There was silence in the hall, except for the occasional faint sound of swallowing.
When the wizard from White Fang Castle appeared, everyone thought that Angelet would give him some face and perhaps bargain for a price. But no one expected that the result would be no face at all.
The other party didn't even say a word, and was immediately dismissed.
Viana, who was standing behind Angele, swallowed her saliva and lowered her head beside Angele in a low voice.
"Beyond the ancestral White Fang Castle"
Angelet said nothing, but gave him a faint look. His warning gaze instantly blocked Viana's next words.
Withdrawing his gaze, Angelet returned his gaze to Princess Kaliana standing in front of him.
"How old are you this year?" he asked gently. "Don't worry, I can give birth to you with your godfather's arm. It's not a big deal."
The princess was originally full of tears, but when she heard this, she was stunned.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, I never lie or deceive others." Angelet smiled. If it was not necessary, he added it to himself.
Cariana then wiped the tears on her face. "I am 19 this year." She managed to regain some of her original temperament and composure, but the moment when her godfather was seriously injured just now is still replaying in her heart, which makes her
He became increasingly frightened by the moody and powerful wizard in front of him.
"19," Angele frowned, "There are still 6 years left. You should live at the port now and don't go anywhere. Someone, please take Her Royal Highness out and find a place to rest."
"Yes!" Two guards hurried forward. One of them helped the prince, and the other walked behind the princess and took them out of the hall.
Angelet had almost done everything he needed to handle, giving birth to the prince's arm, and the prototype of the family had been roughly established. There was no need for him to do the rest of the things himself. He explained a few words and then everything was done.
The affairs were handed over to Viana, the main line, and he was asked to continue presiding over the meeting. He went back to the villa to rest.
Riding in a pure white six-horse carriage, Angelet returned to the villa without any delay along the way.
He gently took off his robe and hung it on the hanger by the door. Angelet was only wearing a white silk shirt and dark tight trousers. He had a silver hooked dagger inserted upside down at his waist, and a black pendant-like pendant.
Small mirror.
"My lord, you are back." Two maids came forward and knelt down to change his leather boots.
"I want to take a bath. Is the pool in the back clean?" Angelet felt a little hot all over. Although he could use witchcraft to clean his body, taking a bath occasionally was also a way to relax.
"You're ready. The water has been put away. You can take a bath at any time." The maid replied respectfully.
Angelet nodded, walked through the middle hall, passed the spiral staircase, and walked to the backyard.
In the middle of a small garden at the back, there is a round white swimming pool. The water in the pool is light blue, rippling gently with the breeze. There is a thick layer of ice condensed on the edge, giving off a cold chill.
Angelet took off his clothes and jumped in from the side.
The cold pool water reached from his toes to his chest, which stimulated Angele to take a deep breath. He just leaned against the pool, raised his head and slowly narrowed his eyes.
"The softened water at 41 degrees below zero is used for bathing." He held up a hand of ice water and poured it down slowly. Then he looked at the maids far away from here and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"Unconsciously, it has become difficult for ordinary people to approach me."
He opened his mouth and blew out a puff of yellow air, exuding a strong sulfur smell. The teeth in his mouth were like crocodile fangs, white and sharp.
He just raised his head and looked at the sky.
In the blue and jade-like sky, white clouds moved slowly with the wind, and a group of big white birds just flew overhead, making a chirping sound.
Angelet felt that the heat all over his body was slowly dissipating with the cold water of the pool. He sat quietly by the pool, leaning against the cold stone wall, and closed his eyes slightly in comfort. He actually fell asleep in a daze.
.
I don't know how long it took, but Angelet slowly woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes in confusion.
The sky was pitch black, and the two full moons overlapped, like two unevenly stacked white disks. The entire sky was densely covered with tiny stars, like inlaid diamonds.
There were waves of cooing owl hoots in my ears, mixed with the subtle hissing of insects.
Angelet was leaning lazily by the pool. He was not prepared to get up just like that. He spread his hands and rested his head on the bank of the pool.
Suddenly he felt an itch in his right hand and turned his face to look. There was a thin crack on the smooth white bricks, and a small red insect was slowly arching upwards in the crack. However, Angelet's arm blocked the exit and he could not.
come out.
The small insect is similar to a centipede, with a bright red body and a hard carapace. The only difference from a centipede is its tail. The tail of the small insect is scissor-shaped, faintly blue, and seems to be poisonous.
Angelet pinched the small insect and put it in his hand, observing it with interest.
"This little guy is actually not afraid of my breath."
Angele knew that the aura of his own bloodline was very terrifying, and ordinary creatures could not approach him at all. Once he let go of his suppression, no creature below level four would be qualified to look directly at his existence. This was because the gap in life levels was too large.
