My wizarding career begins on Earth
Chapter 276 Temptation and Kinship
Came to the palace prepared for him by the old emperor.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu He was slightly startled, stopped and stood there, frowning at the scene in the hall.
The hall was brightly lit by candlelight.
There were more than a dozen women standing in the middle, with a wide age range, some in their teens and some in their twenties.
But they have one thing in common, they are beautiful.
Moreover, the life force fields on their bodies are much stronger than those of ordinary people, and they are all knight attendants who have embarked on the path to transcendence.
These women's cheeks were blushing, and they were wearing tight-fitting knight uniforms or close-fitting leather armor that highlighted their figures, or light gauze skirts.
Lord Sauron, this is a gift specially prepared for you by His Majesty. Don't worry, they are all pure virgins.
The female officer smiled and stepped forward to approach Lu He. The two were so close that a faint fragrance suddenly came from them.
These women are specially trained to more conveniently take care of your daily life in the capital. When you are interested, they can also help you relax...
Lu He was speechless.
To be honest, he was tempted all the way.
From the knight-level female guard captain, to the plump female officer beside me, to these women in the hall.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to resist this temptation, because these women are not just beautiful on the surface.
Thank you Your Majesty for me. I won't accept the gift. I'm still young and my body is still growing. I can't bear it.
Lu He made some nonsense, made a joke, and walked out of the palace with the latter's stunned expression.
After finding Yerette and others who were being taken around the palace by the female captain Suraya, they boarded the carriage and drove down the mountain.
Lu He doesn't plan to live here anymore. The ubiquitous temptation tests him all the time.
He was going back to his home.
The Soros family also has property in the royal capital, but it is not in the city and the location is relatively remote.
The royal capital is mainly divided into three main urban areas.
The location where the palace is located is called Yunguang District, where most nobles and royal families live. Looking down from here, the black palace has undulating layers, towering spiers, and high walls like scales.
The Soros family's manor is located in the White Light District, which is dominated by trade and civilians, at the foot of the mountain.
Because the Thoros family is based in Highland City, they have not purchased many properties in the royal capital.
Led by Suraya, the carriage drove slowly along the cantilevered mountain road toward the foot of the mountain hidden in the clouds and mist.
After reaching the main road, the speed of the carriage became faster.
On both sides of the white road, patches of small buildings gradually appeared, and black double- and three-story buildings abounded.
Lu He turned sideways and looked out the window.
In a double-story building passing by on the opposite side, the second-floor window was open, and a middle-aged woman wearing a white headscarf was playing with a pot of purple flowers on the window sill.
There was a lot of noise and yelling on the street downstairs, and several men were struggling with each other, pushing and shouting.
Beyond the residential area, there is a series of connected three-story buildings, like a large commercial block with densely packed houses.
Although it was late, most shops were still open, and people came and went from time to time.
Lu He stared at the street scene outside the window, and the agreement reached with the old emperor in the study came to mind.
The agreement was simple. The old emperor would pay Lu He as much as he could help him.
If Lu He could clearly oppose the reform of the constitutional monarchy at the upcoming Imperial Parliament of Nobles.
Regardless of the final result, the old emperor allowed him to enter the royal treasury to select three treasures.
And if Lu He could single-handedly defeat the constitutionalists in the parliament and reverse the current unfavorable situation in one fell swoop, then the old emperor would allow him to choose ten treasures.
Obviously, the former is the old emperor's hope.
He was not optimistic about Lu He's strength and did not think that Lu He could compete with the Sword of Law, Hosiman.
The old emperor just hoped that a strong man of the same level would stand up against Hosiman, so that he could have a chance of survival.
After all, the Alex royal family still has a great influence among the nobility, especially among the traditional nobility.
It's just that in this extraordinary world where strength is paramount and power belongs to oneself, the influence of the strong is obviously greater.
But if Lu He stood up and opposed the constitutionalists with a clear-cut banner, he might really be able to turn things around.
Lu He was very clear about the old emperor's plans.
So he agreed immediately. Anyway, he had long been unhappy with Hossiman and would have to have a fight with him sooner or later.
