Chapter 759: Abnormal throbbing

 For the magician family, building a magic workshop is very necessary. After purchasing this spiritual vein through the clock tower, the Fulvig family also did the same. To use an analogy in construction terms, they need to first fix the spiritual veins like laying a foundation, so that the power of the spiritual veins can be easily introduced into the magic workshop. Then the workshop can be strengthened and used through the spiritual veins.

 However, the result is that this first step is stuck.

Originally, spiritual veins flow from top to bottom like a river, and the construction of a magician's workshop is like building a dam downstream of the river, intercepting the spiritual veins and allowing them to be used by one's own magic workshop. Of course, the stronger the spiritual vein, the stronger the power. The spiritual veins purchased by the Fulvig family are at most as strong as a small river.

Then the question came. When the Fulwig family built the dam and planned to store water, they discovered - where is the water?

 It was obviously flowing downwards, but why was it missing?

 Co-authored this dam to build a loneliness?

 At first, the people of the Fulvig family thought that they were not good enough and had built it in the wrong place. After all, the spiritual vein was not a real, tangible river, but more like Feng Shui. In fact, it is not uncommon for low-level Feng Shui masters to misunderstand Feng Shui. So they asked Fiore who was in the clock tower to come back and have a look, so Fiore also went.

 As a result, she found...

“That spiritual vein has already been used by someone, and the other party also concealed the fact that it was used.”

 According to Fiore, after she went back and looked carefully, Fiore discovered that the reason why the power of the spiritual veins had not been accumulated was because the power of the spiritual veins had been occupied by others. The spiritual veins they mistakenly thought were actually just illusions created by the opponent using a certain method. To put it bluntly, there was the aura of the spiritual veins, but no power of the spiritual veins - this was indeed enough to deceive ordinary magicians.

Fiore is naturally very dissatisfied with this. Generally speaking, there can only be one branch owner of the spiritual vein. It is like buying a house through a real estate company and when you plan to decorate it, you find that there are already people living in it. Can you bear it?

So Fiore came to the door and wanted to negotiate with the other party. In Fiore's opinion, this should be the work of a wandering magician or a wanted magician. Only such magicians would secretly do this kind of thing because they don't have enough money to buy spiritual veins. nest means. Although the Fulvig family has declined, it is still considered a second-rate family in the magic world, not to mention that they purchased the spiritual veins through the regular channels of the Magic Association. As long as they protest, the other party will probably give up.

The land where the spiritual veins are stored is located in a nearby town, but when Fiore entered, she discovered that this town was very unusual.

You must know that we are now a civilized society. Although magicians have always been retro, most magicians have also used electrical products such as mobile phones, lights, TVs, and computers.

However, that small town... still feels like living in the Middle Ages. People there travel by horse-drawn carriages, and their homes still use oil lamps. There are not even any signs of modern civilization.

Of course, this doesn’t mean anything. Even in modern society, it is normal for isolated towns and villages to be primitive and backward. However, after Fiore entered, she found that she had lost her way, or in other words, she could not find the magician based on the breath of her spiritual veins.

Not only that, that night, Fiore and others were attacked by residents of the town.

It was an attack without warning. At that time, Fiore and others were still discussing how to find the magician in the hotel in the town. As a result, they saw blazing fire outside, and then they found that the entire town was surrounding them with torches. Stayed at a hotel and tried to capture and kill her.

As a magician, Fiore was naturally not afraid of these ordinary people. She originally wanted to have a good talk with them, but instead these people seemed to be stimulated and rushed over like crazy. Since magicians need to be secretive, Fiore did not dare to do anything in public and had to flee the town.

Fiore, who escaped from the town, became more and more angry as she thought about it. After all, she was also the patriarch of a magic family, and she was just kicked out by a group of people?

So she came to the door again the next day, wanting to talk to the mayor of the town.

As a result, Fiore was surprised to find that the residents of the town who were looking ferocious and holding torches to chase her last night were now greeting her as if they were nothing, as if they didn't know her at all.

Fiore was not a fool. She immediately realized that it was very likely that the entire town was the magician's workshop. The moment she stepped into the town, she was entering the magician's workshop.

So Fiore decisively chose to retreat - entering other magicians' workshops unprepared was almost the same as committing suicide. Then she sent people to sneak into the town, arrested the mayor of the town, and wanted to ask about the situation. . However, in the face of Fiore's inquiry, the town mayor insisted that he knew nothing about it, and then...his whole person turned into ashes in front of Fiore.

That's right, it was not burned to ashes, but the struggling mayor suddenly stopped moving, and then the "color" on his body quickly disappeared, turning into something like a clay doll, and then the whole person completely It collapsed and turned into a pile of sand.

This directly frightened Fiore.

Indeed, in myths and legends, there is a saying that gods can mold clay into humans, but that also means they are gods. If a magician can do such a thing, it is definitely not a magician that Fiore can deal with, let alone She was also worried that she had offended the other party by doing so, so she hurriedly came to seek help.

 “Human being turned into clay?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

 “Did you bring it?”

 “Ah, it’s...”

Fiore raised her hands and handed over a bag. Duanmuhuai reached out and took the bag and opened it. Sure enough, she saw something like clay placed inside.

"………Um?"

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and took out the clay, then frowned slightly. Because the moment he touched the clay, he felt a touch of divinity contained in it. Although it was very weak and might not be detectable by ordinary people, as a god, Duanmu Huai certainly would not be surprised by such aura.

 But, do gods still exist in this era?

This is not Faerûn, the gods have long become legends.

Hmm...it seems interesting.