Even if he suppresses himself now, some weaker individuals, such as insects and mice, will vaguely feel the terrifying aura in his body and dare not approach him. Unexpectedly, he encountered a little insect here that is not afraid of him at all.
"Is it an exception, or is it my own change?" Angelet played with the bug for a while, then threw it away. He began to pay careful attention to the cracks in the bricks beside the pool. Soon, he found another black beetle, slowly moving from
The pool in front of him turned and climbed up.
"It seems that I have changed." He stood up from the pool naked and stood on the shore. A maid, who was blue with cold, quickly ran over and carefully put a white bath towel on him.
"Okay, all of you, go down. You can't stay here." There is not much Angelet can do about these ordinary people. They are like fragile, ultra-thin porcelain. If the energy radiation is slightly greater, they might
Cause permanent physical damage. Let alone just relax, if you stay close for too long, these maids will be unable to bear it and become seriously ill.
A few days ago, a maid was too attentive and stayed with Angelet for ten more minutes. After she returned, she fell to the ground and died suddenly without any warning. After Angelet checked her, he ordered no one to get too close to him.
Strict order.
Walking back along the pool and back to the spiral staircase hall, Angelet was slightly stunned as soon as he entered the door. He stood there and frowned at the scene in the hall.
The hall was brightly lit by candles, and there were more than a dozen young girls standing in the middle. They looked like they were only in their teens, and most of them looked down at Angelet tremblingly. Some of these girls were wearing skirts, and some were wearing shirts and trousers.
Some simply wore leather armor.
"What's going on?" Angelet asked in a deep voice. "Who arranged for you to come in?"
He keenly discovered that all of these girls had good figures and faces, and the main reason was that their life force fields were much stronger than ordinary people. They were almost ready to be knights. Ordinary people of this level were enough to stay by his side.
for a longer period of time without getting hurt.
"Ancestor" a blond girl wearing tight-fitting silver armor stood up. "We are the main line of the family and members of each branch. Here is a letter from the patriarch. Please read it." She held a black sheepskin letter with both hands.
Hand the roll forward.
Angelet frowned and took it, unfolding it directly.
'Respect the great Ancestor Angele, I hope you can forgive us for our desire for the pure blood of the family. The thirteen girls sent to you are all excellent reserve knights selected by the family. They are sent here to take care of you more conveniently.
Daily life. When you are interested, it can also help you relax.
What follows is a bunch of gossip introducing other family affairs.
But Angele already understood what they meant. All these girls were sent to serve him. The foundation of establishing a family principality lies in the continuation and orthodoxy of the bloodline. The family's senior officials put great effort into selecting these girls, just to make them as good as possible.
Let yourself leave a trace of your core fundamental blood.
Although the fertility of wizards is extremely low, no one can say when this will happen. After all, this is a matter of probability. With so many maidens, if one of them can become pregnant, it can be used as the basis for the founding of a principality.
When he thought of this, Angele was a little speechless. To be honest, if it were other outsiders, he could enjoy it with peace of mind, but these girls standing in front of him can actually be regarded as his granddaughters.
Seniority. This really made him feel weird.
Although this is actually a common rule, many wizards are treated like this after returning, just to leave a pure bloodline for the family. The bloodline theory has always been the most recognized theory in the wizarding world. It has also been confirmed by countless examples. So.
In order to keep the family's blood pure, the girls standing here are all selected from the family members.
"Did that guy from Viana arrange for you to come here? What's your name?" Angelet asked calmly.
"Defil, Delfil. Grius Leo." The girl who took the lead quickly replied. "Please rest assured, we will do our best to serve your life and meet all your needs!"
After all, she was still a nineteen-year-old girl, and it was really too embarrassing for her to say her words of devotion so confidently. Standing in front of Angelet with her head lowered, her cheeks were red with shame, her whole body was stiff, and her mood was extremely uneasy.
"Okay, I understand, Delphire. You need to arrange for the others to find their own rooms to stay. We will talk about this later." Angelet threw away the letter and with a sneer, the letter automatically burned into black ash and turned into ashes.
He got into the trash can not far away. Then he went straight up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
Many girls standing in the hall saw this magical scene with their own eyes, and most of them had their eyes shining brightly.
Delphi felt this magical power up close, combined with the mystery and weirdness of the legendary wizards, and his heart became more and more heated. In fact, many of these girls came here voluntarily, and the rest were actively pushed here by their parents.
of.
This is an opportunity. Once you can conceive a child, it is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step. No one can bear this temptation. The same is true for Delphi. She remembered what her mother said to her before she left. Thinking of these days because of her ancestors
The terrifying power brought about by the increase in status and rights.
