From the outside, it seemed that after Valerius's family ran into trouble, they urgently needed help from Xavier's family, so this marriage was actually a political marriage, and Licinius was the son-in-law who came to live with the family.
There is a high probability that you will be given the cold shoulder.
However, in the eyes of those in the know, the Xavier family still hides many dangerous secrets. It is not as simple as just being given the cold shoulder. It is very likely that even one's life may be in danger.
Otherwise, the Xavier family would not want nothing.
He has to come when he is called.
At this moment, the lights in Xavier's castle suddenly lit up and the door opened.
Young and beautiful maids swarmed out and lined up on both sides.
Every maid here wears a black and white maid skirt, black stockings and high heels.
The skirt is designed to be very short.
A black-haired woman in a crimson dress came over, elegant and calm, with a smile on her face: "Master Valerius Licinius, welcome to the Xavier family."
Claudia followed the woman and said with a smile, "This is my mother, the current head of the Xavier Family, Aura Xavier. You can call her Madam Aura."
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her light blue dress also swayed in the wind, like a flower blooming in the evening breeze. Under the hem of her skirt were a pair of beautiful white silk legs wearing silver high heels.
very beautiful…
The maids bowed and revealed the abyss of their breasts.
At the same time, other members of the Xavier family were also in the manor, bowing slightly.
"Okay, Mrs. Ola, thank you for your hospitality."
Licinius bowed slightly and glanced at all the members of Xavier's family.
He had met Lady Aura before, when the Congress was held in the ancient city of Hera.
As for Claudia, this was the third time we met and we were not very familiar with each other.
The others were all women, and they were all beautiful women.
There are no men at all.
In addition, there was a young girl in the crowd who was staring at him with an almost resentful and cruel look. If looks could kill, he would have died many times.
Augurola's voice sounded again: "Interesting, just a moment ago, the Xavier family activated a powerful alchemical barrier, and the three-kilometer radius of the manor has been blocked. There are also complex, multiple powerful barriers in the manor. What is this for?"
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Licinius walked into the manor without changing his expression.
Madam Aura seemed to be worried, and she deliberately used an elegant and calm smile to cover it up. She asked, "This should be Miss Novia, right? She is the most famous genius of the younger generation in the capital. I heard about her from your father a long time ago. She is so young, but she is already at the fifth level."
Novia politely replied, "Mrs. Aura, you are joking. It was just a fluke."
She also felt the barrier activated and inadvertently tightened the iron box in her hand.
Mrs. Ora glanced at her iron box, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
He immediately returned to normal and looked at the petite girl on the other side: "Is this the young lady from the Frostian family? I heard that she grew up with Master Licinius and they are very close."
Noren nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Mrs. Ola didn't care and led them to visit the manor and enter the castle.
It's like a warm-hearted elder entertaining the younger generations.
Claudia and other family members began to prepare for the dinner.
"Why are there no men in the Xavier family?"
Licinius asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Where is Mr. Bakar, the King of Swords?"
Noren didn't react yet.
But Novia suddenly became nervous and asked, "Why are you bringing up such irrelevant issues?"
Mrs. Ora's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and she smiled and said, "My husband is not in good health, so it is inconvenient for him to come out to receive you. Besides, his appearance is really unappetizing."
"No, no, I think Mr. Bakar is very amiable, and judging from the strength he showed this afternoon, he doesn't look like he's in poor health at all." Li Xini smiled slightly, looked at the portraits on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and immediately narrowed his eyes.
One of the paintings showed an inverted cross, which was something he was very concerned about.
There is also a painting showing a priest singing hymns in the moonlight while the dead revel around him.
The last and most special portrait.
In the huge coffin, the man slept peacefully with his hands clasped together.
The women surrounded him, dancing strangely.
"Are these paintings of yours?"
Madam Ora smiled and said, "Master Li Xini should have heard of the background of the Xavier family, right?"
Licinius hummed, "It's just that the Xavier family rarely participates in battles between warlocks, and never displays their unique composite magic, so no one knows the specific background of the Xavier family."
“That’s right.”
Lady Ora smiled and said, "But you will know it tonight, Master Licinius."
Li Xini narrowed his eyes, and always felt that the lady's smile was becoming more mysterious and profound.
