Warlock Royal Family

At the breakfast table of the Doria family, the others did not notice that Ladislaus had a headache.

Ladislaus had that strange and vague dream again, the impossibly tall building, the impossibly fast and long carriage, and the flying metal machinery, every time he dreamed of these, he inherited the migraine from his father It will happen.

And the scene in this dream, if spread to the outside world, may obviously bring accusations of heresy or blasphemy.

Ladislaus, whose noble status is very reluctant, is not sure whether the Doria family will fight against the major temples for himself, so he tries not to show his pain.

The current patriarch of the Doria family, Admiral Andre-Doria, and his two sons are not here today. They are both naval officers of the Republic of Liguria, and they are both in the military port because of a diplomatic mission.

Today the Holy Roman Emperor made an unexpected stop in the Ligurian city on his way to Vienna.

So there were only Ladislaus' cousins ​​and aunts at the table, Miss Harna and Mrs. Doria, who did not notice that Ladislaus had a headache or that today was Ladislaus' birthday.

Ladislaus is just the son of the younger sister of His Excellency Andre Doria, a very marginal figure in this noble family.

Ladislaus's parents were married couples in love with each other, and his father was also an aristocrat, but he was just an illegitimate child. The previous head of the Doria family had several warlocks because of Ladislaus' paternal line, and at that time his father was only a child. 7th-level warlock, so reluctantly accepted their marriage.

It's a pity that Ladislaus' father finally stopped at the level of a 7th-level warlock, and there was no further improvement. If this power is placed on a commoner, it is very good, but it is definitely not worthy of the top wealthy Doria family in the Republic of Liguria. .

To make matters worse, after the grandfather died, the family changed the main branch, and the offspring were not allowed to use the surname of the family, so Ladislaus's surname is now Doria, and the father who was forced to change his name to Doria was not reconciled to this After spending the rest of his life, he went to the Holy Roman Empire to join the army, and finally died on the battlefield, and his mother also died in depression.

The same is true for Ladislaus himself. He was very talented when he was a teenager. He was already a level 7 warlock when he was ten years old, and he was able to use the powerful third-level arcane spell of Medis Strong Acid Breath.

At that time, Andre Doria adopted Ladislaus and placed great expectations on him, which made Ladislaus get top-level resources for a time.

It's a pity that the nightmare repeats itself. Like his father, Ladislaus is stuck at level 7. Today is his birthday. He still can't use level 4 arcane magic, because Andre Doria left, and no one even knows about his It's a birthday.

Ladislaus is a hardworking person, but the ability of a warlock is completely innate, or he has experienced many battles and has no other way to strengthen it. Whether to follow his father's path is also a question that Ladislaus has been hesitating recently.

Migraines and troubles left Ladislaus without appetite, he put down the butter soup, bowed to the two ladies, and was about to leave.

At this time, Mrs. Doria spoke: "Ladislaus, the Beruk family called back yesterday. If you are willing to accept a dowry of [-] talers, then Miss Beruk is of course honored to marry into the Doria family."

Ladislaus was startled: "Last week, didn't you say that the dowry should be [-] talers?"

"It's four thousand now, you should think about it carefully." Mrs. Doria said, and started drinking soup again.

As Ladislaus walked out of the courtyard, he heard the voices of his cousin Halna and his aunt.

"My cousin is also a warlock anyway, and he's pretty handsome, hehe, of course not counting his chin, why is the asking price so low?"

"What's the use of a level 7 warlock, and he has been level 7 for so many years, he must be the same as his dead ghost father, and he can't pass the dividing line of level 8. This election of the councilors made him lose face again. If it weren't for our Doria family , even the family of [-] thalers would not come out."

"Mom, how much dowry will I get when I get married, hehe."

"Don't worry, your father has already saved [-] talers for you, which will definitely make you worthy of a duke in northern Germany, or a family of Italian consuls."

Ladislaus had a terrible headache walking on the street, and four thousand thalers were still considered a huge sum of money. One thaler silver coin could buy 80-100 pounds of wheat in a good harvest year.

But this was not enough for Ladislaus, who took on large foreign debts in order to run for the republican seat.

For this failed election, Ladislaus owed about [-] taler debts. He originally thought that he was a member of the Doria family, and he could easily get a seat as a member of parliament.

Unexpectedly, his opponent in the election was a veteran congressman who desperately attacked his father's German blood and the birth of an illegitimate child, which made all Ladislaus' investment in vain.

Although his noble status kept his life out of danger, the feeling of being chased by the Church of Woking was still terrible. Ladislaus had hoped that the dowry from the Beruk family could get him out of the predicament, but now it was bleak.

His pocket money of fifty thalers a month was really useless.

Wandering aimlessly in the street, Ladislaus, who was worried about how to deal with Pastor Woking at the end of the month, was suddenly hugged by a bear.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen Ladislaus. Isn't it the end of the world if you lose the election? Why are you hiding from people all day long?"

<The wind is proud.

Because both parties are low-status figures in the family, they became friends with wine and meat.

"Okay, don't be so sad, let's go to Lasirise's store to see if there are any good things." Cesare said, ignoring Ladislaus's objection, he forcibly dragged him away.

As soon as he entered the store, Ladislaus yelled inwardly, "It's hard!" The proprietress Laciris was actually in the store today.