As for the number of treasures to choose.
Lu He didn't care much about this. Anyway, as long as he went in, it wasn't him who had the final say on how many pieces to choose.
The carriage passed through the black neighborhood, reached the mountainside, and circled the cloud light area for half a circle. After passing through a checkpoint, the front suddenly opened up and came to a square.
There is something going on in the square. It's very lively.
Without stopping, the carriage drove around the square into a straight road on the opposite side and continued to drive down the mountain.
About half an hour later, finally, a small gray-white manor appeared in front of him.
In front of the manor is a small river, and an arched stone bridge at the entrance connects to the shore and spans the grass.
There was a black street lamp standing on the stone arch bridge. Two figures were standing on the bridge talking quietly. After seeing the carriage, the two people immediately stopped talking and hurried up to meet it.
Master, welcome home. One of them bowed respectfully to the carriage and saluted.
Lu He nodded through the car window.
Mark told him that the person who saluted was Keith, the person in charge of the Soros family's property in the royal capital.
The other person is Antoine, the manor's butler, and there are several maids and guards in the manor.
Because we knew in advance that he was coming, the manor was kept very clean and we could move in directly, saving a lot of effort.
…
late at night.
Lu He walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas. Instead of going to bed, he came to the study.
The warm yellow light swayed slightly.
The table lamps placed in the study are covered with a layer of white gauze curtains and placed in a cylindrical shape at the four corners of the study.
In the middle of the brown wooden floor, a long square wooden table was quietly placed in the center.
There are two chairs beside it, a wicker chair and a sofa chair. The tables and chairs are all brown.
Lu He sat down on the sofa chair, picked up a stack of manuscripts on the table, picked up a pen in one hand, and began to constantly revise, check and analyze the data of the experiment he had just done.
Lu He never thought that he would reach the top of the world just because he got the Eye of Inheritance.
There is endless knowledge in the Eye of Inheritance.
But it's not his. To become your own, you still need a little bit of learning and a little bit of practice.
He also doesn't think that he has extraordinary talents and is the kind of son of destiny who is favored by fate.
Being able to reach today step by step, Lu He feels that part of it is due to the Eye of Inheritance.
But his own efforts are also indispensable.
Just like a university library on earth, it also contains countless knowledge and points out the path to success, but in the end a few people learn useful things from it.
Being single-minded, eliminating distracting thoughts, finding the right direction and moving forward courageously are the key factors to success.
Geniuses often think quickly, and many problems and troubles are no problem in their hands.
In this way, they have experienced fewer hardships and obstacles than ordinary people, and their minds are not strong enough. When encountering any difficulties or temptations, they will naturally slack off and stop moving forward.
This is the reason why the tortoise and the hare race. In real life, the hare is often pulled into the grass by the female hare on the roadside.
If he chooses to stay at the palace tonight.
At this moment, he should be playing small games with more than a dozen beautiful knights, such as galloping horses, stacking Arhats, and counting beans.
It must be very refreshing.
But Lu He refused the temptation because he knew what he wanted and what he should do since he was a child.
Otherwise, he would not have walked step by step from a poor mountain ravine to a big city.
It was quiet in the study room late at night, except for the scratching sound of the pen tip rubbing against the draft paper.
Lu He kept checking the experimental data from his own practice in his mind, correcting some errors and omissions.
Some unclear or doubtful ambiguities are temporarily marked, waiting for subsequent experimental verification.
A large amount of knowledge and experimental data are constantly being refined, improved and deepened in his mind.
Eventually it became deeply embedded in his soul.
…………
Early next morning.
The golden morning sun shines on the foot of the mountain where the manor is located, and the gray-white walls, arch bridges and rivers turn golden and red.
Two luxurious and exquisite white carriages crossed the arch bridge and slowly stopped at the newly opened gate of the manor.
It was still early, and the outer carriage of the carriage was covered with fine dew. The coachman jumped out of the driver's seat with a long yawn and opened the door of the carriage.
Several men and women in gorgeous clothes got out of the car, and one could tell from the look of their brows that they were nobles.
Grandpa, why are we here so early? A beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old complained with a yawn.
