Du Wei thought for a while.
Du Wei had heard of the Marquise Liszt. This marquise is not a hereditary title, but a lifetime title. Such a title can only be owned by the person himself while he is alive, and cannot be inherited by future generations.
The Marquise Liszt was originally a widow, and her husband was the younger uncle of the current emperor Augustine VI, a duke. However, what is subtle is that the Duke is ten years younger than His Majesty the Emperor... In a huge royal family, this phenomenon is not surprising.
Mrs. Liszt was born in a family of a famous maritime trade merchant in the empire. She was beautiful and beautiful since she was a child. At the age of fifteen, she married His Majesty's uncle, the Duke in his forties. Unfortunately, at the age of twenty-two, she became a widow.
The duke was too weak, and he was called by the Lord before he was fifty years old. After the Duke's death, His Majesty the Emperor bestowed on the poor widow a court title... Marquise. According to the imperial decree, this lifelong title cannot be hereditary.
Afterwards, there have been rumors that His Majesty the Emperor Augustine VI had somewhat inappropriate thoughts about this young and beautiful aunt. A few years ago, when such rumors became more and more serious, as a result, the 30-year-old Marquis moved out of the imperial capital, and lived alone in an ancestral house in the northern province of Aileng, to avoid the crowds of the imperial capital. Disturbing gossip.
After becoming a widow, the Marchioness resumed her maiden name, Liszt. And the wealth of the Marquise Liszt is quite famous in the aristocratic circle of the empire!
Although she could not inherit the title of the dead duke, the dead duke had no heirs, but left a large amount of inheritance to the young wife. Moreover, Mrs. Liszt's father, the giant merchant in maritime trade, also left his daughter an amazing wealth!
Even in the aristocratic circle, this lady has an unsightly nickname: the richest widow in the empire.
This is all the information about Marquise Liszt that Du Wei knows.
"Oh, Marquise Liszt. I've heard of this lady's name." Du Wei asked in a casual tone as much as possible, "May I take the liberty to ask, dear Marquis, what strange disease did she suffer from? "
When this question was mentioned, Dardanelle and the others immediately showed extremely indignant expressions, and it was Dardanelle who spoke: "Oh, this matter is simply a great shame to the Liszt family!"
Still, he told the truth.
The thirty-three-year-old Marquis, as if a bright woman, especially favored this woman, giving her an unimaginable youthful beauty. Although Du Wei has never met this lady, he has heard of her famous name.
Legend has it that this marquise has delicate skin that is unmatched by young girls. Her skin is as delicate and smooth as milk, her eyes are as beautiful as sapphires, and her hair is as dazzling as the golden sun shining on the water of the Lancang Canal in summer... It seems that the years can't leave any traces on her body!
Such a woman had fascinated a large number of nobles when she was in the imperial capital. No wonder even His Majesty the Emperor became interested in her.
In order to avoid scandals, the Marquis returned to her hometown to live in seclusion, but she still couldn't avoid the troubles brought by her beauty. Just two months ago, when the Marquise was outing in the countryside with her entourage as usual, she met a disciple.
To be precise... that apprentice is an old bastard!
According to Dardanelle's description, the old guy was wearing a green robe and holding a green flute in his hand. When he saw the Marchioness, his eyes lit up immediately, and he came forward to pester her, not only using Very frivolous words to praise the beauty of the Marchioness, and also asked to play a song for the Marchioness.
At that time, this bad behavior made the Marquis' followers very angry. In the hearts of the followers, the beautiful Marquis is as noble as a goddess...
"If it weren't for the style of that old guy's robe, he looks a bit like a magician... We went to throw that old bastard into the river in the morning!" Dardanelle cursed.
"Magician?" Du Wei frowned.
"No, I don't think he is a magician." Dardanelle shook his head, "That robe looks very similar. But I have never seen a magician in a green robe. Mr. Harry Potter, you are a magician." Master... Excuse me, among the mage levels of the Magic Union, which level of mage wears green robes? It seems that there is no one at all!"