Laciris is a small ship owner who trades in the Black Continent, and Ladislaus often buys some Black Continent specialties through her.

Her mage husband, who was born as a commoner and established a career, stood on the side of the French during the last French invasion. Unfortunately, he died in the battle of the Swiss sweeping Milan, and his career was like a dream.

The most important property left behind is a few sailboats that can travel the Black Continent trade route in the calm Mediterranean Sea. Laciris is just over twenty-five years old now, she has bright eyes, white teeth, blond hair and blue eyes, and she has no figure. explain.

In order to keep the dhows and trade routes that were targeted by the wolves because of the death of the mage husband, she hooked up with high society.

Cesare Siebo is greedy for this top courtesan, and his status is barely enough.

It's just that the shipowner's wife hasn't let him eat meat yet, but she still hangs him, so as soon as she entered the shop, Laciris warmly greeted her.

But when she saw Ladislaus who came with her, the owner's wife immediately changed her face, "Are you here to pay the debt?"

Seeing Ladislaus' embarrassing smile, Laciris continued: "You still want to learn how to make strange things? You owe almost a hundred talers. My small shop can't let you credit any more. It's billed."

Ladislaus could only escape in embarrassment.

Laciris smiled at Cesare Sibo: "How are you doing, are you satisfied?"

"Hmph, this kid has been dominating a wanderer like me because he's a warlock, and he still wants to be a member of parliament. Pooh."

Although Cesare's sensuality is not satisfied for the time being, and she wants to hang him, Laciris is still willing to cooperate with the consul's young son to play with a down-and-out nobleman.

Ladislaus wandered all the way to the dock area in a daze. Because of the emperor's visit, the dock area was under martial law.

Ladislaus could only look at the emperor's ship from a distance—the battleship Holy Trinity, the symbol of national glory and strength, with more than a hundred trebuchets on the top floor and the same number of giant ballistas on the middle and lower floors.

Next to it, there are more than a dozen other giant ships, surrounding this majestic queen of the sea.

On the edge of the cordon, there are thousands of citizens of the Republic of Liguria watching their nominal monarch from a distance.

Just when Ladislaus was extremely confused and gloomy, a knight suddenly appeared in his sight.

For some reason, the crowded crowd left a hollow circle of nearly ten meters around Ladislaus.

This knight was extremely tall and mighty, more than two meters tall, and he was covered in steel armor so that his appearance could not be seen clearly, but he didn't know how he could approach him quietly while wearing this steel armor.

Of course, Ladislaus did not think about this issue at this time.

The knight stood in front of Ladislaus, completely covering Ladislaus' sight and suppressing his thinking. It seemed that the entire world of Ladislaus stopped functioning.

The knight took out a dagger from his arm and handed it upside down.

Ladislaus was completely attracted by the color of the dagger. It was a complete red, which seemed to be the red of hundreds of tons of blood condensed.

The dagger was full of fear and despair. Just looking at the dagger made the surrounding onlookers, some crying, some feces, and some running away.

It's just that Ladislaus didn't feel afraid at all, but felt unusually kind and moved, and instinctively took the dagger.

The moment he held the dagger, the world flooded, and Ladislaus understood that strange and vague dream.

Ladislaus is me, Li Di, Li Di is my Ladislaus.

Li Di came to "Night Without Winter".

As he thought about it, a grid appeared in his mind.

"Ladislaus-Doria"

force 8

Agile 12

Physique 9

Wisdom 12

Perception 10

Charm 13

For a level 7 warlock, Bai's experience progress bar has already been filled up, but unfortunately, the charm is only 13. No wonder he can't get the fourth level arcane, and can't cross the watershed of the level 8 warlock.

At this time, the bright red dagger was undergoing drastic changes, and a torrent rushed into Ladislaus' arm through the dagger, and then continued to expand to the whole body.

All the onlookers had fled in all directions at this time, otherwise they would have seen a terrible scene, Ladislaus's whole body was covered in squirming sticky blood.

The bloody smell that made others flee made Ladislaus feel sweet and delicious.

After Ladislaus, who was completely intoxicated by it, regained his vision again, he found that the dagger had completely lost its red color and turned into an almost transparent white color. When Ladislaus focused his eyes on it, "An invitation to a feast" appeared in Ladislaus' mind, and that was the name of the dagger.

Ladislaus couldn't see himself at this time, otherwise he would be surprised by his handsomeness. Although the outline was still recognizable, every detail was optimized to the extreme.

He just noticed that his charm had become 18, and Bai Se's experience progress bar was no longer full, but only a small half, but the eye-catching number became 9.

Ladislaus became a 4th-level sorcerer capable of using 9th-level arcane spells.

It's just that he didn't rush to test his new arcane skills, but looked around, but he couldn't see the knight again.

Ladislaus, holding the "Invitation to a Feast", understands that the first day of life is the day when each character starts the game, and this is the moment when the real background and legendary weapons are activated.

There were no knights or onlookers in sight, but a solemn old man and a group of soldiers.

This solemn and meticulous old man bowed to Ladislaus, and then said: "Your Excellency, the emperor invites you to come aboard."

This day is December 1520th, 12, after the birth of the first apostle of Cyric. The "night without winter" officially opened, and Ladislaus got all the memories and the "invitation letter to the feast".
