this mage is dangerous

After years of development, the Iolum family has grown to a point where two to three thousand people live around its castle in the countryside.

There is a small river to the east of the castle that separates the small village and the forest.

Local people call it the Agate River.

To the west of the river is a flat plain with an area of ​​more than 30 kilometers, which is the territory of the Iolum family. The land is fertile and the climate is pleasant. With the annual grain production, not only can we be self-sufficient, but we can also sell it to Seventon.

and maintain the expenses of the castle.

After all, it is close to the royal city, so the territory cannot be too big, but it is also one of the richest territories.

The reason why he was able to obtain this territory was Earl Iolum.

Forty years ago, humans were still learning magic from the elves of Erlan. Regardless of architectural patterns and cultural customs, they were all biased towards the elves!

Many reliefs and ornaments in the castle have a strong elven style.

Until seven Netherese discovered 100 scrolls in the ruins of Arivandar in the Far Horn Forest!

The scroll is entirely golden, and it records a brand new magic technique.

This is one of the biggest moments in Netheril's history!

That year, these seven humans were called "discoverers" by later generations. At that time, they did not know the significance of these discoveries.

When the discoverers were exploring the realm of ruins, there was an ancient ruin. There seemed to have been a race that lived on the walls as if they were walking on the ground. The chairs and the furniture they used told people that these animals had more than two legs.

Legs - probably many times this number!

The discoverers searched the dilapidated building inside and out, looking for something valuable to sell. But when they found the golden scroll, they realized that the value of what they found was far beyond what they could exchange for it.

The money was comparable. So he took the scrolls back to Netheril and let the spellcasters study them.

These 100 golden scrolls are actually divided into two sets of 50. One set looks much older and darker, and it records the production of magic props!

Later these golden scrolls were also called "Scrolls of Nese"!

A few years later, Netherese spellcasters discovered that the magic runes and techniques recorded on the scrolls were more suitable for human beings to perform and had more powerful magical power.

At this time, humans were no longer satisfied with the magic "given" by the elves, and hoped to master this magical power by themselves, so they quickly gave up on the magic taught by the elves!

A few years later, the spellcasters who mastered new magic had a new name!

Arcanist!

A carriage came slowly from the stone bridge over the Emerald River.

There is a strange moon-shaped logo printed on the carriage!

The welcoming team outside the castle was solemn, with flower flags planted on both sides of the road. Knights and guards put on bright equipment early and stood on both sides of the road. When the carriage passed by, they held high their 45° halberds.

Viscount Gordon and the knight captain stood at the city gate. The coachman drove skillfully through the middle, and the carriage stopped at the city gate.

Holding the handlebar with one hand, the person in the car stepped out in one step. Born, who was standing behind, finally saw this grandfather who had never been masked before.

A middle-aged man with slightly white hair, who looks very similar to Viscount Gordon. He is dressed in aristocratic clothing, has a well-proportioned and tall figure, and has a green stone floating on his head.

It was quite different from the old mage with a slovenly beard and a tree-root-shaped staff that Bon had imagined.

I can't help but feel a little disappointed...

Boyne didn't expect that his little distracted movements would also fall into the earl's eyes.

"Father, the banquet is ready."

Viscount Gordon stepped forward and said.

"good."

The count nodded and took the lead into the castle.

Next came the meal. Due to the count's arrival, the atmosphere was much more serious than usual.

Born had been hungry all morning and was already dizzy. Soon he couldn't hold it any longer and grabbed the food with his hands, stuffing the roasted meat into his mouth.

Seeing him devouring the meal, Ge Dunzi couldn't help but cover his face, and his usual dining etiquette was completely gone.

I took a sneak peek and found that the Count was eating food quietly, with an elegant posture and almost artistic behavior. He didn't care about Bone's eating appearance.

I couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, he put a lot of pressure on the earl, otherwise he wouldn't have left the prosperous royal city to go to the countryside.

When Boen was seventy percent full, he unconsciously began to use breathing methods to digest the food, and his palms became sweaty after a meal.

He looked up at Count Iolum, saw that he was looking at him, smiled at him and nodded, and then continued to eat elegantly.

After the banquet, Bowen was completely dizzy, and he didn't come back to his senses until he returned to the room.

"What's going on?"

