives in the Black Forest, those spider warriors and giant spiders, and the battle between the logistics team and the spider warriors , Noah said it vividly, and after the group of young people heard it, they all looked envious, but no one proposed to go to the plane to see it.

Then, everyone chatted 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. If there is any place you want to go, my brother will come forward to help you arrange it.

Noah smiled and said, okay, but I plan to take them around the city and the beach tomorrow, and then go to the Vashj plane through the portal, and Louis has made arrangements for me!

Then, the restaurant suddenly became silent.

Everyone looked at Noah in surprise.

At this time, the Duchess put the table knife in her hand aside, took a white silk napkin to wipe the corners of her lips, raised her head and said to Noah: "I saw the letter from Louis, and I thought it was Louis who wanted to take your postgraduate entrance examination. , I want to ask you what you think after you come back, it seems that you proposed to Louis to travel to the Vashj plane?"

"Yes, we have planned for a long time to go to the Vashj plane, and we have made full preparations!" Noah said confidently.

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!"

"But the news from Vashj said that the situation in Vashj's plane has become terrible recently, and the scouts have found traces of the dark forces of the abyss on many islands." Someone beside Noah said, he His eyes were full of worry.

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