The Duke has silver curly hair, a clear face, and a particularly straight nose.
The overall description cannot be said to be handsome, but he is decent enough that he is not a good person at first glance.
Compared with ordinary middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, he has much fewer crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. At first glance, there are no even visible pores on his skin, making him look like he is in his early thirties.
——It is well maintained, which shows how much influence a pampered life can have on a person.
And perhaps he wanted to make up for whatever was missing. The word wise man seemed to be a strange spell for Duke Albert.
Hearing Neil's last words, he shuddered, his eyes suddenly changed, and his throat rolled, but he maintained his dignity and restrained himself from speaking directly.
Seeing that the time was right, Neil added.
"But think about it, these poems are just rumors. Indeed, no one has ever been able to... By the way, I remember that the flower field in this town also has the name Miracle Flower Sea?"
As soon as these words came out, Albert Talanik's eyes flashed, he turned to look at Neil, and then waved his hand.
"You don't need to say more."
Neil's heart tightened, thinking that things were about to get colder, when he saw Duke Albert picking up his riverwood cane, turning his attention to Abdia, who was dismissing the maids and walking over on his own initiative.
"Abdia, ask someone to bring the things up now!" Albert raised his chin, "Move faster this time. We are in the wild mountains here. I don't know if the wind will be strong in the future!"
Quite professional.
Neil couldn't help but grin.
This is also something the Duke often does, so it's not surprising.
The Duke does not know magic, which is common in aristocratic circles that value blood, and is something worth understanding.
Heirs of nobles are usually not like this. Those who rely on magic to revitalize their families are usually the young wizards in the family who happen to be discovered to have magical talents.
If there is no talent as a foundation, only the common people who are trying to make a comeback, that is, the overly enthusiastic middle class.
In the final analysis, it is all due to the blood curse.
In the Kingdom of Cole, it is not legal for those who meet the curse conditions to intentionally violate the blood curse, and will need to be punished depending on the situation.
Although there is a probability and the harm of the blood curse is not absolute, as early as a hundred years ago, the extremely foresight and foresight allowed the former king of the Cole Kingdom to establish such a law.
Before this, there were constant disputes caused by the blood curse, but no one thought that punishment would be prepaid for such a seemingly unsolvable future problem.
This seems like a ridiculous decision.
It was not until some subsequent tragedies occurred in the country under the rule of the old king that violated the rules that were widely publicized and the harm was truly publicized that this rule was truly accepted.
The instability caused by the blood curse is far beyond imagination.
Without such stability as the cornerstone, the Cole Kingdom would not have been able to develop to where it is today.
As a high-ranking nobleman of the Cole Kingdom, the same is true for Duke Albert. Although he does not have a publicly acknowledged wife, he does have many lovers and an countless number of illegitimate children.
Neil knows this very well.
Not only was the information Mo Gan gave him extremely detailed, including most of the men and women whose identities and ages were sufficient to take advantage of it, but there were also some contents revealed in actual conversations.
Quite exciting.
However, Duke Albert was accustomed to this kind of "accomplishment" and regarded it as a capital to show off. He did not hide it from Neil, who tried his best to agree with him no matter what.
At that time, Neil listened patiently and felt that his world view had been refreshed. He felt that it was unbelievable that such a thing existed in the aristocratic circle.
Over the next few days, when he saw the nobles of the royal capital on the street, Neil's eyes looked different. It could be said that they were offbeat, inquisitive, and extremely weird. Because of this kind of peeping, they were almost taken into custody by their guards as suspicious persons.
Later, Neil also reflected that this should be just an example. Under the glorious leadership of the queen with outstanding political achievements and excellent style, the Cole Kingdom should not have fallen to this level.
Probably Duke Albert was able to get used to it because of his strong power and perversion.
In addition, he has no destiny to learn magic, but he has the heart to "research magic".
Such as the current situation.
As expected, Abdia found someone to take out Duke Albert's "magic materials" from the end of the third carriage.
A pool with a special texture.
The khaki edge is the main structure of the pool. On the platform with staggered textures at the bottom, there are two fist-sized gems embedded in it.
They vary in size and are blue and translucent. You can vaguely see the shadow of liquid flowing inside the hollow, which is a kind of fine gold powder.
After the water was injected, the gems at the bottom seemed to emit a weak and uniform fluorescence, causing the entire pool to change color, and the originally colorless and transparent liquid was covered with a halo.
It was a rather light halo, and the color contained in it was extremely weak, but it was difficult to look away. Just like the first morning light in the sky, it gave people an indescribable sense of beauty.
Duke Albert stood and watched several of his deacons complete the work. After Abdia personally confirmed the situation and activated the two gems with magic injection, he waved her hand to let her stand aside.
The magic works quickly.
In the pool, the originally stationary water slowly rolled up, forming a tiny whirlpool.
