Chapter 2 The Gaskell Family
With the guidance of two female guards, Wright and Cecilia walked into the political center of the Thousand Islands Province, Fort Mermaid.
Because of the grand ceremony a few days later, the Mermaid Castle was not solemn and solemn at this moment, but was filled with joy.
Various beautiful and cheerful decorations, and the stone pillars carved with reliefs were hung with dazzling arrays of shells. The guards and maids in the castle were also dressed in costumes.
"Maoi, congratulations on getting married!" Soon, Wright and Cecilia met Maui.
But Wright and Maui haven't seen each other for several years. They even felt like they were different from each other. After all, ten years ago, Maui and Wright were both students in the academy, like flowers in a greenhouse. Now, Wright is a general of the elite legion of the Empire, and Maui became one of the top ten dukes of the Empire last year.
Of course, as a side branch of the Gaskel family, his ability to serve as the Duke is naturally a marriage, and on the other hand, it is also related to his ability and skill, or his identity as a magician who is proficient in alchemy.
The three of them originally wanted to give gifts, but before that.
"Puchi~" "Haha~" "Chirky~"
"Maoi, what's your outfit?" No wonder the three of them were funny. Maui's outfit was very strange at this time. The clothes he was wearing were very fat. Maui's relatively short and thin figure was like a child wearing adult clothes. There was a huge cloak behind her, just like a huge strange bird, covered with colorful feathers, but her pants were diamond-shaped patterns, like fish scales. The hat, or outfit on her head, was similar to Electro's head shape, and should be imitating the feathers on her head.
"Traditional, this is tradition!" Maui waved his hand helplessly and said to his friends: "You are not unaware that the residents of our Thousand Islands Province generally worship Peng Diao and Ju Kun. It's fine, I'm going to get married soon. In the past few days, I have to wear this kind of traditional clothing."
Wright and Cecilia stopped laughing and presented their own gifts.
Although normally, you should hand over the gift to the guards or waiters when you get started, it might be better to hand it over to Maui directly with the friendship between Wright and Maui.
Wright gave him a staff inlaid with a level nine fire monster crystal core. The magic core originated from a level nine-level "Firefire Demon Turtle". It was hunted by Wright in the Sunset Mountains and then bought the precious wood from the auction. As for inlaid and carving the magic circle, he was looking for junior sister Betty. Now her alchemy level is quite good.
The relationship between Cecilia and Maui is relatively distant. The gift I gave was a relatively precious set of alchemy equipment, which was worth more than 100,000 gold coins. It can be regarded as the best level that can be purchased normally on the market. The more exquisite ones can only be found at the auction.
"Chirky~" Electrolu was stunned for a moment when he saw the gifts given by the two of them. It was not ready, and then he thought for a while, endured the pain and pulled out his two feathers.
Maui didn't say much, and accepted it directly.
"This staff is good, thank you, brother!"
"Thank you sister-in-law, this equipment is really good, but unfortunately I don't have much time to study alchemy!"
"Well, Electro, you're so careless, two feathers... Forget it, even if it's the mutated Pengyu feather, it's very memorable."
"Chirky~~~"
The three of them greeted each other for a while, but Maui was also very busy as the owner. She asked the waiter to arrange a room for the two of them, and asked someone to prepare some food for Electro, then turned around and left to receive other visitors.
Lying in the guest room of Mermaid Castle, Cecilia was lying in Wright's arms and said with some emotion: "Wright, you old classmate has changed a lot. I remember that he used to like alchemy very much, and he was also very free."
"Yes, yes!" Wright couldn't help but touch his nose: "I still remember the first time I met Maui. That kid was very stupid and cute! And at that time, the four of us were wandering around the academy and saw the deeds of the senior figures in the academy. All three of us said that we wanted to become a great sanctuary in the future, but Maui said that he wanted to become a great alchemist, and even tinker with alchemy equipment in the dormitory, which scared us to suppress him."
"Later, about twelve years ago? I came back from the Sunset Mountain Trial, well, we met at that time!"
Speaking of this, Cecilia's face turned slightly red.
"Hmph, you still remember it!"
"Of course I remember!"
"Hey, when I went back that time, I heard that Maui was engaged. It is said that he married two young ladies from their Gaskel family's direct descendants. I was very surprised that time. He is half a year younger than me."
"But unexpectedly, his marriage has been delayed for twelve years. But probably because the pressure of being the Duke of Mermaid Castle is too great, and Maui's personality has become more and more calm, which is also a good thing. I remembered that he was the least attentive person in our dormitory in cultivation, and now he is already a level 5 magician."
The two chatted, and it gradually became late.
In another hidden room in Mermaid Castle, Maui helped an old woman sit slowly on the chair.
"Okay, little Maui, I'm a strong Sanctuary. Ahem, I'm not that fragile."
"Clan ancestor, is there no other way to curse your curse!"
"Okay, don't think too much about Maui. I'm afraid that only the Pope of the Holy See of Light can be lifted! But I absolutely do not allow the so-called 'Lord believers' to reach their hands to the Thousand Islands Province! The Thousand Islands Province can only be the territory of our Gaskel family." A trace of evil spirit flashed between the old woman's eyebrows and eyes, which made Maui's whole body stiff.
However, soon the old woman discovered Maui's condition and her evil spirits were restrained.
"It's a pity that you and Elena, you two little guys. You three should have gotten married five years ago. Now maybe we next Duke Degaskel will run away!" The old woman showed a kind look on her face and joked with Maui.
"Clan Ancestor!" Maui could only smile bitterly at this moment, "Can we invite enough strong men this time? Hamlin... As far as we have collected, he is a strong man at the peak of the Holy Realm, and there are also a huge number of transformed monsters, and his strength is not weak!"
"Of course I know that he is not weak!" The old woman had a stern face. "If he is weak, how could he escape from the joint efforts of Xiao Hei and I, and even released the curse for me!"
"But don't worry, this time I will take you to get married and inherit the throne of dukes to at least invite three powerful people from the Holy Land, and behind some visitors, there must be powerful people from the Holy Land."
"For example, your friend Wright, as far as I know, he is afraid that he now has the strength to compete with the weakest sanctuary! And if the master behind him can invite him, there will be no problem killing Hamlin."
"Is that true?" Maui was stunned. "Clan ancestor, why don't I go and talk to him. Maybe he can invite his teacher to me in my relationship with Wright."
"Okay, no, even if your friend is willing, the one behind him may not be willing to take action. After all, Hamlin has a lot of relationships."
"What's more, that old guy is here too!" As he said this, a smile appeared on the old woman's face, "That old guy is really heartless. If I weren't dying, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come back from the Arctic Icefield!"
"That old guy's strength is not worse than Hamlin. Then, if you ask for a few more helpers, Hamlin will be dead."
After dinner, Wright and Cecilia walked on the beach holding hands. Mermaid Castle also has a part near the sea. The beach is well maintained, with delicate white sand, salty sea breeze, and bright moonlight and starry sky forming a very wonderful picture.
Suddenly, a voice came: "Wright, can you come over and talk to me alone?" A voice came. Wright looked up and saw Maui wearing a strange coat, holding two glasses of fruit wine in his hand. Wright gave Cecilia a look. Cecilia reluctantly let go, glared at Maui fiercely, left alone, intending to slap Electrome for feeding.
"What's so secret? Maui!" Maui's eyes dazzled, and Wright appeared beside him.
"I didn't expect your strength to reach this level!" Maui sighed quite emotionally, "Twenty years have passed, you are so strong now."
"Maoi, just say whatever you want!" Wright patted Maui on the shoulder, "In our relationship, you don't need to think too much."