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and looked at Fiore.

 “I’ll take care of it.”

 That’s what Duanmuhuai said and what he did.

“Indeed, the clay has a rather peculiar divine aura.”

Lying on Duanmu Huai's chest, Medea raised her head curiously, with a bit of blush on her fair face. Her long purple hair, which was usually tied into a ponytail, spread out and covered their bodies.

 “Are you interested in this?”

Duanmuhuai reached out and stroked Medea's head gently, and at the same time touched her pointed ears, while the latter narrowed her eyes comfortably like a cat.

“Of course, MASTER. The mystery of this era has declined, but the whims of magicians are really interesting. It does interest me to see the legacy of magic still exuding vitality in an era of declining mystery.”

"I'm also very interested in this matter." At this moment, Duanmu Huai felt a hot and soft touch coming from his arm. He turned around and saw Irisviel raising her body, curious. Looking at myself.

"Then let's go together. After all, we will be idle."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai sat up. At this moment, the morning sunlight was already shining in from the window.

 “Okay, let’s get ready.”

 “Yes, MASTER.”

When Duanmuhuai changed clothes and walked to the restaurant with Medea and Irisviel, he saw the two people who had been waiting here.

 “Ah, brother, good morning.”

Sakura saw Duanmuhuai and hurriedly said hello, while Lorena next to her also waved her hand.

 “Good morning, Lord Knight.”

"morning."

Duanmu Huai nodded to the two of them. Every morning Lorena would take Sakura for morning exercises, so it was not surprising that they would appear here.

“Oh, good morning, brother. Every time I see my brother holding flowers in both hands, I can’t help but make people jealous. Did you have another pleasant night last night?”

At the same time, Lenis also walked into the restaurant with a giggle, looked at Duanmu Huai, Medea and Irisviel standing behind him and said.

 “Children shouldn’t talk about these things early in the morning, you are still young.”

Duanmuhuai glared at Lenis, but the latter didn't take it seriously. As Lenis said, the relationship between Duanmuhuai, Medea and Irisviel has gone beyond normal this year. This is normal. As Irisviel said, they are servants. , and connected to the Master, then they are almost like a couple.

 In this case, it is natural for both parties to do some things between husband and wife, right?

Even Duanmuhuai has to admit that the charm of the two people is indeed irresistible. The innocent and lovely Medea has the unique playfulness and joy of a girl, while Irisviel's curvy figure is even more fascinating. No matter from any angle, both of them are rare beauties.

More importantly, the two of them are servants, heroic spirits, and familiars. At least...well, you don't have to worry about accidentally killing someone, right?

 Various aspects.

 “Brother is really like an old antique in this regard.”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Lenis curled her lips and sat next to Sakura. Then Duanmuhuai, Medea and Irisviel also sat down, and then a maid came forward to serve breakfast. Duanmu Huai also explained his arrangement while eating breakfast.

“Today, I will go to the territory of Falwege with Medea and Irisviel. I will temporarily suspend classes for a week. Lenis, you go and explain to the others.”

 “Going to Falwege’s territory?”

“I heard from Fiore that there seems to be some interesting problems with the spiritual veins there, and we plan to go and have a look.”

 “Ah, that’s it……”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s answer, Lenis suddenly understood and nodded as if she understood something.

"I see. Indeed, although Fiore's health is not very good, her pitiful frailty and purity can easily arouse the interest of men. Moreover, as a vassal of El-Melloi, the Fulvig family has Brother, it’s understandable that you treat the clan leader as your mistress...it hurts so much!”

However, before Lenis could finish her words, she was slapped on the head by Duanmuhuai.

　　"Stop talking about these things, teach Sakura what to do."

“This is also the only way for a magician...”

Lenice defended helplessly while holding her head.

But Lenis was right. After joining the Clock Tower, Duanmuhuai also came into contact with many insider secrets in the magician circle, some of which opened his eyes. For example, there is no requirement for a magician to marry a wife. Like the muscular man Duanmu Huai saw during the title decision, who looked more like a boxer than a magician, and the top of the democrats, Mag Daniel Te. Lord Lamberio Elrod is rumored to have more than a dozen mistresses and dozens of children. This kind of thing seems to be very common in the world of magicians.

After all, for many weak magician families, if they can introduce the bloodline of a powerful magician, then maybe a descendant of a magician with strong qualifications will be born. This is naturally a gain for them. .

By the way, this is most of the reason why Duanmu Huai is popular in the Clock Tower. Although his appearance is not the kind of pretty boy who can attract women, there are even rumors that due to Duanmu Huai's powerful power, His bloodline is the reason why Caster Medea was summoned, so there are many people who are eager to introduce Duanmuhuai into their family's bloodline.

 But they didn't take action.

This is not because of fear of Duanmuhuai, to say the least...

 It’s just that the legend of Medea is too scary.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai looked at Medea who was having breakfast next to him. He had also read the legend of Medea, but in Duanmuhuai's view, wasn't the idiot Cupid the culprit? If he hadn't put a curse on Medea, Medea wouldn't have followed Jason wholeheartedly, right? At least now, in the days when he gets along with Medea, Duanmu Huai does not feel that she is the kind of possessive person in the legend, and he gets along very well with Irisviel.

　What is this kind of thing called? What kind of sisters are they?

 Forget it, whatever happens is fine.

 Duanmu Huai retracted his thoughts and looked at the breakfast in front of him again. Although he didn't want to say it,...for Duanmu Huai, this was his biggest dissatisfaction.

 “Do we have to have fish and chips every morning?”
