After Angel walked into the hall, Leon Rick greeted him, and while introducing himself, he invited Angel to take a seat.
Angel glanced at the guests, Cindia accepted the look with a smile, and Magda lowered her head slightly when Angel's eyes swept over.
Leon Rick pointed to the middle-aged lady in the right seat and introduced, "This is my wife, Cindia."
Then he pointed to Magda and sighed softly: "Magda, why are you lowering your head, you haven't come over and apologized to your lord."
After hearing that, Magda immediately stood up and shyly bowed to Angela: "Sir, it was me last time..."
Before Magda could finish speaking, Angel turned his eyes away and looked at Leon Rick: "Save some strength to speak, no need to apologize, the punishment has already been punished, and I will not pursue it."
Magda was stunned on the spot.
Although it didn't matter what he said, Angel ignored her the whole time, which made Magda's original emotional apology and apology turned into a flushed face.
- It's all suffocated.
Angel sat in the left-handed chief in a courteous manner, which was the most honorable guest seat in the traditional aristocratic etiquette apart from the host.
"I don't know what to call the adults?" After Leon Rick sat down, he began to speak carefully.
Angel originally wanted to reveal his real name, but looking back, since he used the code name on the magician's side, he just continued to use it: "Masque."
It's a very rude behavior to say a code name that you don't know without saying your name. But Leon Rick's expression froze, and he continued: "It turned out to be Lord Mask, Magda was too rude a few days ago, although the Lord said that he would not pursue it, but as a father, I still feel very uncomfortable, here I am. On behalf of the little girl, I solemnly apologize to the adults."
After all, Leon Rick poured wine and punished himself.
Angel didn't interrupt his apology this time, which made Magda, who was sitting beside him, feel a bit of grievance in her heart.
When Leon Rick finished his gesture, Angel said with a half-smile, "I accept your apology."
Angel's words made everyone stunned. Didn't you say you don't need to apologize? Why is he saying now that he has accepted the apology
It took a long time for Leon Rick to react. Angel was turning the corner and saying that he was a godless woman. He could ignore the rudeness of his daughter Magda with the attitude of not remembering the deeds of villains. The main reason why Geda is so rude - lax family education, Angel is actually a clear door.
Therefore, Magda's apology, he just didn't pursue it; and Leon Rick's apology, he apologized.
The people present were not fools, and Angel's subtext could be heard. Magda's eyes turned red, and she was about to say something when her thigh was held down by her mother, Cindia, who was sitting next to her. Cindia glanced at Magda with warning eyes, then turned her head back with a smile on her face.
"Hey, it's all my fault that I have no way to teach my daughter. I have only one child, Magda, and I'm used to being arrogant. From now on, I will ask the strictest etiquette officer to teach her. In the next six months, I will be strict. Take care of Magda until she transforms from the inside out."
What Leon Rick said was like a grounding order, which made Magda, who was eager to live freely, want to argue immediately, but Sindia held her down under the table, and Magda could only be wronged in the end. Nod.
"This topic ends here. You invited me to come, shouldn't it be just for this matter?" Angel didn't have time to waste time on family dramas.
While speaking, Angel picked up the delicate cup on the table, and Li Onric immediately signaled the wine waiter next to him with his eyes to mix the wine, but Angel stopped the waiter, and a magic power was sent out from the in-body model.
With a gentle shake, the cup is filled with water.
"Wine interferes with emotions and disturbs thinking. I prefer to drink plain water than wine." In fact, what Angel wanted to say was "tea is my favorite drink", but he was afraid that as soon as he said it, Leon Rick was really It's time for tea. But he was referring to milk tea, not the quirky fermented tea that ordinary nobles love to drink.
Angel's wonderful method of "creating something out of nothing" shocked everyone present.
After a long while, Li Onrik came back to his senses and forced himself to calm down: "I invited you to come, mainly to apologize, and there are some small things I want to ask the adults."
Angel raised his eyes, didn't say anything, just motioned for Leon Rick to continue.
Leon Rick did not speak immediately, but motioned for Cindia to leave with Magda. Then he sent away all the people in the hall, leaving only the butler to serve.
"I just wanted to know, is Master Mask a legendary... wizard?"
Angle paused. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Leon Rick if he knew about some wizards. Unexpectedly, before he asked, Leon Rick had already asked.
"Of course, it's okay for adults not to answer. It's just my curiosity." Li Onric added immediately after seeing Angel's figure, for fear that the other party would be unhappy.