As expected, Baime-chan's divination is never wrong.
The clues about the corpse-eating ritualists are in the royal capital.
No, it’s in the Xavier family!
"What are they going to do? Make me into a corpse?"
Licinius raised an eyebrow.
That is at this moment.
Augurola's voice echoed in his mind: "Be careful, there is danger."
Licinius narrowed his eyes.
A dim golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Are you so impatient to start
At this moment, a hint of viciousness flashed in Mrs. Ola's eyes, and she bowed slightly.
"Master Licinius, please wait a moment."
o
o
A bedroom in the castle.
"I can't accept it. Why can Claudia accept such a good gift? Is it because she is the daughter of the patriarch? She can have such an excellent and powerful man, but I can only, can only marry a rubbish, hopeless, 27-year-old fourth-level warlock?"
A young girl sat by the bed, muttering to herself, her eyes full of resentment and viciousness, her face distorted.
In front of her, there is a blank drawing board.
She held a paintbrush in her hand, and it was trembling slightly, perhaps out of excitement or fear.
"Vera, are you really going to do this?"
A middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor sighed and said, "If the head of the family finds out, you will probably be executed on the spot. You are stealing the family's holy relics, and targeting the family's guests."
Vera said to God in hatred, "Mother, if I don't do this, my life will be ruined!"
The middle-aged woman advised: "Have you thought about the cost of using the Despair Sketchpad?"
"Well, if I can't have it, Claudia can't have it either!"
Vera picked up the paintbrush and scribbled frantically on the drawing board: "As long as I'm here, they won't be able to sign a contract!"
Relic o Despair Sketchpad.
There was once a sorcerer who was called a madman. He loved art and painting, but was never understood by others. He suffered from illness and hardship throughout his life and finally committed suicide.
After his death, his art was finally discovered and regarded as a treasure.
As for his soul, it was integrated into the drawing board.
Curse everyone who is painted on the drawing board to be unhappy for the rest of their lives.
"Die, die! Die all of you!"
Vera used the paintbrush frantically, smearing paint on the canvas.
The appearance of the silver-haired boy gradually became clearer as the paint was splashed.
At the same time, countless resentful roars seemed to be heard from the darkness.
Yet there was a moment.
Snap…
The brush broke...
The hair at the tip of the pen suddenly withered.
The roar that echoed in the darkness turned into a faint murmur.
At this moment, the world fell into silence.
The moonlight outside the window disappeared without a trace, and dark clouds were approaching like a monster.
Swallowed the castle.
The bedroom was dark.
"ah!"
Vera let out a cry of horror.
The middle-aged woman also looked horrified and subconsciously grabbed her daughter's shoulders, wanting to take her away.
However, Vera stood there stiffly like a corpse.
Before the middle-aged woman realized what was happening, she glanced at the drawing board inadvertently.
boom!
It was as if the world collapsed.
The silver-haired boy in the drawing board had changed his appearance at some point.
That handsome face turned into a huge, hideous face without any facial features.
A huge golden face roared silently under the dark clouds!
The mother and daughter were trembling all over, and their bodies glowed with golden light, as if they were beginning to collapse and melt.
boom!
The door was kicked open.
"You bastards! How many times have I told you this? How dare you? How dare you!"
Mrs. Orla strode in with a basin of dark ink, which she splashed on the drawing board.
Then he made a seal with his hands: "Wake up!"
Behind each of the two men, a coffin emerged.
The coffins were opened, and two male corpses were lying in their respective coffins, sleeping peacefully.
At the same time, their bodies began to glow with golden light and melt rapidly.
Finally, it turned into dust.
The middle-aged woman finally came to her senses, her head covered in cold sweat and gasping for breath.
Snapped…
Madam Ora slapped her in the face and said coldly, "Jenny, how do you discipline your daughter? The child is ignorant, and the adults have to go crazy with her? If Master Li Xini hadn't come to visit the family tonight, I would have buried the two of you in the corpse garden on the spot!"
"I can pretend that you guys activated the barrier privately, and at most I'll just let the guests be more alert and not be too rude. But now, you've crossed my bottom line!"
Her voice was cold: "Two bitches! Sows!"
Jenny was slapped to the ground, realized her mistake, and quickly knelt down.