The vortex stabilizes its shape at first, and then gradually grows in size, swaying unsteadily in repeated circlings, and the subsequent waves appear to swim endlessly, as if they are alive.
Then, a deeper layer of light blue emerged from the bottom of the water.
The effect of gold powder is also reflected. The reflection is embedded in the water waves, like the stars in the sky reflected in the water, which is bright and charming.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Duke Albert finally condescended and walked to the front.
He raised his hand and raised the exquisite scepter carved from Tianhe wood, making it perpendicular to the water and suspended in the center above the pool.
Then, on top of the ripples at the bottom, another layer of fluctuations gradually appeared, like ripples, and like circles of halo rippling out.
The rippling speed may be fast or slow, but there is a clear target in the vortex.
Although Neil, who was observing from the sidelines, did not understand the principle, he was very clear about the subsequent steps.
Because the situation presented is quite simple.
The Duke straightened his chest, looked sideways, and looked ahead when the ripples spread most frequently.
But he frowned.
Because contrary to the original expectation, the place where the ripples pointed was not the sea of flowers or the mountains, but the road leading to a small town on one side.
After beckoning someone to lift the pool, Duke Albert withdrew his cane first, and then he and the others arrived at the door into the town.
Abdia quickly and smoothly completed all the procedures for bringing people in and the reporting process. The Duke looked around and saw the curious eyes of the passing townspeople, and suddenly frowned.
In the eyes of the self-proclaimed noble Duke, all the unauthorized sights of civilians are despicable, like the dirtiest mud in the ground. Even if he takes one more look, he will feel that his eyes are polluted.
But Albert's self-esteem made him feel that directly confronting these people and taking the initiative to communicate would also lower his status.
Naturally, it does not conform to the noble and noble characteristics.
So he followed his own habit and asked the guards to drive away the idlers and others who might be in the way, and then walked into the town.
The usually peaceful town of Windsor may have never seen such a high-ranking nobleman or a prominent figure who is difficult to maintain, let alone such an arrogant and arduous battle.
However, the time was wrong, there were few people on the street, and the guards, trained by the butler, only acted in a domineering manner without being too conspicuous, so no one resisted or raised objections.
Perhaps they just thought that the owner of this motorcade was in a hurry - Duke Albert couldn't figure it out himself, but there were people wiping his ass for him.
However, things will change soon.
After every section of the journey, the Duke would stop and try his Tianhe wooden scepter again in the pool set down by his men, looking for the route before setting off again.
After about three or four times, the speed of the whirlpool will slow down, and the water patterns guided by the Tianhe wood will also become weaker. At this time, Abdia needs to step forward to replenish his magic power.
Finally, after driving half of the convoy through the relatively large town, Albert stopped in front of Robbie Reynolds' store.
The red-haired young man moved a wicker chair and half-reclined, half-sited at the door to bask in the sun. He raised his hand to block the sunlight and realized something was wrong.
Seeing this huge team approaching the store door and carrying a very large object, Robbie narrowed his eyes with an evil look in his eyes.
"Are you looking for trouble?"
He opened his mouth with an unkind word.
Neil saw that the situation was not good. He felt that this young man seemed to have a bad temper and was difficult to communicate with, so he might not be able to handle it if he continued.
So he hurriedly spoke to the Duke to draw his attention, "Your Highness the Duke, do you think this place is the suspicious place where the Tianhe Wood Scepter guides? There may be clues related to the Forgotten Valley?"
Neil tried his best.
But things seem to be out of control.
Albert had already noticed Robbie's disrespect and glanced at him contemptuously, thinking that he was a street gangster not worth paying any attention to and not worth wasting his time.
Then he headed in the direction pointed by Tianhemu and walked a few steps directly into the store.
Robbie had never been angry since he was a child, so of course he quit immediately. He immediately got up, followed the curtain that Albert opened, and barged in.
Things were getting worse and worse, and Neil also had a headache. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Abdia following him in. He prayed secretly and prepared to observe what was different about this store...
Then he saw an inconspicuous sign on the pillar next to the store door, but the height was just within his eye level.
It's a very hidden sign. If you don't pay attention, you may just think it is part of the decorative pattern.
Neil's body stiffened.
He turned around and looked at the second half of the team, and suddenly realized that there was an extra person there at some point.
"Grande", who had told Neil everything, stood there like an ordinary passerby, passing by occasionally, but actively eating melons.
Extremely innocent.
If it weren't for his condescending height, the tense appearance of someone secretly appearing at the entrance of the store to attract attention, and the fact that Neil had been anticipating his appearance and reacted immediately after seeing the sign, he might even have a very thin sense of presence.
This is a planned situation.
Mogan greeted politely and silently, and continued to watch the performance he planned but never performed at the back of the team where almost no one could see it.