After a pause, Dardanelle continued to explain: "It's not because we suspected that he was a magician that we didn't dare to teach that guy. It's really Madam who is merciful. You know, there were people who went out with Madam that day, and there were people from Guangming. A holy knight in the temple, a real great knight, Lord Gofeet! Lord Gofeet is a great knight, and his martial arts are well-known in the imperial capital. That time was to thank the Marquis for her dedication to the temple. A huge sum of money was donated and I came here on behalf of the temple to express my gratitude. With Lord Gofeet by his side, let alone that fake magician, even a real magician, Lord Gofeet can clean up. "
Du Wei didn't say anything about this.
The great knight is already a top figure in the knight circle, and he is also a holy knight of the Temple of Light! Du Wei knew that the holy knights of the Temple of Light were stronger than ordinary knights. Because the weapons and equipment on those holy knights are all blessed by the magic of the light department, and have some special effects. Even some high-level holy knights can use some magic!
A great knight, who is also a high-level holy knight, has a chance of winning against an ordinary magician.
"The Marquis is kind-hearted, and she didn't make things difficult for that guy, but that guy kept pestering her... As a result..."
It turned out to be very simple.
That Gofet was obviously a proud guy. As a knight, he saw a stunningly beautiful noble lady being molested under his own eyes. Of course, his chivalry had to be put to good use.
As a result, Mr. Knight took the initiative to "teach" the fake magician in the green robe.
It's just that according to Dardanelle's description, it seems that the knight didn't take advantage of it. Because the fake magician escapes very quickly.
However, before leaving, the fake magician who couldn't moleste him sternly said: "If you offend me, you will have no good results. Wait for my curse! You are beautiful, but I will let you die!" The beauty freezes forever...like a stone!"
Speaking of this, Dardanelle's face was gloomy: "Although that guy doesn't look like a magician, his curse seems to be real."
Three days later, the Marchioness fell ill. Some of the skin on her body began to harden, petrifying bit by bit! First a small part, then gradually spread...
The members of the Liszt family panicked. They searched all the doctors to no avail. Finally, with the answer of a magic pharmacist, they found hope: it might be a petrification curse. It's not an ordinary petrification technique, even magicians can't lift it.
To lift this curse, unless the person who cast the curse personally casts the spell. or…
"Or, go to the frozen forest and look for a monster called the golden-eyed python, and take off its eyes and bring it back. It should also be useful." Dardanelle said with a determined face: "The Marquise is the goddess of the Lister family. !Every honorary knight of the Marchioness would die for her! So here we are."
Du Wei sighed, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface!
Curse? Is it a curse technique? !
It seems that this Dardanelle really doesn't know much about magic!
That guy in the green robe must be a magician! And also a very powerful magician!
Curse is a very advanced spell in magic! Even some high-level magicians can't learn things in a lifetime!
Du Wei thought for a while, and looked around. The old magician didn't know where he went. However, Du Wei believed that if he wanted to go home, he would most likely be arrested.
Because the old guy said before he left that he would come back to find himself! Then don't even think about running away...
"Okay." Du Wei sighed: "It happens that I'm also going to look around in the frozen forest, why don't I stay with you. Maybe I can help."
He said so on the lips, but he was thinking in his heart: "That old guy must be watching me in secret. With him around, I don't think there will be any danger."
The medicine Du Wei gave Dardanelle was very effective, and soon, under the urging of the magic potion, the wound muscles on Dardanelle's leg began to heal, and the squirming growth of the granulation visible to the naked eye was amazing. .
But the scimitar warrior was not so lucky. The venom of the rotting corpse can only be removed by going to the temple and using the magic of the light department. Continue to look for the golden-eyed python.
The other two wounded left to go back.
Next, Du Wei did something that made the members of the Liszt family very strange: he took out an empty bottle from the baggage, then walked to the charred corpse of the rotting corpse, and carefully collected The venom from some ghouls was bottled.
These venoms with decaying and corrosive effects may be useful in the future, Du Wei thought.