The girl has smooth blond hair hanging on her shoulders, her skin is like snow, and her eyes are like sapphires without any impurities.
She wore a white shirt on her upper body and tight pale white trousers on her lower body, which tightly wrapped her slender legs, revealing her perfect waist and hip lines, and her whole body was full of youthful vitality.
Nini, if we didn't come earlier, we might have to queue up to see your cousin Zoro.
Fenris pointed at a blue carriage approaching in the morning mist across the river and smiled bitterly.
The man who spoke was in his twenties, a handsome man with the same blond hair, wearing a slim-fitting white samurai uniform.
Okay, let's go in. The old man in front of the two people spoke, exuding a touch of majesty.
The girl stuck out her tongue and walked towards the gate of the manor at the lead, looking extremely cute.
She arrived at the gate and was stopped by two guards before she could tell her name.
Who are you? This is the private estate of the Soros family. Please explain your purpose.
The guard's tone was a bit harsh, which felt offended for Nini, who was used to being held in the palm of her hand.
But before she could get angry, she was pulled behind her by her brother Fenris, who knew her temper well.
Hello, we are from the Hitler family, please help us inform you. Fenris smiled.
The Sirat family? Never heard of it. The guard thought for a moment doubtfully, then shook his head.
I'm sorry, you should go back. The housekeeper has ordered that the manor will not receive any guests today.
Fenris' face suddenly stiffened. This was the first time he met someone who didn't know the Sirat family in the royal capital.
And what does it mean not to receive any guests?
Could it be that he expected that many people would visit today, and cousin Zoro didn't want to be disturbed, so he deliberately closed the door.
But didn't he know that doing so would offend many important figures in the royal capital who came to visit him specially?
Not to mention how others would react, at least he felt offended now.
That's awesome! The girl couldn't help but complain.
The Sirat family? At this time, another guard next to the gate looked at them and asked.
Are you the family of the family head's mother, Mother Geri Thoros?
Yes, please help inform me.
Hearing the name Geli, the old man standing behind Fenris looked nostalgic.
Please wait a moment, I will go and inform you right away.
The guard nodded, winked at his companion, turned and walked quickly towards a villa in the manor.
After a while.
The butler Antoine who received the news hurried over and said with an apology on his face: Lord Count Blaise, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Please come with me.
It doesn't matter, we didn't notify you in advance. The old man smiled and his tone was kind.
Following Antoine, the three of them entered the manor and walked along the gravel path for a few minutes before arriving at the villa's reception hall.
Please wait a moment, the master of the house is still sleeping.
The apology on Antoine's face deepened.
The head of the family had told him not to wake him up even if the old emperor came unless Hosiman came to the door.
As an old man of the Soros family, he is well aware of the temperament of past family heads, not to mention that this generation of family head is still an eighteen-year-old boy, so he would never dare to call the family head.
Even if the person standing in front of me is the grandfather of the family head.
It doesn't matter, we came too early. The old man's expression remained as usual and he did not embarrass Antoine.
He had encountered a similar situation before, when he traveled thousands of miles to Highland City to visit his youngest daughter, Geli.
I was happy when I went there, but I came back angry after only one day.
An old man and two children sat down and waited in the hall.
They waited for more than an hour until the pale golden sun shone through the window into the hall.
And Nini was already lying on the sofa and fell asleep.
But she slept lightly, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps on the spiral staircase next to her.
She opened her eyes and raised her head blankly.
What caught his eye was an extremely eye-catching young man wearing purple and black pajamas.
The young man has short black hair and a faint golden flame mark between his eyebrows, which makes him look a little strange.
A pair of scarlet eyes are clear and deep, like mirrors that can reflect your own face.
Cousin Suo...long. Nini shouted subconsciously.
Well, hello. The other party showed a smile, and then looked away from her.
Lu He looked at the excited old man on the sofa and the handsome guy next to him who was staring at him motionless.
Fragments of memories deep in my mind emerged instantly.
Bryce Sirat is the biological father of the original owner Sauron's mother. In other words, he is the grandfather of Lu He's body.
After thinking about it, Lu He smiled.
