Half an hour later, after simply finishing the sandwich for lunch, Lawrence and the others rode a carriage to the upper city of Eagle Fort in the north. To be precise, this place had left the urban area of Eagle Fort.
Fatina chose to stay in the office to look after the house, because this mission needed to be in the lady's manor, and as a red dragon warlock, it was really impossible to perform in that kind of place. According to her, this kind of confined space
If you ask her to complete the task, it will probably turn into demolishing the building.
Since we left the urban area, the density of buildings suddenly dropped. The high-rise buildings and row houses on both sides of the road have gradually disappeared, and the road surface has changed from asphalt to cobblestone.
Iron gas lamps are neatly arranged on the crosswalk. Behind them are luxurious manors surrounded by hedges.
"The richest people in the city live here." Saifei said, looking at the receding scenery on the roadside. "My grandfather once dreamed of recreating the glory of the Coburg family in the Old World in the New World. Among them,
A very important specific goal is to live in a residential area here in the uptown area."
"Of course, this is just a dream. My grandfather never fulfilled his dream of living here when he was young." Sephis looked at Lawrence and shrugged. "But I think if everything goes well, I will
It’s very possible to live here.”
What Sephiel said is true. Extraordinary people can easily accumulate wealth in a short period of time through their own power, which may take ordinary people several generations to accumulate. Of course, the corresponding thing is that their mortality rate is much higher than that of ordinary people. After all,
Although extraordinary people are powerful, the problems they encounter are all related to extraordinary beings.
A few minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of two magnificent wrought iron doors. At this time, a housekeeper was already waiting here.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Coburg. And of course, your companion." After everyone got out of the car, the lady who had met in the store before saluted Saifei and the others. "
Please come with me now, my master is already waiting for you in the room."
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, several people walked forward along the driveway sandwiched by neatly trimmed hedges. When looking past the low hedges, Lawrence and the others could see a patch of grass.
The grass and grass edges are trimmed into various animal-like trees.
Suddenly, a sound of flapping wings came from the side. Lawrence looked up and saw a brilliant blue peacock flying up from nowhere, and then walking gracefully on the top of the hedge.
"They are so wealthy." Lawrence muttered to himself. The Marshall family last time was almost as rich as this one, but the decoration of their suburban resort estate was more rustic than luxurious.
"My host is the daughter of Count Ambazac of the Frans Empire. When she married her husband, Mr. Fontaine, he rebuilt an exact wedding here based on the Count's holiday estate that she liked the most when she was a child.
A gift for my master, Mrs. Fontaine." On the way, the housekeeper proudly introduced the master's situation to Lawrence and the others.
At the end of the straight driveway, a very respectable mansion stood there. The cut glass of the windows on the ground floor reflected the morning sunlight, and there was a small white marble fountain in the center of the small square in front of the mansion.
Arriving at the main door of the room, the housekeeper stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door was opened silently by a servant. Along a corridor covered with bright red carpets with gold edges, the three of them walked into a room together.
living room.
The floor of this living room is covered with an extremely gorgeous velvet carpet imported from China, and all the furniture is also made of mahogany and elegantly decorated in the China style. The entire living room forms a style that has recently become popular among the rich.
Very popular oriental style.
In the middle of the living room, a blond middle-aged woman wearing a gorgeous morning dress sat alone on a heavy chair, and on the chair to her left sat two very dressed-up women in leather vests and leather trousers.
Sharp young man.
"Welcome, Miss Coburg, and Mr. August." After entering the room, the housekeeper walked quickly to the middle-aged woman's side, bent down and said something, and then the middle-aged woman spoke.
He gave a slight nod to Lawrence and the others.
Lawrence and the others naturally put their right hands on their left chests and bowed in return, and then sat on the chairs to the right of the lady. After Lawrence and the others sat down, the lady said: "I think my butler should have told you to face
What's going on? I invited you here today just to solve my child's problem."
"Of course, I know that it is not very compliant to ask two families to solve the same thing at once in this situation. But I would like to ask you to understand a mother's concern for her child. As compensation, I also promise you
, regardless of whether you succeed or not, I will give you a thank you gift."
"We can understand." Everyone present nodded slightly to express their attitude. After these polite words were finished, everyone carefully asked the victim about his itinerary in the past few days, and then led by several servants to the second floor.
Check out the situation of Mr. Fontaine Jr.
Due to the basic rules in the world of extraordinary beings, both parties entered the bedroom separately to check the situation. When it was Lawrence's turn to enter the bedroom, he could see at a glance that the young man on the bed was not in good condition as soon as he entered. At least.
That pale face was a perfect illustration of his current condition.
As a professional doctor, Lawrence examined the young man on the bed. It was obvious that he was in a very weak state, as weak as a malnourished man after traveling hundreds of kilometers.
After the routine examination, Lawrence began to use magic to examine the young man. Among them, [Detect Magic] found that he had a magical aura left after someone cast a spell on him. However, [Detect Poison] did not find anything on this young man.
What traces of poisoning.
"So, Mr. Fontaine must have planted some kind of negative magic." Lawrence nodded after looking at the magic test results, and then frowned slightly as he looked at the unconscious young man lying on the bed. "
But where did this negative magic come from?”
After all, when he first checked the room, he didn't find magic aura anywhere else except this young man. In desperation, he tried to release his special [Identification Technique] on the young man.
Unexpectedly, the identification technique, which in theory can only have an effect on magic artifacts, also reacted to the young man. This may represent some kind of benign mutation caused by Bai Ze's special power.
[Under the influence of magic, the soul is lost and a large amount of soul is lost.] A line of information appeared in front of Lawrence, [If you want to make this person return to normal, you need to find the missing part of the soul and cultivate for a period of time.]
These mutated versions of [Identification Techniques] did not obtain much information from this young man, but they told Lawrence some key news. The two most important points are that the cause of Mr. Fontaine's illness is soul loss and
The soul is missing rather than lost.
"Then the next step is to find the missing part of the soul." Lawrence suddenly felt that this commission suddenly became troublesome. "But Eagle Castle is so big, how can you find a needle in a haystack?"