Bao De was shocked and his back was wet. Not only was he thinking about all the messy things, but he also completely forgot about dining etiquette!

The caution I had cultivated over the past few years was immediately taken off my guard.

At this moment, the scene of a carriage crossing the bridge flashed in my mind!

"That's when."

Bowen thought back.

"It should be magic similar to [Mind Fog] and [Hypnosis], damn! You really shouldn't be careless."

"But I didn't expect that the breathing method could break the magic effect. It was an unexpected gain."

I am even more certain in my heart that the breathing method is indeed a practice method for monks!

In the setting of d&d, the monk is a master of unarmed combat. His 'qi' can not only strengthen his personal measurements, but also has the effect of 'breaking demons'. Basically, he can make most professionals of the same level cry without wearing any equipment.

!

Measurements: Strength, Agility, Constitution

It's rare to be able to beat a legend to the point of calling him daddy without being a legend.

Night is about to fall, and the sunset on the horizon is burning with fire clouds.

Castle study.

Boyne met Count Iolum again, with Viscount Gordon standing aside. Apparently his communication was not coordinated and his expression was not very good.

Bowen bowed obediently.

"grandfather."

Seeing that Bone was in a good mood, the count laughed a few times, walked over to Bone and took a serious look at him, and rubbed his head.

Bone hated people touching his head, and his favorability towards the earl instantly dropped to negative.

The Earl seemed to sense that he was unhappy, so he laughed loudly and hugged Bone directly.

Bone was confused.

Ever since he could walk, no one dared to hug him. Anyone who hugged him would be punched and kicked by him.

After looking at the opponent's fighting strength, Bo En was convinced...

For an old man who is over a hundred years old, it is not normal for him to hold his own grandson, so he should just try to make the old man happy.

"Little Bowen, I give this to you as a birthday gift to you."

The count took out a necklace.

The necklace is a yellow gemstone. Born has good eyesight and can see the brilliance flowing in the gemstone.

Magic jewelry!

Viscount Gordon also looked surprised, which seemed to be of great value.

"No." Bone turned his head and pointed at the green stone on the earl's head, "I want this!"

"Hahaha, this is not enough. Bone is still young. If you want to become an arcanist, my grandfather will give it to you."

"What is an arcanist?" Boyne tilted his head and asked with confusion.

"Arcanists are a symbol of wisdom. They are the most powerful group of people who have insight into all things in the world and pursue the truth." said the Earl.

"The most powerful? More powerful than God?"

Bone asked in a strange way, he was stunned, and Viscount Gordon beside him was also shocked.

The count paused, his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall, and his eyes seemed to emit a dazzling light, and said softly: "Yes."

Boen realized that he had said something inappropriate and quickly changed the subject. After a short communication, it was confirmed that the count did not notice anything unusual about him.

The stone hanging on my chest finally fell to the ground.

Now the drama queen is online!

Bone began to act silly and cute to see if he could get some good stuff from this cheap grandfather, and the earl's laughter could be heard from time to time in the study.

Not long after, the old butler Walker knocked on the door and came in.

"Sir, the party is ready and the guests are all here. It can begin."

"Yes." The count nodded.

The afternoon banquet was to welcome the count, and the evening party was to celebrate Boyne's birthday.

The social activities of the nobles were various banquets and dinners, and of course the names were very different. When the nobles in the surrounding countryside heard about the arrival of the Earl, they all came to celebrate Boyne's birthday. The Earl was the vice-president of Gilles College, and they all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

Make a familiar face in front of the count.

Bone scoffed, why haven't he seen anyone in the past few years?

The entire party was basically centered around the Earl and Viscount Gordon, thinking that mages were a group of people who were difficult to get in touch with. Unexpectedly, Earl Iolum was surprisingly easy to talk to, so they all went to build relationships.

Born didn't like such an occasion, so after showing his face, he sneaked back to the room.

Taking out the magic necklace, my keen mental power can feel that there is a powerful force in the necklace.

"Defensive magic?"

I don’t know if it’s permanent magic or one-time magic?

Born is not a spellcaster yet, so he can't feel what kind of magic is cast on the necklace!

But it was an unexpected surprise to get a magic item.

"Sure enough, you can't have your cake and eat it too, so you should lose your moral integrity..."