Angel smiled lightly: "Of course you can answer, but before answering, I want to know, where did the earl learn about the wizard?"
Leon Rick has no doubts about this issue: "My family has lasted for nearly 900 years and has recorded many secrets. Among them, there are things about wizards, but I used to regard them as legends."
Angel: "Can you show me the information you mentioned?"
Li Enrique was stunned for a while, with a hesitant expression on his face. The family secrets involved a lot of things, some of which were too dirty, and some even talked about the secrets of the royal court and showed it to an outsider... He couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing this, Angel said calmly, "I am indeed a wizard."
Angel did not explain the difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice, for ordinary people, it was the same anyway.
Hearing Angel's answer, Leon Rick's eyes were filled with clarity and a hint of fear. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "I didn't expect that there are really wizards in the world, and the rumors turned out to be true."
"The world of wizards will not intersect with the world of ordinary people. Generally speaking, wizards will not disturb the lives of ordinary people." What Angel did not explain is that the reason why wizards do not disturb the lives of ordinary people is purely because Because the power gap is too great. Have you ever seen someone inexplicably hostile to ants? The magnitudes are different, so even the most evil wizards are too lazy to mix in the lives of mortals.
Li Enrique was silent for a while: "Master Mask, the secrets of the Griffin family are usually kept by the head of the family, and according to the rules of the family, outsiders are not allowed to watch."
"If you must see it, I can take it out." Leon Rick said this, and carefully said the next sentence that made him extremely uneasy: "However, can I ask you one thing?"
With a family secret, ask a wizard for one thing. Li Enrique himself felt that this was extremely unreasonable. It was like a person who took a fancy to the ball pushed by the dung beetle. If he wanted to take it away, would he ask the dung beetle to agree
Leon Rick's heart was up and down, and he was uneasy.
Angel did not answer for a long time, and Li Onric wanted to give up, and directly took out the scroll that recorded the secret to ask Angel for forgiveness.
But at this moment, Angel spoke: "I can give you a chance to express your request."
Angel didn't say he agreed, nor did he disagree. Leon Rick's careful request made him seem to see himself not long ago, when he and Red Lotus were in such an unequal position.
He understood the apprehension, but it wasn't enough to "agree" to the answer.
At most, Angel gave Leon Rick a chance to express himself with empathy. As for whether to answer or not, that is another story.
Although Angel did not agree, Leon Rick was still very pleasantly surprised and hurriedly expressed his request.
"I want to ask the adults, not for myself." Leon Rick sighed: "Don't look at the beauty of Waterglass, but as the actual manager of Waterglass, I know that there are still too many things in this city. There are so many places that I can't reach. The things I want are things that I can't reach or even have a solution to."
"You mean the gray forces? Baal?" Angel raised his eyebrows.
"No, no city is completely clean. There is white and black, so Baal's existence is not my concern."
"Then you mean... a magician?"
Leon Rick shook his head: "As for the magician, I don't dare or have the right to ask adults to help us. What I'm talking about is actually a strange thing that ordinary people can't solve, maybe adults can solve it."
"Strange things that ordinary people can't solve?" Anger raised a little curiosity in his heart.
"This matter has to start from a year ago..."
A year ago, a man in Waterglass suddenly had a strange disease. After he was sent to the Golden Cross Medical School, he had no symptoms at first, but at the back, his body began to weaken. At first, he could not move. Unable to speak, his eyes were dull, and in the end he looked like a living dead. Obviously there are still signs, the basic physiological stress is still there, but the whole reaction is a dead person.
Since that strange disease appeared a year ago, there have been more than 100 cases so far.
"All the professors at the Golden Cross Medical School moved, and even some family members volunteered to donate a 'living dead' for a vivisection, but the final result of the autopsy was still no problem."
"So, I want to ask the adults to take a look, can I?"
This request made Angel a little surprised. Leon Rick said for a long time that the request is not for himself, but for the people. If there is no strangeness in the middle, it seems that the earl of Leon Rick is a clear stream among the nobles.
Angel had basically no concept of healing. Although he knows a little bit of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, all he learns is theory, and clinical practice can only be guessed. But he is not stage fright, anyway, he does not necessarily have to agree to this condition.
"What is the specific basis for the strange disease you speak of?"
Li Enrique: "I didn't expect the adults to grasp the key point so quickly. The reason why I judged it to be a strange disease is because of the initial symptoms..."
"These hundreds of patients all have one thing in common."
- They all lost their shadows.
